Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 1324 - 1322: Alliance

"Regarding this beast tide incident, I have investigated these past days. That Ice Wolf Monster I drove away is called the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf. It used to be one of the two Great Demons’ subordinates. Recently, it discovered a secret realm—a secret realm capable of accelerating time. This creature disappeared for one or two months, only to emerge with its current level of power, and even brought out numerous beasts from within the secret realm. Those mutated beasts with two heads from before? It was precisely them who instigated this beast tide and incited the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf to attempt the annihilation of humanity in the Hidden World, aiming to turn it entirely into the demon beasts’ territory."

Looking at Xia Yan and Xia Yuntian, Lin Feng recounted everything he had discovered. This matter was truly of great significance. If certain individuals were to learn of this secret realm, they would undoubtedly aim to exploit it. That was why Lin Feng chose to discuss this matter privately with Xia Yan and Xia Yuntian.

"How could this be!" Xia Yuntian, hearing Lin Feng’s words, finally understood the reason for the beast tide, his expression turning solemn. Even if they managed to survive today, peace wouldn’t last long going forward. That Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf had fled; once it recovered from its injuries, it would surely emerge to cause havoc again. For a moment, Xia Yuntian began pondering how to permanently eliminate this threat.

"So that’s why there’s chaos." On the other side, Xia Yan’s expression didn’t look much better. He had seen firsthand the strength of the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf and those mutated beasts. Their combined force was overwhelmingly powerful—strong enough to entirely destroy the four Prominent Families during a beast tide. After speaking, Xia Yan shifted his gaze to Lin Feng, seeking his opinion.

"What do you think we should do to completely resolve this beast tide crisis?" Xia Yan asked Lin Feng with utmost seriousness. This was the key question—only by properly resolving it could they prepare for any future developments.

"Resolving the beast tide issue isn’t actually too difficult. The main focus should be figuring out how to kill the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf and all the mutated beasts. As for the native demon beasts in the Hidden World, we should strive not to kill them if possible. After all, if the Hidden World consisted only of humans, it would lose its sense of ambition." Lin Feng didn’t hesitate to share his thoughts. This was the only viable solution for now.

"I agree. But if you take the lead in killing the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf, it shouldn’t be an issue. The mutated beasts, however, present a major problem. Those creatures all have early Divine Change Realm strength. I can barely handle three or four at once, but what about the rest?" Xia Yan expressed his worries to Lin Feng. While he essentially agreed with Lin Feng’s plan, the mutated beasts were the real challenge due to their exceptional strength and large numbers. Solving this issue would be crucial—without it, nobody could succeed.

Lin Feng nodded after hearing Xia Yan’s concerns. After a brief moment of thought, he replied, "Here’s what I suggest: Contact the other four Prominent Families and ask them to send representatives. The four major families must unite for a counterattack; only then can this issue be resolved."

As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, Xia Yuntian interjected: "Mr. Lin, our Xia Family and the Song Family will certainly agree to join forces in a counterattack. But the Gu Family and Kong Family might not. Those two families have been close lately, and the Kong Family has a Female Immortal among them. They might ignore us."

Xia Yuntian’s words reflected his true thoughts. Lin Feng had previously saved the Song Family, and they had pledged to ally with the Xia Family to confront the beast tide. But the problem lay with the Kong Family and Gu Family. When faced with the beast tide’s attacks, the Kong Family, with their Female Immortal, had minimal casualties. They might not be willing to cooperate.

Upon hearing Xia Yuntian’s words, Lin Feng smiled and immediately responded: "When contacting them, let them know that any family joining the Anti-Beast Tide Alliance will receive a personal upgrade from me to enhance their defensive formation’s protective power. Additionally, I’ll share methods for dealing with mutated beasts. Convey this message, and even if the Kong Family head has water in his brain, he’s bound to agree."

"Alright, that’s the plan!" Xia Yuntian, thrilled by Lin Feng’s arrangement, exclaimed. He then hurried off to contact the other Prominent Families.

Once Xia Yuntian left the cave, only Xia Yan and Lin Feng remained. Xia Yan spoke again, addressing Lin Feng: "The Song Family, for its own protection, will certainly come here. The Gu Family might as well. However, as for the Kong Family—you should be cautious. That Female Immortal has recently stirred up a lot of trouble in the Hidden World, pillaging various sects. I suspect her motives are far from simple. I think it’s best if you prepare for this in advance."

That was Xia Yan’s concern. In recent months, peace had been elusive in the Hidden World. Several sects had been wiped out by Su Qi’s forces, especially powerful ones. Clearly, Su Qi had particular intentions. Xia Yan thought long and hard but ultimately decided that warning Lin Feng would be prudent.

"I’ve already noticed it, so there’s no need to worry." Lin Feng replied with a smile after hearing Xia Yan’s concerns. He was well-aware of Su Qi’s antics and had a rough idea of her objectives. Lin Feng wasn’t overly worried, as he had already anticipated everything.

"If that’s the case, I’m relieved." Hearing Lin Feng’s reassurance, Xia Yan exhaled deeply. After understanding Lin Feng over the past period, Xia Yan trusted him. If Lin Feng had already prepared for this, there was no need for concern. Thinking this, Xia Yan finally felt at ease.

"Lin Feng, how do we eliminate the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf and those mutated beasts this time?"

"This can’t be achieved all at once; it must be done gradually. If my guess is correct, the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf must have fled to the secret realm to recover from its injuries."

"Then why don’t we move together and kill all the mutated beasts? Wouldn’t that solve the issue?"

"It’s not that simple. The mutated beasts can enter and exit the secret realm, meaning they likely have ways of returning. Moreover, we don’t know how many mutated beasts are inside the secret realm. If even more come pouring out, things will be even more troublesome."

"That’s true. So, what should we do then?"

"Once the other three major families arrive, I’ll tell them what to do."

...

Afterward, Lin Feng and Xia Yan continued discussing strategies to confront the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf and the mutated beasts. This matter was of significant importance, allowing no room for carelessness...

Indeed, Lin Feng’s guesses were entirely accurate. After escaping to the Lost Forest, the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf was gravely injured. It had to be noted that the two Ice Wolves it had previously summoned were formed from its innate demon energy. The direct explosion had inflicted serious harm—damage that couldn’t be repaired in a short period. The Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf was vomiting blood and coughing incessantly, clearly severely injured.

Surrounding the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf now were all mutated beasts. Over this period, the upper command of the Lost Forest had been completely replaced by the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf’s forces; all positions were filled with mutated beasts. These creatures were its direct subordinates, the ones it trusted the most.

"Damned humans! How could I run into someone so powerful? Do they seriously think I’m easy to bully? If I break through to Demon Immortal, that blasted man wouldn’t even know how he died!" Remembering the previous encounter, the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf grew more infuriated, roaring in frustration. Its rage caused white demon energy to erupt from its body, freezing a thousand-meter radius into a world of ice!

"Demon King, that human was indeed formidable. Out of all of us who shielded you, only a handful managed to escape back alive. You must avenge us!" A mutated beast several dozen meters away lamented aloud, clearly distraught. If it weren’t for its quick escape, it wouldn’t have survived!

"Demon King, you must stand up for us!"

"Demon King, we’re all waiting for you to avenge us!"

"Demon King, you have to avenge us no matter what!"

...

The other mutated beasts chimed in, recalling the recent events with fear in their hearts—Lin Feng had now left a deep scar in their psyche. Previously, they had felt invincible, but in front of Lin Feng, they couldn’t even endure one move. If Lin Feng charged in, they probably wouldn’t even have time to escape!

"Stop whining! I will definitely avenge this grudge. For now, here’s the plan: I’ll return to the secret realm to recover. If anyone dares attack this place, notify me immediately, and I’ll come back as quickly as possible. Meanwhile, don’t halt the offensive against the four major families. I’ll dispatch more demon beasts to assist you. Even if we can’t defeat them outright, we’ll torment them endlessly. Avoid strong opposition—if you encounter powerful enemies, retreat; continue attacking when no experts appear. Let’s see if these humans can endure such relentless harassment!"

The Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf was naturally frustrated as well, but the injuries it had sustained required urgent recuperation. Moreover, it held another plan in its mind: once fully healed, it intended to break through into the Demon Immortal Realm within the secret realm. If and when it achieved Demon Immortal status, it was supremely confident it could kill Lin Feng!

After briefly instructing the mutated beasts, the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf shrank its body and disappeared from their sight, heading back to the secret realm to heal...

.........

Meanwhile, the other three Prominent Families received Xia Yuntian’s notification. Once they learned of Lin Feng’s proposed benefits, Song Wuya immediately responded, agreeing to head to the Xia Family. Gu Nantian deliberated briefly before deciding to go as well. Kong Lifeng hesitated but sought permission from Su Qi, eventually agreeing to travel to the Xia Family as well. Everything unfolded precisely as Lin Feng had anticipated, smoothly and without issue.

Though the four families lived relatively distant from one another, all of them utilized their best flying dharma treasures to convene as quickly as possible. Within less than a day, the family heads of the four Prominent Families had gathered in the Xia Family’s Council Hall. Alongside Lin Feng, there were only five individuals present in the hall.

As everyone took their seats, their eyes collectively turned to Lin Feng, waiting for him to speak.
