Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 1326 - 1324: Lure the Enemy into the Pot

Lin Feng had already defied common sense to such an extent that they couldn’t put it into words. Now, he was an alchemist as well? Was there anything he couldn’t do?! This Lin Feng seemed to master everything—was there anything beyond his capabilities? But after a brief moment of shock, they came to terms with it. When it came to Lin Feng, nothing could be understood using ordinary logic. In fact, they now believed that nothing was impossible for Lin Feng.

Soon, Lin Feng’s elixir was complete. After putting away the elixir, Lin Feng finally met the Family Heads of the Four Prominent Families.

"Mr. Lin, those exotic monster beasts have grown cunning; we can’t even kill a single one anymore. What should we do?" Xia Yuntian was the first to bow to Lin Feng and then asked him urgently. He was genuinely flustered now. If the situation dragged on like this, when would the beast tide finally end?

"Our Song Family is facing the same issue."

"Our Gu Family too!"

"It’s the same for all four families!"

The other three Family Heads also echoed their agreement, expressing that they had encountered the exact same problem. If it weren’t such a desperate situation, they wouldn’t have come here seeking help.

"This is normal. If it were you, knowing you’re marching to your death, would you be eager to do it? These exotic monster beasts can already speak human language—don’t assume they’re fools. I’ve long foreseen this outcome," Lin Feng said with a faint smile after hearing their concerns. He had anticipated this development long ago. Demon beasts weren’t just brute creatures; on the contrary, they were quite intelligent. Anything humans could figure out, these beasts could do just as well.

"Then, Mr. Lin, what should we do?" Song Wuya immediately followed up. Since Lin Feng had anticipated this, he must have a counter-strategy ready. If that was the case, he should quickly reveal it so that they could prepare accordingly.

The other three stared intently at Lin Feng, knowing this was crucial to the attack on the beast tide. They couldn’t afford to miss even a single detail.

"Since they’re all gathering together, we’ll just kill them all at once," Lin Feng said casually.

"How is that even possible?"

"They’re all deep within the Lost Forest! That’s the demon beasts’ territory!"

"Killing one or two might be doable, but what if we run into dozens of them at once?"

...

Upon hearing Lin Feng’s suggestion, the Family Heads immediately panicked. They opposed his plan fervently, unable to believe Lin Feng would suggest such a thing. Thoughts raced through their heads: Lin Feng’s suggestion was outrageous! The exotic monster beasts were surely hiding deep in the Lost Forest, a place that belonged entirely to the demon beasts. If they launched an attack in such a place, who knew how many lives might be lost!

"I never said we’d fight them face-to-face. Do you know where Wanhua Valley is?" Lin Feng asked with a smile, looking at the four visibly flustered Family Heads.

"Yes, we do!"

"That’s a large valley!"

"Our herbal-gathering teams often go to that location!"

...

The Family Heads grew even more confused now at Lin Feng’s mention of Wanhua Valley. What did this valley have to do with the current situation? Were the demon beasts possibly gathering there? Or did Lin Feng have another plan in mind?

Seeing their puzzled expressions, Lin Feng stopped being cryptic and directly laid out his plan: "Wanhua Valley is a very open area with great terrain. I intend to set up a large-scale Five Thunder Tribulation Formation covering the entire valley. Then, we’ll lure the exotic monster beasts into it to trap and kill them all. What do you think?"

In fact, during these past few days, Lin Feng hadn’t been idle. He’d been scouting for terrain suitable for executing a large-scale killing formation. Among several candidates, he’d ultimately settled on Wanhua Valley and the Five Thunder Tribulation Formation. The reason was simple: Wanhua Valley was familiar to the Four Prominent Families, making coordination easy. Moreover, the valley’s natural pentagonal shape made it ideal for setting up the Five Thunder Tribulation Formation.

As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, the Family Heads were utterly shocked. They stood dumbfounded, as if turned into mute wooden statues!

"An array that covers the entire Wanhua Valley..."

"My heavens!"

"This..."

...

The Family Heads’ minds were completely jumbled now. Wanhua Valley’s size was several times larger than any of their family territories combined! To construct such a massive, supercharged formation? Forget about the present Hidden World—there likely weren’t more than a handful of Immortals in history who could manage that. Lin Feng’s ability was nothing short of terrifying, surpassing anything they could imagine!

Now they finally understood why Lin Feng had been able to enhance their Defense Formations so effortlessly before. It turned out Lin Feng’s formation skills were on an entirely different level. Strengthening their formations must have been child’s play for him.

But suddenly, Song Wuya’s sharp mind brought forth another critical question: even if the formation was constructed, how would they lure those exotic monster beasts into it? Without bait, wouldn’t the effort be wasted? With this thought, he quickly spoke: "Mr. Lin, how can we lure the demon beasts into the formation?"

As soon as Song Wuya raised the question, the other three also realized the issue. If the formation was ready but the beasts didn’t fall for the trap, their effort would be in vain.

"That’s simple. Have you forgotten the two Demon Kings? Haven’t you noticed they’ve been absent lately? Over these past days, they’ve been rounding up their former subordinates. Let me give you some inside information: at least half of the demon beasts are now under the leadership of the two Demon Kings. If they spread a misleading signal, do you think the monster beasts won’t take the bait?"

Looking at the Family Heads, Lin Feng explained with a smile. The two Demon Kings’ recent efforts had yielded significant results—half of the demon beast faction was now under their control. Leading the beasts into a trap would be straightforward, and Lin Feng wasn’t worried about the monsters resisting.

Sure enough, after Lin Feng finished speaking, the Family Heads suddenly understood everything. They gave him their heartfelt praise in unison: "Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!"

They spoke in one voice, thoroughly impressed by Lin Feng’s ingenuity. To them, Lin Feng had played this move beautifully. With this strategy, the exotic monster beasts, no matter their prowess, could not escape their doom. The mere thought of eliminating these beasts filled the Family Heads with elation!

"Mr. Lin, do you need any materials for the formation? Whatever we have, we’ll definitely contribute!"

"I do need some, mainly thunder-attributed demon cores or highly energetic spirit stones."

"Once we return, we’ll immediately send people to deliver these items."

"Mr. Lin, how should we collaborate to lure the beasts into the trap?"

"Not much is required. Just follow my orders and gather at Wanhua Valley simultaneously. Create the illusion I need, and trust that the exotic monster beasts will fall for it."

"Is there anything specific we need to watch out for?"

"There’s one key point. During the beast roundup, any monster that doesn’t resist shouldn’t be killed. Only those four exotic monster beast types that actively fight back should be eliminated. But keep this to yourselves for now; inform your subordinates only once we’re at Wanhua Valley."

"Understood..."

...

Afterward, Lin Feng began discussing the specifics with the four Family Heads, meticulously planning every step of the large-scale operation to kill the exotic monster beasts. Once all arrangements were finalized, Song Wuya, Gu Nantian, and Kong Lifeng left the Xia Family to implement their tasks back home.

The remaining three families acted swiftly. Resources such as thunder-attributed demon cores and various energy-rich spirit stones were soon delivered. Coupled with the Xia Family’s accumulated stock, setting up the Five Thunder Tribulation Formation was a breeze. After gathering the materials, Lin Feng disappeared once more...

In the blink of an eye, several more days passed. The beast tide’s attacks grew weaker by the day, thanks to Lin Feng’s strategy of conserving strength. Whenever a beast tide struck, the ancestral elders of each family would immediately take action to scare off the exotic monster beasts. The tide would retreat naturally, allowing the rest of the people to focus on recuperation and recovering their strength. Day after day, the game of cat and mouse exhausted the exotic monster beasts!

By now, the beasts were truly terrified. Previously, they acted recklessly and with impunity; now, they were terrifyingly fragile in the hands of humans. They couldn’t fathom how humans had discovered their vulnerabilities. Helpless and desperate, they felt their only hope was for the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf to return and take charge. With the wolf leading them, they might stand a chance—as long as they didn’t encounter Lin Feng, that human monster beyond comprehension, they still had a fighting chance...

The night in the Lost Forest was eerily quiet. Apart from some peculiar insect noises, not a single demon beast dared to howl. High in the sky, the bright moon hung like a white jade disk, radiating gentle light...

Suddenly, a crisp and piercing wolf howl shattered the silence!

"Awooo..."

The moment this wolf cry resounded, the exotic monster beasts in the Lost Forest became ecstatic. They rushed excitedly toward the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf’s mountain cave! When they reached the cave’s entrance, they saw the wolf standing majestically on a large boulder outside the cave, faintly glowing with white light. Its aura radiated vigor and vitality, clearly showing that it had fully recovered from its injuries. Its strength seemed even more formidable—whether it had broken through further, however, remained unknown.

"Demon King, you’re finally here! You must avenge us!"

"Demon King, many brothers have died these past few days!"

"Demon King, humanity has become far too monstrous..."

...

Looking at the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf, the exotic monster beasts nearly wept. They had been living in constant fear these past days, shaken to their very cores. Now that the wolf had reappeared, they desperately wanted it to take charge and fight back.

"What happened? What’s going on?"

The Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf looked at the exotic monster beasts before it, completely confused. It had been missing for only a short time—how had things become so miserable for them? What on earth had occurred?
