Chapter 1357: Could Such a Thing Actually Happen?
"No need to thank me. I’ll handle things here, and then we’ll set off." Lin Feng waved at the two of them and said calmly. After speaking, he immediately used his divine sense to notify Xia Lalan to come and return to the Secular World with them. He also arranged things with the Patriarch Xia Yuntian and Song Family Patriarch Song Wuya, and even made related plans for Xia Yan and Song Hong, the two ancestors.
The reason he did not inform Liao Chen and the others was that Lin Feng did not plan to return directly to Tianhai City. These people had already been entrusted to Xia Yuntian, who would send them back to Tianhai, thereby avoiding some trouble.
The children were happily chatting away about what they would do upon returning to the Secular World, overjoyed. Nearby, Xia Chupeng and Song Liao were observing without saying much, and soon, Xia Lalan appeared before everyone.
"Lin Feng, are we heading back to the Secular World?" Xia Lalan asked Lin Feng with a smile. In fact, she had expected Lin Feng to return to the Secular World, but she did not expect it to be so soon.
"Yes, things here have come to an end; it’s time to go back." Lin Feng smiled at Xia Lalan.
Xia Lalan nodded at Lin Feng. Since they were heading back, then they should go. Moreover, she had already dealt with her matters here. But when she saw Xia Chupeng and Song Liao, she was stunned to see them here too and quietly asked Lin Feng, "Are... are these two coming with us to the Secular World?"
"They want to go themselves, so let them." Lin Feng smiled at Xia Lalan, finding it amusing but did not laugh aloud. Xia Chupeng and Song Liao were, after all, middle-stage experts of the Human Immortal Realm, though he did not take them seriously; to Xia Lalan, they still held a high status, so it was normal for her to feel some intimidation.
"Miss Lanlan, don’t mind us. Just treat us as ordinary people."
"Chupeng is right. We’re not familiar with anything here, so there’s no need to be formal with us."
Seeing Xia Lalan’s demeanor, both Xia Chupeng and Song Liao felt speechless and said apologetically that they would be following Lin Feng all the way. If they didn’t get along, wouldn’t the atmosphere be awkward?
Upon hearing them speak this way, Xia Lalan breathed a sigh of relief, her face breaking into a smile again, while Lin Feng then called everyone to leave.
Returning to the Secular World wasn’t urgent, so to let the children gain experience, they didn’t immediately let the two Great Demon Immortals carry them away. Instead, they chose to walk through the forest. Xia Chupeng and Song Liao didn’t initially understand why Lin Feng did this until the children began slaying different demon beasts in the forest, at which point they realized the wisdom of Lin Feng’s arrangements.
At first, they didn’t pay much attention, but unexpectedly, as they ventured deeper into the forest, the demon beasts’ levels also increased. The children were still able to slay the beasts, and what shocked them even more was that these children could individually slay demon beasts one rank higher. Witnessing such scenes made even these two prodigies of their sects unable to keep their inner calm!
What kind of children are these!
This... it’s too monstrous!
Seeing the children in this state, Xia Chupeng and Song Liao were utterly astounded by the strength displayed by the children. They had already been shocked by the children’s power before, but now they realized they had underestimated them. Each of the thirty-plus children had extraordinary rank-challenging abilities, which was simply outrageous and unbelievable!
It’s worth knowing that the strength of same-level demon beasts is already stronger than humans; only those with exceptional prowess can defeat same-level demon beasts. Yet, these children could slay demon beasts one rank higher, which was incredibly monstrous, even compared to the children trained within their sect, none could achieve this. To see such heaven-defying strength emerge among the children of Earth left them speechless.
In fact, in their minds, a comparison arose: if these children were brought back to their sect, they believed that none of the sect’s children could rival them. Thinking about this made their faces change, pondering how Lin Feng managed to train such monstrous children, leaving them utterly baffled!
However, witnessing the wild training scenes of the children outdoors, they finally grasped why the children possessed such strength, realizing the training at the Xia Family was child’s play in comparison. The children’s prior training was merely a facade; now was when they saw the true essence of the children’s training!
Carrying stones multiple times their body weight while sprinting, not one child fell behind, until some couldn’t bear it and fainted, only to be kicked awake by their peers and continue sprinting with heavy stones. It was only when everyone could no longer proceed that they were allowed a brief rest, and even during the break, the children wasted no time, crazily absorbing spiritual energy, enhancing their strength.
There were times when, in order to train their speed, the children would provoke demon beasts two levels higher than them. Facing deadly danger, these children erupted with unprecedented speed. And only when they were utterly exhausted would they turn around and, in a weary stance, work together to kill the demon beasts! After killing the demon beasts, these children would still crazily cultivate, resting and recovering Tili through cultivation.
In this way, along the journey, the children were always in a cycle, almost shocking Xia Chupeng and Song Liao to the point of dropping their jaws. Originally, they thought the methods of training within the Sect were already excruciatingly painful, but they never expected these children, just a little over ten years old, to endure such hellish torture. And they must know that the current training load of the children was already much stronger than the Sect’s, even several times the Sect’s training load. They really couldn’t comprehend how the children managed to persist.
At this moment, their evaluation of Lin Feng instantly rose to a new height, thinking that maybe only Lin Feng could train such abnormal and defying disciples. Otherwise, if someone else were the teacher, no one could match Lin Feng, and perhaps these children would have overturned the heavens long ago...
......
While Lin Feng and the others were traversing the forest, on the other side, in the Kong Family’s Council Hall, eight Immortals who had been transmitted were sitting together discussing matters, along with Gu Nantian and Kong Lifeng, only these ten people.
"Gu Nantian, Kong Lifeng, you two are the people from Earth here. How is the investigation of the matter I asked you to look into two days ago coming along?" Su Zhong asked Gu Nantian and Kong Lifeng first.
"To Upper Immortal, right now the Secular World is chaotic to death. What you asked us to investigate, we really have no clue at all. The Spiritual Energy within the Secular World is already disordered, truly untraceable." Upon hearing Su Zhong’s question, Kong Lifeng immediately rose to answer. It wasn’t that he wasn’t diligent, but now the Secular World was already chaotic, everywhere filled with the anomalies Su Zhong spoke of, there really was no way to explain.
"To Upper Immortal, our Gu Family’s channels are the same. Over on the Secular World side everywhere is plagued with natural disasters, and it’s the same worldwide." Gu Nantian added a sentence from the side, indicating the situation on the Secular World side was indeed like that, beyond anyone’s control.
"What? Such a thing is happening?" Su Zhong, hearing their words, said with a frown, not expecting such a result. He thought it too coincidental. He had just sent these two people to the Secular World to investigate the anomalies to confirm the location of the Heavenly Immortal Mansion Ruins, yet at this critical juncture, the Secular World suddenly became chaotic. With this situation, how could he determine the location of the Heavenly Immortal Mansion Ruins?
The other people present now all directed their gaze towards Gu Nantian and Kong Lifeng, doubling the pressure on them, so much so that they were almost unable to breathe. Terrified, they dared not remain seated and immediately stood up from their chairs.
"To Upper Immortal, we truly are not lying."
"To Upper Immortal, how dare we lie before everyone? The facts are indeed like this."
Gu Nantian and Kong Lifeng anxiously explained, truly having no choice. Under such conditions, strongly disturbed by Spiritual Energy, everywhere was the same. They simply couldn’t determine the location of the said ruins by Su Zhong.
"I don’t care what methods you use, you must find it for me, otherwise don’t blame us for being unkind." Su Zhong, observing their state, knew they weren’t lying. Yet he still coldly said, not having expected the precursor to the emergence of the Heavenly Immortal Mansion Ruins to be so significant. Such a situation might complicate the exploration of the Mansion Ruins, but regardless, the location must be determined. This time, coming to Earth, the Sect Master instructed him that the exploration of the Heavenly Immortal Mansion must not have errors!
"To Upper Immortal, we will definitely do our utmost!"
"To Upper Immortal, we will definitely do our utmost!"
Seeing Su Zhong angry, Gu Nantian and Kong Lifeng immediately cupped their fists in response. But inside their hearts, the frustration was tangible. If they had known the Immortals coming down were like this, they wouldn’t have cooperated with Su Qi no matter what. Now, a pit had been dug and they were buried. The Secular World was already in such chaos; even wanting to confirm the location became extremely hard. However, Su Zhong’s words had already been said; no matter how difficult, they must achieve it, else the consequences would be unimaginable.
After speaking, the two immediately bid farewell to arrange the investigation of the Heavenly Immortal Mansion Ruins’ location. Once the two left, the eight in the room began chatting again.
"Senior Brother, I feel this Lin Feng is not ordinary. Maybe he knows the location of the Heavenly Immortal Mansion Ruins." Su Qi, looking at Su Zhong, voiced her suspicion. Actually, it was merely a gut feeling, mostly hoping her Senior Brother would confront Lin Feng, as vengeance for the day’s feud.
"Junior Sister, the primary reason for our coming here this time is the Heavenly Immortal Mansion. Everything else is trivial. If we want to deal with Lin Feng, we can wait until we’ve explored the Heavenly Immortal Mansion. It’ll not be too late then, and I, your Senior Brother, will personally handle him." Watching Su Qi, Su Zhong saw through her plans. But the focus now was the Heavenly Immortal Mansion. This was the Sect’s assignment; any actions must wait until this task is complete.
Su Qi, hearing Su Zhong say this, was at a loss for words, as it was all speculation. However, the others began to speak.
