Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 1399 - 1397: Hurrying on the Road

Chapter 1397: On the Road

"Lin Feng, how dare you hit my people!"

A few figures shot over from not far away, leading them was Su Zhong. Su Zhong’s face looked extremely unpleasant; he hadn’t expected Lin Feng to attack Gu Ri. He brought Gu Ri here, so Lin Feng hitting Gu Ri was like hitting his face. How could he stand for that!

Su Zhong stared at Lin Feng while Su Qi and others rushed to Gu Ri, helping him up from a pile of shattered wood. Gu Ri’s mouth was now bleeding, and his clothes were in tatters, evidently severely injured, instantly angering these people as they all turned their eyes to Lin Feng, curious about how he would resolve this situation.

Meanwhile, Xia Lalan and her group also arrived, gathering together with Chen Qing and others. They too focused their gaze on Lin Feng, wanting to know how he would deal with Su Zhong. But none of them worried for Lin Feng, seeing how easily Gu Ri was severely injured, even if Su Zhong and others acted together, what could they do? Moreover, there were four Human Immortal Realm powerhouses including Xia Guangze here, if they fought, they would absolutely not lose!

Lin Feng glanced at Su Zhong not far away, casually tossing the Stone Spirit Buddha Hand in his hand to Chen Qing, then spoke to Su Zhong: "So what if I hit him? I told him to let go, he didn’t, he deserved it."

Actually, Lin Feng hadn’t initially intended to attack Gu Ri. Gu Ri insisted on acting pompous in front of him; as a Human Immortal Realm middle stage powerhouse, bullying some cultivators from the Hidden World was inherently wrong, so when warnings failed, Lin Feng taught Gu Ri a lesson.

Su Zhong couldn’t believe Lin Feng would say such a thing, instantly enraging him to the point of his lungs nearly exploding, yelling furiously at Lin Feng: "Do you really think you’re invincible? He’s my man, aren’t you afraid of our revenge for attacking him?"

Su Zhong was exceedingly frustrated; if anyone else said this, he would have already disabled them, but facing Lin Feng, who even Wang Batian couldn’t handle, there’s no way he could be Lin Feng’s match. Even gathering everyone here to battle Lin Feng wouldn’t give him any confidence, now he can only rely on his words for some dignity.

"If you want to fight, just fight; I’m ready anytime. If not, hurry up and leave." Lin Feng didn’t respond to Su Zhong but directly diverted the topic; he indeed didn’t want to fight, but if Su Zhong and others were clueless, he wouldn’t be polite.

Lin Feng’s words nearly made Su Zhong faint from anger, even the injured Gu Ri and others on the ground were furious, wishing to rush and fight Lin Feng, but none acted rashly. Although they hadn’t fought Lin Feng before, they knew his prowess, and attacking recklessly could be extremely dangerous; what about exploring the Heavenly Immortal Mansion Ruins afterwards?

Su Zhong naturally understood what was on everyone’s minds, feeling extremely frustrated himself, opened his mouth facing Lin Feng, but ultimately couldn’t say a word. His words were truly stifling; they had no assurance of defeating Lin Feng; had they any, they would’ve acted long ago!

Nevertheless, they couldn’t lose face; thinking of this, he forced himself to act calm, snorted coldly at Lin Feng, and said disdainfully: "Lin Feng, don’t be too arrogant. Relying on your strong power doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want. Be careful in the future, don’t fall into my hands, or don’t blame me for being rude!"

After saying this, without waiting for Lin Feng’s response, his figure flickered and appeared around Gu Ri, readying to leave with his people.

Seeing Su Zhong and others beaten down, wanting to leave while saying such words, Lin Feng laughed, loudly addressing their departing silhouettes: "Actually, I should say this to you. Though these cultivators are weaker, you shouldn’t rob them. If I encounter this next time, it won’t just be an injury!"

Su Zhong and his group hadn’t expected Lin Feng to say that, nearly stumbling with rage. Such fury; if not for encountering Lin Feng, this damned guy, how could they be in this situation today! What’s wrong with robbery, isn’t the survival of the fittest their world’s principle? Those cultivators were so weak, leaving those good things with them had no use, why should they have them!

But now, with Lin Feng protecting those people and speaking so to them, even in anger, they couldn’t counter-argue, making their faces turn ashen like a pot bottom, suppressing their inner rage and hastening their departure...

After Su Zhong and others left, Chen Qing and others finally had time to speak with Lin Feng.

"Thank you!"

"Thank you so much; without you, we definitely would have been robbed today!"

"How can we properly thank you now!"

...

Looking at Lin Feng, Chen Qing and others continuously expressed their gratitude. The Stone Spirit Buddha Hand was something that even someone like Gu Ri, a Human Immortal Realm Powerhouse, coveted, yet after Lin Feng snatched it back, he tossed it to them without even a glance. Only Lin Feng seemed indifferent to this item. If Lin Feng hadn’t been there today, the Stone Spirit Buddha Hand would certainly have been gone, as those people wouldn’t have returned it to them. Thinking of this, each of them was filled with excitement, profoundly grateful to Lin Feng in their hearts.

"No need to thank me, it’s a small matter. You all need to be careful. We’re leaving."

Lin Feng heard the crowd saying this and shook his head, replying casually. After speaking, he promptly led Xia Lalan and others away. In truth, he could have taken these people with him, but he chose not to. Everyone has their own opportunities and destinies. This place, while dangerous, holds both risks and possibilities. If they lack the courage to face ordinary dangers, then what is the point of cultivation?

Chen Qing and the others stood still, watching Lin Feng and his group leave, feeling a unique sense arising in their hearts. Lin Feng, as a Super Powerhouse, could take such a detached view of everything. This attitude is truly not something that ordinary people can achieve. Furthermore, Lin Feng seemed under twenty years old. Compared to him, they felt truly ashamed...

"Let’s go as well."

"I hope we can hold out!"

"Let’s be more cautious from now on, so nothing like before happens again."

...

Chen Qing and the others were left with no choice but to utter a few words of helplessness, simply dividing the Stone Spirit Buddha Hand among themselves, and then departing together. There were just too many dangers in this forest, forcing them to band together, move forward with caution and vigilance, as only thus could they assure their safety.

Time flew by, and about half a month passed. In the blink of an eye, it had been nearly four months since they entered this forest. Despite many gains, the people following Lin Feng looked at the endless forest, and none could say when they would reach the end. Naturally, an indescribable sense of crisis arose within everyone’s hearts; they were genuinely afraid they would never walk out of this forest.

"Mr. Lin, we’ve been here for such a long time, why can’t we get out? When will this end? There are still many matters waiting for us in the Sect outside!" Xia Guangze, unable to hold back, remarked to Lin Feng. It had been four months since they entered the Heavenly Immortal Mansion Ruins, and the Sect was awaiting their report. If they were trapped here for too long, the Sect would certainly become anxious!

"Yeah, brother-in-law, I also find this strange. We’ve been inside for such a long time now, yet we can’t seem to get out. My sister and the others must be worried about us." Leng Hao also couldn’t hold back after hearing Xia Guangze, and he voiced his concern to Lin Feng, feeling somewhat anxious for a while now, fearing they would delay too long and make Leng Mei and the family anxious.

When others heard Xia Guangze and Leng Hao speak, they also nodded repeatedly, showing troubled expressions. In truth, they already had such concerns in their hearts; they just kept quiet about them, suppressing their worries amidst the lengthy delays in this place. They hoped Lin Feng could swiftly lead them to find the inheritance ground so they could leave the Heavenly Immortal Mansion Ruins.

Lin Feng, upon hearing Xia Guangze and Leng Hao’s concerns, and seeing the expressions of the crowd, naturally understood their worries. With a faint smile, he spoke to them: "You don’t need to worry about time; you will understand once you get out. As for why we haven’t walked out yet, it’s not because we took the wrong path, but because this place is truly immense. I estimate that we’ll be able to exit soon. Rest assured."

Actually, Lin Feng was already aware that the time flow here was much faster than outside, but the rest of the group hadn’t perceived it yet. Hence, he wasn’t concerned about the time, though he didn’t plan to let them know this; everyone would naturally understand once they exited the Heavenly Immortal Mansion Ruins.

Moreover, the most vital point was that Lin Feng had already realized this forest was definitely akin to a miniature world. Under the deliberate arrangement of Yuanxu Heavenly Immortal, this mini-world was elongated, meaning they certainly would reach the end eventually. Hence, he wasn’t worried at all.

After speaking, Lin Feng promptly turned and continued walking forward. Though the crowd remained puzzled after hearing his words and couldn’t grasp his meaning, as Lin Feng had already moved on, they had to temporarily abandon such thoughts and follow him.

Time flew by, days gave way to nights, and in the blink of an eye, another ten days had passed.

Having entered the forest for more than four months already, during this extensive period, the group had encountered numerous daunting Demon Beasts beyond description. Though this forest contained many superb Spiritual Medicines, terrifyingly powerful Demon Beasts corresponded with these. Thus, outside of Lin Feng’s group obtaining some gains, other areas of harvest were pitiably thin.

More deadly was the fact that, the deeper they ventured into the forest, the more formidable the Demon Beasts they encountered became. Wang Batian, relying on his formidable strength and an abundant supply of Elixirs, managed to preserve his life, while Su Zhong’s side saw several fatalities. It wasn’t due to carelessness; it was just the Demon Beasts were overwhelmingly powerful.

As for the cultivators from the Hidden World, their situation was the most tragic. Although many Demon Beasts were cleared by numerous Human Immortal Realm Powerhouses ahead, the ones that slipped through attacked them wildly, leaving these cultivators quite desperate, forcing them to use all life-saving methods. Despite this, their numbers dwindled to around twenty individuals, and among them were several heavily injured, illustrating how dire their circumstances were.
