Chapter 1492 - 1490: Return
"Tianzao, it seems you’ve not had enough beatings. I’ve never met someone as shameless as you in this world, seeking out beatings for yourself." Lin Feng, hearing Zheng Feng and his group chattering non-stop, found them truly irritating and directly said to Zheng Feng and his people.
Boss is just the Boss!
Xue Dakun heard Lin Feng’s words and immediately smiled, thinking these people fighting against the Boss don’t even know how they’d die. If Lin Feng can deal with these people once, he can deal with them many times. These people are just asking for trouble. If Lin Feng makes a move, he’d surely deal with them again harshly. He has witnessed Lin Feng’s strength in the forest, a power beyond ordinary imagination. Besides Lin Feng’s speed and strength, his mastery in battle is unparalleled. Even if these people have cultivated, they’re still nothing in front of Lin Feng!
"Lin Feng, what did you say?" As soon as Zheng Feng heard Lin Feng’s words, he was so furious that his face turned red, and he gritted his teeth at Lin Feng. He did not expect Lin Feng to speak so disrespectfully from the start, completely ignoring him and his brothers. How could he swallow this insult? Moreover, there were so many people around, he couldn’t allow Lin Feng to act so arrogantly here.
"What did you say?"
"Apologize to our Boss!"
"Are you asking for a beating?"
...
Not only Zheng Feng got angry, but even those buddies around him were enraged as well. Lin Feng’s words offended all of them, and they were all burning with anger, eager to rush and fight Lin Feng!
"I said you deserve a beating!" Lin Feng didn’t care at all about their anger and responded calmly. These guys were just too annoying. If they continued being unruly, he was ready to take action and teach them a good lesson, to make them behave properly.
At this moment, the other people around finally understood the grudge between Lin Feng and Zheng Feng’s group. They suddenly realized that Zheng Feng had been taught a lesson by Lin Feng before. Now Zheng Feng wanted to regain face, but Lin Feng’s mouth showed no mercy. This led to Zheng Feng and his group losing even more face instead of recovering it. Everyone looked on eagerly, hoping for a fight between Lin Feng and Zheng Feng’s group. They also wanted to see whether Lin Feng was stronger or Zheng Feng, treating it as watching a good show.
"I’m so pissed off, cripple him for me!" Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, Zheng Feng’s face turned as black as a pot bottom. He roared furiously at his friends next to him, pointing at Lin Feng. He was truly angry now. Since Lin Feng talked so viciously, he was determined to cripple Lin Feng with actions! He wanted to see what Lin Feng could say after being crippled.
Zheng Feng’s companions had long been displeased with Lin Feng. Hearing Zheng Feng’s command, Gang Qi surged instantly within them, and they prepared to rush at Lin Feng with sullen faces to beat him to death with wild punches! However, just when they were about to make a move, a cold voice suddenly rang out!
"Let’s see who dares to make a move!"
This cold voice appeared directly in everyone’s heart, causing them to shiver. Zheng Feng and the person who was about to rush at Lin Feng made an abrupt stop, almost falling to the ground. They knew very well whose voice it was—none other than the voice of the Man in Black. His strength was beyond estimation. Even with ten thousand times the courage, they wouldn’t dare make a move now.
Xue Dakun smiled immediately after hearing the voice. With the Man in Black present, Zheng Feng and his pals wouldn’t dare to make a move even if they wanted to. Watching Zheng Feng and his buddies abruptly stop was hysterically funny to Xue Dakun.
Why is he here!
How did the Man in Black get here!
Damn it, what’s going on!
...
Forcibly interrupted by the Man in Black, Zheng Feng and his group were utterly frustrated, cursing how the Man in Black chose this inconvenient time to appear. With him here, none of them dared to lay a finger on Lin Feng. They had witnessed firsthand how formidable the Man in Black was—a god-like existence—obeying him was the only option. With this realization, they could only stand there and wait for the Man in Black to arrive.
In the blink of an eye, the Man in Black appeared in everyone’s sight, walking up to Zheng Feng and his group.
"If you want a fight, you’ll have plenty of chances in the future. Let’s see who’s brave enough to start something here!" The Man in Black looked coldly at Zheng Feng’s group, his tone icy. This was not a place for reckless troublemakers, and he didn’t want them causing any unnecessary issues.
As soon as the man in black finished speaking, Xue Dakun ran to Lin Feng’s side and pulled him aside, signaling with his eyes for Lin Feng not to speak. Meanwhile, a group of people on the square looked at Zheng Feng and others, thinking to themselves that these people had tripped today, and it’s unlikely they will recover their dignity.
At this moment, Zheng Feng and the others were truly on the verge of going crazy with frustration. They wanted to deal with Lin Feng, but with the man in black present, they dared not move. Thinking about the things Lin Feng had said to them before, they all wanted to skin him and pull out his tendons. But now, they were left helpless and hopeless because they didn’t have the guts to defy any orders from the man in black.
"The hunt for the Demon Beasts will be evaluated before sunset. If anyone dares to act rashly again before then, don’t blame me for killing them!" Seeing that Zheng Feng and the others had calmed down, the man in black cast his gaze upon them, left these simple words, and then vanished once more.
From afar, watching the back of the man in black, others also dared not speak recklessly at this moment, as they all sat on the ground and began cultivating, waiting for the sunset to arrive...
In the blink of an eye, as sunset approached, the man in black appeared again. During this time, many people had returned. After a brief tally, it was found that ten people hadn’t returned, indicating that they must have lost their lives in the battle with Demon Beasts in the forest.
The man in black didn’t seem to care about this. He turned to the crowd gathered on the square and said, "Everyone, present your Demon Cores."
Hearing the command of the man in black, the people on the square quickly presented their Demon Cores. Most had handed over more than ten Demon Cores, but only six or seven people hadn’t gathered enough. The man in black grouped these people into two teams, and once everyone had handed over their cores, he finally spoke.
"I am pleased that so many of you have passed this trial. Now, let me first speak to those who didn’t hand in enough Demon Cores: you have failed this trial and will have no further opportunity for advancement. Furthermore, I will also strip you of your current abilities."
With that, the man in black suddenly unleashed several strands of deep purple Gang Qi, which struck those who had not gathered enough Demon Cores. Instantly, it seemed as if purple flames ignited on these people, causing them immense pain. However, this process lasted less than a minute before the man in black retracted the deep purple Gang Qi, and the purple flames on these individuals subsided.
This scene left the others stunned; no one understood what the man in black was doing. Weren’t these people already cultivating? Could it be that the man in black had abolished their powers?
In fact, it was just as they thought. After the purple flames subsided, all these people knelt on the ground, looking utterly dejected, because they realized the power they once had was gone. There was no doubt that the man in black had abolished all the results of their cultivation during these days, reducing them to ordinary people with some special abilities. Although they resented the man in black, none dared to speak, fearing that if they did, the man in black might actually kill them.
After dealing with these people, the man in black addressed the remaining crowd: "You can now go home and do whatever you wish. You have now ascended above ordinary people, becoming true masters beyond the imagination of commonfolk. I hope you use your abilities for justice, to uphold good, fight evil, and always keep a chivalrous heart. After you have trained yourselves in the Secular World for a period, and passed our evaluations, we will once again gather you together to become true Super Powerhouses, like myself!"
Though his words were few, they resonated with a sense of justice and wrapped up with a hint of allure, instantly exciting everyone present!
"We will definitely do so!"
"Rest assured, we will definitely uphold good and fight evil!"
"We will definitely punish those wrongdoers!"
...
Everyone spoke with boundless excitement. They were so happy they didn’t know what to say anymore. With this experience, they had all truly become masters. Doing those tasks to uphold good and fight evil would now be much easier for them. They all aspired to become revered heroes!
"Alright, I hope you can all achieve that. Now, I’ll lead you back to the Secular World." The man in black nodded after hearing their declarations, said a simple sentence, and led everyone out of the Secret Realm.
They reappeared in the same valley, only now there were seven or eight helicopters parked there. The group divided according to their cities and boarded the helicopters, then departed to return to their respective metropolises...
Lin Feng, naturally, returned to Qinghong City with Xue Dakun and others. It had been more than half a month since they had been home, and with no contact, the first thing everyone did after getting off the helicopter was hurry home. On the helicopter, everyone exchanged phone numbers and agreed to meet up properly the next day.
Lin Feng took the opportunity to return to Tianhai. These two cities were not far apart, and as soon as Ding Wan’er and others saw Lin Feng, they surrounded him, eager to know what had happened during this time and why there was no news from him.
In response to everyone’s inquiries, Lin Feng patiently recounted the events of the past few days, making everyone understand why so many people with special abilities had suddenly emerged. However, they had not anticipated that these people with special abilities had been gathered, clearly indicating an issue.
