Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 1501 - 1499: So That’s How It Is

"Was it you who killed Zheng Feng?" The man in black stared at Lin Feng, coldly asking, his voice brimming with murderous intent. He was infuriated now; Lin Feng had killed Zheng Feng, which represented his negligence. After all, there were only so many of them, and losing one was a serious matter. If people from above pursued this, he would also face difficulties. So as soon as he saw Zheng Feng’s soul tablet shattering, he immediately came over to investigate.

Lin Feng looked at the man in black, and a sudden, intense killing intent erupted from him. The air around him stirred autonomously, and the strong killing intent pounced toward the man in black as if it were tangible. It seemed as though the temperature dropped by several degrees in an instant. Xue Dakun, standing nearby, felt goosebumps all over, not understanding what Lin Feng intended to do—did Lin Feng plan to attack the man in black?

"Yes, I killed him. So what?" Lin Feng stared at the man in black and replied coldly.

The air seemed to turn icy. The intense killing intent reached such an extreme that even the man in black felt a trace of vigilance. His eyes suddenly lit up, and his formerly icy attitude instantly shifted. He scrutinized Lin Feng up and down and, sensing Lin Feng’s formidable murderous intent, nodded with satisfaction.

"Very well, kill if you must. The path of cultivation is inherently a defiance of heaven—survival of the fittest is perfectly normal. That you possess this power now pleases me greatly." The man in black smiled as he looked at Lin Feng. He was exceedingly satisfied with Lin Feng’s current state. Such a killing atmosphere indicated that Lin Feng had killed many people during this period, exactly what he wanted. Since Lin Feng was now stronger than Zheng Feng, there was no need to pursue the matter further.

What’s going on here?

This scene left Xue Dakun utterly bewildered. He couldn’t comprehend what was happening, wondering what were Lin Feng and the man in black up to; he couldn’t grasp a single word.

Yet Lin Feng maintained the same expression, his formidable killing intent showing no signs of diminishing, simply standing there, waiting for the man in black’s next words. The area around the three of them had plunged into a deathly silence, terrifying in its stillness!

"I’m here this time also for another matter. Ten days later, gather at the previous villa. I will then take you to another place. If you can receive guidance from those people, you will certainly become unimaginable beings in the future."

After a brief silence, the man in black finally spoke. He was increasingly satisfied with Lin Feng. How much time had passed, and already someone had grown to such an extent. This delighted him greatly. The task assigned by the Sect was about to be completed, and he might be able to conclude this tedious mission.

"Alright, we’ll both go then." Lin Feng responded calmly to the man in black, showing no hint of surprise, his expression seemingly still steeped in anger, exuding a chilling aura.

The man in black, sensing Lin Feng’s demeanor, beamed with an even more dazzling smile. The less control over his emotions, the more pleased he was. It indicated Lin Feng had reached a significantly high level of power, far surpassing Zheng Feng, and he favored the current Lin Feng over the latter.

With that thought, he suddenly pulled a bank card from his pocket and tossed it to Lin Feng, smiling as he said, "This trip might last many days. This card has 500,000 in cash, make arrangements for your families accordingly."

After finishing, he turned and left, while Lin Feng and Xue Dakun remained standing there, waiting until the man in black completely disappeared before Lin Feng finally sighed in relief, withdrawing his killing intent. By this time, Xue Dakun, who was nearly frozen into an icicle, could no longer suppress his curiosity.

"Boss, why did you act like that just now, did you intend to kill that man in black?" Xue Dakun looked at Lin Feng and couldn’t withhold his curiosity, opening his mouth to ask. He really wanted to know what happened, curious about why Lin Feng emitted such a thick killing intent. Standing on the side, he felt the piercing cold and wondered if Lin Feng really harbored a killing intent to eliminate the man in black?

"No, I was merely verifying my thoughts." Lin Feng looked at Xue Dakun and said calmly.

"Verifying?" Xue Dakun was even more baffled by Lin Feng’s words; he just couldn’t understand what Lin Feng meant by verifying.

"Dakun, have you ever considered something? Zheng Feng turned so violent; what state would others be in now? Apparently, the man in black had anticipated such a situation. Why didn’t he stop it? The only reason is he now needs people with a brutal aura, and the heavier the killing intent, the better. So I acted that way deliberately to avoid suspicion from the man in black."

Lin Feng patiently explained now, becoming increasingly curious about the power behind the man in black. They needed people with a brutal killing aura—what kind of organization was this? Lin Feng even thought over all known forces but couldn’t find one meeting this criterion. However, one thing was certain now: the force behind the man in black was by no means typical, and its purpose likely wasn’t aiding Xue Dakun and others in enhancing their powers, having some ulterior motive.

Yet, Lin Feng couldn’t guess what exactly the man’s purpose was, even a bit confused at this point. To root out this tumor, he must wait—wait until they meet the people the man in black spoke of, and only then can everything be decided.

"So that’s how it is..."

At this moment, Xue Dakun suddenly realized, finally understanding what Lin Feng meant. It turned out Lin Feng was pretending, ensuring the man in black wouldn’t suspect them. However, now he also grew fearful of the organization behind the man in black. Intuition told him there must be some unspeakable deeds behind that force, otherwise, why would they need bloodthirsty individuals?

Oh no!

Suddenly, Xue Dakun remembered something. When they left the Secret Realm, dozens of them were there. Counting those who had already left in previous batches, there might be over a hundred around the coastal area. If all these people became like Zheng Feng, what chaos would erupt in the city—it’s unimaginable!

In that instant, Xue Dakun was truly scared. The thought of so many people going out of control instilled fear in him, causing him to even doubt whether the ultimate purpose of the man in black’s power boost was ******...

"It’s getting late, let’s find a place to rest; there’s so much money here, no need to waste it." Lin Feng saw Xue Dakun in a daze and knew what he might be thinking, straightforwardly suggesting to find a place to rest. He wanted to ponder the true purpose of these men in black as he had the feeling all these events were interconnected, though some pieces still couldn’t fit together, requiring a quiet place to think.

"Right, Boss, let’s go, I know which hotel is good." Initially, Xue Dakun planned to take Lin Feng home to rest, but upon seeing the bank card in Lin Feng’s hand, he remembered there were 500,000 at their disposal. It seemed inappropriate to take Lin Feng home to his humble abode; hence, finding a good hotel seemed a better option.

After he said this, Xue Dakun immediately took the lead, and both he and Lin Feng vanished into the night...

The next morning, as the sun shone brightly, Lin Feng and Xue Dakun left the hotel, suddenly clueless about what to do. Lin Feng casually asked, "Dakun, what’s your goal? If you had money, what would you do?"

Xue Dakun was momentarily taken aback by Lin Feng’s question, but after a pause, he replied, "If I had money, I’d surely buy some things for the family, get my sister a computer, and then gather with classmates. As for other things, there seems to be nothing else."

Xue Dakun was inherently a genuine person, not much enamored by money, harboring no greed; as long as there was enough, it sufficed. Regarding other matters, he genuinely hadn’t pondered much.

"That’s easily done. I have money on hand, just received so much yesterday; let’s fulfill your wishes now." Hearing Xue Dakun’s wishlist, Lin Feng nodded and then smiled at Xue Dakun. Money wasn’t an issue for him; as long as Xue Dakun was happy, it was all that mattered.

"Really? That’s great! Come on, Boss, let’s go and buy some things now." Remembering the transaction of 500,000 yesterday, Xue Dakun joyfully exclaimed, grabbing Lin Feng to go shopping. As a mere student with modest means, being able to purchase some things for the family delighted him truly.

"Sure." Seeing Xue Dakun so delighted, Lin Feng also smiled, recognizing that Xue Dakun indeed seemed to be a decent person, one he genuinely liked.

The two of them then left the hotel, hopped into a cab, and headed towards the commercial district...

Sitting in the cab, Xue Dakun was still contemplating what to buy for his family when suddenly he heard Lin Feng’s voice in his mind, rendering him temporarily flustered.

"Don’t move, pretend like normal, behave as you usually would. We’re being surveilled by the man in black. From now on, act as if nothing happened, and that you are unaware of my identity; otherwise, we’ll both be exposed."

Upon hearing Lin Feng’s instruction, Xue Dakun immediately understood how to proceed, realizing he needed to maintain normalcy, and smilingly said to Lin Feng, "Boss, I want to get our family a big TV, a double-door fridge, and a water heater. It’s really inconvenient to bathe at home."

Xue Dakun didn’t show any signs of unease on his face, understanding the gravity of the situation and why they needed to be discreet. He feared making any slip-up as the man in black could be lurking anywhere, which might ruin Lin Feng’s important affairs.

"No problem, let’s go buy them, get whatever you like!" Lin Feng responded with a smile, recognizing that Xue Dakun held strong family values, a rarity these days. He wanted to do exactly what would make Xue Dakun happy, knowing that only after going through those experiences would everything become clear.

Afterwards, the two left the hotel, caught a taxi, and headed to the commercial district...
