Chapter 1616 - 1599: You’re the One Who’s Crazy
"I don’t agree with this distribution plan. Mr. Lin was invited by me, so why is he not mentioned? Feng Family Patriarch, by doing this, you’re putting my Lei Family in a difficult position. How am I supposed to answer to Mr. Lin?" Lei Yan angrily rebuked Feng Shangkun. Others might fear the Feng Family, but he did not. Even if the Feng Family wanted to target the Lei Family, they’d have to consider if their arrogance matched their bite. Lin Feng was invited back by him, so he had to take responsibility for Lin Feng. The allocation plan didn’t involve Lin Feng at all, which left him no way to explain to Lin Feng.
"Patriarch of the Lei Family, no one else has any issues, why do you? As for Mr. Lin’s rewards this time, I’ll arrange them myself. I won’t let Mr. Lin be idle, I assure you of that. As for any other voices, I don’t want to hear them again. The matter is settled."
Upon hearing Lei Yan publicly opposing him, Feng Shangkun’s expression immediately changed. He looked at Lei Yan with ruthless malice and spoke. He hadn’t expected the Lei Family to be so bold in standing up for Lin Feng. Yet, in his view, it was nothing; if the Lei Family truly showed no respect, he wouldn’t hesitate to be unkind. He had already made arrangements to deal with the Lei Family, just waiting for the right time, and when that time came, the Lei Family would disappear forever.
Lei Yan felt immediate anger hearing Feng Shangkun speak to him in such a tone, his neck veins bulging, ready to confront Feng Shangkun for a proper discussion. He had brought Lin Feng back for the European Cultivation Forces Alliance, only for Lei Family and Lin Feng to be treated this way; he couldn’t swallow this insult.
But before he could speak, Lin Feng stopped him.
"Forget it, play by yourselves."
Lin Feng stood up, glanced at Feng Shangkun, and said lightly before walking outside. Regarding these people, he really didn’t know what to say. If not for the face of the Lei Family, he wouldn’t have come here. Ridiculously, the distribution swallowed his share entirely—why stay? It would be more worthwhile to accompany Ding Wan’er shopping.
Upon hearing that Lin Feng was leaving, the other small Prominent Family Heads present realized that Lin Feng was invited over. If he left, who could they rely on to win the championship? Now they had only one choice, and if the allocation was truly as proposed, Lin Feng remaining would indeed be shocking.
Why did it turn out like this?
Lei Yan sighed helplessly, unable to do anything about the outcome. The Feng Family was too domineering, and now Lin Feng was about to leave. If Lin Feng indeed left, the conference would undoubtedly fail, resulting in a loss— not just for one or two families but the entire European Cultivator Alliance’s interests!
Even at this moment, he couldn’t speak up to Lin Feng; he knew Lin Feng was very angry. If he’d known Feng Shangkun’s intentions, he would never have invited Lin Feng over—like lifting a stone only to drop it on his own foot!
But everyone remained silent, yet one spoke up.
"Lin Feng, who do you think you are, leaving after listening? Acting as if you’re a Super Powerhouse—do you even know your status! Being asked here was a courtesy, don’t refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit, and if you dare step out of this tent, don’t blame me for my unkindness!"
Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, Feng Shangkun exploded with fury, wishing to strangle Lin Feng right then and there for publicly disregarding him. Seeing Lin Feng’s attitude—a Loose Cultivator daring disrespect—clearly not taking the Feng Family seriously!
The other small Prominent Family Heads were stunned, unsure of what to do or say. The Fengs were too powerful, beyond their resistance. But with Lin Feng about to leave, they didn’t want him to go, yet Feng Shangkun had stepped up, so naturally, they wouldn’t oppose him.
Oh no, something bad’s about to happen!
Upon hearing Feng Shangkun’s words, cold sweat appeared on Lei Yan’s forehead. He knew just how terrifying Lin Feng was, having killed even the Hehuan Ancestor. What couldn’t Lin Feng do? With everyone being in the Infinitesimal Realm and without a single Divine Change Realm powerhouse present, consequences of Lin Feng’s aggression were unimaginable.
Thinking this, he rushed to Lin Feng’s side, intending to explain and calm Lin Feng down, hoping he wouldn’t erupt. Yet, before he spoke, Lin Feng waved him off, indicating silence.
"So, what do you want?" Lin Feng paused, turned to Feng Shangkun, a cold smile playing at the corner of his mouth as he asked.
"Obediently represent the European Cultivation Forces Alliance on stage for the tournament, securing a place in the top three. If you fail, not only will your compensation disappear, but we won’t mind killing you!" Staring at Lin Feng, Feng Shangkun stated coldly, his tone brooked no argument.
Actually, his forcefulness had underlying reasons. Though publicly declared that the Ancestor of Feng Family was in seclusion, the truth was different; the ancestor was present, just immersed in insight and not to be disturbed. With the ancestor in seclusion, if Lin Feng refused to cooperate, he wouldn’t hesitate to employ the ancestor to kill Lin Feng. The ancestor, now a Half-Step Human Immortal Realm, could easily kill Lin Feng, hence he wasn’t afraid of Lin Feng at all.
"Ridiculous, let me represent the European Cultivation Forces Alliance in the tournament—that’s not for you to decide," Lin Feng heard Feng Shangkun’s words, anger bubbling, replied coldly.
"Who do you think you are, deciding anything—or are you just a fool? Simply because we’re pushing you forward doesn’t mean you’re actually in charge. Frankly, you’re but a figurehead, having no authority. Over the European Cultivation Forces Alliance, I hold sovereignty!"
Upon Lin Feng’s retort, Feng Shangkun’s face frosted, yelling back at Lin Feng. His rage was evident—no one had dared defy him. If he didn’t handle Lin Feng, where would his prestige remain, how would he face the outside world as the head of the supposed top European Prominent Family?
"Originally, I considered avoiding this mess. Now, I’ve changed my mind; I’ll represent the European Cultivation Forces Alliance in this tournament. Yet, all prior decisions are nullified; I’ll decide the allocations, and rest assured, your Feng Family will receive none."
Facing Feng Shangkun, Lin Feng shook his head at the audacity this man displayed at challenging him. Since that was the case, why not dismantle the so-called Feng Family—it baffled him how such an arrogant clan endured until now.
"Hahaha... Lin Feng, aren’t you worried of cutting your tongue with such claims? You say as you please, like you’re some deity, threatening the Feng Family’s removal—utterly hilarious, you’re actually insane!"
Upon hearing Lin Feng’s statement, Feng Shangkun burst into laughter, thinking it a grand joke. The power of the Feng Family was indisputable; neither the combined force of the Lei and Yue Families would dare speak thus. This youth’s audacity—was he not a madman!
Finishing this, he glared at Lin Feng, and suddenly his aura erupted; a light green Gang Qi enveloped the entire tent and tore it to shreds. One could imagine the extent of his wrath, yet the unleashed aura stunned all other Family Heads.
Divine Change Realm!
He actually broke through!
Over thirty and into the Divine Change Realm!
...
The various Family Heads stared at Feng Shangkun, their expressions changed. You could tell at a glance he had no equal; none anticipated shurking Feng Shangkun already attained Divine Change Realm, astonishing them. No wonder his domineering strength—this was his capital!
Remember, among other families, only the ancestors of the Yue and Lei Families reached the Divine Change Realm; for smaller families, the strongest barely Half-Step Divine Change Realm. Thus, Feng Shangkun showcasing Divine Change prowess was a shock.
"Swipe!"
Ding Wan’er and others nearby shot looks toward Lin Feng’s direction, brows furrowed, unclear of events within the tent. Nonetheless, they progressed toward Lin Feng; should anything occur, they’d not remain idle.
Similarly, all within the European Cultivation Forces Alliance fixed focus on this spot, puzzled by unfolding events, sensing potential trouble brewing...
"I’m not mad, you’re the lunatic. Still plan to take action against me? Consider the consequences of such a venture?" Lin Feng eyed Feng Shangkun coldly, realizing the murderous intent. If Feng didn’t relent, Lin Feng would bear no guilt.
"You’re right; my Feng Family doesn’t tolerate anyone’s challenge. If you’re this disrespectful, fair to say I shall end you!" Feng Shangkun heard Lin Feng retort, erupting like a volcano, jerking out a short sword of deep blue, measuring about two and a half feet, emanating a dark blue glow—his leverage!
This short sword, called ’Blue Light,’ is an ancient weapon of extreme authority. Though he wields initial Divine Change power, with this weapon, he’s capable of battling late Divine Change experts. Accordingly, no fear of Lin Feng; moreover, Blue Light holds a concealed ability: it’s a poison sword. This toxin is no ordinary poison; any master touched by Blue Light would be poisoned to death, including Sword Gang strikes bearing its venom!
