Chapter 1618 - 1601: Establishing Authority (Another Outbreak)
"The two of you, go to the mountaintop thirty-two kilometers northwest and kill that old relic," Lin Feng instructed the two Great Demons. From Feng Shangkun’s demeanor, he had vaguely deduced something. Why was Feng Shangkun so assertive? He must have had some reliance, so the one that Feng Shangkun was relying on should be the Ancestor of the Feng Family. Therefore, Lin Feng opened his Divine Sense when he had the chance, and finally, on the mountaintop more than thirty kilometers to the northwest, he discovered an elder at the Half-Step Human Immortal Realm. Moreover, the crucial part was that the aura of this elder was identical to Feng Shangkun’s. Who else could it be but the Ancestor of the Feng Family?
Since action had already been taken, Lin Feng naturally wouldn’t hold back. To cut the weeds, the roots must be removed. He never had the habit of leaving hidden dangers. Therefore, he ordered the two Great Demons to slaughter the Ancestor of the Feng Family. Once Feng Shangkun and the Ancestor were dead, the Feng Family would be truly obliterated.
"Yes, Boss, just watch us. Do you need any parts to be brought back? If not, Old Black and I will reduce him to ashes!" The Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon said to Lin Feng. It held no goodwill towards these people either. Being so arrogant in front of Lin Feng was simply seeking death.
"Boss, I’m off." The Dark Flame Sky-Burning Tiger didn’t say much at this time. With a turn of its body, a shadow vanished from its original spot. It was just an old guy, no need for the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon to take action. It could handle it easily by itself. It wasn’t as verbose as the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon. As the boss said, kill them, and that’s it.
The Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon felt speechless seeing the Dark Flame Sky-Burning Tiger rush off. Although it was enough for the Dark Flame Sky-Burning Tiger to kill, it couldn’t lag behind when it came to things entrusted by the boss. Without time to speak with Lin Feng further, it turned into a blue light and pursued.
After the two Great Demons left, the members of the Prominent Families present finally breathed a sigh of relief. Under such pressure, they were already on the brink of suffocation. Those who hadn’t seen the two Great Demons simply couldn’t fathom such fear. At this point, they all turned their gaze towards Lin Feng, wanting to know how Lin Feng would deal with Feng Shangkun.
"Do you have anything else to say?" Lin Feng asked Feng Shangkun calmly. As he finished speaking, Feng Shangkun collapsed onto the ground.
"I... have nothing to say." Feng Shangkun looked at Lin Feng, opened his mouth, and finally said helplessly. He truly had nothing more to say. The winner becomes the king, the loser the villain. Moreover, the difference between him and Lin Feng was worlds apart. Everything was his own doing, so how could he blame anyone else?
After speaking, a hint of gray whiteness covered Feng Shangkun’s eyes. Now, all the elites of the Feng Family were dead, and even the ancestor could not survive. The Feng Family was utterly destroyed. As the Family Head, he pushed the Feng Family into an abyss. How could he have the face to live in this world?
With that thought, Feng Shangkun said nothing more and placed his right hand on his forehead. A faint azure Gang Qi flashed, and he fell to the ground, forever losing his breath...
Lin Feng then turned to look at the Family Heads of the European Cultivation Forces Alliance and asked calmly, "The true Cultivation World is this cruel. It’s either you die, or I live; there’s nothing more to say. The Feng Family has completely disappeared. So, regarding this matter, I will make the decisions. Does anyone have anything to say?"
"No... no!"
"Mr. Lin, we’ll do whatever you say!"
"You... you arrange everything, and we’ll have no objections at all!"
...
Upon hearing Lin Feng speak like this, all the Family Heads were instantly terrified, kneeling on the ground and nervously addressing Lin Feng. What a joke! The Feng Family was obliterated in the blink of an eye at Lin Feng’s hand. If they still wanted to say anything, it would mean courting death. Such a thing was impossible for them to do. Now, as long as they could save their lives, they didn’t care about anything else.
Even Lei Yan, the Head of the Lei Family, was utterly shocked by such an extremely domineering method of Lin Feng. Only now did he realize how wise it was not to have had any conflict with Lin Feng previously. If the Lei Family had dealt with Lin Feng like the Feng Family, the Lei Family might already be gone!
Looking at Lin Feng, a sense of reverence rose within him. This incident shocked him too much, and he finally understood what kind of existence Lin Feng represented, an existence they couldn’t even aspire to reach. He was now determined to build a good relationship with Lin Feng. If he could rely on Lin Feng, then the Lei Family could truly be safe and secure in the future...
"Now I announce a few matters. First, each Prominent Family will have a share to enter the new world, but not many. Second, from now on, I don’t want to hear anything I don’t want to hear. Third..." Seeing everyone was being obedient, Lin Feng calmly laid down some rules. With the previous events as a lesson, these families should know what to do. He needn’t worry about that.
"We’ll follow Mr. Lin’s instructions."
"We’ll follow Mr. Lin’s instructions!"
...
Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, everyone immediately expressed their position. Now, Lin Feng had already amazed them with absolute strength. Even if given a million opportunities, they wouldn’t dare think otherwise. Lin Feng’s word was their command. Besides, Lin Feng already mentioned they would get a share. Even if it was just one, they were grateful.
Seeing everyone express their stance, Lin Feng nodded his head and then said to everyone, "Clean this place up. For now, leave matters here in the charge of the Head of the Lei Family. Just wait for my message."
After speaking, Lin Feng left with Ding Wan’er and others under everyone’s gaze. The incident had come to an end. Lei Yan would naturally handle everything, and he had also secured his role in entering the small world. Although his methods were a bit bloody, he couldn’t be blamed. Who told Feng Shangkun to jump out and court death?
"Follow Mr. Lin’s arrangements. Gather the bodies and burn them, and we’ll discuss the follow-up arrangements afterward," Lei Yan said, watching Lin Feng and the others leave. He immediately ordered others to hurry up with the related matters. He also began to think about why Lin Feng had temporarily put him in charge here.
The scale of this incident was simply too huge...
Yue Feng watched the silhouette of Lin Feng disappearing, and cold sweat had long dripped down his back. He hadn’t expected Lin Feng to be such a domineering Super Powerhouse. Grateful that he had no conflicts with Lin Feng in the past, otherwise, the Yue Family might have met the same fate as the Feng Family. Thinking of this, fear crept into his heart, and cold sweat ran down his face like rain.
He also secretly decided on the future attitude of the Yue Family. They must be absolutely respectful to Lin Feng, more respectful than ever. He didn’t want the Yue Family to become the next Feng Family...
The other heads of smaller families realized the great situation was set and neither had the guts nor ability to create any commotion. They had to follow Lei Yan’s instructions to gather the bodies. While doing so, however, they all felt a sense of sorrow and desolation. The prestigious Feng Family had disappeared just like that. If they, as smaller families, didn’t keep a low profile, who knows how they might end, as the ruthlessness of the Cultivation World allows the powerful to act at will...
...
"Lin Feng, today you seem a bit different. Why suddenly decide to kill so many people?" Walking on the road, Ding Wan’er asked as she looked at Lin Feng. It indeed appeared that something was different with Lin Feng today. Since Feng Shangkun had already made a move against Lin Feng, it was only natural for Lin Feng to kill Feng Shangkun. But to then completely wipe out the Feng Family and not spare even the opposing family’s ancestor, this didn’t seem like Lin Feng’s style.
"Indeed, I also felt the same. Your killing intent is heavier today," Leng Mei added beside her. She wouldn’t object to killing, but the thing was: why did Lin Feng make the decision to annihilate a family, which seemed a bit excessive compared to his usual approach of dealing with individuals rather than matters? Why today such a different decision?
Xia Lalan watched silently but her eyes conveyed doubt. She had long known Lin Feng and understood his character well, but even so, she couldn’t fathom his intentions behind today’s actions. She also wanted to hear how Lin Feng would explain the events of today.
"So what if I slaughtered them? They’re dead because they’re dead. Though I don’t know what happened before, solely daring to act against my brother-in-law is enough reason to kill them, isn’t it?" Leng Hao voiced a different perspective at this time. His thought was simple. With Lin Feng leading, why overthink? If Lin Feng arranged it like this, it had to be for a reason. So there was really no need to dwell on it.
Looking at the four of them and hearing the two women’s and Leng Hao’s words, Lin Feng adopted a serious demeanor, addressing the group, "Actually, today’s approach is the most correct. The battles within the Cultivation World are inherently life-and-death. Whoever has the stronger power is the ultimate victor. Only by maintaining such a sense of crisis can one push themselves forward faster on the path of cultivation. With you all sailing smoothly with me, you lack any crisis awareness, which is detrimental to you."
"So, this time, I chose such an iron-fisted tactic. On one hand, I indeed needed to establish authority; on the other, it serves as a wake-up call for you all. If my guess is correct, Liao Chen and the others are probably in the same situation. They just haven’t shown it. When you have time, sort out their mental knots, so they don’t encounter issues during cultivation."
Lin Feng usually spoke little, but this time was different. He was meticulous and earnest in his words. Too many things happened before that led to today’s realization. Previously, he hadn’t pondered on these matters, thinking it didn’t matter to let unimportant people go. But in that very moment, he had a sudden insight. In the past, why were cultivators so monstrously powerful? It was because all cultivators had but one thought: to cultivate diligently. Only by reaching better realms and possessing stronger powers could one safeguard oneself. Otherwise, death was always lurking.
