Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 1620 - 1603: Interception (Can’t Stop Now)

In the afternoon, Lin Feng asked Xia Lalan to call Patriarch Xia, Xia Yuntian, from the Xia Family.

"Mr. Lin, is there something you need me for?" Xia Yuntian asked curiously as soon as he saw Lin Feng, not understanding why Lin Feng suddenly wanted to see him.

"Do you have any news regarding the new world?" Lin Feng was very curious about what was inside the new world. The entrance was already sealed by a formation, and he couldn’t enter without drawing attention, so he wanted to see if Xia Yuntian had any clues.

"Yesterday, several of our forces united and selected two people to go in and take a look. As rumored before, there are indeed many heavenly treasures, and the place is almost in its most primitive state, with an abundance of Spiritual Energy!" Xia Yuntian immediately responded upon hearing Lin Feng’s question.

"Only that?" Lin Feng could already guess this; he was asking for more than just that.

"Well, of course not. The two who went in, one died within a hundred feet, and the other used a Secret Technique to escape." At this point, Xia Yuntian didn’t want to hide anything anymore and directly explained the situation. This problem equally troubled all forces, and it was clear that the situation there was different from usual. While there were many heavenly treasures, it was also extremely dangerous!

"What realms were these two scouts in?" Lin Feng nodded upon hearing Xia Yuntian’s words. It was clear, as he thought, that the place would not be safe, and he needed to assess the level of danger inside.

"Mr. Lin, since it was just scouting, the people sent were not very strong, only in the Middle Stage of the Transcendent Realm. The survivor said they encountered a powerful Demon Beast estimated to be in the Infinitesimal Realm. Given this news, our forces discussed it, and if such a level of Demon Beast appears at just the entrance, who knows what might appear deeper inside!" Xia Yuntian added helplessly. The allure of the new world was immense, but it was equally dangerous inside. He wasn’t sure whether this new world was a blessing or a curse.

Hearing Xia Yuntian, Lin Feng nodded again. As he had suspected, this new world might have been sealed for thousands of years, allowing an environment to develop where, without natural enemies, ordinary beasts evolved into powerful Demon Beasts. This was similar to the previous Heavenly Immortal Mansion Ruins. Lin Feng even speculated that if this new world wasn’t a Heavenly Immortal Mansion, it was definitely a world sealed by ancient powerhouses; otherwise, such a situation wouldn’t exist.

Of course, these were just his speculations for now. Specifics would only be known upon seeing the new world. After thinking everything through, Lin Feng shifted the topic to other issues: "What do you think about tomorrow’s meeting of the seven major powers?"

"Mr. Lin, what do you mean?" Xia Yuntian was a bit confused by Lin Feng’s sudden change of subject.

"I meant, what will be discussed at tomorrow’s meeting?" Lin Feng clarified.

"What else but deciding the interest distribution among the various forces going inside." Xia Yuntian understood Lin Feng’s meaning and answered simply. But after answering, he looked at Lin Feng, puzzled about Lin Feng’s intention. Could Lin Feng have other ideas?

"What I want to say is, considering the situation of the Heavenly Immortal Mansion, it’s not hard to deduce that similar circumstances exist in the new world. I think at this time, we should unite and strive to secure as much interest as possible." Lin Feng expressed his thoughts to Xia Yuntian.

"Even without you telling, we know what to do. However, Mr. Lin, tomorrow is just a preliminary meeting, and during the actual Cultivation World Congress, there will be countless Loose Cultivators. How should we address this issue?" Xia Yuntian voiced his concern to Lin Feng once more.

"We don’t need to worry about that; those people will handle this matter properly." Lin Feng explained casually. This was never an issue. The congress was led by the seven major powers, and even if they didn’t speak, other forces would intervene to resolve the Loose Cultivator issue to protect their interests. After all, if all Loose Cultivators entered, what interests would the seven great powers have left to discuss?

"I see. I fully understand your intent now. Rest assured, Mr. Lin, at tomorrow’s meeting, I will do my utmost to help resolve this issue." Xia Yuntian finally understood Lin Feng’s entire plan, and truthfully, he greatly agreed with Lin Feng’s suggestions. If things proceeded according to Lin Feng’s arrangements, the four Prominent Families would undoubtedly gain the most advantage from this new world exploration.

"Alright, that’s all. You can leave now, and also communicate with the Song Family. With the three of us, no other forces will stir up trouble at the meeting." Seeing everything arranged, Lin Feng indicated for Xia Yuntian to leave.

"Okay, Mr. Lin, I’m leaving then. Don’t worry, I will clearly convey all of this to the Song Family." Xia Yuntian immediately got up after hearing Lin Feng, said goodbye to him, and turned to leave. He had to go to the Song Family’s camp and relay Lin Feng’s intentions to ensure nothing adverse happened on their side at the meeting.

After Xia Yuntian left, a trace of light appeared in Lin Feng’s eyes. Among the seven major powers, the four Prominent Families each held a side. These four forces would not oppose him, but unexpected events might arise from the other two powers. If those two did not provoke him, he wouldn’t care, but if they insisted, the situation might change...

On the next morning, as the sun slowly rose, Lin Feng had breakfast and then went to the foot of a small mountain. On the mountain, a small monastery was being temporarily used as the meeting place for the seven major powers.

Just upon arriving at the mountain’s base, a problem arose. He didn’t expect the path up the mountain to be filled with formations, and these were no ordinary formations; their level was quite impressive, leaving Lin Feng puzzled about who could be targeting him.

With a movement of his Divine Sense, he contacted Xia Yuntian on the mountain.

"What’s going on, is there a formation on the way up the mountain?"

"No, there wasn’t a formation when we went up the mountain."

"Could there be a formation master on the mountain?"

"Yes, how did you know? Master Zhang Tianzhen is here!"

"Aren’t the seven major forces converging? Which side is he on?"

"His presence is quite special. The formations sealing the new world and the protective array covering the entire area are set up by him."

"I understand, alright, just pretend you don’t know anything."

...

After a brief exchange with Xia Yuntian through Divine Sense, Lin Feng understood where the problem lay. It turned out that the issue was with Zhang Tianzhen. He had previously disciplined Zhang Tianzhen’s apprentice, and now the master wanted to embarrass him; it was that simple.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng instead smiled, thinking that Zhang Tianzhen really took himself too seriously, thinking he could embarrass him just by relying on formations. This idea was too naive. Not to mention that he could directly fly over, even without flying over directly, these formations wouldn’t trouble him.

So Lin Feng hung up the call and immediately walked into the formation. Unbeknownst to the people outside, as soon as Lin Feng entered the formation, his figure disappeared. Inside, he expanded his Divine Sense and quickly figured out what kind of formation it was.

Five Directions Soul-Returning Formation!

At this moment, Lin Feng’s face turned grim. The Five Directions Soul-Returning Formation is a killing array, its main force is lethal, with tremendous power. But it also requires the setting array master to have high mastery; not every formation master can set it up. If a formation master is in command, its power would be increased. He didn’t expect Zhang Tianzhen to harbor murderous intent from the very beginning!

Just as Lin Feng thought of this, one after another strands of killing intent surged toward him within the Five Directions Soul-Returning Formation. Instantly, the surrounding space was filled with spatial traps, trapping Lin Feng in place as a living target for the killing intent!

It was only now that Lin Feng realized that Zhang Tianzhen had long been eyeing him, planning to kill him on the way up the mountain. Had he been an ordinary Divine Change Realm strongman, Zhang Tianzhen might have succeeded. But unfortunately for him, Lin Feng had already surpassed the Human Immortal Realm, and additionally, he was an Array Master, so Zhang Tianzhen’s plan was nothing but a pipedream.

Seeing the seemingly tangible killing intent approaching, Lin Feng didn’t even move. He casually drew a colorful Gang Qi Symbol Seal in the air with his hand, then with a flick of his hand, the Gang Qi Symbol Seal instantly shot towards a certain spot not far away.

"Bang!"

A very light sound was heard, and the imminent killing intent aimed at Lin Feng vanished without a trace, including the spatial traps that appeared around him, as they too disappeared because the Five Directions Soul-Returning Formation had already been dismantled by Lin Feng. Under the powerful and limitless Divine Sense of Lin Feng, the formation eye of the Five Directions Soul-Returning Formation was instantly located by Lin Feng. That previous Symbol Seal destroyed the formation eye, causing the entire formation to vanish.

So powerful?

The master of the formation, Zhang Tianzhen, was astonished at how quickly Lin Feng broke his Five Directions Soul-Returning Formation. He knew Lin Feng was strong and had heard from the four prominent families that Lin Feng had once modified their Defense Formations. Hence, he inferred that Lin Feng was an Array Master. But he did not expect Lin Feng’s level of formation mastery to be so high, breaking the Five Directions Soul-Returning Formation in an instant—far beyond his expectations. Though he knew Lin Feng surely could break the formation, he hadn’t thought it would be this fast!

But today he intended to teach Lin Feng a lesson, so how could he only set up one formation? Thus, as soon as the Five Directions Soul-Returning Formation was broken, he immediately activated the next formation, the Seven Stars Severing Skies Formation. This formation was much more formidable than the Five Directions Soul-Returning Formation. With his current level of Formation Mastery, the Seven Stars Severing Skies Formation was enough to trap a Human Immortal Realm powerhouse. Under his control, no matter how strong Lin Feng’s power was, he wouldn’t be able to withstand the power of this formation, so he was very confident that Lin Feng would absolutely not escape from this formation!

As soon as the Seven Stars Severing Skies Formation was activated, the surroundings changed; there were no more traces of the mountain side, and instantly it felt like entering a special space. In the sky, seven dazzling stars glimmered, but it didn’t look beautiful. Beneath the stars, black shadows shot towards Lin Feng, tearing the space into countless spatial rifts wherever they passed!
