Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 1622 - 1605: You? Are You Even Qualified?

"Look, is your master’s jade card here?" Lin Feng heard Zhang Tianzhen say this and immediately felt puzzled. Why did Zhang Tianzhen throw his master’s jade card? But now wasn’t the time to think about these things. He thought for a moment, waved his hand, took a stack of jade cards, and handed them to Zhang Tianzhen for him to see if Qiao Shan’s jade card was among them. He just wanted to confirm Zhang Tianzhen’s master’s identity.

Zhang Tianzhen took the jade cards from Lin Feng’s hand. As soon as he took them, he was almost scared to death. Although there were no names on these jade cards, each one was extraordinary and definitely not something an ordinary person possessed. Each had a unique mark belonging to the individuals. He even recognized one of them and could confirm it was the jade card of the most famous hidden world artifact refiner, Fang Gu, because that mark only belonged to Fang Gu!

At this time, he felt somewhat apprehensive inside, but with Lin Feng watching him, he didn’t dare to delay and quickly flipped through the jade cards. Finally, on the penultimate jade card, he saw his master’s unique mark. He carefully took out this jade card because he really didn’t know now how his master’s jade card ended up with Lin Feng.

"So that’s how it is..." When Lin Feng saw Zhang Tianzhen indeed take out a jade card, everything suddenly became clear. He thought to himself, how could Zhang Tianzhen arrange the formation from his master’s special ancient book? It turned out Zhang Tianzhen’s master was his own senior brother, and now everything made sense.

However, now that his senior brother Qiao Bin was already dead, he had no way to meet this senior brother anymore. And Zhang Tianzhen was now his senior brother’s successor, so he couldn’t act against Zhang Tianzhen anymore. Thinking of this, Lin Feng’s expression finally returned to normal as he said to Zhang Tianzhen, "Considering you are my senior brother’s disciple, I’ll spare your life!"

How is this possible!

Looking at Lin Feng, Zhang Tianzhen was storming inside with shock and couldn’t stop thinking that his master was surprisingly a senior brother with Lin Feng. This outcome was far too shocking to him. He finally understood why Lin Feng was so familiar with his formations and why he didn’t kill him afterward—this turned out to be the reason.

But looking at Lin Feng, his heart began to race. He had never imagined a powerful young martial uncle would suddenly emerge, and he recalled events from decades ago. If Lin Feng found out about those matters, Lin Feng definitely wouldn’t spare him.

To avoid Lin Feng from temporarily discovering any clues, Zhang Tianzhen took two steps over to Lin Feng’s side respectfully and said, "Martial Uncle, my master passed away, but before he did, he often mentioned that the greatest regret of his life was not seeing the Grandmaster again. He instructed me to respectfully bow if I had the chance to meet him once more."

These could just be made-up words, since the deceased are beyond testimony. Now, he merely wants to leverage his deceased master’s reputation for Lin Feng’s favor. As long as Lin Feng doesn’t suspect him, he’ll be safe. These words of gratitude can be used by anyone, so he might as well take advantage of them.

"Forget about it, I couldn’t find him anyway, so meeting him is out of the question." Lin Feng heard Zhang Tianzhen’s words, waved his hand, and said calmly.

But right after speaking, doubts crept into Lin Feng’s mind, sensing something amiss. The senior brothers and senior sisters he had met before were very upright, but this senior brother’s disciple was so bloodthirsty and quick to kill. If today’s victim were someone else instead of him, the formation would likely have killed them already.

Moreover, Zhang Tianzhen’s character had issues; for the sake of reputation, he favored his disciple without considering the truth, and his disciple was arrogant and disdainful. Like Zhang Fahua before, this seemed completely different from the style of his previous senior siblings.

Examining Zhang Tianzhen up and down, Lin Feng didn’t say anything further. However, he had already decided internally that once this new world affair was over, he would thoroughly investigate Zhang Tianzhen, as he felt there were issues surrounding Zhang Tianzhen.

Unaware, Zhang Tianzhen’s words didn’t achieve the expected effect but instead aroused Lin Feng’s suspicion. Seeing Lin Feng respond like that, he still feigned regret, then obediently stood behind Lin Feng, appearing entirely as a junior.

But standing behind Lin Feng and staring at his silhouette, a particular gleam flashed in Zhang Tianzhen’s eyes. Since Lin Feng was his master’s junior brother, he had to think of a way to eliminate Lin Feng; otherwise, if the past events were exposed, Lin Feng would certainly not spare him...

Qiao Shan is Lin Feng’s senior brother!

How can it be!

How could the two of them be connected!

...

In the distance, everyone watched, and nobody had expected such a twist of fate. Qiao Shan, who was he? He was once the most formidable array master within the Hidden World. Later, troubles arose in his formation research, after which his disciple Zhang Tianzhen appeared in the public’s view. If Qiao Shan were still alive, he’d likely be approaching two hundred years old; how could he be Lin Feng’s senior brother? This seemed altogether impossible?

Nonetheless, despite their doubts, none of them questioned Lin Feng’s words. Earlier events had confirmed this already; Lin Feng could break the array arranged by Zhang Tianzhen, thus demonstrating that Lin Feng and Zhang Tianzhen’s formations stemmed from the same lineage. Otherwise, based on Zhang Tianzhen’s Formation Master level, no other person could break the array; even great strength wouldn’t suffice!

As everyone was stunned, Lin Feng walked toward the four doors intending to step inside. But just then, an elder in a black robe, youthful despite his old age, stopped Lin Feng.

"This is not a place for just anyone. Who are you, and why are you here?" Ancestor Hu Nan looked at Lin Feng and coldly remarked. This meeting was a gathering of seven major forces; how could a young man barely in his twenties hope to enter? No matter how skilled he might be in formations, this place was for the leaders of the seven forces—not for some random person.

"Kid, regardless of who you are, leave." A particularly objectionable voice sounded from another side; the speaker was Ancestor Jiang Tianhun, leader of the Southeast Asian Cultivators’ Alliance. He also looked at Lin Feng displeasingly. In his view, a kid who didn’t look even twenty didn’t belong among them; he naturally found Lin Feng contemptible.

Hearing the two ancestors speak like this, Xia Yuntian and Song Wuya, two family heads, immediately frowned. They were eager to intervene. Lin Feng, if he acted, might cause conflicts with all cultivators from America and Southeast Asia, which would have too broad an impact.

Before they could speak, Lin Feng signaled them with his eyes, indicating they should remain silent and that he would handle this matter himself. He had his way of dealing with arrogant old men like these.

"Who says I can’t be here? I’m the leader of the European Cultivation Forces Alliance. With your remarks, can I assume you are challenging the European Cultivation Forces Alliance?" Staring at these arrogant speakers, Lin Feng said calmly. He wanted to see how these two old fellows would react; if they were truly uncooperative, he wouldn’t mind stepping over them.

"You say you’re the leader of the European Cultivation Forces Alliance?" Hu Nan eyed Lin Feng skeptically, fundamentally disbelieving Lin Feng was the leader of European cultivation forces. He knew Europe’s situation, led primarily by the Feng Family, Yue Family, and Lei Family, whose strength was excellent—exemplary within overseas cultivation forces. It seemed impossible for the leader they elected to be this young man; he wouldn’t believe it.

"Anyone but you might be, but certainly not you. Get lost, or don’t blame me for being rude!" Jiang Tianhun glared at Lin Feng, disregarding everything, verbally abusing him. As he saw it, unless the people in Europe were crazy to choose such a brat to represent them, Lin Feng was undoubtedly fabricating. Someone not yet twenty had neither credibility nor strength to be the representative—that was absolutely impossible.

For them, they believed squishing Lin Feng would be as simple as raising a hand, so they paid no heed to Lin Feng. Regardless of Lin Feng being an array master, facing their overwhelming power, he wouldn’t have the chance to set up any formations, hence not needing to give Lin Feng any respect.

But they both missed the reactions from the four prominent family heads who stood aside, remaining silent. They saw Lin Feng intended to confront these two old ancestors himself, so they watched from the sidelines. They were substantially displeased with these two arrogant ancestors; having Lin Feng straighten out these two wouldn’t be bad and could prevent them from overestimating themselves.

Lin Feng heard these two speak, but instead of anger, laughed, eyeing them much as if they were two idiots. He realized that these two represented the American and Southeast Asian Cultivation Alliances, and quite obviously had no idea of his existence; otherwise, those fools wouldn’t have spoken such words.

Indeed, Lin Feng’s guess was correct; these two didn’t know about Lin Feng. They always believed Huaxia consisted only of the four prominent families, aside from which no one was worth fearing. Moreover, the incident at the European Cultivation Forces Alliance camp yesterday hadn’t leaked any information, so they were clueless about Lin Feng.

"You aren’t qualified to make me leave. If you ramble any further, don’t blame me for being impolite!" Lin Feng looked at the pair, shaking his head while speaking. This was his final chance for them; if these old guys couldn’t recognize the situation, he wouldn’t hesitate to be genuinely unkind.

Lin Feng spoke genuinely, but in Hu Nan and Jiang Tianhun’s ears, it had an entirely different meaning, immediately enraging the two ancestors.
