Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 1632 - 1615: A Hidden Conspiracy

In the forest, Lin Feng showed Xia Lalan many interesting things, making her laugh and dispelling her anxiety. It was only after the sky darkened that he led Xia Lalan back to the camp.

At this time, the people at the camp were orderly. Without Lin Feng, they wouldn’t make any decisions on their own and were waiting for his return. As soon as they saw Lin Feng and Xia Lalan return, they gathered around. For some reason, everyone felt that Xia Lalan seemed different, exuding an indescribable aura.

"Brother-in-law, why are you two back so late?" Leng Hao looked at Lin Feng and Xia Lalan at this time, his eyes revealing a hint of strangeness. He asked casually, but his gaze suggested—brother-in-law, did you push Xia Lalan? Otherwise, why come back so late?

Upon hearing Leng Hao’s comment, Xia Lalan’s face instantly turned red. If not for using Facial Jade Dew, it wouldn’t have taken so long. Suddenly asked by Leng Hao, her heart started to panic, though she didn’t know why.

Compared to Xia Lalan, Lin Feng remained much calmer, appearing as if nothing had happened. He said to Leng Hao, "Lanlan and I checked the surroundings and encountered some strange things, which delayed us a bit."

Lin Feng spoke casually, but the crowd was thinking about something else. If even Lin Feng felt it was strange, then it must be extraordinary. They all wanted to ask him what had happened, but nobody spoke up, thinking that if Lin Feng wanted them to know, he would tell them.

"Teacher Lanlan, you didn’t encounter any danger, did you?"

"Teacher Lanlan, why do you look prettier?"

...

Unlike the adults, the children had no such concerns, their thoughts were simple. Since Teacher Lin and Teacher Lanlan were so skilled, what kept them delayed until now? They wanted to know if something had happened.

"There’s nothing wrong, don’t worry." Seeing the children like this, Xia Lalan smiled and said to them, then turned to Lin Feng: "I’ll take the children back to rest."

After saying that, Xia Lalan left with the children. There was no need for her to take care of things here anymore as Lin Feng had already arranged everything on the way back. She just needed to watch over the children.

Once Xia Lalan and the children left, Lin Feng finally spoke.

"I know what you’re thinking. If you want to explore around, go right ahead. There shouldn’t be any major danger, but still, be careful. I believe you know what to do without me saying it." Lin Feng said bluntly to Lei Yan and the others. This matter was something he had already planned. He briefly scanned the area, and the Lei Family people should be able to handle it. Since these people wanted to explore, let them. After all, everyone was here for benefits, and if he kept them around all the time, they would surely have opinions.

"Mr. Lin, then... we shall take our leave."

"Mr. Lin, we... we shall take our leave."

...

Hearing what Lin Feng said, hundreds of people including Lei Yan all spoke up. Lin Feng’s words struck a chord with them. They had been in the new world for five days without gaining any profits, so they were itching to explore around now that the opportunity arose, and they couldn’t reject it.

After greeting Lin Feng, Lei Yan and the others left a few people to guard the camp, then everyone headed towards the distant forest together. Although it was already dark, it did not dampen their enthusiasm. Under Lin Feng and Leng Hao’s watch, everyone entered the forest.

"Teacher Lin, what about us?" With only Lin Feng and Leng Hao left, Liao Chen stood up and asked. Actually, the students also wanted to go in, but since Lin Feng hadn’t spoken, they dared not act on their own.

Upon hearing Liao Chen’s question, Lin Feng looked towards him and noticed that the students were eager. After thinking for a moment, he nodded. Let them gain some experience; after all, there aren’t any overly powerful Demon Beasts around, a fact he had already confirmed.

"Yes, Teacher Lin!"

"We’re going."

"..."

Seeing Lin Feng agree to their exploration, Liao Chen and the others were elated. After giving Lin Feng a simple farewell, they too quickly disappeared at the edge of the forest.

Now, only Leng Hao and Lin Feng were left. The two casually walked over to the campfire and started chatting.

"Brother-in-law, I find it strange. This new world seems different from what we expected." Leng Hao looked at Lin Feng, expressing his feelings. He had discovered some peculiarities over the past few days. If this new world was sealed since the Ancient Era, why are there so many peculiar Demon Beasts and strange dangers? It didn’t seem like the place was advertised.

"You noticed too. I realized it shortly after entering." Lin Feng said to Leng Hao blandly.

"Then, brother-in-law, why do we continue deeper? Why not just leave right away?" Leng Hao immediately pursued after hearing Lin Feng’s words. He wanted to know what Lin Feng meant; why stay despite knowing there were issues?

"Xiao Hao, from my standpoint, I can’t just abandon it casually. I’m not only representing myself, but a group of people. For instance, had I given up at the beginning, did you think the European Cultivation Forces Alliance, the Song Family, and the Xia Family would give up from the start?"

Lin Feng said earnestly. This time, the three forces came because of him, so he couldn’t easily leave. Since he had brought the Sanfeng forces in, he must protect these three forces as much as possible. It wasn’t a small number—over a thousand people. One could say they were elites of the three forces. If these people came to harm, those forces might be destroyed.

Facing the upcoming space-time gate, all cultivators on Earth need to be organized together for defense, so he couldn’t just leave. If he left, those forces might suffer heavy losses and would be undermined when resisting external threats in the future.

Leng Hao understood what Lin Feng meant upon hearing his explanation. After thinking it over, he realized Lin Feng’s approach was correct. With Lin Feng leading the way, they had already bypassed so much danger and trouble. Without Lin Feng, these people wouldn’t have made it this far.

Thinking about this, Leng Hao fell completely silent.

"Xiao Hao, I need to tell you something. If anything happens to me, immediately gather everyone from the three forces together. We can’t allow any mishap among us. Stick together, and you can at least preserve yourselves here. If you don’t see me in half a month, leave this new world right away. Then, quickly return to Tianhai with your sister and the others."

Suddenly, a thought arose in Lin Feng’s mind, and he advised Leng Hao about these things. He had sensed an ominous sign and didn’t want the three forces to suffer because of any potential mishap on his part.

"Brother-in-law, what do you mean?" Suddenly hearing Lin Feng talk like arranging his last words, Cold sweat broke out from Leng Hao. He urgently wanted to know why Lin Feng would say that; it was terrifying. If something happened to Lin Feng, it would be devastating!

"I don’t know exactly what might happen, but just listen to me; I can assure one thing, I won’t die." Lin Feng said straightforwardly, not hiding anything from Leng Hao. He had to make arrangements, and it was proper for Leng Hao to handle it. Concerning his safety, there was no need to worry.

"Alright, then." After listening to Lin Feng, Leng Hao lowered his head, feeling very heavy-hearted. He understood that persuading his brother-in-law to leave was impossible now. Since Lin Feng had arranged everything, he could only follow his instructions.

After Leng Hao agreed, Lin Feng said nothing more. He closed his eyes, expanded his Divine Sense, and observed everything around him...

...

Elsewhere, Zhang Tianzhen, manipulating the Vanishing Concealing Sky, arrived near a small hill, stopping atop a small-looking black stone. Once he retracted the Vanishing Concealing Sky and revealed himself, many people in black emerged from the surrounding forest, the people he had arranged beforehand.

"Have you completed the task I gave you?" Zhang Tianzhen asked coldly, looking at the people in black, his voice filled with authority.

"We followed your instructions and have set up the grand formation. We were very cautious with our movements, and no one discovered us. So far, everything is flawless." A leader emerged among the people in black, kneeling and reporting.

"Very good. If we succeed this time, this new world will be ours. Then, no one here will leave alive, and we can dominate this new world." Zhang Tianzhen nodded approvingly after hearing the report, satisfied with the outcome. Thinking of the impending success, his face glowed with excitement.

"We pledge to follow the master to the death."

"We pledge to follow the master to the death."

...

All the people in black knelt and said softly. Raised by Zhang Tianzhen from a young age, they naturally obeyed his words. But thinking that this world would belong to them, their hearts were equally thrilled.
