Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 1651 - 1634: Something Terrible Has Happened

On the other side, all the forces within the new world are exploring as much as possible, simultaneously arranging for their people to improve their strength as quickly as possible. Everyone is filled with a sense of crisis, and nearly all attention is focused on how to enhance their power.

At night, the family head of a small family was cultivating when suddenly a shadow appeared in front of him, almost scaring him to death. However, he did not act impulsively; for someone to appear before him out of nowhere, their strength must be far superior to his by an unknown margin, and resisting would be futile.

"I wonder what brings you here?" the small family head nervously asked the black-clad figure opposite him.

"I’m giving you an opportunity," the black-clad figure casually replied, looking at the small family head.

"Giving me an opportunity?" The small family head was stunned upon hearing this, not understanding what the black-clad figure meant.

"Indeed, our realm will soon enter here. If you surrender to us, we can ensure your preservation without being slaughtered," said the black-clad figure, directly stating their intention to the small family head.

"What!"

The small family head was instantly alarmed upon hearing this. He couldn’t believe things had progressed to this extent. Didn’t Lin Feng say it would take some more time? How have Immortal Realm people appeared now? What’s going on?

As he pondered these matters, the black-clad figure suddenly levitated from the ground, surrounding the small family head with a murderous aura. Instantly, he felt as if he’d fallen into an ice cave, sensing that the one glance from the black-clad figure could dismember him.

At this moment, he finally understood the immense power of the other side. If he didn’t agree to their terms, he would likely die soon. In this critical moment, he immediately made a decision: "Alright, I agree to surrender to you. Just tell me what to do, and I will follow your instructions."

"Very smart. We don’t need you to do much, just one thing: stop Lin Feng from sealing the space. In no time, we can fully open the space passage. And you, you will certainly protect your family and receive our rewards. Remember, don’t betray us, or I can obliterate your entire family by myself," said the black-clad figure before disappearing into the night, having completed his task.

The small family head breathed a sigh of relief once the figure left, feeling the cold sweat soaking his clothes. He knew this matter was far from simple, but his and his family’s strength were too insufficient. For self-preservation, he could only comply, leaving the aftermath for others to ponder over.

The same scene was playing out at various locations within the new world. Over the past few days, the black-clad figures had investigated and identified which forces were closely associated with Lin Feng. They were targeting only those small families with no connections to Lin Feng, leaving the prominent families to be concerned on their own.

In just a few days, many small Prominent Families within the new world had already been subdued by these black-clad figures, leaving Xiao Di very satisfied. To keep the secret, Xiao Di instructed these individuals to remain quietly while he continued with his own affairs.

Kong Lifeng was in a temporary location contemplating Kong Family’s development, which was causing him a headache. The Myriad Saints Sect hadn’t sent anyone in ages, leaving him puzzled as to why the Holy Soul Sect seemed to neglect Earth.

What path should the Kong Family take?

Kong Lifeng pondered this issue deeply, realizing he couldn’t bring himself to surrender to Lin Feng, partially due to his resentment. Given the past conflicts with Lin Feng, even if they surrendered, it was clear to Kong Lifeng they wouldn’t be part of the inner circles, and this was something he understood well.

But if not surrendering to Lin Feng, there would be no safety guarantees for the Kong Family either, given Lin Feng’s overwhelming power. Even without Lin Feng himself, the two Demon Immortals alone could bring the Kong Family to ruin, making it a difficult decision for him.

While contemplating these things, he suddenly felt the space before him tremble, as a person materialized before him, startling Kong Lifeng. He had witnessed enough to realize undoubtedly that the person before him was a strong individual from the Human Immortal Realm. With no means of self-defense, if they wanted to kill him, he would have to accept fate.

"I wonder what your intention is?" Kong Lifeng said straightforwardly, feigning calmness as he faced the black-clad figure. He didn’t want to play games with him.

"The intent is simple. I want your Kong Family to surrender to us and act as our representatives," Xiao Di said, casually looking at Kong Lifeng.

"Surrender to you? Who are you?" Upon hearing this, Kong Lifeng’s emotions stirred, though his expression remained unchanged. Indeed, surrendering was easy, but he needed assurance that they could protect the entire Kong Family.

"I am from the Holy Soul Sect, representing them. I know your Kong Family was once associated with the Myriad Saints Sect. Let me clarify: anything they promised, we can promise too. If, of course, you disagree, I can obliterate your entire Kong Family immediately. Don’t think I’m joking, as you haven’t earned the privilege for my jokes," said Xiao Di bluntly, without hiding his intentions. He came to subdue the Kong Family, one of Earth’s Hidden World’s four major forces. Though originally powerful, the Kong Family had an unfavorable relationship with Lin Feng, and thus Xiao Di didn’t worry about Kong Lifeng’s capacity to resist.

Indeed, upon hearing Xiao Di’s words, Kong Lifeng’s expression changed, yet he didn’t rush to respond. Instead, he fell into thought. As the family head, he bore responsibility for the Kong Family, knowing that one word could alter the fate of all its members.

Xiao Di remained silent too, staring at Kong Lifeng, applying pressure that nearly brought him to his knees.

After careful consideration, Kong Lifeng finally said to Xiao Di, "I agree to surrender to your Holy Soul Sect. Just tell me what you need me to do."

Kong Lifeng’s decision caused no surprise. The power the opponent demonstrated felt equally matched to Lin Feng, and refusal might lead to the Kong Family’s immediate demise. Therefore, their strength offered sufficient reason for the Kong Family to follow.

Moreover, Kong Lifeng recognized the opponent as an important figure within the Holy Soul Sect. Aligning with a sect from the Immortal Realm was safer than surrendering to Lin Feng, given that the Immortal Realm has ancestors, all Earth Immortal strength, and Lin Feng couldn’t compete. Hence, from the Kong Family’s viewpoint, surrendering to the Holy Soul Sect was the only viable path, excluding any association with Lin Feng.

Seeing Kong Lifeng agree, Xiao Di nodded and said, "No need for your Kong Family to really do anything. The space here is not very stable now; you just need to represent the Kong Family to ensure Lin Feng doesn’t seal this space. Other matters don’t require your involvement."

After saying this, Xiao Di left, not wasting time as matters were concluded. Kong Lifeng stood still, while the cold sweat drenched his clothes. He didn’t know if this was a deal with the devil, but he had no choice, as it was the only path forward.

He sighed...

After sighing, Kong Lifeng turned to leave, needing to report to the family ancestor, seeking guidance for the next steps. The Kong Family was pretty much stranded now, hoping the Myriad Saints Sect would be a support seemingly vanished entirely. With these circumstances, for the self-preservation of the Kong Family, he could only handle matters this way without other options...

In the following days, Xiao Di and the black-clad figures visited other forces, successfully integrating them. As for those associated with Lin Feng, they haven’t touched them. Now, Xiao Di and the figures started to busy themselves, arranging to open the space passage and other matters.

All previous preparations were to prevent Lin Feng from interfering. Now, around half of the new world supported them, allowing them to arrange the opening of the space passage confidently. Their sect paid a high price for forceful transfer, desiring no mishaps in opening the passage.

Yet this was merely their own assumption. Although they forced many to unite, some only feigned allegiance, believing the opening of the space passage would greatly harm Earth with no benefits, secretly reporting Xiao Di’s appearance and intention to Xia Yuntian.

Xia Yuntian turned pale upon reading these reports, promptly dispatching Xia Yunfeng to seek Lin Feng, informing him of these developments to devise a solution.

Half a day later, Xia Yunfeng arrived at the Spirit Realm and, led by the children, met Lin Feng. As soon as he laid eyes on Lin Feng, he urgently said, "Mr. Lin, there’s a major catastrophe! I don’t know what’s happening, but suddenly, members of the Holy Soul Sect have appeared and secretly united many small forces; they’re trying to open a space passage to the Immortal Realm."

Xia Yunfeng was truly anxious now. If the space passage were opened, it would spell disaster as Lin Feng predicted, potentially leaving Earth ravaged. He understood that given the absolute disparity in strength, Earth’s cultivators currently had no power to resist.
