Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 1681 - 1663: Chaotic Battle

From this moment on, chaos erupted within the Immortal-Slaying Secret Realm. The disciples of the Wufeng Sect began sweeping through the surrounding smaller sects. Initially, these smaller sects put up a strong resistance, but once Third Hu appeared and decimated one of the smaller sects with a single move, the rest of the smaller sects surrendered obediently to the Wufeng Sect and presented all their cultivation resources. In the face of life and death threats, these smaller sects naturally chose self-preservation.

Later, under Third Hu’s directions, these smaller sects joined forces to seize resources from other sects and loose cultivators in the vicinity. In just a few days, the Wufeng Sect, with its iron-handed methods, consolidated over a dozen nearby sects, forming a considerable force.

What no one knew was that similar to Third Hu, other sealed old monsters appeared inside the Immortal-Slaying Secret Realm. They followed the same pattern as Third Hu. It’s important to remember that these old monsters, once sealed away, were all formidable threats to their regions. Now, having escaped or awakened, they would not let such an opportunity slip by.

For a time, the entire Immortal-Slaying Secret Realm became chaotic, with robbery and fighting everywhere. Some sect members, having tasted the advantages of having a backing, began openly robbing others, making everyone within the Immortal-Slaying Secret Realm feel anxious and fearful.

Some astute individuals started to establish ties with the four prominent families, as only these families could ensure their safety. Even some smaller sects began leaning towards the four prominent families.

News travels fast. With such events taking place in the Immortal-Slaying Secret Realm, Xia Yuntian and Song Wuya immediately thought of Lin Feng. However, upon arriving at Lingxiu Academy, they learned that Lin Feng had been missing for months, with no one able to contact him. Faced with this, Xia Yuntian and Song Wuya had no recourse but to shrink their area of influence and wait for Lin Feng to emerge and address the situation.

Ding Wan’er and others were aware of the situation. They all wanted to take action, but upon learning that those showing up were all at the Human Immortal Realm Peak, they had to abandon the idea. With Lin Feng absent, should anything happen to them, no one could save them. In utter helplessness, Ding Wan’er could only instruct the women to gather together and stay put, waiting for Lin Feng’s return.

The children and Liao Chen were quite frustrated during this period. They had already encountered the Wufeng Sect members several times. If not for their impressive skills, they might have been truly robbed by those people. Initially, both sides clashed fiercely, sustaining injuries that were not fatal but still infuriating Liao Chen and the children greatly.

"Damn it, why are these people acting like maniacs?"

"Exactly, no one from other factions would provoke us without reason."

"I’m very curious, what’s their trump card? What gives them such arrogance?"

"Isn’t it because Teacher Lin isn’t around? If Teacher Lin were here, these people wouldn’t get the chance to be arrogant."

...

The children and Liao Chen whispered among themselves at Lingxiu Academy. They were genuinely angry now, not because of the fights themselves but due to the Wufeng Sect’s methods. The Wufeng Sect had turned entirely rogue, and they began discussing ways to eradicate these people.

However, somehow many Divine Change Realm experts appeared on the opposing side. Their side had decent strength but couldn’t all go out at once; only a part could go out, while the rest had to protect Lingxiu Academy and the respected wives. This posed a real headache for them.

"Tomorrow, I’ll lead a team out. If we encounter those people again, don’t hold back. Get rid of these calamities first!" Liao Chen declared coldly at this moment. He was now in the late Divine Change Realm and reckoned that below the Human Immortal Realm, no one could be his opponent. He couldn’t swallow this anger any longer.

"I’ll go too, Jianping, you stay home and guard the premises with the others," Xia Jianwu stepped forward, exuding killing intent. He was utterly disgusted with these people and eager to eliminate them all. Now that Liao Chen had made a decision, he wouldn’t miss the opportunity.

Xia Jianping didn’t oppose this decision. Keeping such threats would eventually be a major problem. Besides, the Wufeng Sect was quickly recruiting more people, and it was wise to act sooner against such a sect. Others also agreed with the decision, and they consented to the arrangement.

After discussing this matter, everyone dispersed to start preparations...

By the next morning, Liao Chen and Xia Jianwu led their team to the place where they last encountered the Wufeng Sect people. After a full four hours of walking, they again encountered the Wufeng Sect members robbing other cultivators there.

"Stop!"

Seeing such a scene, Liao Chen shouted out and, joined by Xia Jianwu and the others, rushed forward, glaring at the Wufeng Sect members in anger.

"Well, well, who is it? Turns out to be you lot. Mind your own business and get lost, or else don’t blame us for being rude!" a Divine Change Realm expert from the Wufeng Sect said arrogantly. He had once feared Lin Feng’s students, but now he had nothing to fear. Lin Feng had been missing for months and hadn’t shown up. Without Lin Feng, what was there to fear?

Moreover, the most important thing is, during these days, they have plundered countless resources, and under the guidance of Ancestor Third Hu, these people have made qualitative leaps. Not to mention anything else, their Wufeng Sect now has more than twenty experts at the Divine Change Realm, and even has one expert at the Human Immortal Realm. With such strength, they are not afraid of the four Prominent Families, so they have the capital to be arrogant now.

"Release him, or we will take action!" Liao Chen saw the other party being so arrogant and immediately roared angrily. He was truly furious now; such arrogance even while robbing—when did cultivators start behaving like this? After speaking, Liao Chen’s eyes widened, wishing he could tear the opposing party apart right then.

"Release him!"

"Release him!"

...

The children behind Liao Chen also spoke at this time, all extremely angry. Even though Lin Feng was not present, it didn’t mean they would let these people off. Not only were they robbing other cultivators, but they dared to be so arrogant—utterly excessive!

"Just a bunch of kids, being so arrogant! Everyone, let’s take care of these brats!" The leader, a Divine Change Realm expert, was extremely agitated seeing Liao Chen and others speak like that. Who hadn’t run away in fear when they saw them in recent days, yet these youngsters dared to talk to him this way—absolutely clueless!

After yelling, he immediately drew his weapon, followed by others who came with him who also drew their weapons. They weren’t afraid of Liao Chen and the others; Lin Feng’s life was uncertain at the moment, so what was there to be cautious of? Even if they killed these people, no one would know, plus they had long disliked Lin Feng’s disciples, how could they miss such an opportunity?

"Take action!" Seeing the other party still so arrogant, Liao Chen didn’t hesitate either, coldly saying two words, then moved swiftly to meet the leading Divine Change Realm expert, while Xia Jianwu and others followed suit, transforming into gusts of wind, each facing their own opponents.

At that moment, two torrents collided...

"Bang! Looking for death!"

"Damn it, how did they suddenly get stronger!"

"What’s going on, this... boom!"

...

The people from Wufeng Sect initially didn’t take Liao Chen and others seriously. They had fought before and knew well their level, at most just evenly matched. But when they truly engaged, they realized they were wrong. Not only did Liao Chen seem like a different person, even Xia Jianwu and those kids suddenly appeared stronger, taking them by surprise—how did these people suddenly get stronger, had they been holding back before?

In fact, they really guessed right. There was an unwritten rule within Lingxiu Academy that when dealing with outsiders, they would withhold thirty percent of their strength, because only by doing this could they maintain a humble attitude. But today these people were truly angry, unleashing their full strength, and the sudden boost in power was overwhelming for the others.

Seeing the unfavorable situation, the Wufeng Sect immediately began contacting other experts for support. Fortunately, another group was not far away; after receiving the call for help, they immediately rushed over and joined the battle.

Liao Chen led the children and originally held the advantage, but after this group joined the fray, the situation quickly deteriorated. It’s important to note Liao Chen’s group consisted of only a little over ten people, faced initially against more than thirty, and now with the addition of over thirty more, each person would face four members of Wufeng Sect—the pressure became unbearable.

But none of Liao Chen and the children retreated; they gritted their teeth and persevered, their ferocity unmatched by ordinary cultivators. However, given the disparity in strength, no matter how fierce they were, they couldn’t rival these opponents.

Just as Liao Chen and the children were about to falter, a group from the Xia Family searching for resources arrived from afar. Seeing Liao Chen and the children at a disadvantage, they recklessly charged in. They couldn’t just watch on—after all, those children were of the Xia Family!

In the unsafe Immortal-Slaying Secret Realm, the Xia Family had deployed more people for resource exploration, prioritizing safety. Their group numbered nearly fifty, and their strength was quite decent, maybe not as exaggerated as Liao Chen and the others, but adequate for self-defense.

Once the Xia Family joined the battle, the situation shifted, causing Wufeng Sect’s side to start collapsing. Just as they were about to hold out, another group arrived, also from Wufeng Sect. Seeing their own people suffering losses, they joined the battle again, shifting the tides of the conflict.

By now, Wufeng Sect’s force approached a hundred strong, while Liao Chen’s and the Xia Family’s combined numbers barely reached over sixty. Both sides completely unleashed themselves. The battle was incredibly tragic, with countless booms, and the earth constantly trembling...
