Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 828: Who on Earth is it...

"That... who could it be that the Ancestor said would help the Nangong Family through this crisis?" No matter how hard Nangong Pingfeng thought, he couldn’t think of anyone in the Cultivation World who could suppress Ancestor of Li Family, Li Deming, because such a person simply didn’t exist.

During this time, Nangong Pingfeng had thought about many things, and he had come to believe that the Nangong Family really couldn’t escape their doom. Faced with the current strength of the Li Family, even if the Nangong Family wanted to resist, they couldn’t withstand them. Even if they were to use all of their Xuantian Pills, the concern was that they wouldn’t be able to hold off the inevitable. So, after thinking it over, Nangong Pingfeng still felt he should find a way out for himself. If it really came down to it, succumbing to the Li Family wasn’t out of the question. Although such a thought was somewhat disgraceful, when compared to life, everything else was unimportant.

It was with this mindset that Nangong Pingfeng had secretly reached out to the Yue Family. Although the Yue Family was a newly rising Cultivating clan without many masters, they were very shrewd. As soon as the Li Family began to rise in power, the Yue Family had already sided with them, something well known among the cultivators in Australia.

Sure enough, after Nangong Pingfeng made contact with the Yue Family, they immediately agreed to his idea. Once the Nangong Family was swallowed up by the Li Family, they promised to make Nangong Pingfeng an Elder and the Guardian of the Yue Family. For a family with only one S-rank master, having a super-master like Nangong Pingfeng join them would almost certainly secure their place as the number one Cultivating family in Australia. They were more than happy to have such a good fortune and would never refuse.

Therefore, when Nangong Pingfeng learned that someone had come to help the Nangong Family, he naturally sent a message to the Yue Family, to make them aware and to prepare. Of course, he did this very discreetly, and no one would suspect that an Elder would do such a thing.

"Yes, Ancestor! Who has come to help?"

"We’re really curious, too."

"Has the Old Monster arrived?"

...

The other Elders of the Nangong Family also spoke up one after another, all wanting to know if the person who came this time was the Old Monster. In their eyes, only the Old Monster could help the Nangong Family resist the Li Family. They had all seen just how formidable Li Deming was with their own eyes. Apart from the Old Monster, there seemed to be no one else who could stand against Li Deming. However, when the Ancestor had brought them here, he had said nothing, which couldn’t help but make them doubt in their hearts.

"The one who’s come is not the Old Monster, but he can help the Nangong Family weather this crisis," said Nangong He, responding indifferently after hearing the questions from the family. He had already clearly understood the Old Monster’s intentions after having a conversation with him. Although Lin Feng was excessively young and it was hard for people to believe he could defeat the Old Monster, Nangong He knew better. The Old Monster would not joke about such matters. If he said so, it meant Lin Feng had the ability.

Furthermore, the most important thing was the tone in which the Old Monster spoke to Lin Feng; it was completely on an equal footing. This made the situation even clearer. If Lin Feng did not have such strength, how could the Old Monster have treated him that way? So, Nangong He had no doubt that with Lin Feng’s help, the Nangong Family would definitely survive this crisis.

That’s why, as soon as the Old Monster told him Lin Feng was coming over on a private plane, fearing any delay, Nangong He urgently called together Nangong Mingyue and a few Elders from the family to welcome Lin Feng. He didn’t want to offend Lin Feng by any lack of manners. Although Lin Feng was quite young, he had enough capital to warrant such treatment already. A person who could sit at par with the Old Monster definitely had the right to be proud.

"What? It’s not the Old Monster?"

"How... how could that be possible!"

"Ancestor, Li Deming is so powerful now, apart from the Old Monster who can withstand him!"

"This..."

...

Nangong Mingyue and several Elders of the Nangong Family were dumbfounded upon hearing Nangong He say this, for in their wildest dreams, they had not anticipated that someone could actually take the place of the Old Monster and withstand Li Deming. Such news was too unexpected and unbelievable for them, considering Li Deming had already broken through to the late S-level, and even the Ancestor of Li Family was no match for Li Deming. Who else could possibly be a match for Li Deming? No matter how hard they racked their brains, they couldn’t figure out who this person could be...

"You don’t need to say anymore. Just wait and you’ll know when the person arrives. Listen up, all of you, this is the Nangong Family’s last hope. Do not cause any trouble and show the utmost respect to our guest, just as you would to me, understand?" Nangong He’s face darkened upon hearing his family members speak as such, and he said with a hint of anger, his tone exuding supreme authority. As the Guardian of the Nangong Family, how could he be joking about this matter? They just needed to wait for Lin Feng to appear.

However, Nangong He also understood why Nangong Mingyue and the others had reacted the way they did. It wasn’t their fault; even he had never imagined that there could be someone in the world who could stand shoulder to shoulder with the Old Monster. If it weren’t for seeing it with his own eyes during a video call with the Old Monster, he wouldn’t have believed it either. Therefore, it was normal for Nangong Mingyue and the others to think as they did. However, at this juncture, he did not want to hear such doubts, nor did he wish for any disrespect towards Lin Feng upon his arrival, as it could potentially ruin the Nangong Family’s last hope—a scenario he decidedly did not want to see.

Therefore, it was then that Nangong He spoke out, with the sole purpose of ensuring that Nangong Mingyue and the others understood what they should and should not do.

"Elder..."

"We understand."

"We know what to do!"

Hearing Nangong He speak thus, Nangong Mingyue and the others immediately grasped his intention. They each assured they would follow Nangong He’s wishes. They believed that as the Guardian of the Nangong Family, Nangong He would not jest about the future of the Nangong Family. Since he had said so, it signaled that the person coming must indeed have the power to help the Nangong Family overcome its difficulties. Though they couldn’t fathom who this person might be, that was no longer important; all that mattered was the ability to assist the Nangong Family through its crisis. They were willing to show whatever respect was necessary.

Nonetheless, there was always an exception, and that was Nangong Pingfeng. Although he agreed outwardly when Nangong He spoke, his mind was occupied with other thoughts, wondering who on Earth the Guardian was referring to. No such powerful figure had ever surfaced in the Cultivation World. How could it be that no one knew of a figure who could be ranked alongside the Old Monster? The idea was truly inconceivable; he was eager to see who this person was and by what right he held such a qualification...

Just then, a voice that Nangong Mingyue found extremely irritating resounded.

"Oh, looks like the Nangong Family’s experts are all here. Who are you waiting to pick up? What’s with the grandeur?" Short in stature, dressed in black casual wear and sporting a white goatee, Yue Bufan arrived at the exit and immediately spotted Nangong He leading many experts of the Nangong Family, obviously awaiting someone’s arrival. Without a second thought, he swaggered over and quipped arrogantly.

As an S-level fighter, Yue Bufan certainly had the arrogance to back it up, given that the Yue Family had aligned with the Li Family, whose power was soaring in the Cultivation World. This alignment signified an unprecedented rise in status for the Yue Family. Although Yue Family’s rise to prominence was relatively recent under his leadership, the intense struggle between the Nangong and Li families in Australia was likely to culminate in the annihilation of the Nangong Family. In such a scenario, the Yue Family would reign supreme in Australia. So, Yue Bufan was in exceptionally high spirits, believing he had every right to be arrogant.

His appearance at this moment was due to a text message from Nangong Pingfeng. Upon reading the message, Yue Bufan reached out to Li Litian, the Family Head of the Li Family, who also had no idea who was coming to aid the Nangong Family. Left with no choice, Li Litian ordered Yue Bufan to bring some experts over to the airport to see who the person was. Immediately, Yue Bufan pledged his commitment and, along with a few experts, arrived at the airport, curious to find out who was coming to aid the Nangong Family.

However, he arrived early and found that the person the Nangong Family was waiting for had not yet shown up. Still, he saw this as an opportunity to be the first to see who would come to the Nangong Family’s aid and to prepare accordingly.

"What are you doing here? You’re not welcome! Get out!" Nangong Mingyue’s temper flared at Yue Bufan’s words. They were already aware of the Yue Family’s allegiance to the Li Family, so seeing Yue Bufan show up was infuriating. The Nangong Family was already being pushed to the brink by the Li Family, and here was Yue Bufan, causing a stir. If it weren’t for the public setting of the airport, Nangong Mingyue might have killed Yue Bufan on the spot.

Despite this, Nangong Mingyue knew that killing Yue Bufan was out of the question. Both of them were S-level fighters, and he simply wasn’t capable of taking down Yue Bufan. For now, he could only admonish Yue Bufan to leave the area and not interfere with the Nangong Family’s reception.

But at that moment, Nangong Mingyue’s heart skipped a beat, and a troubling thought suddenly crossed his mind. How had Yue Bufan so abruptly appeared here? It was as if no time had passed since the Guardian summoned them. How did Yue Bufan get wind of this? Could it be... Could it be that Yue Bufan had been monitoring the Nangong Family all along?
