Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 850: It’s Really Defying the Heavens!

In such a situation, calling Lin Feng over to help the Nangong Family get through this crisis... how could that possibly be? No matter how hard they racked their brains, they couldn’t think of any reason to believe Lin Feng could withstand the Ancestor of the Li Family. This... this was simply unthinkable and unbelievable!

"Rest assured, everyone, the Ancestor has his reasons for doing things this way, though he hasn’t told me anything more. He just said that Lin Feng is our Nangong Family’s savior, that the fate of our family this time relies entirely on Lin Feng. We must believe in this, no matter what. We all know that the Ancestor is wholeheartedly dedicated to our Nangong Family. How could he possibly put us in danger? Let’s not overthink it. If the Ancestor says Lin Feng is our savior, then he must be our savior. We just need to firmly believe this."

Nangong Mingyue said emotionlessly. In fact, he too harbored doubts like everyone else, but after talking with the Ancestor, those concerns had completely dissipated. He absolutely believed in the Ancestor’s words. According to the Ancestor, Lin Feng had now become a myth-like figure in the Cultivation World—definitely capable of standing up against Li Deming. Although he couldn’t understand why Lin Feng possessed such heaven-defying strength at such a young age, what did it matter? Regardless of whether the cat was black or white, any cat that could withstand the Ancestor of the Li Family and help the Nangong Family overcome this crisis was a good cat!

Nangong Mingyue had wanted to express all this at once, to let his clan members know how powerful Lin Feng was—that he could indeed stand against the Ancestor of the Li Family. However, when he thought about his conversation with the Ancestor and discovered that among the Elders, someone had betrayed them, he dismissed the idea. Being the Family Head of the Nangong Family, he had no choice but to step forward and stabilize the people’s hearts. He could only say so much, fully aware of the limited effect his words might have. That was all he could do right now.

Nangong Mingyue also wished there was something convincing he could say to reassure everyone. He had been pondering ever since leaving the Ancestor’s side, but no matter how hard he thought, he couldn’t come up with anything. Lin Feng was simply too young, and without revealing Lin Feng’s strength, yet trying to soothe the hearts of the Nangong Family, the task was truly too difficult. He simply couldn’t think of a good solution that wouldn’t expose Lin Feng’s strength yet would still reassure people. He had tried his best.

"But this..."

"Alas, Lin Feng is just too young..."

"We all trust the Ancestor, but Lin Feng..."

"Who can believe Lin Feng can withstand the Ancestor of the Li Family..."

"This... this..."

...

Upon hearing Nangong Mingyue say this, the people in the room could only shake their heads helplessly. They knew what Nangong Mingyue was talking about—the Nangong Family had reached this day under the protection of the Ancestor. It was safe to say the Ancestor was the guardian deity of the Nangong Family. How could the guardian deity possibly let the Nangong Family face danger? It was simply inconceivable. At any time, the Ancestor would protect the Nangong Family.

But here lay the problem, and it focused on Lin Feng. Who could believe that a young man in his early twenties could be a match for the Ancestor of the Li Family? That was even less likely. Not just them, but no one in the entire Cultivation World would believe such a thing. The fact that Lin Feng had defeated Nangong Jingyun had already startled them, but to believe that Lin Feng was on the same level as the Ancestor of the Li Family? They’d rather die than believe it.

What a contradiction! They knew the Ancestor would never neglect the safety of the Nangong Family, but they were even more worried about Lin Feng. This was an utterly irreconcilable contradiction. Their heads were already spinning, truly not knowing how to face this situation, anxiously concerned about the fate of the Nangong Family. If Lin Feng could not withstand the Ancestor of the Li Family, then this time, the Nangong Family really was doomed...

Sighs filled the room as everyone expressed their thoughts, and Nangong Mingyue could only utter some vacuous words from the perspective of the Family Head. Under these circumstances, time unknowingly passed, and the roomful of people still hadn’t figured out any clues.

Just then, Nangong Mingyue’s phone rang, interrupting everyone’s discussion. After he listened to the call, his face suddenly brightened, and he spoke to the people in the room.

"I just received news from a confidential source within the Yue Family. Yue Bufan has been defeated by Lin Feng with one move and passed out, whether he is dead or alive is unknown. From what the doctor says, the chances are slim, and the insider also secretly questioned someone who was at the scene, confirming that this is all true. Do you all still have any doubts?"

Nangong Mingyue laughed as she spoke. Just when things were getting tough, the phone call came through, which let Nangong Mingyue breathe a sigh of relief. Even she was deeply shocked by the event, let alone other members of the Nangong Family. They were well aware of Yue Bufan’s strength; by power, he was on par with several elders of the family. Even the Ancestor of the family wouldn’t find it easy to inflict such serious injuries on Yue Bufan. This... this clearly indicated a serious issue.

Moreover, Nangong Mingyue kept a close eye on matters and did not reveal that Lin Feng had severely injured Yue Bufan in just one move. That would have been too shocking. Now, Nangong Mingyue finally understood why the Ancestor trusted Lin Feng so much. Despite never having dealt with Lin Feng, and only hearing from the Old Monster about how formidable Lin Feng was, she never doubted it. The fact that Lin Feng could nearly kill Yue Bufan with one move was proof enough that Lin Feng was far more powerful than the Ancestor, who, even uninjured, couldn’t have achieved this.

"Lin Feng, oh, Lin Feng, how many more surprises are you going to bring to our Nangong Family?" Thinking this, Nangong Mingyue’s heart grew more and more delighted. With Lin Feng here, the chances of the Nangong Family escaping this disaster had greatly increased. This... this was just too good!

"What, this... how is that possible!"

"Yue Bufan... Yue Bufan’s life and death are uncertain because of Lin Feng?"

"This... this... how is that possible!"

"Yue Bufan was seriously injured by Lin Feng?"

"That’s just too incredible!"

"How could Lin Feng be so powerful..."

...

Everyone in the room was stunned upon hearing Nangong Mingyue’s words. They had never expected that just when they were doubting Lin Feng’s capabilities, such an event would occur. This... this was utterly unbelievable! They hadn’t imagined Lin Feng’s power to be so exaggerated!

They knew precisely what level of expert Yue Bufan was. It wouldn’t have been easy for even the elders present, let alone the Ancestor when uninjured, to seriously hurt Yue Bufan. After all, Yue Bufan was already a middle-stage S-level expert, a fact known throughout the Nangong Family. Otherwise, how could they have tolerated Yue Bufan siding with the Li Family until now?

At that level, defeating someone might be possible, but causing serious injuries was another matter. Without a special technique, it was impossible to severely injure the opposition—this was basic common sense in the Cultivation World. As long as one was an expert of the same realm, if they couldn’t beat their opponent, they could still flee, so generally, causing serious injuries was almost impossible!

Thinking along these lines, the people in the room started to ponder another matter. Despite his youth, being just over 20, Lin Feng had already defeated Nangong Jingyun, which was a well-known fact among the Nangong Family. Moreover, Lin Feng had now left Yue Bufan half dead. This certainly proved one thing—that Lin Feng’s current power was indeed exceedingly exaggerated, so much so that they nearly couldn’t believe it. If it weren’t for the fact that reality was right before them, they would never have imagined someone like Lin Feng existing, a cultivator so extraordinary it was unthinkable.

Now, they finally felt they could relax. For them, their lives were linked with the Nangong Family’s fate. In such circumstances, they had to support both the Ancestor and Lin Feng. Since Lin Feng was already so powerful, even more so than the Ancestor, leading the Nangong Family out of their current plight seemed highly likely, which eased their minds considerably, although some worries remained, not as intense as the initial fear.

No wonder the Ancestor so firmly believed Lin Feng was the Nangong Family’s savior. It turned out Lin Feng was truly a super expert, a level of cultivator hard to fathom normally. This... this was simply inconceivable. Just thinking about how young Lin Feng was and how powerful he had become, if given more time, the level Lin Feng might achieve was beyond imagination. Right now, Lin Feng was indeed an anomaly within the Cultivation World, possessing such strength at such a young age was truly defying the heavens...

Upon hearing this, Nangong Pingfeng suddenly felt a chill in his heart. Apart from being shocked by Lin Feng’s strength, he thought of something more—that his earlier plan to attach himself to the Yue Family after the collapse of the Nangong Family seemed impossible now. Yue Bufan had been left half dead by Lin Feng, which meant the Yue Family lacked the power to support themselves. The Yue Family was built around Yue Bufan alone; now... now the Yue Family was definitely in big trouble. What... what should he do then?

Thinking this, Nangong Pingfeng could think of no good solution. Yue Bufan’s injury had effectively closed off his escape route. But to make contact with the Li Family was also impossible. As an Elder of the Nangong Family, he couldn’t just leave Australia like that. Now he was really in a bind. If the Ancestor discovered his intention to betray, and knew he had been signaling to the Yue Family, then he could really be in danger.
