Extreme Almightiest Young Master-Chapter 1712 - 1694: The Sect Master’s Wives’ Scheme
"Thank you, human, I can finally be free." The voice of the small sapling was now full of excitement, having been suppressed for countless years, it could finally grow prosperously. It was truly grateful to this human before it.
"No problem, it’s mutually beneficial." Lin Feng smiled and said simply, then waved his hand and used his Space Ring to collect all the Seven Stars Stones here.
Just as Lin Feng had put away the Seven Stars Stones, suddenly a tree root emerged from deep underground, bringing up something that looked like a pitch-black apple, directly presenting it to Lin Feng, leaving him stunned, unable to understand its meaning.
"This is my child, you take it back and plant it. Through it, you can communicate with me, and when it grows to a certain extent, you can use it to come to me as well." The voice of the small sapling appeared again, explaining to Lin Feng, then the ground trembled again, and several tree roots appeared in front of Lin Feng carrying various items.
"These are gifts I give to you. I don’t have many things; they are what the humans who fought here left behind when they died before. It’s just right to give them to you now."
Upon seeing the items in front of him, Lin Feng was momentarily stunned: a blood-red sword, an object resembling a qin, a pitch-black medicinal cauldron, and a long weapon that looked like an axe. Although there were only four items, each exuded a thick aura of the Ancient Era; even if not Innate Spirit Treasures, they were definitely the top Dharma Treasures of the Ancient Era!
At this moment, Lin Feng finally understood one thing: super powerhouses from the Ancient Era had been here, yet why they fell here, no one knew. But he could confirm one thing more: this small sapling was definitely not ordinary and perhaps had an unexpected function.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng didn’t hesitate to use the Space Ring to store the four Dharma Treasures, then said to the small sapling, "Send me back."
The previous passage had been sealed during the recent tremor, and now the only way to leave was via the small sapling. As soon as Lin Feng’s words fell, there was another loud rumbling, and then a passage appeared. Lin Feng followed this passage to leave.
Just as he walked out a short distance, he heard the small sapling’s voice again. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
"Fated one, we will meet again in the future, and maybe you will be surprised then." The voice of the small sapling had just reached Lin Feng’s heart when the passage sealed itself.
Lin Feng then proceeded along the passage, discovering that he was already at the foot of the mountain, and the passage through which he exited had completely sealed itself. He couldn’t help but marvel at the extraordinary creations of heaven and earth; this was the Heavenly Dao, where humans could cultivate, demon beasts could cultivate, and even vegetation could cultivate!
I wonder how those two guys are doing!
Lin Feng suddenly remembered something: the two demon immortals were still digging for Seven Stars Stones. He wondered how they were doing, and with this thought, he took to the sky and flew directly towards the mountainside. But before Li Fangneng could arrive, he saw the two demon immortals coming out of the cave in a disheveled state.
With a smile at the corner of his mouth, Lin Feng moved and appeared beside the two demon immortals, asking them, "What’s wrong?"
"Boss, don’t mention it. Just now, we don’t know what happened, it was like an earthquake, scaring me and Old Black into quickly rushing out. If we had been buried there, even as skilled as Old Black and I are, we wouldn’t have been able to escape." The Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon recalled the scene with a pale face and said; he was truly terrified, and thinking back, it was chilling.
But just after speaking, the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon realized something: Lin Feng did not leave before them, yet he seemed to be waiting here for a long time. What was going on? Staring straight at Li Fangneng, though not speaking, his attitude was evident.
Similarly, the Dark Flame Sky-Burning Tiger, carrying the unconscious Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf, also looked at Lin Feng with a surprised expression. It didn’t notice Lin Feng exiting and wondered when and how Lin Feng got out. That place was so small, if Lin Feng exited why didn’t he greet them?
"I came out from another place, let’s go." Lin Feng looked at the two demon immortals with a calm smile, not explaining much, and prepared to leave.
But before Lin Feng could leave, he heard the voices of the two demon immortals.
"Boss, we didn’t get much of the Seven Stars Stones."
"Those Seven Stars Stones are too difficult to obtain, how about we wait for a while and go back in to get more?"
The Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon and the Dark Flame Sky-Burning Tiger were truly embarrassed now, together they only managed to collect forty or fifty stones, feeling it was too few...
"It’s okay, wake it up, we’ll go elsewhere." Lin Feng smiled and instructed them directly. The number of Seven Stars Stones was already sufficient; his Space Ring was almost piled into a small mountain with them. So, there was no need to get more; now, he was curious about the other three perilous places within this Secret Realm.
Upon hearing Lin Feng say so, the two demon immortals stopped talking, promptly waking up the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf, and after interrogating it, together headed to the next location...
...
When Lin Feng was in the Secret Realm, the events happening at the Holy Wind Sect were giving Xia Yuntian a terrible headache.
The Holy Wind Sect had been too domineering these days, causing dissatisfaction among many other sects. Although they were reluctantly brought into the Holy Wind Sect, they were two-faced, showing one attitude externally and another inwardly. They basically perfunctorily carried out orders from the Holy Wind Sect, with some even openly rejecting commands.
Originally, following Lin Feng’s suggestion, Xia Yuntian intended to kill a few of the most rebellious individuals to set an example and intimidate the rest. However, what he did not expect was that the number of rebels grew, and he couldn’t kill them all. Once Lin Feng returned, he wouldn’t be able to explain his actions.
Out of utter desperation, he had no choice but to consult Xia Yan and Song Hong for help.
When they learned about the situation, both Xia Yan and Song Hong frowned in confusion, wondering why people were causing trouble when they had such good prospects within the Holy Wind Sect. Suddenly, Xia Yan thought of something: this situation definitely did not occur by chance. Someone must be organizing this chaos from behind the scenes!
"Yuntian, haven’t you investigated who is inciting these people?" Xia Yan asked, feeling increasingly that things were likely just as he suspected. Otherwise, such chaos wouldn’t have erupted.
"I also believe that’s likely the case; there must be some force behind this. Otherwise, such a scenario shouldn’t have occurred," Song Hong voiced his opinion from the side.
"Two elders, I also thought of this possibility and secretly sent people to investigate, but with no leads at all. These individuals are from various sects with no apparent connection, and avoiding detection while coordinating is incredibly difficult. But it’s happening. I’m worried that if this continues, it could lead to even more severe consequences."
Xia Yan, utterly helpless, said he had considered this issue and investigated but found nothing. He also wanted to understand what was really happening.
Hearing Xia Yan’s words, the two elders exchanged glances and fell silent, each pondering. Xia Yan stood by, waiting for their decision.
After an hour, Xia Yan finally spoke: "My suggestion is to arrest all the troublemakers for now without killing them, and wait for Lin Feng to return before dealing with them."
Xia Yan was out of options. If they killed everyone, it would cause even greater turmoil, making matters worse. He even suspected that a greater power, aiming to overthrow the Holy Wind Sect, might be behind these individuals. If that were true, things would indeed be terrible!
"I have another suggestion: you may want to consult the Sect Master’s wives; they might have a solution," Song Hong nodded at Xia Yan’s words, acknowledging it as the best approach for now. He then suddenly remembered Ding Wan’er and the others—these women were not ordinary. Perhaps by considering the issue from another perspective, they might find a resolution.
"Elders, I will take my leave now," Xia Yuntian said, nodding at the elders’ words before promptly heading to find Ding Wan’er.
Upon arriving at the Wendao Pavilion, Ding Wan’er and the other women were cultivating. They were surprised by Xia Yuntian’s visit. Upon learning about the current troubles within the Holy Wind Sect, their expressions turned grim. Lin Feng had only just left, and already such a mess had erupted, suggesting someone must be orchestrating things from behind.
After a discussion, they evaluated the feasibility of different approaches and finally settled on a viable method.
"Our method for this situation is as follows..." Ding Wan’er shared the discussed plan with Xia Yuntian, immediately causing his eyes to light up!
The method Ding Wan’er proposed was quite unique. It didn’t focus on stopping the issue from escalating; instead, it suggested letting things unfold naturally. She believed that, thinking the Holy Wind Sect wouldn’t interfere, these people would eventually contact each other, bringing the truth to light. Once the forces or individuals behind this came forward, everything would be revealed, allowing those deceived to see the grave mistake they had made.
At that point, if anyone violated sect rules, they should be executed immediately. If not, no action was needed. The key wasn’t to suppress the situation but to root out those causing the trouble. Only then could such incidents be thoroughly prevented in the future.
"This idea is brilliant!"
Xia Yuntian exclaimed in amazement. As the Family Head of the Xia Family, he naturally understood how feasible the women’s plan was. The most crucial part was that it would be executed without any bloodshed, making it difficult for the opponent to detect. This way, uncovering the truth would be much easier.
"The affairs of the Sect are our own. If there’s a problem, you can come to us again. While we women might not excel in combat, we can certainly offer suggestions," Ding Wan’er said with a smile, looking at Xia Yuntian. These women were all highly intelligent, capable of serving as a think tank. Besides, with Lin Feng absent, it was natural for them to help manage sect affairs.
"Ladies of the Sect Master, I will now attend to this matter," Xia Yuntian nodded and, after bidding farewell to Ding Wan’er and the others, left.
