Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 2648: Chapter 2627: What’s Done Is Done

Chapter 2627 Doing It Means Owning It

Seeing this scene, Shen Youwei’s face had already turned extremely ugly. He finally understood why Lin Feng was so arrogant in Lin City—turns out it all came down to strength. Lin Feng possessed power that surpassed the Ancestors of the Prominent Families, so of course he feared nothing. Now, regret was already faintly rising in his heart; had he known Lin Feng’s strength was like this, he would never have acted that way back then.

But now, no matter what he said, it was already too late. Things had blown up to this point, there was no room left to maneuver. All he could do now was hope that person would appear; otherwise, today the Shen Family would step into the abyss...

What kind of strength is this!

Too terrifying!

Too frightening!

...

The seven Family Heads who had been standing in the sky watching the whole time all widened their eyes, unable to believe what lay before them was real. At this moment they finally realized what kind of existence Lin Feng was; fear chilled their hearts, and they were even more grateful for the decisions they had made earlier.

Luan Zhengtang instantly felt cold sweat break out down his back. Luckily he had pulled back in time back then, otherwise today the Shen Family’s outcome would have been the Luan Family’s outcome.

Zhan Hancheng, on the other hand, showed a smile, delighted with his earlier decision to win Lin Feng over. From today on, the Zhan Family would have no more lingering troubles. With Lin Feng standing in Lin City, even if you gave the other Prominent Families a hundred thousand guts, they wouldn’t dare harbor any designs on the Zhan Family. Excellent, excellent indeed!

"My god!"

"Th-this... this is Pavilion Master Lin!"

...

Anyone in Lin City who saw this scene was utterly dumbfounded. One punch had actually crippled the Ancestor of the Shen Family to this extent—what kind of strength was that, too terrifying. They figured that even if the other Ancestors of Lin City joined forces, they still wouldn’t be a match for Lin Feng. This level of power was basically a godlike existence in Lin City!

For a time, doubt filled everyone’s hearts. They couldn’t understand, with strength like this, what Lin Feng was doing in Lin City...

"Still want to fight?"

Standing in mid-air, looking from afar at Shen Wannian, who was a thousand zhang away and utterly miserable, Lin Feng spoke lightly. He didn’t want to kill, but if the other side insisted on seeking death, he wouldn’t hesitate.

"You..."

Hearing Lin Feng’s words, Shen Wannian wanted to respond, but before the words left his mouth, he spurted a mouthful of blood in mid-air. His gaze dimmed in an instant. Just as Lin Feng had said, in his current state he could no longer make a move. Thinking of the consequences that awaited the Shen Family, he felt ten thousand times unwilling in his heart, yet he still wanted to muster his last bit of strength...

Just as Shen Wannian was about to speak, a streak of white light shot up from below into the air. A figure halted at Shen Wannian’s side and said to him, "I’m here. Leave the rest to me."

"Old Ancestor, why have you returned?" Looking at the Qingye Ancestor in white clothes, whose body emitted a gentle aura, Shen Wannian was extremely shocked and cried out in surprise. He hadn’t expected the Qingye Ancestor, who had disappeared for who knew how many years, to appear at this moment. What was going on? When exactly had the Qingye Ancestor come back?

"It’s been too long. I just wanted to come back and take a look." Qingye Ancestor glanced at Shen Wannian and nodded as he spoke. After that, he shifted his gaze to Lin Feng, looking at Lin Feng from afar, the two staring at each other across the void...

This!

Old Ancestor!

Qingye Ancestor!

...

Seeing the Qingye Ancestor appear in the sky, everyone in the Shen Family all stared wide-eyed in shock. In their impression, Shen Qingye had left the family tens of thousands of years ago, and everyone had gradually forgotten that the Shen Family even had such a person, because they simply never considered that he would still be alive. By now, no one even knew how old Shen Qingye was.

Only Shen Youwei flew to the Qingye Ancestor’s side at this moment, bowing deeply and saying respectfully, "Old Ancestor, you’ve come."

He was the only one in the Shen Family who knew Shen Qingye was still alive. This was also his final trump card. The reason he had been so bold before was precisely because he knew the Qingye Ancestor had already returned. As long as the Qingye Ancestor was here, the Shen Family would never have any problems!

"Ancestor Shen."

"Qingye Ancestor."

"..."

...

The heads of the other seven Prominent Families all dropped their jaws, then hastily greeted Shen Qingye one after another. This Qingye Ancestor was an Ancestor from many generations back in the Shen Family; by now he should be the oldest in Lin City. In those years he could be called a legendary figure, his strength was also among the very best in Lin City. How could such a person suddenly appear? He had left Lin City to roam the world ten thousand years ago and had never sent word. His sudden appearance now was truly unexpected.

At this moment they were all grateful that Lin Feng’s strike this time had forced the Qingye Ancestor out. Otherwise, with such a transcendent existence, the threat to the other Prominent Families would be enormous. And now they were even more hopeful that Lin Feng would drive the Shen Family out of Lin City; only then would their own families be somewhat safer.

Shen Qingye ignored everyone’s greetings. He simply looked at Lin Feng from afar, carefully sizing him up. He didn’t know the ins and outs of the matter, but seeing the Shen Family members lying all over the ground, his face instantly darkened. When he saw that Shen Wannian was also injured, he frowned and said to Lin Feng, "Was it necessary to treat the Shen Family like this?"

Though he hadn’t appeared in so many years, he had once been the Shen Family’s Ancestor. Having shown up now, he had to take charge of this matter. He was truly curious about one thing: just when had this young man appeared in Lin City? To possess such strength at such a young age was simply unimaginable. If they wanted today’s affair to be resolved perfectly, it would not be easy.

"My actions are not excessive." Lin Feng replied with a nod. Today, no one would be able to stop him from wiping out the entire Shen Family.

Hearing this, Shen Qingye wasn’t angered, but instead asked Lin Feng, "On what grounds do you say that?"

Once you reach this realm, you generally don’t act unless truly forced. Shen Qingye shook his head. He knew Shen Youwei’s usual style; if it really was the Shen Family’s fault, he would just find a way to resolve it, no need to resort to force.

Lin Feng replied to Shen Qingye, "The Shen Family Patriarch has done far too much to my Holy Pill Pavilion—blocking my customers, maliciously buying up my elixirs, and even plotting something ill against the Holy Pill Pavilion. Tell me, am I being excessive?"

"..."

After listening to Lin Feng, Shen Qingye was choked speechless, unable to utter a single word. He shot Shen Youwei at his side a vicious glare. But even though he now knew the stupid things Shen Youwei had done, he still wouldn’t publicly berate Shen Youwei. He shifted his gaze back to Lin Feng, thought for a moment, and said to Lin Feng, "Could you let the Shen Family go?"

Old Ancestor, this is...?

At this moment, Shen Wannian watched the Qingye Ancestor and Lin Feng talking and was very surprised. The Qingye Ancestor’s attitude toward Lin Feng already said it all—he had clearly placed Lin Feng as an equal. This was something Shen Wannian had never expected. He had never imagined Lin Feng was such an existence. In that instant, he began to worry. If Lin Feng refused, and ended up fighting the Qingye Ancestor, the consequences would truly be unimaginable...

"No." Lin Feng answered directly. Based on what the Shen Family had done before, it was impossible to let them off. Either the Shen Family agreed to leave Lin City, or they would fight it out and decide the victor. There was no second option. He would not leave a hidden danger for the Holy Pill Pavilion.

"Ai..."

Hearing Lin Feng speak like that, the Qingye Ancestor sighed, beginning to weigh how to settle what came next. To be honest, even he wasn’t sure whether he could suppress Lin Feng. If he also lost, the Shen Family would have absolutely no room to recover. Once they left Lin City, the Shen Family...

The other seven Family Heads were all stunned as well. They hadn’t expected the Qingye Ancestor to treat Lin Feng with such an attitude. They were all guessing how the situation would unfold next. If it really came to a fight and Lin Feng defeated the Qingye Ancestor, the situation wouldn’t be good for them. But if the Qingye Ancestor offered certain terms and let the Shen Family escape this calamity, that would be even worse for them!

For a time, all seven Family Heads had splitting headaches. It seemed that no matter how the situation changed next, it would be unfavorable to them...

Seeing that Shen Qingye wasn’t answering him head-on, Lin Feng also said nothing. He simply looked at the Qingye Ancestor, waiting for his reply.

After weighing things over and over, Shen Qingye lowered his head and pondered for a while, then asked Lin Feng, "Daoist Friend, is there really not even a bit of room to turn this around?"

He still wanted to make an attempt, to persuade Lin Feng to spare the Shen Family. After all, at their level, experts usually left some leeway; if there was no mortal, irreconcilable conflict, there was no need to clash.

"Doing it means owning it. A man must take responsibility for what he’s done." Lin Feng remained calm as ever. He didn’t want to give the Shen Family even a shred of a chance. No matter who came to plead, it was useless. He just needed to make this old man in front of him understand his stance; there was no need to say anything else.

Hearing Lin Feng say this, Shen Qingye also nodded. He understood that the Shen Family had indeed been in the wrong first. Treating Lin Feng like this, it was only normal for him not to forgive. Since things had already reached this point, then there was nothing left but a battle. Let the Shen Family’s mistakes be borne by him. He had once been the Shen Family’s Ancestor, and he bore some responsibility for Shen Youwei reaching this point. No matter who won or lost, this battle was inevitable.

Having made up his mind, he said to Lin Feng, "Then let the two of us fight a bout. Only, the battlefield cannot be here. If you defeat me, my Shen Family will immediately leave Lin City and never return."

In truth, the Qingye Ancestor was making this decision with great helplessness. In a battle against Lin Feng, he had no confidence of victory. But the Shen Family’s dignity, the Shen Family’s legacy, could not be abandoned so lightly. As the only one in the Shen Family who could oppose Lin Feng, he had no choice but to step forward.

Lin Feng nodded at these words and flew toward the outskirts of Lin City. Shen Qingye saw this and followed Lin Feng away.

Seeing Lin Feng and Shen Qingye fly off, the heads of the other seven Prominent Families knew they had to find out how this great battle would end. This was extremely important to the Seven Great Families. Right now, they still didn’t know Shen Qingye’s true strength. No matter which of the two won or lost, it would not be a good thing for them.

But such a battle could not be missed. After all, a clash between experts of this level was far too rare. They all hurriedly followed after.
