Chapter 1320

"Wonderful, husband, you have now obtained the inheritance of that ancient Dou Emperor strongman, and also gained an extra vortex, granting you the strange ability to cultivate two techniques at once. In that case, once your power rises, we won't have to fear that Soul Heaven Emperor and Gu Yuan."

After the shock, Xin Lan instantly leapt up excitedly, her jade‑like hands clenched into fists, trembling with excitement as she said.

After all, being caught between that Soul Heaven Emperor and Gu Yuan, the hard days of struggling to survive, she has had enough.

Facing attacks that could arrive at any moment, they have to live each day with constant dread.

They try to minimize their presence as much as possible, fearing that those two peak Dou Saint strongmen might, by a slip, notice them and then attack, eliminating the potential threat.

That feeling truly is unbearable!

When Xin Lan said that, the pretty faces of the other girls also burst with strong delight.

After all, if it's our own man, he could crush those two—Soul Heaven Emperor and Gu Yuan—in one go.

Then the days ahead wouldn't have to be so cautious.

"Alright, stop just being happy; although the inheritance of that ancient strongman is impressive, it can't solve our current problem."

Seeing the girls' over‑excited expressions, Lin Feng sighed helplessly, then said bitterly: "I already told you, on the Gu Nanfang Dalu there is a Dou Emperor‑level strongman about to break free. Right now, I still don't know how to deal with her."

With those words, the girls who had been excited instantly fell pale.

Indeed, those two—Soul Heaven Emperor and Gu Yuan—are currently the peak strongmen on the continent, no doubt.

But in the shadows, there are even stronger enemies!

And the most frustrating thing is that this enemy will emerge onto the Dou Qi Continent in a few years to cause trouble.

Moreover, our own family is still the biggest enemy to those people.

This trouble, they can't ignore even if they don't want to!

Thinking of this, the women's gazes all turned grim.

"We'd better stop pondering this, do our part and leave the rest to fate. Our most important task now is to go to the Gu Nanfang Dalu to gather cultivation resources, boost our strength as much as possible, and face what comes next in the strongest possible stance."

After a long silence, Cai Lin immediately stood up, her beautiful eyes firm as she said.

"Sister Cai Lin is right; even if we think a lot now, it's useless. Rather than waste time here, we should boost our strength as much as possible and meet the upcoming events in the strongest stance!"

As soon as the former finished speaking, Qing Lin clenched her small hand, also looking firmly at Lin Feng and the other girls.

Hearing this, Lin Feng also nodded in agreement and said, "Indeed, now, even if we think more here it's useless; we'd be better off doing something practical."

At this point, he immediately looked at the girls and said, "Now, Cai Lin, go have Han Su gather all the concubines who have reached Dou Saint level, then join us to collect resources on the Gu Nanfang Dalu."

Upon hearing that, Cai Lin lightly nodded, then turned and darted toward the distance.

Lin Feng watched Cai Lin's swiftly disappearing alluring figure, and began calculating his family's strength in his mind.

Now, I am an Eight‑Star Mid‑Stage Dou Saint, the strongest.

Below that are the Eight‑Star Early‑Stage Dou Saint Xiao Yixian, and Cai Lin, who just entered Eight‑Star Dou Saint with the help of the Eight‑Star Dou Saint demon core Lin Feng gave.

Excluding those, the strongest overall is likely Qing Lin, a Six‑Star Peak Dou Saint who also possesses an Emperor‑realm soul.

Because of the blessing of the Azure Snake Three‑Pupils, her soul attacks far surpass those of peers.

Moreover, against demonic beasts, Qing Lin's soul attacks, empowered by the Azure Snake Three‑Pupils—a bizarre physique that specifically counters snake‑type demonic beasts—are astonishingly powerful.

After all, while the Azure Snake Three‑Pupils suppress snake‑type demonic beasts, they also have some effect—more or less—on other types of demonic beasts.

Therefore, when fighting demonic beasts, Qing Lin has a clear advantage.

Lin Feng thinks that beneath Qing Lin, the strongest in his family are the two women, Feng Er and Zi Yan.

After all, both of them are Seven‑Star Dou Saints and each possesses the demonic‑beast‑ruling Supreme Dragon‑Phoenix Physique.

With the bloodline power boost from such demonic‑beast supremacy, their actual combat strength is not to be underestimated!

Below Feng Er and Zi Yan are Dan Ta Sanmei and Yun Yun.

These four women have not yet broken through to Six‑Star Dou Saint; their Dou Qi strength is low, and they lack any unusual physique or talent.

Therefore, in a fight, they naturally aren't as good as the ones mentioned earlier.

Of course, if Zhao Ran is counted as well, she would be the lowest in this family.

After all, her strength is even weaker than the four women above!

As for Xiao Ling and Xiao Jiu, Lin Feng hasn't included them yet.

Thus, although they aren't weak, they haven't made it onto the list.

"It seems that later we need those concubines to obtain cultivation resources for Cai Lin and Xiao Yixian; as for Ying Er and the other two, let those three help themselves improve a bit first."

Lin Feng, thinking that Ying Er and the other two currently have low strength, quickly formed an idea.

After all, Cai Lin is a demonic beast; she can have Zhao Ran or the already‑promoted Dou Saint Xuan Yi refine those spirit plants and give them directly to Cai Lin to eat, thus increasing strength.

As for Xiao Yixian, as long as she can find poisons for her, she can herself concoct and take the poison, so no one else needs to worry.

While Lin Feng was pondering, a massive sound of breaking through the sky suddenly came from the distant horizon.

Immediately after, dozens of figures shot through the sky from afar, abruptly stopping before Lin Feng and the others.

Startled by the distant sky‑breaking sounds, Lin Feng instantly looked up toward the heavens.

However, when he realized that more than sixty people in front of him had already become Dou Saints, he muttered to himself, "It seems that Ying Er and the others have already raised my concubines to the Dou Saint realm."

Thinking of this, Lin Feng let out a slight sigh of relief.

After all, earlier he had only dual‑cultivated with about thirty of them, and the remaining thirty‑plus have also advanced to Five‑Star Dou Saint.

Based on that previous experience, after absorbing the Dou Qi of those remaining thirty‑plus concubines, his strength should receive a considerable boost.

And thinking that his own strength could also improve, Lin Feng couldn't help but feel delighted.

While the former was delighted that the remaining concubines' strength had improved, after the more than sixty concubines steadied themselves, they immediately, under Han Su's guidance, bowed to Lin Feng; the latter, upon hearing this, also gave a slight nod, then raised a hand and, with a faint smile, said, "No need for such formalities."

Lin Feng raised his palm, and immediately a gentle force lifted his concubines up.

After doing that, he didn't waste words but directly said: "I summoned you this time because in the south of the continent I discovered an extraordinary ancient ruin. After my personal exploration, I have already opened up a safe area."

"Moreover, inside that ruin, high-level cultivation resources are extremely abundant, and various strange treasures that can boost Dou Sheng strength are everywhere. Now I decide to lead people to explore and continue developing that ruin. You may choose to follow me there; any gains require handing over seventy percent, with the remaining thirty percent yours to decide. Of course, if you don't wish to go, I won't force you—you can continue staying in the Forest Realm to attend to affairs."

Having said that, Lin Feng swept his gaze over the concubines before him and continued: "Of course, although that ruin abounds in high-level cultivation resources, it is equally fraught with danger. Although I have built a relatively safe zone, venturing out to gather cultivation resources also carries the risk of death, so you must think it through carefully."

"Now, if anyone does not wish to go, you may step aside and continue living in the Forest Realm; this operation is entirely voluntary, not a test, and you need not worry that I will hold a grudge—just follow your own heart."

After finishing a brief overview of the Gu Nanfang Dalu, Lin Feng pointed to the empty sky beside him, then turned his gaze to the women before him, awaiting their reply.

"An ancient ruin?!"

As soon as those words were spoken, the concubines' expressions instantly changed; after a moment of stunned silence, they began discussing among themselves.

Even Han Su was the same.

After all, as a mature woman, her thoughts were naturally sharper; she knew her husband didn't like them asking the same question twice.

Therefore, after the former finished speaking, she did not foolishly ask again whether the ancient ruin truly had a safe foothold, but instead directly discussed with the other sisters whether to go.

Moreover, her husband himself had said earlier that he too would go.

Han Su simply didn't believe her husband would joke with his own life.

Thus, there was no need to ask that question further.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Shortly after the discussion, several concubines swiftly flew out and then stood in the sky to one side, silent.

Obviously, they were preparing to venture into that ancient ruin.

After all, not everyone in this world enjoys venturing into ruins for adventure and seeking opportunities to reach a higher realm.

However, such thinking is, after all, only a minority.

Of the sixty-six concubines before Lin Feng, only five ultimately chose to withdraw.

After all, most of them understood that if they lacked ability, although Lin Feng promised that their sons would enjoy the same treatment as those wives' children.

But due to the mothers' low strength and status, they ultimately could not compare to those wives' children.

For among those wives of her husband, there are several high-ranking alchemy masters.

They can privately exchange cultivation resources for their sons and share the refining of pills.

But they themselves, lacking ability, can only wait with open mouths for their husband to feed them regularly.

Going on like this, even if they had children, they would never have a chance to rise.

Therefore, whether for their descendants or themselves, they all wanted to venture into that ancient ruin.

"Since you've all made your decision, those unwilling to go should stay in the Forest Realm to guard the home. As for the others, you will go with me to the Medicine Realm, then pass through the spatial conduit to the ruin's entrance."

Soon after, seeing that they had made their choice, Lin Feng then spoke.

As soon as his words fell, he waved his palm and opened a spatial conduit leading to the Medicine Clan.

After all, the Forest Realm and Medicine Realm had long been linked by him, so this spatial conduit was readily available.

"Swish! Swish!"

As soon as Lin Feng opened the spatial conduit, Cai Lin and several other women immediately took the lead and flew into the dark passage.

After all, they are the superiors of these concubines; naturally they should take the lead at such a moment.

The remaining sixty-one concubines who had chosen to go to the Gu Nanfang Dalu, seeing this, immediately activated their forms and swiftly followed, entering the spatial conduit.

Among these sixty-one, naturally included was Han Su.

After all, as the leader elected internally by the concubines, how could she possibly choose to retreat at such a time?

"You keep watch here; if Zhao Ran returns, let her go to the Medicine Realm, and naturally someone will be there to meet her."

Seeing those people completely disappear into the spatial conduit, Lin Feng immediately turned his head to the remaining five concubines who had chosen not to go to the ruin and instructed them.

"Yes, husband."

Hearing that, the five women immediately lowered their heads weakly, their voices somewhat hollow.

After all, although the husband said he didn't mind their not going to the ruin, they still couldn't help but worry.

And Lin Feng, seeing this, helplessly shook his head.

How could he possibly fail to see the worries in those women's hearts?

Immediately afterward, he waved his palm, and battle qi swiftly condensed in the sky into a large hand that embraced the five top‑beauty women and brought them before him.

Then he stretched out his head and lightly touched each of their vermilion lips, afterward comforting: "Rest assured, I said I wouldn't be angry with you, and I won't be."

"If you're still uneasy, just give me a blessing, and then you'll be at ease."

While speaking, Lin Feng patted the five women's heads.

The five concubines suppressed by a force suddenly had their lovely cheeks flush with emotion.

Thinking of this, the five women were.

After a long time, the five women again stood up and then sensibly stepped back a few paces.

After all, they also knew their husband had to go handle affairs at that ruin.

As for Lin Feng, seeing the five women so obedient and sensible, he also nodded in approval.

"You stay here to guard the home; your other sisters are still in the Medicine Realm waiting for me to go together to the ruin, so for now I cannot accompany you."

As soon as his words fell, Lin Feng did not linger, turned, and shot into the spatial conduit in the sky, disappearing quickly within.

Immediately afterward, that spatial conduit, in the five women's reluctant gaze, slowly faded away.

Thereafter, the torn space also returned to its original state.
