# Chapter 1982: Lin Feng's Helpers
The Saint Emperors of the Four Great Ancient Saint Clans had all left, yet they did not return to their clans. Instead, they stood like four statues outside the War King Academy, causing everyone entering or leaving the academy to feel an oppressive force. Four Saint Emperors, actually stationed outside the War King Academy—the suffocating pressure they exerted was unimaginable.
Lin Feng had clearly not anticipated such a situation. The fact that they could detect Ji Qingsong's death, and that they knew he was together with Old Man Xiao and Xiao Ya, was simply beyond belief.
Moreover, the Four Great Ancient Saint Clans had joined forces, with four Saint Emperor-level powerful beings pressing down on them. Such a display was also far beyond Lin Feng's expectations.
"Everyone, disperse," the Slaying Heaven Ancestor said at this moment, waving his hand at the surrounding crowd. He then brought Lin Feng to the waterfall clearing and said, "Lin Feng, the Four Great Ancient Saint Clans are acting together, and their purpose goes without saying—it's likely for your Heavenly Derivation Scripture. However, you've given them an excuse to act. How did they come to know about your relationship with Xiao Wutian and your assassination of Ji Qingsong?"
"Ancestor, these matters were all done in secret. There's no way they could know. Also, when I was with Old Man Xiao, he said he sensed someone watching. Logically, this shouldn't have happened either. If they truly had such ability, Old Man Xiao wouldn't have escaped the Ying Clan's pursuit back then," Lin Feng said, unable to understand, his expression puzzled.
The Slaying Heaven Ancestor's eyes flickered with thought. This matter was indeed suspicious.
"Old fellow, is it possible they hired someone from the He Family?" the Profound Heaven Ancestor asked the Slaying Heaven Ancestor, causing the latter's pupils to contract. He nodded and said, "It's possible. The Four Great Ancient Saint Clans have joined forces for the Heavenly Derivation Scripture. They might indeed pay the price to hire someone from the He Family. Besides, the Ying Clan originally wanted to capture and kill Xiao Wutian."
"It seems these four families are all determined this time. This is troublesome," the Slaying Heaven Ancestor murmured, causing Lin Feng to feel a powerful oppressive force rising within him. The Four Great Ancient Saint Clans—such power was something he simply couldn't contend with at his current level.
"Lin Feng, don't leave the academy for now. Even if the Four Great Ancient Saint Clans apply pressure, they won't dare to take someone inside the academy. We'll think of a countermeasure," the Slaying Heaven Ancestor instructed Lin Feng. Lin Feng nodded. This was all he could do for now. Relying on his own strength, he was far too insignificant before the Four Great Ancient Saint Clans—utterly negligible.
News spread that the Saint Emperor-level experts of the Four Great Ancient Saint Clans had joined forces to go to the War King Academy to capture Lin Feng. Instantly, the entire Holy City Central Continent was in an uproar. This was far too dramatic—four Saint Emperor-level powerhouses pressing down together. No single person could withstand such pressure. In the Holy City Central Continent, probably only the academy could hold firm under such pressure.
When Yin Rui of the Silver Clan received this news, he felt an invisible suffocating pressure surge in his heart. Had his decision been wrong? He had tacitly approved of Yin Yue and Lin Wushang's relationship, leading to Yin Yue being taken away by Lin Wushang to an unknown location. And now, the Four Great Ancient Saint Clans were joining forces to capture Lin Feng. He naturally understood what this meant. For Lin Feng, this was definitely doomsday. The fact that the Saint Emperors of the Four Great Ancient Saint Clans were acting simultaneously showed how strong their resolve was—they would not give up.
Yin Rui stood in a courtyard of the Silver Clan, gazing into the distance, a hint of confusion in his eyes. If the Four Great Ancient Saint Clans truly succeeded in capturing Lin Feng and obtaining the Heavenly Derivation Scripture, it would be a massive blow to his Silver Clan.
"This time, the War King Academy's genius Lin Feng is probably finished."
Many people in the Holy City Central Continent thought to themselves. In the Central Continent, the relationships between various major powers were complex and intertwined. The four academies were locked in conflict, each displaying their sharpness. The ancient saint clans appeared restrained but had unfathomable foundations. Now that the four ancient saint clans had joined forces, the pressure on the War King Academy was easy to imagine. If they didn't hand over Lin Feng, the Four Great Ancient Saint Clans would not let the matter rest. Every day they delayed would be a blow to the War King Academy's reputation. Many juniors would instinctively choose to enroll in other academies instead of the War King Academy. If this continued long-term, it would definitely lead to the academy's decline.
Moreover, the Four Great Ancient Saint Clans all had justifications, finding excuses and insisting that the War King Academy hand over Lin Feng. Unless the War King Academy truly dared to declare war on all four ancient saint clans simultaneously, the Four Great Ancient Saint Clans could keep dragging the War King Academy down indefinitely.
The members of the Heavenly Terrace had all returned to the academy one after another, each one extremely angry. They hadn't expected the Four Great Ancient Saint Clans to be so shameless, joining forces for the Heavenly Derivation Scripture and even dispatching Saint Emperor-level existences.
"This can't go on. Lin Feng can't stay in the academy forever without going out. Besides, who knows what the Four Great Ancient Saint Clans might do next," Lin Feng and the other core disciples gathered together. These were all brothers of the Heavenly Terrace, his closest people, assembled in one place. Yet they all felt powerless—these were the ancient saint clans, and four of them at that.
"The Four Great Ancient Saint Clans doing this is absolutely detrimental to the War King Academy. Right now, the entire Holy City Central Continent is watching this."
"Grandfather, I'll return to the tribe and bring our tribe's experts to the Holy City Central Continent. Together with Xiao Wutian and the academy, we'll fight them head-on," Tantai said very unhappily. He hadn't expected back then that Lin Feng was acquainted with his tribe's legendary figure, Xiao Wutian.
"Having the War King Academy declare war on the Four Great Ancient Saint Clans—the pressure the academy would have to bear is too great," Yun Qingyan said slowly. After all, there were four academies in the Holy City Central Continent. If the War King Academy made one wrong move, it might decline from then on. They couldn't even predict what stance the other three academies would take, but at least they could be certain they wouldn't support the War King Academy.
"Then how do we resolve this situation?" Tantai asked urgently. If the academy didn't go all out to protect Lin Feng, Lin Feng would be in trouble.
"Perhaps the academy is discussing this matter right now," Yun Qingyan said softly.
"Whoosh!" A whistling sound came from afar. Several figures were approaching. A divine bird, the Golden Crow, was bathed in flames, its body enormous. Beside it, the Suanni and the Azure Phoenix flashed over, as fast as lightning, landing here in an instant, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"Azure Phoenix, you're back," Yun Qingyan smiled and stepped forward. The Azure Phoenix nodded, her gaze falling on Lin Feng. "I heard about the situation in the Holy City Central Continent, so I came back."
Some time ago, the Azure Phoenix and the Golden Crow had returned to the Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital and hadn't been back to the War King Academy for a long time. Now, at Lin Feng's time of crisis, they had appeared again.
"The Demon Realm will come to assist," the Golden Crow said, transforming into human form and stepping forward. His gaze was still as sharp as ever, with flames flickering in his pupils, as if they would never be extinguished.
"I'll have to trouble you seniors again," Lin Feng said, his gaze falling on the Azure Phoenix. She looked at him and said, "You can also inform the academy side, tell them about the power we possess. That way, the academy will have more confidence."
"But it's still not enough," Yun Qingyan said, frowning. She had naturally heard of the Demon Realm of the Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital. The three brothers of the Demon Realm were all terrifying great demonic beasts, but facing the Four Great Ancient Saint Clans, they were still at a disadvantage.
"Lin Feng," at this moment, Meng Qing walked over from the side, a faint smile in her beautiful eyes. She said, "Lin Feng, the Ancient Realm Clan has agreed to act."
"The Ancient Realm Clan?" Lin Feng's expression froze for a moment, then he heard Meng Qing nod and say, "En, I spent many years in the Ancient Realm Clan and am familiar with some of the seniors there. I contacted them and told them about the situation in the Holy City Central Continent. They agreed to help us."
"Excellent! The Ancient Realm Clan is a very ancient and mysterious clan, powerful and profound. It's said that their ancestors once created realms during their glorious period. After being in seclusion for so many years, now that Langxie, the King Body of the Ancient Realm Clan, has come out to explore, they are finally willing to come out and move around. They will probably make a stunning debut," Tantai said, his eyes sharp and excited. The Demon Realm, the Ancient Realm Clan, plus Xiao Wutian—even without the tribe's help, they might be able to persuade the War King Academy to declare war on the Four Great Ancient Saint Clans.
"En, the Ancient Realm Clan is indeed a terrifying force. They've been dormant for so many years. Since they want to come out and move around, they will definitely want to shake the entire Holy City Central Continent, making others remember the Ancient Realm Clan, this ancient race," Yun Qingyan nodded in agreement. The Ancient Realm Clan, this mysterious and powerful ancient clan, had been gone for too long. Since they were coming out, they clearly had enough foundation.
This was undoubtedly good news for Lin Feng. A trace of gratitude welled up in his heart. He hadn't expected the Ancient Realm Clan to be willing to help him. This way, with the Demon Realm, the Ancient Realm Clan, and the War King Academy, even the Four Great Ancient Saint Clans would have to back off.
