Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law

Buf Zheng had lived for half his life and naturally understood what his junior from the Outer Sect intended to do next. However, he couldn't be bothered, as he had always preferred to steer clear of mundane matters. What truly concerned him was another dimension; had his junior not pleaded earnestly and reminded him of a favor owed, Buf Zheng would never have lifted a finger against a junior. By this time, Tang Bai was hurtling through the air at high speed. Initially heading east, he soon realized something was amiss and abruptly came to a stop. "No, given my identity and the current situation, I can't make a move, or I would fail to live up to it," Tang Bai muttered with a wry smile before rapidly changing direction towards the west. As he continued his swift flight, Tang Bai contemplated which Sect to approach, quickly deciding on the Holy Mansion of Confucian Sect. Of the Nine Great Sects, they harbored the deepest grudges and most eagerly sought Ye Feng's death. To Tang Bai's utter surprise, after flying for half an hour, he encountered two groups of people. These were the same two groups from the Flora Sect and Underworld Sect that previously set out with grandiose intentions to kill Ye Feng. The Deputy Sect Masters of the Flora and Underworld Sects had made a solemn promise in front of their Sects to eliminate Ye Feng no matter what. However, after hearing about the Xuan Yin Sect's predicament, they were petrified on the spot and turned back to their Sect without a second thought. But returning in such a disheveled state without completing their mission, both Deputy Sect Masters were reluctant, hence they were dragging their feet, slowing their pace in hopes of coming up with a suitable excuse en route. At dusk, as fate would have it, Tang Bai was passing by. After scrutinizing the forces led by the two Deputy Sect Masters, he couldn't help but chuckle—this was like the answer to his prayers. While both Deputy Sect Masters were only at the Half-Step Divine Ability Realm and somewhat below Tang Bai's level, Tang Bai felt confident that persuading them to act would be more than enough, considering Ye Feng was already gravely injured. After some contemplation, he swooped down. When he descended, a black mist suddenly materialized on Tang Bai's face, obscuring his true features. Given his unique identity, he could not allow others to recognize him. "Who goes there?" both Deputy Sect Masters from the Flora Sect and Underworld Sect immediately sensed something amiss and called out their challenges defensively. Tang Bai stood atop an ancient tree without descending and snorted disdainfully, "You two lack backbone. Spooked by mere news, you've already become such cowards, and yet you claim to be Deputy Sect Masters of Sects of Ancient Martial Arts!" Both Deputy Sect Master were simultaneously embarrassed and angry, but they dared not to retort, sensing that the newcomer's cultivation surpassed their own, potentially even beyond the Divine Ability Realm. "May I ask which hallowed figure stands before us?" inquired the Flora Sect's Deputy Sect Master. Tang Bai scoffed, "You need not know who I am. You are not worthy to ask. All you need to understand is that Ye Feng is severely injured and fleeing towards the Northern Border." "Ye Feng is seriously injured?" Both Deputy Sect Masters felt a surge of joy, but quickly became suspicious, "Although you claim this, Senior, how are we to believe you?" "I knew you'd ask that. I am the one who wounded Ye Feng, but due to my status, I can't kill him directly!" With a cold voice from Tang Bai, his gaze shifted, and he sent out a black Wind Blade. Suddenly, with a thunderous roar, a hill before them exploded on impact. "Is this… Divine Skills?" The Flora Sect's Deputy Sect Master was shocked to pale. "No, this isn't Divine Skills. It's even more formidable than that. This man—stronger even than the Sect Master of the Underworld Sect—do you mean to say, Senior, that you are one of the fabled great powers of the Sacred Boundary?" the Underworld Sect's Deputy Sect Master exclaimed in awe. Without answering directly, Tang Bai snorted, "Now you should believe me. Ye Feng is taking the road from Ten-mile Slope to the North Border. If you are fast enough, you might catch him before he reaches the heartlands!" After exchanging glances, both Deputy Sect Masters from the Flora Sect and the Underworld Sect said in unison, "Thank you, Senior, for the information. We will set out immediately!" Even as they spoke, Tang Bai had vanished from the ancient tree, coming and going without a trace. With their Half-Step Divine Ability Realm powers, they couldn't detect his movements at all. "It's unthinkable. Ye Feng is gravely wounded! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. All listen, those above the Third Realm of the Divine Path follow me; the rest stay put!" After deciding on a direction, the two Deputy Sect Masters led a group of about thirty men, flying low and swiftly towards the Northeast. As the sun set and the night deepened, a desolate and quiet small town in the eastern part of the Western Territory was completely engulfed in darkness, with only the occasional bark of a dog heard. Inside a guesthouse room, Ye Feng was sitting cross-legged on the bed, meditating to pass the time, while Hong Qingyan sat in solitude cultivating. Xiao Chuanqi and Sima Zhantian were on guard in the courtyard, and as for the army, Ye Feng had already sent Leng Wuming ahead to return to the Northern Border. Suddenly, Ye Feng's ears twitched. His powerful Divine Stone immediately sensed dozens of potent auras rapidly approaching the town. Opening his eyes, he chuckled softly, "It seems I wasn't wrong. They've indeed come after all." Hong Qingyan's face betrayed her worry, and Ye Feng, seeing this, couldn't help but smile and ask, "Why, are you worried?" Hong Qingyan nodded. Ye Feng said, "No need to worry, the ones coming are just practitioners from the Divine Path Realm, there's no need to fear them." Hong Qingyan let out a soft sigh and said, "Big Brother Ye, what worries me isn't the people who have come but rather the person behind the scenes. As you've rightly predicted, this now clearly shows that Tang Bai has intervened and even harbors intentions to kill you." Ye Feng was slightly taken aback upon hearing this and then said, "Are you worried about Tang Bai?" Hong Qingyan nodded and said, "Exactly. After all, Tang Bai is a Saint Realm powerhouse exceeding the Divine Path Realm. If it were only Tang Bai alone, there wouldn't be much to fear. What matters is that behind him stands the entire Bu Family Ancient Clan. Plus, since you've defeated Bu Tianyun, you've unintentionally foiled the Bu Family Ancient Clan's plans. I'm afraid that after today, the clash between you and the Bu Family Ancient Clan will become irreconcilable." Ye Feng laughed and said confidently, "Don't worry, I have a plan in mind. What about the Bu Family Ancient Clan? If he doesn't trouble me, then all is well, but should he continue to be unwise, one day I must pay them a visit!" Hong Qingyan fell silent, knowing her husband all too well. Once he had made up his mind about something, arguing was futile. Moreover, as Ye Feng's strength continued to grow, the conflict between the two sides was bound to intensify, unless Ye Feng chose to step away from it all. At that moment, Hong Qingyan suddenly asked, "Big Brother Ye, have you ever thought about finding a place where no one knows us and retiring there to live a carefree life forever?" Ye Feng was caught off guard by the question. After some thought, he nodded and said, "Of course, I've thought about it. In fact, I had that idea before I returned to the Northern Border, but I can't!" "Why not?" Hong Qingyan immediately asked. Ye Feng let out a sigh, gazed through the window into the dark night sky, and slowly said, "Unless Xuanyuan Nation is at peace and the world is at peace, I shall never retire!" Hong Qingyan finally dropped the subject, understanding Ye Feng's reasoning and feeling comforted. After all, it's a man's duty to serve his country, and her husband was serving both his country and its people, which was enough for her. Just then, the Deputy Sect Master of the Flora Sect, Hua Youdao, and the Deputy Sect Master of the Underworld Sect, Ghost Cold Mountain, led a group of Divine Path Realm experts and descended directly upon the inn. It was only at this moment that Xiao Chuanqi and the others realized what was happening and cried out in alarm, "Be on guard, everyone be on guard! Protect our lord; we have enemies launching a sneak attack!" Upon hearing this, Hua Youdao let out a cold, mocking laugh, "Protect your lord? With just you lot? Do you think you're capable?" Ghost Cold Mountain also let out a series of eerie chuckles, "A rabble of nobodies—all of you will die today!" Xiao Chuanqi snorted coldly, "Flora Sect, Underworld Sect, you've got some nerve to attempt an assassination on our lord. Do you know who our lord is? Do you know how powerful he is?" Hua Youdao and Ghost Cold Mountain burst into uproarious laughter upon hearing this, "Of course, we know who your master is. Isn't he the Northern King Ye Feng of today's Xuanyuan Nation? Not only that, but we also know that your lord has been seriously injured today and is inside the inn healing himself, right?" "Who told you this news?" Xiao Chuanqi shouted angrily. "Who told us isn't important. What matters is that after today, you'll be dead. And everyone in this inn, they will all die. I guarantee, no one will know it was our doing!" Hua Youdao retorted coldly. At that moment, the door to the inn's bedroom suddenly opened, and Ye Feng, along with Hong Qingyan, slowly stepped out. Ye Feng hummed, "Hua Youdao, Ghost Cold Mountain, you have quite the nerve to attempt to assassinate me? Are you not afraid that one day, I will lead an army and annihilate your sects?" "Annihilate our sects? What big talk from you! You boy have been heavily injured. Today you can barely preserve your own life, yet you dare talk big?" Hua Youdao sneered disdainfully. The Deputy Sect Master of Underworld Sect, Ghost Cold Mountain, was leering at Hong Qingyan, who was at one side. After smacking his lips maliciously, he said, "I didn't expect such an exquisite beauty, with such a fiery figure and pure appearance—truly a top beauty among humans. Hua Youdao, don't kill this one; I must have her for myself. I've lived a good half of my life without indulging in such a beauty." Hua Youdao roared with laughter, "Yes, yes, yes, she indeed is a rare gem. I will certainly not pass up such a chance. After we kill everyone present, we can enjoy her at our leisure. Also, to all the brothers present, what you see you share!" As his words fell, more than thirty Divine Path Realm experts in the room let out wicked laughter. Hong Qingyan was naturally furious, trembling with rage, while Ye Feng narrowed his eyes, his gaze filled with intense killing intent. Grinding his teeth, he spat out each word, "Kill, spare no one!" No sooner had his words fallen than a sword suddenly appeared in mid-air, a colossal Sword of the King, radiating dazzling golden light!
