Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 419 - The Great Wall of Heaven, Seeing Long Nannan Again

Having heard what his granddaughter said, the old man with the big smoking pipe suddenly looked up toward the west and sighed, "Those old friends, it's been many years since I've seen them."

Long Nannan didn't want to dwell on this topic since it was her grandfather's sorrow, so she changed the subject, "Grandpa, lately the enemy's attacks have been getting more fierce, and it looks like we are almost unable to hold them off. Could it be that one day, we really won't be able to stop them?"

The little old man showed no concern on his face and just chuckled, "Silly granddaughter, you must understand something. Anything that's solely defensive, no matter what it is or how impregnable it may seem, will eventually have a day when it can no longer hold out, and we must come to terms with that."

"But Grandpa..." Long Nannan said with her chin downcast, "If the Great Wall of Heaven really can't hold, then our side, our homeland, won't that be afflicted? At that time, there would surely be disaster and suffering."

The little old man still chuckled, "That won't happen, but of course, everything has its fate and tribulations, which is unavoidable. However, compared to the Great Wall of Heaven, I think you should be more concerned about your Little Martial Uncle."

"My Little Martial Uncle, you mean Ye Feng, what about him?" Long Nannan's face suddenly became anxious. Although she showed concern when talking about the Great Wall of Heaven, it was nothing compared to her worry now.

The little old man saw all this, but he didn't spell it out and just said, "Nowadays, everything's a mess, everything's in disarray. It would have been fine if only the Nine Great Sects of Ancient Martial Arts had stepped out, but now even the Four Great Ancient Clans are getting restless."

"The Four Great Ancient Clans, are they not abiding by their agreement and getting involved in the Mortal World?" Long Nannan exclaimed.

The little old man took a deep breath and then exhaled a long ring of smoke that lingered, "The Four Great Ancient Clans aren't fools. They probably see that the world is about to change, so each is looking out for their own interests now, gone are the concerns for old pacts."

Long Nannan asked, "Grandpa, does that mean the Four Great Ancient Clans are going to make a move on Ye Feng? But that doesn't seem right, Ye Feng is just a Northern King in the Mortal World, surely the Four Great Ancient Clans wouldn't bother targeting him."

The little old man chuckled, "You are still underestimating your Little Martial Uncle. To be honest, even an old man like me is starting to have trouble seeing through that young fellow now."

"Oh Grandpa, stop beating around the bush and just tell me what's really going on," Long Nannan urged.

The little old man laughed, "What's the hurry? Don't worry, nothing will happen. It's just that a young one from the Four Great Ancient Clans couldn't stand your Little Martial Uncle's brazenness and couldn't help but jump out to challenge him. It's just child's play, nothing serious."

Long Nannan pursed her lips, apparently annoyed, glaring at her grandfather.

Having no other choice, the little old man then said, "Alright, alright, you're so impetuous, when can you change that? Don't worry, I've got everything arranged; not a single hair on your Little Martial Uncle's head will be harmed."

With that, the old man with the big smoking pipe stood up, patted his behind, and suddenly grunted, "Damn it, they dare to bully my people, thinking I'm a vegetarian? If I weren't tied up, I'd be sure to give each and every one of them a good slap on my return."

Unable to resist, Long Nannan teased, "Then go back! What use is it saying it here? You've lived a long life, but it was only last century you had your heyday; these days, if people didn't know better, they'd think grass was growing over your grave."

"You little melon seed, are you cursing your grandpa here!" the old man with the big smoking pipe said, a tad annoyed but still smiling.

Long Nannan rolled her eyes at him, then suddenly her figure flickered down, though her voice came from behind, "I'm not going to bother you anymore, Grandpa, but remember, after this period is over, I'm going to go back no matter what. I want to see who's got the nerve to bully my Little Martial Uncle!"

The old man with the big smoking pipe ignored his granddaughter's words and looked out at the profound and vast sky, suddenly sighing deeply, "Yes, it has indeed been a long time since I've been back, but this wall probably won't hold out for much longer, either. With the world's changing circumstances, it's time to think about myself now."

After finishing his words, the old man with the big smoking pipe suddenly vanished from atop the city wall.

Meanwhile, at Northern Cloud Residence, night had fallen, and Ye Feng had already entered the study's secret chamber, quickly entering a state of secluded cultivation. Tomorrow he would face a life-and-death battle with Hong Jiutian, an extraordinary opponent, so he had to improve his strength as much as possible.

Ye Feng was naturally very interested in the Mental Power Nucleus, and after entering secluded cultivation, he conducted a thorough investigation, only to ultimately find nothing.

The thing had appeared without warning, vanished without a trace, and what gave Ye Feng a big headache was that spiritual power was still too arcane for him, leaving him without any clue or means to cultivate and enhance his spiritual power.

"It seems that my realm is not high enough; the Mental Power Nucleus probably just appeared by a chance coincidence," Ye Feng said with a wry smile, and then chose to give up.

Even in its most rudimentary form, and despite the weakness of his spiritual power, the benefits were huge. For instance, there was the formidable Power of Control and Restraint, and also the power of strong Perception. Once he spread out his spiritual power, anything within its range could be perceived extremely clearly by Ye Feng.

Even more, Ye Feng found that when covering his opponent with spiritual power, he could clearly perceive the trajectory and pathways of their Cultivation Method and Martial Technique, even possibly sense it in advance. It was simply the best kind of aid.

It can be said that, with the inexplicably formed Mental Power Nucleus, Ye Feng's combat power had doubled, and might even be stronger than that.

"Forget it, since I can't figure it out now, I might as well put it aside and prioritize practicing the Technique of the Three Thousand Acupoints!"

Immediately, Ye Feng adjusted his mental state and, with a thought, the Divine Path Heavenly Edict Scroll in his Sea of Consciousness began to surge, with torrents of the Source of Luck gushing out. A portion was used to develop the Acupoints within his body, while the rest improved the quality of his Qi Essence.

Time slowly passed, and in the blink of an eye it was Sky Bright. However, at this time, Ye Feng was still in the midst of his secluded cultivation, because the amount of Luck contained in the Divine Path Heavenly Edict Scroll was simply too low.

Moreover, he discovered that to elevate the Qi Essence in the Acupoints to Spirit Essence and condense and refine it was far more difficult than transforming Qi Force into Spirit Essence, and naturally, it required much more time.

As time continuously passed, it was quickly noontime, and there was still no activity from the study. At this point, Xiao Chuanqi, Sima Zhantian, and the others were getting anxious. Because by sunset this afternoon, the decisive battle on the summit of the Forbidden City, as agreed upon by the Master and Hong Jiutian, was set to begin. It was unsettling that Ye Feng had not yet appeared.

However, without explicit orders, no one dared intrude. These were commands laid down by Ye Feng, and Xiao Chuanqi and the rest did not dare to impulsively disrupt him.

Hong Qingyan had also arrived in the courtyard by this time. She looked at the study, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, since Big Brother Ye has not come out, it means he has not finished cultivating. There is still time, let's just wait!"

But even as the sunset approached, there was still no sign from the study, nor was the door opened. At this point, Xiao Chuanqi and the others were undoubtedly very anxious.

"Mistress, this can't go on. If the Master doesn't come out and misses the appointed duel, I'm afraid it will significantly impact Master's great reputation. Who knows how those dogs in the imperial capital will slander and insult the Master then!" Xiao Chuanqi said anxiously.

Even Hong Qingyan couldn't stay calm at this moment, frowning she said, "The time is almost up, if he doesn't appear soon, the sun will truly set."

Sima Zhantian said, "Mistress, why don't you go in and check? Master is always steadfast. Unless there's some accident, he would never delay his appearance for so long."

Hong Qingyan considered it and then walked over. Just as she reached out her hand to the door, it creaked open, and Ye Feng stepped out from inside.

Overjoyed, Hong Qingyan said, "Big Brother Ye, you've finally come out."

With feigned seriousness, Ye Feng picked at his sword-like brows and said, "I had already given orders that no one is to enter the study without my permission. Are you trying to defy the King's Order?"

Hong Qingyan immediately lowered her head and said in a soft voice, "I'm sorry, Big Brother Ye, we were just worried about you."

Xiao Chuanqi immediately said, "Master, it was I who instructed the Mistress to open the door. If punishment is due, it should be upon me."

Not to be outdone, Sima Zhantian hurriedly said, "Master, it was my idea, punish me instead!"

But by this time, Ye Feng was already shaking his head, striding away with a big laugh. Only then did everyone realize that Ye Feng had been joking all along.

"Big Brother Ye actually made a joke. It seems he's in good spirits," said Hong Qingyan.

Following in suit, Xiao Chuanqi said, "The Master has been in secluded cultivation for so long, and to come out in such a pleasant mood indicates that his strength must have grown through this cultivation."

At this point, the three of them nodded solemnly, agreeing. Indeed, with Ye Feng's emergence from seclusion, not only had his strength grown, but it had exploded in growth, so much so that even he had not expected it. After completely refining and absorbing the Source of Luck, he achieved an unexpected effect.

Leaving the study courtyard, Ye Feng directly got into the already-prepared carriage, with Hong Qingyan and the others following closely behind. Then the carriage set off straight for the Forbidden City.

The Northern Cloud Residence's location in the Inner City was actually not far from the Forbidden City, merely a five-minute journey. The Forbidden City, a sightseeing spot, usually closed at dusk.

However, this evening, the Forbidden City was exceptionally lively. Though ordinary people could not enter, the upper echelons of the imperial capital had gathered here tonight. Even many from the Nine Great Sects of Ancient Martial Arts had come, besieging the vast Forbidden City.

Even the roofs of the palaces surrounding the Forbidden City were crowded with people at this time. And on the highest tower of the Forbidden City, the summit of the Forbidden City, a young man with a proud demeanor was standing.

Under the gentle evening breeze, the youth with a folding fan, his robe fluttering, exuded an indescribable dashing air. This person was, of course, the recently famous Hong Jiutian.
