Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 427 - Planning to Bait the Enemy?

The army reached Ten-mile Slope and soon left the territory of the Western Territory, entering the Northern Border. Upon arrival, Ye Feng immediately gave the order for the army to return to the Northern Border Base Camp. He himself, escorted by dozens of personal high-level experts, transported the box snatched from the Flora Sect directly to the Capital Region.

After all, the enrollment of the Martial Academy was imminent, and he could no longer delay. Ye Feng was very aware that the world situation was about to change. Monsters from an Alien Space-Time were descending. When that happens, the ordinary people of Xuanyuan Nation would be plunged into misery and suffering.

What could prevent this tragedy was to immediately promote the Martial Academy and allow the ordinary masses to practice the Martial Dao to enhance their own strength as much as possible. Only then would they have some ability to protect themselves during the coming drastic changes.

Of course, if it were possible to prevent the catastrophe from happening, Ye Feng would do his utmost. However, he knew that after the incident in Fallen Dragon Valley, the situation would undoubtedly get worse. Promoting the Martial Academy was, without a doubt, a benefit for the ordinary people.

Unfortunately, the Nine Great Sects of Ancient Martial Arts were selfish and only considered their own interests. Out of helplessness, Ye Feng had launched the Sect War.

However, when Ye Feng arrived back at the Capital Region and returned to Northern Cloud Residence, he had no idea that Leng Wuming had suffered an accident. The box they had confiscated from the Underworld Sect was intercepted and robbed outside the Capital Region. Even Leng Wuming himself had been dealt a heavy injury.

Upon hearing the news, Ye Feng was immediately enraged and, without any pause, hurried to the Divine Doctor Sect. But he learned that even several divine doctors of the sect were helpless. Leng Wuming's body's channels and critical bones were all broken. He had essentially become a cripple.

"Who did this?" Ye Feng was furious. He had not imagined that anyone would dare to attack his subordinate outside the Capital Region and even steal his boxes. This was a complete disregard for the Northern King.

Three deputy generals were also injured, though their injuries were not as severe as Leng Wuming's. At that moment, all three were kneeling on the ground, saying, "We have failed to protect the box, please punish us, Your Majesty!"

Seeing this, Ye Feng's anger somewhat subsided. He waved his hand and said, "It was my oversight, I did not consider carefully enough. That I let you bring back the boxes so openly allowed those people an opportunity to take advantage. Now, tell me, who were the perpetrators?"

The three deputy generals then stood up, only to shake their heads and say, "We were incompetent and do not know their exact origins. It was already dark at the time, and the opponents moved very quickly. They had obviously come prepared, and we couldn't make out anything."

Ye Feng frowned deeply upon hearing this. Suddenly one of the deputy generals added, "However, during the fight, the Nameless General seemed to have discovered something, but before he could speak, he was heavily injured and fell unconscious. Later, thankfully, the Second Sect Leader came by, and they did not manage to kill us. Otherwise, none of us would have survived."

Ye Feng turned to look at the Second Sect Leader and asked, "Second Sect Leader, did you see where the attackers came from when you arrived?"

Second Sect Leader Shi Yehong shook his head and said, "I did not. The assailants were skilled. Upon realizing my arrival, they immediately retreated. I was focused on rescuing people and didn't pursue further. Continue the chase, and I probably wouldn't have been able to catch up anyhow. These people are very familiar with the Capital Region's terrain.

If not unexpected, they should be from the Capital Region."

"People from the Capital Region..." Ye Feng's eyes slowly narrowed.

Right at this moment, Yu Feiyu walked out from inside, looking tired. She approached Ye Feng, shook her head, and sighed, "I'm sorry, Big Brother Ye. I did my best, but I could only keep him alive. As for his injuries..."

Ye Feng naturally understood. Having one's channels and bones all broken was an injury that was extremely difficult to survive from, let alone heal completely. Of course, Leng Wuming had a strong constitution to have held on until they reached the Capital Region's Imperial Divine Medical Sect.

"You've worked hard. I'll go in and take a look!" After saying this, Ye Feng walked from the hall into the backyard. At this point, Leng Wuming was wrapped in white cloth like a mummy, lying on the sickbed, his breath extremely weak.

He did not approach to examine him closely. A release of his spiritual power immediately made things clear to him, and he also knew that even with his own intervention, he could not fully heal Leng Wuming's injuries since Yu Feiyu's medical skills were almost no different from his own.

Yu Feiyu also followed him into the room and suddenly said, "By the way, Big Brother Ye, I remember my father saying when I was a child that if a person's innate bone structure and channels are broken, there is one medicine in the world that can restore them."

"What medicine?" Ye Feng asked immediately.

"Black Jade Healing Paste!" Yu Feiyu said, frowning, "However, our Valley of the Medicine God does not have it. Whether it has been lost, I'm not sure, but I can ask my father."

Ye Feng nodded and said, "Then please call Valley Master Yu now."

Yu Feiyu looked at Ye Feng, wanting to say that with their relationship, there was no need for formalities, but seeing that Ye Feng was not in a good mood, she swallowed her words and quietly took out her phone to dial her father's number.

The call was quickly connected, and after a brief conversation, Yu Feiyu said, "Father said there indeed exists Black Jade Healing Paste in the world, but the method of crafting it is lost. Even our Valley of the Medicine God cannot produce it. However, father also mentioned that to his knowledge, the Buddhist Sect still possesses some Black Jade Healing Paste."

"The Buddhist Sect has it?" Ye Feng's eyes brightened, but then his expression darkened again. Given his current relationship with the Nine Great Sects of Ancient Martial Arts, the chance to borrow or trade for Black Jade Healing Paste from the Buddhist Sect seemed highly unlikely.

"Let's go outside and talk!" After saying this, Ye Feng turned and left the sickroom to return to the hall. However, the atmosphere in the hall was very solemn, especially among subordinates like Sima Zhantian and Xiao Chuanqi, who were filled with a murderous aura.

"Your Majesty, how is Leng Wuming? Has he revealed who was behind the attack?" Sima Zhantian asked.

"He has been unconscious the whole time, barely clinging to life; how could he speak?" Yu Feiyu said from nearby.

Ye Feng was silent and pensive, and for a moment, he even entertained the idea of immediately going to the Buddhist Sect to demand the Black Jade Healing Paste, but since he had no solid leads, he quickly dismissed the thought.

It wasn't that he didn't dare, but such an action would have too great an impact. After all, this was different from his previous decision to eliminate the Underworld Sect and the Flora Sect. In those cases, the Sect Master of Underworld Sect had plotted to conspire with the leader of Utility Pavilion, and Ye Feng had sent troops in the name of justice and righteousness.

"Your Majesty, isn't there a way to make Leng Wuming briefly regain consciousness to reveal the perpetrator behind the scenes?" Xiao Chuanqi asked.

Ye Feng's face showed no emotion, and he did not respond to the question. In fact, the moment he saw Leng Wuming, he had come up with a solution, but he knew the hall was likely infiltrated with spies from certain individuals, so he simply kept silent.

"King's Order, deploy a team of experts to guard this place round the clock; we cannot afford any mishaps with Leng Wuming. The moment he shows signs of waking, notify me immediately!" Ye Feng gave his orders directly.

"As you command, Your Majesty. We will take turns on watch, ensuring not even a fly gets in," Xiao Chuanqi and Sima Zhantian promptly declared.

Ye Feng nodded, then dismissed everyone from the Divine Doctor Sect in the hall before sitting down with a heavy sigh. After so many events and his recent exertion, he was undoubtedly feeling worn out.

Hong Qingyan silently turned around and went into the inner chamber to prepare bird's nest porridge. Yu Feiyu considered offering help but concluded that it might be awkward to stay together with Hong Qingyan, so she chose to remain in the hall instead.

Nightfall gradually set in, and once the sunset completely faded, the winter Capital Region was enveloped in darkness. After some rest, Ye Feng finally revived in spirit and clarity, and he subtly motioned for Yu Feiyu to join him in the inner chamber.

After ensuring that spiritual power assured there were no eavesdroppers within ten meters, he then shared his thoughts with Yu Feiyu.

"Big Brother Ye, are you planning to secretly move Leng Wuming?" Yu Feiyu asked in surprise after hearing the plan.

Ye Feng nodded, to which Yu Feiyu said, "But Big Brother Ye, given his current condition, he shouldn't be moved at all. Moreover, even if we take him to Northern Cloud Residence, it might not be any safer than here. It would be better to leave him and strengthen the guard."

Ye Feng smiled and said, "It's noisy here with too many ears around. Most importantly, I'm about to perform an Ancient Medical Secret Technique that can temporarily rouse Leng Wuming back to consciousness. But it's essential that we must not be disturbed—not even the slightest, or even my life could be in danger."

"An Ancient Medical Technique?" Yu Feiyu asked in surprise. "Big Brother Ye, your medical skills were all taught by my father. When did you learn an Ancient Secret Technique?"

"Don't worry about that. I came across it by chance. Of course, it's not that I don't want to teach you, but learning this technique comes with certain restrictive conditions," Ye Feng said.

In fact, Ye Feng knew no Ancient Medical Techniques. Just as Yu Feiyu said, all his medical knowledge came from Yu Xianhe. His claim was merely a pretext.

What Ye Feng actually planned to do was to use his own spiritual power to enter Leng Wuming's Sea of Consciousness to awaken his awareness. This was an extremely risky maneuver, and even Ye Feng was not fully confident in its success. Any disturbance could be disastrous not just for Leng Wuming but for himself as well due to the risk of backlash.

Yu Feiyu said, "If that's the case, I will make the arrangements. Leng Wuming's ward has a backyard. We could move him quietly to Northern Cloud Residence in the dead of night."

"Good. Then let this task be yours to arrange, but remember, let no one know about it," Ye Feng cautioned.

Speaking thus, he added sternly, "Also, let it slip as if by accident that Leng Wuming may show signs of coming to at dawn. Remember, spread the news in a way that seems unintentional."

Yu Feiyu quickly got the point, nodding, "Do you mean to bait the enemy into a trap, Big Brother Ye?"

Ye Feng gave a wry smile. "Of course, but this is a desperate measure. However, I don't think the enemy will fall for it easily unless they are fools. Still, it's possible they might send some Death Warriors to probe the situation."

Yu Feiyu nodded, now understanding. Even if the enemy sent people and they were captured, they wouldn't likely divulge the mastermind behind them. In fact, these agents might not even know who they were working for. Therefore, the strategy of drawing out the snake from its hole didn't seem very practical.

But since Ye Feng had given the order, she would naturally do her best to execute it.
