Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 428 - Just Don’t Cause Me Trouble
In the dead of night, Yu Feiyu took several trusted subordinates and quietly moved Leng Wuming out through the back door. In order not to arouse suspicion, she even replaced him with a dummy wrapped in white cloth on the sickbed. From the outside, nothing seemed amiss; one had to admit that she was very meticulous in her work.
Of course, in everyday life, Yu Feiyu was always a careless and sloppy person, but when it concerned things she cared about, she would become incredibly serious and attentive, and Ye Feng was exactly the person she cared about.
Ye Feng did not show himself but watched silently from the shadows, on guard for any covert attacks. However, everything went smoothly, and soon Leng Wuming was transported to the Northern Cloud Residence without even Hong Qingyan being aware.

Inside the secret chamber of the study, after arranging Leng Wuming's accommodation, Ye Feng then had Yu Feiyu return to the Divine Doctor Sect. He himself announced that he was entering a state of secluded cultivation. Next, he needed to do something very risky.
Ye Feng was normally a very cautious person, but now he had no other choice. He had to find out who had the audacity to strike from behind. At this moment, Ye Feng already had a rough idea, as there weren't many in the Capital Region with such strength.
The Sect Leaders at the Utility Pavilion had this strength, which of course included the old man Tang Bai. However, the likelihood of Tang Bai making a move was small; after all, his status meant he wouldn't stoop to such actions. Aside from him, there was the Great General's Mansion.
In fact, the Great General was the most likely suspect. But being such an important figure, Ye Feng wouldn't act rashly without evidence.
Exhaling softly, Ye Feng then sat down cross-legged, trying his best to calm himself down. Afterward, the Mental Power Nucleus in the Sea of Consciousness began to spin violently, and streams of spiritual power surged forth.
Invisible spiritual power is unseen to the common eye, only perceivable when one attains a certain Cultivation Realm. It's undoubtedly an abstract and an advanced method of cultivation. Ye Feng surmised that perhaps not many in the world mastered this method of spiritual cultivation, and he might very well be the first.
With his spiritual power materialized and controllable, Ye Feng intensely focused, driving threads of this power. It quickly entered into Leng Wuming's body through the center of his brow. At this moment, to Ye Feng, Leng Wuming almost seemed transparent.
Of course, merely entering the body was not the challenge. The true difficulty lay in entering one's Sea of Consciousness, a decidedly perilous venture. Ye Feng took a deep breath, then with a concentrated look in his eyes, his spiritual power instantly invaded Leng Wuming's Sea of Consciousness.
In that instant, Ye Feng distinctly felt Leng Wuming's body shudder. Though unconscious, he still had a subconscious, which mounted a defense as soon as it sensed an invasion in the Sea of Consciousness.
Ye Feng immediately felt within Leng Wuming's Sea of Consciousness a vague mass of something forming, aiming to block his spiritual power, trying to expel, even kill, the intruder.
Ye Feng boldly called out with his mind, "Leng Wuming, it's me, Northern King Ye Feng. This is my spiritual power. Do not attack!"
The next moment, Leng Wuming's body trembled once more, his subconscious seemingly hearing the shout. However, the resistance in the Sea of Consciousness was instinctual; he couldn't control it.
Seeing this, Ye Feng said, "Relax your body and mind completely. Try to let your mental state relax and allow my spiritual power to enter the core!"
After all, Leng Wuming was someone of note, capable of standing by Ye Feng's side. He quickly relaxed his mind, and then Ye Feng noticed that the vague mass of Chaos no longer besieged him.
Ye Feng charged straight in, aware that Leng Wuming hadn't yet awakened his own spiritual power and was unable to communicate through it. However, it wasn't long before Ye Feng discovered the memory fragments stored within the other's Sea of Consciousness.
"So these are memory fragments. They do indeed exist. The brain's Sea of Consciousness is truly a wonder," Ye Feng marveled. He quickly obtained Leng Wuming's latest memory fragments, thus learning the full account of the battle in the Capital Region as well as the origins of the ambushers.
Then, he gingerly withdrew his spiritual power, only then letting out a long sigh of relief. It was at this point he realized he was drenched in sweat, with large beads on his face.
When the Mental Power Nucleus in the Sea of Consciousness finally stopped, Ye Feng felt completely drained. However, he was astounded to find that the nucleus had grown slightly larger.
"It's grown stronger? Could it be that using my spiritual power with high intensity is a form of training?" This discovery elated Ye Feng, for he had seemingly found the Method of Cultivation. Of course, whether this method would work remained to be tested with time.
He formed a Seal Formation with his hands and soon entered a state of Void breath regulation. A while later, he fully recovered to his peak condition and slowly opened his eyes, which now brimmed with a deep murderous intent.
"Great General's Mansion, it was indeed you!" Ye Feng said through gritted teeth.
At that very moment in the Great General's Mansion, which too was brightly lit, sat several high-ranking officials in the innermost high-level deliberation hall with Great General Duantian taking the place of honor. However, at this moment, Duantian's complexion was extremely grim.
His gaze was fixed fiercely on a person kneeling below, an angry and ferocious look in his eyes, wishing he could tear the person into pieces.
"Son of a bitch, truly despicable, how dare you, how dare you? How could you actually dare to lay hands on Northern King Ye Feng's belongings? Don't you know that those private rooms belong to the Martial Academy?"
Great General Duan Tian was utterly furious, then he berated again, "It's bad enough that you dared to snatch them, at least you had the guts, but you were incredibly foolish. You failed to silence the man, leaving behind a problem, truly an ignorant fool."
The military advisor sitting beside him also sighed and said, "Originally, I had set a policy for the Great General, planning to watch as the snipe and clam fought, with the fisherman reaping the benefits. As long as we could watch Northern King Ye Feng and the Nine Great Sects of Ancient Martial Arts both suffer defeats, we could then step in and clean up the situation.
But now, thanks to this commotion, we are likely to draw attention to ourselves!"
"Exactly, this idiot, a perfectly good plan and he had to disrupt it!" Great General Duan Tian cursed again.
Suddenly, a general below spoke up, "Great General Duan Tian, things have come to this. There's no need to be angry, lest it harm your health. Moreover, it's just something belonging to that Ye fellow, our Great General's Mansion isn't really afraid of him!"
"Yes, Great General, we can't exactly grow others' ambitions and destroy our own authority. The most crucial thing right now is to think of a way to remedy the situation!" the others below also chimed in one after another.
Great General Duan Tian remained unmoved, still glaring with angry eyes, and barked, "Zhang Jiuming, I ask you, was the opponent really completely unconscious at the time?"
Kneeling on the ground, Zhang Jiuming said through clenched teeth, "Please rest assured, Great General. I am one hundred percent certain that, under the assault of me and my two brothers, his meridians and innates were all severed. He was completely unconscious and would never have woken up, had it not been for the old geezer Shi Yehong passing by at that time.
I would have already finished off Leng Wuming."
The military advisor beside remarked, "Although his meridians and bones were broken, we still cannot rule out the possibility he might wake up. We can't afford to take this lightly. Our relationship with Northern King Ye Feng has become very tense already. If Ye Feng finds out it was us and gets evidence, the consequences would be..."
Just as he was speaking, suddenly someone below said, "I don't think this is such a bad situation. Since Leng Wuming isn't dead yet, we can just find a way to 'kill' him again. Wouldn't that leave no evidence behind?"
No one spoke, even Duan Tian had a grave expression as he pondered. They all knew this method, but everyone was clear that trying to kill Leng Wuming a second time was even harder than reaching the heavens.
So, no one dared to try recklessly. Otherwise, both sides would likely become truly irreconcilable without anymore room for easing tensions.
However, just then a person dressed in black hurried in, came up to the military advisor, and whispered a few words, after which the advisor's facial expression completely changed.
"General, there's some bad news below, I'm afraid I must speak," the advisor said.
Great General Duan Tian, with a sideways glance, stated word by word, "No need to say it. This general is not foolish and can guess what it is. It must be that Leng Wuming is about to regain consciousness, right?"
The military advisor nodded and replied, "The general is wise."
But to their surprise, Great General Duantian scoffed, "Such petty tricks, do they really think this general is a three-year-old child? The more Ye spreads such false news, the less likely it is that Leng Wuming shows any signs of waking up."
Upon hearing this, everyone below praised, "Great General is wise and mighty."
"Enough, enough, no need to kiss up to me. Just don't cause me any more trouble!"
Duan Tian barked coldly, then slowly stood up, and said with a sneer, "However, it seems Ye Feng still underestimates me, thinking I'm that easy to fool. Since he wants to lure me into a trap, then I shall fall for it once to show him!"
"Not at all, Great General, wouldn't this..." The people below began to dissuade him upon hearing this.
"Be quiet! Do you really think I am as foolish as you? If we've done the deed, we absolutely cannot leave any trace behind!"
Great General glared at Zhang Jiuming below and snorted coldly, "Zhang Jiuming, do you realize why I'm angry? It's not because you acted against Northern King Ye Feng. I even somewhat admire your courage. What truly enrages me is your incompetence. You dare to steal and yet don't even know to wipe your mouth clean. Now, I have to clean up your mess!"
The crowd below fell silent, but then the military advisor spoke up, "General, have you really decided to act?"
Great General Duan Tian, with his hands clasped behind his back, spoke with great arrogance, "Of course, I must act. I cannot allow even a sliver of risk to remain. At least not now, so Leng Wuming must die thoroughly."
As he said that, Great General Duan Tian suddenly smirked and began to laugh teasingly, speaking to himself, "Ye Feng, oh Ye Feng, after decades of planning, do you really think this is all I'm capable of? Since that's the case, it's time for you to witness my true power!"
