Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 465 - 463: Killing Aura Emerges, The Nation Trembles!
After regulating his breath for a while, Ye Feng entered Leng Wuming's sickroom. This time, not only did he need to remove the remnants of Qi Force in Leng Wuming's body, but he also planned to transfuse a portion of his own Spirit Essence. By doing so, Leng Wuming would find it much easier to embark on the path of cultivation after his recovery.
After all, the man was his subordinate and had been gravely injured while carrying out his duties. Ye Feng felt that it was his responsibility to use all his power to aid in Leng Wuming's recuperation. Naturally, he couldn't transfuse too much Spirit Essence, or Leng Wuming's current condition wouldn't be able to withstand it.
Following last night's events, Ye Feng noticed that Leng Wuming's meridians and core Innate Bone were slowly healing. Although the process was slow, there were signs of improvement, and he finally let out a sigh of relief. The rest was up to Leng Wuming himself.
After completing all this, Ye Feng stepped out only to find that it was already noon. He casually made his way to the backyard, where Hong Qingyan had already prepared lunch.
"Big Brother Ye, now that Leng Wuming's situation has been dealt with, can't you finally take a good rest for a while?" Hong Qingyan asked. She was clearly worried about him. Since their acquaintance, she had never seen Ye Feng take a break.
Ye Feng shook his head with a smile while sipping his rice porridge, "Thinking of rest seems impossible. Despite the current peace in the country, the real hidden dangers and troubles have not been resolved."
"The real hidden dangers? What are those?" Hong Qingyan couldn't help asking.
Ye Feng looked around, then put down his bowl and chopsticks, "This matter is of great importance, and I wasn't planning on telling you. But fortunately, you have now embarked on the path of cultivation and have some cultivation level, so it's time for you to know."
He began with the incident at Fallen Dragon Valley, then mentioned the mission in the Northwest Little Mountain Village, before discussing the secrets of the Four Great Ancient Clans. It was then that Hong Qingyan realized how many secrets this world held.
"So, Big Brother Ye, in the near future, will an alien gateway from the Alien Space-Time open into our world?" Hong Qingyan asked with a particularly serious expression, only now realizing the weight of the burden her man carried.
Ye Feng nodded slightly, "Yes, although we're not entirely clear on what lies on the other side of the Alien Space-Time, the miasma that emanated from Fallen Dragon Valley indicates that the creatures there are far from simple."
Hong Qingyan nodded and said, "I see. No wonder, Big Brother Ye, even if you have to eliminate the Nine Great Sects of Ancient Martial Arts, you insist on promoting the Martial Academy nationwide. You're doing it to improve the combat power of ordinary people in the shortest possible time, so that they might have a chance to defend themselves in the upcoming upheaval."
"Yes," Ye Feng sighed deeply, "but the world does not understand me. Yet it doesn't matter; I'll do what I feel is right!"
Hong Qingyan suddenly smiled, then said earnestly, "Big Brother Ye, I support you, and I will always stand behind you."
The two exchanged smiles and continued their lunch. After a moment of thought, Hong Qingyan asked, "So Big Brother Ye, I suppose you're preparing to enter the so-called Outer Battlefield next?"
"Yes, it's about time," Ye Feng nodded and continued, "According to intelligence, it's not just our country, but top experts from around the world have entered it. Although I'm still unclear about the specifics of the Outer Battlefield, everyone generally says it is a place for training, so I suppose there must be something extraordinary about it."
"Perhaps there are many treasures there," Hong Qingyan suddenly smiled.
"Let's hope so," Ye Feng smiled in response.
After lunch, Hong Qingyan said she would enter secluded cultivation. Her conversation with Ye Feng had undoubtedly put pressure on her, but her pressure wasn't for the nation or the people. She didn't feel so grand; her heart and eyes were filled only with Ye Feng, meaning her reason for cultivation was solely for him.
Hong Qingyan just wanted to be able to help if Ye Feng ever encountered any difficulties, or at the very least, not to hold him back.
Naturally, Ye Feng needed to enter secluded cultivation as well. In the battle with the two elders from the Buddhist Sect of the Confucian Sect yesterday, he had absorbed quite a bit of Origin Energy. Now was the time to assimilate that energy to enhance his strength. But just as he left the dining hall, Xiao Chuanqi came rushing over in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!" Xiao Chuanqi panted.
"What's so alarming?" Ye Feng raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Your Majesty, it's Lord Cao, Cao Yi. He has been murdered!" Xiao Chuanqi said gravely.
"What did you say?" Ye Feng's eyebrows shot up, his expression changed, "What happened? Didn't Boss Cao retire and has been relaxing on a cruise in the East Sea?"
"That's why there was trouble. According to the intelligence, Lord Cao encountered ninjas from Fusang at the East Sea. There was a conflict previously, and unfortunately, Lord Cao didn't have any experts with him, so he was killed by the ninjas on the spot."
Boom...
Ye Feng's aura burst forth suddenly, releasing a palpable murderous intent that soared to the sky and changed the very color of the sky above the imperial city.
Ordinary people might not sense this killing intent, but those with higher Cultivation Level certainly felt its terror, especially those above the Divine Path Realm. They distinctly saw an almost tangible murderous aura, like a dragon's head, shooting up from underneath the Northern Cloud Residence.
"Such a strong killing intent, that person from Northern Cloud Residence, where did this sudden killing intent come from?" Inside the Utility Pavilion, Grand Sect Leader Zhao Gongming couldn't help but walk out of his study and ask one of his trusted followers beside him.
The follower bowed and said, "Reporting to the Grand Sect Leader, Lord Cao Yi has died."
Grand Sect Leader Zhao Gongming was shocked and said, "What did you say, old Cao Yi is dead? How did he die?"
The follower replied, "The specifics are not very clear yet, but it is said that he was killed in the East Sea, and the murderer seems to be a ninja from Fusang!"
The Grand Sect Leader narrowed his eyes but didn't speak. Instead, he stood with his hands clasped behind his back, leaning on the railing and gazing in the direction of the Northern Cloud Residence, where a killing intent like a dragon's head lingered for a long time, truly terrifying to the extreme.
Suddenly, the follower asked, "Grand Sect Leader, although Cao Yi had already retired, he was after all a long-time friend and also a senior to the person from Northern Cloud Residence. With the current situation, should the Grand Sect Leader make a trip to Northern Cloud Residence?"
Zhao Gongming was taken aback and after a long while sighed and said, "I'm afraid that right now, I wouldn't be of much help even if I went. However, considering the old times' sake, I should go and take a look."
The situation in the Utility Pavilion had quietly changed since Ye Feng returned from the Buddhist Sect, and the most significant change was when Tang Bai suddenly announced that he had contracted a serious illness, was unable to manage the Utility Pavilion anymore, and had chosen to withdraw and live in seclusion.
Clearly, everyone knew this was just an excuse from Tang Bai. The real reason was that Ye Feng had slain the two old men from the Confucian and Buddhist Sects at the Martial Forest Conference held by the Buddhist Sect. Additionally, since Tang Bai had previously made a bet with Ye Feng and now Ye Feng had fulfilled the agreement ahead of time, Tang Bai naturally had to step down.
But what no one expected was the decisiveness with which Tang Bai retreated, not even waiting for Ye Feng to personally come to the Utility Pavilion. Of course, everyone also understood that Ye Feng had fully spread his wings by now, having been able to slay the two old men from the Confucian and Buddhist Sects, he would naturally be capable of slaying Tang Bai as well.
So Tang Bai had no choice but to step down, for if he refused, he would have to pay with his life.

In addition, all the Sect Leaders of the Utility Pavilion knew that it wouldn't be long before Ye Feng would move into the Utility Pavilion, and might even take over. Even Zhuge Wuming, the old man, was likely to become his deputy, and the eventuality everyone had worried about had still happened.
Meanwhile, at Imperial Martial Academy, they too felt the soaring killing intent from Northern Cloud Residence. Second Sect Leader Shi Yehong immediately put down his work and stepped out to look up at the sky above Northern Cloud Residence, speaking in a grave tone, "What's going on, such strong killing intent, it must be coming from that youngster Ye Feng. But why would he do this?"
"We do not know, sir. These days we've all been busily engaged with matters of the Martial Academy. With nationwide enrollment taking place intensively, and even the first batch is already in training, we simply have no time to attend to other matters," lamented two deputies.
Second Sect Leader Shi Yehong said, "No, I must make a trip to the Preparation Army. You all stay here and continue with the work!"
Having said this, Second Sect Leader Shi Yehong soared away. Of course, he wasn't capable of flying, he could only skim low along the roof eaves.
Indeed, Ye Feng had previously told Shi Yehong to give up on the Martial Dao and become a cultivator, but Shi Yehong had refused, saying he was an elderly man now, and giving up on the Martial Dao would mean falling from his Realm, which he couldn't bear to do.
However, Ye Feng knew the real reason Shi Yehong wouldn't do it was not because he couldn't give up his current Martial Dao cultivation, but rather, he felt he still had many responsibilities to attend to, such as those at the Martial Academy, and since Ye Feng himself was tied up, Shi Yehong had no choice but to handle these tasks, which naturally made Ye Feng feel extremely guilty.
But at this moment, the person Ye Feng felt the most guilt toward was of course Boss Cao, Cao Yi!
When Cao Yi's corpse was brought into Northern Cloud Residence, Ye Feng immediately knelt down on one knee before the body of Cao Yi.
Although Ye Feng did not easily show his emotions in daily life, Boss Cao counted as one of the few benefactors and seniors he had from childhood. Cao Yi had a good relationship with the Old Northern King and often came to play in the Northern Border.
At that time, the Old Northern King was so busy he had no time to teach Ye Feng, so Cao Yi stood in for the Old Northern King, patiently teaching him the Martial Dao, as well as various military strategies and tactics. It could almost be said that Cao Yi was like a half-teacher to Ye Feng.
What truly made Ye Feng feel responsible was that before stepping down from his position, Boss Cao had not forgotten to transfer his four strongest bodyguards to Ye Feng.
Ye Feng even thought to himself that if Boss Cao had been protected by these four great powers during his leisure trip to the East Sea, he might not have been murdered, so his heart was filled with guilt and self-reproach.
Suddenly seeing the Northern King Ye Feng kneeling down, Xiao Chuanqi and Sima Zhantian, along with their followers, were utterly shocked. After all, as far as they knew, Northern King Ye Feng was a towering, iron-blooded man, a man who would not even kneel to Heaven and Earth.
Without any hesitation, Xiao Chuanqi, Sima Zhantian, and their group of more than thirty followers and attendants also knelt down on one knee, lining up behind Ye Feng.
And this scene was precisely witnessed by the rushing Grand Sect Leader Zhao Gongming and Second Sect Leader Shi Yehong. The two Sect Leaders of the Utility Pavilion couldn't help but be deeply moved, and they also felt reassured, thinking to themselves that although the current Northern King Ye Feng was a person of high status and potentially the first in the Mortal World, he remained a man of loyalty and righteousness.
"Get up, this is not your fault, the blame does not lie with you," said Second Sect Leader Shi Yehong, his eyes nearly moist, as he hurried over to help Ye Feng to his feet.
