Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 489 - 485: Unveiling the Mysterious Veil of the Small Mountain Village

After the people of the Tang Sect entered the tavern, Ye Feng waited in a private room inside. Naturally, the leader of the Tang Sect happily agreed to Ye Feng's proposal, and of course, Ye Feng couldn't let them help for free—he allocated a spot from his own side.

This spot was originally prepared for Hong Qingyan, but seeing how the situation was unfolding, it seemed no longer necessary, and it served as a perfect token of gratitude to the Tang Sect. Since it didn't involve one of the twenty spots from the Nine Great Sects of Ancient Martial Arts, naturally, the other Sects wouldn't object. After all, Ye Feng hadn't violated the principle of fairness and justice.

To be on the safe side, Ye Feng didn't stay long and suggested they leave immediately. The night was long and full of uncertainties, and the Ancient Hong Clan had no trivial foundation. Now that Long Nannan and Sausage Sister were both gone, if the Ancient Hong Clan came again to take someone, Ye Feng might be able to contend with these Clan Elders, but he definitely couldn't ensure Hong Qingyan's safety.

And if Hong Qingyan were forcibly taken back to the Hong Family, given the temperament of the Four Great Ancient Clans, it was feared they would indeed forcibly extract her bloodline. In that case, Hong Qingyan, even if not dead, would become crippled, which was absolutely not something Ye Feng wanted to see.

"Leave now? But where is the person?" asked the leader of the Tang Sect.

Ye Feng chuckled lightly and said, "The person is already in your team. Don't ask anything; just lead the team and depart."

The leader of the Tang Sect paused for a moment, then nodded, his heart couldn't help but be filled with admiration. True to the reputation of His Highness Northern King, the man who had once slain two elders from the Confucian and Buddhist Sects, so much had been done right under his nose without any detection.

Earlier, when Ye Feng was on his way to the tavern, he had already instructed Yu Feiyu to take Hong Qingyan. Using the moments when the team was resting, they managed to sneak Hong Qingyan into one of the vehicles without a sound.

The vehicle was spacious enough that with the backseats folded down, Hong Qingyan could lie down flat, so it wasn't too uncomfortable for her.

The Tang Sect's team quickly set off. To outsiders, they appeared to be just taking a brief break at the tavern, so they aroused no suspicions.

Indeed, as Ye Feng had anticipated, although the four Clan Elders of the Ancient Hong Clan had been repelled and fled in disarray, they had planted two Foundation Establishment masters to watch over Northern Cloud Residence day and night. More precisely, they were monitoring Hong Qingyan's exact location.

However, for these two Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, even if they were positioned opposite Northern Cloud Residence, watching day and night, with Ye Feng's current Cultivation Realm, it was relatively easy to evade their senses.

The Tang Sect's team quickly left the Inner City, and Ye Feng did not follow immediately. Instead, he returned to the Northern Cloud Residence to give brief instructions and then set off.

"Hmph, Ancient Hong Clan, truly an undying specter. Once I've settled Qingyan and gained experience in the Outer Battlefield, I'll surely visit your Hong Family and settle this account personally!" Ye Feng snorted and his figure vanished into thin air in the courtyard.

When the Tang Sect's team exited the Outer Imperial City, Yu Feiyu inside the vehicle felt a gust of wind, and Ye Feng suddenly appeared before her.

"Big Brother Ye, you almost gave me a big scare!" Yu Feiyu exclaimed in astonishment.

"Didn't I tell you I would follow soon after?" Ye Feng said with a smile.

"But the way you appeared just now was too ghostly. I didn't sense it at all beforehand." Yu Feiyu said. She was, after all, a practitioner of the Divine Path Realm, Fourth Realm Divine Communication Realm, but she paled in comparison to Ye Feng.

"Big Brother Ye, is this the formidable aspect of cultivators?" Yu Feiyu asked, harboring no doubt that if Ye Feng had wanted her life just now, she would probably not even know who had done her in—Ye Feng's power was just too terrifying.

Ye Feng nodded slightly and said, "Yes, why else would I have you disperse your current realm of cultivation, especially your Object of the Divine Path, and switch to the path of the cultivators?"

Yu Feiyu nodded and said, "I understand, Master. After switching paths, I will definitely practice diligently to catch up with you and Sister Qingyan as soon as possible."

Ye Feng remained silent and slowly closed his eyes. At that moment, Yu Feiyu didn't dare to speak again, but she had a feeling that her master was becoming stronger and stronger. If she didn't work harder, she feared that she wouldn't be able to see even his silhouette in the near future.

Meanwhile, no one in the Tang Sect's entire team, including the leader, realized that Ye Feng had joined them in the vehicle. The team continuously headed westward, and half a day later, they reached the critical location of Ten-mile Slope, entering the Western Territory without any incidents.

It seemed that the Ancient Hong Clan, due to the earlier heavy blows to the four Clan Elders, didn't send anyone else so quickly.

After four hours, night had fallen, and the caravan suddenly stopped because two diverging paths appeared ahead.

The leader of the Tang Sect signaled for the team to halt, then turned and walked to the last vehicle, saying, "There are two paths ahead. The left one leads to our Tang Sect, and if you continue on, you will reach our Sect's location."

Though he hadn't seen Ye Feng during the journey, intuition told the leader of the Tang Sect that Ye Feng was definitely inside this vehicle.

"Thank you for your efforts," said Ye Feng, and then the vehicle directly headed down the right fork.

"As it should be," said the leader of the Tang Sect with a slight bow, sending off the black car as it disappeared into the night. Then, with a grand wave of his hand, the team proceeded down the road to the left.

The deal was superbly lucrative for the Tang Sect, after all, they had merely taken someone along the way and now had an additional spot to enter the Outer Battlefield for free.

As for Ye Feng, he had already replaced the Tang Sect disciple who was driving during a rest stop earlier. Now, he drove the car himself, taking advantage of the cover of darkness to continue heading west. The Northwest Little Mountain Village was extremely mysterious, typically forbidding the entrance of outsiders under normal circumstances.

It wasn't until late at night that the car stopped at a cliffside surrounded by the lush and dense primordial forest, with occasional beast roars echoing in the air.

Yu Feiyu felt a shiver run down his spine and couldn't help but ask, "Master, don't tell me that the Northwest Little Mountain Village is down below this cliff?"

Ye Feng laughed and said, "If it were just below this cliff, then there would be nothing mysterious left about the Northwest Little Mountain Village. Remember, once we go down, stay close to me. The most important thing is to follow my footsteps and not make a single mistake. Got it?"

"Understood!" Yu Feiyu nodded slightly, seeing how seriously Ye Feng was taking this, she couldn't help but feel nervous and even more excited at the same time, thinking that she would soon see the mysterious village.

Holding Hong Qingyan in his arms and taking Yu Feiyu's hand, Ye Feng leaped off the cliff. The cliff was immensely deep, but that was hardly a challenge for Ye Feng, who was already capable of hovering in mid-air.

The three of them fell continuously, with Yu Feiyu only feeling the whistling wind by her ears, unsure of how long until they landed.

Below the cliff was a sea of flowers, and in front of the sea was a lake. Ye Feng led the two women to the lake and dived straight in.

Ten minutes later, the three of them emerged from the water, and before them now was a bamboo forest. The bamboo was lush and dripping with vigor, but Yu Feiyu could tell that the placement of each bamboo was rather special, seemingly forming a powerful Formation.

At this point, Ye Feng became even more cautious than before, and Yu Feiyu became even more convinced of her thoughts.

At the end of the bamboo forest was a cave. Ye Feng stood in front of the cave entrance and took a deep breath, "Entering this cave, danger intensifies. The Formation inside is too formidable; you can't take a single wrong step, or I might not even be able to save you."

Yu Feiyu nodded, feeling even more tense.

The three then entered the cave. The entrance wasn't large and twisted in many directions. Yu Feiyu didn't know how long they walked until suddenly, the space opened up.

Utterly astonished, Yu Feiyu looked up and exclaimed, "Master, what... what is going on here? It was night just a moment ago, why is it daylight ahead?"

Ye Feng couldn't help but laugh, "I remember asking the same thing my first time here, but that little old man just wouldn't answer, leaving me puzzled. However, now I understand the reason."

"What is the reason?" Yu Feiyu immediately asked as they stepped out of the cave. Before them was a peaceful village scene with smoke curling up from chimneys, houses dotted here and there, and small bridges over flowing streams—it truly looked just like an ordinary little mountain village.

What Yu Feiyu couldn't comprehend was that, logically speaking, the time spent passing through the cave wasn't long, and it was clearly night before entering. Yet here, it had suddenly turned into day, which was seemingly impossible.

After entering, Ye Feng seemed to relax quite a bit. Jokingly, he said, "Why don't you guess?"

Yu Feiyu looked carefully around, noting that although it was daylight, there was no sun in the sky. After thinking for a bit, she said, "Master, could it be that this place is no longer the same world we were originally in?"

Ye Feng replied with a smile, "You can understand it that way."

With that, he nodded, then added, "It seems your talent is even brighter than mine. After we get here, practice diligently, and don't waste such a great gift."

"Yes, Master," Yu Feiyu said, ecstatic. She could feel that not only was the daylight different here, but even the air was unique, as if every cell in her body had come alive.

Yu Feiyu wasn't foolish and had already roughly guessed some aspects—air here was certainly not ordinary. In some sense, the Northwest Little Mountain Village might indeed be considered an outer-domain village.

What Yu Feiyu couldn't fathom, however, was how people had discovered such a place years ago. Of course, she knew that it was something she could never figure out on her own, so she simply gave up thinking about it.

Just then, an emaciated old man with his trouser legs rolled up, riding on an ox and whistling leisurely, came towards them, looking quite content.

"You, Kid Ye, must have forgotten the rules around here, bringing outsiders in!" The old man on the ox was still a hundred meters away when he spoke, but as his voice fell, he and his old ox had already reached Ye Feng.
