Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 763 - 737: The Fish Has Taken the Bait

Hong Dize and Hong Renze knelt there stiffly, their meridians now shattered and their dantians forced out, rendering them essentially cripples.

Despite the severe pain ravaging their bodies, neither dared to make so much as a sound, for the aura Ye Feng had displayed was overwhelmingly powerful.

Although Hong Tianze stood his ground, a chill shot up from his feet to his forehead. Even as he tried desperately to retain his composure, his legs still involuntarily trembled.

Both faces were undoubtedly etched with intense fear.

There was a time, not more than a year and a half ago, when the three of them could easily suppress Ye Feng. Back in the Northern Cloud Residence, they had joined forces to set up the Fiery Sun Great Formation and had almost left Ye Feng powerless to fight back.

But in less than two years, Ye Feng had grown terrifyingly strong. Without even lifting a finger, just a single glance had brought Hong Dize and his comrade to their knees, even shattering their dantians.

Hong Dize and his companion had already reached the pinnacle of Foundation Establishment, on the cusp of breaking through to the Golden Core Realm. Yet even at this level, they were still utterly crushed by Ye Feng.

In fact, what Hong Tianze and his brothers didn't realize was that even as strong as the Golden Core Realm, they would still be unable to withstand Ye Feng's oppressive presence, for his power had reached unfathomable depths.

Throughout this ordeal, Hong Qingyan had simply watched in silence without intervening. Naturally, she couldn't care less to do so. Although she also bore the Hong surname, she had virtually no affection for the Hong Family of the Ancient Clan. These three had even tried to kill Big Brother Ye back then, and their current crippled state was nothing but their own doing. freёweɓnovel.com

Suddenly shaking his head with a sigh of resignation, Hong Tianze turned and motioned with his hand, "Mr. Ye, please go ahead."

Without another word, Ye Feng took Hong Qingyan's hand and stepped out of the hall.

Hong Tianze quickly seized the moment to feed a Pill Medicine to Hong Dize and the other, improving their condition slightly.

"The Old Northern King warned us not to provoke him. Don't you understand?" Hong Tianze shook his head as he said, "Ye Feng is no longer the same. Do you regret your actions now?"

Grinding his teeth, Hong Dize growled, "Who would have thought this Ye Feng had grown so much stronger? We concede today, but once we return to the clan territory, his death is certain."

With gritted teeth, Hong Renze added, "When that time comes, I will personally slice off his flesh one piece at a time, drink his blood dry, and take his head for a trophy ball!"

"You two, keep it down. If you anger him again, you can forget about your little lives!" warned Hong Tianze, shaking his head in disbelief.

By now, Ye Feng had reached the courtyard, too indifferent to bother with the trio behind him. Just as he arrived, he suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure.

This person, dressed in a green robe, was sitting by the lake, lost in thought.

"Ning Weiwei?" Hong Qingyan was the first to call out before making her way over.

Ning Weiwei, hearing the sound, turned to see Ye Feng and Hong Qingyan approaching and, without a word, made to leave.

"Weiwei, wait a moment!" Hong Qingyan called after her, catching up and grabbing her arm. "Why are you leaving as soon as you see us?"

Ning Weiwei, the daughter of the Old Northern King, had initially harbored resentment against Ye Feng due to her father and had been indifferent towards him. Even after realizing her father's good intentions, there was still a significant distance between her and Ye Feng.

Consequently, the proud and haughty Ning Weiwei had refused to follow Ye Feng, choosing instead to collaborate with the second- and third-generation members of the Utility Pavilion.

It had been said that later, Ning Weiwei joined forces with some distinguished young men from the imperial city to venture into the Outer Battlefield. But her experience there seemed less than successful; as of now, Ning Weiwei had only reached the third layer of the Spirit Division Realm of the Divine Path.

She had not only failed to reach the Saint Realm but had also continued on the Martial Dao, never choosing to abandon Martial Arts for Daoism. This undoubtedly left her far behind.

Ning Weiwei was once considered a genius with some talent in the Utility Pavilion, but years of pride and obstinance had left her far behind, not even on par with Ye Feng's subordinates, let alone matching Ye Feng himself.

In fact, it wasn't just Ye Feng's subordinates— even the subordinates' subordinates, such as Gai Jiuyou's commanders like Chu Huaimin and Cao Tian, were now well beyond Ning Weiwei's reach.

Blocked from departing, Ning Weiwei could only stop and say, "Why have you suddenly come back?"

"We've returned for some business," replied Hong Qingyan. "Speaking of which, I heard you also teamed up to enter the Outer Battlefield. How did that go? Did you gain anything?"

Ning Weiwei's face fell dark as she shook her head, lamenting, "Let's not talk about it. We barely started when we encountered a formidable monster. Many of our teammates died or were injured, and I only survived because I had a protective Magic Treasure. We returned from the Outer Battlefield shortly after that."

Understandingly, Hong Qingyan nodded. "Yes, the dangers of the Outer Battlefield are many, and without sufficient experience or a powerful leader to guide, it's easy to encounter danger. You're lucky to have made it back alive."

Pausing for a moment, Hong Qingyan added, "How about this, Weiwei? From now on, why don't you join us? Big Brother Ye has become much stronger now, and with his guidance, it'll be safer."

Without responding, Ning Weiwei fell silent, biting her lip and looking down. Inside, she was already wavering, even tempted, but as someone always bound by pride, she found it hard to swallow her ego.

Ye Feng, watching this, felt a sudden pang of guilt. After all, although Ning Weiwei could be stubborn and willful, she was inherently not bad by nature. And due to the history with the Old Northern King, Ye Feng and Ning Weiwei were, in a way, like siblings, considering how the Old Northern King had treated him like his own son.

Ye Feng still remembered that when the Old Northern King was on his deathbed, he had entrusted him to take good care of Ning Weiwei in the future. However, now it seemed that Ye Feng had neither fulfilled the Old Northern King's request nor carried out his responsibility as a brother.

With this thought, Ye Feng stepped forward and said, "I need to return to the Hong Family of the Ancient Clan with Qingyan. Once things there are settled, I will take you to the Outer Battlefield and let you cultivate in the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm. But before that, I have a task for you. Only after you've completed this task will you be qualified to enter the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm for cultivation."

In fact, Ye Feng understood Ning Weiwei's character very well. She was a girl with high aspirations and great pride, so his words had been carefully considered.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Ning Weiwei immediately raised her chin and asked, "I've heard about the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm too. It's an excellent place to break through to the Golden Core Realm. Just tell me what the task is, and I assure you it will be completely done."

Ye Feng immediately said, "I'm giving you half a month. During this time, you must abandon Martial Arts for Daoism completely."

"Abandon Martial Arts for Daoism?" Ning Weiwei frowned.

Seeing this, Ye Feng felt a surge of self-reproach. It seemed that Ning Weiwei still had no idea what abandoning Martial Arts for Daoism meant. Thereupon, he flipped his wrist and took out a piece of cowhide, saying, "On this cowhide, I have recorded detailed instructions about abandoning Martial Arts for Daoism. Additionally, there is a Dao Technique, which isn't too profound. With your talent, you should understand it at one glance. Of course, if you can't comprehend it, then there's no need for you to continue on the path of Daoism."

With that, Ye Feng flipped his wrist again and a brocade box appeared in the palm of his hand. He then handed the brocade box over, saying, "This brocade box contains fifteen superior Spirit Stones, enough for you to abandon Martial Arts for Daoism. In half a month, my condition is that you complete abandoning Martial Arts for Daoism and initially step into the Foundation Establishment Realm. If you don't achieve this, it means your talent is too poor, and you'd better be an ordinary person from then on."

Ning Weiwei was shocked, unconsciously widening her eyes as she looked at Ye Feng, and said, "Fifteen superior Spirit Stones, these are Spirit Stones, and superior ones at that! I've heard from other companions that Spirit Stones are extremely precious, not to mention superior Spirit Stones!"

What Ning Weiwei didn't know was that the parchment Ye Feng gave her was far more precious than those fifteen Spirit Stones.

Hong Qingyan smiled and said, "Since it's something Big Brother Ye has given you, you should quickly accept it."

"Remember, half a month!" Ye Feng said no more, and immediately took Hong Qingyan's hand and left.

As Ning Weiwei looked at the weighty brocade box in her hand, she suddenly clenched her teeth and declared, "Half a month's time, I will definitely do it. After all, I am the Old Northern King's daughter, and I am not lacking!"

Ye Feng, who had already walked a good distance away, heard her words and couldn't help but lift the corners of his mouth slightly. That proud and lofty Ning Weiwei was finally willing to acknowledge her father.

After they stepped out of the gate, the three elders of the Hong Family were close behind.

Hong Tianze said, "The territory of the Hong Clan is located in the middle of the Kunlun Hundred Thousand Great Mountains to the west, and it's a considerable distance away. The two of you must follow us closely and not get lost!"

After finishing his words, he, along with Hong Dize and Hong Renze, soared into the sky, while Ye Feng simply smiled faintly, following closely with Hong Qingyan.

The group of five moved swiftly towards the west at great speed.

In fact, the Kunlun Mountain Range was the ancestral mountain range of the Xuanyuan Nation. Throughout history, many prodigies had chosen to seclude themselves there, and even in the Ancient Era, there were rumors that Kunlun Mountain was a divine mountain with immortal Daoist retreats. In short, Kunlun Mountain had many legendary myths associated with it.

Ye Feng was not sure about the veracity of other stories, but the presence of the Four Great Ancient Clans in the depths of Kunlun mountain range was undeniable. With Ye Feng's current level of cultivation strength, if he released his spiritual power, he could cover the entire Kunlun Mountain Range. In other words, if he so desired, not even an ant within the mountains could escape his divine sight.

However, as one of the Four Great Ancient Clans, with a legacy spanning over two thousand years, they naturally had some unknown methods at their disposal. Not to mention, the Mountain Defense Grand Formation was definitely there, and these Great Formations were likely hidden and not easy to detect, even with Ye Feng's use of spiritual power.

About half a day later, Hong Tianze finally slowed down and began to descend slowly towards the deep mountains below.

"Ahead is the entrance to our Hong Clan Territory!" Hong Tianze announced, pointing toward a secluded and deep ravine.

The ravine was shrouded in mist, making it impossible to see the situation below, but Hong Tianze, followed by the other two, dove straight into it, with Ye Feng silently behind them.

The ravine was not very deep, and soon they reached the bottom, but there was no path at the base, only some peculiar rocks.

Suddenly, Hong Tianze pulled out a strangely shaped key and inserted it into a groove in one of the rocks. With a rumbling sound, the rock slowly moved aside, revealing a gateway.

"Mr. Ye, after you," Hong Tianze said, stepping aside with a gesture.

Ye Feng remained silent, taking Hong Qingyan's hand and walking in.

Seeing this, Hong Dize and Hong Renze couldn't help but raise the corners of their mouths in a sinister, cold smile, "Good, the fish has taken the bait. Now it's time to close the net; let's see how this youngster dies this time!"

"You two should talk less. I don't know why, but nowadays, whenever I see Ye Feng, I have this inexplicable sense of trepidation. I'm afraid he's no longer the man he once was, and even our Hong Family might not be able to handle him!" Hong Tianze expressed.

Hong Renze clenched his teeth and snorted, "That's impossible. Our Hong Family is one of the Four Great Ancient Clans with deep foundations. Now we're even collaborating with the Bu Family to set a trap. This youngster Ye Feng is undoubtedly doomed this time!"

Hong Tianze shook his head and said, "You should save your breath. In any case, once he's been lured here, I have no plans to show up. I intend to enter secluded cultivation to breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm!"

After saying this, the three of them also entered, and then Hong Tianze slapped the rock, causing the gateway to slowly close again.
