Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 739 - 719: Fight Until Submission

As Ye Feng's words fell, Old Man Huang Niu finally sensed it too, and he couldn't help but say in a deep voice, "Quite a number of people are coming. Judging from their aura, they should be from the Independent Cultivator League!"

Because the wraiths nearby and the resentment in this area had been eliminated, even the miasmic and grey fog in the surroundings had dissipated substantially. Soon everyone could see figures rapidly approaching this way.

It was indeed the people from the Independent Cultivator Alliance of Xuanyuan Nation, led by an old man in a cyan cloth robe, who was thin and tall with a goatee beard.

With a slight sensing, Ye Feng made out that this person was likely at the Second Seal Yin-Yang Realm in terms of cultivation level. In addition, there were two great powers of the One Seal Yin-Yang Realm following him, and more than ten experts of the Golden Core Realm where behind them. In fact, those who could safely enter here were at least in the Golden Core Realm.

Old Man Huang Niu transmitted his voice at this time, "This person is the Alliance Hierarch of our Independent Cultivator Alliance of Xuanyuan Nation, Qingzi Mountain, and he is somewhat upright."

Ye Feng nodded slightly upon hearing this.

By this time, the group had already approached. Qingzi Mountain stepped forward with clasped hands and said, "So it's Mr. Huang and Mr. Ye Feng, what a pleasant surprise."

He didn't address Ye Feng as 'Lord Leader' like Old Man Huang Niu and others did, which seemed to suggest that he hadn't acknowledged Ye Feng's status as the new leader in his heart. However, he added the word 'mister' to Ye Feng's name, showing recognition for Ye Feng's current talent and strength and placing him on an equal footing.

Ye Feng also raised his hand in greeting, "I have long admired Senior Qing's renowned name, it's an honor to meet you!"

Subsequently, there were more pleasantries exchanged among the group. This was the first time Ye Feng had met a relatively friendly force since entering Sky Burial Valley.

"Speaking of which, where do you all plan to go treasure hunting next?" Ye Feng directly asked. He felt the call from the area between the two mountains ahead growing stronger and did not want to waste too much time here.

Qingzi Mountain didn't beat around the bush and said, "We are planning on heading to Two Pillar Mountain."

"Two Pillar Mountain? Is that the pair of large mountains side by side up ahead?" Ye Feng pointed forward.

"Exactly, Two Pillar Mountain was originally the largest of the two mountains in this region of Sky Burial Valley, like two pillars plunging into the earth, and there used to be a huge waterfall hanging there in the middle. However, due to the great battle over two thousand years ago, Two Pillar Mountain broke apart, and even the waterfall has now disappeared," Qingzi Mountain explained.

Old Man Huang Niu added, "During that battle more than two thousand years ago, it was on Two Pillar Mountain where the Human Race fought against the great power of the Demon Horn Tribe. Originally, we were planning to go there to investigate as well."

Ye Feng nodded and proposed, "In that case, how about we travel together?"

Qingzi Mountain pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

"The miasma is getting thicker. We should not delay any further. Let us set off now!" Ye Feng said and clasped hands in farewell. Then, taking Hong Qingyan's hand, he took the lead and flew upwards.

Yu Feiyu's expression darkened upon seeing this scene, but he said nothing more.

"Let's go, silly disciple, we're leaving too!" Old Man Huang Niu shook his head, patted Yu Feiyu on the head, and then the people of the Northwest also rose and flew after them.

At this moment, a great power of the Independent Cultivator League dressed in a black long robe approached Qingzi Mountain and whispered, "Alliance Hierarch, are we really going to travel with them? We don't know this Ye Feng, what if on the way they..."

However, before he could finish, Qingzi Mountain gestured with his hand and said, "It's fine. Since he has been chosen by the Northwest Little Mountain Village as the new leader, his character should be decent, and he surely won't do anything untoward. Besides, everyone has seen what Ye Feng did in the defense battle of the Great Wall of Heaven."

The man nodded and then tentatively asked, "If you think Ye Feng is good, Alliance Hierarch, why not acknowledge him as the new leader?"

"You're still too young and know too little; your foresight is also limited," Qingzi Mountain chuckled in response. "Let me tell you, leaving aside the other Three Great Powers, just our Xuanyuan Nation's Xuanyuan Hall, especially the First Hall Master, is not simple at all."

"Does the Alliance Hierarch mean to say the First Hall Master can completely suppress this new leader, Ye Feng?" the man quickly asked, but the subsequent conversation was a private transmission, so they were not worried about being overheard by others.

"Whether he can be suppressed is not something we can say right now. All you need to know is that the First Hall Master is extraordinary. Moreover, there's the Bu Family and the Hong Family. Do you really think those ancient ancestors are the strongest of the Ancient Clans? Let me tell you, the Four Great Ancient Clans have been passed down for over two thousand years and are not as simple as they appear!" Qingzi Mountain continued and patted his deputy on the shoulder, adding with a sneer, "We of the Independent Cultivator League remain loose cultivators because we prefer not to be involved in such struggles for power. We're used to being free and don't like to be constrained. Of course, when the Demon Horn Tribe invades and the Lord Leader issues an edict, we must still rush to the front lines."

"That's a given, after all, the Human Realm is our home, and it is everyone's duty to defend it!" the man said.

"That's good to hear. I'm relieved that everyone has such awareness. Regarding whether or not to acknowledge Ye Feng as the new leader, that's not for us to consider. Besides, with his current qualifications, he might not be able to firmly hold on to that position. We'll just watch the excitement from the side. Let's go; it seems we've fallen a bit behind. Let's catch up!" Qingzi Mountain finished speaking and, taking the lead, steered the group towards the direction of Two Pillar Mountain.

Along the way, Old Man Huang Niu transmitted to ask, "Lord Leader, what do you think of Qingzi Mountain?"

Ye Feng replied with a light smile, "He seems to be a decent person, but he is accustomed to freedom. Such people usually do not like to be bound, so I did not try to rally him earlier. Of course, there is no need to do so. I believe that when it comes time to defend the Human Realm, he will be able to unite and exert effort."

Old Man Huang Niu nodded and smiled, "The new Lord Leader is indeed the choice of Old Long, your words are the same as what I told him back then, the overall policy is basically the same."

However, Ye Feng suddenly furrowed his brows and said in a deep voice, "Nevertheless, there's a saying which goes, heavy governance is necessary in chaotic times. It is precisely because of the slackened management before, even ideologically too lax, that everyone became carefree and even internal strife and consumption arose."

Old Man Huang Niu could no longer smile and sighed, "Indeed, it was excusable back then, after all, the Great Wall of Heaven did not show signs of collapsing and crumbling, so everyone thought that with this natural barrier, there were no threats."

Ye Feng continued in a cold voice, "But that was in the past, today is not like before. If we let this situation continue, when the Demon Horn Tribe invades in force, the resistance of the many powers of the Human Race will entirely depend on their conscience, which is very dangerous. If everyone is reluctant to put in the effort, hoping others will fight while they hide in the back and preserve their strength, who will be there to protect the Human Realm then?"

Old Man Huang Niu pondered for a moment and nodded, asking, "Then in Lord Leader's view, what should we do next to change this situation?"

Ye Feng slightly raised his head and looked at the vast land ahead, his voice cold, "Right now, my cultivation level has not reached Perfection, and I am only recognized by you and the two ancient clans from Xiao Chi. As for the others, let alone the other Three Great Powers, even the Bu and Hong families of Xuanyuan Hall are extremely disdainful of me, not to mention recognizing me as the new Lord Leader!"

"One year, I have set a target for myself. Within a certain time, I shall cultivate that technique to Great Perfection. Then, I will start with the Bu Hong Ancestor's house. If they are not convinced, I will fight until they are. As long as the two great ancient clans are subdued, the influence of the Nine Great Sects will naturally not dare to act rashly, and then I'll deal with the other Three Great Powers!"

As he spoke, Ye Feng's tone gradually grew colder, his entire presence exuding a sovereign's dominance, "Just as the saying goes, heavy governance is necessary in chaotic times. In the upcoming defense battle of the Human Realm, I will absolutely not allow the occurrence of passive resistance from other powers like in the Great Wall of Heaven defense battle!"

Old Man Huang Niu let out a long sigh upon hearing this and said, "Looking at it now, perhaps Old Long was wrong after all, he shouldn't have been so soft-hearted."

Ye Feng also sighed, "It wasn't wrong for Senior Brother to be kind-hearted, but he was kind-hearted to the wrong people. I will definitely not walk the same old path as him!"

Old Man Huang Niu did not speak any further, clearly agreeing with Ye Feng's view. However, he was well aware that the path Ye Feng intended to take was undoubtedly the most correct given the current situation, but such a path was bound to be much more difficult, and the resistance he would encounter much greater.

At this moment, Ye Feng's gaze shifted as he suddenly cracked a mocking smile, "They're here."

Old Man Huang Niu couldn't help but ask, "Who's here?"

"The Bu and Hong families!" Ye Feng replied with a cold smile.

It was not until then that Old Man Huang Niu sensed the movements of the people from the left, and he had to admit that Ye Feng's cultivation strength had now completely surpassed his own.

Suddenly, more than twenty dark shadows swept swiftly towards them. It wasn't anyone else who arrived, but the Bu Family Patriarch and the Ancestor of the Hong Family, along with the direct lineages of the two great ancient clans.

Including the two elders from the Bu and Hong families, these two patriarchs had brought two Great Powers of the Yin-Yang Realm and ten Experts of the Golden Core Realm.

"Haha, enemies often cross each other's paths, who would've thought that I would finally catch you, Ye Feng. Now, what more do you have to say?" Hong Wuji shouted coldly as soon as he spotted Ye Feng, then swiftly charged towards him.

Ye Feng could only sneer in response, "You're right, I indeed have nothing to say to you!"

"Good that you have nothing to say. After all, speaking more is just a waste of breath for a man about to die!" Hong Wuji snorted coldly as he swept near, while at the same time, the Bu Family Patriarch also led a group of strong cultivators towards them.

Old Man Huang Niu hummed sternly, "Hong Wuji, seems like you really do not take the new Lord Leader seriously? Looking at you, do you want to start a war?"

Hong Wuji only then noticed the group of more than a dozen strong individuals from the Northwest and clenched his teeth but did not dare to speak again.

Although Hong Wuji did not take Ye Feng seriously, he could not disregard the forces of the Northwest people.

After a while, many from the Independent Cultivator League of Qingzi Mountain also arrived. However, after assessing the situation, they directly moved to the side, making the attitude of the Independent Cultivator League immediately clear—they would decide whether to help or not based on how the situation unfolded.

"Brother Bu, what should we do now? Should we make a move?" Hong Wuji suddenly transmitted a message to the Bu Family Patriarch.

The Bu Family Patriarch also furrowed his brows. Although they had the numerical advantage, if a real battle broke out, the strength of the Northwest people was renowned, and they might not gain any advantage at all.

"Judging from their direction, they should also be heading to Two Pillar Mountain. With Ye Feng having the backing of the Northwest people, it's not advisable for us to make the first move and waste our strength. Let's first go to Two Pillar Mountain and see the situation before deciding!" the Bu Family Patriarch said.

Hong Wuji nodded slightly and then huffed coldly, "Starting a battle is unnecessary. Since this Ye has the support of you Northwest people, he's lucky. It seems you also plan to go to Two Pillar Mountain, so let's wait and see!"

After finishing his words, Hong Wuji took the lead in moving quickly, leading the more than ten experts of the Hong Family away swiftly.

"We should go too, head to Two Pillar Mountain first!" The Bu Family Patriarch stated and likewise quickly departed.

Ye Feng narrowed his eyes but did not make a move, after all, it was not yet the right time. With all the major powers now converging on Two Pillar Mountain, he also had to hurry there to investigate the situation further.
