Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 305: The Tall Guy Takes the Fall
Ye Feng had never expected that his well-hidden presence and the successful provocation of internal strife among the three Great Sects due to the deaths of two disciples of Mount Shu would suddenly turn the tables, pointing the finger at him instead. Read exclusive content at novelbuddy
How does the saying go, "Fortune turns like a wheel; who is spared by the heavens!"
This time, Yue Dengchuan unexpectedly kept his mouth shut and did not stand up to protect his good brother, Qin Xiao (Ye Feng), because he could clearly see that, under the current circumstances, and especially in a crucial place like Fallen Dragon Valley, having Ma Qinghuan willing to protect him was already the utmost extent of help he could expect.
If he were still to foolishly oppose the two undying old men from Mount Shu and Tang Sect like he did before, even Ma Qinghuan might abandon him.
The elder from Mount Shu, donning a high crown, swung his longsword and bellowed, "Killing two of Mount Shu’s disciples, one a Martial King and the other a Great Grandmaster, if the Underworld does not offer our two men’s lives in exchange, where does Mount Shu put its face?"
While Ma Qinghuan was hesitating, Ye Feng knew that he could no longer remain silent. Of course, it was still inappropriate to reveal his identity, for if he did, not only would the three God Gathering Realm experts immediately make their move, but the Divine Path Experts guarding each entrance of the Fallen Dragon Valley would also rush over upon hearing the news.
Moreover, Ye Feng had a vague intuition that with the Nine Great Sects causing such a stir this time, even going so far as to draw the Ghost Qi from an alternate space-time, it must be for no small purpose, and it was very likely that the Divine Ability Realm experts from the Nine Great Sects had already been dispatched.

Of course, up until now, Ye Feng had not seen any experts of the Divine Communication Realm or Divine Ability Realm Level, which could be related to the several Grand Sect Leaders and the Great General of Nation Guard.
For this event in the Central Region, several Guardian Sect Leaders as well as a few from the General’s Mansion had come; the Nine Great Sects would definitely have taken precautions.
In other words, Ye Feng only needed to worry about the God Gathering Realm experts guarding Fallen Dragon Valley.
"Master Ma, everyone knows your prestigious name within the Underworld; even among the Nine Great Sects, you have a pivotal status. Since you have already taken Senior Brother Yue as your disciple, I am also considered half your disciple. My worthless life dying is not a big deal, but them pressuring me to kill in your presence is clearly a sign of disrespect towards you!"
Ye Feng stepped forward and began to speak out, brazenly making things up without much thought.
Ma Qinghuan’s complexion instantly turned sour, thinking that it did seem to be the case. Coming from the same Underworld, if she couldn’t even protect her half-disciple, how could she ever hold her head up high before the Nine Great Sects in the future?
Ma Qinghuan was, after all, a woman, and a prideful and stubborn one at that. When this woman got vicious, she often didn’t care about the consequences, whether it involved the Fallen Dragon Valley or the grand scheme of the Nine Great Sects.
"To think of killing someone in front of me? There’s no way! Senior Brother Niu, how long do you intend to watch? They are about to trample all over me. You’ve ridden my coattails for so long; if you’re a man, show yourself!"
Ma Qinghuan turned her head and roared towards the dense woods to her left.
"You insolent woman, do you really think I am so easily swayed by your words!" With a bellow, a burly man with a long face soared into the sky and landed in front of everyone.
This person was Ox Head. In fact, Ye Feng had already noticed his presence and had calculated that as long as he stirred the pot with a few words, Horse Face would definitely not be able to stomach it and would drag her old flame into the fray.
As expected, everything was within his calculation. However, there was only a day and a half left until seven days were up, and his time was running short.
If he could not find the antidote for the miasma after seven days, the hundreds of thousands of people in Central Region would inevitably become walking corpses. Once they turned into that kind of being, the important figures within the Nation would absolutely not allow them to continue existing in this world.
What’s even more lethal is that the Ghost Qi was still spreading. Without cutting off the source, there would be more and more people in Xuanyuan Nation infected and turned into walking corpses. By then, the fall of Xuanyuan Nation would not be far off.
In fact, all these were still secondary concerns. Ye Feng even had a vague feeling that the Nine Great Sects would not have caused such a huge commotion at any cost if it were just to exterminate people. There must be an even greater, unspeakable purpose behind it.
As for what the Nine Great Sects’ plot was, Ye Feng still could not figure it out!
"Look, making all this fuss over two insignificant disciples—if this gets out, where will you old guys put your faces?" Ox Head slowly walked over shouldering his Wolf Fang Club.
Being also an expert of the God Gathering Realm, his arrival immediately changed the dynamics of the scene.
The elder from Mount Shu snorted angrily, "It’s not your disciples from the Underworld who are dying, so of course you can speak so lightly, Ox Head. I advise you not to interfere, otherwise, if you ruin the millennium plan, the Nine Great Sects won’t let you off!"
Ox Head chuckled, "You’re making me so scared. You keep mentioning the Nine Great Sects, but if there’s trouble to be had, we’ll face it together. I have only one thing to say today: Horse Face is a woman I have ridden, and if you want to touch her, you’ll have to ask if my Wolf Fang Club agrees!"
"Truly a lower-body animal. Since that’s the case, don’t blame me for not holding back!" The elder from Mount Shu was so angry he gritted his teeth.
At this moment, the disciples from Mount Shu also grew angry and shouted one after another, "Elder Uncle, we from Mount Shu are no fewer than those from the Underworld. Moreover, this place is the depths of Fallen Dragon Valley, impossible for anyone to break through. Let’s wipe out these scoundrels first!"
Ye Feng, witnessing the scene, hoping for chaos to ensue, also shouted, "Brothers from the Underworld, Mount Shu and Tang Sect are bullying us, showing no respect for our Underworld. Let’s fight them!"
This immediately threw everything into chaos, like ants exploding out of a nest. Disciples from Mount Shu and the Tang Sect started attacking, and the Underworld side also showed no weakness. They drew their weapons and clashed, sparking a massive melee.
Seeing this unfold, the elder from Mount Shu and someone from Tang Family Mountain knew they could no longer hold back. If they continued to tolerate this, they would lose all authority within their Sects.
Following a furious roar, these two God Gathering Realm Divine Path Experts made their move. The Glazed Sword in their hands emitted dazzling sword flowers as they charged directly at Ma Qinghuan.
Tang Family Mountain swung the Purple Gold Heavy Hammer in his hand, rushing towards the burly Ox Head for battle.
In an instant, the entire valley was filled with battle cries, a black steed thundered out, and a ferocious yak roared as it trampled the earth, rolling into battle.
The four God Gathering Realm Divine Path Experts each revealed their Divine Path Objects and stood together.
At this moment, on another side of the valley, two middle-aged men in white Confucian robes, one holding a fine folding fan, the other wielding a Red Gold Pen, stood atop a bluestone.
Looking in the direction from which the sounds of battle came, they couldn’t help but curse under their breath, "Damn it, these rascals from the Underworld and Mount Shu really know how to make a mess at the most critical moment."
The man holding the Red Gold Pen chuckled, "Senior Brother, we’re cultured men, how could we resort to cursing? The Master has said, ’In dealing with others...’"
"Enough, enough, stop with your pretentious culture, isn’t it just sour?" The man with the folding fan interrupted impatiently.
It turned out these two were also from the Nine Great Sects of Ancient Martial Arts, from the Sacred Mansion. Both had a strong presence, were also God Gathering Realm Divine Path Experts, and at the peak of the God Gathering Realm, just a step away from entering the Divine Communication Realm.
Actually, the Sacred Mansion of present days was not called so three thousand years ago; it was known as the Confucian Sect. However, due to the earth-shaking calamity at that time, many from the Confucian Sect died or fled, and the survivors dared not call themselves by that name, hence the change to Sacred Mansion.
"They really don’t know how to lighten up over there. If they mess up the big plan, the Nine Great Sects definitely won’t let them off easily. Senior Brother, should we go over and take a look?" The Red Gold Pen Scholar suddenly asked again.
"Go over for what? Don’t forget, our duty is to guard this pass. Whatever happens over there isn’t our concern, but if we leave our post and something goes wrong..."
At this point, the man with the folding fan snorted coldly and did not continue, but his meaning was very clear.
The other Red Gold Pen Scholar nodded, "Senior Brother is absolutely right. No wonder no one from the other checkpoints has rushed over. We don’t need to worry about their nonsense."
"However, Senior Brother, it’s been almost six days. Do you think there will be any movement from the Utility Pavilion?"
"If there’s movement, it’s normal. If there’s no movement, that would be abnormal. Just rest easy. If something happens, there are taller people to handle it. Didn’t you see that several Mansion Lords from our Sacred Mansion have already taken action? We just need to stand guard here.
As long as we get past seven days, our duty will be done!"
The man with the folding fan let out an impatient snort, then chuckled as he opened his fan, seemingly interested in watching the great battle unfolding elsewhere.
