Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 320 Waiting for Someone!

After leaving the Great General’s Mansion, Xiao Chuanqi, who was seated in the passenger seat, couldn’t help but say, "Your Majesty, based on the current situation, it’s already obvious that the assault on you in the Capital Region a year ago was very likely related to the shadow of someone from the General’s Mansion."

Ye Feng didn’t speak; he had suspected as much long ago, but what of it? Knowing didn’t change anything, and knowledge alone couldn’t solve anything.

For instance, regarding his visit tonight, all he could do was just this much; just as he had told the other party, national hatred was national hatred, and family hatred was family hatred, the two absolutely shouldn’t be conflated. This was something that the Great General understood even better than himself.

After all, the identities of both parties were very special. If they truly treated each other with national enmity, then it would not only be the Capital City that was thrown into chaos but possibly the entire Xuanyuan Nation as well.

Duan Tian understood this better than anyone, which was why both parties had restrained themselves earlier, resulting finally in an agreement to treat the issue as family hatred.

This ultimately limited the scope and circumstances of their confrontation, keeping it within a certain and controllable range.

"Your Majesty, where shall we go next?" Xiao Chuanqi inquired, not skilled in such smokeless battles of wits.

"Originally I needed to make a trip to the Utility Pavilion, but that should be unnecessary now. I believe they have already arrived at Northern Cloud Residence. Let’s go back first; moreover, there are some matters that still require final confirmation," Ye Feng answered, slowly closing his eyes.

The rain was getting heavier, enveloping the entire Capital City in a relentless downpour. Beneath the rage of the rain, the ancient city was also stirring with an undercurrent of activity. The Inner City Zhang Family estate was brightly lit at the moment, filled with a dense crowd of people in the courtyard.

Despite the heavy rain, these people all stood as though they were javelins, each of them emanating a sharp aura, their presence extremely powerful. All were Great Grandmasters, as many as thirty in total.

In addition, standing inside the grand hall of the Zhang Family were eight Martial Kings and two Divine Path Realm powerhouses. The highest authority in the Zhang Family, the Vice Director of the Heaven Governance Division, had returned to the clan and now sat silent in the principal seat.

This was a thin old man with piercing hawk-like eyes, which revealed a sinister gleam amid their sharpness.

"Have all the best fighters in the clan assembled?" Patriarch Zhang asked suddenly in a cold voice.

"Father, two Divine Path experts, eight Martial Kings, and thirty Great Grandmasters have all been taken care of, and additionally, three of the clan’s Supreme Elders are also ready to emerge from seclusion," the head of the family, Zhang Lihao, spoke from the side.

Patriarch Zhang then asked, "What about the other families?"

Zhang Lihao replied, "The Lu Liangzhong and several other families have also finished assembling. They are ready to take action at any moment, just awaiting Father’s command."

Patriarch Zhang said coldly, "We can’t act now. With this level of strength, we are still not enough to contend with that one at the Northern Border. We have to wait for one more person."

Zhang Lihao couldn’t help but ask, "Wait for one more person, wait for who?"

Patriarch Zhang didn’t answer but coldly said, "You’ll know when that person arrives."

At this moment, Ye Feng had already made his way back to the Northern Cloud Residence amidst the rain, and just as he expected, guests had arrived—quite a few of them. They were no other than Second Sect Leader Shi Yehong from the Utility Pavilion, Boss Cao Yi from the Punishment Heaven Department, and this guy Zhang Wenyuan, which was somewhat surprising to Ye Feng.

These three individuals were undoubtedly Ye Feng’s best relations in the Capital City.

"Gentlemen, braving the rain and the deep night to visit my Northern Cloud Residence, what brings you here?" Ye Feng asked after taking his seat in the main hall.

Second Sect Leader Shi Yehong got straight to the point and said, "So it seems, do you really plan to make your move against them?"

Ye Feng didn’t hide his intentions, as his every move was under observation by the entire Capital City. Stay updated through novelbuddy

"When the sword is drawn, blood is expected," Ye Feng replied coolly.

"Have you considered the consequences of this action?" Shi Yehong demanded, his tone showing concern rather than accusation. Among all the powers in the Capital City, perhaps only he genuinely cared for Ye Feng.

Ye Feng did not reply to that question, seeing it as redundant.

However, Boss Cao Yi spoke up, "I’ve long found those bastards to be disagreeable, merely warming their own chairs. Getting rid of them is for the best. But this time, I do have some concerns. After all, these Aristocratic Clan Gates are deeply entrenched, so uprooting them will not be easy."

Turning to look at him, Ye Feng asked with a smile, "Boss Cao is a businessman, and a capable one at that. Any proper businessperson knows to hold out for a better offer. I wonder how Boss Cao has appraised this occasion?"

But Boss Cao rolled his eyes, responding irritably, "Appraised? Kid, I still have a choice in this. The one from the Zhang Family has never gotten along with me. I’d be more than happy if he hurried off to report to King Yama."

Ye Feng laughed and said, "So, how much does Boss Cao plan to invest this time?"

Cao Yi pondered seriously before replying, "My Cao Family is but a small household; we can’t compare to others with greater enterprises. Moreover, these old bones of mine can hardly manage walking, so I obviously can’t move carelessly. This time, I’ve brought five people with me."

After finishing his speech, he waved his hand, and five people appeared under the eaves outside the main hall—three Martial Kings and two Divine Path Realm experts. For the Cao Family, this was already a considerable force. It was clear that he was truly helping Ye Feng, not just pretending.

Ye Feng nodded slightly and then turned to look at Zhang Wenyuan, speaking leisurely, "You shouldn’t have come this time."

Zhang Wenyuan said irritably, "Your goddaughter has been driving me crazy these past few days. I thought it over and decided to hurry over and hand her back to you."

Ye Feng asked, "Only you came by yourself?"

Zhang Wenyuan replied, "Yes, the master only allowed me to come."

Ye Feng nodded again. Even though Zhang Wenyuan did not state it directly, Ye Feng could tell from his words that Grand Sect Leader Zhao Gongming intended not to interfere with the upcoming matter, neither meddling nor obstructing.

As the Grand Sect Leader of the Utility Pavilion, Zhao Gongming’s intentions naturally represented those of the Utility Pavilion. Ye Feng was aware of this, and it was enough!

Of course, Zhao Gongming allowing his direct disciple Zhang Wenyuan to come, to some extent, indicated that he was on Ye Feng’s side. Otherwise, he would not have agreed to let Zhang Wenyuan assist Ye Feng.

Finally, Ye Feng turned his gaze to Second Sect Leader Shi Yehong, raised the corners of his mouth, and smiled, "The Northern Cloud Residence is your disciple’s home; if it falls, you might not have a place to set foot in any longer."

Even though this was a jest, everyone could hear that there was an implied message in Ye Feng’s words: If he failed, it would undoubtedly mean he would be stripped of his position as the Northern King, and possibly even the power that the Second Sect Leader controlled in the Capital City would be purged.

The Second Sect Leader’s direct disciple, the Old Northern King Ning Wuya, was already dead. Of course, Ye Feng could now be considered the inheritor of his power. In such a power struggle, it often resulted in mutual glory or mutual downfall.

Conversely, if Ye Feng won this time, not only would his opponent’s forces suffer greatly, but it would also mean that Ye Feng’s status as the Great General would be solidified. That’s why Boss Cao Yi said it was a high-stakes gamble.

Shi Yehong clearly understood this, so he could not help but worry while also feeling excited, because this was the confrontation that would determine whether Ye Feng could firmly establish himself in the Capital City.

"I’ve only brought two people!" After Shi Yehong finished speaking, he waved his hand, and in an instant, two dark shadows swept from a dim corner to the forefront.

Ye Feng’s gaze couldn’t help but sharpen. Just now, he hadn’t even noticed these two people hiding in the corners of the main hall; this was enough to show that the two people Shi Yehong had brought were far more formidable than those brought by Boss Cao Yi, their strength unfathomable.

"Much obliged!" Ye Feng nodded to the two grey-clad elders. These individuals were not only Divine Path Realm experts but might even have reached the level of the Divine Communication Realm.

Shi Yehong asked, "Have you picked a location? Do you plan to do it here?"

"Of course not here. If I stay here, they probably won’t have the courage to come to my door!" Ye Feng said with a slight smile, then stood up and walked out.

Zhang Wenyuan immediately got up to follow closely behind, and Xiao Chuanqi, Sima Zhantian, and Leng Wuming also hurried to keep up. Boss Cao did not move, but the people he brought followed Ye Feng out, while the two Divine Path Divine Communication Realm masters that Shi Yehong brought had already vanished, evidently hiding and following in secret.

Just as Ye Feng reached the door, the voice of Long Nannan suddenly burst from the side hall corridor.

"Little Martial Uncle, I heard you’re preparing for a big event—it sounds so fun, how can you not include me!" Long Nannan trotted over, holding a lollipop in her hand.

Ye Feng said without good humor, "Why follow in such heavy rain."

Long Nannan retorted without hesitation, "I don’t care. As long as there’s fun to be had, I want to participate." With that, she dashed into the rain, pulled open a car door, and sat down inside.

Seeing this, Ye Feng could only shake his head and let it go. Although others might not know, he was well aware that Long Nannan, seemingly harmless on the surface, might actually be stronger than even the two powerful experts brought by Shi Yehong.

Of course, Ye Feng had never considered asking Long Nannan to lend a hand. In his eyes, she was still a child. Since she was a child, she should enjoy the innocent life that children deserve.

"It’s such a big event, and you didn’t even tell me, Master; you’re really not cool," suddenly Yu Feiyu emerged from the corridor, followed by nine Martial Kings and two Divine Path Realm experts.

This was undoubtedly a powerful display, possible only for the apple of Valley of the Medicine God’s eye.

Ye Feng felt somewhat moved in his heart. When faced with trouble and difficulties, Yu Feiyu, Zhang Wenyuan, Cao Yi, and the others stepped forward to help without a second word—true friendship is seen in times of trouble, it seemed.

Thus, he did not send Yu Feiyu away because he knew that even if he tried to persuade her, the apple of the Valley of the Medicine God would not listen. Ye Feng waved his hand and said, "Let’s go, to Heartbreak Cliff!"

Heartbreak Cliff, a place where hearts are broken, but tonight, it might not be just hearts that are broken, but lives!
