Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 531 - 526: Re-entering the Outer Battlefield, Skeleton Forest!

Xiao Chuanqi and Sima Zhantian, along with the others, exchanged glances and nodded at each other again.

Immediately thereafter, the six people once again said in unison, "Please grant us this, My Lord!"

Xiao Chuanqi's face was set with determination as he said, "My Lord, we know you are concerned for our safety, but by always following you, our progress will be slow. Without the tempering of life-and-death trials, it's difficult to achieve significant improvement."

Shadow also lifted her head, her stunning face bearing a look of determination, "My Lord, previously on the Outer Battlefield, it was you who intercepted the strong opponents. We have also noticed that the gap between your strength and ours is growing. Please allow us to cultivate independently so that we can make greater progress in our strength!"

"Only by doing so can we better protect you in the future!"

Shadow said with clenched teeth. In truth, she didn't want to leave Ye Feng's side, but she had slowly realized she could no longer keep up with his level of strength.

Ye Feng furrowed his brows, not expecting even Shadow, who always wanted to stay by his side, to say the same.

No sooner had Shadow finished speaking than Leng Wuming also spoke up, "Please rest assured, My Lord. Even if we leave to cultivate independently, we will leave in pairs, not alone."

"Please grant us this, My Lord!"

Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Ye Feng knew that the six of them were set on splitting up to cultivate independently. The words of Xiao Chuanqi and Shadow, he actually understood them well; indeed, it was just so, after all, his strength was much higher than the others, and he usually intercepted the strong foes, dealing with them himself.

Ye Feng sighed, feeling somewhat helpless yet moved, and finally nodded, "Fine, I permit you to act independently."

Upon hearing this, the faces of Xiao Chuanqi and the others lit up with joy, and they all bowed deeply.

"Thank you for granting us this, My Lord!"

Ye Feng looked at them, his face also showing a look of helplessness.

The next day, in front of the Northern Cloud Residence plaza, Xiao Chuanqi, Sima Zhantian, Leng Wuming, Shadow, as well as Gai Jiuyou and the Cao Family's direct lineage, Cao Tian, had already arrived at the location.

Ye Feng walked out of the Northern Cloud Residence with his hands behind his back. This time, there were no people from other sects or the Four Great Ancient Clans, just the seven of them.

The individuals from the Nine Great Clans and the Four Great Ancient Clans who had entered previously, other than those who had died, some prodigies had chosen to stay in the Outer Battlefield. Those who had returned were either injured and unable to continue cultivating, or they were essentially eliminated; in such an unforgiving environment, without the adequate Recovery Pill Medicine or the Spirit Stone that Li Benzhong had produced earlier, they couldn't recover. If their strength was insufficient, it was impossible to survive there, and staying would mean certain death. This was the law of survival of the fittest, where only the strong have the right to live.

Therefore, Ye Feng didn't say much to the others, only giving a heads-up to the Utility Pavilion.

Xiao Chuanqi and the others were already standing in groups, and as they had said the day before, they would be forming three teams for this journey into the Outer Battlefield.

Xiao Chuanqi and Sima Zhantian formed one team. The combination of their Immortal Blade and Immortal Sword allowed them to battle Powerhouses of the Sacred Realm and to retreat unscathed even from the hands of Golden Core Grandmasters.

Leng Wuming and Shadow formed another team. With Leng Wuming's strength, plus the Shadow's special abilities, they should at least have no major issues in terms of preserving their lives.

The Grand Corps Leader Gai Jiuyou was taking Cao Tian of the Cao Family with him. Gai Jiuyou had already entered the Outer Battlefield before, and there was no worry about his strength. Cao Tian also possessed the cultivation level of a Peak Martial King, and as long as he wasn't too foolish, with Gai Jiuyou looking after him, there shouldn't be a problem.

Observing their groupings, Ye Feng silently nodded to himself, feeling somewhat more at ease with these arrangements.

The helicopter blades had already started spinning, and everyone was ready to board.

At that moment, a figure flew across the sky.

Ye Feng, having recognized the newcomer, asked with a hint of surprise, "Grand Sect Leader, what brings you here?"

The person was none other than Grand Sect Leader Zhao Gongming.

Zhao Gongming looked at the people boarding the aircraft, his gaze serious. These were all significant figures by Ye Feng's side, and indeed they all planned to go to the Outer Battlefield.

However, he hadn't come for them; he approached Ye Feng and bowed, "Northern King, I have a request to make!"

"There's no need for formalities, Grand Sect Leader. Please speak," Ye Feng said, curious about what Zhao Gongming wanted.

Zhao Gongming spoke solemnly, "If the Northern King encounters my disciple Zhang Wenyuan in the Outer Battlefield, please take good care of him!"

Zhang Wenyuan, his prized disciple—now, Zhang Wenyuan was his only concern. After Zhang Wenyuan left, Zhao Gongming had not heard from him and was worried about his well-being.

After Ye Feng informed him of the situation in the Xuanyuan Hall the day before, he knew the Outer Battlefield must already be in chaos; hence, he made a special trip to ask for help when Ye Feng was about to depart.

Ye Feng smiled and agreed easily, "Rest assured, Grand Sect Leader. If I come across Zhang Wenyuan, I will definitely take care of him. Besides, that boy is so lucky; he might have already broken through to become a Golden Core Grandmaster by now."

While Ye Feng was joking, even he wasn't sure about the situation inside the Outer Battlefield and how Zhang Wenyuan was doing.

Zhao Gongming nodded, having no choice but to entrust this task to Ye Feng.

"Please return, Grand Sect Leader. We are setting off now," Ye Feng said, already boarding the helicopter with the others.

Watching the helicopter fly off into the distance, Zhao Gongming's eyes carried a trace of worry.

An hour later, the helicopter had arrived over the East Sea. As before, the sea was tumultuous with waves, and directly below the helicopter was an immense whirlpool.

It was still the same entrance to the East Sea, but this time, Ye Feng and the others clearly felt that the entrance had stabilized a lot.

"Let's go!"

Ye Feng didn't say much and took the lead by leaping deep into the vortex, followed by Xiao Chuanqi, Sima Zhantian, and the others who jumped down one by one. The seven of them vanished into the massive whirlpool in an instant.

A few breaths later, accompanied by the thudding sound of landing, Ye Feng had already touched the ground.

Xiao Chuanqi, Sima Zhantian, and the others fell to the ground one after the other, springing back to their feet the moment they landed.

With everyone having become stronger, they did not pass out in the tunnel like they had before.

Ye Feng took a glance around and found that they were in a Withered Wood Forest, a location completely different from the first time they entered the Outer Battlefield.

"Where is this? Didn't we enter into a wasteland the last time?"

Sima Zhantian asked with some confusion, looking around and remaining on high alert.

The others also found it strange. The first time they arrived, they were surrounded by an endless wasteland, but now, it had turned into a Withered Wood Forest.

"It's not strange at all. I had learned before that the teleportation of the channel might also change, not necessarily staying in the same place."

Ye Feng spoke in a deep voice. The vortex tunnel they had entered before carried a power of time and space; it was probably that power of time and space that could teleport a person to another place.

"This Withered Wood Forest..."

Ye Feng scanned his surroundings, extending his spiritual power to explore, despite the resistance. But with his increased strength, having opened over two thousand five hundred acupoints, his spiritual power could now explore a larger area than before.

After a brief exploration, Ye Feng didn't find many abnormalities. His wariness lessened slightly, and the others felt the same. Aside from the withered woods filled with a desolate and barren atmosphere, no other life forms were detected.

Ye Feng looked at Xiao Chuanqi and the others, and said solemnly, "If nothing unexpected happens, we can split up here..."

Before Ye Feng could finish speaking, his complexion changed in an instant.

"Stay alert, there's danger!"

Ye Feng suddenly bellowed, his expression extremely grave, closely surveying the surroundings. His spiritual power had detected some odd movement, but he couldn't pinpoint exactly where it was.

Xiao Chuanqi, Sima Zhantian, and the others were all startled, immediately releasing their aura, ready for battle.

Yet, after looking around, they still saw no signs of anything unusual or any other creatures.

"Master, where is the danger?"

Sima Zhantian asked, somewhat confused.

The others felt bewildered as well, seeing no activity around them.

Ye Feng's expression remained heavy; he too was searching for the source of the danger. His spiritual power had indeed detected a strange and approaching force, but there were still no visible signs of anything out of the ordinary. Suddenly, he thought of the Spirit-devouring Ant Beast they had encountered the first time they entered the Outer Battlefield.

Could it be underground?

Just as Ye Feng was about to use his spiritual power to scan the ground, he already felt a vibration coming from beneath his feet.

"Below, retreat!"

Ye Feng roared, rapidly retreating backwards. Xiao Chuanqi and Sima Zhantian, not being ordinary people, retreated explosively upon hearing Ye Feng's voice.

In the spot where they had just been standing, the ground suddenly cracked violently as if in an earthquake, causing the group to nearly lose their footing.

Boom!

The ground burst open, revealing a vast hole from which an enormous creature shot out. A powerful and terrifying presence unfolded, instantly filling the Withered Wood Forest with an aura of death.

Ye Feng's face paled at the sight of the colossal creature—a centipede. However, this centipede was immense, the size of half a basketball court, and it was even more bizarre that it was only left with white bones, devoid of any flesh. Around the centipede's head seemed to be enveloped in a black glow, obscuring the inside—a skeletal centipede!

"Undead Centipede, this is the Skeleton Forest, one of the four great desolate lands of the Outer Battlefield!"

Ye Feng spoke rapidly, his complexion utterly changed.

From what he knew, there were several desolate lands in the Outer Battlefield, and entering any of them meant almost certain death. Even for powerhouses of the Sacred Realm and Golden Core Grandmasters, there was a high probability of perishing in such places.

Ye Feng's face looked particularly grim: "This is really bad luck, to be teleported to this place."

Xiao Chuanqi stared at the Undead Centipede before them, his voice trembling, "Master, what is the Skeleton Forest?"

The others also looked over, as they too weren't very familiar with the Outer Battlefield.

Ye Feng, with the Emperor's Armor already condensed on him, said heavily, "Three Sacred Realm Level powerhouses of the Vampire Divine Court once entered this place, and they never came out again!"
