Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 577 - 572: Deciding to Take Sides

Ye Feng glanced at the two men and smiled faintly, "Since you both have said one fruit per person, don't fight with me if there are any extras."

Chi Jark and Xiao Rulong both nodded in agreement. A Void Spirit Fruit plant typically bears no fewer than three fruits, and usually does not exceed five. They each had their own needs, and given the large number of people on Ye Feng's side, there would be substantial contributions from them during the operation. Therefore, it was only natural for any extra fruits to go to Ye Feng's side.

Ye Feng was aware of this as well and did not make a fuss.

"If that's the case, then let's distribute it this way."

Having said this, Ye Feng looked towards his own comrades.

"The Void Spirit Fruit is a type of fruit that benefits the cultivation of spiritual power and it's particularly beneficial for grandmasters in the Golden Core Realm. As you've heard just now, there will be several groups vying for it."

"In this operation, Half-Step Golden Core powerhouses may consider abstaining from participation."

"Those in the Golden Core Realm who take part, if the supply of Void Spirit Fruit is sufficient, will also receive their share. Otherwise, whoever contributes the most will get the fruit."

Ye Feng said to the crowd, his tone calm and measured.

He needed the Void Spirit Fruit himself, and if too many people went after it, it would be difficult to distribute. He had to make this clear to everyone in advance.

"My lord, what do you take us for? The Void Spirit Fruit is naturally yours; we wouldn't claim it," Xiao Chuanqi said earnestly. They were the generals; Ye Feng was their commander. Generals obviously followed the commander's orders.

"Chuanqi is right, my lord. If it weren't for you, I would have lost my life long ago. How could I compete with you for possessions?" Leng Wuming also stepped forward, speaking gravely.

If it weren't for the Black Jade Healing Paste that Ye Feng had obtained alone from challenging the Nine Great Sects of Ancient Martial Arts, he might still be bedridden. Leng Wuming respected and admired Ye Feng from the bottom of his heart.

The others also expressed similar sentiments. Sausage Sister stood beside Sima Zhantian without saying anything, but her stance was self-evident.

Nannan added cheerfully, "Little Martial Uncle, do I look like someone who would fight with you over things?"

Ye Feng glanced at Nannan, and after a moment, he said very seriously, "You're not just like that; you are the epitome, okay?"

Nannan's previously cheerful face instantly stiffened, and although she knew Ye Feng was joking, she couldn't help but feel a bit annoyed.

"When have I ever fought you for anything, Little Martial Uncle? When? Tell me, make it clear!" Nannan rushed at him with pretend ferocity, though her posture remained endearing, causing those present to smile.

"Okay, okay, stop messing around. Let's talk seriously now," Ye Feng retreated slightly, dropping the playful expression and facing the crowd once again.

"For the next period of time, everyone will stick together with me. Since we're acting as a group, if we encounter any Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures or corresponding resources, they will be allocated according to merit."

Ye Feng spoke seriously as he went on. Structure could not be achieved without rules, and distributing resources based on merit minimized conflicts. This was the best method, one that was always applied in the army as well, but now it had to be emphasized again.

"The more one contributes, the more one will gain. To acquire more resources and better items, improve your cultivation level. Otherwise, you'll always be left behind."

While saying this, Ye Feng glanced meaningfully at Xiao Chuanqi and Sima Zhantian.

Xiao Chuanqi and Sima Zhantian immediately felt helpless; their lord's words clearly hinted that they were falling behind.

Damn it!

Both Xiao Chuanqi and Sima Zhantian felt a bit defiant, but they had to admit that even Nannan, who had been recuperating for half a month, seemed to be much stronger than them now.

Ye Feng's words ignited a fighting spirit in many. They were well aware that they were gradually being left behind by Ye Feng's progress. If they didn't push harder, they would only drift further away from him.

Shadow's eyes flickered with a light that suggested he was contemplating something.

Behind Ye Feng stood both Chi Jark and Xiao Rulong, both listening to him speak.

"This is what a leader looks like. This guy truly has the bearing of an emperor," Chi Jark couldn't help but communicate telepathically with Xiao Rulong, noting the rare leader's charisma emanating from Ye Feng.

"The legendary Northern Border King is indeed as formidable as the tales say. Moreover, his personal strength is monstrously strong. There's no way that he cultivated to this extent in just one dark space in the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm, as he claimed. No one believes that," Xiao Rulong telepathically replied.

Xiao Rulong couldn't help but communicate through voice transmission, expressing disbelief in the words Ye Feng said when he emerged from the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm; he was convinced that Ye Feng had secured an immense fortune within. Nevertheless, Xiao Rulong refrained from prying too deeply.

"Since Ye Feng is keeping secrets from us, he naturally doesn't wish to disclose them. There's no need to fret over such matters. All we need to remember is to never become enemies with Ye Feng. This must also be communicated to the senior ancestors at home."

"I have a premonition that Ye Feng will be a key figure in the upcoming chaos. Even if it kills me, I must stand by Ye Feng's side."

Chi Jianren's eyes narrowed slightly as he continued to exchange voice transmissions with Xiao Rulong.

If initially his alignment with Ye Feng was spurred by mere curiosity, he had now decidedly begun to take sides, preparing for strategic alliance.

The Chi and Xiao families had maintained a coalition for many years, being slightly weaker than the Hong and Bu families, thus opting to band together and remain neutral in various conflicts, abstaining from taking sides.

But now, Chi Jianren had decided to align with Ye Feng.

Surprise flickered in Xiao Rulong's eyes; he hadn't expected Chi Jianren to make such a decisive statement.

As Xiao Rulong watched Ye Feng, he too fell into deep contemplation, considering that Chi Jianren's decision was not without reason.

Ye Feng, now only twenty-six years old, had the audacity to challenge a supreme powerhouse of the Yin-Yang Realm. In over two millennia, Ye Feng might very well be the first, right?

A month ago, news they heard on the Outer Battlefield was that Ye Feng, on Earth within Xuanyuan Nation, although able to fight against powerhouses of the Sacred Realm, was said to be in secluded cultivation to enhance himself before the decisive battle. After emerging, he fought fiercely to kill two elders from the Buddhist and Confucian Sects.

However, Ye Feng had only just arrived in the Outer Battlefield and had already reached such a realm. Previously, when faced with Hong Gaishi of the Hong Family and that Grandmaster of the Golden Core Realm, he managed to injure both with just a single breath. How terrifying must his strength be?

After careful consideration, Xiao Rulong also sent a secret voice transmission: "Alright, since your Chi Family has chosen to take sides, I'll take a gamble as well. Time is running short; let's hope Ye Feng can give us a pleasant surprise."

Xiao Rulong made the decision with gritted teeth, knowing that as leading figures of their generation for the two Ancient Clans, their choices amounted to the stance of the whole clan—staking the fate of their entire lineage.

As members of an Ancient Clan, they were acutely aware that there wasn't much time left before chaos unfolded; their decision was unavoidable, it was merely a matter of making it now rather than later.

Unbeknownst to Ye Feng, as he was establishing the rules of engagement for everyone on the battlefield, representatives of the two Ancient Clans had already made secret decisions to align with him.

After discussing some more matters, everyone departed from the front of Xuanyuan Hall, heading for the location where the Void Spirit Fruit had previously been discovered.

It was still the same stretch of mountainside; the group approached grandly.

They did not conceal their movements; news from the Chi Family's people stationed in the area indicated that many from various factions were already lurking near the mountains.

This included Golden Cicada, who had just left Xuanyuan Hall, as well as those from the Nine Great Sects of Ancient Martial Arts who had exited the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm. Even a figure whom Ye Feng would recognize and surely be delighted to see was present.

That was none other than Elder Cangming, a Grandmaster of the Golden Core Realm from the Underworld Sect!

"This Void Spirit Fruit should mature in about half a day," Elder Cangming said, his gaze somewhat greedy.

Ahead, a colossal Titan Giant Ape snored loudly beside an opening that shimmered with colored light—there lay the cache of Void Spirit Fruits!

After escaping from Ye Feng, Elder Cangming had used the half-month to recover from his injuries and rushed here upon receiving news of the Void Spirit Fruit's discovery.

By his side was Golden Cicada, whose aura was overwhelmingly strong. Golden Cicada's gaze was fixated on the Titan Giant Ape ahead, but his attention was largely on another mountaintop, where three auras of Grandmasters of the Golden Core Realm could be sensed—people from the Bu Family!

Bu Tianyun was stationed there with two Grandmasters of the Golden Core Realm from the Bu Family, along with several others at the Half-Step Golden Core Realm, lying in wait.

On another side, there were also two Grandmasters of the Golden Core Realm, two middle-aged men—the same Hong Zhong and Hong Qing who had first discovered the Void Spirit Fruit.

Both looked grim as they watched the two other mountaintops.

"Damn it, the news still leaked!" spat Hong Qing through gritted teeth, already aware that the Bu Family and people from the Nine Great Sects had arrived, with a significant number of Grandmasters of the Golden Core Realm.

Hong Zhong was also displeased, speaking coldly, "This Titan Giant Ape has been camped here, and in these days has attracted many Golden Core Realm Alien Beasts. The commotion was large enough to get noticed, so it's not surprising."

In fact, it wasn't just due to the Titan Giant Ape. A Spirit Fruit like the Void Spirit Fruit naturally lures the Alien Beasts of the Outer Battlefield. Just like the Golden Pattern Divine Power Bear and the Titan Giant Ape that had come before, two Golden Core Realm Alien Beasts erupted into a climactic battle.

In the following days, even more Alien Beasts were drawn in, though most realized they were no match for the Titan Giant Ape and promptly retreated.

But the commotion they caused drew the attention of nearby cultivators, and thus the message spread.
