Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 606 - 601: Wizard Alliance Ke Li

Ye Feng and his companions had no idea that someone from the Yin-Yang Temple had already set their sights on them. Before they died, some members from the Sword Saint Palace managed to transmit the news back to the Yin-Yang Temple using a Sound Transmission Talisman.

Even if Ye Feng truly became aware of this, he probably wouldn't care anyway.

After half a day had passed, Ye Feng and his group of five had already arrived in front of a dilapidated building. The structure was massive with towering walls all around it. The walls bore all kinds of marks from blades, swords, and even fists and palm seals. Not only that, but one could faintly make out the traces of blood that had dried on the walls over time, all of which attested to the building's ancientness.

By the time Ye Feng and his group arrived, several small camps had already been established in front of the building.

At a glance, everyone could see that these small camps belonged to the Four Great Powers. Towards the west were a group of vampires with black wings fluttering behind them – the high-ranking members of the Western Vampire Divine Court, indicating that the camps belonged to the Western Vampire Divine Court.

Chi Jern squinted his eyes and gazed at the camps in the west, speaking with a hint of disdain, "These foul bats are gathered together, and their Blood Qi is indeed very rich. I guess there must be Vampire Divine Dukes here already, or else there wouldn't be such dense Blood Qi."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze and immediately noticed the intensely thick Blood Qi in the west. So thick was the blood mist encircling the entire camp area that the stench of blood was overwhelming. Even from a great distance, they could smell the dense Blood Qi.

"It seems that about thirty of these foul bats have come this time, but there are only around ten in the Golden Core Realm. A few Grandmasters of the Golden Core Realm exude very strong auras. Oh, that's right, Duke Nick from the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm is also here, or rather, he should now be addressed as Grand Duke Nick."

"You wretch, weren't you once defeated by him?"

Xiao Rulong wore a smile as his gaze instantly locked onto Nick, who he had seen before in the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm. Nick's previous rank was third on the Heaven Guard Monument, and he was also fifth in the previous generation's talent rankings, just ahead of Chi Jern. It was Nick who had defeated Chi Jern back then.

Old grudges were brought up, and Chi Jern glared at Xiao Rulong, "What is he good for?"

"A stinking bat who dares call himself a Grand Duke?"

"If I encounter him again this time, I'll pluck those black wings off him."

Chi Jern said contemptuously, no longer considering this vampire, who had once defeated him, worth noting. Back then, he had only narrowly lost to his opponent and had since gauged Nick's abilities in the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm. Even with a promotion to the Golden Core Realm, Nick would be no match for him, let alone now, as his own strength had further increased with cultivation in the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm.

Xiao Rulong merely chuckled; he was well aware that both he and Chi Jern no longer saw the previous generation's talents as important. They were more concerned with individuals who ranked above the top three in the talent list—other than Hong Tianyu, with whom there had been previous interactions and sparring, the first-ranked prodigy from the Yin-Yang Temple, who had vanished for three years, might or might not appear this time.

Then there was Bu Fengning from the Bu Family, a mysterious and powerful figure who was already a Grandmaster of the Golden Core Realm three years ago. Rumors had it that he had entered Ice Prison Valley, but would he make an appearance this time?

And there was the third-ranked individual on the talent list...

Xiao Rulong pondered over this person, stroking his chin and seemingly lost in thought.

To the north of Ye Feng and his party, there were individuals adorned in Daoist robes and holding magic wands—clearly, they were the Shaman Wizards from the Wizard Alliance of Snow Wolf Country. Compared to the dense Blood Qi from the Western Vampire Divine Court, the presence of power from the Snow Wolf Country's camps seemed a bit weaker. At a glance, only eight were found to be in the Golden Core Realm, with a total of only about twenty people present.

"Savis has also arrived, huh? But with his strength as a newly advanced Grandmaster of the Golden Core Realm, he's unlikely to cause much stir."

Chi Jern looked towards the Snow Wolf Country's Wizard Alliance and said with a smug smile.

Savis was, of course, the person who previously had broken the rules in the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm by taking medicine to participate in the selection for the Spirit Essence Pool and consequently was barred from cultivating in the Spirit Essence Pool. Now merely a newly advanced powerhouse of the Golden Core Realm, he might have been among the top ten prodigies before, but neither Chi Jern nor Xiao Rulong regarded him with any seriousness.

"Savis is a minor character; the main event for the Wizard Alliance lies with Ke Li!"

Xiao Rulong's expression became solemn. His gaze had settled on a young man in the Wizard Alliance of Snow Wolf Country, who was almost completely enveloped in a Daoist robe and was sitting cross-legged, holding a Blood Witch Stone, absorbing its power.

At this moment, many vampires from the Vampire Divine Court had their eyes glowing green as they stared unblinking at the young man with the Blood Witch Stone. For vampires, the Blood Witch Stone was utterly irresistible.

However, in such a setting, no one dared to raid the Snow Wolf Country's camp to steal it, unless they were a fool. The auras from all sides were evidently strong, clearly indicating that Great Powers of the Yin-Yang Realm were in attendance. Attempting to steal the Blood Witch Stone would be no different from seeking death.

Upon hearing this, Chi Jern also focused on the young man, his eyes showing a hint of gravity.

Curious, Ye Feng followed the gazes of the two men and looked over at the young man named Ke Li.

Surprised by what he saw, Ye Feng noted that the man appeared even younger than Chi Jern and Xiao Rulong, yet the aura he exuded seemed no weaker than theirs, suggesting they were on the same level.

"Which ranking did this Ke Li hold in the previous generation talent list?"

Ye Feng asked curiously, feeling there was a hint of mystery about this Ke Li.

"In the previous Talent Ranking, this guy was placed third, but he directly killed the one ranked fourth, Miyamoto Ichiro, in seconds,"

Chi Jark said solemnly.

Ye Feng was somewhat surprised. Ranking in the top three of a Talent Ranking meant that this strength must also be one of the top existences among the prodigies of Snow Wolf Country.

"What about after that, how did Hong Tianyu end up in second place?"

Unable to contain his curiosity, Ye Feng wondered if Ke Li had the strength to kill Miyamoto Ichiro in seconds at that time, then he shouldn't have been no match for Hong Tianyu. Why was it that now Hong Tianyu had become the second, and the number one was a superb genius from the Yin-Yang Temple, rather than Ke Li from Snow Wolf Country?

It was Xiao Rulong's turn to take over the conversation, volunteering, "We all thought that this guy should have been able to contend for the first or second place because the first place could obtain a top-level magic treasure, the Purple Gold Ancient Bell—it's a defensive top-level magic treasure of great value, much stronger than the Hun Yuan Armor Hong Tianyu previously possessed. Back then, many people were gunning for that top-level treasure."

Ye Feng was quite surprised as well. He had heard of the Purple Gold Ancient Bell, a top-level treasure from over two thousand years ago. In the wars of the Outer Battlefield back then, an ancient cultivator had roamed the Outer Battlefield for years with the aid of this bell, surviving attacks by three great alien beasts of the Yin-Yang Realm without sustaining any injuries.

The fame of the Purple Gold Ancient Bell spread throughout the Outer Battlefield, and he did not expect that it was the reward for the last Talent Ranking. Was that reward enough to make even the Great Powers of the Yin-Yang Realm envious?

"Don't listen to his nonsense, it wasn't the real Purple Gold Ancient Bell at all, it was just an imitation,"

Chi Jark interjected, giving Xiao Rulong a disdainful look.

An imitation?

Ye Feng suddenly realized it was just an imitation.

In that period over two thousand years ago, the art of artifact refining in the Dao Cultivation World was quite prosperous, giving birth to many powerful magic treasures, which in turn led to the production of imitations. Although the imitations were not as good as the real thing, they still possessed a part of the original's power.

The Purple Gold Ancient Bell was also a popular item for imitations two thousand years ago. Because defensive magic treasures are difficult to craft, a defense-oriented magic treasure of the same tier could be worth at least as much as two attack-oriented treasures.

"The first place treasure of the last Talent Ranking was just an imitation usable within the Golden Core Realm; however, when fully activated, it could withstand a strike from a Great Power of the Yin-Yang Realm,"

Chi Jark added in explanation.

Able to withstand a strike from a Great Power of the Yin-Yang Realm?

That was already quite impressive. A common Golden Core Realm Great Power would not be able to withstand even a single strike from a Great Power of the Yin-Yang Realm, let alone be crushed just by the oppressive aura of a Yin-Yang Realm Great Power.

That's why Ye Feng withstanding the pressure from Hong Wuji had already caused a great shock; the chasm between the Golden Core Realm and the Yin-Yang Realm was utterly unbridgeable!

For Ye Feng, who, as a Golden Core Realm cultivator had managed to slay a Great Power from the Yin-Yang Realm, such a feat would surely astound the entire Outer Battlefield if word got out.

Therefore, even if it was an imitation of the Purple Gold Ancient Bell that could withstand a strike from a Great Power of the Yin-Yang Realm, it was enough to testify to its quality.

"So, why did Ke Li only rank third?"

Ye Feng queried once more, feeling that these two had danced around the issue for too long without addressing why Ke Li, with such strength, only came in third.

Chi Jark and Xiao Rulong realized that they had gone off-topic.

"Scoundrel, don't interrupt, do you know that your interference just now disrupted my train of thought?"

Xiao Rulong blamed Chi Jark without hesitation.

Chi Jark's face darkened instantly. What did he mean by disrupting Xiao Rulong's thoughts? This guy really knew how to make excuses.

Xiao Rulong didn't dwell on the matter and instead looked towards Ye Feng, explaining again, "The reason why Ke Li ended up third was that he did not fight against Hong Tianyu at all after becoming the third. That guy simply conceded, which is why he ended up in third place. But his strength is definitely more than just third place. It was just good luck that Hong Tianyu got the second place at that time."
