Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 728 - 708: No Clue Despite Tireless Searching

After descending deep into the Sky Burial Valley, Ye Feng discovered that the mountain ranges on both sides were already riddled with holes, some peaks even split in half, while others had their tops completely leveled.

The area of Sky Burial Valley was vast, and the area below was shrouded in a hazy fog. Even when Ye Feng used his spiritual power, he could not probe too far, so for now, he was not entirely clear about the terrain of the entire valley.

"Hold your breath, there's still a lot of miasma below!" Ye Feng said to Hong Qingyan. freewebnøvel.coɱ

Although their cultivation level had reached a stage where they no longer feared the miasma, if inhaled and a battle ensued, the miasma would still be rather troublesome.

Hong Qingyan nodded and couldn't help but telepathically communicate, "Big Brother Ye, why did you intentionally separate from Senior Huang and the others? When we were descending just now, I could clearly feel that people from the other great powers were watching you, and I guess they are searching for you right now."

With a cold smirk, Ye Feng telepathically replied, "If we don't split up, how would they dare to make a move? If they don't strike, how could I have a chance?"

Hong Qingyan understood and telepathically said with a laugh, "I see, Big Brother Ye, you want to turn the tables and hunt them instead."

"Precisely. Let's not talk about the others for now, those two Yin-Yang Divine Masters from the Yin-Yang Temple must die—after all, they carry Hun Yuan Lotus Seeds on them."

Only then did Hong Qingyan fully understand. It turned out that Ye Feng wanted to help her obtain those Hun Yuan Lotus Seeds; he wanted to help her break through to the Yin-Yang Realm as soon as possible.

With this in mind, Hong Qingyan's heart gradually eased, and she was filled with gratitude.

"Let's go. This should be the outskirts of the ancient battlefield, where mostly ordinary soldiers are fighting. We should head deeper inside directly."

Ye Feng surveyed the surroundings and realized that the dense remnants under his feet were very ordinary, and they were almost entirely decayed. After all, even the remains of a Golden Core Realm expert could not be preserved after more than two millennia, especially in such an atrocious environment.

Ye Feng estimated that only a Great Power of the Yin-Yang Realm with at least Three Seals could possibly preserve some items, such as their Cultivation Method Inheritance, or Magic Treasures, for instance. Of course, these were precisely what everyone was here to search for.

Besides that, the battlefield should also have relics from an unparalleled Great Power of the Half-Step Void, and Ye Feng's real target was the treasure left by the Eternal Sovereign of the Human Race over two millennia ago. He had a feeling that this item was very important to him.

Most of the outer edges of the battlefield were useless objects that had existed for so many years, and the miasma had likely dissipated quite a bit over time. Former visitors had already scoured these parts, so there was basically nothing valuable left here.

"Big Brother Ye, it seems someone is coming!" Hong Qingyan suddenly said.

Ye Feng's gaze sharpened, and his powerful spiritual power immediately sensed the presence of Hong Wuji and the Bu Family Patriarch.

"These two old foxes, putting on an upright appearance on the surface, are actually disgusting inside. There's no need to bother with them for now; let's head deeper inside!" Ye Feng mentally sneered. In actuality, he also sensed many great powers of the Yin-Yang Realm around them. If a conflict were to break out here, it would surely attract more powerful experts, leading to an inevitable stalemate, which was the last thing Ye Feng wanted to see.

Furthermore, the Bu Family Patriarch and the Ancestor of the Hong Family were no simple characters. As helmsmen of an Ancient Clan, they surely had numerous tricks up their sleeves. It would not be easy for Ye Feng to take down these two in a short amount of time.

Immediately, Ye Feng, holding Hong Qingyan's hand, continued to fly deeper into the valley and soon disappeared from their original spot.

Although the miasma above Sky Burial Valley had dissipated, the valley bottom was still shrouded in a layer of gray-white fog. The visibility within this fog was extremely low, which meant that no one could sense too far a distance. However, Ye Feng's spiritual power was strong, allowing him to sense even farther than a Great Power of the Yin-Yang Realm could.

Of course, it was for this reason that Ye Feng could sense the movements of others around him before they even detected him.

"Damn it, I clearly saw that lad Ye Feng heading in this direction just now, and then he suddenly disappeared!" The elder, Hong Wuji, flew to the spot where Ye Feng had just been standing and, after a thorough search and not finding Ye Feng, cursed profusely.

The Bu Family Patriarch snorted, "It seems that this Ye kid is very cautious. He surely knows that once in the valley bottom, he would become a target for the strong from the Four Great Powers, so he wouldn't stay in the same place for too long but would keep changing his location instead."

"So what do we do now? This fog in Sky Burial Valley is too thick, and it's full of dangers. We cannot fully unleash our movement techniques to chase after him; we will never find that lad this way!" The elder, Hong Wuji, said through gritted teeth.

The Bu Family Patriarch flashed a cold smile and said, "Don't worry. That kid is already skilled in his cultivation, and a regular Yin-Yang Realm expert won't easily take him down, so there's no need to worry about others for now."

On that note, the Bu Family Patriarch glanced in a certain direction and continued, "With Ye Feng's personality, he definitely wouldn't care for the items here at the edge. He must have gone deeper inside. Let's head directly into the depths. On the one hand, we can search for treasures, and on the other, we can just wait for that kid there."

"But in truth, all the Great Powers of the Yin-Yang Realm would be able to come up with this idea, and I expect everyone will also head to deeper areas immediately. Once all the major powerhouses are gathered together, if that lad has the backing of both Old Man Huang Niu and Xiao Chi, we won't have a chance to make a move at all," Hong Wuji said angrily.

"If you think this method isn't feasible, do you have a better idea?" The Bu Family Patriarch said with a fierce tone.

Hong Wuji fell silent, and it was only after a long while that he said, "It seems we can only do this for now. Let's hope we have good luck on the way and encounter that kid. Then we can take him down quietly. That way, the other Great Powers won't know it was our doing, and we won't have to worry about the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm being coveted by others."

Bu Family Patriarch shook his head and, without further ado, soared towards the depths.

At this time, Hong Wuji also kept silent, following closely behind. Of course, neither of them was exerting their full strength, as the Sky Burial Valley was not only complex in terrain, but also fraught with various unknown dangers.

Meanwhile, at the Yin-Yang Temple, they too divided into several small teams and advanced into the Sky Burial Valley. In fact, everyone's thoughts and plans were much alike; after descending, they aimed to head deeper into the valley first. Naturally, should they encounter any treasures along the way, that would be for the best.

The Sky Burial Valley was really too vast. Once down, people realized that it was not merely a narrow gorge but an entire battlefield that even included the massive mountain range up ahead.

The gray-white fog grew denser. Ye Feng kept hold of Hong Qingyan's hand as he suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, Qingyan, that Hun Yuan Lotus Seed from before, have you refined it yet?"

Hong Qingyan nodded and replied, "Don't worry, Big Brother Ye, I've had idle time these past few days and have already refined it!"

Ye Feng nodded slightly; however, at that moment, his gaze sharpened, as he suddenly noticed a trace of emerald green silver light shimmering from a section of the valley.

"Let's go take a look over there!" Ye Feng, with Hong Qingyan in tow, darted toward that part of the valley, and they quickly arrived.

The valley had no water sources left; any that had existed were long dried up. The emerald green silver light emitted from within the remains of a corpse.

"I didn't expect this skeleton to be so well-preserved compared to the others around here," Hong Qingyan commented, frowning.

"That's because this fellow had a high cultivation level; he must have been a Great Power of the Yin-Yang Realm," Ye Feng said with furrowed brows.

"That's not right, Big Brother Ye," Hong Qingyan said, still frowning. "This person's bones look strange, not like they're from the Human Race?"

"Indeed, not from the Human Race; these are from the Demon Horn Tribe!" Ye Feng looked around, noticing nothing unusual.

"What is this emerald green silver light on its body? It looks like some kind of necklace!" Hong Qingyan pondered and asked.

"I'm not sure what exactly it is, but it seems to be a defensive magic treasure. To be able to emit divine light even after more than two thousand years, this treasure is no simple thing. At the very least, it can defend against a full-force strike from under the three seals of the Yin-Yang Realm!"

Ye Feng analyzed slowly, internally marveling that they really might have stumbled upon a treasure this time. Defensive magic treasures were rare to begin with, and high-level defensive magic treasures were even rarer. Take Xiao Rulong's Silver Dragon Armor, inherited from the Ancient Xiao Family, for instance; it probably had a defensive power comparable to this necklace.

Without hesitation, Ye Feng reached out to take the necklace.

Even though it belonged to the Demon Horn Tribe and it appeared slightly damaged, the craftsmanship was exquisite, and the damage did not seem to affect its defensive power. Taking it would be perfect for Qingyan.

However, just as Ye Feng's hand was about to touch the ancient emerald green necklace, a black gas suddenly streaked towards his palm and instantly disappeared, evidently having entered Ye Feng's body.

"Be careful, Big Brother Ye!" exclaimed Hong Qingyan, her face turning pale with fear; she was not foolish and had realized that this black gas was likely the infamous resentment energy well-known in legends.

This type of resentment energy was extremely terrifying, capable of directly assaulting a person's heart and soul!

Everything happened too swiftly. By the time Ye Feng realized what was happening, the resentment energy had already entered his body, and it was too late to retract his hand.

"Don't worry, Qingyan, go ahead and take the necklace, and guard me for a bit," Ye Feng said, waving his hand with an unchanged expression.

What was resentment energy to him? His spiritual power was now incredibly strong. Not to mention whether his mental power could withstand it, he also possessed the Divine Path Heavenly Edict Scroll, a tremendously powerful scroll that could even block the Dragon Breath from the Old Dragon.

Almost in an instant, the resentment energy entered Ye Feng's Sea of Consciousness Heavenly Heart Palace, at which moment Ye Feng felt a slight dizziness in his consciousness.

When the resentment energy within the Sea of Consciousness saw Ye Feng's Mental Power Nucleus, it was as if it had found an exquisite food and lunged directly towards it.

"A mere wisp of resentment energy dares to attack and devour my consciousness soul?" Ye Feng couldn't help but sneer. Suddenly, his Mental Power Nucleus began to spin at high speed.

At that moment, two figures were speeding towards this location.

"What is that? That emerald green sheen... damn, that's a treasure, someone's taking it, hurry!" Exclaimed the two powerful beings, rushing forward full force, they reached Hong Qingyan in the blink of an eye.

"Well, well, how fortunate, to think we'd bump into you here using your Xuanyuan Nation's saying, 'No need to wear out iron shoes in fruitless searching, to have it come to you without any effort'!"

These two powerful beings were none other than the Yin-Yang Divine Masters from the Yin-Yang Temple from before!
