Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law

Ye Feng had just left the hall when the fight inside had already ended.

This time, Ye Feng showed no mercy and slaughtered them all, leaving no one else on this sandbar other than a few of them in mere moments.

What relieved Ye Feng was that, although Murong Hai and others had taken control of the headquarters of the Martial Alliance of Southern River Region Jiangnan, many members of the alliance were unwilling to heed his commands and leave; only a few remained.

Without exception, all those who stayed behind had been executed!

"Qingyan, how are you doing? You're not hurt, are you?" Ye Feng slightly lifted his gaze, looking at the pale, frail woman.

Hong Qingyan managed a weak smile and said, "I'm fine, Big Brother Ye, it's just that..."

Ye Feng raised an eyebrow and asked, "Just what?"

Hong Qingyan said with a wry smile, "It's just that I failed again to handle the matter you entrusted to me, and Mr. Luo Keque and Mr. Pang Youze were killed right before my eyes. At that moment, I truly..."

Ye Feng couldn't help but laugh and shook his head, "Do you know the origins of those men just now?"

Hong Qingyan shook her head; naturally, she wouldn't know.

Ye Feng said, "The leader of them was named Murong Hai, the head of the Murong Prince Mansion East of the River. Not to mention you, even if the Four Great Families of Southern River Region Jiangnan were combined, they wouldn't reach a fingertip of his. Therefore, you need not blame or feel guilty about this matter."

Hong Qingyan nodded slightly, though her heart still couldn't help feeling a bit sorrowful.

"Let's head back first!" Ye Feng waved his hand.

Immediately, Hong Qingyan began to push her wheelchair forward. At this time, Xiao Chuanqi, Sima Zhantian, and Seventeen, the three of them, had also walked out of the hall and followed closely behind Ye Feng.

As for the corpses strewn haphazardly in the hall, they didn't bother to deal with them. Of course, there was no need for them to do so. It was believed that soon someone from the Martial Alliance would come out and inform the Murong Prince Mansion East of the River about what happened here.

Just as they boarded the vessel from the ferry crossing, Ye Feng suddenly ordered, "Legendary, give a call to Commander Xia and ask him to come see me."

"As you command, my lord!" Xiao Chuanqi immediately bowed.

He didn't ask why there was a sudden need to contact Commander Xia or whether his own lord, the King of the Northern Guard, had decided to go to the base camp of the Southern Territory.

Just having crossed the river and disembarked, Commander Xia, a man with a tall figure and narrow eyes, was already waiting on the shore. It seemed he had been present there for some time.

Ye Feng naturally knew that he was likely to have been tracking them in secret, but he didn't bother to ask more. He just smiled, "I didn't expect you to be so fast."

Commander Xia smiled wryly and quickly bowed, "I learned from the Jiang Family that people from the Murong Prince Mansion East of the River were coming, so out of curiosity, I followed. Please, Northern Border Prince, do not take offense at my presumption."

While saying this, even though Commander Xia appeared calm on the surface, he was very afraid inside. He, of course, had already learned of exactly what the situation was on the opposite sandbar.

Originally, he had thought that the Murong Prince Mansion from East of the River had some tricks to slightly contend with the Northern Border King. After all, no matter how one put it, whether one called it a False King, the Murong Mansion, at one time, still belonged to imperial nobility and was a Martial Arts Family.

The Gusu Murong dared to proclaim themselves king, naturally, they wouldn't be without considerable skill. Moreover, according to rumors, the family's inherited Supreme Knowledge of the Gusu Murong, Star Shifting, was extremely powerful.

But what Commander Xia did not expect was that the people from the Murong Family who came this time were far too inferior, collapsing at the first blow, with a dozen high-level fighters being taken down in an instant.

Thinking of this, Commander Xia felt a chill in his heart, grateful that he hadn't acted rashly, or else today he might very well have ended up dead here.

Ye Feng looked at him coldly, fully aware of what the other party was calculating.

This fellow undoubtedly saw that he was now wheelchair-bound, a cripple, and couldn't help but feel skeptical in his heart!

Ye Feng suddenly said, "Xia Lengchan, I ask you, are you willing to follow me?"

Commander Xia was taken aback, standing completely still, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

Ye Feng did not hurry him, simply watching quietly, waiting for his answer.

After some thought, Commander Xia certainly knew that the Northern Border King would not recruit him without reason.

After all, as the Northern Border King, there was no lack of followers behind him; surely, he must have encountered some issue that prompted this. Otherwise, considering his standing as the most talented in the entire kingdom with the greatest potential, the Northern Border King would not have shown interest in someone like him who had barely reached the level of a Grandmaster.

But Commander Xia also knew that once he agreed to follow, he could never go back. And now that the Northern Border King was physically disabled, he must have encountered some significant trouble; it might even lead to further complications. Following him would certainly involve risks.

However, if he were to refuse, he would probably lose out on an opportunity.

Standing behind him, Sima Zhantian saw this and snorted coldly, "You bastard, if it weren't for the fact that our lord is currently at a disadvantage, would he take a glance at your sort? The chance to recruit you is a blessing earned through eight generations of your ancestors' good fortune!"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Hearing this, Commander Xia knew he could not hesitate any longer. He quickly knelt on one knee and said, "Your subordinate, Xia Lengchan, is willing to submit to his lord. From now on, I swear to be loyal to death to the prince, willing to follow His Highness in conquering the world!"

Yet, Ye Feng only smiled faintly and said, "There's no rush. Before I officially include you in our ranks, there is a small test." Read latest chapters at empire

Xia Lengchan clasped his hands, "My lord, please give your orders!"

Ye Feng said, "I will give you one day to summon the two commanders from the Southern Territory who are on good terms with you, to come to Jiangnan to meet me."

Xia Lengchan replied, "My lord, do you also intend to recruit those two commanders? I dare not deceive my lord, although those two commanders have a good relationship with me, their situations in the Southern Territory are unlike my own. Currently, they hold significant power, while I am sidelined and pushed aside. Convincing them to submit might be difficult…"

Ye Feng waved his hand, interrupting, "Just call them here for now. Whether I can make them submit is my concern."

Although the kingdom was divided into Four Realms, with each realm having its own army commanders or flag leaders, there was no strict control over their allegiance. Meaning, if both parties are willing, they can freely change jurisdictions and follow a certain prince.

However, there is a prerequisite—they must both be willing. Of course, despite the lack of restrictions within the kingdom, cases of commanders switching allegiance spontaneously are quite rare.

Xia Lengchan said, "If I can bring them here, there would be no issue, as after all, my lord is the Northern Border King. If I invite them in my lord's name, they will surely come."

Ye Feng waved his hand, "Go and make it happen."

"Yes, I will go right away," Xia Lengchan replied and immediately took his leave.

Xiao Chuanqi could no longer contain himself, stepping forward slightly and asking in a low voice, "My lord, I don't understand why you would suddenly choose to recruit Xia Lengchan and even subsequently recruit the other two great commanders from the Southern Territory. Such a move, if it gets out, might provoke dissatisfaction from the Lord of the Nine Domains of the Southern Territory."

Sima Zhantian snorted and retorted, "Afraid of what? They're just three commanders. If the Lord of the Nine Domains of the Southern Territory is discontent with our prince's actions, I'll just chop them down. Let's see who dares to talk then!"

Xiao Chuanqi gave him a disapproving look and slightly shook his head, evidently exasperated with this hot-headed and simple-minded brute.

Ye Feng, on the other hand, gestured with a hand to silence the two of them, then heaved a long sigh and said with profound significance, "If my predictions are correct, an earth-shattering assassination aimed at me is about to come."
