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

"Ye Feng, who is he?"

Elder Xuan Ming's gray eyebrows twitched, and a cold expression appeared on his face.

Murong Tongming bowed respectfully and said, "To answer the elder, Ye Feng's background is not well known, but it is known that he is the son-in-law of the Hong Family of Jiangdu."

"The Hong Family of Jiangdu, are they very formidable?" Elder Xuan Ming asked again.

"Not formidable, they are merely an insignificant small clan, far from comparable to my Murong Prince Mansion!" Murong Tongming said this with some pride.

"If they are not formidable, why were your son and grandson wiped out?" Elder Xuan Ming said with a cold snort.

At this, Murong Tongming could no longer smile, and after a pause, he said, "Although the Hong Family of Jiangdu is not formidable, and that Ye fellow himself was a cripple with broken legs, he has several powerful followers!"

"According to the intelligence that has been reported back, among that Mad Son-in-law of the Hong Family's followers, there are two who are at the Huajin Grandmaster level!"

"Huajin Grandmaster?"

Elder Xuan Ming's eyes, appearing cloudy, narrowed slightly. After pondering for a while, he said, "It seems that this Ye fellow doesn't have any formidable background, but since my two disciples could die at their hands, the other party must have some skills."

Murong Tongming could only nod. In the past two days, he had considered seeking revenge, but he was well aware that the other party, able to easily slay even two of his enforcers, would likely be more than he could handle even if he took action personally.

Unless, the family ancestor personally came out of his secluded cultivation!

But up to now, the ancestor was still in deep secluded cultivation, preparing to break through to the Realm of the Martial King, and unless absolutely necessary, he must not be disturbed!

After all, once the ancestor achieved the status of Martial King, then his position as King of East River would secure, and then, not just East River, but even the whole Eastern Border or the Southern Territory, the Gusu Murong Family might also be able to extend their reach!

"Elder Xuan Ming, now that you have arrived in East River, I wonder what your plans are, whether you are prepared to immediately head to Jiangnan to exterminate that Ye fellow and avenge your disciples?" Murong Tongming inquired after some thought.

Now that this senior elder from the Xuan Ming Sect had stepped in, he was only too eager, for after all, using another's hand to kill his enemy was something he had done many times in his life.

Elder Xuan Ming snorted coldly, "Killing my disciples, this vengeance certainly has to be avenged, but this old man has been hurrying day and night, and has expended too much energy, I need to properly rest."

Murong Tongming immediately said, "Of course, in that case, elder, please rest well. Oh, I will have two young maidens of fine appearance come to attend to you."

After speaking, he clapped his hands, and immediately two young maids with voluptuous figures entered the hall, then bowed to present themselves.

Upon seeing the two young and beautiful maids, Elder Xuan Ming's eyes suddenly widened, not able to look away.

Who would have known that even though Elder Xuan Ming was of advanced age, practically with one foot in the coffin, he turned out to be an old lecher as well.

Murong Tongming smiled, bowed slightly and said, "Then I won't disturb the elder's rest. You two, take good care of our esteemed guest and show no negligence!"

Although the two beautiful maids had a million reasons not to attend to an old man, but since the head of the family had given the order, they dared not disobey.

"Come here, come close to me!" Elder Xuan Ming suddenly changed his demeanor, no longer as stern and domineering as before. Now with his mouth wide in a hee-hee laugh, he looked every bit like a demon.

Meanwhile, in the Jiangnan Provincial City, it wasn't until the morning that Ye Feng woke up, and it had been a long time since he had slept so soundly.

Upon awakening, he immediately felt refreshed, his state having returned to its peak.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

What was even more surprising to Ye Feng was that he had made another breakthrough; during that sleep, he had unblocked another acupoint, his body becoming even more vigorous.

"What's going on, I actually broke through an acupoint in my sleep, could it be that I can cultivate even while sleeping?"

Ye Feng furrowed his brows, increasingly bewildered by the state of his body which had healed from its wounds.

However, fortunately up to now, there seemed to be no adverse conditions with his body; on the contrary, it greatly benefited his cultivation.

After lunch, Xiao Chuanqi, Sima Zhantian, Xia Lengchan, and two others received a notice and quickly entered the villa. Since learning about the plan the previous night, the five of them had been ready to depart.

"Gusu Murong, daring to falsely claim to be the King of East River, engaging in such rebellious acts, for this, I shall personally annihilate this so-called King of East River!" Ye Feng declared.

Sima Zhantian scoffed, "A mere worldly family daring to claim the title of King of East River, such a treacherous and outrageous act is simply courting death!"

Xia Lengchan also added, "Murong Mansion has been claiming the title of King of East River for five years now. What's strange is that East of the River is under the jurisdiction of both the Eastern Border and the Southern Territory.

It would have been understandable for the King of the Southern Territory, who has been in secluded cultivation for the past five years, but this King of the Eastern Border hasn't made any move at all."

Hearing this, Ye Feng sneered and said, "The King of the Eastern Border is currently the oldest and most senior among the Kings of the Four Realms. However, precisely because of this, this old king often relies on seniority, to the point of becoming senile and corrupted!"

With that explanation, everyone understood. It seemed that every year the Murong Prince Mansion of East River gave enough respect and tribute to the Eastern King, which was why regarding the claim of Gusu Murong as the King of East River, the Eastern King naturally turned a blind eye.

Furthermore, the territory of East River was awkwardly situated between the Southern Territory and the Eastern Border. Since it was jointly governed, both territories would easily neglect it.

"Let's go!" Ye Feng waved his hand, then left the hall in a wheelchair pushed by Hong Qingyan, before getting into the car.

Hong Qingyan was naturally very happy because Ye Feng still chose to bring her along on this distant journey. She could see that this king of no ordinary status genuinely regarded her as his fiancée.

This made Hong Qingyan both happy and apprehensive, to the point where she had several sleepless nights.

The three cars quickly left the Southern River Region Jiangnan, and after getting on the highway, they sped eastward.

As for the aftermath with the Four Great Families of Southern River Region Jiangnan, Ye Feng didn't pay much attention. He only instructed Master of Pang Family to establish a foundation and, additionally, used secret channels to contact the Headquarters of the Martial Alliance in the Imperial Capital, asking them to send another reliable person to take charge of the situation in Jiangnan.

Four hours later, the car left the highway and entered the territory of East of the River!

At that moment, at the Murong Prince Mansion located in the suburbs' old garden, an off-road vehicle roared in and stopped abruptly at the mansion's gate. A young man dressed in a close-fitting martial outfit quickly jumped out of the car.

"Bad news, he's come, that youngster is here, quickly report to the King of East River, that Ye fellow has arrived!" the man shouted as he rushed into the mansion.

Inside, Murong Tongming was enjoying afternoon tea in the pavilion, opposite Elder Xuan Ming.

At this very moment, Elder Xuan Ming, draped in shoulder-length loose hair, wore a silk brocade short robe with buttons undone, exuding an undisciplined air. Two beautiful maids were behind him, massaging his back and shoulders.

The informant barged in, hollering all the way and interrupting the scene.

"This is outrageous, what is this ruckus about, have you no sense of decorum at all!" Murong Tongming instantly berated him in fury.

"It's terrible, Master, he's come, that Ye chap, he's entered our East River, and now he's heading straight for our palace!" the informant panted out the news.

Crack!

Perhaps out of great anger or anxiety, Murong Tongming clenched the teacup in his hand too tightly, shattering it on the spot.

Across from him, Elder Xuan Ming glanced over and said with a cold laugh, "What's there to panic about? Since the youngster has come to us, it couldn't be any better. I shall eliminate him here and save us a trip to Jiangnan!"

Having said that, Elder Xuan Ming slowly stood up and picked up his strange-looking cane.
