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

"No, just the two of us can't compete with these people. Should we inform the Hall Master?"

Hong Zhong lowered his voice as he spoke, already considering reporting the news to the Fourth Hall Master, Hong Wuji. He had detected the presence of three Golden Core Realm Great Powers from the Bu Family and another three from the Nine Great Sects of Ancient Martial Arts; being just the two of them, there was no way they could possibly outmatch the others.

"No way!"

"If we report to the Hall Master now, the moment he steps out of Xuanyuan Hall it will definitely draw the attention of the other Hall Masters. Then how could we possibly have a share of the Void Spirit Fruit?"

Hong Qing snorted coldly, his thoughts clear as crystal.

The news of the Void Spirit Fruit had leaked two days ago, but so far no Hall Master Level powerhouse had shown up, which was clear evidence that no one had reported the matter to that level yet.

Everybody understood implicitly that if the matter was reported up to the Hall Masters, then the Void Spirit Fruit would probably have nothing to do with them. After all, the Void Spirit Fruit, which aids in the cultivation of spiritual power, could attract the attention of even those mighty Hall Master Level practitioners in the Yin-Yang Realm.

Once Hall Master Level powerhouses get involved, in battles of that scale, they wouldn't have any chance of participating, and the eventual Void Spirit Fruit would surely be divided up solely among the Hall Master Level powerhouses. No one would willingly give up on the fruit; hence, up until now, no one had informed the Hall Master Level figures.

"Inform Hong Tianyu. There's still some time before it ripens, and he should be active nearby Xuanyuan Hall. It shouldn't take him much time to get here."

Hong Qing whispered.

Hong Zhong's eyes brightened. Hong Tianyu was the superb talent from the previous generation of the Hong Family's talent rankings, ranking second on the list. More than a year ago, he had already advanced to the Golden Core Realm, possessing immense and unparalleled strength, with few rivals among his peers in the realm.

They hadn't informed Hong Tianyu before because they had wanted to keep the remaining Void Spirit Fruits for the Fourth Hall Master, but now the situation was different. They couldn't possibly get the upper hand against the Bu Family and the Nine Great Sects of Ancient Martial Arts and needed to call for reinforcements to have a chance at the Void Spirit Fruit.

Meanwhile, Ye Feng, Chi Jark, and others had also flown in from a distance, immediately drawing the attention of the three factions present.

Golden Cicada and Bu Tianyun looked towards Ye Feng and his group, their expressions changing in an instant.

"Damn it, even Ye Feng received the news and has come,"

Golden Cicada's face darkened, his eyes filled with wariness.

He had witnessed Ye Feng's imposing manner in front of Xuanyuan Hall and knew full well that Ye Feng was an extremely formidable opponent. He felt that he had no chance of winning against Ye Feng.

The others from the Nine Great Sects also changed their expressions. They had mostly just emerged from the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm, and having witnessed Ye Feng's methods, they did not expect him to show up as well.

Elder Cangming looked particularly fearful, having experienced Ye Feng's strength firsthand more than ten days ago – an opponent he knew he could not afford to provoke. He vividly remembered how Elder Hua Yue from the Flora Sect had been directly struck dead by one of Ye Feng's Great Seals. If it weren't for his swift escape, leaving Elder Hua Yue behind, he might not be alive today.

He hadn't thought his luck would be so bad that, just coming over to get a share of the action upon hearing about the Void Spirit Fruit, he would run into Ye Feng right away.

Elder Cangming's face had turned green with trepidation at the thought of Ye Feng, who had become a significant psychological shadow for him.

"Ye Feng, as well as people from the Chi and Xiao families, have arrived. This is getting tricky,"

Bu Tianyun's brow also furrowed. He had been yearning to redeem himself against Ye Feng, but Ye Feng's overwhelming display had far exceeded his expectations. Now Ye Feng had come here, most likely for the Void Spirit Fruit as well.

"It seems this Void Spirit Fruit won't be so easy to obtain after all,"

Bu Tianyun muttered. Although he knew he probably wasn't below Ye Feng, he wasn't willing to retreat just yet.

Indeed, the more chaotic the situation, the greater the opportunity, and it was even possible for someone to take advantage of the confusion and unexpectedly snatch away the Void Spirit Fruit.

Hong Zhong and Hong Qing's faces darkened further upon seeing Ye Feng and the others arrive. Although they were not entirely aware of the situation at the gates of Xuanyuan Hall earlier, they knew that Ye Feng and his group had gone to the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm, and the intense auras emanating from Chi Jark and Xiao Rulong were not to be underestimated.

Although Ye Feng's realm was only at the Peak Martial King, by now, nobody believed in his supposed level. The story of his overwhelming victory over the Bu Family's genius had already spread far and wide.

For Ye Feng's part, Chi Jark couldn't help but smile upon arrival.

"Wow, quite a crowd has gathered. It's starting to get interesting."

Chi Jark grinned, already sensing the presence of the various parties upon arrival at the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm. All the prodigies who had entered were now here, and right now, the area had already amassed over ten Grandmasters of the Golden Core Realm!

"Another grand battle is about to begin. Indeed, this is interesting; otherwise, it would not be fun with just that Titan Giant Ape,"

Xiao Rulong also chimed in, fanning himself. He had grown accustomed to such events, having spent a long time on the Outer Battlefield. He no longer found the current scenario surprising, as every emergence of a rare treasure or discovery of Spiritual Medicine typically led to a major battle.

The group then settled down on a mountaintop to lie in wait. Since the Void Spirit Fruit wasn't ripe yet, there was no need to disturb the Titan Giant Ape at this moment.

Now, there were four factions lying in ambush for the Void Spirit Fruit, each stationed in different directions, all secretly watching over the Void Spirit Fruit, waiting for it to mature.

"Those two old guys from the Hong Family must be green with envy by now. At first, those two old fellows thought they could monopolize the Void Spirit Fruit all to themselves."

Chi Jark glanced at Hong Qing and Hong Zhong with a smirk.

"Don't be too careless," Ye Feng smiled. "When the situation gets chaotic, it won't be so easy to get the Void Spirit Fruit anymore."

He had great confidence in his strength, but now there were more and more Grandmasters of the Golden Core Realm, so even he didn't dare to be too careless.

Xiao Rulong nodded, "The Hong Family's Hong Qing and Hong Zhong will definitely not be the only ones trying to snatch it; they've probably already contacted other Golden Core Realm Grandmasters from their family."

"Eight or nine out of ten, they'll ask Hong Tianyu to come over. Otherwise, with just the two of them, they wouldn't even qualify to compete."

Xiao Rulong's eyes were sharp as he directly analyzed the situation.

Upon hearing this, Chi Jark's face became serious. Hong Tianyu!

This guy was indeed strong. Although he hadn't entered the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm, a year ago he had already become a Grandmaster of the Golden Core Realm, with few rivals within it, definitely a formidable adversary.

"Hong Tianyu, huh? I would actually like to see how strong he is."

Ye Feng stroked his chin. How strong would the number one person of the Hong Family, who occupied the second spot on the previous genius ranking, be?

As for Hong Gaishi, Ye Feng no longer considered him a rival; they were completely not at the same level anymore. He wasn't even at Golden Core Realm, posing no threat. On the contrary, Hong Tianyu, who had advanced to a Grandmaster of the Golden Core Realm a year ago, piqued his interest.

"Will Bu Fengning of the Bu Family come?" Ye Feng suddenly asked again.

Before the selection for the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm began, he had heard Chi Jark and Xiao Rulong mention the number one person of the Bu Family, who had become a Grandmaster of the Golden Core Realm three years ago and possessed strength comparable to the top genius of the rankings from three years ago. This was what Ye Feng was most interested in now.

Both Chi Jark and Xiao Rulong's expressions changed when Ye Feng asked this question.

After thinking for a moment, Chi Jark said, "Bu Fengning, there haven't been any updates about him for a long time. The last time there was news about that guy was a year ago, with rumors from someone who claimed to have seen him enter the Ice Prison Valley!"

Ice Prison Valley!

Ye Feng's expression shifted. This was one of the Four Great Desolate Lands of the Outer Battlefield. The Shadow and Leng Wuming had mentioned that they had passed by the Ice Prison Valley, but were deterred by the terrifying aura within, not even daring to approach.

Now that Bu Fengning was speculated to have entered the Ice Prison Valley, would he still come to compete for the Void Spirit Fruit?

At this moment, Xiao Rulong directly said, "Ice Prison Valley is still some distance from here. If Bu Fengning is still in the Ice Prison Valley, it's definitely impossible for the Bu Family to notify him to come now."

"Unless he has already emerged from the Ice Prison Valley and is around the Xuanyuan Hall region, then it's a different story."

"Of course, it's also possible he fell in the Ice Prison Valley, isn't it?"

Xiao Rulong speculated several outcomes in succession.

"If the Bu Family hears what you just said, without surprise, they would likely immediately squash you to death."

Chi Jark grinned.

Xiao Rulong coughed lightly, and finally closed his mouth. Indeed, these words were not nice to say. However, with the mention of Bu Fengning, everyone became more somber.

The time for the Void Spirit Fruit to ripen was approaching closer and closer, and a rich fragrance was already starting to spread from the area where the Titan Giant Ape lay.

Another four hours passed, and the Titan Giant Ape, which had been lying down sleeping, woke up. It roared, stood up from the ground, and its pitch-black eyes were already fixed on the cave entrance overflowing with light.

It knew that the Void Spirit Fruit it had been waiting for ten days was about to ripen.

"Young Master, should we make a move? The Void Spirit Fruit will mature soon!"

From the Bu Family's side, a Golden Core Realm Grandmaster asked in a low voice, eyes fixed on the Titan Giant Ape.

Bu Tianyun furrowed his brows and glanced in the other directions. Noticing that there were still no movements elsewhere, he said in a deep voice, "Hold off for now, we can't be the first ones to act."

He was well aware that if their Bu Family acted first, the Titan Giant Ape would definitely focus on them. Even though the three Grandmasters of the Golden Core Realm from his family could absolutely deal with the Titan Giant Ape, they would be taken advantage of by others if they started fighting with the Ape.

Bu Tianyun was not foolish; it was best to wait for someone else to make the first move.

In fact, everyone present understood this principle. Whoever acted first would surely be at a disadvantage, and so at that moment, no one was willing to move, watching as the maturation of the Void Spirit Fruit was imminent!
