Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 690 - 683: Finally Realizing Something is Wrong

In fact, the hall masters of Xuanyuan Hall didn't realize that Xiao Rulong and Chi Jien had brought forward the patriarchs of their respective families; although on the surface they appeared to be suggesting that Xuanyuan Nation should head the Global Alliance, their true intent was to stall the hall masters of Xuanyuan Hall in order to buy time for Ye Feng.

Ancestor of the Xiao Family nodded and said, "There's no time to lose. I must trouble the hall masters to notify the other Three Great Powers immediately, and also to invite representatives from the slightly more renowned factions of the Outer Battlefield to come and discuss the matter."

Bu Family Patriarch said in a deep voice with a harrumph, "This matter is of great importance; I'm afraid it's not something that can be settled by a simple meeting, right?"

"Of course," the Chi Family Patriarch said. "Today is just a preliminary discussion. The various factions will exchange opinions, and then further discussions can be made. After all, there is less than two years left. This matter can no longer be put off, or else the Human Race will definitely fall into crisis!"

The First Hall Master immediately waved his hand and said earnestly, "Let's do it this way; we Xuanyuan Hall will take the lead. The meeting will be held in Martial Battle City. The various factions will first get in touch and exchange opinions, and then we can make further plans!"

"That would be very good," Ancestors of the Xiao Chi Families nodded slightly.

As long as they could divert the attention of the major powers to the matter of the Global Alliance, they naturally wouldn't focus on Ye Feng's situation for the time being.

"Both patriarchs, please feel free to rest at our Xuanyuan Hall for now. After receiving replies from the major powers, we can then head to Martial Battle City together," the First Hall Master said.

"Much obliged," the Xiao Chi Families' Ancestors slowly stood up and bowed.

After that, the various hall masters dispersed, with Xiao Rulong, Chi Jien, and their respective patriarchs leaving the grand hall as well.

Ancestor of the Hong Family, Hong Wuji, was about to head to his quarters when the Bu Family Patriarch called out to him from a distance, "Brother Wuji, please wait a moment."

"What else is it?" Hong Wuji stopped in his tracks and asked coldly.

Despite how the Bu and Hong Family Patriarchs seemed to be cooperating in the hall, the two were actually conspiring together. In fact, both families harbored intense rivalry towards each other, with each patriarch wishing to control Xuanyuan Hall and assume the position of Chief Hall Master.

Currently, they had a common enemy in the Chief Hall Master, which was why they had chosen to temporarily join forces.

Bu Family Patriarch came over, frowning, "Don't you think the timing of the Xiao Chi Families is a bit peculiar? I always feel there's something amiss here!"

"They already said it, they came to propose the establishment of the Global Alliance, what's there to suspect?" Hong Wuji huffed.

"That's true. Considering the character of the Xiao Chi Families, this is indeed consistent with their way of doing things," the Bu Family Patriarch nodded.

However, Hong Wuji suddenly asked, "By the way, what on earth happened to that lad Ye Feng? We still haven't heard a thing from him, have we?"

"How would I know? He must still be around the Great Wall of Heaven. Since Old Long decided to appoint him as the new leader of the Human Race, the villagers from that little mountain village will naturally follow him," the Bu Family Patriarch said with a sneer.

The Bu Family Patriarch continued with a cold smile, "Tell me, Hong Wuji, you wouldn't still be thinking of making a move on that kid Ye Feng, would you? Not to mention if you can take him now, if you really dare to touch him, I reckon those rustic and boorish villagers from the Northwest Little Mountain Village won't let you off!"

Hong Wuji likewise curled his lips into a cold smile, "That Ye brat has repeatedly shown me disrespect and did not take my Hong Family seriously at all. Of course, I won't let him off easily. Even if the Northwest Little Mountain Village stands behind him, so what? Now that Old Long is gone, my Hong Family of the Ancient Clan really doesn't need to be concerned!"

Having said that, Hong Wuji flung his sleeves and immediately stepped away.

Watching the departing figure of Hong Wuji, the Bu Family Patriarch's eyes gradually narrowed, and with his cunning gaze, it was unclear what he was thinking.

While Xuanyuan Hall urgently contacted the other Three Great Powers in preparation to head to the Martial Battle Platform for a conference to discuss the establishment of the Global Alliance, Ye Feng had already entered the Outer Battlefield with several hundred subordinates.

Due to the vast area of the Outer Battlefield and the limitation of gravity, as well as the fact that the cultivation levels of the people were not very high—mostly consisting of Martial Kings and those in the Divine Path Realm—fast flight was not possible,

Moreover, with such a large number of people, it was naturally impossible for Ye Feng to carry so many people with him at high speed, so they had to advance slowly towards the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm. He had estimated that, at the current pace of the troops, it would take at least a day and a half to reach their destination.

Apart from Ye Feng's group, there were also the troops of the Four Great Legions headed by Xiao Chuanqi; in addition, there was the team led by Yu Feiyu from the Hundred Flowers Valley of the Medicine God. These people had not yet entered the Outer Battlefield, and it would take at least two days to reach the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm.

Two days was enough time for many things to happen. If the Four Great Powers reacted and directly sent troops to intercept them en route to the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm, it would be virtually impossible for Ye Feng to safely get his troops into the Secret Realm.

At this time, the strategic intervention by the Xiao Chi Families' patriarchs to distract the major powers was undeniably critical.

Just two days. Once all the troops entered the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm, Ye Feng would have nothing to worry about anymore, even if the Four Great Powers came knocking then, he would not fear them.

"Move faster, everyone try not to fall behind. The Outer Battlefield is extremely dangerous; if anyone strays or acts recklessly, it could easily cost them their life!" Ye Feng shouted sternly.

In fact, having these people undergo training in the Outer Battlefield was also an excellent choice. After all, the Outer Battlefield was home to a variety of monsters and Ferocious Beasts, all of which were great for training purposes. Moreover, by slaying those monsters and Ferocious Beasts, one could obtain a large number of unexpected treasures.
