Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 692 - 684: Hope It’s Not Too Late
"Hurry up and find out why, in such a short amount of time, the Northern King of Xuanyuan Nation, Ye Feng, has cultivated so many experts of the Golden Core Realm, and each of them has been able to completely stabilize their aura right after their breakthrough—this is absolutely abnormal!"
For a moment, the Yin-Yang Divine Masters from the Yin-Yang Temple stirred into action.
"To create a large number of Golden Core Realm cultivators in such a short time is something no ordinary person can accomplish; it must be the secret realms. As far as we know about the Outer Battlefield, there are only a few major secret realms, and the Source Secret Realm that emerged some time ago has already subsided. Apart from that, there is only the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm," speculated the Divine Lords from the Vampire Divine Court.
"That's right, it must undoubtedly be the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm. That kid Ye Feng has entered the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm before; he must have encountered some fortuitous adventure there, which is why he can freely enter and exit it!" the Hall Masters from Xuanyuan Hall said sternly and coldly.
Hong Wuji immediately took out a Communication Talisman and said, "Immediately check the movements around the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm for me. Report back at once if there's any unusual activity, and also keep a close eye on that kid Ye Feng!"
Although the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm isn't considered one of the most advanced among the major secret realms, its contained Spirit Essence Pools are the most numerous, and the Spirit Essence Energy is naturally the most vast. This kind of Spirit Essence is most suitable for someone at the Foundation Establishment Realm to breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm.
Previously, it had always been under the joint control of the Four Great Powers, only opening once every decade, and required the union of the Four Great Powers to open. No one could monopolize it. But now, Ye Feng alone could freely enter and exit the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm and enjoy the enormous Spirit Essence Pool within. How could the Great Powers remain at peace within their hearts?
Outside Martial Battle City, the experts from the Four Great Powers gathered there. These Great Powers took out their Communication Talismans and issued orders. In an instant, informants scattered across the Outer Battlefield began to mobilize.
At this moment, the First Hall Master chose to watch from the sidelines indifferently, seemingly uninterested in the so-called struggle for secret realms. This was understandable, after all, as someone who had cultivated to the Half-Step Void Realm, an extraordinary Great Power, ordinary secret realms were no longer sufficient for his needs. It could even be said that in the entire Outer Battlefield, there weren't many treasures that could catch his eye.
Moreover, the First Hall Master had always been a loner, never seen with any entourage or relatives by his side, which naturally eliminated the need to seek treasures and resources in the secret realms for his family or clan.
At this time, the Patriarchs from the Xiao and Chi families had already moved aside, both showing expressions of helplessness on their faces.
Following them, Xiao Rulong lamented, "Who would've thought that these Great Powers would react so quickly. We were originally planning to shift their attention to the Global Alliance. It seems that these selfish fellows care more about their own gains."
Chi Jarkan also sneered, "Thankfully, that guy Ye Feng is meticulous and made preparations in advance, even having us move out our family patriarchs to buy time. Calculating the time, two days have passed by now. If Ye Feng's actions are quick, he should have already led people into the secret realm, right?"
"The specific situation is unclear. After all, the situations in the Outer Battlefield are too complicated. Plus, the number of people Ye Feng is bringing is not small. It's hard to say if he could have brought them into the secret realm in such a short time," said Xiao Rulong with a sigh.
The Patriarchs from the Xiao and Chi families then suddenly waved their hands and said, "Let's go, our task is done. These so-called Four Great Powers are nothing but a disorganized mob. It's impossible for them to resist the Demon Horn Tribe; next, we must make plans since there isn't much time left!"
After speaking, the two patriarchs, each taking their younger generations, swept away and vanished on the spot.
However, just at this moment, Hong Wuji's Communication Talisman buzzed with activity; he immediately answered it.
"What did you say? That kid Ye Feng really led hundreds into the Outer Battlefield? After entering the Outer Battlefield, in which direction did he move?"
"From the Southeast Direction? That's exactly where the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm is. It seems I'm right; he has led people into the Outer Battlefield. How long has it been since he entered?" Hong Wuji asked one question after another.
"One and a half days? Damn, that kid is pretty fast!" Alienated by this development, Hong Wuji turned off the Communication Talisman and, with a sweep of his figure, set out directly toward the direction of the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm with several trusted experts.
"Go, that kid Ye Feng really has entered the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm again, thinking he can enjoy it all by himself—no way!" The Bu Family Patriarch also led his people and swiftly followed.
"Damn it, this Ye surname brat is really cunning, seizing this opportunity to expand his own power. Now that the Demon Horn Tribe is about to attack, he knows a way to move freely through the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm but doesn't share with us. This is utterly unreasonable, absolutely unforgivable!"
The numerous Yin-Yang Divine Masters from the Yin-Yang Temple also snorted and dashed towards the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm.
For a time, the people from the Four Great Powers mobilized, and even those smaller powers within the Outer Battlefield rushed over, looking as if they wanted to fish in troubled waters and possibly secure a share for themselves.
At this very moment, Ye Feng, after a day and a half, finally brought the team to a certain small mound.
Elder Bai appeared out of nowhere in front of Ye Feng and immediately bowed, saying, "Your humble servant pays his respects to Your Majesty!"
Ye Feng, however, waved his hand dismissively, "There's no need for formalities at this urgent moment. Immediately take these people into the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm."
At this moment, Ye Feng's powerful spiritual power had a vague premonition that the Four Great Powers probably realized something was amiss, and might even understand what was going on. They were likely heading this way, so he had to hurry.
However, at the moment, only Ye Feng had arrived at the destination first. As for Xiao Chuanqi and the other Four Great Legion Commanders, as well as Yu Feiyu and the rest, none had arrived yet. Roughly calculating, it would probably take another two hours for them to catch up.
Elder Bai didn't waste any time either. He immediately radiated beams of white light that enveloped the several hundred people standing at the entrance to the secret realm. Then, with a whoosh, everyone vanished on the spot, entering the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm.
Ye Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief, having safely transported these people into the secret realm, fulfilling part of the task. Next, it was all up to Xiao Chuanqi and the others.
After thinking it over, Ye Feng turned to Hong Qingyan beside him and said, "Qingyan, you go into the secret realm first as well."
Hong Qingyan understood the current situation and knew that even if she stayed, it wouldn't be much help. Furthermore, since they were already within the range of the secret realm, Ye Feng could enter at any time if he wished, so there was no need to worry about safety.
"Then, Big Brother Ye, I'll go in first, but if something unexpected really does happen later on, you must not force yourself. Just go straight into the secret realm," instructed Hong Qingyan.
"Don't worry, I know my limits and won't act rashly!" Ye Feng nodded.
Hong Qingyan hummed in acknowledgement and then entered the secret realm with Elder Bai's assistance.
Suddenly, Ye Feng felt a stirring in his heart as he looked towards the distant void. The sense of urgency within him grew stronger. It seemed like the Four Great Powers were already on their way here. Judging by their speed, if they were to rush over at full force, it would also take them about two hours.
"I hope there's enough time!" Ye Feng sighed inwardly, but right now it wasn't like he had nothing to do.
Suddenly, he launched himself into the air and flew up high, then shouted, "Elder Bai, assist me, I want to set up a Formation in front of the secret realm!"
Elder Bai, who was quite accomplished in the art of Formations, asked, "What kind of Formation does your Majesty wish to set up?"
"It doesn't need to be too complicated. Arrange a Guardian Formation, the stronger its defensive capability and the longer it can withstand, the better. There is no need for offensive power!" Ye Feng called out.
"Then I understand!" Elder Bai nodded slightly, and immediately, with a flick of his finger, a streak of white light entered Ye Feng's forehead.
Very soon, Ye Feng comprehended the Formation from this streak of white light.
"Nine Heavens Return to Origin Turtle Spirit Great Formation? The name sounds quite good!" Ye Feng nodded slightly. His current ability to comprehend was exceptional. The only reason he didn't understand Formations previously was that he hadn't had the time to study them thoroughly. With just a bit of comprehension, he recognized the framework of this Turtle Spirit Great Formation, which probably was designed according to the pattern of the Divine Beast Black Tortoise.
Suddenly, with a sweeping motion of Elder Bai's great hand, a turtle shell covered in dense and intricate patterns materialized before them.
"To arrange the Great Formation, we need a Magic Artifact as the Formation's core. This turtle shell was a gift from his Majesty years ago, and now it couldn't be more suitable for creating a Formation," Elder Bai explained while simultaneously flicking his right hand repeatedly, sending several flags flying out.
Meanwhile, Ye Feng sat cross-legged right in the center of the mound. His body's vast Spirit Essence surged out, pouring into the Great Formation to maintain its operation.
It could be said that as long as his Spirit Essence was not exhausted, the Great Formation could continue to operate indefinitely. Of course, if someone managed to destroy the entire Formation instantly, Ye Feng estimated that he would also be injured as he was now the core of the Great Formation.
In an instant, fierce winds and flying sand roared over the mound, beams of light shot up into the sky, and quickly, the entire Great Formation was established. The pervasive radiance completely enveloped the mound and, more importantly, as long as Ye Feng wished, the Primordial Spirit Turtle Great Formation could move at will. That was truly what he valued.
"Hide!" Ye Feng formed a Dharma Seal with his hands, and the output of Spirit Essence ceased, instantly concealing the Guardian Great Formation.
However, Ye Feng still sat cross-legged on the spot, then slowly closed his eyes. Everything he could do had been done; the rest was up to fate.
As time slowly passed, an hour and a half later, Ye Feng's eyes shot open and he turned his head towards the East.
In the East, a multitude of dense shadows appeared; at a glance, there seemed to be several hundred people.
Upon seeing these figures, Ye Feng couldn't help but smile with a slight lift of his lips. He recognized that this was precisely Xiao Chuanqi, Gai Jiuyou, and the other Three Great Legion Commanders' troops, not more or less, exactly four hundred people.
"They're quite fast, even half an hour ahead of schedule!" Ye Feng nodded slightly. He was quite confident in the efficiency of the Four Great Legion Commanders.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Chuanqi and the others arrived before Ye Feng, and the Four Great Legion Commanders promptly knelt down.
"We greet Your Majesty!"
"We are honored not to have failed your Majesty, and we have completed the tasks given by you in time!" All four legion commanders kneeled and spoke in unison.
Ye Feng was still sitting cross-legged on the mound but just waved his hand dismissively, "No need for formalities, all rise."
Once the Four Great Legion Commanders had stood up, Ye Feng turned and said, "The situation is quite urgent, so you all better enter the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm first. We can discuss other matters later. Elder Bai, please see them in!"
"As your Majesty commands!" said Elder Bai respectfully, and then with a wide sweep of his hand, streaks of white light surged out again, enveloping the four hundred people before him before sending them inside.
Ye Feng exhaled and added, "Now, only Yu Feiyu and those fifty people are left."
Compared to the others, Yu Feiyu's Cultivation Level was significantly lower, and his ability to lead troops was lacking, which meant their speed was naturally slower.
"Your Majesty need not worry, it should be in time. After all, the Four Great Powers can't react that quickly..."
Xiao Chuanqi was speaking, but before he could finish, from the Western direction, suddenly came a series of fierce and powerful auras.
"Ye Feng! You've got some nerve, daring to monopolize the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm all by yourself. Do you really think we do not exist!" Before anyone came into view, a thunderous roar reverberated through the air.
