Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 767 - 741 Did Good Intentions Go Awry?

Hong Wuji and other top hierarchs of the Hong Clan hadn't been gone long when soon after, they returned, accompanied by over a dozen powerful figures from the Buddhist and Confucian Sects walking on the bluestone path toward them.

Ye Feng looked up and saw that two ancient ancestors from the Buddhist and Confucian Sects were also present, though at the moment these two fellows were merely accompanying the others.

In fact, even Hong Wuji, the ancestral patriarch of the Hong Family, had lowered his stance at this time, offering smiling greetings to the two elders with whitened hair and beards who were walking in the center of the path.

These two elders appeared to be of a very advanced age, with white eyebrows that touched their shoulders. The person on the left, dressed in a white robe, seemed to be the Supreme Holy Elder of the Confucian Sect, while the other person, wearing a large monk robe, was a bald elder with long white eyebrows--obviously the Supreme Buddhist Elder from the Buddhist Sect.

In terms of age, even Hong Wuji, the patriarch of the Hong Family, was a junior to these two Elders of the Supreme Sects, both of whom were over three hundred years old, contemporaries of the Elder of the Supreme Clan from the Hong Family of the Ancient Clan.

Of course, it goes without saying that to live to such an age, the cultivation levels of these two were extraordinary.

"To think that two esteemed seniors would condescend to visit us, my Hong Family is truly honored. If the two Elders are willing to help this time, then Hong Tianguo might yet be saved!" Hong Wuji said with a smile.

The Supreme Holy Elder of the Confucian Sect on the left waved his hand and said, "Deviation is usually caused by the invasion of a Heart Demon, which is no trivial matter. Fortunately, Brother Tianyi and I are experts in this field, and in addition, Brother Tianyi knows an Ancient Incantation specifically targeted at objects of the Demonic Path. With the two of us joining forces, there should be a great assurance of success."

"That's wonderful to hear. If Hong Tianguo can be rescued this time, my Hong Family will be endlessly grateful!" Hong Wuji said, bowing slightly.

The Supreme Buddhist Elder from the Buddhist Sect spoke solemnly, "Ordinarily, the two of us seldom make appearances in the secular world, and we rarely set foot in the Outer Battlefield. After all, at our level, unless our Sect faces great peril, or the Human Race reaches a critical moment of crisis, we would never easily take action."

However, here he paused before changing the subject, "But the situation now is special. The Great Wall of Heaven won't hold much longer, and it looks like the Demon Horn Tribe is about to launch a massive attack. At such a critical time, we old folks can no longer remain hidden from the world."

The powerful figures of the Hong Family's top hierarchy all spoke up, "The seniors hold the Human Race in their hearts and have decided to re-enter the world at this crucial juncture. It is truly a blessing for our race, and we are profoundly admiring."

The Supreme Holy Elder of the Confucian Sect waved his hand and asked, "What about the three Elders of the Ancient Hong Clan? Do they have any plans to take action now?"

Hong Wuji shook his head and said, "The junior has already gone to the back mountain to request their assistance once, but there was no response from the three Elders. They have always been in secluded cultivation, but the Elders have already declared that as long as the Clan Territory is in trouble, and the Human Race is in peril, they will definitely take action."

"That's good to hear!" The two Sect Elders from the Buddhist and Confucian Sects nodded slightly upon hearing this and then sighed with acknowledgment, "Once the Demon Horn Tribe launches a full-scale invasion, ultimately, our peak combat power is what matters. Indeed, it will be up to us to influence the outcome of the battle."

"Indeed, indeed!" Hong Wuji nodded continuously. As they spoke, the group had already arrived at the entrance to the stone chamber.

Ye Feng and Hong Qingyan had already moved aside, watching the two Supreme Sect Elders arriving without intending to step forward for greeting, as they were not familiar with them.

Of course, the two Sect Elders simply glanced at Ye Feng and Hong Qingyan, then shifted their gaze away.

Due to the uniqueness of their cultivation methods, even the two Supreme Sect Elders couldn't determine the extent of Ye Feng's cultivation. In their eyes, both he and Hong Qingyan seemed to be merely at the pinnacle of the Golden Core Realm. While such a cultivation realm at their age indicated some talent, it wasn't enough to draw special attention from the two Supreme Sects.

Nor did Hong Wuji intend to introduce them. Although he acknowledged Ye Feng's talent and strength as extraordinary, he didn't consider Ye Feng important enough to mention, especially since they were in the Hong Clan Territory.

"Is this the current Chief of the Hong Clan? How has he fallen unconscious?" asked the Supreme Holy Elder of the Confucian Sect.

"It's like this, senior. It was this young man Ye Feng who took action and temporarily knocked him out!" said a Great Power of the Yin-Yang Realm from the Hong Family.

The Confucian Sect Holy Elder nodded slightly and said, "Being able to knock him out without harm does show some skill, but it's only temporary. In less than four hours, he will wake up even more violent than before, and the Heart Demon in his Heavenly Heart Palace will be even more frenzied."

The Supreme Buddhist Elder also spoke gravely, "Indeed, once this Heart Demon becomes more frantic, it will consume Life Essence even faster, which means his life will ebb away more quickly. Therefore, there was no need to knock him unconscious, as it will only backfire."

The Yin-Yang Realm Great Power who had just spoken heard the Elders' words and retorted immediately, "You hear that, Ye? You really thought showing off your petty skills was a good idea, but now you realize how severe it is, huh? By knocking our clan chief unconscious, you've not only failed to alleviate his suffering but have actually endangered him further."
