Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 525 - 520: The Fall of the Lord of the Three Halls

Xu Shen had never imagined Ye Feng would spare him; he had already prepared himself for death.

Ye Feng was outrageously strong, and with many experts by his side, where would Xu Shen get the confidence to provoke Ye Feng again? Did he think he had lived too long?

Yet, Ye Feng didn't kill him.

"I don't know why you didn't kill me," Xu Shen asked, indicating that he had been ready to die.

"Leader Xu," Ye Feng said calmly, "you and I have no grievances. Why would I kill you? Those who have a feud with me are the Hall Master of Xuanyuan Hall, the Lord of the Three Halls, and Li Benzhong. Leader Xu, you may go."

Xu Shen was a notable figure in these parts, with a backbone of steel; what he achieved today was earned through his own hard work and fists.

"Alright!" Xu Shen nodded. "Ye Feng, I, someone named Xu, will remember this favor. If we meet again someday, just command me, and as long as it's within my power, I won't hesitate!"

Xu Shen valued loyalty and righteousness, and Ye Feng was right—there was no existing enmity between them. Why engage in needless slaughter? Besides, Ye Feng was a decent man, with many powerful followers.

Xu Shen was no fool; becoming a subordinate to Ye Feng might also be a good choice.

Ye Feng was surrounded by experts like clouds, and Xu Shen had seen Gai Jiutian's strength, which he clearly remembered; he was no match for Gai Jiutian.

If Gai Jiutian were to lose his mind, Xu Shen wouldn't be able to control the situation.

"Everyone, follow me and leave this place!"

Xu Shen picked up his Mountain-Opening Broadsword and called out to his brothers.

At this moment, since everyone had already stopped fighting and received orders from Xu Shen, they all left one by one.

This time, Xu Shen had been let down by Li Benzhong and the Lord of the Three Halls, who had abandoned him and fled. Xu Shen was a man of loyalty and righteousness, but the actions of the Lord of the Three Halls and Li Benzhong had chilled his heart.

In the mercenary guild, keeping one's word was paramount. Li Benzhong and the Lord of the Three Halls running off and leaving him and his brothers behind, nearly causing their deaths, was taboo.

The ones Xu Shen despised most were the likes of the Lord of the Three Halls and Li Benzhong. Although the Lord of the Three Halls had shown him favor, such people were not fit for close association.

Because one day, they would surely stab you in the back, and today Xu Shen had truly experienced the feeling of being abandoned by his own people.

After this incident, he guessed he would never again dare to seek out the Lord of the Three Halls or Li Benzhong.

If it weren't for Li Benzhong's slander, he wouldn't have offended Ye Feng and wouldn't be dealing with all these troubles.

"Pass my order, find Li Benzhong for me!"

Li Benzhong had made him suffer greatly; no matter what, Xu Shen wouldn't let this grievance go. He commanded his subordinates to find traces of Li Benzhong on the Outer Battlefield, even if it meant searching to the greatest depths.

His subordinates had no choice but to carry out the orders.

Mu Tian looked at Ye Feng and smiled, "Ye Feng, have all your matters been resolved? If you have any other enemies, tell me, and I'll avenge you!"

Mu Tian couldn't wait any longer for their duel. It hadn't been long since he joined Ye Feng's team when one group after another of enemies arrived. How many people had Ye Feng provoked?

To avoid delaying their duel, he had to settle Ye Feng's scores one by one. Otherwise, if another enemy came looking for Ye Feng and caused trouble, their duel couldn't be postponed any longer. They needed to quickly decide who was the strongest among their peers.

Therefore, he needed to ask Ye Feng clearly if there were still any enemies who hadn't appeared.

Mu Tian had to ask clear questions, or else if another of Ye Feng's enemies arrived, their duel could not continue to be delayed.

"It's settled, Young Lord Mu, I won't delay our duel. When the time comes, I only hope that Young Lord Mu will show mercy!" Ye Feng said with a smile.

"Show mercy?" Mu Tian chuckled. "Don't worry, I will use all my strength. To use all my capabilities is to respect you, and I hope you will do the same!"

Mu Tian had waited so long for the duel, he would naturally bring forth his strength, and he hoped Ye Feng wouldn't disappoint him.

Seeing Mu Tian's earnest expression, Ye Feng smiled, "Alright, Young Lord Mu, I won't hold back!"

Having observed earlier, he knew Mu Tian was very strong; this young man concealed his abilities well and was undoubtedly strongest among his peers that he had met.

And the youngster's background was equally formidable.

"Alright, everyone, rest now. It's not good to travel at night. Rest up, and tomorrow we aim to leave this place!" Ye Feng announced.

The Sect had suffered heavy losses in the battle just now. What used to be a group of over twenty people was now reduced to just over ten. After all, Xu Shen had brought his core members, each with outstanding strength and rich combat experience.

Members of the Sect were accustomed to luxury and lacked the battle-hardened experience of those who stood on the knife's edge daily. If the fighting continued, it was likely that the Sect members would be utterly defeated.

Fortunately, Xu Shen conceded. Otherwise, the Sect members would have been killed to the last man.

Meanwhile, Li Benzhong was rushing towards the direction of Xuanyuan Hall with the Lord of the Three Halls.

"Had I known Xu Shen was so useless, I would not have bothered; this is outright humiliation!" the Lord of the Three Halls cursed.

He failed to get revenge and felt humiliated; when had the Lord of the Three Halls of Xuanyuan Hall ever been so frustrated? Had he not been injured and still recovering, he would have chosen death over fleeing today.

The Lord of the Three Halls had not planned to run; to the victor belongs the spoils. But Li Benzhong dragged him away in a critical moment.

"Great-Grandfather, as the saying goes, 'where there are green hills, one shouldn't fear running out of firewood'. You should take good care of yourself. That Ye Feng will surely die at your hands one day!"

Li Benzhong said in a deep voice.

"Hmph," the Lord of the Three Halls snorted coldly. "Even if the Li Family has fallen, since when did we have someone like you!"

Back when the Lord of the Three Halls was still with the main family, the Li Family was indeed flourishing, but began to decline as soon as he left; the younger generations were not up to par.

The Lord of the Three Halls was also annoyed and had no outlet for his mounting frustration, and Li Benzhong, this junior, was really getting on his nerves.

When the Li Family was at its peak, no matter how powerful the enemy was, they never ran; they never had, preferring to die in battle rather than flee.

Now, it was different; one by one, the descendants of the Li Family were not living up to expectations.

The Lord of the Three Halls was furious, but there was no helping it; times were changing, and only the strong could survive.

"Go, after all, you are still a descendant of my Li Family. When the Li Family was at its peak, we were revered by thousands. Now, the younger generations really do not measure up. I, the Hall Master, feel ashamed because of you, the Hall Master!"

Upon hearing that the Lord of the Three Halls was letting him go, Li Benzhong was immediately dumbfounded - wasn't being sent away now akin to being sent to his death?

He had offended many people, Ye Feng, Xu Shen, and those Sect Members, he had thoroughly offended them all. Sending him away now was undoubtedly sending him to his death.

Moreover, with the vast Outer Battlefield, he simply could not make it out alone because of the various unknown risks lurking here.

Walking out on his own would undoubtedly mean certain death.

"Great-Grandfather, you can't abandon your junior!" Li Benzhong quickly knelt down. "I know that the Li Family is gradually declining and is not as glorious as before, but rest assured, Great-Grandfather, I will definitely revitalize our Li Family and won't let you down!"

The Lord of the Three Halls looked down at Li Benzhong with a cold eye and sneered, "Revitalize the Li Family? Ha-ha-ha, with you?"

What a joke. Li Benzhong had offended so many people and still thought about revitalizing the Li Family, he was dreaming.

Now, who knows how many people are after Li Benzhong's life, and this guy still thinks about going back to revitalize the Li Family? Whether you can even get out of the Outer Battlefield is another matter.

"Leave, you are not worthy of being a member of the Li Family!"

The Lord of the Three Halls was utterly heartless and now directly cut all ties; he owed his current position to Li Benzhong and not killing him was already the greatest mercy he could show.

Li Benzhong's face turned ashen. The Lord of the Three Halls had clearly separated himself and wanted nothing more to do with him.

Li Benzhong was very annoyed and slowly got up from the ground, looking at the back of the Lord of the Three Halls, and from somewhere, he produced a dagger.

"Hmmph, what does it matter if the Li Family has fallen? That's all thanks to you!"

Li Benzhong shouted and the dagger in his hand had already been thrust towards the back of the Lord of the Three Halls.

"You..." At that moment, the Lord of the Three Halls, like any ordinary person without the protection of Spirit Essence, was easily stabbed in the back by the dagger.

"Had you not made so many enemies during your time in power, the Li Family wouldn't have declined after your departure, and we wouldn't have been targeted. If it weren't for me trying to hold it together, the Li Family would have already been annexed by other families!"

Li Benzhong's face was twisted with rage as he bellowed.

The Lord of the Three Halls never imagined that Li Benzhong would actually try to kill him.

"Li Benzhong, you will not die a good death. I, the Hall Master, should have crushed you with a slap back then!"

The Lord of the Three Halls was furious, having spent his life in military service only to face death at the hands of his own junior.

"Even if you kill me, you will die too. Do you know what kind of place the Outer Battlefield is? With your meager strength, you think you can leave the Outer Battlefield? Dream on!"

Upon hearing this, Li Benzhong snorted coldly, "Hmph, you, the old man, will die first!"

As the words fell, Li Benzhong pulled out the dagger stuck in the Lord of the Three Halls' back. The Lord of the Three Halls, whose injuries had not healed, gasped for breath as a result of this turmoil, and passed away.

Thus fell the mighty Lord of the Three Halls of Xuanyuan Hall, and furthermore, at the hands of his own junior.

After dealing with the Lord of the Three Halls, Li Benzhong wasted no time looting his Cultivation Method Secret Manuals, Pill Medicines, and so on. He then disposed of the Lord of the Three Halls' body in the wilderness and set out on the road back.

The Lord of the Three Halls had fallen.

At this time, Li Benzhong was also extremely anxious, believing that Xu Shen must be looking for him by now.

The Outer Battlefield was filled with Xu Shen's informants; finding Li Benzhong would not be difficult.

Indeed, before Xu Shen even returned to camp, he received a report from his subordinates spotting Li Benzhong.

"Well done!" Xu Shen, too, had been tricked by Li Benzhong, and this time, no matter what, he would ensure that Li Benzhong died.

"Did anyone see the Lord of the Three Halls of Xuanyuan Hall?"

If the Lord of the Three Halls was around, it would be difficult to act, for after all, he had shown kindness to Xu Shen, and behind him stood the formidable Xuanyuan Hall, which Xu Shen did not dare to provoke.

"We did not see him; we only saw Li Benzhong alone!"
