Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 684 - 679: Ye Feng’s Deployment and Planning

Upon the Great Wall of Heaven, there was no wind, nor the rise and fall of the moon; all that existed was the eternally bleak and dim sky dome—especially after the great battle, which engendered an overwhelming sense of oppression.

However, Ye Feng knew that he must quickly sort out his emotions and adjust his state of mind to face the subsequent events.

Ye Feng had not spent much time with Old Long—they had not even met more than ten times—but that did not hinder the camaraderie between them.

Ye Feng recalled when Old Long passed on the Technique of the Three Thousand Acupoints to him. Old Long had probably just returned from the Outer Battlefield, and of course, that Cultivation Method Inheritance was also something Old Long found there. At the time, Old Long said he was illiterate and could not understand what was written, so he gifted it to Ye Feng.

Ye Feng had thought it was just two unremarkable pieces of cloth until he began to cultivate and realized it was a formidable Dao Technique.

Later, when they met again, Ye Feng originally wanted to take Old Long as his master, but Old Long refused, no matter how earnestly Ye Feng entreated him. Now, upon waking, it was not that Old Long refused, but that he did not dare, knowing full well what it meant for someone to be able to cultivate that technique.

Perhaps Old Long felt he was not worthy to take Ye Feng as a disciple, so he simply acknowledged Ye Feng as a younger martial brother. Since then, Ye Feng had gained an elder martial brother, and that was also the first time he visited Northwest Little Mountain Village. Of course, back then, he was far from capable of discerning the mystery and might of the village.

At that time, Ye Feng merely thought that the isolated mountain village was indeed a utopia. The villagers, despite being weak, sick, and disabled, were all very friendly, which made Ye Feng long for that place.

Now, a decade and more had flown by, and things were no longer the same. Old Long had long passed away, and the villagers of the Northwest Little Mountain Village had suffered horrendous casualties in the great battle—so much so that one might say they were all but wiped out.

At this thought, Ye Feng slowly lowered his head to look at the black gourd bottle in his hand and muttered through clenched teeth, "Old Long, and Old Man with the Red Nose, rest assured, one day, I will bring you back to life!"

After he spoke, Ye Feng's wrist flicked slightly, and the two black bottles suddenly shimmered and vanished from his palm, apparently entering his storage ring.

It was then that Ye Feng remembered there was still a Dragon Egg at the very bottom of his storage ring.

The Dragon Egg lay quietly in the corner, surrounded by various forms of energy. Of course, Ye Feng knew this energy was probably for the Dragon Egg to absorb, something Old Long had prepared long ago to facilitate the egg's hatching.

Ye Feng soon noticed that the Energy Stones around the Dragon Egg had diminished quite a bit; it seemed the egg had absorbed a significant amount over time. Considering the remaining Energy Stones, there was still a long wait before the Dragon Egg would fully hatch.

Ye Feng no longer focused on the Dragon Egg, even though he knew it was extraordinary, because previously, from the mere patterns on the Dragon Egg, he had vaguely grasped a Martial Skill.

Of course, this Shocking Dragon Claw was still merely a concept for the time being, and with so much going on, he had hardly any time to ponder it further.

"Let's put aside the matter of the Dragon Egg for now. Right now, I must think about how to deal with the upcoming situation!" Ye Feng said as he slowly stood up. After all, as the Northern Border King, he had ample experience in handling affairs and quickly sorted out a general plan.

The most important thing right now was the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm. He estimated that as soon as the Four Great Powers investigated, they would soon discover the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm, especially since a large contingent from the Northern Border Army and students from the Martial Academy had been previously mobilized there. Moreover, the battle prowess of these Golden Core Realm soldiers from the Northern Border Army and Martial Academy students had caught the attention of several Great Powers.

Ye Feng's gaze sharpened as he continued, "Therefore, we must figure out a way to hold off the Four Great Powers. Right, we must take the initiative. Otherwise, once the Four Great Powers start questioning, it will put us in a passive position."

Saying that, Ye Feng immediately used a Sound Transmission Talisman to summon Xiao Rulong and Chi Jark to the Great Wall of Heaven.

Xiao Rulong and Chi Jark arrived swiftly, asking, "Brother Ye, what's the matter that you've called for us?"

Unbeknownst to them, Xiao Rulong and Chi Jark's attitude toward Ye Feng had become much more respectful, even carrying a subtle hint of subordinates addressing a superior.

It must be noted that both Xiao Chi came from the Four Great Ancient Clans, and even among the younger generation of these clans, they stood out as exceptional. These individuals were extremely proud, and when Ye Feng first entered the Outer Battlefield, Xiao Rulong and Chi Jark hardly took him seriously.

However, as Ye Feng continued to grow stronger and rise, Xiao Chi gradually recognized his strength and eventually chose to follow him. Even then, these Prodigies of the Ancient Clan only followed him as friends, not with the reverence they showed now.

Of course, this was understandable, as in the recent battle, Ye Feng had fought against seven Great Powers of the Demon Horn Tribe from the Yin-Yang Realm, not only without defeat but also injuring three of them. Furthermore, he proceeded like a tiger among sheep, relentlessly hunting down Experts of the Golden Core Realm from the Demon Horn Tribe, with even several of the Half-Step Yin-Yang Realm Demon Horns dying at Ye Feng's hands.
