Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 686 - 680: Infiltrating the Demon Horn Tribe
It wasn't until she was preparing to leave the Great Wall of Heaven that Hong Qingyan realized that there was no trace of the Shadow, and she couldn't help asking, "Right, Big Brother Ye, where has Shadow gone? Why don't I see her anywhere?"
Ye Feng couldn't help but laugh, "With so many people around, only you, being careful, have noticed that Shadow is missing."
Hong Qingyan couldn't help but roll her eyes. In fact, by now, how could she not see Shadow's feelings for Ye Feng? It's just that all this time, Ye Feng had never shown too much interest in Shadow.
"Where has she gone? Don't tell me you've assigned her to undertake another mission. You, a big man, ordering a delicate young woman around—doesn't your conscience bother you?" Hong Qingyan said, rolling her eyes. Now that her Cultivation Realm had improved, she no longer felt inferior like before.
Ye Feng sighed and said, "I am really starting to doubt, Shadow might not be a member of the Human Race."
Hong Qingyan was startled and retorted, "Sister Shadow isn't from the Human Race? Why would you think that?"
"That's because her Supernatural Ability is quite special. I don't know if you remember that Demon Horn Tribe's Mo Keye who tried to assassinate me before; his Innate Divine Ability is exactly the same as Shadow's Supernatural Ability. He could merge into the darkness or shadows," Ye Feng pondered and said.
Hong Qingyan also furrowed her brows in thought, but did not speak.
Ye Feng immediately continued, "In fact, it's not just Shadow. There are other Supernatural Ability Users in the Human Realm. Although there aren't many, their abilities are quite peculiar, somewhat similar to the Demon Horn Tribe's Tentacle Divine Ability. I even suspect they could be the offspring of unions between the Demon Horn Tribe and our Human Race, of course, I don't rule out other Races either!"
Up to now, among the Alien Space-Time worlds Ye Feng knew of, there were basically none other than the Demon Horn Tribe. However, it was clear to him that, on the other side of the Alien Space-Time, there were definitely many other powerful Races, even possibly the existence of the Myriad Races of All Heavens.
Actually, there were the occasional members of the Human Race who had slipped into the Alien Territory through the passage and entered the domain of the Demon Horn Tribe, but most of these humans had difficulty coming back alive. Those who did return likely didn't venture far, so the understanding of the world on the other side of the Alien Space-Time was quite limited.
Hong Qingyan's reaction was not slow, and she exclaimed in surprise, "So Big Brother Ye, you've sent Shadow to infiltrate the Demon Horn Tribe Army and enter the other side of the Alien Space-Time?"
"Exactly!" Ye Feng nodded and said, "Shadow possesses the Dark Night Shadow Supernatural Divine Power, naturally suitable for clandestine operations. Once she activates her ability and enters someone's shadow, or hides in the darkness of night, even the Void Clan cannot detect her. She's ideal for gathering intelligence."
"But that's too dangerous," Hong Qingyan said.
"It's alright. I asked Shadow beforehand, and she immediately agreed. She also said that when she saw Mo Keye, she suddenly felt an odd kind of sensation. She too wanted to take the opportunity to investigate and clarify things. Moreover, I've only tasked her with gathering intelligence, to get a clear picture of the situation on the other side of the Alien Space-Time. As long as she doesn't act rashly, there shouldn't be any danger!"
As Ye Feng spoke, he saw that Hong Qingyan wanted to say more, so he immediately waved his hand, "Enough, someone has to go out and explore the condition on the other side of the Alien Space-Time. As the saying goes, 'know the enemy and know yourself, and you will never be defeated.' We'll have approximately two years. Once the Great Wall of Heaven collapses, the Demon Horn Tribe will surely make a comeback. If by then we still know nothing and understand nothing about the enemy, it will end up being very passive!"
"Let's go, we must hurry back to the Imperial Capital. Time is of the essence. We need to make haste!" After finishing, Ye Feng, bringing Hong Qingyan along, swiftly descended from the Great Wall of Heaven.
Originally, Ye Feng and Hong Qingyan had started off behind the others, but with his current speed of movement, even while carrying Hong Qingyan, he was extremely fast. They even managed to leave the Outer Battlefield and return to Earth earlier than Xiao Chuanqi and the others.
Emerging from the Outer Battlefield through the Whirlpool Gate, they returned to the vast East Sea. The Hidden Guards of various Great Powers lurking in the vicinity didn't even capture a trace of Ye Feng's presence before the two disappeared from the spot as if they had vanished into thin air.
"Hmm, strange? Why do I feel like a powerful presence just arrived, but before I had a chance to investigate properly, it disappeared?" one Hidden Guard said to himself.
"What's so strange about that? It must surely be the return of some peerless powerhouse from the Outer Battlefield. Such individuals are beyond our ability to investigate. Even the forces behind us cannot probe into them, so let's not fret needlessly," another Hidden Guard shook their head and said.
Upon the East Sea, calmness was swiftly restored.
Soon, Ye Feng returned to the Utility Pavilion. Fortunately, as soon as he returned to the East Sea, he had already sent messages to Zhuge Wuming and Grand Sect Leader Zhao Gongming. By the time Ye Feng arrived at the Utility Pavilion, both men had just walked in.
"Ye Feng, you're back. I have heard from my father the general situation at the Great Wall of Heaven," Grand Sect Leader Zhao Gongming, seeing Ye Feng, was excited and happy, and then heaved a sigh, "Thankfully, in this great battle, our Human Race won. The Human Realm has secured a respite for two years."
Ye Feng nodded and said, "Two years, in the end, is still too short. However, with the lessons learned this time, we must enhance the strength of the Human Race to the greatest extent in these two years. Otherwise, we will not be able to confront the great war that will break out in two years, by which time our Human Race will very likely face massive casualties, and could even potentially fall under the enslavement of the Demon Horn Tribe."
