Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 722 - 704: I Can Choose to Snatch It Over
Three and a half days later, the group finally arrived at the vicinity of their destination, the Sky Burial Valley.
Sky Burial Valley is located on the southwestern edge of the Outer Battlefield, beyond which lies the endless pitch-black void.
The turbulent flow of the void is torrential, and once one falls into it, even the greatest powers of the void have no return, not to mention those in the Yin-Yang Realm.
From a distance, Ye Feng saw a huge valley situated between two mountain ranges, its depths unseen, with a thick purplish-black mist hovering above it.
"So these are the miasmas of the Sky Burial Valley? Indeed, they are just like those in the Fallen Dragon Valley from before!" Ye Feng couldn't help but think to himself.
In fact, the Sky Burial Valley is a long and narrow area with great depth, making the terrain particularly suitable for ambushes. Therefore, Ye Feng guessed that the human race must have chosen this place for an ambush, leading to the ancient great war with the Demon Horn Tribe.
But surely the Demon Horn Tribe couldn't be that foolish, right? With the mountains high and the valley deep on both sides, they should not have been so foolish as to pass through here!
At this moment, Xiao Rulong said, "It is said that more than two thousand years ago, the gateway through which the Demon Horn Tribe entered our Human Realm appeared at this location. Due to the mountains being extremely high, they had to pass through this narrow valley!"
"So that's how it is." Ye Feng nodded in understanding. Since the teleportation portal was here, they naturally had to take this route.
However, there was one thing Ye Feng did not understand, so he asked, "Right, why did the Demon Horn Tribe choose to place their gateway in such a location in the first place? After all, this terrain is very disadvantageous to them."
Chi Jark laughed and said, "That's because they had no choice. As for why they couldn't choose another place, I don't know. It's not detailed in the secrets."
Ye Feng nodded and did not speak further, his gaze fixing towards the mountains on both sides.
At this point, the peaks of the mountain ranges on both sides were already packed with dense figures, some gathered in twos and threes, while others formed teams of thirty to fifty people.
The people from the Four Great Powers had all arrived, in addition to those from various Independent Cultivator Leagues, as well as various mercenary group teams.
The scene was noisy and chaotic, bustling with activity. Ye Feng glanced around and roughly estimated that among the people who had come to the Sky Burial Valley for treasure hunting, there were nearly two hundred in the Yin-Yang Realm, more than five hundred experts in the Golden Core Realm, and countless others below the Golden Core Realm and in the Sacred Realm Martial Artist realm.
Seeing this, Ye Feng couldn't help but sneer, "Unexpectedly, so many strong warriors have come this time. More than two hundred in the Yin-Yang Realm—where did all these people come from? Many were nowhere to be seen during the Great Wall of Heaven's defense battle!"
Xiao Rulong also sneered along, "Those in the Yin-Yang Realm have a very long lifespan. With so many years of accumulation, there are actually quite a few great powers in the Yin-Yang Realm in the Outer Battlefield, even more in the Golden Core Realm. It's just that most only care about their own cultivation and have long developed an indifferent character, to put it unpleasantly, they are rather self-centered!"
Chi Jark also huffed, "It's indeed disgraceful. They didn't come for the Great Wall of Heaven's defense battle, but now that the Sky Burial Valley is about to open, they all show up—outrageous!"
Ye Feng was already too lazy to criticize such people and shook his head, saying, "Right, where is our Xuanyuan Hall's team?"
"Over there!" Hua Baimei suddenly pointed towards the southeast direction.
It was the largest mountain top, where the Xuanyuan Hall's scattered teams settled on top of this peak.
Among them, the Second Hall Master and Bu Family Patriarch led more than a dozen close followers, and of course, these people were essentially from his Bu Family Ancient Clan.
Moreover, Hong Wuji, the Fourth Hall Master, was also leading about a dozen subordinates in the Golden Core Realm. In fact, each Hall Master usually cultivates some of their own trusted and advantageous subordinates and often brings them along when they go out.
However, the First Hall Master was not present. Ye Feng searched for a while but did not find any trace of the First Hall Master. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
"This guy didn't come? Doesn't he even care about the treasures in the Sky Burial Valley?" Ye Feng murmured in his heart.
By now, with his current cultivation realm, there were not many strong warriors whom Ye Feng still feared, and clearly, the First Hall Master was one of them.
Even deeper in his heart, Ye Feng always had the feeling that the First Hall Master was too mysterious or rather, odd, always elusive, as if he was intentionally concealing something or plotting something.
In fact, all this time, Ye Feng had been investigating the real identity of the First Hall Master, but the other party had not revealed any flaws or clues, so there was no way to find out.
"Let's go over there!" Ye Feng said and, with a wave of his hand, flew directly toward the highest peak over there.
No matter what, he was still a member of Xuanyuan Hall, and with so many powers mobilizing now, Ye Feng naturally chose to first join the Xuanyuan Hall's team.
Currently, the miasma above Sky Burial Valley had not completely dispersed, and everyone was unaware of the situation below. Thus, no one dared to rashly descend; everyone temporarily chose to wait on the mountain, awaiting the complete dissipation of the miasma before they would swarm down to hunt for treasures.
Before Ye Feng reached the peak, the Fourth Hall Master Hong Wuji suddenly turned his head. When he confirmed it was Ye Feng, his expression immediately darkened.
In fact, it wasn't just Hong Wuji—the Bu Family Patriarch and the elders of the Confucian and Buddhist Sects, and several other Hall Masters also looked displeased.
"Unexpectedly, Ye Feng, you little rascal, have also come. You even dare to show your face!" Hong Wuji was the first to step forward and meet him with a cold snort.
Ye Feng sneered, "There are rumors that treasures lurk within Sky Burial Valley, soon to be unveiled. Of course I'd come!"
"Hmph, I'm afraid you may have come here alive, but leaving alive might not be in the cards!" the Bu Family Patriarch intoned grimly.
The sages from the Confucian and Buddhist Sects likewise swooped in, and in an instant, the four Yin-Yang Realm Powerhouses from Xuanyuan Hall had Ye Feng completely surrounded.
At the same time, the remaining three great powers had also noticed the commotion over here. When they discerned that it was Ye Feng, every one of the formidable experts instantly showed angry expressions, and quite a few had already launched themselves toward Ye Feng's direction.
The Bu Family Patriarch fixed his gaze on Ye Feng, saying, "Young man, you indeed have quite the gall. I had thought you would forever hide within the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm, never venturing out. Yet today, you actually dare to come. I must say, I admire your courage!"
Ye Feng let out a chuckle, "Admiration is hardly necessary. To be frank, I don't hold in high regard the admiration from someone as selfish as you!"
"You..." The corner of the Bu Family Patriarch's eye twitched as he clenched his teeth and shouted, "What a sharp-tongued brat you are! You probably haven't realized how perilous your situation is here. Someone like you, without any support, owning the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm all to yourself – the other three powers will never rest easy."
Hong Wuji snorted coldly at this point, "Ye, do you see? Right now, surrounding us are plenty of powerhouses who can't wait to confront you for troubling them. You might be powerful, but can you withstand so many experts?"
Continuing, Hong Wuji bared his teeth, "Therefore, in this current situation, your only option is to join forces with us!"
"Join forces with you?" A mocking look spread across Ye Feng's face.
"Yes, cooperate with us. With the four of us great powers backing you, the other three great powers wouldn't dare touch you!" declared the Bu Family Patriarch.
The mocking look on Ye Feng's face thickened as he teased, "That does sound like a decent idea."
Hong Wuji bared his teeth again, "Ye Feng, you're a smart guy. You should know what to choose, else, today, it's unlikely you'll leave here alive."
It was at this moment that two powerful figures from the Yin-Yang Temple swooped in, sneering, "Ye Feng, though you share the same roots as Xuanyuan Nation's people with these old men, you know what's in their hearts better than we do. And according to our sources from Yin-Yang Temple, when you first arrived at Xuanyuan Hall, these hall masters even tried to suppress you, didn't they?"
"To ally with such people is akin to seeking skin from a tiger. Rather than that, how about joining hands with us at Yin-Yang Temple? Just agree to share the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm with us, and you can name your terms!"
"I can name my terms?" Ye Feng echoed.
"That's correct, you can make them right now," said the two Yin-Yang Divine Masters, barely suppressing their laughter.
It seemed that these two fellows were still unaware that both Divine Master Tanaka and Divine Master Zhen Ye had already been slain by Ye Feng.
Ye Feng just shrugged and said, "It seems to me that the two of you are blissfully unaware of a certain matter."
The two Yin-Yang Divine Masters looked bewildered and asked, "Unaware of what exactly?"
Ye Feng enunciated each word, "What I'd like to inform you is that your Divine Master Tanaka and Divine Master Zhen Ye from Yin-Yang Temple have been put to rest by me. Now tell me, are you sure you still want to collaborate with me?"
"What did you say? Divine Master Tanaka and Divine Master Zhen Ye were killed by you? That's impossible!"
The two Yin-Yang Divine Masters' eyes bulged, but they quickly regained their composure and sneered with bared teeth, "It's laughable, really. With your current level of cultivation, you couldn't possibly stand a chance against Divine Master Tanaka. If you really faced him, you'd be the one to die, as after all, Divine Master Tanaka is a Three Seal Rank Great Power!"
The two Yin-Yang Divine Masters said this and chuckled again, "Ye Feng, we have come with sincere intentions. Just agree to cooperate with Yin-Yang Temple, and such a treasure," they gestured, "we can hand it over to you right now!"
After saying this, one of the Yin-Yang Divine Masters rotated his wrist and revealed a delicately crafted Brocade Box in his palm. Opening the box, inside were unmistakably three Hun Yuan Green Lotus Seeds.
Ye Feng's eyes lit up when he saw this. Indeed, Yin-Yang Temple possessed Hun Yuan Lotus Seeds.
The Yin-Yang Divine Master laughed, revealing his teeth, "My name is Watanabe Tanino. I understand you've been searching for the whereabouts of Hun Yuan Lotus Seeds. It seems you are in need of these seeds. Of course, the value of these three Hun Yuan Lotus Seeds can't compare to the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm. This is just a sign of good will from our Yin-Yang Temple. Just nod your head, and they are yours."
Ye Feng couldn't help but laugh, baring his teeth, "You're right. These three Hun Yuan Green Lotus Seeds are indeed destined to be mine."
The two Yin-Yang Divine Masters laughed even more heartily, asking, "So, Lord Ye Feng, are you agreeing to cooperate with Yin-Yang Temple then?"
Yet, Ye Feng's expression turned stern as he retorted, "When did I ever say such a thing?"
"Didn't you just say that these three lotus seeds are already yours? Isn't that an indication of agreement to our cooperation?" the two Yin-Yang Divine Masters questioned.
Ye Feng curved his lips into a smirk and playfully said, "It seems you've misunderstood my meaning. Indeed, I do want these three lotus seeds, but that doesn't necessarily mean I have to cooperate with you. After all, I have other choices; for example, I could simply take them by force!"
Upon hearing this, the expressions on the two Yin-Yang Divine Masters' faces immediately darkened.
