Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 336 Having You is Enough

Zhang Wenyuan stood up at this time because he was about to assume the position of the new King of the Southern Territory. Although the official appointment had not yet been announced, the news had essentially spread among the upper echelons of the imperial capital, and it was a done deal.

The Tianluo Kingdom is located at the southwest end of the Xuanyuan Nation and is, in a sense, within the jurisdiction of the King of the Southern Territory. Therefore, Zhang Wenyuan's interjection at this time was undoubtedly a declaration of his stance.

However, this was the Northern Cloud Residence, the home of the Northern Border King. Given Ye Feng's temperament, it was natural that he would not allow others to dictate in his own home, not even the King of the Southern Territory.

So, as soon as Zhang Wenyuan stood up, his command had already been issued; Xiao Chuanqi, Leng Wuming, and Sima Zhantian, who had been waiting, immediately pounced.

Although at this moment, the three chief legion commanders under Ye Feng were still at the peak of Martial King Realm, their combat power should not be underestimated by the standards of an ordinary Martial King.

The spacious hall suddenly shimmered with golden light as a vast flow of Sword Qi, resembling a mighty river, instantly filled the entire hall. This was Xiao Chuanqi's doing; he was inherently adept at the way of the sword, and his constitution was particularly unique, being a very powerful innate Sword Body.

Although this innate Sword Body had not yet truly reached the Divine Path Realm to consolidate its own Divine Path Object, it was nonetheless capable of contending with Divine Path Realm powerhouses.

Suddenly, with a soft 'pfft,' the head of a Tianluo Kingdom Divine Path Realm powerhouse closest to him rolled off, and his body thunderously fell to the ground. The speed of the Sword Qi was so fast that the opponent did not even have a chance to deploy his Divine Path Object.

At the same time, a flash of green blade light appeared in the hall!

This blade light, unlike the previously ethereal Sword Qi, was thick and heavy, akin to a mountain, teeming with killing intent that inspired dread. Almost simultaneously, as the head of the first Divine Path Realm powerhouse rolled off, another Tianluo Kingdom Divine Path Realm warrior was cleaved into two halves by a single slash.

At this point, Leng Wuming had also swept into the center of the hall, wielding a Vajra Pestle. The sound of the wind howled within the hall as the Vajra Pestle cast shadows, enveloping his opponent.

Suddenly a heavy blow struck down, and the Tianluo Kingdom Divine Path Realm powerhouse was instantly reduced to mincemeat.

In just a brief confrontation, three Tianluo Kingdom Divine Path Realm powerhouses were killed, and the entire hall plunged into a deathly silence. Not only were the remaining three Tianluo Kingdom Divine Path Realm powerhouses petrified, but the high-ranking officials of the imperial capital were also deeply shocked.

Even the heads of the Utility Pavilion, including Grand Sect Leader Zhao Gongming, were staring wide-eyed, their faces showing signs of astonishment.

All along, people in the imperial capital only knew of the Northern Border King Ye Feng's strength and dominance, but they knew very little about his generals. After all, these officials considered the Northern King's attendants as merely Martial King Realm powerhouses, hardly significant.

But now they realized they were wrong, terribly wrong. From their performance just now, it was clear that although the three were still at the peak of Martial King Realm, the combat power they displayed was enough to dominate the first layer of Divine Path Realm, Enlightenment Realm, and even match the second layer, the God Gathering Realm.

What they didn't know was that the truly formidable one under Ye Feng's command wasn't any of those three, but Gai Jiuyou, the former Chief Legion Commander, who also held immense prestige in the Northern Border.

Now, however, Gai Jiuyou had deviated, often losing his sanity, and even Ye Feng didn't know where he was.

Of course, during this time, Ye Feng had not stopped searching for Gai Jiuyou. He had been dispatching secret agents to the Snow Country in the north in search of him. However, according to the intelligence reports coming back, Gai Jiuyou had left Snow Country after causing a great commotion and was no longer there.

Returning to the present, seeing the three Divine Path Realm powerhouses slain in an instant, Zhang Wenyuan was also shocked. However, after a brief pause, he collected himself, thinking that irrespective of anything else, he must make his move today to establish the prestige of his soon-to-be-held position as the King of the Southern Territory.

He wished to strike first and gain the upper hand. He had not yet reached the Southern Territory, but if he could kill three God Realm powerhouses from Tianluo Kingdom today, the news would undoubtedly spread to the Southern Territory. By the time he assumed his post, it would undoubtedly be much easier.

But just at this moment, Ye Feng turned his head towards him and said, "Brother Zhang, since you are so restless, please do me the favor and deal with these few broken pieces."

When Zhang Wenyuan heard this, despite having already lifted his foot, he found himself unable to take a step forward, as Ye Feng's words had undoubtedly outmaneuvered him.

Seeing this, Grand Sect Leader Zhao Gongming couldn't help but sigh silently, thinking that in terms of cunning and strategy, his precious disciple was still a notch below Ye Feng. With that in mind, he couldn't help but speak up, "Today is a day of celebration for Northern Cloud Residence, so let's spare the lives of these remaining three and have them roll out of here."

Since the Grand Sect Leader had spoken, naturally no one would act again. In fact, everyone could see that the Grand Sect Leader was intervening to protect his disciple.

Ye Feng, having already said those words, knew that if Zhang Wenyuan struck again, it would no longer serve to establish his authority. Not only would it fail to establish his authority, but it would also appear to pander to Ye Feng and create deeper enmity with Tianluo Kingdom, making it all the more disadvantageous for Zhang Wenyuan to assume the role as the King of the Southern Territory.

The higher-ups of the Imperial Capital, along with the Aristocratic Clan Gates, watched everything clearly. Utility Pavilion was supporting Zhang Wenyuan's ascent as the King of the Southern Territory to form a stance of equal opposition to Northern King Ye Feng. It was inevitable that one of these two men would eventually take charge of the Utility Pavilion.

Therefore, everyone was keeping a vigilant eye out to avoid aligning with the wrong side in the future.

To Ye Feng, Tianluo Kingdom was merely a minor episode. Had the other party not provoked his territory, he wouldn't have bothered with them.

Thus, after cleaning up the main hall, the mentorship ceremony continued without further interruption, except that Ning Weiwei had already followed Ye Feng's instruction to have Yu Feiyu of the Valley of the Medicine God take the girl to the backyard for treatment.

Overall, although the mentorship ceremony had its turmoil, it happily ended amidst laughter. From this point on, Hong Qingyan became the disciple of the Old Northern King, Ning Wuya, and Shi Yehong immediately declared his intention to impart all his life's knowledge to his new disciple, Hong Qingyan.

After the ceremony concluded, Ye Feng finally felt a weight lifted off his shoulders. With the protection of the Second Sect Leader Shi Yehong, Ye Feng wouldn't have to worry too much about Hong Qingyan's safety, even if he himself wasn't in the Imperial Capital.

The banquet lasted until late into the night, dispersing only after the Sect Leaders of Utility Pavilion and the high-ranking members of the Three Offices had already left early. It was Zhang Wenyuan who intentionally stayed behind.

Ye Feng knew he had something to say, and only after most of the guests had left did Zhang Wenyuan slowly approach.

Zhang Wenyuan, who had been idly playing with the little girl Long Nannan had brought over, stood up and earnestly said upon seeing Ye Feng approaching, "About the matter with the Zhang Family, do you still hold a grudge against me?"

Ye Feng didn't respond to that question, but instead countered, "Judging from the tone of your voice, it seems that you're still harboring some resentment for my stopping you from acting against those three from Tianluo Kingdom earlier?"

Zhang Wenyuan couldn't help but laugh, saying, "You know me, I'm not someone who is so petty."

Ye Feng also smiled and said, "You should also know that I'm not someone who is so petty."

After their exchange, both looked at each other and shared a knowing smile. Even though neither had explicitly stated their thoughts, as clever as they were, both had already understood what the other was trying to convey.

Just as they had said, neither were petty people, and with no real life-or-death grudges, why cling to the past? A true king's vision should not be restricted by what's in front of them but should encompass the entire world!

"You specifically stayed behind, and I'm assuming it wasn't just to discuss this issue with me?" Ye Feng then asked. Explore stories on novelbuddy

"Of course not." Zhang Wenyuan shook his head, then said, "The appointment letter will arrive tomorrow, and I will head to the Southern Territory. I know you have been to the Southern Territory before and have some acquaintances with the former Southern King Dugu Ming."

"What would you like me to do?" Ye Feng asked.

Zhang Wenyuan's expression suddenly turned serious. "You know what Dugu Ming is like. Do you think he can outmaneuver me?"

Ye Feng, with a cold voice, replied, "No."

Zhang Wenyuan suddenly laughed, a confident laughter.

Ye Feng then added, "Just as you said, I understand Dugu Ming. I know he's currently disinterested in power. Rest assured, he will step down peacefully."

Zhang Wenyuan nodded and said, "Actually, I just wanted to tell you in advance, in case he's not willing to give in, I hope you can talk to him. If he still refuses to let go, then I..."

"Don't worry, if he doesn't want to step down, I'll talk to him. Of course, my words may not be effective, but when the time comes, you can just handle it as official business," Ye Feng said.

"Good, with your word, I feel reassured," Zhang Wenyuan responded, then suddenly added, "By the way, there's still some time before the World Martial Arts Tournament begins. Are you interested in a trip to the Southern Territory with me?"

Ye Feng, somewhat surprised, asked, "You're not planning to attend the World Martial Arts Tournament?"

Zhang Wenyuan chuckled. "Not going. With you there, that's enough!"
