Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 521 - 516: You’re Getting a Bargain, Kid
At this moment, Ye Feng had already reached Gai Jiutian, with his spear aimed at his neck.
"Over?" Gai Jiutian snorted coldly, "As long as I don't die, this battle is not over!"

"So obstinate!"
Ye Feng exerted a little force, knocking Gai Jiutian unconscious, while also sealing his Spirit Essence Meridian.
Looking at Gai Jiutian collapsed in front of him, Ye Feng recalled the life-and-death experiences they had shared in the past.
Ye Feng crouched down to check Gai Jiutian's meridian. To his surprise and alarm, he found it extremely chaotic.
"What's going on? His meridian is so disordered; could this be the result of deviation?"
Ye Feng thought to himself.
No matter what, Ye Feng was determined to restore Gai Jiutian to his former self. It was normal for Gai Jiutian, who was experiencing deviation, not to recognize Ye Feng.
With Gai Jiutian's chaotic meridian and his Spirit Essence still in a state of rampage, Ye Feng had to calm the berserk Spirit Essence. If left unchecked, it could damage Gai Jiutian's foundation.
Ye Feng took out the Hun Yuan Green Lotus from Gai Jiutian's pocket and plucked a lotus seed.
"You're getting a real bargain here, kid. Hopefully, this thing can save you!"
After speaking, Ye Feng lightly waved his hand and fed the small lotus seed to Gai Jiutian.
Meanwhile, Xiao Chuanqi and his companions hadn't gone far. Hearing no more sounds of battle, they hurriedly returned.
"My Lord, My Lord!"
Seeing Ye Feng squatting on the ground, the three rushed over to make sure he was unharmed.
"My Lord, are you alright? What happened to the captain? My Lord, did you..."
The more Xiao Chuanqi thought about it, the more frightened he became. Ye Feng wouldn't have killed Gai Jiutian, would he? That was once his brother; to kill him just like that...
Ye Feng looked at Xiao Chuanqi, "Don't make such a fuss. I couldn't bring myself to kill him; he's just been knocked out by me. I've also sealed his Spirit Essence Meridian. Right now, he's like any ordinary person. You've come just in time; get this kid out of here!"
Upon hearing that Ye Feng had only knocked Gai Jiutian unconscious, Xiao Chuanqi and his companions breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing Gai Jiutian's bloodied face, they had indeed believed that Ye Feng had killed him.
"This kid really doesn't make things easy. At the very last moment, he still wanted to become a Fallen Demon. It's a good thing I restrained him in time, or else the consequences would have been unthinkable!"
Ye Feng managed to restrain Gai Jiutian at the last moment; otherwise, he wouldn't have had a surefire way to subdue him.
Luckily, he succeeded in the end.
Hearing Ye Feng's words, Xiao Chuanqi and the others were shocked by Gai Jiutian's behavior.
"My Lord, what happened to the captain? Why couldn't he recognize us?"
Xiao Chuanqi had been puzzled by this. Gai Jiutian's gaze felt foreign, yet his appearance and voice were that of their former brother.
"Good question. The kid must have deviated while practicing some cultivation technique, not recognizing us is normal. I just hope that by ingesting the Hun Yuan Green Lotus he can recover!"
Ye Feng didn't know if the Hun Yuan Green Lotus would be useful for someone who had deviated, but, like treating a dead horse as if it were alive, he knew as long as Gai Jiutian was alive, there would always be a way.
"Daylight is approaching; this place is not safe. We need to leave quickly!"
All the forces had departed half an hour ago, but no one would expect them not to return, so they had to leave quickly.
Without lingering, Ye Feng and his group left in one direction.
It was still early morning when Ye Feng called for the team to stop and rest.
Gai Jiutian also woke up at this moment.
As he regained consciousness, the pain from before had disappeared, and he had returned to his original appearance. Looking around at the unfamiliar surroundings, he was confused.
"My Lord, My Lord!" Seeing Gai Jiutian awaken, Xiao Chuanqi excitedly called for Ye Feng, "The captain is awake, My Lord!"
Then, Gai Jiutian, nursing his aching head, looked at the people surrounding him in bewilderment.
"Do you still remember me?" Ye Feng approached and asked.
After taking the Hun Yuan Green Lotus, Gai Jiutian's disordered meridian had recovered. Indeed, the Hun Yuan Green Lotus was a rare treasure.
Gai Jiutian's injuries had fully healed overnight, and he was bursting with vitality, except for the absence of Spirit Essence fluctuations in his body.
This was because Ye Feng sealed his Spirit Essence Meridian, fearing that Gai Jiutian might go mad again upon waking up.
Gai Jiutian looked at Ye Feng, his gaze and expression changing, "My, My Lord! How come you're here?"
"Hahaha, My Lord, the captain recognizes you now, he remembers!"
Seeing that Gai Jiutian recognized Ye Feng, Xiao Chuanqi was overjoyed. After all, Gai Jiutian's memory had returned.
The long-lost Gai Jiutian had finally reunited with them today.
Ye Feng looked at him, patting his shoulder and said with slight annoyance, "If I hadn't come here, you would have become a Fallen Demon last night. It's been years and you've really grown bolder; you've gained the treasure that I struggled so hard for, you lucky kid!"
Though Ye Feng spoke this way, he was actually delighted inside—Gai Jiutian being safe was all that mattered.
"Fallen Demon?" Gai Jiutian knew nothing of what had happened. He only remembered cultivating and then losing consciousness. When he woke up, he saw Ye Feng.
"You almost met your end at my hands last night," Ye Feng continued, still looking annoyed.
Ye Feng wasn't just saying this. If Gai Jiutian had succeeded in becoming a Fallen Demon, Ye Feng wouldn't have stood a chance. Fortunately, he subdued the kid in the end.
"Tell me, how did you end up here?"
Ye Feng inquired.
"Yes, My Lord!" Gai Jiutian straightened up, adopting a military posture, "Reporting, My Lord, I came here by a stroke of luck. After entering, I found this place rich in Spirit Essence and teeming with monsters, making it excellent for training, so I decided to stay to stabilize my cultivation level. Later, I lost consciousness during my practice and woke up to find you here!"
Ye Feng, having listened to the story, knew that this youngster had suffered from cultivation deviation during his martial arts practice, which is when cultivators go berserk and forget what they previously knew of themselves.
Even he himself was not of ordinary conduct, and now this youngster must be quite notorious in the eyes of those mercenary leaders in the Outer Battlefield.
Xu Shen, upon seeing him, would show a look of panic.
"Alright, I know everything now. You better not act recklessly again in the future!"
Ye Feng cautioned him.
"Yes, my lord!"
"Rest up. We're leaving this place!"
Ye Feng commanded the team.
Now, the Sect Members truly had no second thoughts, Ye Feng's strength instilled fear in them.
They had witnessed Gai Jiutian's demeanor the night before, where even the combined forces of three powers could not subdue Gai Jiutian, yet Ye Feng managed to overpower him single-handedly.
Who would dare to provoke him now? How many lives do you have to spare in challenging Ye Feng?
The Sect Members were now utterly respectful and fearful of Ye Feng, not daring to go west if he asked them to go east, and would do whatever he instructed without a word of complaint.
Sticking close to Ye Feng, the powerful ally, was of utmost importance; no one else could compare.
They had almost lost their lives due to Li Benzhong's schemes before.
Ye Feng and his group set out on their journey.
Meanwhile, Xu Shen's team hadn't left the Outer Battlefield after their retreat the night before but instead sought refuge in a safe location.
Now they had come to the location of last night's battle, which was a complete mess within the vicinity.
There were still many bloodstains on the sand and soil.
Xu Shen looked around for a while and did not find any bodies.
"Someone! Survey the area within several miles thoroughly. That lunatic must have turned this place into a purgatory last night; I suppose Ye Feng and the others must have perished!"
Xu Shen had seen Gai Jiutian's strength, and since he was the first to retreat last night, he had no knowledge of what had happened afterwards.
But he believed everyone had perished.
He had his subordinates search the area for several miles, round after round, but they didn't find a single body.
"Boss, we haven't found any bodies."
This was strange, not finding any bodies.
After pondering for a moment, Xu Shen reasoned to himself that the bodies must have been taken away by monsters.
"Just a pity for the Hun Yuan Green Lotus, such a treasure. Anyway, back to camp!"
Xu Shen sighed and led his team back to the camp.
No sooner had they left than the Blood Clan, along with three Onmyoji from Fusang and a group of people from Snow Wolf Country, also arrived.
They sent people to look for bodies and received the same result as Xu Shen: not a single body to be seen.
"Could it be that monsters dragged them away?"
Not finding a single body left only this possibility.
"Such a prominent Northern Border King to perish like this, I don't believe it!" The Blood Clan naturally did not believe that Ye Feng had perished; they had clashed with Ye Feng several times, with Ye Feng always gaining the upper hand against them.
If Ye Feng had perished, the Blood Clan would not believe it no matter what.
"Issue my command, find Ye Feng. The Hun Yuan Green Lotus must be in his hands!"
Similarly, others didn't believe that Ye Feng had perished, all ordering their followers to find Ye Feng.
What kind of treasure the Hun Yuan Green Lotus was, they knew all too well that they must find Ye Feng.
At this moment, on Ye Feng's side, after traveling half a day's journey, the endless expanse of wilderness stretched before them as far as the eye could see.
Suddenly, the large party came to a stop.
Clear as day, they could make out a human outline a hundred meters ahead, standing motionless.
"My lord, let us go up ahead and see!"
Xiao Chuanqi volunteered to check who was ahead.
Ye Feng glanced over: "Do not act rashly; this person harbors ill intentions. Be cautious!"
"Ye Feng!" The person in front suddenly called out. "Don't you recognize me?"
Ye Feng barely moved but observed the figure ahead carefully, recognizing who it was.
It was Mu Tian.
Mu Tian slowly walked towards Ye Feng.
"Why is he here?" Ye Feng murmured to himself before advancing to meet him.
"Ye Feng, we meet again!" Mu Tian arrived in front of Ye Feng and said indifferently.
"Indeed!" Ye Feng nodded slightly. "I wonder what brings Young Lord Mu to seek me?"
Ye Feng could clearly sense that Mu Tian's intentions were not simple, and aware of Mu Tian's unfathomable strength, he did not dare to act rashly, only probing.
"Nothing much, just to have a little spar with you!" Mu Tian said with a smile that wasn't quite a smile. "I've heard you're the strongest among the younger generation!"
A spar?
