Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 432: See You in Three Days!

Ye Feng glared at Great General Duantian and slowly raised his finger, word by word he said, "Twelve chests, not one less!"

Xiao Chuanqi stepped forward and shouted, "These twelve chests of supplies are treasures obtained by our lord from the Underworld Sect, each of incalculable value. They are intended for use by the Martial Academy and, by extension, the Xuanyuan Nation. Therefore, no one, no matter who, may touch them. Our lord has said, not one chest less, and so there must be not one chest less!"

In fact, Xiao Chuanqi and the others all knew that the Northern King had indeed sent only six chests with Leng Wuming. Now that not a single chest was missing and even the seals on them hadn't been broken, it indicated that the contents had not been tampered with.

However, now that Ye Feng mentioned twelve chests, Xiao Chuanqi and the others naturally assumed there were twelve chests. It was clear to everyone that the lord was not going to let the matter rest and that the Great General would have to suffer a great loss.

In addition, the lord had long made it clear that these supplies were specifically for the Martial Academy's use. The lord took not a stitch for himself, so everyone felt that even if it meant the Great General losing out heavily, it was not unacceptable. In fact, everyone felt that the lord's actions were right and immensely satisfying.

Great General Duantian stood there with many skilled trusted aides swiftly gathering behind him. The atmosphere immediately became tense again. Duantian glared for a long while before gritting his teeth and saying word by word, "Ye Feng, I know what you mean. I only have one thing to say, are you really intending to blow this up into a big issue?"

Ye Feng sneered and said, "I do not understand what the Great General means by this. I'm merely taking back what belongs to me today. Yet the Great General's Mansion has gone too far, embezzling the supplies meant for the Martial Academy without cause. For the Academy, for Xuanyuan Nation, and for all the common people, I shall not retreat one step!"

Because the incident had blown up so publicly, and it took place right at the entrance, the streets quickly filled with many people. Besides numerous higher-ups from the capital, there were also many commoners.

When these common folk heard Ye Feng's words, they all nodded in agreement, unreservedly praising that Northern King Ye Feng had done absolutely nothing wrong and that it was the Great General's Mansion that was being exceedingly overbearing and tyrannical.

"The Great General's Mansion, usually putting on airs and oppressing others, is one thing, but now they're acting so arrogantly and presumptuously, not only robbing the Northern King of his supplies but, I heard, also severely injuring people. And now they've even gone so far as to seizure half the supplies and refuse to return them. It's just too much!"

"Yes, the Great General is too wicked, an outright bad person. By contrast, Northern King Ye Feng is truly too good, always thinking of us first. He already announced no fees for the opening of the Martial Academy. It must be the Principal had seen the Academy without a source of income, so he went out of his way to raise funds.

Now that he finally got them, they've been unlawfully detained by the Great General's Mansion!"

"Support the Northern King, support the Principal!"

"Support the Northern King, unconditional support for the Northern King, support our Martial Academy Principal!"

For a moment there, the entire street was filled with the angry roars of the commoners, with the outcry growing louder and louder. If this continued, the Great General's Mansion might indeed incur the wrath of the populace.

Duantian, witnessing such a scene, turned green with discomfort, never anticipating that in the end, the other party would outmaneuver him in this way.

On the other hand, Ye Feng felt like manna from heaven had fallen upon him. He suddenly sensed that the Divine Path Heavenly Edict Scroll in his Sea of Consciousness began to emanate the Source of Luck. Although the quantity was not substantial, it wasn't negligible either. It seemed that his actions had gained the support of these people, earning him prestige and luck.

"It seems, in doing anything, one really must consider the perspective of the common people and seek benefits for them. Only then can my cultivation speed accelerate significantly!" Ye Feng mused silently to himself.

"Northern King, I shall say it one last time, do you truly not intend to let this go?" Great General clenched his fists tightly, nearly reaching the point of explosion.

Necessarily, Ye Feng couldn't be intimidated by him and responded, word by word, "I've said it, twelve chests. If the Great General's Mansion does not hand over the other six chests of treasures, I shall never let it rest!"

"Good, very good!" Great General Duantian suddenly laughed, his mouth widening in a grin, "A mere boy whose hair has yet to fully grow, and he dares to target me. I warn you, if you leave today, I can let bygones be bygones. Otherwise, I will not hesitate to start a war!"

Ye Feng suddenly stepped forward, and word by word announced, "I also tell you, if you do not hand over the other six chests of Treasure today, you want a war. I shall accompany you to the end!"

"Haha..." The Great General suddenly burst into loud laughter, his boisterous mirth reaching the Sky Horizon. He suddenly clenched his fists, ready to completely erupt.

Yet at that moment, Zhuge Wuming suddenly appeared out of nowhere, standing between the two men, and declared, "Both of you, calm down!"

With that, he waved his hand gently dissipating the aura of strength exuding from Great General Duantian.

The Great General Duantian bit his lip and demanded coldly, "Senior Zhuge, what are you doing? Are you intending to favor this boy?"

While speaking, the Great General kept looking left and right, probably to see if anyone else would appear. Normally, given the gravity of the situation, not only Zhuge Wuming, but also the old man from the Utility Pavilion, Tang Bai, would show up, and the rest of the Utility Pavilion's Sect Leaders would also come.

But it wasn't until now that Duantian realized the expected person hadn't arrived, and instead, Zhuge Wuming, who shouldn't have, made an unwanted appearance. At this moment, Duantian understood that Tang Bai, that damn old man, obviously intended to watch the drama unfold and had no plans to help.

As for the Sect Leaders of the Utility Pavilion, they were even more worried that they would be oppressed by someone with greater power in the Utility Pavilion in the future, so they certainly wished for my power to suffer a major setback at this moment, and therefore, they would not come forward to help under any circumstances.

Considering this, Duantian couldn't help but snort heavily, his anger growing even more intense.

Zhuge Wuming chuckled and said, "As one of the two elders of the Utility Pavilion, it is only natural that I would not be partial to anyone. I have always upheld the principle of fairness and justice for the country and the people."

"If that's the case, then all the better!" Duantian snorted loudly.

Zhuge Wuming continued, "I have fully understood the matters between you two. All in all, each side has its own reasons, and it's difficult for me to make a judgment. However, one thing is certain, with both of your identities being so significant, any rash action could potentially affect the entire nation, and might even give foreign powers an opportunity to exploit!"

Duantian snorted coldly, "Senior Zhuge speaks very true. If not for the sake of national interests, why would I, as a General, tolerate those young upstarts provoking me? I would have directly chopped them into pieces!"

Ye Feng also snorted coldly, "If not for the consideration of the nation's situation, last night your Great General's Mansion would have ceased to exist!"

"What did you say, you brat? How dare you!" Duantian exploded in rage.

The situation had developed to a point where anyone could see that the conflict between the two sides had become irreconcilable. In fact, long before this, everyone had seen the signs as Northern King Ye Feng's power grew increasingly strong and he continued to advance towards the imperial capital, which was causing the rift with the Great General to worsen step by step.

No one had expected, however, that this day would come so soon, and the catalyst for this conflict was Zhang Jiuming's move to seize the supplies escorted by Leng Wuming.

Zhuge Wuming knew he should not have appeared, as the stakes on both sides were high, and now that things had escalated to this point, even he would not be able to mediate. But he knew that if he did not step in, the imperial capital might very well fall into chaos today.

"Gentlemen, please calm down and hear what I have to say," Zhuge Wuming said, gesturing with his hand.

Duantian snorted coldly, "Senior Zhuge, this matter is completely fabricated by this youngster to slander and provoke the Great General's Mansion. No matter what, as a General, I cannot swallow this insult today!"

Zhuge Wuming nodded and said, "Both of you are people of status. Having the situation escalate like this would be bad enough if it just stayed within the nation. If it were to be known by other countries, wouldn't it be a laughing stock?"

At this point, Duantian finally fell silent.

Ye Feng thought about it and realized that the other side was right. He then snorted, "Senior Zhuge is correct. For the sake of the nation's overall situation and the welfare of the people, I can take a step back."

Saying this, Duantian thought the other party was afraid and decided to back down, but the next moment, Ye Feng snorted coldly, "In three days, at the Heavenly Movement Mountain Range, I will be waiting there for the Great General to arrive!"

"Of course, to prevent loss of life and to not affect the nation's situation, we will each bring only five people. At that time, I will bring only five people!"

Duantian was stunned for a moment before he understood. The Northern King was planning to have a final showdown with him, a duel of Peak Power. He nodded immediately and said, "Very well, five of Peak Power, sparing ordinary soldiers from bleeding on the battlefield. I accept the challenge. Three days from now, at the Heavenly Movement Mountain Range, I will be there until the end!"

"At that time, it will be either your death or mine. Listen well, Ye Feng; if I, the Great General, walk down from the Heavenly Movement Mountain alive, then you will have to resign from your position as Northern King and step down as the Principal. Of course, if I do not live to come down that day, the treasury of the Great General's Mansion will belong to you, the Northern King."

Ye Feng laughed loudly and said, "In three days, on the Heavenly Movement Mountain Range, I will be waiting for you!" Having said this, Ye Feng waved his hand grandly and led his trusted aides away.

Zhuge Wuming watched them go and ultimately could only shake his head and sigh, then disappeared into thin air, evidently this was the best of the bad solutions available. After all, the conflict between the two had become irreconcilable, and choosing to settle it with their respective Peak Power would minimize the casualty of innocent people as much as possible.

Of course, now there was no way but for, after three days, one party would be able to come down from the Heavenly Movement Mountain Range alive.

The news of the agreed duel on the Heavenly Movement Mountain Range spread fast, instantly stirring up a frenzy in the imperial capital. When the high echelons of the imperial capital heard it, they all shook their heads and sighed, "The day has finally come, but which one of them will emerge victorious in the end?"

Of course, compared to before when people had little faith in Ye Feng, now almost no one dared to underestimate him. After all, Ye Feng had fully matured and established his foundation, and even the Utility Pavilion dared not take him lightly anymore. However, the Great General has also lived more than half a lifetime and has a considerable depth of power.

So, who will be able to walk down from the Heavenly Movement Mountain Range in the end is still an uncertain outcome!
