Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 435: Alien Space-Time, The Tide of Beasts Attacks!
Just as three members of the Hong Family of the Ancient Clan were leaving the Great General's Mansion, far in a distant region, atop the Great Wall of Heaven, a little old man with a big smoking pipe tapped his pipe and suddenly burst out cursing, "Hong Family of the Ancient Clan, it seems they really intend to tear up the old alliance, shameless, aren't they?"
Around here, as far as the eye could see, was a boundless expanse. The sun was nowhere to be seen, and neither were the stars nor the moon. It had always been like this here, with no distinction between day and night, and even the air seemed to be still.
Long Nannan, wearing her hair in a ponytail, had fully grown compared to before. Although her face was still round and cute, her figure had fully developed, turning into a graceful young lady.
Long Nannan did not look into the distance, because there was nothing worth seeing. Having looked at it all year round, people would have grown tired of the view. She was looking down at her shoes, or more precisely, at the pattern on her shoes.
She had bought these shoes at a mall with her Little Martial Uncle Ye Feng half a year ago when she was still in the imperial capital, so she cared for them greatly.
The feeling was as if every time she looked at these shoes, she could see her Little Martial Uncle, so much so that Sausage Sister had teased her several times, asking, "You've been wearing these shoes for half a year without a change. Aren't you afraid of getting smelly feet?"
But Long Nannan did not care, completely ignoring Sausage Sister. Whenever this happened, Sausage Sister would shake her head helplessly, her thoughts drifting to that man in the imperial capital who was as sturdy as Iron Bull, wondering how he was doing now.
"Grandpa, are you saying that the Hong Family of the Ancient Clan no longer intends to follow the old covenant and is getting ready to be active in the Mortal World?" Long Nannan suddenly asked.
"Yes, and what Grandpa can tell you is that the real reason why the Hong Family of the Ancient Clan has stepped forward is your Little Martial Uncle!" Old Long chuckled.
"It's about Little Martial Uncle again. This damned Hong Family, are they planning to cling to Little Martial Uncle and not let go? It's absolutely infuriating!" Long Nannan huffed angrily.
Little Old Long chuckled and said, "Of course, you can't blame the Hong Family of the Ancient Clan. After all, your Little Martial Uncle beat up one of their young members. The Hong Family has always prided themselves on being noble. Having a disciple defeated and then fleeing in disarray, they certainly cannot swallow this disgrace."
"Hmph, what a bunch of Ancient Clan's crap from the Hong Family, acting as if they're so noble when they're nothing but glorified servants. Now they can't even properly watch over their own household, utterly preposterous!" Long Nannan fumed indignantly.
Little Old Long nodded in agreement, and then turning to his granddaughter, he asked, "What's the matter, girl? After telling you all this, don't you worry about your Little Martial Uncle? Won't you go back to see him and help him out?"
Long Nannan was taken aback, hardly able to believe her eyes. When she had first arrived half a year ago, she kept clamoring to go back, but Grandpa flatly refused, even going so far as to lay down the law.
Yet now, the little old man with the big smoking pipe was actually allowing her to go back. Long Nannan could hardly believe it.
"What's the matter, you look like you don't want to go back for a look? Well, if you don't want to, then so be it," Old Long chuckled.
"No, Grandpa, who said I don't want to go back? I'm just..." Long Nannan hastily said.
"Just what?" Old Long asked.
By now, Long Nannan had calmed down from her initial shock and pondered for a moment before asking, "Grandpa, does it mean I no longer need to stay here? The situation at the Great Wall is becoming tenser, and the creatures from the Alien Space-Time are becoming increasingly vicious. If I leave now, won't the situation get even tenser?"
Old Long waved his hand and said, "Oh, come on. With your Cultivation Level, having one more or one less of you doesn't make a difference. This time, not only do I want you to go back, but your Sausage Sister should go with you."
"Sausage Sister is going back with me?" Long Nannan's eyes widened.
"Yes, the two of you will go back together. Additionally, have Chuwu join you. With the Four Great Ancient Clans stirring, you must return," Old Long remarked with a sigh.
"But Grandpa, if all three of us go back, won't there be even fewer hands here? Then, I'm afraid..."
"Don't worry about it. As long as I'm here, I can hold them off for a while. At the very least, for the next few years, those creatures from the Alien Space-Time won't be able to cross the boundary," Old Long said, then suddenly let out a long sigh, "Three years, it will be probably three years at most before we reach our limit."
Long Nannan asked, "Does that mean in three years' time, the Great Wall of Heaven will completely fail to hold back the invasion?"
Old Long did not answer her question, obviously not wanting to, and his expression suddenly became grave, "Granddaughter, listen carefully. The Four Great Ancient Clans are making their moves, and it's very likely that those old monsters behind them will finally take action. I'm sending you three back not for a leisurely trip; you have a mission."
Seeing her grandfather's serious demeanor, Long Nannan nodded earnestly and said, "Tell me, Grandpa."
Old Long said, "This time, you must protect Ye Feng well. There must not be any mishaps with him, otherwise, the entire Xuanyuan Nation will fall into great chaos."
Feeling puzzled, Long Nannan asked, "Grandpa, isn't Little Martial Uncle just an ordinary person? Is he really that important?"
Old Long suddenly laughed heartily, waving his hand and saying, "Go on, go see your Little Martial Uncle. If you don't return now, they'll probably forget about this little miss you."
"Grandpa, I'm not a little miss anymore, I've grown up!" Long Nannan glared at her grandfather in annoyance, then promptly stood up and patted her buttocks, saying, "Don't worry, Grandpa. I'll protect Little Martial Uncle's safety. I'm off to find Sausage Sister first."
"Haha, finally I can go back. Little Martial Uncle, wait for me, I'm coming back!" As she spoke, Long Nannan's figure darted up, and in an instant, she soared into the sky and quickly disappeared from sight.
Old Long was still seated there, puffing away at his pipe. Suddenly, he murmured to himself, "Sigh, I hope, this old man hasn't misjudged. Ye Feng, will you be the one to lead the charge?"
At that moment, a dirty figure flew through the air, suddenly appearing beside Old Long. This person was dressed like an old beggar, worn and filthy, with a wine bottle in hand, drinking non-stop, exuding the smell of alcohol.
This old beggar was no other than the mighty figure who had saved Ye Feng at the pinnacle of the Forbidden City. Of course, he was also Sausage Sister's grandfather, Long Nannan's god-grandfather, and Old Long's sworn brother.
"I'm telling you, can you drink less? Always drunk like this, if you're not careful, those monsters from the other side might swallow you whole and you wouldn't even know it," Old Long said with disdain.
The old beggar rolled his eyes and replied, "You, a tobacco fiend, have the nerve to talk about me? Always with a big smoking pipe in hand, if you keep on smoking like this, I'm afraid in three years even the monsters from the alternate space-time wouldn't want to eat an old man like you."
Suddenly changing the subject, Old Long asked, "So, how did it go this time? Did you see Ye Feng? What do you think?"
The old beggar nodded and said, "I've never doubted your judgment. That kid Ye Feng is indeed impressive. In some areas, I couldn't see through him at all."
"Even you couldn't see through him?" Old Long was a bit surprised. Truth be told, it had been several years since he last met Ye Feng, and now he did not know the specifics of the other's situation.
"Yes, I couldn't. I tried to use my spiritual power to probe his internal condition, but before I could enter, I was counterattacked and my spiritual power was reflected back. This kid…" said the old beggar, pausing to chuckle and shake his head.
"To have your spiritual power reflected back, that's impossible. At most, he now only has eight hundred acupoints cultivated, and that speed is already quite terrifying," Old Long exclaimed in astonishment.
"No, you are wrong. He has now cultivated over a thousand acupoints, and that was a few days ago. I believe by now he must have over twelve hundred. Ye Feng's talent for cultivation seems far beyond your expectations," the old beggar stated.
Old Long nodded slightly, continuing, "It seems, indeed, beyond my expectations. Having already opened up a thousand acupoints—well, in that case, there is no need for me to send Nannan and the others back. It's completely unnecessary."
The old beggar rolled his eyes, then went on drinking fervently. The two old men, one addicted to smoking and the other to drinking, sat on the Great Wall of Heaven without speaking.
Suddenly, a thunderous roar erupted from the distant sky horizon, as if an earth-shattering beast's roar had sounded. The two old men's expressions changed dramatically, saying, "Not good, a monster tide is coming. What's going on, wasn't it just the beginning of the month? How could there be a monster tide attacking?"
"Lately, it's no longer possible to follow the old patterns, and these monsters are growing more irritable by the day. Something must have happened in the alien space-time for them to attack us with such urgency. Let's go without further ado—activate the highest protocol of the Great Wall Grand Formation!"
With that, Old Long's figure leaped into the sky and, in the blink of an eye, he reached the clouds above, where there was a formation nexus resembling a pentagram.
Meanwhile, after a day and night of secluded cultivation, Ye Feng emerged from the secret chamber in his study because he had completely absorbed the Source of Luck, and his acupoints had been successfully opened to twelve hundred. But after reaching this point, without the Source of Luck as an aid, his progress had slowed down, so he decided to leave his seclusion.
After all, tomorrow was the agreed day for the do-or-die battle in the Heavenly Movement Mountain Range.
What Ye Feng had utterly not anticipated was that early in the morning, the Northern Cloud Residence received two unexpected visitors, two women, both with statuesque and voluptuous figures, stunningly beautiful. The one on the left was especially so, with an innocent, doll-like face adorned with lively big eyes.
These two were naturally Long Nannan and Sausage Sister, and behind them stood a large, burly man, towering and formidable like an iron tower - this was Chuwu.
