Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 439 - The Overbearing Hong Family of the Four Great Ancient Clans

The night was pitch-black, and the Emperor's Capital was already howling with cold winter winds. The streets had emptied of people. Ye Feng said no more; after stepping out of the study, he went straight into the carriage. This time, he only brought five people with him: Hong Qingyan, Long Nannan, Sausage Sister, Chuwu, and himself, making a total of five.

This time, even Sima Zhantian and Xiao Chuanqi were not brought along, though both were also very powerful. Compared to Chuwu, there was still a certain gap, so for the sake of safety, Ye Feng ultimately decided to bring Chuwan along.

The Heavenly Movement Mountain Range lay to the west of the Emperor's Capital. In fact, everyone believed that the mountain range backing the capital was exactly the Heavenly Movement Mountain Range. People said a dragon came from the west, and this dragon vein was the Heavenly Movement Mountain Range, which was not far from the capital, about one and a half hours' distance.

What was unexpected to everyone was that upon reaching the foot of the mountain, a heavy snow began to fall suddenly. Moreover, as it was already night, the area was virtually deserted without a soul in sight, very desolate indeed.

After the carriage reached the foot of the mountain, it could no longer move forward. Ye Feng opened the door and got out, immediately noticing that there were five powerful auras in the valley ahead. Under his spiritual power perception, they were like five beams of light shooting into the sky, especially eye-catching even in the dark night. Clearly, these five auras probably belonged to the people from the Great General's Mansion.

Duan Tian was indeed a man of status, so he also stuck to the agreement by bringing only five people. Neither side utilized more strength because, at this moment, every power in the Emperor's Capital, including the two elderly men from the Utility Pavilion, was paying attention to the movements here.

Additionally, everyone among the capital's top echelons understood that the battle in the Heavenly Movement Mountains was directly related to the future direction of the Xuanyuan Nation. Whether one side won or lost, there was a great chance they would enter the Utility Pavilion in the future, even possibly take control of it. Thus, it wasn't an overstatement to say that the entire Xuanyuan Nation was watching.

"They're up there. Let's go, we'll fly up!" Ye Feng moved lightly, and his figure soared into the sky, with Hong Qingyan quickly following him. Long Nannan also took flight.

Suddenly, Sausage Sister said, "Chuwu, I know what you're thinking, and I can understand it. But this time, it's a special task from our master, and I hope you can put aside your personal grievances for now and fully support Ye Feng."

Chuwu suddenly replied impatiently, "I know. Although I don't like this Ye guy, I'll still strictly follow master's orders." After speaking, with a sweep of his figure, he shot up into the sky.

At this moment, in a valley on the other side of the mountain, this valley wasn't low but was situated in a slightly lower area between two mountain peaks creating an open terrain. The place was almost uninhabited, with tall trees all around.

"Little Martial Uncle, do you think that Ye fellow would dare to come tonight?" Hong Tiandu stood atop a giant boulder with his hands behind his back; his triangular eyes surprisingly emitted a strange glow in the night.

An elder replied, "He will come, as he has no choice but to do so."

Duan Tian was leaning against another rock, with an old man beside him who was apparently not from the Hong Family of the Ancient Clan.

However, the old man with white hair and beard was just as strong, evidently a Powerhouse of the Sacred Realm, and moreover, a high-level one at that. It had to be said that Duan Tian, the old fellow, had hidden his strength quite deeply.

Nowadays, the two elders of the Utility Pavilion, Tang Bai and Zhuge Wuming, were also only at the high-level Saint Realm, and yet Duan Tian had two Saint Realm powerhouses on his side. Their collective power could almost rival that of the two elders at the Utility Pavilion.

Originally, Duan Tian had planned to reveal his trump card in the upcoming major restructuring next year, to seize the Utility Pavilion all at once, even to control it entirely. But as the saying goes, man proposes, God disposes. He had to reveal his hand today instead.

However, this was about time. After killing Ye Feng today, Duan Tian planned to take over the Imperial Martial Academy immediately and also to fully seize control of the Northern Border. With that, plus the authority of his position as Great General, entering the Utility Pavilion next year, he would still become the third elder, or even surpass the other two.

"Young Master Hong, rest assured, that Ye fellow will definitely come, one way or another," Duan Tian suddenly spoke, gripping the Golden Blade in his hand, appearing quite formidable.

Hong Tiandu didn't bother to reply, not even sparing Duan Tian a glance, although the Ancient Hong Clan had acted, it did not mean they were helping Duan Tian, and Duan Tian clearly understood this. After chuckling, he didn't say anything else.

Another elder from the Hong Family said, "Second Young Master, as long as that Ye fellow arrives today, this place will be his grave. There's no one in the world who dares to challenge our Hong Family's dignity, let alone make us lose face."

Hong Tiandu chuckled and said, "Of course. He's just a mortal; I wouldn't bother regarding him highly. It's the likes of Hong Jiutian who ends up losing."

As they spoke, the ears of the other elder from the Hong Family suddenly moved, and he immediately bellowed, "They're here!"

No sooner had the words fallen did Ye Feng sweep over like a rainbow light and finally landed on the ground sharply, followed closely by Hong Qingyan, Long Nannan, Sausage Sister, and Chuwu.

Upon seeing Long Nannan, Hong Tiandu's expression changed dramatically, and he exclaimed, "It's you! I didn't expect... you all to come too."

On the other hand, Sausage Sister and Long Nannan were equally surprised, exclaiming, "Unexpected indeed, the Ancient Hong Clan has also gotten involved. It seems our master had already sensed this; no wonder he sent us."

Hong Tiandu clenched his teeth and coldly shouted, "Damn it! Doesn't Old Long realize that my elder brother intends to take his granddaughter as a wife? He even dares to interfere. What on earth does Old Long want to do?"

Long Nannan immediately became defiant and shouted, "Hey Hong Er, what are you talking about? You better watch your mouth. It's clearly your big brother who's been pestering me non-stop, and I'm not interested in him at all."

Hong Tiandu's face instantly contorted with gritted teeth, but the look of contempt he once had had disappeared, and even the two elderly members of the Hong Family also showed a solemn expression on their faces.

Duan Tian did not recognize Long Nannan and her two companions, so he asked, "Young Master Hong, who exactly are these three people?"

Hong Tiandu did not bother to pay attention to Duan Tian, even though the latter was a Great General; in his eyes, Duan Tian was insignificant.

One of the Hong Family elders chuckled and said, "It seems Mr. Duan Tian is still unaware of the background of these three individuals, but I am sure you must have heard of that little mountain village in the Northwest."

"What did you say, they are from the Northwest Little Mountain Village?" Duan Tian's face changed dramatically. Although he had never visited that Northwestern small mountain village, he had heard rumors about it and knew that, in the last century, the Nine Great Sects of Ancient Martial Arts had joined forces intending to annihilate that village in one fell swoop.

However, the result was that the higher-ups of the Nine Great Sects nearly all perished, and even their disciples suffered countless deaths and injuries, while that Northwestern little mountain village remained intact; this proved the strength and terror of the place.

"Then what should we do now, elders of the Hong Family?" Duan Tian couldn't help but ask.

The Hong Family elder glared at him and snapped, "What's there to panic about? They are just two youngsters and you're already this nervous, I really wonder how you ever became a Great General."

Upon hearing this, Duan Tian thought indeed, he was after all a distinguished Great General and here he was, panicking like this, which was disgraceful. Besides, he cast a glance at the five people present; aside from the three from the Northwest Little Mountain Village, the woman next to Ye Feng clearly seemed very weak.

Therefore, Duan Tian quickly had a rough strategy in mind, the three people from the Northwest Little Mountain Village could just be dealt with by the three from the Hong Family, while he himself could confront Ye Feng, and the senior elder from his Duan Family would handle Hong Qingyan.

Of course, the sequence could be adjusted slightly, after all, Hong Tiandu had made it clear he wanted to kill Ye Feng. Thus, Duan Tian's gaze locked onto Chuwu, for he could tell that of the three from the Northwest Little Mountain Village, this big fellow had the weakest aura.

"Looking at it this way, it's not impossible to contend, and there might even be a great chance of success. As long as I defeat my opponent, freeing up my hands, Ye Feng will definitely die!" Duan Tian thought secretly to himself.

However, Hong Tiandu was still staring intently at Long Nannan, word by word he said, "Miss Long, do you really intend to intervene today?"

Sausage Sister suddenly stepped forward and sternly shouted, "If you want us not to get involved, that's fine, unless you leave the mountain right now!"

Hong Tiandu ground his teeth and said coldly, "That's impossible, this Ye brat dares to humiliate our Ancient Hong Clan, today I must make him die!"

"Hong Er, you're really full of yourself. If you want to kill my Little Martial Uncle, ask if I agree!" Long Nannan yelled angrily.

Hong Tiandu gritted his teeth and hissed, "So it seems there is no room for negotiation. So be it, Northwest Little Mountain Village or not, today is a good opportunity to take this little Miss back, and directly marry her off to my big brother!"

"Hong Er, you really think too highly of yourself, today with me here, try and touch her," Sausage Sister said, her presence overwhelming.

The two elders from the Hong Family suddenly spoke up, "Since things have come to this, let's make our move. The situation in the world is about to undergo a major change, we can no longer care about past affections between our families!"

As they spoke, one elder charged out, heading straight for Sausage Sister, and at the same time, the other elder also made his move, aiming to capture Long Nannan.

"Elders, don't kill them, just capture them and take them back to the family. Once the raw rice is cooked, even Old Long will have nothing to say!"

After finishing his words, Hong Tiandu's gaze locked onto Ye Feng, and he proclaimed word by word, "You must be the Ye kid, right? Good, today this young master will use your blood to wash away the humiliation my Hong Family has suffered!"

Before his voice had fully faded, Hong Tiandu's whole body burst out with dazzling golden light, then charged straight towards Ye Feng.

"Let us make our move!" Duan Tian coldly shouted as he rushed toward Chuwu, and the senior elder from the Duan Family targeted Hong Qingyan.

A battle was about to erupt; in an instant, the entire Heavenly Movement Mountain Range burst out with earth-shattering noises, fortunately, it was in a desolate area, otherwise, it would have been an extraordinary spectacle.
