Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 491 - 487: Powerful Alien Territory Monster!
The bamboo-fenced courtyard was very tranquil, and Ye Feng swiftly settled Hong Qingyan down.
Old Man Huang stood by the bedside, his brows deeply furrowed, not uttering a word.
Ye Feng glanced at him and couldn't help but ask, "How is it, Old Huang, can you see what's going on inside Qingyan's body?"
Old Man Huang's eyebrows furrowed even more, and eventually he shook his head and sighed, "There's no way, it seems that since this old man has arrived, I can't even discern the symptoms. What's affecting her unconsciousness is in the sea of consciousness, her divine soul. It's embarrassing to say, but I have no way to investigate that."
Hearing this, Ye Feng had an idea. He speculated that Old Man Huang probably hadn't developed spiritual power yet. Otherwise, he should have been able to discern some clues. In other words, maybe Old Man Huang's combat power was stronger than his own, but he was weaker than himself in terms of spiritual power.
Yu Feiyu then said, "Although Sister Qingyan is still unconscious, her condition has been improving little by little these past few days, especially her bloodline, which is gradually stabilizing. Presumably, there shouldn't be much danger, and she should be able to wake up after some time."
Ye Feng nodded and said, "Right. Given the current situation, we probably have to rely on her. Others can't help much."
In fact, there were many times when Ye Feng almost couldn't resist using his spiritual power to enter Hong Qingyan's sea of consciousness to investigate, but he ultimately refrained from doing so because he wasn't completely certain. After all, he dared not gamble with Hong Qingyan's life.
Old Man Huang was obviously feeling frustrated. He had hoped to show off a few skills in front of his newly accepted disciple, but now he could only eat humble pie. He waved his hand and said, "Since it's like this, then let's go outside and talk, so as not to disturb this girl."
The group left the bedroom and sat down at a wooden table in the bamboo-fenced courtyard outside. Old Man Huang turned to Yu Feiyu and said, "Disciple, since you have decided to give up the Martial Dao and turn to the Dao Technique, your master has nothing more to say. Just one thing, don't be in a hurry to disperse your energy."
Yu Feiyu asked in confusion, "Why, Master?"
Old Man Huang said, "Dispelling energy to switch to another cultivation is not a trivial matter. In the next few days, I will get you some herbs. Soak in these herbs while dispersing your energy. It will make your foundation establishment much easier later on, and of course, it will also benefit your innate bone structure."
Yu Feiyu immediately nodded and said, "Then I thank you, Master."
"It's a trifle!" Old Man Huang waved his hand, then turned to look at Ye Feng, and spoke seriously, "Kid Ye, since you have decided to enter the Outer Battlefield, you must have some understanding of the situation there, right?"
Ye Feng slightly nodded, then shook his head and said, "I must admit, Senior Huang, that regarding the Outer Battlefield, I do have some understanding. But there are several places that still baffle me."
Old Man Huang suddenly smiled and said, "Before I came back, I had been wondering why that Old Man with Big Tobacco Pipe would arrange for me to come back to guard this place. Looking at it now, he probably foresaw that you would come back. Just ask whatever you don't understand."
Speaking of this, Old Man Huang suddenly sighed and then said, "Moreover, there are some secrets about the little mountain village that it's time for you to know. With your current cultivation realm, you should also be told."
Ye Feng immediately asked the question that concerned him the most and puzzled him the longest, "Old Huang, what exactly is the mission of the little mountain village, and where do the people of the village go? Is it the Outer Battlefield?"
"I knew that would be the first question you asked."
Old Man Huang chuckled, then suddenly looked up at the vast sky dome that seemed to never have nightfall and said leisurely, "By now, you must know about the existence of an alien space-time, right?"
Ye Feng nodded slightly.
Old Man Huang continued, "The place where our villagers go, if you call it the Outer Battlefield, that wouldn't be wrong, but it's not entirely correct either. To be precise, that place is the central hub between the Outer Battlefield, our current world, and another alien space-time."
"A central hub connecting three worlds?" Ye Feng's expression changed slightly upon hearing this.
"Exactly. Of course, that location is hidden; ordinary people simply cannot see it. Even if you go to the Outer Battlefield, if you don't know the special Dao Technique for transmission, you won't be able to reach there."
As Old Man Huang was speaking, he suddenly said solemnly, "That place has a Great Wall of Heaven, a very, very majestic and grand wall."

"The Great Wall of Heaven?" Yu Feiyu, who was beside him, couldn't help being astonished and asked, "May I ask what is the purpose of this Great Wall of Heaven?"
"I suppose the mission of the villagers is to guard this wall?"
Interrupting, Ye Feng continued in a leisurely sigh, "Since that place is connected to alien space-time, then this Great Wall of Heaven must be there to stop the creatures from the alien territory from entering ours. And the real mission of the villagers is to guard it and protect the gateway."
Old Man Huang nodded slightly and then sighed deeply, "To tell the truth, I've lived 108 years to this day, but I've never been to the outside world they call the gaudy mundane world. My whole life has been a straight path, if not at the Great Wall of Heaven, then in this little mountain village."
Hearing this, Ye Feng respected him profoundly. People outside say that the Northwest Little Mountain Village is a place for criminals, and they're not allowed to leave the mountain village and enter the mundane world. But how many in the world know the burden of the mission that the villagers of this little mountain village carry on their shoulders.
Yu Feiyu stopped interjecting at this point, his face involuntarily showing solemnity, and at the same time a deep shock. It turned out that the world was far from as simple as he had originally imagined, nor as seemingly peaceful and serene on the surface.
The reason why the world seemed so peaceful was simply because a part of people were silently guarding and sacrificing.
Old Man Huang suddenly stopped his lamenting and asked, "Kid Ye, regarding the recent issue in the Central Region Fallen Dragon Valley, you must have guessed something, right?"
Ye Feng nodded slightly.
Old Man Huang then said, "Before I came back, that Old Man with Big Tobacco Pipe told me that in one year, or at most three years, it is feared that the Great Wall of Heaven and that other gate might not be able to be held any longer, after all, they have been worn down by the Great River of Time."
"Only three years at most?" Ye Feng's expression slightly changed, which was much less than what he had anticipated.
"Correct, three years. So during these three years, not only do we have to prepare for the worst, but you also need to make adequate preparations. Old Man with Big Tobacco Pipe said you must, in the shortest time possible, cultivate that Dao Technique to the level of Great Perfection, and he will take you to a place then," Old Man Huang said.
Ye Feng nodded and said, "I understand that, cultivating the Dao Technique to Great Perfection. But at the fastest, it probably takes about half a year. By the way, Senior Huang, you mentioned another gate just now, what is that place?"
"This other gate," Old Man Huang said, then suddenly shook his head and spoke in a low voice, "Originally, our Northwest Little Mountain Village was not responsible for this gate. It was guarded by the Four Great Ancient Clans. In fact, in the Ancient Era, the Four Great Ancient Clans and our little village were connected, but as the years passed, this connection gradually faded."
"Guarded by the Four Great Ancient Clans?" Ye Feng asked. He suddenly thought of the parents of Hong Qingyan; they must have entered the other Alien Space-Time through this gate.
"Yes, the gate was originally guarded by the Four Great Ancient Clans, but now everything has changed, especially the Hong Family and Bu Family, which probably saw that the gate would not hold for much longer and so are ready to give up, gradually shifting their focus to the Outer Battlefield and the mundane world," Old Man Huang lamented.
Obviously, this was also something that couldn't be helped. With at most three years left, seeing that the gate and the Great Wall of Heaven are unable to be held, it is inevitable that these Four Great Ancient Clans would think of other ways to save themselves.
But speaking of this, Old Man Huang suddenly lamented again, "However, having said that, you did the right thing by vigorously promoting the Martial Academy. Once it truly can't hold any longer and those creatures from the other side come over, ordinary people who have practiced martial arts would be able to cope somewhat."
Ye Feng thought that this was indeed his plan, and after thinking for a bit, he then asked, "By the way, Senior, do you know the place my senior brother mentioned that he would take me?"
Old Man Huang shook his head and said, "I have no idea about that, the Old Man with Big Tobacco Pipe didn't say either. But once your Dao Technique reaches Great Perfection, you'll naturally know. What you need to do now is to do everything you can to enhance your own strength after entering the Outer Battlefield, in order to better deal with the upcoming major changes."
Yu Feiyu, who had been listening, suddenly asked, "Master, are the monsters from that Alien Space-Time all very powerful? Without the protection of the Great Wall of Heaven, once these monsters come over, won't we be in great danger?"
Old Man Huang pondered briefly before replying, "Since you've asked, I don't want to hide it from you—yes, the monsters from the Alien Space-Time are indeed very strong. It's a good thing that they don't seem to be focused on our side, otherwise, with our Cultivation Realm, we wouldn't be able to withstand their full-force assault."
Having said this, Old Man Huang chuckled and added, "Of course, my disciple, don't be too pessimistic. If it really comes down to it, we can still hold our ground at the rear. At least within this hour, we should be able to maintain a defense."
Yu Feiyu fell silent, feeling a heavy weight on her heart.
Ye Feng felt much better than her, although he also felt tremendous pressure, but also derived a strong motivation from it.
Just at this time, the middle-aged man from the Long family and the old woman came, bringing several delicate dishes.
It turned out that this middle-aged man who bore the surname Long was Long Nannan's cousin. During the meal, he asked a lot about Long Nannan's situation.
Ye Feng did not conceal anything from him and told Long Zaitian about Long Nannan forcibly triggering her transformation.
Long Zaitian couldn't help but frown and harrumphed, "I was against it from the start, unfortunately the Old Man with Big Tobacco Pipe was obstinate, and wouldn't listen to anyone's advice, insisting on sealing that creature inside Nannan."
Ye Feng raised an eyebrow and asked, "Creature? What sort of creature?"
Long Zaitian gave a faint huff and said, "I'm not very clear about what creature it is either. In any case, that Old Man with Big Tobacco Pipe said it was an extraordinary beast, rare even in that Alien Space-Time, so he insisted on doing it, no matter who tried to persuade him."
Old Man Huang waved his hand and said, "Alright, although Miss Long forcibly activated it, it seems she hasn't suffered much harm. Since she has already been sent there in time, there probably won't be any serious problems."
Long Zaitian harrumphed and still looked quite unhappy.
Ye Feng had no choice but to clink glasses with him and took the opportunity to steer the conversation elsewhere.
The village knew no night, so there was no way of telling how long had passed. After the meal, Ye Feng left, and since the villagers knew he had things to do, they didn't insist on him staying long.
