Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 647 - 642: Representatives from Various Forces Arrive
Without the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm, and still on Earth, the rapid progress of Hong Qingyan and Yu Feiyu truly shocked everyone.
Especially after they visited the Outer Battlefield, they understood that advancing was not so easy. If it weren't for the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm, it probably would have taken them several years to reach the Grandmaster of the Golden Core Realm.
But for Hong Qingyan and Yu Feiyu, progress had been that swift.
However, knowing the realms of Hong Qingyan and Yu Feiyu, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The realm of a Grandmaster of the Golden Core was sufficient for self-preservation in the Outer Battlefield, and Yu Feiyu's Half-Step Golden Core Realm was also considered strong there. They all knew that Hong Qingyan's combat power was not weak, and in the Valley of the Medicine God, Yu Feiyu, if nothing else, had an abundance of spiritual medicine.
Therefore, the combination of these two should have no major problems surviving in the Outer Battlefield.
"Although the Mistress and the others are not weak, it's still best if someone catches up with them. The locations where people are transported into the Outer Battlefield during the same time period don't change much. We should still be able to make it if we hurry now,"
Xiao Chuanqi said seriously, his concern for the safety of Hong Qingyan and Yu Feiyu evident.
Everyone frowned slightly, Xiao Chuanqi's words were reasonable. Even for Grandmasters of the Golden Core entering the Outer Battlefield for the first time, it could be quite troublesome if they were unfamiliar with the situation or encountered powerful Golden Core Realm alien beasts.
"Chuanqi, Zhantian, you two go now to catch up with the Mistress. Leave the selection of candidates to the four of us. Shadow belongs to the Shadow Guard, so she'll stay to choose from their ranks. Gai Jiuyou was once an army commander, so there won't be a problem selecting from the Northern Border Army. As for the Northern Cloud Residence, leave it to me,"
Leng Wuming said calmly and swiftly, already making prompt arrangements for the division of tasks.
Upon hearing the plan, Xiao Chuanqi and Sima Zhantian quickly nodded, not saying much, and immediately took to the air.
"We'll leave Earth in your hands then. Zhantian and I are going right away to catch up with the Mistress,"
Xiao Chuanqi, aware of the urgency, cut to the chase. With those words, he and Sima Zhantian were already flying towards the Gate of Whirlpool, showing no hesitation.
Leng Wuming watched the two disappear into the distance, quickly shifting his gaze back to Zhuge Wuming and Zhao Gongming as he slightly bowed. "Elder sages, our return must have alarmed some people. Please help us block them and tell them we will return to the Outer Battlefield shortly. We won't linger on Earth for long or trouble them,"
Having just emerged, they had already stirred the notice of many forces; certainly, there would be those who would come to observe them.
But they couldn't let too many people know about their return to recruit, thus they needed the help of the two old men from the Utility Pavilion to stop those who would come to spy.
Zhuge Wuming and Zhao Gongming, both aware of Ye Feng's plans, were certainly willing to help.
"Leave it to us. Though our strength can't match that of you youngsters, we still hold some influence here on Earth,"
Zhuge Wuming said with a smile.
"Let's go, Old Zhao. I can feel our 'guests' coming already,"
Zhuge Wuming said with a chuckle, already moving swiftly towards the distance, while Zhao Gongming laughed heartily and hurriedly followed.
They did not refuse Leng Wuming's request—because of Ye Feng. His presence opened up endless possibilities. In just one month, everyone around him had already become a Grandmaster of the Golden Core Realm, and even became capable of standing against the seven masters of the same realm on their own. These two old men would naturally become firmer in their allegiance.
Watching the two elders depart, Leng Wuming turned to Shadow and the others beside him and said, "We need to speed up too, to quickly catch up with the Mistress, then meet up with the Master."
Shadow and Gai Jiuyou both nodded. Then, the trio immediately began the selection process.
On Zhuge Wuming's end, he and Grand Sect Leader Zhao Gongming had already arrived atop the high tower of the Utility Pavilion.
A figure was flying towards them from afar. Zhuge Wuming and Zhao Gongming immediately released their presence, which drew the figure closer at once.
A shape gradually appeared before the two, and the newcomer gave Zhuge Wuming and Zhao Gongming a slight bow, speaking, "Senior sirs, our Hong Family received news of six Golden Core Realm Great Powers returning to Earth, and it seems they are all from the Northern Cloud Residence. The family sent me to gather information."

This was a Foundation Establishment Realm powerhouse from the Hong Family, who did not hide his intention but stated it directly.
As the powerhouse had barely finished speaking, several figures were already approaching from afar, converging toward where Zhuge Wuming and Zhao Gongming were standing.
Among these newcomers, some were in Dao robes, some in kasayas, emanating auras of Foundation Establishment or Divine Path Realms, representing the powers of the Nine Great Sects of Ancient Martial Arts.
Seeing the person from the Hong Family, one individual from the Buddhist Sect took the initiative to step forward and explain their purpose.
After all, the capital was the territory of the Utility Pavilion, and the other powers had to show some respect.
The intentions of these individuals and the Hong Family were the same—to inquire about the situation of Xiao Chuanqi and the others. After all, the news coming from the exit was astonishing. Six Grandmasters of the Golden Core Realm constituted a terrifying force, enough to annihilate a Great Sect on Earth!
However, the major powers dared not send Grandmasters of the Golden Core or Powerhouses of the Sacred Realm to investigate, fearing accidents. Thus, they sent strong individuals from the Divine Path and Foundation Establishment Realms instead.
This cautious attitude was clear to Zhuge Wuming and Zhao Gongming.
The two looked down on these powers, all of which bore grudges against Ye Feng. However, it was clear that their sending these few individuals was also an act of timidity and fear.
Of course, they wouldn't say this outright. Zhuge Wuming took a step forward and spoke in a light tone, "Go back and tell those old fogeys in your Sect and family clans, Ye Feng's followers have only returned to retrieve a few items; they won't stay on Earth for long. Rest assured, and they won't trouble you."
Hearing Zhuge Wuming say this, the several individuals were all somewhat skeptical. Although Zhuge Wuming didn't seem to be lying, they found his words hard to believe.
What exactly did Ye Feng need to retrieve that required the return of six grandmasters of the Golden Core Realm?
What shocked them even more was that Ye Feng's subordinates, who had only entered the Outer Battlefield for a month, had all reached the grand mastery of the Golden Core Realm. This was too staggering; no major power could help but feel terror.
That was why they had sent people to investigate the matter.
A Confucian Sect powerhouse clad in a long robe stepped forward and said, "Elders, we can hardly return and report based solely on your word..."
But before he could finish, Zhuge Wuming let out a cold snort, "What, you think my words are meant to deceive you!?"
As he spoke, Zhuge Wuming's aura burst forth, with Grand Sect Leader Zhao Gongming also releasing a cold snort and pressuring the group with his aura.
Their complexions shifted slightly; all of them were only in the Divine Path Realm and Foundation Establishment Realm. How could they withstand the pressure of the auras from the two strongest elders of the Utility Pavilion?
At that moment, their faces had turned slightly pale, their bodies trembling.
"Just go back and relay our words to the old fogeys in your Sect and family clans. Tell them to be at peace and not worry about anything, and leave quickly."
Grand Sect Leader Zhao Gongming was also speaking coldly now, not giving them any face at all.
The individuals from the Hong Family and the powerhouses from the Nine Great Sects of Ancient Martial Arts hadn't expected that the two elders from the Utility Pavilion would show no regard for their powers and dismiss them so forcefully.
However, they also knew that with such a firm stance from the two elders of the Utility Pavilion, there was no point in staying any longer. They had to leave.
"We understand."
The Confucian Sect powerhouse said with a slight bow.
The others also bowed one by one in agreement.
"If you understand, then you may leave. Our Utility Pavilion is a small place; it's not convenient for us to entertain you," Zhuge Wuming said coldly, clearly giving the order for them to leave.
The group didn't dare say anything more, turned around in unison, and their figures flitted away, leaving the imperial capital.
Watching the departing figures, Grand Sect Leader Zhao Gongming sneered, "A bunch of old cowards, afraid of life and death. They don't dare to come themselves and just send some juniors to snoop around. It seems these major powers are truly not far from collapse."
Zhuge Wuming squinted his eyes and spoke softly, "The strongmen of the major powers have mostly settled in the Outer Battlefield. They have no lack of powerhouses out there. On the contrary, our Utility Pavilion has fewer strongmen; we are genuinely the weaker party."
Hearing Zhuge Wuming's words, Zhao Gongming also fell silent. It was the harsh truth; the major powers may not have many strongmen on Earth, but their presence in the Outer Battlefield was like cloud upon cloud of powerhouses.
Their Utility Pavilion, in terms of heritage, simply could not compare with the Four Great Ancient Clans and the Nine Great Ancient Martial Sects; their strength was primarily concentrated in the Mortal World.
"I hope Ye Feng can bring us more pleasant surprises in the future," Grand Sect Leader Zhao Gongming sighed.
Zhuge Wuming said nothing more, instead turning his gaze toward the direction of the Northern Cloud Residence, his eyes filled with complexity.
...
On the Outer Battlefield, Hong Qingyan and Yu Feiyu had just stepped out of the Gate of Whirlpool, both feeling a bout of dizziness. If it weren't for Hong Qingyan's strength as a grandmaster of the Golden Core Realm, she too might have been overcome by the force that had engulfed them upon entering the Gate of Whirlpool.
Nevertheless, Hong Qingyan felt somewhat groggy at this moment, and Yu Feiyu had outright fainted beside her.
Hong Qingyan knew this was due to the Gate of Whirlpool, and she immediately roused the unconscious Yu Feiyu.
After Yu Feiyu regained consciousness, he looked around and realized they were in the midst of a stone forest, with no signs of any living creatures.
"Sister Qingyan, have we arrived at the Outer Battlefield?" he asked, somewhat groggily, as he rose from the ground.
Hong Qingyan smiled at Yu Feiyu's appearance, just about to speak when her expression changed, "Oh no, Feiyu, quick, hide!"
