Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 772 - 744: Remember, He Is My Husband!
Hearing Ye Feng's words, the Elder Buddha of the Buddhist Sect couldn't help but let out a cold, contemptuous chuckle, "Truly, only the ignorant are fearless. With your level of cultivation, you actually entertain the delusion of healing him. Do you not realize that the Heart Demon has injured the patient's mental spirit, affecting the Sea of Consciousness in the Heavenly Heart Palace?"
Ye Feng curled up a corner of his mouth and snorted, "Are the two of you done? If so, you can make way. Of course, if you're not done, you needn't say any more."
"You..." The Elder Buddha of the Buddhist Sect became furious, even his eyebrows seemed to stand on end. After all, he was an Elder of the Supreme Sect, a peerless powerhouse who had lived for hundreds of years. Now, to have someone dare to be disrespectful to him was utterly outrageous.
However, before he could erupt, the Sacred Elder of the Confucian Sect waved his hand and said, "Enough, we have already warned him. Our words end here. If he wants to seek his own death, that's not our fault."
"A good heart treated like a donkey's liver and lungs. Since that's the case, I too can't be bothered to say more!" After finishing his words, the Buddhist Sect Elder gestured grandly with his hand and walked off the square, followed closely by the Sacred Elder of the Confucian Sect. They quickly left the square,
Seeing this, Hong Wuji hurried forward and said, "I'm truly sorry, esteemed Elders. This Ye fellow is utterly lawless, causing offense to both Elders. Please, have mercy on him!"
The Sacred Elder of the Confucian Sect waved his hand and said, "You needn't apologize. If anything, it's because our medical skills and cultivation level are too low to heal Hong Tianguo. However, I must remind you of one thing—the Heart Demon has infested the patient's Sea of Consciousness and the Heavenly Heart Palace, and moreover, it has intertwined with the patient's mental consciousness. More importantly, this Heart Demon has grown quite formidable, to the extent that even the Scripture Spells of Elder Buddha could not suppress it. Ordinary people simply cannot subdue it!"
The Elder Buddha also said, "Since Hong Qingyan is the daughter of Hong Tianguo, it's not good for us to interfere too much. Anyway, we have made things clear. As for what to do, that's up to you."
"Thank you for the warning, Elders. I understand what to do!" Hong Wuji bowed slightly and then turned with his three subordinates, Great Powers of the Yin-Yang Realm, and walked toward Ye Feng and Hong Qingyan.
"Hong Qingyan, you saw for yourself the efforts of the two Sect Elders to heal him. This Heart Demon is too powerful and cannot be easily exterminated through common means!" Hong Wuji said.
Immediately, Hong Qingyan snorted, "So you can just disregard my father's life without a care?"
A Great Power of the Hong Family's Yin-Yang Realm behind her huffed, "Hong Qingyan, don't be ungrateful. The Patriarch is considering the bigger picture for the family. This Heart Demon is so powerful that if it devours your father and becomes stronger, our Hong Family could suffer great losses."
"That's right, Hong Qingyan, don't be obstinate. Even the two great Sect Elders can do nothing. What can this Ye brat do? Don't be foolish and miss the best opportunity to eliminate the Heart Demon!" two other Great Powers of the Yin-Yang Realm added.
Hong Qingyan was completely enraged and spoke sternly, "You keep calling Ye Feng a 'brat,' but please don't forget that he is my husband!"
After a pause, Hong Qingyan continued, "Since my husband says he has a way, no matter what, I will give it a try. It's better than killing my father without even trying to save him!"
"Rubbish, we think you're deluded. Do you really think we wouldn't dare to act against you?" the remaining two Great Powers of the Yin-Yang Realm said furiously. One was a Second Seal and the other, a One Seal—it was clear they were already quite displeased.
Ye Feng chuckled, "If you have the guts, then go ahead and try!"
The two powerful members of the Hong Family stared intently and were about to step forward when Hong Wuji raised his hand to stop them, "If the boy is courting death, why stop him?"
Only then did the two Great Powers of the Yin-Yang Realm come to a realization and nodded, "Yes, the boy is like a dog biting Lv Dongbin—he doesn't recognize a good person. Since he's seeking his own death, why should we interfere?"
Turning to Ye Feng and Hong Qingyan, Hong Wuji said, "You want to try to save Hong Tianguo by yourselves, I have no objections. You might as well consider this a dead horse being used as a living horse doctor. But I'm giving you just four hours; the Heart Demon is growing stronger, and we mustn't delay any further. If after four hours, you still haven't managed to cure him, then I will annihilate the Heart Demon and destroy your father once and for all!"
Hong Qingyan bit her lip and didn't speak, instead turning to look at Ye Feng for his opinion.
Ye Feng nodded and said, "Four hours, that's plenty of time."
Only then did Hong Qingyan respond, "Fine, I agree. If my father's condition can't be alleviated after four hours, then you can do as you please!"
Hong Wuji spoke gravely, "Remember, these were your words. Moreover, don't blame me for not warning you—the Heart Demon is extremely powerful. Hong Qingyan, you mustn't act. If this youngster insists on intervening, then let him face it alone to avoid backlash and implicating you too!"
In reality, everyone could tell that Hong Wuji wasn't genuinely concerned for Hong Qingyan's well-being. What really mattered to him was the Bloodline Inheritance within Hong Qingyan, which was of great importance to the Hong Family of the Ancient Clan. Such inheritances appeared perhaps once every few hundred years or even once in a millennium. The Hong Family couldn't afford for it to end with Hong Qingyan.
Still biting her lip, Hong Qingyan didn't respond but turned her head again to look at Ye Feng.
