Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law

Humans always try to control powers they cannot harness.

The Martial Dao of the world is mottled and complex. Among these, the most mysterious are undoubtedly the Talisman Spell and witchcraft. The scarcity of spiritual energy in this age has driven more and more people to abandon the ancient magic techniques and turn to the practice of more pure Martial Arts. However, there are still some who incessantly pursue the old ways.

Such as the Onmyoji of Dongying, the Sorcerers of Curses in Southern Yue, and the Shamans of the Mingbei Empire and so on.

If the strength of a Martial Artist comes from the force of their Qi, then the enigmatic strength of a Magician who also cultivates with the aid of Heaven and Earth’s spiritual energy is from an origin that has always been a mystery.

In the Mingbei Empire, the Blood Curse Technique was once strictly forbidden to be practiced. However, as the later generations of Shamans modified the technique and with its powerful effects in warfare, it has been decreed permissible.

The Shamans of Mingbei call those cursed by the Blood Curse Technique Blood Eaters. In many countries of the West, a great number of calamities to mankind have been born, known by the world as Blood Eaters who become Vampires. Those who cannot control their thirst for fresh blood lose their sanity and become crazed if they go too long without drinking blood.

In conclusion, although the Blood Eaters have carved out a path of cultivation for themselves, in the eyes of the Shamans, they are still failures. How can a Vampire who cannot control himself be controlled by others?

Over the years, the Shamans in Mingbei continued to study the Blood Curse Technique, all the while seeking someone who could control the Blood Qi within them. The appearance of Gai Jiutian brought great joy to two Shamans who sensed his presence.

Since Gai Jiutian behaved very normally, in their eyes, the two Shamans saw not a trace of thirst for fresh blood. Whether he was the only one who could control the Blood Qi inside him was unknown to anyone.

But Gai Jiutian was the very person whom the Shamans in Mingbei had been searching for.

So when they discovered Gai Jiutian, the two Shamans did not hesitate to summon seven Werewolves to capture him alive.

Alas, forbidden techniques remain forbidden techniques.

Those uncontrollable forbidden techniques are extremely dangerous things. It wasn’t until Gai Jiutian unleashed his Blood Qi and became a Blood Demon that the Old Shaman realized his mistake.

It makes sense why people abandon the practice of magic. Practicing magic, it seems as though people are using various techniques, but in reality, there’s an unknown force that uses them through the magic.

Yet all truth dissolved into nihility within the Killing Sword Intent released by Gai Jiutian. He had lost control and became even crazier than all other Blood Eaters, carrying his final obsession and an endless desire to slaughter, he flew toward Mingbei with his Sword Control.

By the time Ye Feng arrived, he only saw a mountain peak that was missing half of its side. He did not hesitate and immediately followed the fading Qi.

Brother, that was his brother!

Mu Tian had left; why must you also leave me?

Ye Feng was in extreme pain. It was he who had ordered Gai Jiutian to investigate, and at this moment, all he wanted was to chase after Gai Jiutian and protect his dear friend and brother.

However, the Qi he followed seemed to grow ever more distant.

"Fengzi, you can’t chase him any longer."

Director Cao showed up and blocked Ye Feng’s path. He had already sensed several powerful presences ahead. If they continued chasing northward, it would be a road to death.

"Get out of my way!"

Ye Feng roared.

"Lingtian Cliff left you in charge of the Northern Border; for fuck’s sake, even if you want to die, you should at least find a successor for him."

Director Cao rashly made a move, sending Ye Feng flying dozens of meters with a palm strike, landing him in the snow.

"Calm down!"

Looking at Ye Feng not getting up, Director Cao felt a stab of pain. The man’s physical injuries were not severe, but his heart was deeply wounded.

Was it Gai Jiutian?

"Director Cao, take me back."

After lying down for a full two minutes, Ye Feng finally spoke in a subdued voice.

"Alright."

Director Cao did not hesitate to grab Ye Feng and break through the air to leave swiftly.

Behind him, at least three strong presences were closing in. Those people did not relentlessly pursue them. After gritting their teeth and watching Director Cao’s figure for a good while, they turned and headed in a different direction.

A major trouble has arrived from another side.

"Tsk tsk, the old man runs fast!"

"I came back so soon, I thought I could let loose and have a good fight with someone."

Before Ye Feng and Director Cao crossed Gesang River, Feng Yuan arrived.

Is she ridiculing me or praising me?

With his mustache twitching, Director Cao suddenly felt a surge of irritation. Effortlessly tossing Ye Feng to the distance, he thought, ’Dammit, carrying this dead weight, I won’t even be able to speed away without getting us both killed.’

For a Divine Path Expert like him, crossing the border of another country without permission, would definitely be seen as a provocation, and getting killed would mean dying in vain, leaving no opportunity for vengeance.

Why did they stop chasing?

Director Cao’s expression turned complicated: he had a vague idea of why those people had given up hunting him. After a pause, he finally spoke.

"My old Kung Fu legs made a fool of me in front of the miss."

What ancient Demon Creature is this?

But observing the aura that Feng Yuan exhibited, Director Cao never felt she was an old person. This hot-figured girl was extremely troublesome to deal with.

To keep a respectful distance!

In Feng Yuan’s presence, Director Cao uncommonly toned down his usual straightforwardness, behaving politely.

"Sister Feng Yuan, may I ask you a question? If someone has been possessed by a demon, is there any way to revert them to their original state?"

Ye Feng stood on the ice river, his face full of solemnity.

Gai Jiutian!

What exactly have you been through?

"The answer to this question isn’t difficult at all. If you’re strong enough to help the one who has been possessed suppress the Demonic Qi inside him, and help him return to normal, there’s another way that relies on the will of the possessed themselves."

"You might not believe it, but human will is infinite. Maybe one day, the humanity within the possessed will overcome the demon nature."

Watching Ye Feng’s distressed appearance, Feng Yuan left one thing unsaid.

To defeat one’s demonic nature and return to one’s original human form seemed a dim possibility—if one could have overcome it from the start, why would one fall into demonization?

"The path of righteousness is a foot high, the demon stands a yard taller," they say; demonic nature is far stronger than human nature.

"Thank you!"

A flicker of life returned to Ye Feng’s eyes.

Grow stronger!

He needed to become stronger. Ever since breaking through to the Martial King realm, Ye Feng hadn’t felt such an intense desire to increase his strength for a long time.

One day, he would find Gai Jiutian and restore him to his original self.

"Let’s go back!"

Ye Feng took a long, deep look at the vast lands of Mingbei.

If Gai Jiutian had perished in Mingbei, he would make sure the Mingbei Empire bled rivers, casting aside all considerations of profit and loss, all for the sake of vengeance.

"Don’t worry too much. The person you know is very strong!"

"With his current state, as long as he doesn’t blunder into places he shouldn’t, it’s likely that no one in this world can kill him."

Feng Yuan spoke with conviction.

The Five Realms of the Divine Path: Enlightenment, God Gathering, Spirit Division, Divine Communication, and Divine Skills. Speaking frankly, with her current realm, she wouldn’t dare to confront the owner of that aura, and those above her were the most powerful figures of the present age.

Thinking of killing that demonized person?

Heh, they might get killed instead.

"Is it Gai Dugu’s son?"

Cao Yi strode forward to walk alongside Ye Feng.

"Yes."

Ye Feng nodded slightly.

"That’s a bit troublesome. That old man will surely go mad."

Cao Yi frowned deeply.

The reputation of Gai Dugu, who had once overshadowed the Five Sacred Mountains Sword Cultivators and earned the unofficial title "Dugu Bubai," though Gai Dugu had been inactive for decades, no one would foolishly think his kung fu had decayed.

"It would be proper for him to come for me."

Ye Feng stated calmly.

"To come for you would mean at most a beating. What I fear is not that he comes for you but that he..."

Cao Yi glanced over his shoulder.

Mingbei!

With Gai Dugu’s fearlessness and his protective nature for his offspring, if he didn’t draw his sword and head to Mingbei to find his son, he wouldn’t live up to the name "Dugu Bubai."

The problem lies in whether or not he can find his son, and even if he does, what then? Can they recognize each other as father and son? Worse still, Gai Dugu might fall by his own son’s sword. That would be the greatest tragedy of all.

Trouble!

Without Gai Dugu, the Valley of the Medicine God would be like a lamb laid out for dinner. The Valley had always been on good terms with the Utility Pavilion; it was just that Ye Feng was unaware of this fact.

"Let’s keep this matter secret until I visit the Valley of the Medicine God."

A bitter taste arose in Ye Feng’s heart.

No matter what, he had to find a way to dissuade Gai Dugu from going to Mingbei. He had also envisioned the scene of father and son turning on each other; once they clashed, the one to die would only be Gai Dugu.

Damn Mingbei Barbarians!

After bidding farewell to the two, Ye Feng didn’t return to his camp to rest. Instead, he went straight to the Northern Border Camp.

"Since you’re here, don’t think about leaving."

A mad thought of revenge kept circling in Ye Feng’s mind.

The Mingbei Barbarians had ultimately come, just as he and another pursued Gai Jiutian. On the way, Ye Feng spotted the shadows of the Snow Wolf Riders.

All troubles were caused by these barbarians.

Clearly, Ye Feng blamed the Mingbei Barbarians for Gai Jiutian’s descent into demonization.

"By orders, within three days, the Northern Border New Fifth Corps must be fully integrated."

"By orders, command Xiao Chuanqi to lead the First Legion to Sunlight Bridge for immediate reinforcement, Leng Wuming to lead the Second Legion to Moonlight Bridge for immediate reinforcement, and Shangguan Fenghua to lead the Fourth Legion to Xinghua Bridge for immediate reinforcement."

"By orders, the Northern Border Army is to enter a state of battle readiness immediately."

Without waiting for Xiao Chuanqi and the others to find out what had happened to the north, Ye Feng began to issue commands in the commander’s tent.

Three orders in rapid succession, executed with thunderous speed and decisiveness. @@novelbin@@

Finally, it was time for war!

At this moment, truly long-awaited, surprisingly, the Northern Border Soldiers did not become tense upon hearing the news but were invigorated, eager for the test of battle.

Winning battles under the Northern King had long become a catchphrase for the Northern Border Soldiers.

At night, a group of mysterious figures clad in mechas arrived at the Gesang River, this vast river nearly three hundred meters wide, already frozen over with nearly one meter of ice.

In war, of course, one must fight to win.

Ye Feng aimed his gaze at the Gesang River. Did the Mingbei Barbarians really think that the Northern Border Soldiers would only dare cross those three bridges? The era had changed, and tonight, he was going to...

Break the ice!
