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

```

The talent ranking martial arts tournament has temporarily come to an end.

The latest genius list rankings have been disseminated at the fastest speed, and basically, everyone in the Outer Battlefield who could receive the news has learned about this ranking.

"The latest genius list's number one is actually someone from Xuanyuan Hall, what about Qingya?"

"Ye Feng of the Xuanyuan Hall, the Northern Border King, swept through the other nine top experts to take first place, even Qingya was no match for him!"

"Who is this Northern Border King Ye Feng? Since when did Xuanyuan Hall have such a person?"

"This Northern Border King Ye Feng is proclaimed the strongest of the younger generation in Xuanyuan Hall this year, and rumors say he entered the Outer Battlefield less than a month ago. In Xuanyuan Nation, he is the Master of the Northern Border and also the head of the newly established Martial Academy; Ye Feng is the dean!"

"He must be quite old with such achievements, right? How can he still participate in the talent ranking martial arts tournament?"

"Wrong, he's very young, only twenty-six years old this year."

"Twenty-six years old? Are you kidding me? How can there be such a powerful cultivator at twenty-six years old, what kind of monster is this!?"

...

Various discussions continuously emerged in the major cities within the Outer Battlefield, and the news about the talent ranking martial arts tournament spread throughout the entire Outer Battlefield in an instant. Ye Feng, Ke Li, and Bu Fengning became the focus of everyone's heated discussions.

Of course, Ye Feng and the others were unaware of this at the moment; they had already flown out of the city to its outskirts.

The Four Great Powers still stood apart in the sky at this time. The people of Xuanyuan Hall were in high spirits, as Xuanyuan Hall had made a strong showing at the talent ranking martial arts tournament this time, not only securing the first place on the genius list but also having six members on the list, which naturally made everyone from Xuanyuan Hall feel honored.

Although many had grievances with Ye Feng, after all, he was one of their own from Xuanyuan Hall.

The people of Xuanyuan Hall were happy, but the other three powers were not so pleased, as apart from the Wizard Alliance of Snow Wolf Country having two members, the Western Vampire Divine Court and the Yin-Yang Temple each only had one person in the top ten positions, meaning that all three powers combined didn't have as many people entering the Source Secret Realm as Xuanyuan Hall, which naturally caused great annoyance.

"Close the city."

The First Hall Master suddenly spoke, and then the Great Powers of the Yin-Yang Realm from the Three Great Powers stood up one after another, including the First Hall Master, who had already soared into the sky. At this moment, all four powerhouses took out a token, each holding a different one in their hands.

The First Hall Master held a Great Seal while the Yin-Yang Temple's Divine Master Tanaka held a Token, the Vampire Divine Duke from the Divine Court had a small yet terrifyingly aura-emitting sculpture, and the Great Power from the Wizard Alliance of Snow Wolf Country also held a sculpture, but it was of a wolf, grasped in hand.

Ye Feng's eyes narrowed, sensing that there was an extraordinary aura emitting from these four tokens; these things were definitely not simple!

"These are the tokens for this city. Each of the Four Great Powers has prepared one, similar to how the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm was activated before. Only when all four tokens come together can the city be opened," explained Xiao Rulong, as if he noticed Ye Feng's gaze.

"This city is actually known as Duel City. For hundreds of years, all sorts of duels between the major powers have taken place here. It is said that there is a great secret behind this city, but no one has discovered anything unusual about it."

Ye Feng listened quietly, his interest piqued at the mention of a great secret. What could this great secret be?

He was very curious, having not noticed anything too unusual when he was in the city, though he knew that the city was constructed by the major powers. However, he could see no other issues.

At this moment, the four Great Powers of the Yin-Yang Realm above had already channeled a stream of energy into their tokens, causing the tokens to instantly fly towards the four corners of the city.

Simultaneously, the entire city began to shake violently. Since they were in the sky, Ye Feng and the others could clearly see the whole city shaking intensely.

Boom, rumble!

Boom, rumble!

A series of loud noises followed, and then Ye Feng and the others witnessed a shocking scene—the massive city began sinking towards the ground. The walls surrounding the city started descending bit by bit into the earth.

Those who had never seen the city open were wide-eyed with shock at this time, completely unprepared for such a spectacle.

The city continued to sink, emitting bursts of light, which were actually from the Formation maintaining the entire city, now transporting the colossal city downwards into the earth.

A moment later, the entire city had disappeared from sight. Those who had witnessed the entire process knew that the city had gone underground, leaving nothing but an empty expanse of land above ground.

Long Nannan and Sausage Sister were both stunned at this time, the sight of the entire massive city sinking into the ground right before their eyes had left them completely bewildered.

But Ye Feng's brows were furrowed, for he had heard some other sounds during the city's descent.

"Xiao Chubby, Brother Jerk, did you hear anything just now?" Ye Feng communicated telepathically with Chi Jark and Xiao Rulong beside him.

```

Both people looked at Ye Feng with a puzzled expression in their eyes, clearly not understanding what Ye Feng was talking about, and responded to him one by one.

"No, just a series of booms, the sound of the city sinking."

"I didn't hear it either, Ye Feng, did you hear wrong?"

Seeing their responses, Ye Feng knew that neither of them must have heard anything.

Ye Feng nodded and replied, "I must have heard wrong." He did not speak again but decided to try using his spiritual power to investigate beneath the ground.

However, Ye Feng discovered that no matter what, his spiritual power could not penetrate the ground; all the spiritual power he released seemed to sink into cotton, unable to detect anything at all.

Ye Feng felt even more perplexed. It seemed there was something strange beneath the ground.

Just as his spiritual power disappeared into the ground, Ye Feng heard some noises in his mind again.

"Release... me..."

Ye Feng's eyes shifted slightly, staring intently at the open space ahead as if trying to see through it, but no matter how hard he looked, he only saw an empty space and nothing else.

"Release..."

The voice rose again, but this time it stopped after a single word, and the rest of the words were completely unintelligible.

Ye Feng's brow was tightly furrowed. Perhaps there was more than just a fallen city beneath this vacant lot. What was this strange voice all about?

He tried once more to release his spiritual power to investigate below the empty lot, but just like before, his spiritual power seemed to sink into cotton, and he heard no other voices.

After several attempts, Ye Feng still did not succeed.

Ye Feng raised an eyebrow and stopped releasing his spiritual power to probe any further, knowing that it likely wouldn't yield any new information.

But he was certain there was something unusual beneath the ground!

He was completely sure that the strange noises were coming from below the surface, and it seemed that only he could hear them while Chi Jark and Xiao Rulong perceived nothing unusual. When things are out of the ordinary, there must be demons at work!

However, for now, there was nothing he could do but to try investigating again later.

"Alright, everyone, let's move out. The Source Secret Realm is only half a day's distance from here. The rest may either head back now or accompany us to wait outside the secret realm," the First Hall Master said, turning to address everyone before flying directly towards a direction. Some people from Xuanyuan Hall chose to leave immediately, while others followed behind the First Hall Master to the Source Secret Realm.

After half a day of flying, everyone had arrived at a vast lake, surrounded by dead grass and withered trees.

The plants in the Outer Battlefield were mostly withered and yellow, except for a few spiritual medicines. No green plants could grow in the Outer Battlefield; they were all desiccated and yellow. As for why there were spiritual medicines, few knew the real reason.

The water in the lake was black, devoid of any life, and it emitted a strange chill. The temperature around the lake had noticeably dropped a lot.

"This is Weak Water Lake. The water in this lake is very peculiar—anything as light as a feather will sink. Moreover, the lake is bottomless. In the past, there were Grandmasters of the Golden Core Realm and Great Powers of the Yin-Yang Realm who went in to explore, but they didn't find anything. Anyone who entered the Weak Water disappeared without a trace, not even a corpse was seen."

"After that, nobody else entered the waters of Weak Water Lake. This place has always been an unsolved mystery of the Outer Battlefield, and the Four Great Powers searched through ancient texts but couldn't find any information on Weak Water Lake. It seems that after the Ancient Times, Weak Water Lake appeared in the Outer Battlefield."

Xiao Rulong looked at the black lake in front of him with vigilance in his eyes.

By his side, Long Nannan and Sausage Sister showed signs of shock. Even Great Powers of the Yin-Yang Realm had vanished upon entering the lake—it was that terrifying.

Ye Feng also raised an eyebrow; he had just learned of Weak Water Lake's existence: "Why haven't I heard of this place before?"

Such a dangerous place, and in his one month in the Outer Battlefield, Ye Feng had never heard of it.

"Because there is nothing near Weak Water Lake but the lake itself. No Alien Beasts, no Spiritual Medicine has ever appeared. Most people would not come to this place, so it is rarely mentioned."

"Plus, you haven't been in the Outer Battlefield for a long time, Ye Feng, so it's normal not to know," Chi Jark said at that moment.

Ye Feng nodded, so that was how it was.

The people from the Four Great Powers had already stopped in front of Weak Water Lake, with everyone somewhat puzzled, not understanding why the Great Power would bring them here.
