Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 508 - 503 Step by Step
Upon hearing that Li Benzhong had an ancestor in Xuanyuan Hall, the attitudes of these Sect leaders changed immediately, encapsulating the idea that having connections in high places makes everything easier.

Of course, the Holy Mansion of Confucian Sect and the Buddhist Sect also had elders in Xuanyuan Hall, but this wasn't particularly significant. After all, these elders of Xuanyuan Hall had no relation to them, so they might not receive protection after their arrival. But for Li Benzhong, it was different—he was, after all, a descendant of an elder from Xuanyuan Hall.
"Lord Li, once we reach Xuanyuan Hall, please look out for us," a disciple from the Underworld Sect said.
"Yes, Lord Li, the Outer Battlefield is exceedingly dangerous. We should naturally form an alliance, so we can look out for one another, and you, Lord Li, are entirely capable of being our leading guide," another Sect disciple flattered.
Li Benzhong was nearly floating on air, nodding repeatedly and saying, "Of course, of course. Once we're at Xuanyuan Hall, I naturally won't forget everyone. However, what are your thoughts about this Ye fellow?"
"Isn't it obvious? That Ye fellow, acting high and mighty just because he's powerful, does whatever he pleases. Take the Dragon Egg from just now for instance—it was originally discovered by us, the Nine Great Sects of Ancient Martial Arts, but he just swooped in and snatched it without a word, an utterly despicable act!" several Sect disciples coldly exclaimed.
The leaders from the Confucian and Buddhist Sects also spoke gravely, "Indeed, that Ye Feng is far too arrogant and domineering. Especially now, he has hogged the Dragon Egg and two other treasures for himself. Such behavior is absolutely intolerable."
"Well said!" Li Benzhong finally smiled, grinning from ear to ear, "Remember this, once we reach Xuanyuan Hall, we must align our thoughts. If I'm not mistaken, once that Ye brat gets there, he'll definitely deny taking the Dragon Egg. At that moment, we must all bite back in unison, we can't let him off!"
"Absolutely, we can't let him off. He wants to hog the treasures for himself without sharing a crumb with us. It won't be that easy. Once we get to Xuanyuan Hall, we'll seal his fate. We may not be able to overpower him and take the treasures, but the elders at Xuanyuan Hall will surely not tolerate his behavior!"
One after another, everyone spoke up, each with a righteous indignation on their face. Li Benzhong watched, secretly chuckling to himself, thinking how he had masterfully set the pace with just a few words.
"That Ye, daring to publicly humiliate me earlier, let's see how you die once we arrive at Xuanyuan Hall!"
Li Benzhong thought viciously, then with a grand wave of his hand, said, "Let's go. Xuanyuan Hall is not far now, we march immediately!"
At once, everyone unfolded their figures and dashed down the mountain, hastily pursuing Ye Feng and the others.
By this time, Ye Feng had already descended the mountain. Suddenly, Xiao Chuanqi approached and said, "My lord, those fellows from Li Benzhong's group were atop the mountain, and it seemed like they were plotting something again. I'm worried they will play dirty from the shadows."
Ye Feng replied with a cold voice, "They are just a few insignificant jesters; there's no need to worry about them."
Xiao Chuanqi nodded and said, "If it were only those like Li Benzong, there wouldn't be any need for concern. But I'm worried that once we arrive at Xuanyuan Hall, someone like Li Benzhong, full of nasty tricks, might incite the elders. Especially now that you possess the Dragon Egg, I fear even the elders at Xuanyuan Hall might be envious."
Ye Feng smiled faintly and said, "If you can think of this issue, do you think I wouldn't have considered it?"
Xiao Chuanqi was momentarily stunned. It was then that Shadow stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, General Xiao. Our lord is incredibly astute. How could he possibly fail to foresee the upcoming situation? Seeing how calm and composed our lord is, I bet he already has a strategy in mind."
Xiao Chuanqi shook his head and sighed, "Indeed, anyone with eyes can see that issue. It seems the emperor is not in a hurry, but it's the eunuchs who are dying of anxiety."
Shadow immediately rolled her eyes and said, "You never spit out anything good from that mouth of yours."
Ye Feng deliberately slowed down his pace to wait for the team behind to catch up. After all, he was the leader and had the responsibility to ensure the safety of his team members. Until he escorted them to Xuanyuan Hall, he intended to fulfill his duty as their leader.
Gazing at the vast land ahead, he sighed lightly and said, "Truthfully, I'm not entirely sure myself. After all, those are old monsters who have cultivated for hundreds of years. But since we've already come this far, we can only take it one step at a time."
Meanwhile, Li Benzhong and his group had caught up, so Ye Feng and his team naturally ceased their earlier conversation.
Sima Zhantian asked in a stern voice, "Li Benzhong, according to what your great-uncle said, after coming down from Flying Dragon Mountain Range and heading in the southeast direction, how long will it take to reach Xuanyuan Hall?"
Li Benzhong was inwardly furious, thinking how a mere general dared to be so disrespectful to him. However, with the current situation beyond his control, he had to suppress his anger and replied with a smile on his face, "If everything goes without any mishap, we should arrive in about two days."
Continuing on, Li Benzhong then said, "Furthermore, from here all the way east to Xuanyuan Hall, it's mostly this Sand Grain Plains. There shouldn't be any great dangers, so everyone can rest assured."
Hearing this, many people breathed a sigh of relief. After all, they had only entered a few days ago, and from the original group of fifty, including the Nine Great Sects of Ancient Martial Arts, there were only thirty people left now, almost half had been lost.
"Let's go, head east!" Ye Feng suddenly waved his Great Hand and quickened his pace.
Up to this point, he had successfully opened over two thousand three hundred acupoints. The Spirit Essence within his body had swollen to a terrifying level of potency. Furthermore, his Mental Power Nucleus had more than doubled in strength since entering, and overall, his combat power had improved by more than double.
With his current strength, even if he could not yet contend with the old folks of Xuanyuan Hall, he should have no problems protecting himself. Therefore, Ye Feng was not particularly afraid of the many elders he would soon face in Xuanyuan Hall.
Moreover, before setting off, Zhuge Wuming had told him that among the eight Hall Masters of Xuanyuan Hall, although the two from the Buddhist and Confucian Sects, and the two from among the Four Great Ancient Clans—Bu Family and Hong Family—were not on good terms with him, the rest should be on his side, or at least maintain neutrality.
So the overall situation to come shouldn't be too bad.
"However, my Cultivation Realm is still too low. I should work on opening up to two thousand five hundred acupoints with the Technique of the Three Thousand Acupoints. By doing so, I should be able to reach another level. According to the features of this technique, at that time, a powerful Martial Skill that matches it should appear!" Ye Feng anticipated inwardly.
The strongest among his current Three Thousand Acupoints Spells was the Sky-breaking Long Spear!
Although the Sky-breaking Long Spear was already very powerful, it would probably still be a bit strenuous to contend with those old folks of Xuanyuan Hall. Of course, these were not Ye Feng's trump cards; his true decisive means were the Mental Power Nucleus and the Divine Path Heavenly Edict Scroll.
The team kept moving forward. The Sand Grain Plains ahead were vast and boundless, and looking up, one couldn't see an end. But since everyone had found their direction, they didn't need to worry too much.
At this very moment, in an Alien Space-Time on the Great Wall of Heaven, which runs parallel with the Outer Battlefield, a small, Big Smoking Pipe-toting elder was sitting there, puffing away at his dry tobacco.
This Great Wall of Heaven was truly magnificent, spanning across the void, with many parts even concealed within the clouds, shimmering faintly with a dazzling light. In fact, this light was emitted by the array Barrier.
This Great Wall of Heaven, along with Earth World and the Outer Battlefield as well as another Alien Territory, served as a central hub for these three spatial-temporal areas. If the wall were to collapse, there would no longer be any separation between these three realms.
"Has that kid, Ye Feng, entered the Outer Battlefield?" The Big Smoking Pipe elder suddenly asked.
"Yes!" Sausage Sister was standing right beside him, yet the normally fearless Sausage Sister seemed quite restrained in front of this small elder.
"Grandpa Long, the Outer Battlefield is not like Earth World. Especially in Xuanyuan Hall, there are a few old fellows who will definitely make a move against Ye Feng. Should we send someone to give him a hand?" asked Sausage Sister.
"No need, there's no need!" Old Long immediately dismissed the idea, taking a couple of puffs on his dry tobacco before he added, "His foundation is solid. Let him walk his path from now on. Besides, we can't spare anyone from here. This wall, after more than two thousand years of constant patching, is ultimately about to fail to hold out."
Sausage Sister seemed unwilling to discuss this topic, so she changed the subject, "How is Nannan doing? Has her condition stabilized?"
Old Long nodded slightly, "It's stabilized, but that girl ultimately can't control those few drops of Dragon Clan bloodline. It won't do if this continues; she doesn't have much time left. It looks like we'll need to push her somewhat harder to help her."
Sausage Sister said with a solemn sigh, "Grandpa Long, perhaps back then, you shouldn't have sealed those drops of True Dragon Bloodline into Nannan's body. Although it gives her great strength, it might also cause her to lose herself."
Old Long scoffed, "You think I wanted to? If it wasn't for the imminent collapse of this damned wall, if it wasn't for the powerful creatures from the Alien Space-Time about to break through, do you think I'd be willing to experiment on my own granddaughter?"
Sausage Sister said no more. In fact, she knew that the frail-looking elder before her had borne far too much on his own over the years, the pressure on his shoulders nearly crushing him.
"Hopefully, Ye Feng really can grow strong enough to share some of the burden. Otherwise, on the day the wall collapses, it will be the day this old man falls," Sausage Sister silently lamented in her heart.
