Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 607 - 602: Dark History
Hearing this, Ye Feng couldn't help but reveal a puzzled look. Why did he concede without even fighting Hong Tianyu?
"Why concede directly? Could it be that the reward for second place isn't good?"

Ye Feng asked curiously. He couldn't think of any other reasons. It was supposed to be that the rewards for the geniuses' ranking would descend in order, so the second-place prize should be much better than the third's, yet Ke Li directly gave up on second place.
"What's not to like? The first-place reward is the Purple Gold Ancient Bell, while the second-place reward is a top-level magic treasure for attack, the Fiery Sun Divine Spear," said Xiao Rulong in a solemn voice. Beside him, Chi Jark with a look of disdain, chuckled, "The Fiery Sun Divine Spear also qualifies as a top-level magic treasure?"
"It's not even close to our Chi Family's Silver Dragon Spear in terms of class!"
Chi Jark spoke with disdain. The Silver Dragon Spear was the silver spear he had been carrying with him.
But no sooner had he finished speaking than Xiao Rulong said in a ghostly tone, "You really have the nerve to say that. Who was it that told me before the contest that you must have the Fiery Sun Divine Spear, only to end up in the sixth place and then fail to advance any further? Have you no shame?"
"That Silver Dragon Spear and the Silver Dragon Armor on you were both taken back to the Chi Family after the last genius ranking competition. You sneaked out the two treasures of your family from the Treasure Pavilion without the Chi Family Patriarch's knowledge and secretly refined them."
"I remember that time, you almost got your cultivation level destroyed by the Chi Family Patriarch, right?"
Xiao Rulong mercilessly exposed another piece of Chi Jark's dark history.
At this moment, Chi Jark's entire face really looked as awful as if he had eaten fly shit, because what Xiao Rulong said was all true.
He had indeed coveted the Fiery Sun Divine Spear and once told Xiao Rulong that he was determined to obtain it. However, to his surprise, there were many dark horses in the competition, such as that first-place guy from the Yin-Yang Temple who was fighting for the first time publicly and had no prior information known about him.
Who could have expected that a no-name from the Yin-Yang Temple would knock him out instantly? He was speechless at that moment, and the strength of the others was beyond his imagination, ultimately finishing in sixth place while Hong Tianyu took advantage of the situation and claimed second place.
During his battle with Miyamoto Ichiro, Hong Tianyu had a tough victory. If he really faced Ke Li, he wouldn't stand a chance against him; Ke Li simply chose not to fight him.
Chi Jark's face was filled with frustration and dissatisfaction as he retorted, "Xiao Chubby, mind your words. I took what was mine; that's not called stealing!"
"I was the next heir for the Chi Family leadership as recognized by the family. Taking the Silver Dragon Spear and Silver Dragon Armor was just to let them return to their master's side sooner and get acquainted in advance," Chi Jark said with all seriousness.
Xiao Rulong's face was even more playful, and he laughed, "As far as I remember, didn't the Chi Family Patriarch say you must reach the Golden Core Realm before you can take the Silver Dragon Spear and Armor? All the previous Chi Family heads took them only after reaching the Golden Core Realm. It's just your generation that's an exception."
Sausage Sister became interested and asked directly, "Why must it be the Golden Core Realm before they can be taken?"
Xiao Rulong glanced at Sausage Sister and smiled, "Because the Silver Dragon Spear and Armor of the Chi Family are true top-level magic treasures that require high standards from the user. Without sufficient strength and realm, one simply can't wield these top-level magic treasures. Once a Chi Family heir tried to force it before reaching the Golden Core Realm, and the magic treasures turned against him, severing his meridians."
"Although he was saved in the end, his cultivation level was nearly wasted, and that incident caused the Chi Family's decline for a time."
"An heir of an ancient clan will have used a lot of the family's resources and must possess sufficient strength and talent to be chosen as the successor. If such an heir falls or encounters a cultivation problem, it poses a significant loss for an ancient clan."
"That's why, after that incident, the Chi Family set the rule that any heir must not take the Silver Dragon Spear and Armor before reaching the greatness of the Golden Core Realm, or they would face five years of wall-gazing as a penalty!"
"However, this scoundrel here simply refined both top-level magic treasures after taking them, and nothing grave happened. Then, he ran straight back to the Outer Battlefield and vanished. The Chi Family Members searched frantically for him. Only after they sent a message assuring him they wouldn't punish him did he dare to show up; otherwise, he might still be in hiding," Xiao Rulong said playfully.
Chi Jark's entire face had turned green. The Xiao Family and the Chi Family were almost as one, and he and Xiao Rulong had virtually grown up together, so Xiao Rulong knew all about him.
Now Xiao Rulong was airing all his dirty laundry, and Chi Jark truly felt the urge to run his spear through Xiao Rulong.
Xiao Rulong, noticing Chi Jark's murderous gaze, gave a cough and said, "Scoundrel, I'm just helping everyone get to know you better, right? We're all going to be living together. Even if I kept silent, everyone would find out sooner or later. Rather than having you embarrassed later on, I might as well bring it up now. I'm sure no one will mind too much."
Xiao Rulong looked serious, but at that moment, fire seemed to blaze in Chi Jark's eyes, and he really wanted to tear Xiao Rulong's mouth.
Ye Feng, watching the two nearly come to blows, couldn't help but laugh and cry, stepped in to mediate, "You two, enough already. I won't ask any more questions. If this continues, the little boat of your friendship is really going to capsize."
Ye Feng was also somewhat helpless. How could these two guys keep bickering like this, two Grandmasters of the Golden Core Realm and both belonging to the pride of ancient clans, yet they kept on squabbling incessantly. Luckily, there were not many people around; otherwise, it would have been quite the embarrassment.
However, Ye Feng could see that the relationship between Chi Jark and Xiao Rulong was indeed not ordinary. The two of them knew each other thoroughly, and their personalities were rather straightforward.
Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, the two of them finally stopped, although the murderous look in Chi Jark's eyes had not yet faded.
Ye Feng glanced at Ke Li in the camp of the Wizard Alliance of Snow Wolf Country and quickly withdrew his gaze. Ke Li's strength was not poor, but in terms of aura, he was probably still not a match for Ye Feng.
However, it might be a different story if Chi Jark or Xiao Rulong were to face Ke Li.
Without dwelling on it further, Ye Feng noticed the Western Vampire Divine Court to the west, the Wizard Alliance of Snow Wolf Country to the north, and to the south were figures in long robes and tall hats—Onmyoji from the Fusang Yin-Yang Temple!
Of course, the Yin-Yang Temple's forces were not limited to Onmyoji; Ye Feng also saw two ninjas at the Expert of the Golden Core Realm level.
However, the number of people on the side of the Yin-Yang Temple currently added up to only fifteen.
At this moment, in a tent at the camp of the Yin-Yang Temple, a Yin-Yang Divine Master said with a cold gaze, "Have there been any news of the Sword Saint of the Western Palace? Why is there still no contact with them?"
Kneeling on one knee in front of this Yin-Yang Divine Master was a Half-Step Golden Core expert, who respectfully said, "Reporting to the Divine Master, there is still no news at all. We can't get in touch with the great Sword Saint of the Western Palace, including Miyamoto Ichiro. None of them can be reached; it's as if they've vanished."
The face of the Yin-Yang Divine Master darkened, and his gaze flickered continuously, "Since when has it been impossible to make contact?"
The Half-Step Golden Core expert immediately replied, "Half a day ago, we have been attempting to establish contact during this period, but there has been no success in reaching them."
Hearing that contact had been lost as of half a day ago, the Yin-Yang Divine Master's face became even angrier, and his powerful aura slowly began to manifest as he said coldly, "Why didn't you come to report when you lost contact half a day ago?"
Feeling the terrifying aura that was starting to show from the Yin-Yang Divine Master, the Half-Step Golden Core Realm expert was dripping with cold sweat and fear. Trembling, he said, "Great one... You were in secluded cultivation... I didn't dare to disturb you..."
Bang!
The powerful aura of the Yin-Yang Divine Master exploded, attacking the Half-Step Golden Core Realm expert directly.
"No!!"
"No, no, no!!!"
"Master, I realize my mistake!"
"Master..."
The complexion of the Half-Step Golden Core Realm expert changed drastically; he screamed desperately, and in the next instant, a powerful aura crushed him, exploding his body into a mist of blood.
No corpse was left behind, only a cloud of blood slowly falling, turning into tiny droplets of blood.
This was the oppressive power of a Great Power of the Yin-Yang Realm, enough to crush an expert of the Half-Step Golden Core Realm!
"Idiot, not knowing the severity of matters. You're of no use alive either," said the Yin-Yang Divine Master coldly, looking at the blood mist in front of him without a hint of emotion, as if he had just killed an ant.
At that moment, another soft and gentle voice came from the tent, "Divine Master Tanaka, there's no need to be angry about this. Even if the Sword Saint Palace's people don't make it, it won't make much of a difference. Everything is under my control."
Divine Master Tanaka turned and looked at an Onmyoji standing beside him, whose appearance was extremely feminine and beautiful, radiating a powerful and elusive aura.
Divine Master Tanaka smiled and said, "Qingya, you are right. With you here, none of the heaven's pride on this Outer Battlefield will be your match. The first place on the Genius Ranking will surely be in your hands again this time."
...
Meanwhile, Ye Feng and his group had arrived at the Xuanyuan Hall camp. At this time, everyone gathered together, led by the First Hall Master of the Xuanyuan Hall.
Everyone had noticed the arrival of Ye Feng and Chi Jark among others, and their expressions varied.
