Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 609 - 604: Bu Fengning has arrived
Divine Master Tanaka's face looked ugly as the words of the First Hall Master were a clear mockery of their Yin-Yang Temple, but recalling the strength of the First Hall Master of Xuanyuan Hall, he still suppressed his anger.
The people from the other three great powers nodded upon hearing this, and Divine Duke Lais even said with a laugh, "The First Hall Master is right. There are so many of us here, and we certainly won't wait for those few from your Yin-Yang Sword Saint Palace. Since they haven't arrived, it's simple to cancel their qualifications to participate."
"Now, fellow Daoists, please bring your people into the venue."
As soon as Divine Duke Lais finished speaking, he waved his hand, and all the high-level vampires from his Western Vampire Divine Court below were enveloped in a blood-colored light barrier and levitated.
Immediately after, Divine Duke Lais laughed loudly, "Everyone, enter!"
Once Divine Duke Lais had finished speaking, he led the blood-colored light barrier and flew directly into the vast city.
At this time, Ye Feng noticed how Divine Duke Lais addressed the First Hall Master directly as "First Hall Master" and, raising his eyebrows slightly, he transmitted his voice to Xiao Rulong, asking, "Xiao Chubby, what is the real name of the First Hall Master?"
Xiao Rulong was momentarily stunned but quickly understood Ye Feng's confusion, and replied through voice transmission, "No one knows the real name of the First Hall Master. People from the Outer Battlefield directly address him as such, and the formidable reputation of the First Hall Master is very clear to all powers. Even a great power from the Yin-Yang Realm of the Yin-Yang Temple once inquired about the First Hall Master's name, but the First Hall Master didn't disclose it."
"That great power from the Yin-Yang Realm was displeased and spoke disrespectfully to the First Hall Master. Subsequently, the First Hall Master struck with a single move, severely injuring the Yin-Yang Realm great power. Although it was one of the weaker Yin-Yang Realm great powers, it was genuinely a power of the Yin-Yang Realm. The First Hall Master's fame then spread throughout the Outer Battlefield."
"Since then, no one has dared to challenge the First Hall Master's authority."
"No one has dared to ask again about the First Hall Master's name. I've heard that even the other Hall Masters of our Xuanyuan Hall do not know the First Hall Master's real name, let alone those from other powers."
Not only that, but the appearance of the First Hall Master is also unseen; his face is perpetually covered by a veil of mist, and no one has been able to discern the First Hall Master's features."
As Xiao Rulong transmitted his message, his tone was still very solemn.
Hearing all these, Ye Feng frowned and glanced at the face of the First Hall Master shrouded in mist before promptly looking away, wary that the First Hall Master might notice his attention.
But by then, the seeds of doubt had already been planted in his heart. What was the true identity of the First Hall Master, and why maintain such secrecy?
Other Hall Masters were actually ancestors or predecessors from various ancient clans or the nine great sects of Ancient Martial Arts, such as the Seventh Hall Master of the Utility Pavilion, who was an ancestor of Grand Sect Leader Zhao Gongming. There was no need for them to conceal their identities. On the contrary, their status as a Hall Master could directly intimidate others from the Outer Battlefield's powers and protect the younger generation of their families or sects from being bullied by the powerful.
But the First Hall Master was an exception; that layer of mist on his face never disappeared.
Ye Feng silently took note of all this without making a sound.
Over on the side of Snow Wolf Country, the Divine Shaman also had a stern face, as one by one, the wizards dressed in Daoist robes took flight, bursting with energy as they flew into the city.
Meanwhile, Divine Master Tanaka from the Yin-Yang Temple looked as displeased as if he had eaten fly droppings, his face exceedingly ugly. These people were completely disregarding his face as a great power of the Yin-Yang Realm. In his heart, he cursed thoroughly at the Sword Saint of the Western Palace—if it weren't for the disappearance of the Sword Saint at this critical moment, he wouldn't be suffering such mockery.
"Let's go as well!"
Divine Master Tanaka gave the First Hall Master another cold glance, then, leading the dozen or so powerful members of the Yin-Yang Temple behind him, took to the air, following the others.
The First Hall Master paid no mind to Divine Master Tanaka's gaze, observing that the three great powers had already entered and now only their Xuanyuan Hall was left outside.
He was about to address the people from Xuanyuan Hall behind him when suddenly, everyone noticed a figure flying from the distance, and many turned to look.
"That is..."
"Why does this person feel somewhat familiar?"
"It's Bu Fengning!!"
Quickly, the crowd recognized the real identity of the approaching figure.
They saw the swiftly approaching figure dressed in a white robe embroidered with golden threads and a purple gold crown, his features strikingly handsome, his aura shrouded in mystery, his realm impossible to discern, yet emanating an inexplicable oppressive sensation.
"What a handsome man!"
Sausage Sister, standing beside Ye Feng, couldn't help but praise the figure.
Next to her, Long Nannan snickered and said, "Pfft, Sausage Sister, if that blockhead Sima Zhantian heard you say that, he'd be heartbroken."
Sausage Sister rolled her eyes and retorted, "What do his feelings have to do with me? Besides, I only said the guy is handsome; I didn't say I liked him. Don't overthink things, girl."
Sausage Sister sent Long Nannan a big eye roll, and Long Nannan laughed while sticking out her tongue.
While the two women joked around, Chi Jark and Xiao Rulong next to them couldn't afford to joke, their expressions were one more solemn than the other.
"Bu Fengning of the Bu Family has come after all!"
Chi Jark said in a grave tone, his eyes full of wariness.
Xiao Rulong also felt the same way. He looked at Bu Fengning and said softly, "He didn't show up the last time we competed for the Void Spirit Fruit. I thought he wouldn't appear at this Talent Leaderboard Martial Arts Competition either. Unexpectedly, this guy ultimately came. It seems this year's Talent Leaderboard Martial Arts Competition won't be that simple."
At that time, Ye Feng also gave Bu Fengning an extra glance, somewhat surprised. He couldn't see through Bu Fengning's strength — was it really that high, or was it because he was cultivating a concealment technique?
Ye Feng's curiosity was piqued. Currently, aside from not being able to discern the realm of the Great Powers of the Yin-Yang Realm, he could see through the realm of almost any powerhouse below that level at a glance. Of course, this didn't rule out the possibility that the other party was cultivating a technique that concealed their cultivation level. Ye Feng himself knew such a technique, but he seemed to have no need to use it.
By now, everybody already knew that he was only at the Peak Martial King Realm.
There would be no great effect in concealing his cultivation level any further.
The appearance of Bu Fengning was most surprising to the members of the Bu Family. Bu Tianyun at that time went over with another Realm Lord from the Golden Core Realm to greet him.

"Big Brother Fengning!"
Bu Tianyun greeted with cupped fists, as by seniority, he indeed should address Bu Fengning as his elder brother.
"Young Master Fengning!"
The other Golden Core Realm greeted with great respect, bowing deeply.
Bu Fengning's face was indifferent as he nodded slightly. He glanced at Bu Tianyun's Golden Core Realm level and said faintly, "Did you advance by entering the Spirit Essence Pool?"
Bu Tianyun's body shook slightly, and he immediately nodded, replying solemnly, "Yes, I just came out of the Spirit Essence Pool in the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm."
In his heart, he was astonished as it had been many years since he last saw Bu Fengning. Before the last Talent Leaderboard Martial Arts Competition, Bu Fengning had returned to Earth once, but ever since his secluded cultivation to advance to the Golden Core Realm, Bu Fengning had been continuously on the Outer Battlefield and hadn't taken a single step out. He hadn't seen Bu Fengning either.
However, after such a long time, Bu Fengning was still able to tell at a glance that he had entered the Spirit Essence Pool, which was shocking enough in itself.
"Your realm is quite stable, but it's still lacking a bit. You need to continue solidifying it on your own. The power of the Spirit Essence you've hastily absorbed is somewhat inferior to the strength you build through your own cultivation."
Bu Fengning's indifferent voice reached Bu Tianyun's ears, and Bu Tianyun paused, realizing that Bu Fengning was actually transmitting the message to him.
Bu Tianyun was slightly surprised. The Power of Spirit Essence in the Spirit Essence Pool was so pure, yet Bu Fengning was still telling him that he needed to continue to stabilize it on his own.
However, these past days, he indeed felt that his strength was a bit buoyant, lacking somewhat in control.
In fact, Ye Feng had noticed this problem as well, which is why, after everyone had cultivated for a while, he didn't let them continue staying in the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm for cultivation. Whether outside or inside the Spirit Essence Pool, quickly cultivating and absorbing the Power of Spirit Essence would not be very stable. It is essential to be solid at the base.
It would require tempering and solidification through combat or further personal cultivation. However, after advancing from the Spirit Essence Pool and solidifying the gains thoroughly, it wouldn't take much more time. A few more battles would basically do the trick.
"I understand. Thank you, Big Brother Fengning, for your advice."
Bu Tianyun transmitted his thanks.
At this point, Bu Fengning no longer said anything but approached the First Hall Master, bowing slightly, "First Hall Master, Fengning has arrived late. Please excuse my tardiness."
Bu Fengning looked very respectful and glanced at the First Hall Master's face shrouded in mist. His heart still trembled slightly — he still couldn't see the true face of the First Hall Master!
Aside from seeing those deep eyes that were like an ocean of stars, he could see nothing else.
Bu Fengning was shocked. He thought that after returning from his cultivation this time, he could glimpse the true countenance of this unmatched powerhouse. Yet, to his surprise, it was no different from before. Even though he had advanced from the Half-Step Golden Core to the top-level Golden Core Realm, he still couldn't make out a face.
His admiration for the First Hall Master grew a few notches higher in his heart. This was a genuinely unparalleled powerhouse, a fearsome existence in the Outer Battlefield.
The First Hall Master looked at Bu Fengning, as if he could see right through him, nodding in satisfaction, "Not bad. It seems your cultivation has borne much fruit over these three years. The young generation is indeed formidable."
The eyes of everyone present held a hint of surprise — for someone of the First Hall Master's standing to give such an evaluation was high praise indeed.
It seemed that Bu Fengning's current strength was indeed quite formidable; otherwise, the First Hall Master certainly would not have given such praise.
"You flatter me, First Hall Master."
Bu Fengning respectfully demurred, offering thanks before returning to Bu Tianyun's side.
At that moment, another streak of light came flying from a distance, and everyone looked over again.
"Hong Tianyu has arrived."
Xiao Rulong raised an eyebrow. He was now eager to have another bout against Hong Tianyu.
"Over there, someone else has arrived!"
Chi Jark's expression changed as he looked in a different direction.
