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

Li Tiegang shook his head and said, "As for the Grand Alliance Leader, I have no knowledge of that."

At this point, Xiang Zuoming, who was sitting aside, suddenly spoke up, "As for the Grand Alliance Leader of the Jiangzuo Alliance, I, as Leader of the Jiang City Martial Alliance, do happen to know something."

Ye Feng suddenly shouted in a deep voice, "I didn't ask for your input, so shut your damn mouth!"

Xiang Zuoming immediately became furious, his whole body seething with anger, and even his fists were clenched tight as if he was ready to throw a punch.

Of course, had it not been for his recent first-hand experience of the other's terrifying abilities, he would never have been able to endure, but at this moment, even in his towering rage, he could only hold back for now.

Gao Xuan could not help but scoff, "Mr. Ye, no matter how you put it, this is the Jiang City Martial Alliance, and we're in the headquarters. This man is our Leader of the Jiang City Martial Alliance, the true host here. Don't you think it's somewhat inappropriate to talk to him like that in this place?"

Clearly, Gao Xuan was unable to stand by any longer and wanted to stand up for Xiang Zuoming.

Xiao Chuanqi suddenly stood up, pointed at his nose, and said word by word, "I'll say it one last time, if I didn't ask you to speak, then keep your damn mouths shut, or do you believe I'll eliminate you two right now?"

Because of anger, Gao Xuan's face had turned beet red, but under the gaze of Xiao Chuanqi's eyes filled with murderous intent, he ultimately dared not speak.

Xiang Zuoming suddenly laughed, shook his head, and said, "Fine, we won't speak then. I, as the Leader, will just watch for now and see if you can still be so tough when the two Alliance Leaders from the Jiangzuo Alliance arrive!"

Gao Xuan let out a cold snort and then sat back down in his original chair.

Li Tiegang frowned and then suddenly said, "Oh yes, I just remembered, in the Martial Arts World east of the River, there seems to be a nickname for that Grand Alliance Leader. He's called the Buddha-Faced Lord."

"The Buddha-Faced Lord?" Ye Feng slightly raised his eyebrows.

"Exactly, the Buddha-Faced Lord. According to friends in the Martial Arts World, this Grand Alliance Leader of the Jiangzuo Alliance was most likely previously a member of a Buddhist Sect!" Li Tiegang said.

"A member of a Buddhist Sect?" Ye Feng's gaze suddenly sharpened, and an image surfaced in his mind.

It was that very afternoon when he and Hong Qingyan had taken a boat trip to a Tower Temple and met the Dreaming Sweeper Monk.

Though this blind sweeper monk appeared unremarkable on the surface, someone who wouldn't stand out in a crowd and was also blind, he was actually a real Martial King, and what's more, he had opened many acupoints, probably reaching the level of Middle Rank Martial King.

"Could it be him? It couldn't be such a coincidence, could it?" Ye Feng couldn't help but wonder to himself.

Li Tiegang gave a salute and said, "Mr. Ye, we are all aware now that you too are a Martial King, and as a Martial King, you have your pride, but that Grand Alliance Leader of the Jiangzuo Alliance is truly formidable, most likely a very powerful Martial King, so..."

Before he could finish, Li Jingang scoffed, "So, you want us to take the chance to flee, is that it?"

Li Tiegang said with a wry smile, "Although that is what I mean, I do not mean it as a mockery. I am genuinely concerned for your well-being. There is still a bit of time. If you leave now, there is still a chance to escape. The influence of the Jiangzuo Alliance is limited to East of the River. Once you are out of that range, there shouldn't be any problems."

Sima Zhantian replied angrily, "What a joke! How could we, with our identities, flee in the face of combat? It's absurd that you, as the Chief Instructor of the Jiang City Martial Alliance, and a childhood friend of Li Jingang, could just stand by and watch as your friend encounters trouble. Don't you feel ashamed?"

Li Jingang also said angrily, "Indeed, Li Tiegang, given our childhood friendship, I ask you one last time. If you were to choose to stand with me now to face the approaching enemy, would you be willing to do it, do you dare or not?"

Hearing this, Ye Feng immediately looked sideways at Li Tiegang, clearly very curious as to what choice he would make.

To be fair, Li Tiegang was not a bad person by nature; he was much better than Gao Xuan, Tong Qianqiu, and Xiang Zuoming. If he dared to stand up for what was right this time, it wouldn't be impossible to forgive him.

However, as for Xiang Zuoming, the Leader of the Martial Alliance, it was absolutely impossible for him to continue holding his position any longer. Therefore, Ye Feng had to find a new candidate. If Li Tiegang could turn over a new leaf, Ye Feng might not be unwilling to give him a chance.

Li Tiegang fell into deep thought, clearly struggling internally. After a long while, he looked up at Li Jingang and said, "You and I grew up together from a young age; you know me well. Although I have no wife or children, there is still an eighty-year-old mother at home. She is stubborn and refused to come to Jiang City with me, choosing to live in the countryside."

Li Jingang said impatiently, "What exactly do you want to say?"

Li Tiegang responded, "What I want to say is, if I choose to stand up next and fight alongside you all to defend the fairness and justice of the Martial Alliance against the enemy, and if I am unfortunate enough to die, my eighty-year-old mother…"

Li Jingang couldn't help but snort coldly, "What is so difficult about that? If you die in battle in a few days, your mother will be my mother!"

Li Tiegang almost burst into tears upon hearing this, nodding vigorously, "Good, I was wrong before. I am willing to join. Even if I die today, I don't want to cower before the Jiangzuo Alliance again. I've decided to resist for once!"

Ye Feng suddenly pointed at him and said, "Good. I am very glad that you've decided to pull back from the brink. However, I can tell you this, as long as I am here, you will not die today. None of you will."

Gao Xuan, hearing this, couldn't help but snort softly in the corner, "How ignorant. Soon you will realize how foolish you are — dying yourself and dragging a bunch of people to be buried with you. And that Li Tiegang, still talking about righteousness this late in the game. Isn't living well enough?"

Xiang Zuoming whispered harshly, "Why bother with them so much? They are all a group of dead people. What does it matter if we let them strut around a bit longer? We just need to stand aside and watch coldly."

Because Li Tiegang had suddenly chosen to join, Li Jingang was very happy; after all, he still very much hoped that his childhood friend would pull back from the brink and stand by his side.

Ye Feng then slowly closed his eyes, taking advantage of this time to cultivate quietly.

Since the accident half a year ago, he had clearly found that his body had become different from before. One significant change was that his cultivation faced almost no bottlenecks; it was all smooth sailing, and very fast.

He did not know whether his condition was good or bad, but for now, it seemed to be a good thing.

After uninterrupted day and night cultivation during this period, out of the one hundred and eight acupoints in his body, to date, one hundred and four had been unlocked. Only four remained, which were also the most difficult to unlock and the most vital.

At this stage, even Ye Feng did not dare to be careless, for any slight negligence could result in severed meridians, complete loss of martial arts, disability, or even death.

Therefore, for the moment, he was just gently cleansing the acupoints with his own Qi Force, without choosing to forcibly break through.

Time passed bit by bit, and it was now three or four o'clock in the early morning. As it was a suburban area, everything around was silent, and nobody was talking in the hall either.

However, suddenly, this silence was shattered by a humming noise. First, beams of light from car headlights penetrated the iron gates of the yard. Then, seven or eight cars roared in.

In an instant, the yard was filled with approximately thirty-four martial arts practitioners dressed in black, all lithe and strong, with varying degrees of murderous aura on their faces. Among them, five were even Great Grandmasters at the Huajin Level, and there were also six lesser Grandmasters of Inner Strength.

Even Ye Feng had to admit that such a force was not small, almost equivalent to a small Sect, no wonder the Jiangzuo Alliance had such a huge and terrifying force East of the River. Even the Jiang City Martial Alliance was extremely wary of it.

All of a sudden, the forty or so black-clad martial arts practitioners moved swiftly and soon stood neatly in two rows. At this moment, a custom-ordered, extended, bulletproof luxury car slowly drove in from the outside.

Seeing this formation, everyone in the hall immediately knew that the two legendary figures of the Jiangzuo Alliance, the Second Alliance Leader, and the Grand Alliance Leader, who were as elusive as the Divine Dragon, had arrived.
