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

The Jiangdu martial arts hall was much busier today than yesterday because the Long Family had specially publicized the event, announcing to the public that the Leader of the Jiangdu Martial Alliance would be sparring with Ye Feng, the Hong Family's son-in-law, today.

Overnight, nearly all the elite families in Jiangdu had come to know of this and had also been invited. So early in the morning, to secure a good spot, whether it was the Fu Family, the Lei Family, or the Long Family, as well as the Jiang Family, the Chu Family, and other powerful families of Jiangdu, had all arrived early.

The martial arts hall that could accommodate thousands of people was now packed with a dense crowd, which could be said to be the cream of the crop of Jiangdu.

Ye Feng had yet to appear because he probably did not like to arrive early, or maybe it's because important figures always prefer to make a grand entrance.

At the moment, however, the whole venue was already buzzing with conversation like the tide.

"This son-in-law from the Hong Family, I heard he's a cripple in a wheelchair? And he dares to contest the Leader of the Jiangdu Martial Alliance, is he insane?"

"I heard this Mad Son-in-law of the Hong Family was originally a foster son of the Fu Family and has a Great Grandmaster by his side. He's obviously not just another person, he's over the top, so arrogant that there are no bounds. Overnight, the reputation of this Mad Son-in-law of the Hong Family has reverberated through the entire Jiangdu!"

"That's right, I also heard that last night when several young masters of the Hong Family went to deliver a Battle Challenge Letter, they were beaten up by this Mad Son-in-law of the Hong Family, breaking their legs. Is there really such a thing?"

"It's true, because of this the Long Family was furious, proclaiming that today they must make this Mad Son-in-law of the Hong Family crawl out of the martial arts hall!"

The people from the Long Family were right in front at the arena; Young Master Long Shaogong, despite his legs being wrapped in bandages, insisted on coming in a wheelchair because today he wanted to see with his own eyes the scene of his grandfather defeating and crippling the hands of this Mad Son-in-law of the Hong Family.

"Has this Mad Son-in-law of the Hong Family not arrived yet?" gritted Young Master Long Shaogong with clenched teeth.

"He hasn't arrived yet. Could it be that this waste of a son-in-law doesn't dare to come today?" Young Master Long Shaowu snorted coldly.

At this time, a middle-aged man from the Long Family said with a smile, "Don't worry. Once a Battle Challenge Letter is issued by the Martial Alliance, even if he lacks the courage to compete, he absolutely cannot be absent. Otherwise, he will be hunted down by the National Martial Alliance. It's clearly stated on the letter, so he wouldn't dare not to come!"

Dragon Sound Pavilion turned to ask, "Right, where is Grandpa, is he ready? I heard that this time Grandpa's secluded cultivation has led him to a higher level?"

"Indeed!"

The middle-aged man from the Long Family huffed, a triumphant expression emerging on his face as he said, "Five Qi Returning to Origin, Father has reached the legendary state of Five Qi Returning to Origin. At his level, even the Long Family from the Jiangnan Province can now sit on an equal footing with him."

Young Master Long Shaowu was overjoyed and said, "Father, are you saying that from now on, when we meet people from the Jiang Family, our Long Family won't need to be subservient anymore?"

"Of course. Since Father has broken through to that level, he has gained full mastery. In the future, the Jiang Family's influence will no longer be able to interfere in our Jiangdu. In other words, today will be the day when our Long Family rises to dominate Jiangdu!"

"After today, Jiangdu will no longer be under the Three Great Ancient Families, but under the sole authority of our Long Family!"

"That's fantastic, our Long Family, after lying low for decades, will finally be able to break free and ascend to the heavens, soaring through the Nine Heavens!"

Young Master Long Shaowu, Young Master Long Shaogong, Dragon Sound Pavilion, and others all had exhilarating joy on their faces.

As for the Chu Family, the head of the Chu Family, Chu Xionghe, who was only in his forties but looked much older, didn't bring many people. Chu Xionghe only had a twelve or thirteen-year-old child by his side.

"Uncle, is this Mad Son-in-law of the Hong Family the one who killed Grandpa Chu?" the young child from the Chu Family asked.

"Exactly, it is him!" Chu Xionghe replied.

"Why did you still ask me to take him as a master?" the child asked.

"Because your Grandpa Chu made a mistake; we can't blame others for being ruthless. Having you become his disciple is that person's idea?"

"So it was the Mad Son-in-law of the Hong Family's idea?"

"Indeed. Let's just wait and see today. If he wins, then you will join his ranks, diligently practice martial arts, and he said you have one chance to challenge him for revenge!"

The Chu Family's child, tilting his head high, asked, "If he agreed to take me under his wing and promised to teach me martial arts, why does he still let me seek revenge against him? Isn't that contradictory?"

After hearing this, Chu Xionghe shook his head and bitterly smiled, "Even I don't know. Such a person probably never plays by the rules."

The Chu Family child quickly followed with another question, "Uncle Chu, do you think he can win today?"

Chu Xionghe glanced toward the Long Family and muttered with a sigh, "Hard to say, after all, it's the Long Family, after all, he is the Leader of the Martial Alliance in Jiangdu, touted as a Great Grandmaster!"

Just at that moment, the previously noisy martial arts gymnasium suddenly quieted down, everyone turned their heads toward the entrance.

Then they saw a young girl, limping, pushing a wheelchair slowly into the room. A young man sat in the wheelchair, looking straight ahead with a calm gaze.

Following behind the wheelchair was a young man in his late twenties, dressed in black. He was Seventeen!

"It's him, the Mad Son-in-law of the Hong Family, Ye Feng, he has come, he really did come!" someone in the crowd suddenly exclaimed in a low, excited voice.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Hard to believe, this Mad Son-in-law of the Hong Family actually dared to show up. Does he not fear death?" a member of the Lei Family sneered.

Long Shaowu walked straight up to Ye Feng and sneered word by word, "Yesterday, you broke my younger brother's leg. My grandfather said today he will cripple your hands as punishment."

"Furthermore, this bodyguard and follower behind you killed a Lei Family scion yesterday and maimed people from the Jiang Family; such an offense must be punished severely, with death without mercy!"

"Death without mercy?" Ye Feng laughed and shook his head with a sigh, "In this world, no one born yet dares to tell me 'death without mercy'!"

At this point, Ye Feng's gaze intensified as he said, "You're not qualified to talk to me. Where is your grandfather, the Leader of the Martial Alliance in Jiangdu, now? Tell him to roll out and see me!"

"You really have quite the audacity!"

Just then, suddenly from behind the arena came a spirited roar of anger, and following that, a white-bearded, sixty-something-year-old elder slowly stepped onto the arena. He was Long Zaitian, the family head of the Long Family and the current Leader of the Martial Alliance in Jiangdu.

Long Zaitian stood on the arena, gazing at Ye Feng with each word sneered, "You really are extremely arrogant. While the Leader of the Martial Alliance was in secluded cultivation, you caused havoc and committed crimes in the Martial Arts World. Now that I am out of secluded cultivation, there's no way I can let you continue your rampages!"

"To clean up this cancer that is you and return a clear Heaven and Earth to the Martial Dao world of Jiangdu, as the Leader of the Martial Alliance, I bear an inescapable responsibility. Last night, I have issued a Battle Challenge Letter; do you dare to accept the fight?"

Long Zaitian, standing tall on the arena, his voice like rolling thunder, appeared righteous and indignant.

Ye Feng, sitting in the wheelchair, looked at him from afar and sneered, "You, you're not qualified to challenge me. Beat my subordinate first!"

"As the Leader of the Martial Alliance in Jiangdu, you allowed the Jiang Family from the Southern River Region Jiangnan Province to run rampant in Jiangdu. You should be punished. Seventeen, go up there and break this old man's eighteen ribs!"
