Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 615 - 610 Everyone’s Denunciation
Old Man Huang Niu glanced at Yu Feiyu and said with a faint smile, "I've lived long enough; such a small parting need not be so melancholic. As your master, I've taught you everything I should have this past month. After you arrive at the Outer Battlefield, remember to always be cautious. The Outer Battlefield is not as simple as you imagine, and crises lurk everywhere. At any moment and any place, an Alien Beast may appear."
"Once you enter the Outer Battlefield, you can go directly to Xuanyuan Hall. If you get to Xuanyuan Hall, look for Seventh Hall Master Zhao Xuanzhen of the Utility Pavilion. That young fellow is alright. Don't trust too much in others—Zhao Xuanzhen is relatively trustworthy."
Old Man Huang Niu spoke slowly.
If Ye Feng had heard this, he would surely have been shocked. Zhao Xuanzhen was none other than the father of Grand Sect Leader Zhao Gongming and was over a hundred years old, yet Old Man Huang Niu called him a young fellow!
Hong Qingyan and Yu Feiyu had never heard of Zhao Xuanzhen before, they just knew that there was a senior member of the Utility Pavilion, which was a bit surprising to them.
Next, Old Man Huang Niu briefly explained some matters about the Outer Battlefield. He talked for a while, then got up.
"Let's go, I've said all that needs to be said. I'll take you out now. If you leave on your own, you won't be able to make it out," said Old Man Huang Niu with a smile.
Yu Feiyu knew full well how difficult it was to leave the Northwest Little Mountain Village; although she had been led in by Ye Feng once before, she was a bit apprehensive about trying to depart on her own. One careless move could trigger the numerous machinations and Formations at the entrance.
At first, Hong Qingyan didn't quite understand, but as Old Man Huang Niu led them out of the Northwest Little Mountain Village, she looked back at the cave entrance with lingering fear in her heart.
This was undoubtedly the most careful journey she had ever taken!
"All right, you may leave now," said Old Man Huang Niu while standing inside the cave entrance, smiling at the two women.
People from the Northwest Little Mountain Village are not allowed to step into the Mortal World at will; it's a rule. Thus, at this moment, Old Man Huang Niu just stood at the entrance, not stepping out.

Yu Feiyu looked back at the aged figure, her eyes slightly reddening: "Master, please accept your disciple's bow!"
Yu Feiyu bent her knees, intending to kneel and show her gratitude to Old Man Huang Niu, but then an invisible force held her up, preventing her from kneeling further.
"That's enough, it's not time for the real parting yet; no need for this. Go now, and be careful," said Old Man Huang Niu casually, turning his body and slowly disappearing from the entrance.
Yu Feiyu's heart jolted as she mulled over the words Old Man Huang Niu had just spoken, whispering to herself, "It's not time for the real parting yet..."
The word 'real' made Yu Feiyu feel as if she had caught onto something. She soon suppressed her emotions, and at this point, Old Man Huang Niu had vanished and no longer had the power to prevent her from kneeling.
Yu Feiyu knelt towards the cave entrance and kowtowed deeply, whispering, "Master, I will come back to see you."
Hong Qingyan stood by silently. After a moment, Yu Feiyu rose, her expression much relieved, and the two women flew away from the cave entrance.
At that moment, at the entrance to the Northwest Little Mountain Village, the elder riding a bull glanced back in the direction of the cave entrance and murmured with a slight smile, "This parting, when we meet again, it may indeed be time to say goodbye."
After saying so, the elder rode the bull back into the little mountain village, his figure tinged with lonely desolation.
...
Outer Battlefield, the city.
Ye Feng and the others had already entered the city, which was conspicuously different from other cities as it had been modified.
While other cities had stone houses, this city lacked them; there were no trading streets either, only ten gigantic martial arts platforms at the city's heart. Each platform was surrounded by flickering lights, clearly indicating that Needle Techniques had been laid out.
The areas around the ten martial platforms had been designated for the Four Great Powers, with only one large platform without any other structures.
The Three Great Powers had already occupied three platforms, and now the First Hall Master brought the people of Xuanyuan Hall up onto the last remaining platform.
Since Xuanyuan Hall was the last to enter, many eyes turned towards them at that moment. Bu Fengning and the recently arrived Mu Chen had already drawn quite a bit of attention.
"Is that Bu Fengning of Xuanyuan Hall!?"
"It really is him. There's been no news of him lately; I thought we wouldn't see him at this talent list martial arts competition."
"I reckon he didn't plan on participating in this talent competition before. If not for the change in rules, we might not have seen him at all."
"That's true, it's rumored that he entered Ice Prison Valley. Is that even true? Has anyone really come out alive from Ice Prison Valley, especially as he's only a Grandmaster of the Golden Core Realm!"
"Who knows? It's hard to say who started that rumor. Maybe it's just posturing. Even a Great Power of the Yin-Yang Realm might not be able to leave Ice Prison Valley, right?"
"Didn't Bu Fengning make a move in the last Talent List competition? Rumors had it he had the strength to vie for the top spot on the Talent List back then, but he missed out due to secluded cultivation, is that true?"
"Impossible, our Qingya from the Yin-Yang Temple is the indisputable number one, even Bu Fengning wouldn't be able to shake Lord Qingya's status!"
The one who said this was a Half-Step Golden Core from Fusang Kingdom's Yin-Yang Temple.
Right next door, a Half-Step Golden Core from the Xuanyuan Hall sneered, "What rubbish number one. Bu Fengning was already advancing towards the Golden Core Realm three years ago. Isn't it clear who is stronger? In terms of talent, naturally it's our Xuanyuan Hall's Bu Fengning who is stronger."
In the distance, a Half-Step Golden Core Realm wizard from the Wizard Alliance of Snow Wolf Country scoffed through the air, "What Qingya, what Bu Fengning, how could they possibly be a match for our Lord Ke Li? If it weren't for Lord Ke Li's disdain for striving for the so-called first place in the last competition, that title would have long been taken by our Lord Ke Li from the Wizard Alliance."
...
The Three Great Powers each had supporters for their own prodigy. Naturally, having the first place on the Talent List was an honor for their own power. The various factions never saw eye to eye, and many people were concerned about the rivalry between prodigies, all hoping that the title would fall upon their own power.
"That guy in the green robe, is that Mu Tian!?"
A Half-Step Golden Core from the Western Vampire Divine Court clenched his teeth and stared intensely at Mu Chen amidst the crowd from Xuanyuan Hall.
Hearing Mu Tian's name, many turned to look, with eyes widening swiftly and fire seeming to blaze in the eyes of numerous Half-Step Golden Core Realm onlookers.
"It really is that guy, Mu Tian!"
"Damn it, it is him, I was once plundered by this guy. He's shameless, hitting from behind and knocking me out cold. When I woke up, he had even stripped off my clothes!"
"Stripped clothes? I damn near had my wings plucked by this guy!"
"No way, we must settle accounts with this guy!"
"Right, we have to confront him, we can't let the robbery be forgotten!"
Indignation was rife among the Half-Step Golden Cores from all the great powers, and even the Grandmasters of the Golden Core Realm were muttering curses. They too had been robbed by Mu Tian during their Half-Step Golden Core period, only they were the ones who had recently advanced to become Grandmasters of the Golden Core Realm. One by one, they rose into the air, more than a dozen of them, and moved towards Xuanyuan Hall's side.
Some in Xuanyuan Hall were still confused; they had not noticed the preceding conversation and were baffled to see people from each of the powers approaching.
Then, a Vampire King Duke, flapping his wings behind his back, gritted his teeth and said, "Xuanyuan Hall, hand over Mu Tian!"
"Right, Xuanyuan Hall, hand over Mu Tian!"
"Mu Tian has done outrageous acts in the Outer Battlefield, looting and robbing, Xuanyuan Hall must hand him over to provide justice for us!"
At this moment, people from the Three Great Powers unexpectedly united in enmity and began to denounce Mu Tian.
This sudden turn of events left many spectators dumbfounded.
Swish!
Gazes turned towards Mu Tian, even Ye Feng and others couldn't help but look at Mu Tian, clad in a green robe.
Chi Jark couldn't help but whisper, "Holy cow, Mu Tian really has clout, getting so many people to confront him publicly—should I be envious?"
Ye Feng was equally surprised. He hadn't expected Mu Tian to have become so notorious in such a short time within the Outer Battlefield, to the extent that so many strong figures would accuse him openly and demand to settle scores with him. He didn't know whether to feel happy or sad for Mu Tian.
"Envious, huh? Why don't you replace him and sort it out? You'll be even more in the limelight."
Xiao Rulong whispered with a sly laugh.
Chi Jark immediately coughed lightly, "Never mind, not envious, I was just joking."
While the notoriety might look grand, having to face so many strong figures was a bit too dangerous.
At this time, the Great Powers of the Yin-Yang Realm watched with amusement as the accusers voiced their complaints, making no move to stop them. They let the people go on with their accusations; the target was Xuanyuan Hall, which they were pleased to see.
The person in question, Mu Tian, eyed the accusers and immediately ducked into the crowd of Xuanyuan Hall, pointing at them and shouting, "What are you doing? This is not the place for your vendettas. The Talent List competition is about to commence; don't cause trouble and disrupt the event."
"Hey, hey, hey, I say the seniors of your respective powers, can you discipline your successors a bit? Causing a scene in public, is that proper?"
Mu Tian directly threw the accusation back at the Great Powers of the Yin-Yang Realm.
The Great Powers of the Yin-Yang Realm all had cold expressions, and Divine Master Tanaka from the Yin-Yang Temple even looked straight at the First Hall Master, "First Hall Master, it seems someone from your Xuanyuan Hall has provoked public outrage. Shouldn't you address the matter?"
As he spoke, the other Great Powers of the Yin-Yang Realm also turned to the First Hall Master.
