The Strongest Urban Son-in-law

Chapter 1223: Chapter 1240: Inquiry [4th Update]

”Herland, I greet the Light God, may the Light God illuminate the earth forever...” Herland said respectfully.

After hearing Herland’s words, the Light God displayed a kind, warm smile, like that of a benevolent father, like an elder to all, making one feel the warmth of being bathed in a spring breeze.

The Light God revealed a faint smile and said, ”Herland, I remember you. When you were born, I even held you. Do you remember?” The Light God’s voice seemed to possess a very special magical power.

It seemed that upon hearing it, one would instantly dispel all defenses in their heart against the Light God.

Herland’s eyes showed excitement, his body trembling as he said, ”Light God, of course, I remember. I didn’t expect you to remember me. I am so moved! Thank you for your grace...”

The Light God smiled slightly, ”Of course, I know. Every human in the Heavenly Demon World is my beloved child, so I remember each of you, especially you, Herland, a child favored by the gods. At just sixteen, you’ve already reached the first level of Spirit King, with extraordinary talent. You’re among the most outstanding of my many children.”

”Thank you for the compliment, Light God!” Herland was extremely excited, nearly jumping for joy.

Receiving the Light God’s praise seemed like the greatest honor in the world, making Herland incredibly excited.

”Who are you, and why don’t you kneel before the Light God!” At this moment, one of the Great Priests under the Light God glared angrily at Ye Feng, his eyes filled with rage. A terrifying pressure descended like an invisible Heavenly Waterfall, immediately pressing down on Ye Feng as if to crush him.

The ground beneath Ye Feng’s feet shattered directly, yet Ye Feng remained unaffected by the immense pressure, maintaining a relaxed and calm demeanor as he looked at the Light God.

”Light God, Brother Ye Feng is a Martial Artist from the Spirit Martial Continent, so he’s unaware of the customs here. Please do not blame him!” Herland’s eyes showed tension as he hurriedly explained.

”Spirit Martial Continent!” Upon hearing Herland’s words, everyone present, including the Light God, felt a great shock. They understood well what the Spirit Martial Continent represented. When the Spirit Martial Continent and the Heavenly Demon World clashed before, the Light God was involved, though back then, the Light God was merely a Spirit King Superpower User.

The old Light God had perished within the Spirit Martial Continent, so the new Light God was naturally aware of the terrifying nature of the Spirit Martial Continent.

Although the passage between the Heavenly Demon World and the Spirit Martial Continent had been closed, the Martial Artists from the Spirit Martial Continent still found ways to enter the Heavenly Demon World, although only one person could come each time, and only once every thirty years.

The Light God’s eyes showed a flash of surprise, then softened with a gentle smile: ”Since he is a guest from the Spirit Martial Continent, indeed, there is no need to abide by our rules here, so let’s not mention it further...”

Subsequently, the Light God could discern Ye Feng’s cultivation at a glance, which was at the Great Perfection of the Divine Realm. Such cultivation was quite rare among the strong in the Heavenly Demon World, but even the weakest among them were at the initial stage of True God.

Thus, Ye Feng did not concern the Light God at all. The Light God looked at Herland and said, ”Child, the reason I am here this time is for two matters. One is because an acquaintance of mine died; his name was the Saint. Do you know about his death?”

”The Saint! Does that mean the Heavenly Demon World’s top assassin, the Saint?” Herland’s eyes showed surprise.

It was known that the Saint, hailed as the top assassin in the Heavenly Demon World, might even be more formidable than the Light God’s four Holy Knights. Yet now, the Saint had died, which greatly surprised Herland.

”Indeed, it is he.” The Light God nodded lightly, and Herland replied helplessly, ”Light God, I’m sorry, I am unaware of the Saint’s death. I’ve been in the Heavenly Demon Great Forest for a few days and have never seen the Saint. If I knew, I would have definitely told you...”

The Light God nodded, knowing Herland wouldn’t deceive him, and continued to ask, ”Alright, then let’s talk about the next matter. I’ve lost something called the World Origin. Earlier, there was an unusual phenomenon here, likely caused by the World Origin. You should have seen it, right?”

Herland, being very innocent and knowing the Light God was the ruler of humans in the Heavenly Demon World, naturally had no intention of hiding anything, showing guilt in his eyes: ”Light God, I’m sorry, we didn’t know it was your treasure. That thing has already been absorbed by Brother Ye Feng, and I absorbed a small part myself...”

”Audacious!” Upon hearing Herland’s words, instantly, the Light God and twelve others’ expressions drastically changed.

Eight Great Priests roared in unison, and terrifying sonic booms spread across the world, shattering the Space Barrier.

”Crackling~” In an instant, the sky above was shrouded in dark clouds as thunder roared.

The terrifying sound waves were like mighty waves, seemingly about to crush Ye Feng and Herland.

Ye Feng directly shielded Herland from it; otherwise, with Herland’s initial Innate level, the roar of the eight initial-stage True Gods would have shattered him immediately, turning him into a pool of blood.

However, even though Ye Feng shielded Herland from the terrifying sound wave, Herland’s mind was still shaken, ears buzzing, and his eyes showed fear. He never expected their power to be so terrifying.

A Great Priest rebuked, ”Two ignorant mortals, daring to touch our Light God’s possessions. Kneel and admit your mistake! Are you courting death?”

Herland, who had just stood up, was immediately frightened back to the ground, trembling in fear.

However, Ye Feng’s expression remained calm and indifferent, standing firmly in place.

Seeing this scene, the four Great Priests were completely enraged, their expressions becoming extremely ferocious, as if they wanted to tear Ye Feng and Herland apart.
