The Strongest Urban Son-in-law

Chapter 1692: Chapter 1720: Conclusion [2 Updates]

Everyone was stunned. They hadn’t expected that the terrifying sword qi was actually unleashed by a strong figure from the Daoist academy.

At this moment, the Sword Palace lord’s face was extremely grim; he hadn’t anticipated Qingyi’s strength to be so fearsome.

Even though the Sword Palace lord didn’t have the confidence to defeat Qingyi, it was unexpected that Qingyi only left a soul split and avatar in the Daoist academy, yet his strength was already so formidable. At this moment, several top experts of the Sword Palace gathered together.

”Palace Master, what exactly is going on?” The experts from the Sword Palace looked at the Sword Palace lord in confusion.

The lord of the Sword Palace wore a grim expression, his body emitting a strong killing intent, which seemed to devour the surrounding air. The air kept twisting as everyone faced the Sword Palace lord, their bodies trembling involuntarily.

”Have those headed to the Daoist academy return, and do not act against Ye Feng for now,” the Sword Palace lord said with a somber expression.

Upon hearing the Sword Palace lord’s words, everyone was taken aback, their expressions somewhat anxious as they said, ”Palace Master, if they return now, won’t we be wasting resources by opening the pathway to the Spirit Martial Continent?”

”What else can we do? There is a soul split of Qingyi within the Daoist academy. We have no idea when Qingyi’s avatar will dissipate. Even I may not be able to compete against Qingyi. Should we send them to the Daoist academy to die? I think we should wait for the master to contact us; the master surely has a way to deal with Qingyi in the Daoist academy!” the Sword Palace lord said coldly.

If outsiders were present at this time, they would be shocked to hear the Sword Palace lord’s words.

The lord of the Sword Palace, a superforce in the Holy Land, could be considered the number one person in this region of the Star River. Yet, he still had a master and was merely a subordinate, which shows how terrifying the master of the Sword Palace lord truly is.

At this moment, the Sword Palace elder said, ”Palace Master, we may not need to have them return. Although Ye Feng is currently in the Daoist academy and has the protection of the academy’s grandmaster, he can’t stay in the academy forever—why not open the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss in advance? At that time, I don’t believe Ye Feng can resist the temptation and will remain in the Daoist academy indefinitely!”

The Sword Palace lord nodded after hearing the elder’s words, ”Your idea is good. If that’s the case, you will handle this matter. Open the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss; how long would you need? I will fully support you.”

The elder of the Sword Palace pondered for a while and then said, ”Palace Master, give me two months’ time, but I need one hundred thousand supreme-grade Dao crystals and the assistance of two elders; otherwise, it would be too difficult for me alone!”

”Approved!” The Sword Palace lord did not hesitate at all and directly consented to the Sword Palace elder...

Within the Daoist academy, Grandmaster Qingyi looked at the surrounding people and said, ”It’s all over, everyone disperse...”

At this time, everyone still wore bewildered expressions; clearly, they hadn’t expected events to develop to such a state.

To think that the dignified dean of the Daoist academy died like this, and a mysterious giant eye appeared—all of this made the people feel like they were dreaming, so unrealistic. Subsequently, Grandmaster Qingyi flashed a light and returned to the Life and Death Pavilion.

Ye Feng returned to the location of the number one Spirit Gathering Array in the outer court of the Daoist academy. Although the array was damaged, Ye Feng easily repaired the number one Spirit Gathering Array and resumed his cultivation.

After the fierce battle, Ye Feng sustained severe injuries and needed to heal quickly.

Time flew by, and half a month had passed. This time, Ye Feng took half a month to fully recover from his injuries without leaving any hidden dangers, feeling that breakthroughs were becoming increasingly difficult. Earlier, Ye Feng needed one hundred thousand top-grade Dao crystals for a breakthrough, but now he requires one million top-grade Dao crystals.

The massive quantity is one thing, but fundamentally stabilizing his foundation consumes a lot of time. Ye Feng estimated that it would take at least a year to completely stabilize his foundation without relying on external forces. It would take even longer to reach late stages of entering Dao.

Therefore, Ye Feng needs more Peace of Mind Pills. Although Ye Feng’s cultivation speed is already impressive, he still feels his power is seriously inadequate. His visible adversaries include Holy Fire Sect, Blue Moon Sect, and Wanda Chamber of Commerce, along with the Sword Palace from the Holy Land.

The forces from the Spirit Martial Continent, like Holy Fire Sect, are less threatening to Ye Feng, but the Sword Palace is still a significant threat. The Sword Palace has not just many warriors at the Dao Realm level but also strong figures at the Proof of Dao level.

If a Proof of Dao level expert takes action, Ye Feng stands no chance, and a single misstep could lead to his downfall.

These are just known enemies; Ye Feng still has many unknown adversaries.

Thus, Ye Feng must rapidly enhance his strength. Although Ye Feng can advance his cultivation level within a few years—already incredibly impressive compared to ordinary martial artists—

these years are still too long for Ye Feng. He must seize every opportunity to improve his power.

Ye Feng thought internally: ”It seems that I must quickly enhance my cultivation.”

Ye Feng left the Spirit Gathering Array and went to the Punishment Hall, where Guardian Liu Huayuan was currently cultivating.

Seeing Ye Feng arrive, Liu Huayuan showed a respectful expression and said, ”Greetings, Daoist God!”

Originally, Liu Huayuan believed Ye Feng, as a Dao Venerate-level powerhouse, was already incredibly impressive, but he hadn’t realized that Ye Feng surpassed his imagination as a legendary Supreme Daoist God. Despite Ye Feng being only in the mid-stage of entering Dao, his combat power was not inferior to Liu Huayuan, and even Guardian Liu Huayuan wasn’t confident of defeating Ye Feng.

Ye Feng looked at Liu Huayuan and spoke lightly, ”There’s no need for formalities, you can just call me by my name.”

”I wouldn’t dare...” Liu Huayuan shook his head. Ye Feng sighed helplessly and then said, ”In that case, call me ’sir’.”
