Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 509 - 504: Arriving at Xuanyuan Hall, The Hall Master’s Difficulties!

At this moment, Ye Feng and his group had crossed the boundless desert, and now the group halted their steps.

In front of them, a palace-like building emerged hazily, enshrouded in a layer of black fog that gave off a mysterious aura. From a distance, they could clearly see three prominent characters written upon the towering, solid walls.

Indeed, this was the Xuanyuan Hall that everyone had been laboriously searching for through the Outer Battlefield.

"We've finally found it," Li Benzhong sighed upon seeing the walls, then thought to himself.

"Hmph, Ye Feng, you're as good as dead. I've endured your nonsense all along the way, bullying others just because you have a higher Cultivation Realm, but your doom is imminent!"

Ye Feng surveyed the towering walls in front of him, having found the legendary Xuanyuan Hall after enduring countless hardships.

He knew deep down that a fierce battle awaited him once he entered the hall.

Having unblocked more than two thousand Acupoints, even if those old fellows inside moved against him, he had the capacity to ensure his own safety.

However, he temporarily had no other plan for the people around him.

"Well, well, we'll take it one step at a time," Ye Feng thought to himself.

"Let's go, into the hall!"

No one knew who shouted, but the group of more than thirty people marched mightily towards the Xuanyuan Hall.

At this moment, the crowd successfully entered the great hall.

"Who goes there?"

Suddenly, a deep and powerful voice that made the eardrums vibrate came from deep within the hall.

Looking around, the hall seemed empty; silence pervaded.

"Great-Uncle Zeng, junior Li Benzhong requests an audience!" Li Benzhong suddenly knelt down and shouted into the darkness.

There was no response from the depths of the hall.

Soon after, various Sect members started to announce their affiliations.

"Shasha shasha!" Suddenly, a gust of wind blew through the hall, and two silhouettes slowly became visible in the darkness.

"How did you few younglings come to be here?" asked an imposing old man dressed in a Dao Robe with penetrating speech.

The old man hailed from the Confucian Sect and was now the Sixth Hall Master of the Xuanyuan Hall.

"Junior Void Horizon, along with the disciples of the Confucian Sect, pays respect to the Sixth Hall Master!"

The leader of the Holy Mansion of Confucian Sect and the Confucian disciples all knelt down and paid their respects.

"Confucian Sect?" The Sixth Hall Master murmured, then with a wave of his Great Hand, he said, "Rise, it's no easy feat for Confucian Sect disciples to find this place!"

"Thank you, Sixth Hall Master!"

The group from the Holy Mansion of Confucian Sect all stood up. Although there wasn't much relation between this Hall Master and their Confucian Sect, the proper respects were still due.

No sooner had the Confucian Sect finished their respect, than the leader of the Buddhist Sect and his disciples knelt to pay their respects.

"Junior Buddhist Sect Guang Chan pays respects to the Fifth Hall Master!"

The leader of the Buddhist Sect, along with the Buddhist disciples, paid respects to the Fifth Hall Master.

"Paying respects to the Sixth Hall Master!"

The group of bald-headed disciples from the Buddhist Sect smartly paid their respects to their own Fifth Hall Master and then to the Sixth Hall Master.

"Hahaha, today is indeed lively!"

At this moment, another booming voice echoed from the depths of the hall.

Several strong presences rapidly approached their direction.

In just a few seconds, three elderly men appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

These three elders all occupied high positions.

"Thump!"

"Junior Li Benzhong pays respects to Great-Grandfather, the Third Hall Master, and all the Hall Masters!" Li Benzhong bowed reverently, not daring to lift his head.

The Third Hall Master glanced indifferently at Li Benzhong who was kneeling on the ground.

"Great-Grandfather? I ask you, are you a member of the Li Family?"

"Junior indeed hails from the Imperial Capital's Li Family!"

Seeing Li Benzhong acknowledge their common origin, the Third Hall Master's expression was indecipherable, somewhere between pleasure and anger.

"Hahaha, get up, get up!"

The Third Hall Master immediately instructed Li Benzhong to rise, and Li Benzhong slowly got up from the ground, overwhelmed by the honor.

"Thank you, Great-Grandfather!" To think that after so many years away from home, Great-Grandfather was still concerned about his family, Li Benzhong's expectations were not wrong.

"This Hall Master never imagined that after more than a hundred years, a member of his family would come seeking him. It wasn't easy for you!"

The Third Hall Master was clearly somewhat pleased.

"Hehe, who would have thought our Xuanyuan Hall would be so bustling today with so many arrivals?"

"My lord!" Shadow was slightly worried; now they were truly in the tiger's den.

Ye Feng raised his hand slightly to signal Shadow not to panic and to act according to the situation.

He was, of course, aware that the situation he was about to be in would be extremely awkward. Along the way here, he had no idea how many people he had offended.

Each of them harbored their own ulterior motives, especially Li Benzhong — Ye Feng could sense the man was brewing a major conspiracy.

But Ye Feng was not afraid at all; if he were, he would have never risked the many dangers to come to this Xuanyuan Hall.

Besides, being afraid would be useless; he would have to face it sooner or later.

"You few youngsters did not have an easy time finding this place, not at all. Crossing the Outer Battlefield, you must have acquired quite a few treasures, haven't you? So, what have you found?"

The Lord of the Three Halls continued to speak.

Li Benzhong instantly grasped the implication of his great-grandfather's words and stepped forward to volunteer himself.

"Great-Uncle Zeng, on this expedition, we indeed acquired a great many treasures, even a dragon egg from the Outer Battlefield which we originally planned to present to you as a tribute, but it was embezzled by our team leader!"

Li Benzhong turned his head to look in Ye Feng's direction.

"Li Benzhong, don't slander others; what dragon egg? That's a sheer fabrication!" Xiao Chuanqi pointed at Li Benzhong and yelled furiously.

"Li Benzhong, I've tolerated you for a long time, letting go of the little tricks you played behind our back, but now you even frame our lord!"

Shadow was also enraged.

If it weren't for Ye Feng's previous orders, would Li Benzhong, such a petty person, have lived to arrive at Xuanyuan Hall under the sword of his?

The leaders of both the Confucian and Buddhist Sects exchanged a look, then clasped their hands and bowed to say.

"Lord of the Hall, it is indeed true, as the situation in the Outer Battlefield is well known to you, lords. There are many secret treasures. We had found a dragon egg in the Flying Dragon Mountain Range, but it was privately seized by our team leader, Ye Feng!"

The Confucian Sect leader spoke righteously indignant.

"Indeed, Lord of the Hall, Ye Feng used his powerful Cultivation Realm to oppress us, not only that, but he also embezzled the treasures we all worked hard to obtain. We ask the lords of the Hall to stand for us!"

The Buddhist Sect leader echoed the sentiment.

Xiao Chuanqi and Shadow were so angry they trembled all over, wishing they could slap the three to death.

The other sect leaders quickly followed, accusing Ye Feng of his various misdeeds along the way.

Li Benzhong was very pleased in his heart. The dragon egg was a rare treasure - he didn't believe the lords of the Hall wouldn't be interested.

"Hmph, Ye, you've given me such a hard time on the road; it's time for you to pay it back!"

Li Benzhong sneered triumphantly inwardly.

At this moment, the person in question, Ye Feng, was not worried at all, looking at the sect members with an indifferent and cold expression, his tone icy.

"Hmph, you keep saying I embezzled treasures, but do you have any evidence? As the leader responsible for bringing you here safely, this is how you repay me. If I had known it would come to this, I'd have let you die at the hands of monsters long ago!"

"Indeed, our lord has been diligent and led from the front, facing countless monsters while crossing the Outer Battlefield. If not for our team leader, how could we have safely reached Xuanyuan Hall to meet you, Lords of the Hall? By now, you would probably have been finished!" Sima Zhantian exclaimed.

To have safely brought these sect members to Xuanyuan Hall without a word of thanks is one thing, but to have them turn around and bite back is another.

Even a dog knows to be grateful for being raised.

"Hmph!" Li Benzhong chuckled coldly, "Whether you took it or not, Ye, you know very well in your heart. Just hand over the dragon egg promptly!"

Li Benzhong was relentless. Now that he had the backing of his great-grandfather, would Ye Feng dare to kill him in front of the several Hall Masters?

That was clearly not going to happen.

"Hehe," Ye Feng still sneered, "You keep claiming that I took the dragon egg, but do you have any proof? If you can produce evidence to prove that I, Someone Named Ye, took it, the lords of the Hall may punish me however they wish; I, Ye Feng, will not protest!"

Li Benzhong had seen with his own eyes Ye Feng taking the dragon egg; now that Ye Feng denied it, he and the leaders of the Confucian and Buddhist Sects were in a dilemma.

What were they to do, seeing with their own eyes that Ye Feng had taken it, and now Ye Feng was simply not admitting it, left them with no recourse.

You want evidence? Since I am innocent, I'm not afraid of my shadow being crooked. If you don't believe me, you can come search me!" Ye Feng continued to smile lightly.

Searching the body, now there's a good idea; only by searching could it be proven whether Ye Feng had indeed taken the dragon egg or not.

The dragon egg was indeed taken by Ye Feng, but a search would reveal nothing; the egg now lay in his own space ring.

"A search?" Li Benzhong laughed loudly, "Ye, these are your own words!"

Li Benzhong personally began to search Ye Feng's belongings.

Having seen for himself that it was Ye Feng who took it while they distracted the great dragon and suffered significant losses, Ye Feng took the opportunity to embezzle the dragon egg, such a treasure. How could they swallow this outrage? They must make Ye Feng pay the price.

Otherwise, how could those fellow sect members who died rest in peace?

The proposal to search was agreed upon by everyone.

If they could find the dragon egg on Ye Feng's person, then how could he continue to deny it?

"Li Benzhong, make sure you search thoroughly!"

The leader of the Confucian Sect advised.

Li Benzhong slowly approached Ye Feng, who spread his arms to signal that Li Benzhong should search him.

"Hmph, Ye, weren't you so cocky before? How come you can't say anything now? Don't worry, I will ask my Great-Uncle Zeng to spare you a whole corpse!"

Li Benzhong said triumphantly, and immediately began to search Ye Feng.

After searching for a while, he found no dragon egg, and given the size, one would definitely notice if it was hidden in a pocket.

After an unsuccessful first search, Li Benzhong continued his search.

Still, he found nothing.

"Impossible, I clearly saw you take the dragon egg, quickly tell where you've hidden that treasure!"

Li Benzhong pointed directly at Ye Feng and demanded angrily.

Ye Feng maintained his composed facade and countered, "Li Benzhong, you insist that I, Ye Feng, took the dragon egg, yet you found nothing upon searching me. Have you found it? No, because I've never even seen the dragon egg, let alone embezzled it."

Seeing Ye Feng's smug expression infuriated Li Benzhong, would he be where he was today without Ye Feng?

Without finding any evidence, Li Benzhong still insisted that it was Ye Feng who took the dragon egg.

The other sect members also sided with Li Benzhong, having been highly displeased with Ye Feng on the way, who had made them suffer using his superior Cultivation Realm.

"Great-Uncle Zeng, I beg you to see the truth, risking my life, I guarantee I have not spoken a single false word. I saw with my own eyes he took the dragon egg while we were engaged with the monsters, I beg you, Great-Uncle Zeng, to realize this!"

Lacking evidence, they could only rely on the Lord of the Three Halls.

The third Hall Master's slightly cold gaze turned to Ye Feng, his tone indifferent.

"Youngster, I'll give you three breaths' time to hand over the dragon egg."
