The Strongest Urban Son-in-law

Chapter 146: Chapter 144: The Fall of the Lu Family

Lu Kang, Li Linfeng, Li Xue’er were thoroughly shocked, their inner turmoil rising time and again, utterly uncontrollable.

Despite their every attempt to overestimate Ye Feng, each time they ended up realizing they had far underestimated him. Ye Feng was simply beyond their ability to fathom.

”This... this...” Li Linfeng stuttered, at a complete loss for words.

Li Linfeng originally thought that Ye Feng had to be from Longdu, belonging to either a top-tier affluent family or a second-tier prominent household. However, Li Linfeng now realized how wrong he was. What top-ranked affluent families, what second-tier?

In such a short span of time, Ye Feng had summoned such a powerful armed force here.

Even the top-tier households couldn’t boast such terrifying strength, could they?

Upon this thought, Li Linfeng viewed Ye Feng’s silhouette with immense respect, as it suddenly seemed towering. No wonder Ye Feng remained calm and detached every time he encountered anyone.

It was because, in Ye Feng’s view, these individuals were too insignificant, incapable of stirring the slightest ripple in his heart.

At this moment, Li Xue’er’s admiration for Ye Feng in her eyes was beyond words.

Li Xue’er, just like Liu Keke, was completely conquered by Ye Feng, viewing him as if he were a Heavenly God.

”Lu Hangfeng, you’ve fabricated your own armed force and overstepped Dragon Country’s limits, do you concede your guilt?” Ye Feng asked indifferently.

Lu Hangfeng’s face was ashen as he nodded, ”I admit my guilt...”

”Liu Mu!” Ye Feng called out.

”Present!” Liu Mu stepped forward.

”Escort these individuals to the courtroom, incarcerate them in prison!” Ye Feng ordered.

”Yes!” Liu Mu nodded, then led the Southern Border warriors to forcibly load the captives into the vehicles.

In no time, all were taken away, with Liu Mu and the others departing.

”It’s over...” Lu Kang, watching everything unfold, was filled with deep sentiments; he wasn’t distressed.

Since Lu Hangfeng had violated the law and Ye Feng had promised to spare his life, Lu Hangfeng wouldn’t die. His second half of life would just have to be spent behind bars.

Lu Hangfeng had brought this upon himself; no one else was to blame.

”Let’s go...” Ye Feng said calmly, shaking his head as if the event had never occurred, unable to evoke even the slightest emotion within him.

Dealing with a power like the Lu Family was all too easy for Ye Feng. He could flatten it single-handedly if he pleased.

However, Ye Feng did not wish to take lives, hence he opted to use the Southern Border warriors to intimidate the Lu Family.

Li Linfeng and the others followed Ye Feng, with Li Linfeng resolving in his heart.

To Li Linfeng, Ye Feng was like a grand celestial tree. Whatever transpired, he’d cling to Ye Feng without faltering. Even if the sky fell, he’d stand with Ye Feng, never again harboring any doubts about him.

Back at the hotel, Ye Feng questioned, ”The trip to the Spirit Stone mine, what’s the plan?”

Lu Kang, with a look of repentance in his eyes, stood up. ”Big Brother Ye Feng, rest assured, I won’t let you come here in vain. I know the Spirit Stone mine very well, and I can take you there myself.”

”It’s just that my father failed to clarify that the Spirit Stone mine is quite special and not something we could directly mine. There, within the Chiyou Divine Cave, are lying the Spirit Stones. Originally, we were about to set off; I wanted to let you understand by yourselves once there. However, given the circumstances, I might as well explain now,” Lu Kang stated.

”Oh? Tell me, what’s happening exactly?” Ye Feng peered curiously at Lu Kang.

Lu Kang nodded, ”Here’s the situation: Nanhong City is on the frontier of Dragon Country, bordering the countries X and Y. The boundary is marked by the vast mountain ranges, home to two Miao Clan villages—the White Miao Clan and the Black Miao. They share a Chiyou Divine Cave; that’s our Spirit Stone mine.

The White Miao Clan and the Black Miao Clan live quite isolated, mining one Spirit Stone from the cave each year, which could sell for billions—enough for them to live on. But, not all from the Black Miao and White Miao Clans have the privilege to retrieve the Spirit Stones.

Each year, the Black Miao Clan and White Miao Clan hold a contest within their groups, with only the victors granted the right to extract a Spirit Stone. Our goal is to communicate with both clans, gain their consent, then proceed to mine the stones since they only take one annually and the Chiyou Divine Cave surely still holds many!”

After hearing Lu Kang’s words, Ye Feng nodded, ”So that’s the case. I’d heard of the isolated Miao Clan in the Southern Border, skilled in witchcraft and Worm Skills yet never had the chance to meet them. I’m looking forward to this visit!”

”Alright then, I’ll take you there tomorrow,” Lu Kang offered with a smile.

”Good, we’ll set off early in the morning!” affirmed Ye Feng.

A night passed without incident, and next morning, having had breakfast at seven, they embarked on their journey.

The previous day, Feiyun had deliberately led them on a detour, hoping to exhaust them and lower their guard. Lu Kang was puzzled by Feiyun’s actions but justified that the usual path was dangerous.

However, this time was different. Lu Kang took them on the regular route, quickening their progress significantly.

After a day’s travel, by noon on the third day, they saw a village atop an opposing mountain. There were houses halfway up the mountain’s side, a large clearing with basketball courts, gym equipment, table tennis tables, and so forth.

An electric fence enclosed the perimeter of the village.

Nearly every family’s abode was lavishly built, each a standalone villa.

Pointing to the White Miao Clan’s habitation, Lu Kang informed Ye Feng, ”Big Brother Ye Feng, look, that’s the White Miao Clan’s village!”

Li Xue’er expressed amazement, ”I assumed their village would be like those on TV, with wooden fences and houses built from timber. I never expected it to be so modernized!”

Lu Kang smiled faintly, ”Of course, they lead secluded lives in their village, but that does not mean they are completely ignorant of the outside world.”
