Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law

Ye Feng entered the courtyard.

The courtyard was not large, containing only three small bamboo buildings, the ground floor of which was empty, with living quarters above due to the region's humid climate.

"Where is the King of the Southern Territory?" Ye Feng turned his head and asked the already-bound Xiao Jingyuan.

Xiao Jingyuan did not answer at all but simply snorted, "You brat, how dare you impersonate the Northern Border King, kidnap this Domain Lord, and even kill my subordinates. Now you have the audacity to break into the King of the Southern Territory's place of secluded cultivation, you have committed a heinous crime!"

"Surrender immediately, or it won't just be you facing punishment, but your entire family will be implicated as well!"

Ye Feng's gaze hardened, and he waved his hand, "Break his front teeth for me. If he dares spout more nonsense, break his limbs!"

Sima Zhantian said nothing and with a punch, greeted Xiao Jingyuan, shattering several of his front teeth on the spot, causing him to wail again and again in pain.

The Old Divine Doctor Wu Zhong from the Hundred Herbs Garden, seeing that the situation was unfavorable, attempted to sneak away but was caught by Xiao Chuanqi.

"Old sir, things are yet to be clarified. Why the hurry to leave?" Ye Feng could not help sneering, waved his hand and said, "Follow me, let's go see the King of the Southern Territory together!"

In the front house, the King of the Southern Territory was not there; Ye Feng then immediately entered the inner house.

This room was extremely dark and damp. Upon entering, everyone could feel a piercingly cold chill rush towards them.

"What is going on here?" Ye Feng's brows suddenly furrowed, further solidifying the suspicion in his heart.

The layout of the sitting room at the front of the house was simple, but direct. Beyond the sitting room, further inside was a bedroom that was even colder. The chill was more intense.

On the large bed in the bedroom lay an old man, as thin as a skeleton, with an exceptionally pale face, so emaciated that he was nearly skin and bones.

Ye Feng could hardly believe his eyes; the old man on the bed was actually the King of the Southern Territory!

In fact, the King of the Southern Territory was not old; he was only in his forties, having ascended to the throne after the passing of the Old Southern Territory King only five years ago.

Yet the man lying on the bed appeared almost lifeless, with extremely coarse skin filled with wrinkles, looking like an old man of seventy or eighty years of age.

"Southern King, I am Ye Feng, the Northern Border King, who has come specially to visit you!" Suppressing the shock and anger in his heart, Ye Feng slowly pushed his wheelchair forward.

But the King of the Southern Territory lying on the bed had already passed out and couldn't hear anything. His gaunt body didn't even react at all.

Xia Lengchan, Zhuge Yu, and Li Jingang all had red rims around their eyes as they looked at the scene, dropped to their knees, and cried out, "King of the Southern Territory, what on earth happened? Didn't you send word to the outside that you were going into secluded cultivation to heal and make a final breakthrough? How did you end up like this?"

Ye Feng couldn't help but sneer, "Don't you have brains? Secluded cultivation for five years without allowing anyone near, does that sound reasonable to you?"

Only then did Xia Lengchan and the others start with a shock, realizing that something had befallen the King of the Southern Territory and that he may have been exploited by certain individuals.

Li Jingang suddenly stood up, glaring at Xiao Jingyuan and demanded, "Speak! What exactly is going on? Why has the Southern King become like this? Was it you who did something behind the scenes?"

Zhuge Yu also snorted coldly, "No wonder. In the past two years, I have sought an audience numerous times, but the Southern King gave no response, and the eight guards at the door firmly blocked my way. Yet you, Xiao Jingyuan, have been coming and going freely for the past five years, without ever mentioning a word about the Southern King's condition.

It seems to me you clearly have an ulterior motive!"

"Nonsense, what do you mean the Domain Lord has an ulterior motive? Are you implying that I intend to control the Southern King?"

Struggling, Xiao Jingyuan yelled, "Five years ago, the Southern King was injured and returned, which is known to all. At that time, in the presence of many commanders, the Southern King himself announced he would go into secluded cultivation to heal. Let me tell you, if not for the Divine Doctor of our Hundred Herbs Realm treating him over these years, the Southern King would have long since died.

And now you dare to turn around and slander me, the Domain Lord? Outrageous!"

Xia Lengchan said, "If the Southern King was seriously ill, why didn't you inform us? Why keep it a secret?"

Xiao Jingyuan snorted, "That was the Southern King's wish. Have you not considered what would happen if this news got out? The Southern Territory might be thrown into chaos. Not to mention the thoughts that might arise among the Great Commanders, other Domain Lords would probably become restless, and even the Gu&Poison Sect in the Hundred Thousand Mountains would likely become more rampant.

And let's not forget about Ancient Yue Kingdom at the Strong Frontier!"

On the surface, Xiao Jingyuan, the Domain Lord of the Hundred Herbs Realm, seemed utterly righteous and indignant.

But just then, Ye Feng's nose twitched. He suddenly caught a strange scent, a faint and unusual fragrance.

Logically, there should be no way for this place to naturally produce such a fragrance. At that moment, he understood everything, and it also confirmed that his previous suspicions were not wrong!

Without saying much, Ye Feng reached out with his Great Hand, ready to examine the Southern King's body.

Seeing this, Xiao Jingyuan immediately shouted, "How dare you, you unknown youngster, to meddle with the Southern King? If something goes wrong, it's a death sentence for you!"

"Break his arm!" Ye Feng ordered, and Sima Zhantian immediately took action, breaking Xiao Jingyuan's right arm on the spot, causing him to howl in pain once again.

At this, the old Divine Doctor of the Hundred Herbs Garden, Wu Zhong, inexplicably tensed up and subconsciously wanted to step forward, but was stopped by a secret signal from Xiao Jingyuan.

Ye Feng first checked the Southern King's pulse, then examined his eyes and tongue. Although the process looked like that of an ordinary traditional medical examination, there was no change in his expression throughout. Experience tales at empire

The old Divine Doctor Wu Zhong, seeing this, sneered inwardly, "A kid who knows nothing about medicine, you're unlikely to discover anything of significance!"

However, what this so-called old Divine Doctor Wu Zhong did not know was that not only was Ye Feng skilled in medicine, but his medical skills even surpassed those of the Valley Master of the Valley of the Medicine King, whose reputation far exceeded that of the Hundred Herbs Garden.

Otherwise, Ye Feng would not have been able to persuade the Valley of the Medicine King to establish the Divine Doctor Sect in the kingdom by himself!

After a brief examination, Ye Feng understood everything. Apart from the unusual scent in the room, there was something abnormal about the Southern King's tongue—it wasn't that there was an issue with his tongue itself, but rather with the residue that remained on it.

This sort of residue should be the remnants left over from food, which means there was something wrong with what the Southern King had been eating.

"On a daily basis, who is responsible for the Southern King's food and lodging?" Ye Feng suddenly turned around and asked sternly.

The old Divine Doctor Wu Zhong replied, "It's me. After the Southern King fell ill, he specifically named me to come over."

"So it's you. Seize him!" Ye Feng abruptly ordered coldly.
