The City’s Strongest Son-in-law Chapter 1218 - 1217: Matters of Principle

"Su Changfeng, no matter what, you must come back alive!" Elder Wu suddenly spoke, and from his tone, it seemed he had agreed to Su Changfeng going to the Outer Domain.

Yin Zhengyuan seemed surprised that Elder Wu would suddenly say something like this, and looked at him in shock, asking, "What are you talking about? Are you crazy too?"

Elder Wu smiled bitterly, thinking he was not crazy, but understood that none of them could stop Su Changfeng. The situation had already spiraled far beyond his control.

Speaking seriously, he had underestimated Su Changfeng’s strength, which is why his plans kept changing. It was now obvious that Su Changfeng was not negotiating with them but informing them of his decision.

"Do you think you can stop him?" Elder Wu looked at Yin Zhengyuan and said.

Yin Zhengyuan was taken aback, involuntarily recalling the events at Shangyun Pavilion. Back then, Su Changfeng had said no one could stop him, and Yin thought it was laughable, but now, looking back, it was indeed no easy task to stop Su Changfeng.

"Su Changfeng, we’re all thinking in your best interest." Yin Zhengyuan said earnestly.

"Elder Yin, facing significant issues, you are indeed upright, and I appreciate it very much, but since I’ve decided, I will not change it, so I hope Elder Yin can understand." Su Changfeng said.

Seeing the resolute expression on Su Changfeng’s face, Yin Zhengyuan couldn’t help but sigh. Things had reached this point, and he didn’t know what to say; he felt powerless inside.

"When are you planning to set off?" Elder Wu asked.

"Tomorrow." Su Changfeng replied.

"So soon? Can’t you wait a bit longer?" Elder Wu frowned.

"There’s nothing to wait for. If it’s delayed any longer, I’m worried something might happen. You must understand the anomalies at the Forbidden Land better than I do." Su Changfeng said.

Elder Wu nodded, agreeing with Su Changfeng that the sooner he went, the better.

"Do you have any other arrangements?" Elder Wu asked.

"Mu Tian and Wu Wen, I hope they can be under my command." Su Changfeng said.

"Alright, from now on, they will follow your orders. Only you can command them." As he finished speaking, Elder Wu turned to Yin Zhengyuan.

It’s important to note that Tuo Shi was not a place where Elder Wu made all the decisions, so this matter depended on Yin Zhengyuan’s opinion.

Yin Zhengyuan sighed and said, "Lingxiao Pavilion will grant them special privileges. From now on, whatever they need, Lingxiao Pavilion will not refuse."

"Thank you, Elder Yin. I’ll take my leave now." With these words, Su Changfeng left.

Yin Zhengyuan couldn’t help but sigh again. In all the years, Tuo Shi had never encountered such a talented individual. Yet, he insisted on going to the Outer Domain to seek death, which left him feeling somewhat uneasy.

"If he could stay in Tuo Shi, he would undoubtedly be a great help in the future. Are you losing your mind not advising him? After all, you are his master!" Yin Zhengyuan said.

"What master am I? It’s just what you think. From beginning to end, we were never master and disciple. Besides, he often has great luck. If he goes to the Outer Domain this time, he might achieve something extraordinary. It’s too early to conclude." Elder Wu said.

"Even so, staying in Tuo Shi would be safer. We can’t be certain what the Outer Domain holds, and who knows what dangers he might face next?" Yin Zhengyuan said.

Elder Wu appeared indifferent, clearly having other plans in mind.

In the current situation of Tuo Shi, remaining passive was undoubtedly a dead end, otherwise, he wouldn’t have planned to go to the Outer Domain himself previously.

For Elder Wu, defense was not as effective as offense. To completely resolve this threat, it’s best to address the source. Otherwise, the crisis from the Outer Domain would remain a perpetual threat.

"As things stand, we can only trust him."

Su Changfeng and Chen Qingqing went to the Yellow Level again.

Mu Tian and his disciple’s strength are now incomparable to the past. They felt very grateful to Su Changfeng, so when he appeared, they knelt down.

If not for Su Changfeng, their lives would probably remain stagnant, without a chance to advance, but now, they are filled with expectations, eagerly awaiting next year’s advancement competition, confident of becoming Earth Level experts.

Seeing the two perform a kneeling ceremony, Su Changfeng did not stop them and directly said, "I came this time hoping you would leave Tuo Shi and go to Jiang City."

"We are naturally willing to follow your instructions, but Tuo Shi has rules, and we don’t know how to leave." Mu Tian said.

"From this moment on, your sole duty is to follow my commands. I am the only one authorized to direct you. This arrangement has been approved by Elder Wu and Su Changfeng, so you have no need for concern," Su Changfeng explained.

Mu Tian was momentarily taken aback, a tempest swirling within his heart. He wondered if Shangyun Pavilion and Lingxiao Pavilion truly permitted Su Changfeng to establish his own independent faction.

Even with its limited membership, this faction clearly demonstrated the high regard in which Elder Wu and Yin Zhengyuan held Su Changfeng.

"Alright, when do you intend for us to depart?" Mu Tian inquired.

"At once. Ensure the complete safety of Shen Hanxue and Ye Nianhai. Effective immediately, their protection is your singular objective. Should anything befall them, I will show you no leniency," Su Changfeng stated gravely.

"Rest assured, even if it costs us our lives, we will safeguard them," Wu Wen replied solemnly.

Su Changfeng then produced two mystical fruits, presenting them with the words, "In six months, consume these to augment your strength."

Mu Tian and Wu Wen, intimately familiar with the potent effects of such fruits, were overcome with excitement, barely able to articulate their thoughts, and could only kneel to express their gratitude to Su Changfeng.

"As long as you unequivocally obey my directives, I can guarantee your successful advancement to Heavenly Level expert status," Su Changfeng assured them.

"Thank you, Mr. Ye, thank you, Mr. Ye."

"From this point forward, we shall diligently serve Mr. Ye, never betraying the profound kindness he has shown us!"

"Remember this: regardless of who dares to threaten them, show absolutely no mercy, even if they hail from Tuo Shi. Do not spare a single soul!" Su Changfeng commanded.

Once Su Changfeng had departed into the distance, Mu Tian and Wu Wen finally rose to their feet.

Clasping the precious fruits, Wu Wen voiced his curiosity, "Master, does Su Changfeng intend to journey somewhere?"

Mu Tian rebuked him, "What Mr. Ye is doing is not within our purview. Our mission is to execute his orders. Now, proceed to pack your belongings; we are embarking for Jiang City immediately."

"Understood," Wu Wen affirmed.

"Brother Changfeng, aren't you being a bit too generous with them?" Chen Qingqing remarked unconsciously after they had left. The fruits, already a rare commodity, had just been divided, leading her to perceive it as somewhat wasteful.
