The City’s Strongest Son-in-law Chapter 1384 - 1383: From the Otherworld

Flipping through the sketchbook in his hand, Yu Changfeng’s expression grew heavier and heavier. Although he hadn’t seen the scene with his own eyes, from the images recorded in the book, he could still tell just how shocking that battle had been.

More than thirty experts had actually all been defeated.

"Even though he had help at the time, those two people—especially the one riding the Blood Lion—didn’t actually provide much assistance." Yu Changfeng said. If Wang Junyi heard this, he would probably be depressed to death.

You Meng nodded and said in a deep voice, "But that woman is also very strong. Although the ones she faced weren’t the strongest among those thirty experts, that doesn’t mean she went all out."

Yu Changfeng couldn’t help but sigh again. He understood perfectly well what You Meng meant, but what he couldn’t understand was how so many experts could suddenly appear on the Tianyuan Continent.

He had lived for several hundred years and had personally watched many experts break through. He had witnessed their growth with his own eyes. But these people who had appeared out of nowhere recently seemed more like they had descended out of the blue. There had been no signs of them before, and the moment they appeared they were already existences who could stand on equal footing with them. It was just too strange.

"What do you think is going on? How could so many powerful experts suddenly appear?" Yu Changfeng asked with a frown.

"That’s exactly what I want to know, which is why I’ve been tailing him." You Meng also furrowed her brows. Su Changfeng had always been on guard against her, so it wasn’t easy for her to figure out what was really going on.

"Have you discovered any clues?" Yu Changfeng asked curiously.

You Meng shook her head and said, "Not yet. But there’s something very strange—he has Fate Fruit, and the key point is that he even..."

"What? Fate Fruit!" Before You Meng could finish, Yu Changfeng cut her off excitedly. The term "Fate Fruit" to him was without a doubt the name of the most precious treasure.

Rumor had it that Fate Fruit was produced in the Sourceless Forest, and only a Primordial Master could obtain it. But as a Primordial Master himself, Yu Changfeng knew very well that even Primordial Masters had to tread carefully in the Sourceless Forest. Just like this time, he had passed through the Sourceless Forest and ended up in his current miserable state. How would he still have the guts to go there in search of Fate Fruit?

Therefore, in Yu Changfeng’s eyes, anyone who could possess Fate Fruit had to be at least a Primordial Master-level expert.

"How is that possible? Could it be... could it be that he has already reached the Holy Spirit Realm?" Yu Changfeng looked at You Meng with an utterly incredulous expression.

"I’m not sure either. But he auctioned off the Fate Fruit, and afterward he showed no intention of taking it back—he just gave it away." You Meng said.

In Su Changfeng’s eyes, gifting away the Fate Fruit might have been a trivial matter, something not worth mentioning. It wasn’t the first time he had done something like that. But what he didn’t realize was that to You Meng, this was an extremely shocking act.

The preciousness of Fate Fruit went without saying. It was by no means easy to obtain. Yet he had casually given it away just like that.

"Are you messing with me? You must be, right?" For some reason, Yu Changfeng suddenly burst out laughing, a hint of disdain in his tone. He hadn’t really believed the events depicted in the sketchbook to begin with. Now, hearing that Su Changfeng had given Fate Fruit to someone, he naturally believed it even less.

"Do you think I would joke with you about something like this? Is there any need? This matter caused quite an uproar; everyone in Xinluo City knows. If you don’t believe me, you can go ask around."

You Meng could understand Yu Changfeng’s skepticism. After all, if she hadn’t witnessed it with her own eyes, she probably wouldn’t have believed it either. But once she had seen it for herself, the facts were right there in front of her, leaving her no room to doubt.

Seeing that You Meng didn’t look like she was joking at all, the smile on Yu Changfeng’s face gradually faded.

"You’re not lying to me? It’s true?" Yu Changfeng tested the waters. If it really was true, then his hundreds of years of living might as well have been for nothing. He simply couldn’t imagine what kind of person the other party was, to actually give away a worldly treasure like Fate Fruit.

"I saw it with my own eyes, so of course it’s true." You Meng said calmly.

Yu Changfeng collapsed back into his seat in one go, as if he’d taken a heavy blow. He muttered, "I must be dreaming, I must be dreaming. Is this still the Tianyuan Continent? Why does it suddenly feel so unfamiliar to me?"

You Meng took a deep breath, looked at Yu Changfeng, and asked, "Do you think it might have something to do with that matter?"

Yu Changfeng suddenly sat up straight, a rare seriousness in his eyes. "Another world?" he said.

You Meng nodded. In fact, not many people on the Tianyuan Continent knew about the existence of another world, but Primordial Masters were aware of it.

Judging from Su Changfeng’s various actions, You Meng couldn’t help but connect him with that world. The main thing was that his appearance had been far too abrupt. Only if he had come from the Otherworld did it seem to have any plausible explanation.

"But the Tianyuan Secret Manual says that the Otherworld isn’t a place with strong martial force. How could he be this powerful?" Yu Changfeng asked in confusion.

You Meng also couldn’t figure this out no matter how hard she thought about it. The Tianyuan Secret Manual clearly recorded that the Otherworld was a place where the weak were everywhere. If that was the case, such a powerhouse shouldn’t exist.

"Do you think it’s possible that the Secret Scripture’s records are too simplistic, or that there were errors, or maybe that we haven’t actually read all of it?" You Meng guessed.

Yu Changfeng’s expression changed. "What do you mean? Don’t tell me you’re planning to go to Tianyuan Mountain?"

You Meng nodded with a serious face. "If we want to get to the bottom of all this, we have to go take a look at Tianyuan Mountain."

Yu Changfeng’s head immediately shook like a rattle, as if he had some kind of fear toward Tianyuan Mountain. He declared at once, "Do whatever you want; I’m not going. If I lose my little life there, I won’t even have time to regret it."

"If you don’t go, how am I supposed to go by myself?" You Meng said helplessly. Tianyuan Mountain lay at the very center of the Sourceless Forest and was naturally the most dangerous place on the Tianyuan Continent. That was where the most powerful Exotic Beasts of the Tianyuan Continent resided, and as for their names and appearances, the outside world knew nothing. Faced with unknown dangers, even Primordial Masters would instinctively feel fear.

In fact, the stronger one was, the more afraid of death they became—especially Primordial Masters. They had much longer lifespans than ordinary people. Who would be bored enough to risk their lives by going to a place like that?

"What difference does it make if I go? If our luck is bad, we’ll die all the same. Do I really need to remind you what kind of place Tianyuan Mountain is?" Yu Changfeng said.
