The City’s Strongest Son-in-law Chapter 1393 - 1392: Qingluan Sect
Previously on The City’s Strongest Son-in-law...
"Are you joking?" Situ Feng’s face was full of shock, with fine sweat appearing on his forehead, mainly because he was scared. After all, Situ Yuan had once cursed her, and Situ Feng originally sighed silently, thinking that the little girl was really asking for trouble. Now, thinking seriously, it turns out that Situ Yuan was already wandering the gates of hell so early on.
In the world, who would dare to insult You Meng?
"Do you think I need to joke with you about this kind of thing? I have met her once before." Zhou Hongyun explained.
Situ Feng gasped, feeling dazed, primarily because this matter was truly unbelievable in his eyes. He always thought that such legendary figures were something he would never have the chance to meet in his lifetime.
"Are you saying that there might be a possibility of alliance between You Meng and Su Changfeng?" Situ Feng spoke, his heartbeat suddenly accelerating. Even though the Emperor had a trump card in Chenguang Hall, these were two Primordial Level masters, after all. Can he really withstand them?
Does this mean Su Changfeng really has a chance to overthrow the Emperor?
Zhou Hongyun shook his head. The relationship between You Meng and Su Changfeng, whether they could join forces, was not something he could casually speculate on. But since You Meng appeared by Su Changfeng’s side, it naturally wasn’t that simple.
"Just wait patiently. I believe that in the future, we will find out." Zhou Hongyun said.
Situ Feng sighed long and said, "Yes, sooner or later, we will find out. However, I am really curious, to what extent will things eventually develop."
Situ Feng’s feelings were somewhat complex. He worried about Su Changfeng failing and dragging their Situ Family down, causing them to follow in the footsteps of the Qiutang Clan. Yet, he also eagerly anticipated Su Changfeng confronting the Emperor equally.
After all, such things have never happened on the Tianyuan Continent. He was very curious if anyone really could challenge the Emperor’s counsel, and in the end, what direction things would take.
Furthermore, he eagerly anticipated that Su Changfeng might really change the current situation in Xingluo through his own power. It was not easy to personally witness such a great national transformation, and now that the opportunity was in front of him, how could he not be tempted?
The establishment of the Changfeng Sect was officially announced. Although it was a newly formed sect, the news of its establishment spread like a hurricane, quickly reaching every corner of Xingluo.
This was mainly because of its uniqueness. As everyone knows, establishing a sect requires prior notice to and permission from the Emperor. However, the Changfeng Sect did not, so people were very curious about how the Emperor would react to such a matter.
The sect closest to the Changfeng Sect was the Qingluan Sect. Qingluan Sect was considered a relatively unique sect within the Xingluo Territory, as the sect only accepted women and never admitted male disciples.
"Sect Master, what does this Su Changfeng mean by this? Such a major event as establishing a sect, and he didn’t inform the Emperor in advance. Does he want to rebel?" The speaker was Elder Hua Qingyao. She was a very charming middle-aged woman. Her every move was full of allure, wearing a light purple gauze dress, with a graceful figure that naturally attracted others’ eyes.
Beside her stood Baili Luoyuan, the Sect Master of the Qingluan Sect. Although the two were around the same age, Baili Luoyuan appeared more intellectual and elegant. Her beauty was subtle, yet very tasteful, and overall, her advantages surpassed Hua Qingyao.
Baili Luoyuan shook her head. Recent news regarding Su Changfeng had emerged one after another. His behavior was seemingly strange and utterly unpredictable, handling things at will.
"Although I cannot guess his intentions, with his strength, he indeed has the qualification to act as he pleases," Baili Luoyuan stated.
"But does he really not care about the Emperor’s thoughts at all? If he truly angers the Emperor, there will be no good end for him," Hua Qingyao said.
Baili Luoyuan’s lips curved slightly, lending even more to her radiant face, and she replied, "Do you still not understand? The Emperor clearly has no intention of making an enemy out of him."
"How is that possible? Could it be that the Emperor is actually afraid of him?" Hua Qingyao said with disdain.
"Not necessarily afraid, but certainly wary," Baili Luoyuan said. "Don’t you know why the Emperor sent men to Tianshui City a second time?"
"Of course, isn’t it just to haul out this Su Changfeng?" Hua Qingyao said. In fact, everyone had long understood this matter.
"I’m afraid it’s not that simple. I once heard that the first team sent by the Emperor mysteriously disappeared. To this day, there has been no trace of those Seventh-rank Experts," Baili Luoyuan stated.
"Disappeared? What do you mean?" Hua Qingyao asked with a face full of confusion.
"Oh, what else could it mean? Those Seventh-rank Experts went to Tianshui City and inexplicably vanished. The most likely scenario is that they were killed by this Su Changfeng," Baili Luoyuan said helplessly. This elder might be beautiful, but her brain wasn’t the best.
"Killed!" Upon hearing this, Hua Qingyao couldn’t help but exclaim.
These people were part of Xingluo; how could they be killed so casually? Does he not worry about the Emperor’s retaliation?
"Sect Master, where did you hear this from? Is it reliable? If he really killed them, why hasn’t there been any reaction from the Emperor?" Hua Qingyao said incredulously.
"That’s why, even when he set up a sect, the Emperor didn’t say much, because even the Emperor fears his strength. Although we’re unsure of his true Rank, the fact that he battled thirty masters of the Situ Family proves he has the power of a Primordial Essence Rank."
A Primordial Master, that level of power can destroy a city, even the Emperor cannot take it lightly.
"Sect Master, do you really think he is a Primordial Master?" Hua Qingyao asked softly.
"It’s not about what I think; the facts are right there, leaving no room for doubt," Baili Luoyuan said. Anyone who can battle thirty masters from the Situ Family is not someone we can question.
"If he is really that formidable..." Suddenly, a trace of infatuation appeared on Hua Qingyao’s face. She took out an album from her chest and said, "I just wonder if he looks as handsome as in this album."
Seeing Hua Qingyao’s reaction, Baili Luoyuan could only smile helplessly. Although the sect never admitted male disciples, it did not bar sect members from engaging with men outside, and even within Qingluan Sect, there were members who married. However, the sole condition was that outside men were not to be brought into the sect.
With such an expression, Hua Qingyao was no different from those infatuated fangirls.
"You would actually believe such a thing? It’s just something those painters created to make money," Baili Luoyuan said.
