The City’s Strongest Son-in-law Chapter 1410 - 1409: Dongling’s Conspiracy

Su Changfeng, in front of her, can remain completely unaffected, unlike any man she has met before. He seems entirely unmoved by beauty.

"However, I’ve heard that he’s already married and has a daughter. You’d better not hold out too much hope," Baili Luoyuan reminded.

Married?

Upon hearing this, Hua Qingyao was momentarily stunned, her smile froze on her lips, but she quickly understood and said, "Sect Master, it doesn’t matter if he’s married. If it doesn’t work out, I’m willing to be a concubine, so that I can have him."

In the Tianyuan Continent, this sort of thing is quite common, so Baili Luoyuan heard it and didn’t say anything more.

In Chenguang Hall.

After two full days of reviewing the secret scripture, the Emperor finally summoned You Meng and Yu Changfeng again. When they arrived, they noticed that the Emperor’s expression was somewhat weary; it seemed that he had indeed spent a lot of effort on this matter.

However, judging by his appearance, the situation doesn’t look very optimistic.

"In these two days, I’ve gone through all the secret scriptures. Indeed, there are many mentions of the Dragon Tamer, but it’s merely the simple three words, without any detailed annotations. It seems there’s no hope of solving the troubles brought by the Silver Flood Dragon by starting with the Dragon Tamer," the Emperor said with a sigh.

To You Meng, this result was not so easily accepted, after all, it was originally just a legend. No one can be sure if the Dragon Tamer really exists, so naturally, the related records are very few.

"Emperor, it seems we really have to start from other places," You Meng said.

"Do you recall the Silver Flood Dragon’s awakening from a thousand years ago, do you remember how the Tianyuan Continent handled the situation at that time?" Yu Changfeng suddenly asked.

The Emperor turned to look at Yu Changfeng and said, "Are you referring to the matter of migration or the array?"

"With the current strength of the Tianyuan Continent, talking about setting up arrays is futile. The Continental experts are far inferior to those of the past," Yu Changfeng said.

He had made his point quite clear, obviously referring to the former, but after hearing him, the Emperor still shook his head.

Failing the invasion thousands of years ago, the Tianyuan Continent’s strength was almost at its peak back then, but now it’s far from what it used to be, how could they successfully invade?

Furthermore, the exact location of the Space Tunnel was long obscured by the battle thousands of years ago. Although the legend states it is in Tianyuan Mountain, now with the Silver Flood Dragon awakening, Tianyuan Mountain isn’t a place one can easily approach.

"The Tianyuan Continent now is far removed from back then," the Emperor said.

"But the Otherworld’s strength is also not what it used to be, so we aren’t completely without opportunity," Yu Changfeng said.

"Elder Yu, according to legend, the entrance to the Otherworld is located at Tianyuan Mountain. Surely, you’re more aware than I of what Tianyuan Mountain represents?" the Emperor continued.

With the Silver Flood Dragon guarding it, no one can approach Tianyuan Mountain easily; anyone with any brains would understand that, so Yu Changfeng surely understood as well. So does that mean he has a solution?

"Why don’t we lure the tiger away from the mountain? If we can make the Silver Flood Dragon temporarily leave Tianyuan Mountain, we might find the Space Tunnel," Yu Changfeng suggested.

"What do you mean, Elder Yu?"

"The Exotic Beast Army of Xingluo is most suited to lure the tiger away from the mountain. We can have the Beast Tamers distract the Silver Flood Dragon," Yu Changfeng explained.

The Emperor’s lips curled slightly, his gaze was filled with coldness, his attitude was no longer as polite as before, and he said, "Is Elder Yu planning to let my Exotic Beast Army die? Are you deliberately weakening my Xingluo’s strength?"

"If the Silver Flood Dragon breaks through the array, do you think Xingluo can survive? You don’t need me to remind the Emperor of how powerful the Silver Flood Dragon is?" Yu Changfeng retorted.

If the Silver Flood Dragon truly awakens, the aftermath is far beyond what they could imagine; everyone understands this, but asking the Emperor to take on such a huge risk to verify the legend of the Space Tunnel is something he really can’t do.

At this point, the Emperor began to develop some suspicions about Yu Changfeng. He claimed to have personally seen the awakening of the Silver Flood Dragon and now proposes that the Exotic Beast Army distract the Silver Flood Dragon. In the Emperor’s eyes, this might be Yu Changfeng’s method of weakening Xingluo. His presence in Xingluo could very well be an Emperor Dongling’s conspiracy.

"It seems like Elder Yu’s visit to my Xingluo this time isn’t as simple as I thought. In that case, I am willing to issue an order to give Elder Yu a smooth passage, to swiftly send you back to Dongling," the Emperor said coldly.

Yu Changfeng realized that the Emperor might have misunderstood and quickly explained, "Could it be that the Emperor thinks I’m lying when I said I saw the Silver Flood Dragon? Is it a conspiracy? I, Yu Changfeng, am willing to swear to the heavens, if I have any deception, may I face heavenly condemnation."

The Emperor couldn’t help but frown, for cultivators, one does not casually swear such oaths. Could it really be that he wasn’t deceiving him?

"The Emperor is well aware; I am a Primordial Master, naturally, I would not meddle in the wars between the Three Kingdoms?" Yu Changfeng continued.

The Emperor nodded, finally beginning to believe that he had misunderstood.

Just then, the Emperor’s trusted subordinate came over and spoke softly: "Emperor, Su Changfeng and Baili Luoyuan have left Fengming City together."

"Left? Then where are they headed?" the Emperor asked. Ever since placing people around Su Changfeng, the Emperor could fully grasp Su Changfeng’s movements at the first moment, and his departure from Fengming City was a significant event; hence, the news quickly reached Chenguang Hall.

"Currently unsure, but judging by the direction they’re headed, it seems to be Chenguang Hall," the subordinate said.

The Emperor frowned, his expression tinged with doubt. Why would Su Changfeng come to Chenguang Hall at this time?

Aside from Chenguang Hall, where else could he go?

"You Meng, does Su Changfeng know about the Sourceless Forest’s situation?" the Emperor asked, looking at You Meng.

"The disturbance in the Sourceless Forest, likely no one is unaware. But regarding the Silver Flood Dragon, only those above the main hall should be aware now," You Meng said.

"Why does the Emperor suddenly mention Su Changfeng?" You Meng asked curiously after speaking.

"Just received news that Su Changfeng and Baili Luoyuan have left Fengming City together. Where they’re headed is unsure, but by direction, it should be Chenguang Hall," the Emperor explained.

What? Su Changfeng is coming to Chenguang Hall?

You Meng instinctively frowned; Su Changfeng choosing to come to Chenguang Hall at this time is indeed peculiar. But how does he know about the Silver Flood Dragon?

You Meng couldn’t help but glance at Yu Changfeng beside him.
