Hua Qingyao considers Su Changfeng despite his marriage, while the Emperor and Yu Changfeng discuss the Silver Flood Dragon and a potential plan to lure it away from Tianyuan Mountain to find a Space Tunnel. The Emperor begins to suspect Yu Changfeng of a conspiracy to weaken Xingluo, but Yu Changfeng’s oath and status as a Primordial Master sway his doubts. News arrives that Su Changfeng and Baili Luoyuan are traveling towards Chenguang Hall, prompting suspicion from the Emperor and You Meng.

Yu Changfeng quickly waved his hand, looking innocent: "I haven’t had any private contact with Su Changfeng. Even if he knows about the Silver Flood Dragon, it has nothing to do with me."

You Meng retracted her gaze. Back in Fengming City, Yu Changfeng had indeed followed her obediently all the time and had no chance to have private contact with Su Changfeng.

"Since he’s with Baili Luoyuan, it might have something to do with Baili Luoyuan," You Meng speculated.

"Just the two of them?" Yu Changfeng asked.

"Exactly. Whatever happened, we’ll know when we meet him, and I really want to meet this expert," said the Emperor.

A glimmer of calculation flashed in Yu Changfeng’s eyes as if he was plotting something.

Su Changfeng had left Fengming City, which Yu Changfeng saw as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He wanted the Fate Fruit but couldn’t confront Su Changfeng head-on. Thus, the best way was to catch him off guard and threaten him.

That Chen Qingqing was undoubtedly the most suitable target.

Although Yu Changfeng had only met Su Changfeng once, he had investigated him extensively in secret. He knew everything that happened with Su Changfeng in Tianshui City.

Thus, he also knew that back in Tianshui City, Su Changfeng had gone to great lengths to find Chen Qingqing and that Chen Qingqing was Su Changfeng’s sister. This fact alone proved how important Chen Qingqing was to Su Changfeng.

Threatening Su Changfeng with Chen Qingqing was the best method Yu Changfeng could think of. Since he valued Chen Qingqing so much, he would naturally be willing to give him the Fate Fruit.

That night, Yu Changfeng deliberately concealed his presence and quietly left Chenguang Hall. Due to a lapse in vigilance, You Meng did not notice.

The next morning, You Meng didn’t see Yu Changfeng come out, so she went to his room. After knocking and receiving no response for a long time, You Meng realized something was wrong.

When she pushed the door open, she found that the room was devoid of Yu Changfeng. At that moment, You Meng became furious.

"That old guy actually ran away!" You Meng took a deep breath, trying to use her aura to sense Yu Changfeng’s existence.

However, since the two of them were evenly matched in strength and Yu Changfeng had intentionally concealed his presence, even You Meng couldn’t find him.

"Could that old guy have gone to do something stupid?" You Meng muttered anxiously. Although she didn’t know what Yu Changfeng was up to, the bad feeling in her heart grew stronger.

If Yu Changfeng really did something foolish within Xingluo Territory, there would surely be a battle between them, a result she didn’t want to see.

However, without knowing Yu Changfeng’s intentions, You Meng couldn’t stop him.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Su Changfeng and Baili Luoyuan arrived in a small town, ready to have a good rest. They were only a day away from Chenguang Hall.

Their journey wasn’t rushed; it could even be said to have been somewhat leisurely. While it wasn’t exactly a sightseeing tour, they admired many sceneries.

To Su Changfeng, every place on the Tianyuan Continent, untouched by modern industrial pollution, possessed unspeakable beauty, unmatched by the landscapes on Earth.

Every time, he thought about how wonderful it would be if Shen Hanxue and Shen Nianhai could live here because it felt more like the utopia in his heart.

"What are you thinking?" Baili Luoyuan noticed Su Changfeng spacing out again and couldn’t help but ask. Su Changfeng often drifted off in thought, making her curious about what was on his mind.

Su Changfeng was naturally thinking about Shen Hanxue and Ye Nianhai, how great it would be if they could be here, and what their future life could be like. But naturally, he couldn’t tell Baili Luoyuan that.

If his identity were revealed, the consequences would be beyond Su Changfeng’s control.

"Nothing much, just pondering how fierce the Silver Flood Dragon truly is," Su Changfeng said, taking a sip of tea.

Baili Luoyuan shook her head and said, "There’s no need to fret about such things. All you need to know is that even a Primordial Level expert can’t match it. Perhaps only the legendary Holy Spirit Realm could possibly contend with it."

Holy Spirit Realm.

What kind of sensation could that be? Su Changfeng had never felt it; it wasn’t something one could easily imagine.

But to injure the White Jade Python in such a manner, it was evident just how powerful the Silver Flood Dragon was.

"If there’s no way to make the Silver Flood Dragon fall asleep, will the Tianyuan Continent surely be destroyed?" Su Changfeng asked curiously.

"It’s said that the Silver Flood Dragon is immensely powerful and bloodthirsty, its favorite food being humans. If the array is destroyed, while the Tianyuan Continent may not be obliterated, the people here will certainly be," Baili Luoyuan said, a hint of fear flashing in her eyes.

To her, the news of the Silver Flood Dragon awakening was not only alarming but terrifying. If no one could suppress the Silver Flood Dragon, she would inevitably die at its hands sooner or later.

Just imagining such a scene made Baili Luoyuan shiver with fear, let alone encountering the legendary Silver Flood Dragon.

"What you say is indeed terrifying, but these are all just legends. Haven’t you ever thought that perhaps the reality might be entirely different from the legends? Maybe the Silver Flood Dragon isn’t as bloodthirsty as the legends say, and perhaps it only hurt people because humans disturbed its life," Su Changfeng speculated.

These words sounded very different from the circulating news about the Silver Flood Dragon in the Tianyuan Continent, but to Su Changfeng, it wasn’t impossible. After all, from beginning to end, the ferocity and bloodlust of the Silver Flood Dragon had been attributed to it by humans, with no definitive records. Furthermore, humanity had initially provoked the Silver Flood Dragon.

"Even if that’s true, its mere existence is enough to instill fear in the people of the Tianyuan Continent. Are we supposed to gamble the lives of everyone here on whether it’s truly dangerous?" Baili Luoyuan said.

Su Changfeng nodded, without further comment. Baili Luoyuan’s concern wasn’t without reason. Such a cost wasn’t something everyone could bear, and it wouldn’t be casually attempted.

If a potential threat could be nipped in the bud, it’s unlikely anyone would be willing to sit idly by.

"How’s the rest?" Su Changfeng asked.

Baili Luoyuan nodded. In reality, with her strength, traveling wasn’t a significant issue for her. She slowed down the pace merely to gain more time to understand Su Changfeng better.

Just as they were about to leave, a group of robust men suddenly appeared from the opposite side, surrounding them.
