Yu Changfeng, seeking the Fate Fruit, arrives at the Changfeng Sect while Su Changfeng is away. He callously kills two disciples who try to stop him and openly provokes the remaining sect members. Wang Junyi and Hua Qingyao attempt to intervene but are easily overpowered by Yu Changfeng's immense strength. Yu Changfeng reveals himself as a powerful Primordial Master from the Dongling Territory and declares his intention to abduct Chen Qingqing, who then appears and confronts him.

Yu Changfeng indeed harbored fear towards Su Changfeng, and on this matter, he made no attempt to hide it, instead admitting frankly: "You’re right, I really am unwilling to face him, which is why I only showed up after he left. But so what? He is not here now, and the fate of everyone in your Changfeng Sect lies solely in my hands."

"Underestimating my strength, you’ll regret it," Chen Qingqing spoke coldly.

Yu Changfeng was momentarily stunned by her words, then burst into laughter.

Despite the fact that during the previous great battle against the Situ Family’s thirty experts, Chen Qingqing also lent a helping hand, in Yu Changfeng’s eyes, it was merely a trivial assist. Moreover, as a powerful Primordial Master, why would he care about a woman?

Of course, someone like You Meng was just an exception; there was only one You Meng on this vast Tianyuan Continent.

"Little girl, such a big mouth for someone so young. It seems it’s time to let you witness my strength," said Yu Changfeng.

Knowing that the opponent was a Primordial Master, Chen Qingqing naturally didn’t dare to slack off. With her current strength, it would be quite strenuous to deal with such a master; however, surrendering without a fight was not Chen Qingqing’s style.

Yet, this battlefield could not be chosen near Wanhua Mountain, as she understood well the destructive power of a battle between experts. The Changfeng Sect had just been established; she would not want it to be destroyed just like that.

"If you want to capture me, then see if you have the skills." With those words, Chen Qingqing flashed, vanishing from the spot in an instant.

Yu Changfeng was taken aback and hastily rushed towards the direction Chen Qingqing headed.

"Master Aunt!" Wang Junyi shouted anxiously, but it was already too late. He could only watch nervously in the direction the two had left.

"Why did Master Aunt have to go out? The opponent is a Primordial Master, how could she possibly handle him? What am I supposed to do?" Wang Junyi was so anxious that he was about to break out in sweat. To him, a Primordial Master was an unattainable existence. Though he knew Chen Qingqing was formidable, he still believed deep down that she could not possibly defeat Yu Changfeng.

"You need to figure out a way to contact your Master quickly!" At this moment, Hua Qingyao came over and said to Wang Junyi.

Wang Junyi shook his head, saying, "Master is likely already in Xingluo, and even if I inform him, he won’t be able to make it back in time."

Hua Qingyao knew that time waited for no one. With Su Changfeng far away in Chenguang Hall, it was essentially impossible for him to return in time to save Chen Qingqing. But aside from finding Su Changfeng, there was no better solution now. Those among them simply couldn’t match Yu Changfeng.

"Do you have a better idea than that? Don’t waste any more time. Ride the Exotic Beast; it should be faster!" Hua Qingyao said.

With a turn of thought, Wang Junyi saw the Blood Lion appear before him.

With an Exotic Beast, he could indeed reach Chenguang Hall faster. Hua Qingyao was right; there was no better option now.

"Elder Hua, I’ll leave matters of the Changfeng Sect to you for the time being." With those words, Wang Junyi dared not delay any longer and left astride the Exotic Beast.

Hua Qingyao let out a deep breath and instructed the disciples of the Qingluan Sect behind her: "Clean up the scene and pass the word down. All disciples within the Sect are to stay put, no one is allowed to leave!"

Meanwhile, Wang Junyi rode the Blood Lion, not daring to waste a moment as he rushed towards Chenguang Hall, his mind filled with worry for Chen Qingqing.

After spending a day and a night, he finally reached Chenguang Hall.

Being his first visit to Chenguang Hall, he naturally was not familiar with the rules here. Chenguang Hall had regulations that no matter how formidable the Exotic Beast or how high one’s personal strength, flying was not permitted here.

Thus, before he could even meet Su Changfeng, Wang Junyi was taken into custody.

With numerous experts at Chenguang Hall, as a mere fifth-rank expert, Wang Junyi naturally had no means to act audaciously.

"Let me out, my Master is Su Changfeng, I have urgent news for him." Inside the cell, Wang Junyi shouted loudly, but no one paid him any heed.

As for Su Changfeng at this moment, he was still in the Emperor’s secret chamber reading books.

Indeed, the Secret Scripture did mention Dragon Tamers, but only scattered references with not much guidance. However, one passage caught Su Changfeng’s interest.

After venturing to Tuo Shi and learning of the Space Tunnel’s existence, Su Changfeng had been quite curious about how the Space Tunnel came to be.

He found a record of the Space Tunnel in a Secret Scripture, stating that it was split open by a master with a single sword stroke, forming a bridge between two worlds. Although it was unintentional, this person eventually suffered the Heavenly Punishment and lost his life.

The Secret Scripture also mentioned that the Space Tunnel could reverse time, meaning, in simple terms, that through special operation, it could take time back to the past, like a time machine. This revelation amazed Su Changfeng. If this record was true, it implied they could harness the Space Tunnel’s power to go back in time?

"What’s up?" Noticing the astonishment on Su Changfeng’s face, You Meng thought he had discovered some important clue and quickly asked.

"Who would have thought that the legendary Space Tunnel was actually split open by a master with a sword? It’s really hard to imagine the kind of strength that person possessed," Su Changfeng said with a face full of amazement.

You Meng had also heard of this, but to her, it was just a legend she didn’t really believe, as even someone in the Holy Spirit Realm couldn’t split the void.

"Stop reading all this nonsense, the matter of the Silver Flood Dragon is more important. Can knowing the origins of the Space Tunnel help you deal with the Silver Flood Dragon?" You Meng said helplessly.

Su Changfeng nodded, silently noting the Space Tunnel’s matter in his mind, then continued to search for information related to the Silver Flood Dragon.

The items in the secret chamber had already been reviewed by the Emperor, so at this moment, he wasn’t reading but quietly waiting on the side.

Just then, there was a knock on the door outside.

Under normal circumstances, his subordinates wouldn’t disturb him at this hour, so was something amiss?

With this thought, the Emperor felt a slight unease. Could it be that something was wrong again in the Sourceless Forest?

"What’s going on?" Emerging from the secret chamber, the Emperor asked.

"Emperor, do you remember the Beast Tamer who subdued the Blood Lion?" a subordinate inquired.

"Blood Lion? Are you referring to the one with Su Changfeng?" The Emperor asked with a frown.

"That’s right, he is now in Chenguang Hall, but not knowing the rules, he flew over Chenguang Hall on the Blood Lion and has been detained."
