The City’s Strongest Son-in-law Chapter 1426 - 1425: Foolish Actions
Previously on The City’s Strongest Son-in-law...
The subordinates also don’t know what exactly happened, and can only say: "The people arranged in the Changfeng Sect still haven’t sent back any information. If there’s any new situation, it will surely be reported immediately."
"We must figure out what happened," the Emperor said.
Su Changfeng and You Meng naturally couldn’t delay and rushed as fast as they could. It was then that You Meng realized the difference in strength between her and Su Changfeng, primarily because Su Changfeng’s speed surprisingly surpassed hers. While this was enough to show Su Changfeng was stronger than her, it was more or less expected.
In less than a day, Su Changfeng made it back to the Changfeng Sect.
The disciples killed by Yu Changfeng had already been buried by Hua Qingyao and the others. Hua Qingyao then recounted the situation to Su Changfeng, who was furious upon learning this.
The disciples of Changfeng Sect were all children from poor families, and yet Yu Changfeng was so ruthless he didn’t even leave them intact!
Su Changfeng clenched his fists and asked Hua Qingyao, "Do you know where they are now?"
Hua Qingyao didn’t know the exact direction of the two, just pointed Su Changfeng in a general direction and said, "It should be there. At that time, your sister was going to duel with him, just not sure what the situation is now."
Su Changfeng was certainly aware of Chen Qingqing’s strength. She was considered a Ninth Rank expert now, slightly above Ninth Rank but not yet at Primordial Essence.
Although Chen Qingqing had absorbed power from the head bone and eaten many Fate Fruits in the Infinite Cave earlier, they hadn’t yet fully transformed into strength.
The reason why Su Changfeng was so strong was mainly due to the blessing of the head bone, which naturally couldn’t be compared to others.
"How long have they been gone?" Su Changfeng continued to ask.
"It’s been three days now."
Upon hearing this, Su Changfeng’s heart sank. It had already been three days, which meant that Chen Qingqing might have already been captured by Yu Changfeng, but he wasn’t sure what her current condition was or if she was injured.
"Can your sister defeat Yu Changfeng?" You Meng suddenly asked.
"She is not yet a Primordial Master," Su Changfeng replied.
Although You Meng had already suspected this, hearing Su Changfeng say it out loud made her feel somewhat relieved. If even Chen Qingqing was a Primordial level expert, You Meng would feel very defeated, since Primordial level experts have always been rarities. With two suddenly appearing like this, she really couldn’t accept it.
"From the current situation, she’s probably already fallen into Yu Changfeng’s hands. I think you don’t need to look for Yu Changfeng anymore. Since his ultimate goal is the Fate Fruit, he will naturally come to you," You Meng said.
Su Changfeng knew Yu Changfeng would come eventually, but if he really just waited like this, he would probably feel restless because Chen Qingqing was in danger, how could he possibly remain indifferent?
"Will Yu Changfeng return to Dongling?" Su Changfeng asked.
You Meng confidently replied, "Yu Changfeng has always been a coward, he certainly wouldn’t go back to Dongling. You must be well aware of the situation in the Sourceless Forest."
"Do I just have to passively wait like this?" Su Changfeng gritted his teeth and said.
While You Meng really wanted to help Su Changfeng think of a plan, she didn’t know what kind of plan Yu Changfeng had, so naturally wouldn’t know where Yu Changfeng would be.
"Just wait, he should be coming to you soon. Besides, his ultimate goal is the Fate Fruit, so he won’t do anything to your sister," You Meng said.
With these words, Hua Qingyao couldn’t help but frown. What does Yu Changfeng wanting the Fate Fruit have to do with Chen Qingqing? Wasn’t the Fate Fruit already given to Zhou Hongyun? Within Xingluo, no one should be unaware.
Lately, Zhou Hongyun, to avoid causing more trouble, had eaten the Fate Fruit in front of everyone.
Could it be that Su Changfeng still has the Fate Fruit in his possession?
"Sect Master Su, do you know where Sect Master Baili is now?" Hua Qingyao asked.
"She will soon return with Wang Junyi, you can rest assured," Su Changfeng replied.
Hua Qingyao nodded. Since Su Changfeng said so, she naturally had nothing to worry about.
But this matter is far from as simple as Su Changfeng thought.
In fact, after Su Changfeng and You Meng left Chenguang Hall, the Emperor had people surround the house where You Meng lived, fearing Su Changfeng would never return. So the Emperor had to confine Wang Junyi and Baili Luoyuan at Chenguang Hall, ensuring Su Changfeng would have to return.
"Yu Changfeng, you will pay for your stupidity, you will be the first expert I slay on the Tianyuan Continent!"
Hearing Su Changfeng’s words, everyone around was shocked, even You Meng couldn’t help but widen her eyes.
The main reason was that Su Changfeng’s expression was so serious, he could easily say he would slay a Primordial Master, meaning Su Changfeng’s strength had surpassed Primordial Essence?
Although people outside had been speculating about Su Changfeng’s rank, so far, no one had truly guessed Su Changfeng’s real strength.
Some said he was a Primordial Master, some said his strength was far above Primordial Essence, even though he might not yet be at the Holy Spirit Realm, he was close.
If he really had the ability to crush Yu Changfeng, then it could only mean one thing, he indeed was a Holy Spirit Expert.
You Meng took a deep breath and looked at Su Changfeng and asked, "Is a Primordial Master nothing to worry about for you?"
Su Changfeng coldly gazed in the direction Chen Qingqing had left. Whether he could crush Yu Changfeng or not, he wasn’t sure, but if Yu Changfeng really harmed Chen Qingqing, no matter what consequences he faced, he wouldn’t spare Yu Changfeng.
"Elder Hua, could you please help me observe the nearby situation and inform me immediately if you receive any news," Su Changfeng said to Hua Qingyao and then went directly back to his room.
Hua Qingyao was somewhat surprised by Su Changfeng’s instructions. After all, this was the Changfeng Sect, his sect, how could he entrust this matter to an outsider like her?
"What does Sect Master Su mean?" Hua Qingyao frowned and looked to You Meng for an explanation.
At this time, Hua Qingyao naturally didn’t know You Meng’s true identity, otherwise, she probably wouldn’t have had the courage to talk to You Meng.
"In the current Changfeng Sect, there are no people he can trust, after all, all the elders in the sect are the Emperor’s spies," You Meng explained.
She naturally knew that Su Changfeng was willing to trust only Wang Junyi and Chen Qingqing, but now Chen Qingqing’s whereabouts were unknown and Wang Junyi was still recovering at Chenguang Hall, so Su Changfeng had no choice but to let Hua Qingyao help.
