Su Changfeng gives You Meng a Fate Fruit and reveals his displeasure with her actions. He then learns from You Meng that the Emperor has placed Chen Qingqing and others under house arrest. As Su Changfeng contemplates confronting the Emperor, Yu Changfeng arrives, alone, and reveals he is holding Chen Qingqing hostage in exchange for the Fate Fruits.

"Su Changfeng, you might as well stop pretending. Back in Tianshui City, you spent so much effort looking for Chen Qingqing. How much you care about her, do you think I don’t know? It’s nothing more than a Fate Fruit. Could it be that in your heart, her life is less valuable than the Fate Fruit in your hand?" Yu Changfeng said with a smile.

Su Changfeng’s face sank, and he said, "It seems you’ve prepared for this a long time ago. Since you understand how much I care about her, and you still dare to lay a hand on her, aren’t you worried about any consequences at all?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Changfeng suddenly burst into laughter, as if he had heard something amusing.

He was, after all, a powerful Primordial Master. Who could do anything to him? Moreover, he went through such a big circle, capturing Chen Qingqing to threaten Su Changfeng, simply because he didn’t want to fight within the Xingluo Territory.

Although he was indeed somewhat intimidated by Su Changfeng, it wasn’t the most important reason.

Even if Yu Changfeng underestimated Su Changfeng’s strength, he didn’t think he would lose much to Su Changfeng.

"To be honest with you, she has only two days of time left. If you can’t find her in time, she will be tortured to death. So if you’re smart, quickly hand over the Fate Fruit; otherwise, you’ll regret it." Yu Changfeng said.

"What exactly did you do to her?" Su Changfeng asked with an ugly expression.

"Nothing much, just left some force within her body. That force will slowly erode her flesh and bones. If you don’t help her in time, she’ll directly turn into a puddle of blood. Su Changfeng, there’s only one road in front of you now. Quickly hand over the Fate Fruit." Yu Changfeng said.

You Meng heard and said angrily, "Yu Changfeng, if you don’t want to die, quickly hand her over. Don’t forget, this is Xingluo, not your Dongling. Even if you finally get the Fate Fruit, do you think you can retreat safely?"

Seeing You Meng, who was furious, Yu Changfeng smiled faintly. Although he liked her for many years, compared to the Fate Fruit, what was You Meng to him?

In the heart of such a Primordial Master, power was the most important. Women were nothing more than a temporary novelty. As long as he had power, what kind of woman couldn’t he find?

"You Meng, I really need to thank you. If you hadn’t told me he still had a lot of Fate Fruit, I wouldn’t have thought of capturing Chen Qingqing. So I can assure you, once I break through to the Holy Spirit Realm, I’ll definitely tell you the secrets of the Holy Spirit Realm." Yu Changfeng said.

You Meng listened, gritting her teeth. All the things she said before were just offhand remarks and weren’t meant to be intentionally told to Yu Changfeng. Who knew Yu Changfeng would have caused such a mess?

At this moment, he suddenly said such a thing, clearly trying to provoke her relationship with Su Changfeng.

"Yu Changfeng, I’ll ask you one last time, where is my sister? If you release her, I can spare your life." Su Changfeng said.

As for You Meng and Yu Changfeng’s matters, he didn’t care at all. Even if there really was something between them, Su Changfeng didn’t care either. Right now, the most important thing was to rescue Chen Qingqing. As for everything else, he had plenty of time to settle accounts with You Meng.

Yu Changfeng’s face darkened. Chen Qingqing’s life was in his hands now, but Su Changfeng dared to threaten him. In his eyes, Su Changfeng was simply too arrogant.

"Su Changfeng, do you know the current situation? You dare to talk to me like that." Yu Changfeng looked at him coldly.

"How do you want me to talk to you?" A glimmer flashed in Su Changfeng’s eyes. Before merging his leg bones, he naturally didn’t have enough confidence to defeat Yu Changfeng, but now, a small Yu Changfeng was not worth his attention.

To today’s Su Changfeng, a Primordial Master was nothing more than a humble ant.

Though he’s just a Pseudo-Saint Spirit expert, that’s after all the rank closest to the Holy Spirit Realm, and naturally isn’t something a Primordial Master can compare to.

"I gave you a chance, it’s you who didn’t want it, so don’t blame me for being impolite." Almost the moment he finished speaking, Su Changfeng, who had been standing opposite Yu Changfeng, disappeared into thin air.

Even the two Primordial Level experts, You Meng and Yu Changfeng, couldn’t see Su Changfeng’s moves clearly.

The key was that You Meng was standing right next to him, yet she was completely unaware of Su Changfeng’s actions, not even sensing any energy fluctuations.

Only now did You Meng finally realize the gap between herself and Su Changfeng. This feeling was like an ordinary person facing a cultivator; a cultivator’s actions were completely undetectable by ordinary people.

"Where’s the person!" The sudden disappearance of Su Changfeng made Yu Changfeng’s heart sink sharply, and his face changed instantly.

"You Meng, where’s Su Changfeng?"

"Are you looking for me?" At this moment, Su Changfeng’s voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Yu Changfeng turned around in shock and fear but didn’t see Su Changfeng’s figure.

At this moment, Su Changfeng seemed to have transformed into a ghost, completely unseen.

"How could this be? Impossible, absolutely impossible." Yu Changfeng truly panicked, because he knew Su Changfeng was right next to him. However, his movements were so fast, almost reaching a level where the human eye couldn’t capture them, hence his disappearance.

But Yu Changfeng was a Primordial Level expert, how could he fail to capture the other’s movements?

Realizing this, Yu Changfeng was truly scared because this showed how glaring the strength gap between him and Su Changfeng was.

The previously confident Yu Changfeng seemed like a wilting eggplant. Initially, he thought he could fight Su Changfeng, but now it seemed he was thinking too much.

Fortunately, he still held Chen Qingqing’s life in his hands, and surely Su Changfeng wouldn’t dare do anything to him.

"Yu Changfeng, are you certain you’ve seen my true strength?" Su Changfeng’s voice rang out again.

For a while, the atmosphere turned eerie. Mainly because of the scene of hearing the voice but not seeing the person, which was truly unsettling.

"Sect Master Su’s strength probably could crush everyone in Tianyuan Continent." At this moment, Hua Qingyao suddenly said, her heart increasingly infatuated with Su Changfeng.

"Looks like Yu Changfeng has really cornered himself. He has lived to such an age, but ended up dying over something like this; it’s truly lamentable." You Meng said indifferently. A Primordial Level expert inherently possesses a thousand-year lifespan. In this long period, as long as one can find a way to become a Holy Spirit Realm expert, they can truly achieve immortality.
