The City’s Strongest Son-in-law Chapter 1432 - 1431: A Missed Opportunity

After discussing nervously, they were too terrified of Su Changfeng and decided to leave immediately.

Even if they leave, they could still give the Emperor an explanation. As long as they tell the Emperor how Su Changfeng dealt with Yu Changfeng, the Emperor probably wouldn’t do anything to them.

However, this is the Changfeng Sect; it’s not a place they can just leave as they please, is it?

Back in Tianshui City, Su Changfeng had already killed some of the Emperor’s people. Now, he naturally wouldn’t mind killing a few more.

Even though Su Changfeng’s attention was on Yu Changfeng, he was still well aware of what was happening within the sect.

Just as a few sect elders were planning to leave quietly, Su Changfeng’s voice clearly came to their ears: "Leaving like this? Do you think my Changfeng Sect is a place you can come and go as you please?"

Upon hearing this, their expressions changed instantly.

"Sect Master Su, what do you mean? We are the Emperor’s people." one of them said to Su Changfeng.

These individuals originally looked down on Su Changfeng, but now, they instinctively called him Sect Master Su, indicating that Su Changfeng’s earlier tactics had indeed frightened them.

You Meng found it odd; Su Changfeng’s primary focus should be dealing with Yu Changfeng and extracting Chen Qingqing’s whereabouts from him, so why did he turn his attention to those elders?

"You Meng, help me kill them." Su Changfeng suddenly looked at You Meng and said.

You Meng was slightly taken aback; although with her strength, killing these people was trivial, she didn’t want to make enemies with the Emperor. If they died in the Changfeng Sect and the Emperor knew it was her doing, how could she explain it?

Just as You Meng hesitated, the people in the distance suddenly exploded, giving them almost no time to react.

You Meng suddenly felt as if something brushed past them, and that sense of loss made her feel uncomfortable.

"What do you mean by this?" You Meng looked at Su Changfeng with displeasure and questioned.

Su Changfeng ignored You Meng; he originally intended to draw You Meng over to his side, but her hesitation made him abandon this idea.

If it were Wang Junyi, even if he couldn’t defeat the opponent, Wang Junyi would still make a move. This is a form of loyalty, and clearly, You Meng did not possess that loyalty.

"Yu Changfeng, you’d best take me to see Chen Qingqing, or all your efforts will vanish into smoke." Su Changfeng said to Yu Changfeng.

At this point, Yu Changfeng was completely broken. How could he be willing for his years of effort to just dissipate like this? Moreover, he hadn’t expected Su Changfeng to be so domineering. If he remained stubborn, not only would he not obtain the Fate Fruit, but his cultivation might also be completely destroyed.

More crucially, Yu Changfeng was afraid of death. He understood that when truly faced with death, he wouldn’t have the courage to continue tangling with Su Changfeng.

Yu Changfeng silently regretted, blaming only his own impulsiveness. He thought capturing Chen Qingqing could threaten Su Changfeng, but he forgot that Su Changfeng could kill him.

Facing death, Yu Changfeng had no grounds to negotiate with Su Changfeng anymore.

"She... she’s in Mingwu Mountain. There’s a cave midway up the mountain; your sister, your sister is there." Yu Changfeng compromised; he had no other choice. The dispersal of power terrified him, and he couldn’t accept such a thing. He had to give up on the Fate Fruit.

Whether Yu Changfeng was speaking the truth, Su Changfeng did not know. He wouldn’t easily trust this old fox, so he turned to Hua Qingyao and said, "Elder Hua, please, could you help me go and check?"

Hua Qingyao nodded without hesitation and said, "Sect Master Su, I will go check now."

Seeing this, You Meng felt increasingly empty inside. Although her strength far exceeded Hua Qingyao’s, why didn’t Su Changfeng let her go? She knew she could get to Mingwu Mountain faster and rescue Chen Qingqing more quickly.

Su Changfeng surely understood this, but why didn’t he let her do it?

You Meng felt like she had missed something, though she couldn’t quite pinpoint what it was.

"Su Changfeng, I haven’t lied to you. Can you let me go first?" Yu Changfeng looked at Su Changfeng with pleading eyes.

But Su Changfeng wasn’t planning to let Yu Changfeng go. Back on Earth, he’d learned that one must root out enemies completely to prevent them from retaliating, or else the troubles would multiply.

"Once I see the person, I will naturally release you." Su Changfeng said coldly.

You Meng silently sighed in her heart; since Yu Changfeng had challenged Su Changfeng’s reverse scale, how could he possibly leave unscathed?

Judging from what Su Changfeng did to the Emperor’s men before, Yu Changfeng’s end wouldn’t be good.

Hua Qingyao received her orders and rushed full speed ahead, partly out of respect for Su Changfeng’s power and partly because she wanted to leave a good impression on Su Changfeng.

Even though Hua Qingyao understood the vast gap between herself and Su Changfeng, what she yearned for inside might just be a dream, but this did not affect Hua Qingyao’s longing for such a possibility.

Such an impressive man like Su Changfeng is truly rare; once missed, one might never encounter another, so why would Hua Qingyao want to miss this?

"Actually, you could let me go. After all, I can bring people back faster." After hesitating for a long time, You Meng couldn’t help but ask the question in her heart.

"Because Hua Qingyao is more trustworthy." Su Changfeng said.

You Meng gnashed her teeth, though initially, she’d deceived Su Changfeng upon appearing by his side, she’d later been sincere with him, sharing secrets she hadn’t told anyone else. Was that not enough for Su Changfeng’s trust?

Was it just because she didn’t immediately take action against those people? She only hesitated for a moment, and Su Changfeng wouldn’t trust her then?

"Is it just because of what happened earlier?" You Meng couldn’t help but ask.

Su Changfeng remained silent, saying nothing.

Unwilling to give up, You Meng said: "Don’t I even have the chance to consider?"

"Though it’s just a bit of hesitation, it proves we’re not of the same mind. I won’t tolerate an unstable threat at my side; you should leave now and never appear before me again, or you can’t blame me for being impolite." Su Changfeng said coldly.
