Su Changfeng decisively killed the Primordial Master Yu Changfeng after he caused trouble. He then gifted a rare Fate Fruit to Hua Qingyao for her efforts and brought Chen Qingqing back. After healing Chen Qingqing and removing Yu Changfeng's lingering energy, Su Changfeng learned she lured Yu Changfeng away to protect their sect disciples.

But this wholehearted trust from Chen Qingqing is his source of comfort, and it is precisely because of this that Su Changfeng must ensure her safety.

Since he brought her to the Tianyuan Continent, Su Changfeng must take her back completely and safely.

"Brother Changfeng, what about Yu Changfeng?" Chen Qingqing asked curiously.

"He’s dead, along with those elders sent by the Emperor. I’ve killed them all. From this moment, the Changfeng Sect and Chenguang Hall are truly at odds. I suspect that even with the Silver Flood Dragon crisis, the Emperor won’t spare me," Su Changfeng said.

In fact, the way things were unfolding, Su Changfeng hadn’t expected it, but he wasn’t worried. He believed that there would always be a way out, and he was mentally prepared.

Meanwhile, in Chenguang Hall.

The Emperor had been paying close attention to the happenings at the Changfeng Sect, but no news had returned from there for a while, and the Emperor was getting anxious.

"What is going on? A whole day has passed, and there’s still no news?" The Emperor questioned his subordinates. The surveillance of the Changfeng Sect was usually given for the subordinates to handle, as such matters were too trivial for the Emperor to personally deal with. But he was too curious now and had run out of patience.

The subordinates found it strange too; with such a significant event at the Changfeng Sect, normally there would have been news returned, but now it’s been a whole day, and they still don’t know anything.

"Emperor, could something have happened to them?" a subordinate cautiously asked, typically the news would come back immediately, and the current silence suggested a possible mishap.

But would Su Changfeng really dare to act against them? When the Emperor initially sent people over, Su Changfeng had swallowed his anger and held back, indicating that he was wary of Chenguang Hall.

"You mean, Su Changfeng killed them?" The Emperor asked with a darkened expression.

"That’s one possibility, but I think Su Changfeng might not dare to act so boldly. I believe he has possibly detained them softly."

The Emperor nodded, also suspecting that Su Changfeng had them detained. He couldn’t believe Su Changfeng would be so audacious as to make a move against his people, as that would openly challenge him.

"Emperor, his disciple is still at Chenguang Hall. He will definitely come back, so there’s no need to worry," the subordinate reassured. Though they were unsure about what exactly was happening at the Changfeng Sect, once Su Changfeng returns to Chenguang Hall, they could learn more.

The Emperor nodded, feeling fortunate that he had left a way out, believing Su Changfeng would surely return to Chenguang Hall.

Meanwhile, at You Meng’s residence.

Wang Junyi and Baili Luoyuan were both detained here.

They sat in the pavilion, feeling somewhat helpless. After understanding the situation outside, they hadn’t considered running away.

With the Emperor’s people guarding this place, how could they have a chance to leave?

However, Wang Junyi wasn’t too troubled by this; being able to stay with someone as stunning as Baili Luoyuan was indeed rare.

Though Wang Junyi had feelings for Chen Qingqing, for someone born on the Tianyuan Continent, having multiple wives was quite normal, so his affection for Chen Qingqing didn’t prevent his appreciation for Baili Luoyuan.

Of course, Wang Junyi understood very well that a woman like Baili Luoyuan could only be matched by someone like Su Changfeng; he purely admired her without any ulterior motives.

"Sect Master Baili, do you think my aunt should be okay?" Wang Junyi asked worriedly.

Baili Luoyuan had already learned about the happenings at the Changfeng Sect from Wang Junyi. Though she didn’t know the opponent, Su Changfeng facing them should suffice, considering he dared to challenge the Emperor.

"Don’t worry; since your master has returned, he will surely rescue her," Baili Luoyuan assured.

Wang Junyi nodded proudly and said, "You’re right, Master is so capable; he will definitely succeed in saving her."

"Alas, compared to your master, I think we should be more worried." Baili Luoyuan sighed with resignation.

Wang Junyi shook his head, not sharing Baili Luoyuan’s concerns. Though they were detained by the Emperor, he believed Su Changfeng would surely come to rescue them.

"Sect Master Baili, rest assured, as long as Master handles the sect’s issues, he will immediately come to take us back," Wang Junyi said.

Baili Luoyuan sighed once again, feeling things weren’t as simple as he thought. Moreover, with Su Changfeng’s volatile temper, if he clashed with the Emperor, their safe departure remained uncertain.

"What are you thinking? Are you worried that we might never leave?" Wang Junyi asked with a smile.

"In times like these, you’re still able to laugh?" Baili Luoyuan frowned, looking at Wang Junyi.

Wang Junyi waved his hand quickly. He really didn’t find much to worry about with this matter, but he felt he didn’t deserve Baili Luoyuan, so he was only thinking casually.

"I mean to let you know, we will surely get out of here. Since he brought you to Chenguang Hall, he will also take you back properly. My Master has always been like that," Wang Junyi said.

Baili Luoyuan wanted to say something, but she didn’t know what to say. Although Su Changfeng could take her away, offending the Emperor and not being able to do anything against Su Changfeng, would the Emperor shift his fury to the Qingluan Sect?

Su Changfeng could stand against the Emperor, but her Qingluan Sect didn’t have such rights.

If the Emperor decided to deal with the Qingluan Sect, they might not protect the entire sect.

"Sect Master Baili, are you alright?" Wang Junyi couldn’t help but ask, as beauty frowned was indeed a unique charm.

Baili Luoyuan shook her head; her worries were merely concerns, so there was no need to share them with an outsider like Wang Junyi.

"It’s nothing," Baili Luoyuan shook her head and said.

Wang Junyi didn’t press further, knowing Baili Luoyuan, as Sect Master, had her matters which a small figure like him had no right to intervene.

"Alas," Wang Junyi couldn’t help but sigh, muttering to himself: "That guy is truly excessive. If he dared to harm my aunt, Master wouldn’t let him get away with it."
