Su Changfeng reveals he killed the Emperor's envoy and destroyed the Changfeng Sect and Chenguang Hall's alliance. The Emperor grows anxious as he receives no news from the Changfeng Sect, suspecting Su Changfeng's defiance. Meanwhile, Wang Junyi and Baili Luoyuan are detained, with Baili Luoyuan worrying about the potential consequences for her Qingluan Sect if Su Changfeng clashes with the Emperor.

"Could it be that you know that person?" Baili Luoyuan looked at Wang Junyi with a face full of curiosity. She’d already been feeling it was strange—given Su Changfeng’s current reputation, how would any ordinary person dare go looking to make trouble for the Changfeng Sect?

Back when Su Changfeng fought the thirty experts of the Situ Family, the matter had practically spread throughout all of Xingluo. Since the other side clearly knew Su Changfeng’s strength, why would they still go courting death?

"He’s You Meng’s younger brother, seems to be called Yu Changfeng." Wang Junyi said.

You Meng was You Meng; Baili Luoyuan had long since known that much.

But she’d never heard of You Meng suddenly having a younger brother. The key thing was that the name Yu Changfeng felt inexplicably familiar, like she’d heard it somewhere before.

"Yu Changfeng... I keep feeling like I’ve heard that name somewhere." Baili Luoyuan said, furrowing her brows.

"Sect Master Baili, you know him?"

Not sure what she’d just thought of, Baili Luoyuan’s eyes suddenly widened, a flash of terror streaking through them!

With Baili Luoyuan’s level of strength, she had naturally never left Xingluo, but that didn’t stop her from knowing the big name Yu Changfeng. That Primordial Master from Dongling was quite famous—many people within the Xingluo Territory knew of him.

She never imagined that the one going to the Changfeng Sect to stir up trouble would actually be Yu Changfeng. Baili Luoyuan’s heart sank hard.

Wasn’t Yu Changfeng in Dongling? How could he appear within Xingluo, and of all things, specifically go hassle the Changfeng Sect?

"How would your master know Yu Changfeng? Don’t tell me those two have some kind of grudge?" Baili Luoyuan asked with a frown.

If there was no enmity between them, then how could a powerhouse like Yu Changfeng—who was also a top expert from another country—show up out of nowhere to make trouble for Su Changfeng?

Wang Junyi shook his head. After all, he hadn’t followed Su Changfeng for very long. If there really was some past grievance between them, it was probably from long ago, and he naturally wouldn’t know.

"I don’t know, but my master has never mentioned him." Wang Junyi said.

Baili Luoyuan felt somewhat helpless. If the troublemaker had been anyone else, then with Su Changfeng’s strength, he’d likely be able to handle it easily. But this time, the one coming was Yu Changfeng, a Primordial Level powerhouse, which made things much more troublesome.

Of course, Baili Luoyuan would never have imagined that this top expert of Dongling Country was already dead and gone.

"Sect Master Baili, you mean that guy named Yu Changfeng is really tough to deal with?" Noticing Baili Luoyuan’s reaction, Wang Junyi felt a bit uneasy. He knew he was just a small fry from Tianshui City, and his understanding of the outside world naturally couldn’t compare to Baili Luoyuan’s.

Moreover, judging from Baili Luoyuan’s reaction, she clearly knew who this Yu Changfeng was.

"Yes, very hard to deal with." Baili Luoyuan smiled bitterly and said to Wang Junyi, "Yu Changfeng, a Primordial Master within Dongling’s borders—tell me, does that sound easy to deal with?"

"What! A Primordial Master!!" Wang Junyi froze, his eyes snapping wide open. In his view, a Primordial Level expert was no different from a lofty god—someone no one could possibly contend against.

But then why would such a person have a grudge with his master, and even travel all this way to cause trouble for him?

"Now you finally understand." Baili Luoyuan said helplessly.

Wang Junyi stared at her blankly, then suddenly shook his head and said, "That can’t be right. Absolutely impossible. How could a Primordial Master from Dongling suddenly come to Xingluo? Is it possible it’s just someone with the same name?"

Baili Luoyuan had thought the same at first. After all, the Tianyuan Continent was so vast that having people with the same name wasn’t strange at all.

But thinking it over again, she denied her own guess. Given how widely known Su Changfeng’s name was, how would an ordinary person have the guts to challenge him? And they’d even directly snatched Su Changfeng’s little sister.

The battle at Shuanghu Mountain earlier was more than enough to show the world Su Changfeng’s strength. Unless someone was tired of living, why would they take the initiative to go provoke Su Changfeng?

Besides, in Baili Luoyuan’s impression, among the many experts of Xingluo, none were named Yu Changfeng. So this Yu Changfeng was very likely that same one from Dongling Country.

"That’s probably unlikely. And honestly, who would dare challenge your master? The impact from your master’s battle against the Situ Family’s thirty experts was enormous—you of all people should know that, right?" Baili Luoyuan said.

At the mention of his master’s influence, Wang Junyi couldn’t help nodding, his face brimming with pride.

"Of course I know. Ever since that battle, many clans within Xingluo Territory have tried to win my master over, but my master is upright and noble, and he simply looks down on them." Wang Junyi said.

"Exactly. So this Yu Changfeng you’re talking about—other than being that Primordial Master from Dongling Country—do you really think it could be anyone else?" Baili Luoyuan shot back.

"Sigh." Hearing this, Wang Junyi couldn’t help but sigh as well. Before knowing Yu Changfeng’s identity, he naturally had full confidence in his master’s strength. But after learning who the opponent was, he started feeling unsure.

The main thing was that in the hearts of people on the Tianyuan Continent, Primordial Masters were simply too powerful. Though he believed his master was very strong, when it came to facing a Primordial Master, he didn’t have much confidence at all.

"You don’t need to worry so much. That person has probably gone to the Changfeng Sect as well. If she helps your master, this whole matter might be resolved." Baili Luoyuan said.

"That person?" Wang Junyi looked at Baili Luoyuan, baffled, not understanding who she meant.

"That little beggar who’s been following your master all this time." Baili Luoyuan said.

"You Meng? How is she supposed to help my master? She’s just a bit pretty—that doesn’t do much." Wang Junyi said.

Baili Luoyuan naturally understood that You Meng had been hiding her identity all along, so it was normal that Wang Junyi didn’t know. But if Wang Junyi learned You Meng’s true identity, he probably wouldn’t dare talk like that.

"She’s actually You Meng. You might not know Yu Changfeng, but surely you at least know who You Meng is." Baili Luoyuan said.

"You Meng... of course I know her, she..." Just as he said that, Wang Junyi’s eyes went wide, his face full of disbelief. You Meng was You Meng—the little beggar who’d been following them all this time was actually a Primordial Master of Xingluo?

"Wh-what... You Meng... You Meng is You Meng?" Wang Junyi’s speech even started to falter, his tone full of guilt. Thinking carefully, he realized that when he’d spoken in front of You Meng before, he hadn’t held back at all.

"That’s right, she told your master herself earlier. The last time the three of us met the Emperor together, she personally confirmed that she is You Meng." Baili Luoyuan said.
