Su Changfeng dismisses the need for imperial approval to act. He reveals his intention to eliminate the Emperor to ensure his Heavenly Punishment plan proceeds smoothly. Despite warnings from Baili Luoyuan and You Meng, Su Changfeng calmly states that he has already killed Yu Changfeng effortlessly, revealing his power far exceeds the Primordial Level. This revelation shocks Baili Luoyuan into agreeing to follow Su Changfeng, and they leave the city, bypassing the Emperor's summons, which enrages the Emperor.

"What!" The Emperor’s face darkened immediately, the anger in his chest could no longer be suppressed. He had originally been waiting for Su Changfeng to come to see him, but it turned out that the man had no such intention at all.

"Emperor, should we go and stop him? We can’t just let him leave like this, can we?" a subordinate asked worriedly.

Many experts are paying attention to the news here now. If they let Su Changfeng leave so easily, the Emperor’s reputation will definitely be affected, and who will sincerely submit to the Emperor in the future?

The Emperor gritted his teeth, his fists clenched tightly at his sides. He never expected Su Changfeng to be so arrogant.

"Su Changfeng, you are truly arrogant. Do you really think I can’t do anything to you?"

"Emperor, Su Changfeng and his group are about to reach the city gate. What should we do now?" the subordinate asked anxiously.

The Emperor’s face was gloomy as he said, "Since he doesn’t take me seriously, I will naturally make him pay the price. Notify the great experts, I want them to see with their own eyes that the Emperor’s power is not to be challenged."

The subordinate’s face changed; from the Emperor’s words, it was clear that he intended to take action personally!

It seems that Su Changfeng is really doomed this time. With the Emperor taking action personally, the consequences are beyond ordinary people’s imagination. Perhaps Su Changfeng will end up losing his life in Chenguang Hall.

"Yes." The subordinate didn’t dare delay any longer and quickly went to inform the experts of Chenguang Hall.

The Emperor was already burning with anger and couldn’t care less whether Su Changfeng would assist in dealing with the Silver Flood Dragon. In his eyes, no one could challenge his authority.

"Su Changfeng, I have already warned you and given you face many times, but you insist on courting death. Don’t blame me then."

Meanwhile, at the Chenguang Hall city gate.

Su Changfeng and his party hadn’t arrived yet when a lot of experts appeared near the city gate. Most of these experts had heard about Su Changfeng’s exploits. They came over just to watch the show, to see what final fate would befall Su Changfeng.

"This Su Changfeng is simply too arrogant, not even putting the Emperor in his eyes. It seems that his previous battle with three great experts made him so conceited that he’s lost his bearings."

"Yes, I also want to see how he plans to leave Chenguang Hall this time. With the Emperor taking action personally, he’s doomed."

"But it’s thanks to this guy. Without him, how would we have the chance to witness the Emperor’s true strength in person?"

"Hahaha..."

A group of experts were discussing heatedly, and everyone thought that Su Changfeng was doomed.

Soon, Su Changfeng and his party approached the city gate, but there was a large group of experts surrounding the entrance, so it wasn’t easy for Su Changfeng to leave.

"It seems the Emperor is really angry. All the experts of Chenguang Hall have come. I wonder what you will do?" You Meng said, frowning. It was obvious that this group of people was called by the Emperor. From this, it was evident that the Emperor was determined to teach Su Changfeng a lesson and at the same time warn the many experts.

"This is good too, let them see the Emperor’s downfall firsthand. This will make them obey and save me a lot of trouble," Su Changfeng said with a smile.

As for the scene before them, Baili Luoyuan felt a bit guilty, secretly observing Su Changfeng’s confident expression, her heart slowly began to harbor a trace of expectation.

Could this man really defeat the Emperor and take his place? If he indeed defeats the Emperor, Su Changfeng will truly become famous in Xingluo.

"Master, look, so many people have come, make sure to fight well and defeat the Emperor," Wang Junyi cheered for Su Changfeng at the right time.

Hearing this, You Meng rolled her eyes at Wang Junyi. From her perspective, challenging the Emperor at this time was not wise, and besides, the Emperor’s true strength had never been revealed, and Su Changfeng really shouldn’t challenge the Emperor now.

But Su Changfeng seemed unconcerned, merely curling his lips slightly.

Baili Luoyuan was more nervous, even though she knew Su Changfeng’s strength could easily kill Yu Changfeng and could stand against the Emperor. Nonetheless, the Emperor had been ruling Xingluo for so long that her awe of the Emperor was deeply rooted in her bones.

"Hmph, these people dare to look down on my master. Soon they will know who is truly the most formidable." Listening to the crowd’s disdainful words for Su Changfeng, Wang Junyi’s face was very unsightly. In his heart, his master was the most formidable, and what is the Emperor worth? Hearing the ridicule from those people, how could he possibly endure?

"Su Changfeng, are you sure you want to do this? The Emperor taking action will not leave these people idle, do you know that in Chenguang Hall, there are as many as a hundred experts?" You Meng couldn’t help but remind Su Changfeng.

There was still room to salvage the situation, and she hoped Su Changfeng could think carefully and not do anything he would regret.

"Then what do you want me to do? Kneel and apologize to him? And with so many people watching, he’s definitely not going to spare me." Su Changfeng said coolly.

"Can’t you endure a little? Acting impulsively never leads to any good." You Meng said.

"You Meng, are you afraid? Afraid that the Emperor will attack you? Or are you afraid that there won’t be any Fate Fruit in the future?" Su Changfeng looked at You Meng and asked.

If it weren’t for considering You Meng’s usefulness, Su Changfeng would never have agreed to keep such a woman by his side. Even if she were merely a pawn, Su Changfeng wouldn’t have liked it. In his eyes, this woman was always hesitant, and even at this point, she was still advising him to tolerate.

You Meng said no more, but Su Changfeng’s words hit her most genuine thoughts. She was indeed a bit scared because now she was on the same boat as Su Changfeng. If Su Changfeng died, she also wouldn’t have any good outcome.

If the Emperor knew she had made a pact with Su Changfeng, the Emperor definitely wouldn’t spare her lightly.

Although You Meng was not very old, deep inside she had no trace of youthful passion or fervor. As a Primordial Master, the things she worried about were indeed too numerous.

"Elder You, how come you are with Su Changfeng? Are you planning to stand with him against the Emperor?" At this moment, an elder stepped out of the crowd, looking at You Meng with reverence.

The elder’s words instantly placed You Meng in a dilemma because his question forced her to publicly choose a side, precisely what You Meng didn’t want to face.

"Elder You, the Emperor is about to arrive, you’d better keep your distance from him quickly, or else nothing good will come of it."

"Yes, yes, Elder You must understand the Emperor’s power in Chenguang Hall. If this guy is determined to court death, that’s his business. Are you going to get involved for nothing?"

"..."

Upon hearing the elder’s words, many people around also chimed in.
