The City’s Strongest Son-in-law Chapter 1449 - 1448: Familiar Aura

"Because it’s extremely dangerous in there. Mommy can’t beat what’s inside." the woman said.

The little one opened her grape-like big eyes and said, "Mommy’s the strongest. You really can’t beat what’s inside?"

"That’s right, Mommy still isn’t the strongest yet." The woman looked at her daughter, her face full of doting fondness.

The little one pursed her lips instead. She had clearly seen Mommy defeat many people, so in her eyes, Mommy was the most powerful. How could a little monster possibly beat Mommy?

"Mommy, what about Daddy, is he as strong as you?" The little one blinked her big eyes and asked.

The woman froze for a moment at those words, seeming somewhat hesitant, then said, "Right now Daddy can’t beat me, but in the future he’ll grow stronger and stronger. No matter how powerful the monster, it won’t be a match for Daddy."

"Wow, really?" The little one’s eyes instantly lit up. She clapped her hands and said, "I knew Daddy was the best!"

Just then, the woman’s gaze fell again in the direction of Xingluo. Even though where she was now was very far from Xingluo, she could still sense two forces in that direction intertwined and clashing. That level of power was far above a Primordial Master.

The woman’s lips curved slightly as she rubbed the little one’s head and said, "Niannian, I’ve found Daddy."

On hearing this, the little one immediately widened her eyes and asked anxiously, "Daddy? You found Daddy? Where is he?"

"Niannian, wait a little longer. Daddy should be fighting monsters right now. Once he defeats the monsters, he’ll come to find us." The woman said with a smile.

The little one nodded somewhat disappointedly, then clenched her soft pink little fists and said, "Daddy, you have to hurry, okay? Beat the monsters, then come pick me and Mommy up."

"Chang Feng, I’ve finally sensed your presence. You’re still alive—there’s nothing more I could ask for." the woman murmured.

On the summit of Wangyun Mountain, a light breeze kept blowing, dispersing the mist in the woman’s eyes. The corners of her mouth lifted in a smile, so beautiful it could topple a nation.

Just then, a figure suddenly walked over. It was the Emperor of Dongling.

In fact, he had already come several times. Unfortunately, every time he left in disappointment.

But he had never given up. After all, a master whose strength was this formidable was worth lowering himself to repeatedly court.

"You’re here." The woman spoke in a faint tone.

The Emperor smiled and said, "Before you agree to my request, I won’t give up."

"I’ve already said, I have no intention of joining Dongling. Besides, I’ve already found the person I was looking for." the woman said.

The Emperor’s expression changed in an instant. From the meaning in her words, she intended to leave Dongling. In his eyes, that was anything but good news.

One had to know, if a master of such caliber went to another nation, for Dongling it would be no different than a catastrophic blow.

What was even more important was that Dongling’s number one expert, Yu Changfeng, had already died in Xingluo. If she were to leave as well, Dongling’s situation would become dire.

"Where is the person you’re looking for?" the Emperor asked curiously.

If it had been before, the Emperor would already have been kicked off the mountain by the woman. But her mood was quite good right now, so she had no intention of making a move. Since she was in decent spirits, she didn’t mind wasting a bit more time.

"Over there." The woman stretched out her hand and pointed toward Xingluo.

The Emperor’s face changed at once. The one thing he most didn’t want to see had still come to pass.

One had to know, within Xingluo there had already appeared a powerful master—this was the man who had killed Yu Changfeng. If this woman also intended to go to Xingluo, then Xingluo’s strength would definitely completely crush the remaining two nations.

"Xingluo has recently produced a master as well. Could it be that the person you’ve been searching for all this time is him?" the Emperor asked.

"You might as well tell me his name." the woman said.

The Emperor was very familiar with what was happening over in Xingluo, and Su Changfeng’s name had already spread throughout Xingluo long ago. The spies he had arranged over there had naturally sent the news back to Dongling at the first possible moment.

"His name is Su Changfeng." the Emperor said.

At his words, the smile at the woman’s lips grew even deeper. One could clearly feel that she was very happy at this moment.

The Emperor’s heart sank. From her reaction, it was easy to see that the person she’d been searching for was Xingluo’s Su Changfeng. For him, this news was an even heavier blow.

After all, once the two of them joined forces, Xingluo’s strength would surely soar sharply. He could fully imagine how, not long from now, Dongling would be crushed beneath Xingluo’s heel.

"Can you tell me your name? I’m very curious to know: the person who can challenge all of Dongling’s experts alone—who exactly are you?" The Emperor looked at her, somewhat unwilling to accept it, and asked.

The woman smiled, pure and peerless, and said, "Shen Hanxue."

...

At this moment, above Xingluo, vast masses of dark clouds were gathered together, accompanied by peals of thunder, as if heralding an impending storm.

Of course, what lay before them was not caused by the weather, but solely the result of the clash between Su Changfeng and the Emperor.

From that alone, one could tell what kind of peak-level duel this was.

With the battle having reached this stage, even You Meng, herself a Primordial Master, could no longer follow their movements. The sight before her left her inwardly shaken beyond words.

This was probably what true masters were—different from, and far beyond, the level she’d previously understood.

The Holy Spirit Realm, a realm countless experts could only look up to but never reach; a completely new world that shocked the heart. How could she not yearn for it?

"Elder You, can you still see Sect Master Su and the others now?" Baili Luoyuan, who had been staring up all this time, saw only a vast sheet of oppressive black clouds and heard the occasional rumble of thunder; she could sense nothing else at all.

This left her faintly worried. If Su Changfeng lost, they would not be able to leave Chenguang Hall alive, and it might even bring annihilating disaster down upon Qingluan Sect.

Baili Luoyuan was not afraid of death; after all, things had already reached a point beyond her control. Even if in the end she truly couldn’t escape death, she was willing to accept it calmly.

But she didn’t want the entire Qingluan Sect to be dragged down because of her. Therefore, in her heart she still hoped Su Changfeng could secure the final victory.

You Meng let out a sigh and said somewhat helplessly, "I can’t see them anymore. But you can rest easy—the Emperor’s strength is already gradually weakening. The outcome should be as you wish."

The Emperor’s current power was, after all, obtained from outside in a short span of time. The longer the fight dragged on, the more it would work against him. Su Changfeng was different. He now already possessed the strength of the Fake Holy Spirit Realm, so he could definitely endure longer than the Emperor. And on top of that, he had the White Jade Python’s support, so he should be the one holding the advantage.

Therefore, in You Meng’s view, the Emperor was destined to lose to Su Changfeng this time; it was merely a matter of time.
