The City’s Strongest Son-in-law Chapter 1454 - 1453: A Thorny Problem

"Ignorant, I’ve never cared about power, what’s the big deal about being the number one in Xingluo?" Su Changfeng said indifferently.

"Master, if the Shen Family in Tianshui City knew you became the Emperor, Shen Rushuang would probably regret it to death, right?" Wang Junyi said with a smile. He could fully imagine Shen Rushuang’s expression of deep regret. Perhaps the current Shen Family is already regretting not keeping Su Changfeng back then.

Su Changfeng didn’t care about these things at all. The Shen Family was merely a minor episode in his life. Besides, the matter had long passed, and how the Shen Family viewed him no longer had any relevance to Su Changfeng.

Even if the Shen Family regretted it, what could they do? The reason he stayed with the Shen Family back then was merely to use them to conceal his identity.

"If you’re curious, go back and see for yourself." Su Changfeng said.

Wang Junyi actually wanted to go back and show off, but now was the most critical moment, and he certainly couldn’t just leave casually.

Given his current status, even the experts in Chenguang Hall had to serve him carefully. Compared to the common folks in Tianshui City, he preferred the flattery of the powerful.

"Master, how could I leave? I still have to stay and take care of you, old man." Wang Junyi said shamelessly.

As they spoke, the two people on the bed finally regained consciousness.

Su Changfeng immediately noticed and walked over.

Their condition was still somewhat weak, but that was normal. After all, they had suffered severe injuries and still needed good rest.

"Are you alright?" Su Changfeng looked at the two and asked.

You Meng was still quite weak, but seeing Su Changfeng and Wang Junyi there, she roughly understood the outcome of the Emperor and then looked at Su Changfeng and said, "Are you already the Emperor?"

"That’s right, my master is so powerful that he easily defeated that old guy." Su Changfeng hadn’t had a chance to say anything when Wang Junyi spoke first.

You Meng smiled helplessly. She never expected that someone could defeat the Emperor. It’s known that the Emperor in Chenguang Hall was a presence feared even by Primordial Masters.

Yet Su Changfeng did it, without even a scratch on him.

"You’re already a Holy Spirit Expert now, aren’t you?" You Meng asked again.

Wang Junyi couldn’t help answer this question because he wasn’t sure what Su Changfeng’s current strength was.

Su Changfeng raised an eyebrow and glanced at Wang Junyi, asking, "Aren’t you going to help me answer that?"

Wang Junyi laughed awkwardly and said, "Master, how would I know that?"

"I am indeed a Holy Spirit Expert now, but even with my strength alone, I couldn’t contend with the Silver Flood Dragon." Su Changfeng said, understanding You Meng’s curiosity, so he didn’t hide anything.

You Meng thought that once Su Changfeng became a true Holy Spirit Expert, he could certainly battle the Silver Flood Dragon. But he said he couldn’t compete with it, what does that mean?

"What do you mean? An expert in the Holy Spirit Realm should be able to handle the Silver Flood Dragon, right?" You Meng looked at him skeptically.

In the Tianyuan Continent, the Holy Spirit Realm is the highest realm. Therefore, in You Meng’s view, it should be an invincible existence. In that case, what is the Silver Flood Dragon?

Since there were no outsiders in the room, Su Changfeng did not hide anything and explained, "Previously, when I was absorbing nature’s spiritual energy, I communicated with the Silver Flood Dragon."

Communicated?

Upon hearing this, a trace of astonishment appeared on the faces of You Meng and Baili Luoyuan.

Isn’t the Silver Flood Dragon an exotic beast? How could it communicate with humans?

Moreover, Chenguang Hall is a thousand miles away from the Sourceless Forest, so how could they possibly communicate?

"It does sound somewhat incredible, but that’s the truth. Also, the Silver Flood Dragon told me that it was trapped in the Sourceless Forest not because the array was that powerful; it was intentional. Even in the formation of the array, it had a hand." Su Changfeng said.

Ridiculous, simply ridiculous. You Meng couldn’t accept such an explanation at all.

Why would the Silver Flood Dragon want to be trapped by the array? What benefit could there be in sleeping for a thousand years? Saying it had a hand in forming the array is just absurd.

"It’s definitely lying." You Meng said with certainty.

Su Changfeng shook his head. He had also speculated whether the Silver Flood Dragon was intentionally misleading him, but after thinking carefully, he still felt the Silver Flood Dragon had no reason to lie to him. What would it gain from it?

"Why do you say that?" Su Changfeng asked.

"The Holy Spirit Realm is the strongest; it’s the pinnacle of the Tianyuan Continent. A thousand years ago, to trap the Silver Flood Dragon, many strong beings sacrificed their lives. It’s documented in the ancient books that the gathered power of many experts was comparable to the Holy Spirit Realm, which is why they could trap the Silver Flood Dragon. In the face of the Holy Spirit Realm, no one can resist, not even the Silver Flood Dragon." You Meng said.

Given You Meng’s entrenched beliefs, it’s understandable she has such thoughts. However, regrettably, the Silver Flood Dragon had also told him it wasn’t a lifeform of the Tianyuan Continent but came from the Third World.

"If I told you that the Silver Flood Dragon doesn’t belong to this world, would you still think that?" Su Changfeng said calmly.

Doesn’t belong to this world?

You Meng was instantly stunned.

Baili Luoyuan couldn’t help but widen her eyes.

Even Wang Junyi’s legs went soft, nearly falling to the ground.

After a moment of silence, Su Changfeng continued to explain, "It came to the Tianyuan Continent to avoid its opponent. Although I don’t know if these words are true, I believe it has no reason to lie to me."

"Master, does that mean the Tianyuan Continent can’t deal with the Silver Flood Dragon?" Wang Junyi looked at Su Changfeng with a panicked expression. Despite his not-so-bright mind, he still seriously considered this matter.

If the Silver Flood Dragon truly came from a more powerful world, then its inherent strength would certainly surpass that of the Tianyuan Continent.

Su Changfeng glanced at You Meng. If they really wanted to defeat the Silver Flood Dragon through force, there might be no hope. However, the plan he discussed with You Meng earlier, although it sounded a bit far-fetched, was still a good approach.

You Meng naturally understood Su Changfeng’s meaning. In her heart, she knew that if the Silver Flood Dragon indeed came from a higher-level world, then perhaps only the power of Heavenly Punishment could help them win this battle.

"I understand. I’ll make sure to work hard and improve my strength." You Meng said.

Su Changfeng nodded and then said to You Meng and the others, "Let’s discuss these matters later; you all rest well."

Upon leaving the room, Wang Junyi hurriedly came over.

"Master, is the Tianyuan Continent going to be destroyed?" Wang Junyi looked at Su Changfeng with a worried expression.
