The City’s Strongest Son-in-law Chapter 1459 - 1458: Setting Out for the Sourceless Forest
Previously on The City’s Strongest Son-in-law...
Simply put, now is the best opportunity to deal with Silver Loch. If we don’t seize it, this crisis on Typeria Continent might never be resolved.
"I’ve returned this time to tell you... I’m planning to go into the Sourceless Forest," Su Changfeng said.
"Right now?" You Meng looked at Su Changfeng with disbelief. Though she’d guessed Su Changfeng intended to release her and use his Heavenly Punishment against the Silver Loch, she hadn’t expected him to act so hastily.
"Silver Loch’s power hasn’t fully recovered yet, so now is the best time to strike," Su Changfeng said.
Of course You Meng knew that truth, and since Su Changfeng had made up his mind, what could they say?
"Sect Master Su, have you really thought this through?" Baili Luoyuan, who had been silent for a long time, couldn’t help but ask Su Changfeng.
With her abilities, she certainly couldn’t be of much help, but she felt this needed careful planning. Such a hasty decision was undoubtedly very risky. After all, Silver Loch was terrifyingly powerful. A millennium ago, in order to seal the Silver Loch, almost all the masters on Typeria Continent fell, and now Su Changfeng plans to take it on single-handedly... How is this not suicide?
Besides, Su Changfeng doesn’t need to make such a large sacrifice. After all, this involves the fate of the entire Typeria Continent, so it should naturally be the responsibility of all its masters.
"Sect Master Baili, rest assured, now is indeed the best time. If we miss it, Typeria Continent will really be doomed. I can’t wait any longer," Su Changfeng said.
"Master, but... what if something happens to you, what should I say to Aunt Qing? She surely wouldn’t spare me," Wang Junyi said.
Of course, he wasn’t really worried about what Chen Qingqing might do to him; he just wanted Su Changfeng to reconsider, because the Sourceless Forest was so dangerous. What if something went wrong?
"If I really don’t come back, then Typeria Continent will probably be destroyed too. At that point, you will all be dead, so you won’t need to worry about how she’d treat you," Su Changfeng said with a smile.
As the most powerful person on Typeria Continent now, if even he perished in the Sourceless Forest, Typeria Continent might really be finished.
Wang Junyi’s heart sank, but he quickly changed his tone: "Master, I believe you can certainly return safely. After all, you’re so powerful, how could Silver Loch defeat you?"
Su Changfeng smiled helplessly at Wang Junyi’s self-comfort.
Actually, he wasn’t sure either. Silver Loch came from a higher tiered place and possessed intimidating strength, and Su Changfeng had no idea about its capabilities.
Moreover, whether Heavenly Punishment could injure it, Su Changfeng wasn’t certain. Everything could only be approached slowly.
If other better solutions existed, Su Changfeng wouldn’t be so reckless. Unfortunately, he had no better option.
"Okay, I’ve said what I needed to say, I need to set off now. Be careful, you all," Su Changfeng said.
Wang Junyi and the others escorted Su Changfeng outside, wanting to say something but ultimately saying nothing, silently watching him walk further and further away.
"Master, he should be alright, right?" Wang Junyi said dejectedly.
You Meng’s face was solemn; in her opinion, taking Silver Loch on alone was practically impossible for Su Changfeng. However, no one on Typeria Continent was qualified to assist, neither would those at the Primordial Level. They’d probably end up as cannon fodder, only dragging Su Changfeng down.
Yet, You Meng was unwilling to be so dispirited, so she told Wang Junyi, "In your heart, wasn’t your master always omnipotent? What, are you starting to doubt him now?"
Wang Junyi was stunned, exhaling a long breath, then said confidently, "Of course, I believe in my master, he’s the mightiest. He will certainly kill Silver Loch!"
You Meng smiled faintly; though Wang Junyi’s words seemed exaggerated, at times like this, they were comforting.
"Sect Master Baili, should we stay here or return to Longfeng Sect?" Wang Junyi asked Baili Luoyuan.
"Let’s return to Longfeng Sect," Baili Luoyuan said. Since Su Changfeng had left, staying at Chenguang Hall was pointless. Besides, she had been away for a while and still thought about the sect’s situation, so returning for peace of mind wouldn’t be bad.
Wang Junyi nodded, then summoned the Blood Lion.
"You Meng, let’s return then, and when my master comes back, you’re welcome to visit!" Wang Junyi said.
"Alright," You Meng nodded.
Then Wang Junyi and Baili Luoyuan mounted the Blood Lion, vanishing in an instant.
You Meng watched their departing figures, took a deep breath, and only after a long time returned to her room.
Longfeng Sect.
The news of Su Changfeng defeating the Emperor and becoming the new Emperor quickly spread to Longfeng Sect. Now this feat is likely known all throughout Xingluo Territory, making Longfeng Sect the premier sect within the territory, despite being newly established.
After all, the Sect Master of Longfeng Sect is now the Emperor, a status beyond all other sects.
While Longfeng Sect’s disciples were elated, Chen Qingqing felt vaguely worried. She always had the feeling that something must have happened to Su Changfeng.
A day later, when Wang Junyi and Baili Luoyuan returned safely, Chen Qingqing hurriedly flew to the sect’s entrance upon hearing the news.
However, she only saw Wang Junyi and Baili Luoyuan; Su Changfeng was nowhere in sight.
"Wang Junyi, where’s my brother?" Chen Qingqing quickly approached Wang Junyi, asking worriedly.
Wang Junyi clearly noticed the concern on Chen Qingqing’s face, but with too many people around, Sourceless Forest’s news couldn’t be leaked yet. So he suggested: "Aunt Chen, let’s find another place to talk; it’s not convenient here."
Chen Qingqing pulled Wang Junyi aside, heading straight to the back of Wanhua Mountain.
Wang Junyi felt powerless like a weakling, but in such situations, he felt helpless.
Once at the back of the mountain, Chen Qingqing released Wang Junyi and asked urgently, "What’s going on, has something happened to my brother?"
Wang Junyi quickly and honestly recounted everything he knew to Chen Qingqing, without any intention of hiding.
After listening to the entire account, Chen Qingqing turned to leave.
