The City's Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 1396: Chapter 1395: Familiar Power

When Situ Feng saw the hole in the door, he was shocked. Zhou Hongyun had clearly told him that even a Primordial Master couldn’t force open this door, yet Su Changfeng had done it.

This meant that Su Changfeng’s power already surpassed that of a Primordial Master?

"Since it’s your family’s Forbidden Land, you should lead the way," Su Changfeng said to Situ Feng.

"Thank you, Mr. Su." At long last, he could enter. Situ Feng was very excited because all the treasures of the Situ Family were stored here. Previously, only Situ Yuan was allowed inside, but now he could finally step in as well.

After Situ Feng entered, Su Changfeng followed.

In reality, it was just a secret chamber of modest size, but the objects inside dazzled the eyes. Out of the corner of his eye, Su Changfeng noticed a small wooden box in the corner.

Something inside the box seemed to draw him in. He walked over instinctively, feeling an indescribable sensation, yet it was strangely familiar.

Situ Feng also noticed Su Changfeng’s odd behavior and followed his gaze to the box in the corner.

To him, the box seemed like the least remarkable item among the treasures, but he was clear that whatever caught Su Changfeng’s attention was anything but ordinary.

However, he had already said before coming here that if Su Changfeng could open the secret chamber, he could choose anything inside, so Situ Feng naturally wouldn’t go back on his word.

"Mr. Su, are you alright?" Situ Feng asked with a puzzled frown, looking at Su Changfeng.

Su Changfeng shook his head. He couldn’t quite explain it himself; there seemed to be a power in the box that was invisibly drawing him in, yet he couldn’t determine what it was.

"Do you know what’s inside?" Su Changfeng asked.

Situ Feng didn’t have the privilege to come here before, so naturally, he didn’t know what was inside. He shook his head and said, "Only the Family Head could enter this place; I’ve never been here before."

Su Changfeng nodded and said, "Then what you said before should still hold, right?"

"Of course, if Mr. Su doesn’t mind, feel free to take it." Situ Feng felt a hint of reluctance, but there was nothing he could do. Besides, since it was something Su Changfeng had his eye on, did it matter whether he agreed or not?

Su Changfeng picked up the box, but instead of opening it, he walked straight out of the secret chamber.

His actions were entirely beyond Situ Feng’s expectations. Although he understood that the contents of the box were surely Su Changfeng’s, he never imagined he wouldn’t even get a glimpse of it.

"It seems the best treasure here belongs to someone else now." After Su Changfeng left, Situ Feng let out a long sigh.

Leaving the secret chamber, Su Changfeng went straight back to his room and closed the door to prevent anyone from suddenly coming in.

He had a vague feeling that the contents of this box were significantly related to him. The inexplicable attraction he felt in the Tuo Shi Forbidden Land had inexplicably disappeared after he arrived in the Tianyuan Continent.

But just a moment ago, in the Situ Family’s secret chamber, the familiar feeling reappeared.

Although Su Changfeng couldn’t confirm whether this familiar feeling emanated from the box, he believed there must be a connection between them.

Su Changfeng took out the box and slowly opened it. Inside, there wasn’t any rare worldly treasure, but rather something quite unremarkable. To the ordinary person, it would likely be considered an ill omen.

Inside the box lay a leg bone, seemingly already decayed.

The moment Su Changfeng saw the leg bone, he instinctively remembered the skull he had obtained on Earth. Although he wasn’t sure if the two belonged to the same body, they gave him the exact same feeling.

Su Changfeng took a deep breath. The skull he had obtained long ago had already fused into his body, and as for this leg bone, it too contained an unparalleled power. He believed that sooner or later, this item would also merge into his body.

Though he understood that this would greatly enhance his power, he was still puzzled as to how such a thing came about, who it originally belonged to, and how it could embed itself directly into his body...

All of these matters gave Su Changfeng a headache.

He vaguely realized that there might be a significant secret hidden in this, and if he wanted to uncover what that secret was, he would need to find the complete skeleton.

"Who are you, really? Are these things deliberately left for me?" Su Changfeng murmured.

At that moment, there was a sudden, urgent knock on the door. After securing his things, Su Changfeng went to open it.

Standing outside was Wang Junyi, looking breathless.

"What’s wrong?" Su Changfeng raised an eyebrow at him.

"Master, something happened outside," Wang Junyi said anxiously.

"I’ll warn you now, if it’s something trivial, I’ll have your head. What is it? Out with it," Su Changfeng said.

"Someone from the Chenguang Hall has arrived," Wang Junyi said. Although he’d experienced such a thing twice before, the pressure from the other side still instinctively made him tense, which is why he’d rushed over.

Hearing this, Su Changfeng furrowed his brow. Chenguang Hall had sent someone again? This was indeed a significant event; it was just unclear what the Emperor’s purpose was.

"Alright, let’s go check it out," Su Changfeng said.

Upon receiving the news, many informants in Fengming City also relayed the information as soon as possible.

Ever since the news of Su Changfeng’s plan to establish a Sect in Wanhua Mountain spread, many unfamiliar faces appeared in Fengming City; there were spies from various families as well as people from other Sects. Their sole task was to closely monitor Su Changfeng’s every move.

Now that someone from Chenguang Hall had come, they naturally had to hurry and report this news to their respective masters.

Accompanying Wang Junyi to Wanhua Mountain, Su Changfeng met the people from Chenguang Hall, and this time, unlike the lofty demeanor of the previous two occasions, the other party’s attitude was very amiable.

Upon seeing Su Changfeng, the visitor proactively approached and explained, "Sect Master Su, I am Bu Chen, an aide to the Emperor."

Bu Chen? The name has a distinctive ring to it, although Su Changfeng was unaware that this name represented a position of authority second only to one in Chenguang Hall.

As a trusted aide to the Emperor, Bu Chen held authority in Chenguang Hall that was second only to the Emperor himself. His personal presence in Fengming City underscored the Emperor’s emphasis on this matter.

"Hello, actually you can call me Mr. Su, or if you prefer, Chang Feng. I’m still not quite used to ’Sect Master Su,’" Su Changfeng said.
