The City's Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 1400: Chapter 1399: Even Experts Aren’t Omnipotent

"Aside from this reason, I truly can’t think of any other plausible explanation. But what kind of exotic beast could compare to the Silver Flood Dragon?"

They naturally did not know whether the Silver Flood Dragon was forced to awaken due to this reason, but the battle Yu Changfeng mentioned was undoubtedly real. After all, the commotion from the Sourceless Forest in recent days wouldn’t have been caused by the Silver Flood Dragon alone. If it wasn’t for a sufficiently powerful opponent, why would the Silver Flood Dragon cause such a racket?

"If what you’re saying is true, then for us, it can be considered good news," You Meng said.

Yu Changfeng, however, shook his head, obviously disagreeing with You Meng’s words.

"Have you considered that the battle between two exotic beasts in the Holy Spirit Realm might destroy the array? If the Sourceless Forest loses its array and the exotic beasts escape, then the Tianyuan Continent might really be destroyed completely," Yu Changfeng said.

This kind of event indeed had the potential to occur, and You Meng’s expression became somewhat helpless, mainly because the current situation had completely surpassed their ability to control.

Even though they were Primordial Masters, there were many things they couldn’t achieve. This feeling of helplessness and frustration was no different from that experienced by weaker individuals.

"I finally understand that even after becoming a Primordial Master, there are still many unavoidable things. Facing exotic beasts like the Silver Flood Dragon, there’s nothing to do but passively endure the attacks," Yu Changfeng sighed.

Since becoming a Primordial Master, he had never experienced such intense frustration, especially when recalling the fear he felt when first encountering the Silver Flood Dragon, a fear so deep it was etched into his bones.

"You must come with me to Chenguang Hall immediately so we can report this news to the Emperor," You Meng said.

"Is it really necessary? Even if the Emperor knows, he’s powerless," Yu Changfeng said. As far as he was concerned, the only solution was to wait patiently, unless someone could kill the Silver Flood Dragon, then it could truly end.

However, who could possibly kill the Silver Flood Dragon? It is a beast in the Holy Spirit Realm, and even masters of the Holy Spirit Realm might not be able to contend with it.

"We can’t just sit and wait for death, can we? We must think of a plan. If you’re unwilling to go, then at least keep still and stay in Fengming City—don’t go anywhere!" You Meng said.

She was never the type to sit and wait for doom, and even if solving this issue seemed nearly impossible, she still had to try.

"Fine, fine, I’ll go with you. What’s the point in staying here if you’re not around?" Yu Changfeng said helplessly.

The matter was urgent and pressing, so after making up their minds, they did not pause, leaving Fengming City that very day.

Meanwhile, within the Situ Family.

Situ Feng arrived outside Su Changfeng’s room. Regarding the items in the secret chamber, he was well aware of them; indeed, many legendary treasures were inside, and quite a few belonged to the formerly glorious Qiutang Clan.

Situ Feng didn’t understand how Situ Yuan acquired these items, but he knew they represented a massive fortune. The Family Head of the Situ Family had painstakingly accumulated them, and his task was to safeguard them well.

"What is it? Do you regret giving me those items?" Opening the door and seeing Situ Feng standing outside, Su Changfeng instinctively thought of the leg bone. This fellow certainly wasn’t as generous as he appeared; having taken the Situ Family’s treasures without letting anyone see inside beforehand, Situ Feng must definitely be reluctant.

"What are you talking about, Mr. Su? Since I agreed, I naturally won’t go back on it." If he claimed to not feel reluctant, it would surely be a lie. But since the items were given away, he would never contemplate wanting them back, let alone possessing such audacity.

"Why have you come to see me? Is there anything you need?" Su Changfeng asked.

"The two people you instructed me to monitor have left Fengming City today," Situ Feng said.

Since You Meng arrived in Fengming City, Su Changfeng had instructed Situ Feng to secretly keep tabs on her every move, mainly because You Meng was extraordinarily enigmatic; he had to be vigilant.

Nevertheless, she left so effortlessly, which Su Changfeng found peculiar.

"Left?" Su Changfeng asked again.

"Yes, the people I sent are still following them," Situ Feng said.

"Alright, you can go about your business now."

"Okay."

After closing the door again, Su Changfeng’s brow furrowed deeply. You Meng came by, but left without much entanglement, which was somewhat strange.

Or perhaps she had completed her task and he hadn’t noticed at all?

The thought of this possibility made Su Changfeng a bit uneasy.

Just then, knocking resumed outside, and from the aura, Su Changfeng could perceive the visitor was Chen Qingqing, so he said, "Come in."

Then, Chen Qingqing entered, her eyes weary, clearly exhausted from dealing with sect matters.

"You’ve really worked hard during this period," Su Changfeng spoke apologetically. He had long been accustomed to being a hands-off manager, thus these responsibilities usually fell to Chen Qingqing and Wang Junyi to handle.

"Brother Changfeng, are you aware of the commotion in the Sourceless Forest?" Chen Qingqing asked, looking at Su Changfeng.

Su Changfeng nodded; the commotion from that place was significant enough for him to notice, and he had also heard the circulating rumors on the streets.

In truth, Su Changfeng wasn’t entirely free from suspicion; after all, the disturbances in the Sourceless Forest started after the White Jade Python left—he instinctively wanted to connect the two events.

However, this was merely conjecture in his mind, and no one truly knew the reason behind it.

"I just heard another rumor saying the suppression array in the Sourceless Forest is nearing collapse. If it collapses, the exotic beasts inside will emerge, which seems like good news for us," Chen Qingqing said.

After all, they came to the Tianyuan Continent to address the threat it posed to their world. If the exotic beasts from the Sourceless Forest were released, they would naturally devastate the Tianyuan Continent, thereby fulfilling their mission.

"But as of now, we still don’t know how to leave the Tianyuan Continent, so this matter is not exactly beneficial for us," Su Changfeng said.

"You’re right, Brother Changfeng, do you think we should urgently search for a Space Tunnel to leave the Tianyuan Continent?" Chen Qingqing suggested.
