Chapter 1214: Chapter 1213: Shocking Bombshell

After parting ways with Shen Hanxue, Su Changfeng didn’t linger. Originally, he planned to let Chen Qingqing stay, but Chen Qingqing was adamant about leaving, leaving no room for negotiation. Helpless, he had to return with Chen Qingqing.

Tuo Shi, Shangyun Pavilion.

Elder Wu’s mood has been very complex lately. His previously made plans were completely disrupted by Su Changfeng. The key issue is that Su Changfeng insists on personally going to the Outer Domain, which truly makes him feel conflicted.

Even though he knows Su Changfeng is indeed more suited to go than himself, he can’t help but feel a little regretful. For Elder Wu, it’s astonishing that Su Changfeng can display such formidable strength at such a young age; his future development definitely won’t stop here. If given more time, he would certainly become even stronger.

Perhaps, in the future, Tuo Shi would have to rely on him for survival.

However, if Su Changfeng goes to the Outer Domain, Tuo Shi might lose such a talent, a result Elder Wu doesn’t want to see.

"Elder Wu, from my observation of Su Changfeng, I don’t think you can stop his decision, so the matter is settled, and you don’t have to worry so much," the assistant advised.

Though he hasn’t known Su Changfeng for long, he can see the persistence and stubbornness in Su Changfeng’s bones. Since he said he wants to personally visit the Outer Domain, it’s as sure a thing as carving the words in stone. Elder Wu doesn’t need to entangle himself further.

"Even so, how could I not worry about it?" Elder Wu couldn’t help but sigh.

The assistant’s words are understood, but understanding in no way dispels the discomfort.

"To be honest, I really admire Su Changfeng now. Among Tuo Shi’s newcomers, none dare to venture into the Infinite Cave, yet he not only ventured into the Infinite Cave but also dares to go to the Outer Domain. Such courage and determination make me feel ashamed," the assistant expressed with emotion.

"What use are courage and determination? When facing powerful enemies, they are of no help," Elder Wu said despondently.

The assistant smiled slightly and said, "Elder Wu, what kind of talk is that? Su Changfeng not only has courage but also has strength. What is there that you don’t believe about that? In less than a month, he became a Heavenly Level expert, a success no one can replicate."

Hearing this, Elder Wu was silent. The record Su Changfeng created indeed seems unprecedented and unmatched, but precisely because of his excellence, Elder Wu doesn’t want to see him die in vain.

"Do you think he really got out of the Infinite Cave as he said? Could it really be like he claims?" Elder Wu couldn’t help but ask.

He had pondered this question many times, mostly because Su Changfeng’s explanation seemed somewhat far-fetched. He suspected things weren’t as simple as they sounded.

"Regardless of whether it’s as he said, if he hasn’t told us, there must be his reasons, so there’s no need to entangle ourselves with this matter," the assistant said.

In his view, Su Changfeng must have concealed some things, but since he doesn’t say, there must be his reasons, so there’s no need to delve into it further.

"What’s gotten into you now? Why do I feel like you keep speaking up for him?" Elder Wu glared at the assistant angrily.

The assistant awkwardly scratched his nose and said, "Elder Wu, he is so outstanding, of course, I should speak up for him. Talents are hard to find. Treating him well is naturally the right thing to do. Just look at Yin Zhengyuan; over the years, that old man has always been picking fights with Shangyun Pavilion, but now, with Su Changfeng, he’s been much quieter."

Upon hearing this, Elder Wu couldn’t help but chuckle. Since Su Changfeng emerged from the Infinite Cave, Lingxiao Pavilion’s people have been much more well-behaved, no longer causing trouble for Shangyun Pavilion without reason. Even Yin Zhengyuan has repeatedly praised Su Changfeng, a very rare occurrence.

"You’re right; having Su Changfeng has brought much harmony to Tuo Shi," Elder Wu said.

"However, Guan Shan has suffered a big blow. I doubt he’ll recover any time soon," the assistant remarked with some regret.

Before Su Changfeng appeared, Guan Shan was Tuo Shi’s proud son of heaven, unrivaled in reputation. But now, everyone remembers Su Changfeng; who even thinks of Guan Shan?

This discrepancy is indeed a huge blow to Guan Shan. If he can’t adjust his mindset, this setback might hinder him for life.

"The title of a proud son of heaven has been on Guan Shan for too long, so long that he has forgotten who he is. This opportunity lets him see reality clearly, facilitating his growth. Besides, he no longer needs our concern; it won’t be long before he’s with Lingxiao Pavilion," Elder Wu stated.

The assistant smiled slightly. He was very angry at Guan Shan’s actions back then. They at Shangyun Pavilion had expended so much effort to nurture him, yet he chose Lingxiao Pavilion, a figurative slap in the face. But now, the assistant doesn’t feel much about it anymore, even thinking the matter unimportant.

They now have Su Changfeng, someone who can completely overshadow Guan Shan, so Guan Shan’s departure means nothing for Shangyun Pavilion. Therefore, he doesn’t care anymore.

"Indeed, it doesn’t matter what choice he makes now. Tuo Shi’s focus is all on Su Changfeng; who cares about him?"

Two days later, Su Changfeng returned to Tuo Shi. The day he came back, he shocked everyone in Tuo Shi again.

He actually planned to re-enter the Infinite Cave.

The matter spread throughout Tuo Shi like wildfire, delivering shockwaves to everyone.

Especially to all the Heavenly Level experts. They are aware of the horrors of the Infinite Cave, knowing that escaping alive is entirely a matter of luck. Having gotten out once, and with great difficulty, Su Changfeng wants to go back in! Everyone thinks he’s gone mad and can’t understand what Su Changfeng is thinking.

Even Elder Wu, upon learning of Su Changfeng’s intention, didn’t hesitate to stop him.

"No, definitely not. You’ve already been there once; you must know how dangerous the Infinite Cave is. You might have come out by luck once, but can you come out alive a second time?" Elder Wu was so upset he was jumping up and down in anger. He now feels that Su Changfeng has truly become reckless; knowing the perils inside yet planning to go in is sheer insanity!

"Elder Wu, can’t you calm down? Don’t worry; since I have the guts to go, I’ll come back alive," Su Changfeng said, seemingly indifferent.

For others, the Infinite Cave is indeed perilous, with bad luck meaning no way out. However, for Su Changfeng, with the White Jade Python’s protection, it’s entirely a matter of free movement!

He has his reasons for going.

While Su Changfeng doesn’t yet know why the White Jade Python shows him kindness, he’s certain taking it to the Outer Domain will be much safer.

Moreover, those fruits in the Infinite Cave, he wants to take some. After all, they can boost his strength and might serve a vital role when needed.
