Chapter 1218: Chapter 1217: Matters of Principle

"Su Changfeng, no matter what, you must come back alive!" Elder Wu suddenly spoke, and from his tone, it seemed he had agreed to Su Changfeng going to the Outer Domain.

Yin Zhengyuan seemed surprised that Elder Wu would suddenly say something like this, and looked at him in shock, asking, "What are you talking about? Are you crazy too?"

Elder Wu smiled bitterly, thinking he was not crazy, but understood that none of them could stop Su Changfeng. The situation had already spiraled far beyond his control.

Speaking seriously, he had underestimated Su Changfeng’s strength, which is why his plans kept changing. It was now obvious that Su Changfeng was not negotiating with them but informing them of his decision.

"Do you think you can stop him?" Elder Wu looked at Yin Zhengyuan and said.

Yin Zhengyuan was taken aback, involuntarily recalling the events at Shangyun Pavilion. Back then, Su Changfeng had said no one could stop him, and Yin thought it was laughable, but now, looking back, it was indeed no easy task to stop Su Changfeng.

"Su Changfeng, we’re all thinking in your best interest." Yin Zhengyuan said earnestly.

"Elder Yin, facing significant issues, you are indeed upright, and I appreciate it very much, but since I’ve decided, I will not change it, so I hope Elder Yin can understand." Su Changfeng said.

Seeing the resolute expression on Su Changfeng’s face, Yin Zhengyuan couldn’t help but sigh. Things had reached this point, and he didn’t know what to say; he felt powerless inside.

"When are you planning to set off?" Elder Wu asked.

"Tomorrow." Su Changfeng replied.

"So soon? Can’t you wait a bit longer?" Elder Wu frowned.

"There’s nothing to wait for. If it’s delayed any longer, I’m worried something might happen. You must understand the anomalies at the Forbidden Land better than I do." Su Changfeng said.

Elder Wu nodded, agreeing with Su Changfeng that the sooner he went, the better.

"Do you have any other arrangements?" Elder Wu asked.

"Mu Tian and Wu Wen, I hope they can be under my command." Su Changfeng said.

"Alright, from now on, they will follow your orders. Only you can command them." As he finished speaking, Elder Wu turned to Yin Zhengyuan.

It’s important to note that Tuo Shi was not a place where Elder Wu made all the decisions, so this matter depended on Yin Zhengyuan’s opinion.

Yin Zhengyuan sighed and said, "Lingxiao Pavilion will grant them special privileges. From now on, whatever they need, Lingxiao Pavilion will not refuse."

"Thank you, Elder Yin. I’ll take my leave now." With these words, Su Changfeng left.

Yin Zhengyuan couldn’t help but sigh again. In all the years, Tuo Shi had never encountered such a talented individual. Yet, he insisted on going to the Outer Domain to seek death, which left him feeling somewhat uneasy.

"If he could stay in Tuo Shi, he would undoubtedly be a great help in the future. Are you losing your mind not advising him? After all, you are his master!" Yin Zhengyuan said.

"What master am I? It’s just what you think. From beginning to end, we were never master and disciple. Besides, he often has great luck. If he goes to the Outer Domain this time, he might achieve something extraordinary. It’s too early to conclude." Elder Wu said.

"Even so, staying in Tuo Shi would be safer. We can’t be certain what the Outer Domain holds, and who knows what dangers he might face next?" Yin Zhengyuan said.

Elder Wu appeared indifferent, clearly having other plans in mind.

In the current situation of Tuo Shi, remaining passive was undoubtedly a dead end, otherwise, he wouldn’t have planned to go to the Outer Domain himself previously.

For Elder Wu, defense was not as effective as offense. To completely resolve this threat, it’s best to address the source. Otherwise, the crisis from the Outer Domain would remain a perpetual threat.

"As things stand, we can only trust him."

Su Changfeng and Chen Qingqing went to the Yellow Level again.

Mu Tian and his disciple’s strength are now incomparable to the past. They felt very grateful to Su Changfeng, so when he appeared, they knelt down.

If not for Su Changfeng, their lives would probably remain stagnant, without a chance to advance, but now, they are filled with expectations, eagerly awaiting next year’s advancement competition, confident of becoming Earth Level experts.

Seeing the two perform a kneeling ceremony, Su Changfeng did not stop them and directly said, "I came this time hoping you would leave Tuo Shi and go to Jiang City."

"We are naturally willing to follow your instructions, but Tuo Shi has rules, and we don’t know how to leave." Mu Tian said.

"From this moment on, you only need to follow my commands. I’m the only one who can order you. This is agreed upon by Elder Wu and Su Changfeng, so you need not worry." Su Changfeng explained.

Mu Tian was momentarily stunned, with a storm raging in his heart. Did Shangyun Pavilion and Lingxiao Pavilion really allow Su Changfeng to form his own faction?

Even though this faction had few members, it clearly showed how much Elder Wu and Yin Zhengyuan valued Su Changfeng.

"Alright, when do you plan for us to set off?" Mu Tian asked.

"Immediately. Ensure the safety of Shen Hanxue and Ye Nianhai. Starting today, keeping them safe is your only task. If anything happens to them, I will not spare you." Su Changfeng said sternly.

"Rest assured, even at the cost of our lives, we will protect them." Wu Wen said solemnly.

Su Changfeng produced two fruits and said, "In six months, eat them to enhance your strength."

Mu Tian and Wu Wen, very familiar with the effects of the fruit, were extremely excited and could barely speak coherently, only kneeling to thank Su Changfeng.

"As long as you obey my commands, I can guarantee your advancement to Heavenly Level experts." Su Changfeng said.

"Thank you, Mr. Ye, thank you, Mr. Ye."

"From now on, we will diligently assist Mr. Ye, never letting down his kindness!"

"Remember, regardless of who poses a threat to them, show no mercy, even if they are from Tuo Shi. Spare no one!" Su Changfeng said.

After Su Changfeng went far, Mu Tian and Wu Wen finally stood up.

Cherishing the fruits, Wu Wen spoke, "Master, does Su Changfeng mean he is going somewhere?"

Mu Tian reprimanded, "What Mr. Ye is doing is none of our concern. Our task is to complete his orders. Now go and pack your things, we’re heading to Jiang City immediately."

"Yes." Wu Wen said.

"Brother Changfeng, aren’t you giving them too much?" After they walked away, Chen Qingqing said unconsciously. The fruit, already scarce, had just been split, making her think it was a bit of a waste.
