The City's Strongest Son-in-law
Chapter 1190 - 1189: Leaving the Infinite Cave
The news of someone emerging from the Infinite Cave spread like a gust of wind across every corner of Expansion, leaving everyone first shocked, then skeptical. After all, the Heavenly Level task seemed insurmountable to most, let alone the fact that Su Changfeng had been in Expansion for less than a month and already became a Heavenly Level strong person.
"Impossible, impossible..." Yin Zhengyuan, upon hearing this news, also didn’t believe it. As the Squad Leader of Lingxiao Pavilion, he was naturally aware of the terrifying nature of the Infinite Cave. Even when he managed to emerge from it, it was sheer luck that helped him avoid all dangers, having stepped over his partner’s corpses to get out.
The commotion caused in the Infinite Cave a few days ago, in Yin Zhengyuan’s eyes, indicated that Su Changfeng must have encountered a formidable creature, hence he definitely couldn’t have survived.
"Let’s go, we must hurry to the Infinite Cave to check it out!"
Shangyun Pavilion.
Elder Wu was no less shocked upon hearing the news. Although he had clung onto a glimmer of hope, as time passed, he came to accept the reality of Su Changfeng’s death.
After all, he understood the nature of the Infinite Cave better than anyone. Despite his current strength, he still couldn’t face the creatures inside head-on and survive; how could Su Changfeng have accomplished it?
"Elder Wu, don’t you plan on seeing it for yourself?" The assistant noticed Elder Wu dazed and unresponsive, so he reminded him promptly.
Hearing this, Elder Wu finally seemed to come around, his eyes gleaming brightly, and he quickly said, "Let’s go, right now!"
At the exit of the Infinite Cave, both Su Changfeng and Chen Qingqing stood covered in dust and ash. Despite their ragged appearance, neither was injured; they had indeed emerged from the cave successfully.
"Brother Changfeng, we finally get to breathe fresh air; it wasn’t easy!" Chen Qingqing said with a smile to Su Changfeng.
"Indeed, it wasn’t easy. I reckon everyone thought we were dead." Su Changfeng couldn’t help but smile.
Actually, they could’ve come out a few days earlier, but due to greediness, they accidentally ate too much fruit, leading to some uncontrollable circumstances.
After consuming the fruits, Su Changfeng and the others felt a new surge of heat flowing through their bodies, unable to control it despite all efforts. It took quite a while to digest that sudden heat flow.
Though Su Changfeng didn’t fully understand what happened, he sensed the change in his body. After digesting the heat flow, his strength increased significantly, leading to suspicion that the fruits were the cause.
Another factor was the little snake they encountered inside. When Su Changfeng was about to leave the Infinite Cave, the little creature insisted on following him out. Naturally, Su Changfeng wouldn’t rashly bring it out.
After all, he was still unsure about the nature of the creatures in the Infinite Cave. If he just took it out and caused uncontrollable consequences, it would be beyond his capacity to manage.
"Brother Changfeng, do you plan to go back in and bring the little guy out later?" Chen Qingqing asked hesitantly.
This was essentially the condition Su Changfeng agreed to with the little snake, resulting in their successful escape from the Infinite Cave.
"If possible, taking it out wouldn’t be a big deal. But I should first find out what they really are," Su Changfeng replied.
Chen Qingqing nodded. Without the help of the snake, they probably wouldn’t have survived.
At this moment, more people arrived at the Infinite Cave’s exit, all of them Heavenly Level experts. Having seen the terrors within, they were incredulous upon seeing Su Changfeng come out unharmed.
"Looks like they all thought we were dead!" Su Changfeng laughed as he watched their reactions.
Chen Qingqing stuck out her tongue adorably, "To be honest, even I feel like I’m dreaming; I almost thought I’d die in there."
Su Changfeng nodded in agreement. Seeing the sunlight again, didn’t he feel the same way? The creatures’ fearfulness had indeed changed his perception. Given his strength, surviving the cave seemed impossible, yet fate was curious this way—they encountered a strange little snake, leading to a miraculous escape.
The key was that the little guy had no aggression, yet other creatures feared it, which puzzled Su Changfeng.
At this juncture, a hurried figure approached from afar.
Upon seeing the person, Su Changfeng couldn’t resist a slight smile forming on his lips.
"Su Changfeng, you, you really didn’t die?" Yin Zhengyuan rushed over wide-eyed, looking as if he’d seen something unbelievable.
"Elder Yin, it’s only been a few days; is it necessary to be so excited?" Su Changfeng teased.
Yin Zhengyuan exhaled heavily, barely suppressing his excitement. Though the shock he’d experienced was overwhelming, he could only manage to subdue it partially despite his efforts.
"There’s no need for such excitement, I’m perfectly fine. Unless Elder Yin wished for me to die in there?" Su Changfeng remarked.
Yin Zhengyuan quickly waved his hands; he wasn’t like Yin Lulu, his daughter who loathed Su Changfeng to the core. He had no such sentiment; between personal vendettas and Expansion’s future, he naturally prioritized Expansion.
"The surprises you bring to Expansion are numerous. Tell me, what did you encounter in the Infinite Cave? Explain the commotion from the past few days?" Yin Zhengyuan’s eyes shone with curiosity.
He was indeed eager to know what Su Changfeng faced in the Infinite Cave. If they truly confronted those creatures, how did they escape unscathed?
"Don’t rush, I assume Elder Wu is also curious, let me tell you both together. I wouldn’t want to repeat these matters constantly."
As his words fell, another figure approached swiftly—Elder Wu.
His reaction upon seeing the unharmed Su Changfeng mirrored Yin Zhengyuan’s earlier—an expression of disbelief.
"Su Changfeng, you, you really came out alive?" Elder Wu stared at him in amazement.
"Wow, why is everyone so excited? I feel quite flattered," Su Changfeng teased.
Elder Wu approached, inspecting Su Changfeng meticulously, murmuring, "How can this be? How did this happen? Coming out completely unharmed; it’s miraculous and unbelievable!"
Hearing this, Su Changfeng’s mouth twitched, and he asked slightly speechless, "Elder Wu, what do you mean? Are you wishing for my demise in the Infinite Cave too?"
Elder Wu quickly gestured no, promptly grabbing his arm, "Let’s hurry back to Shangyun Pavilion, and tell me everything that happened in the Infinite Cave!"
