The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 1157: Chapter 1156: Past and Present Lives

”No, no, Han Xue...” Su Changfeng was horrified and rushed over to try to stop it, but he was powerless, only able to watch Yang Ling turn into a skeleton.

At that moment, Su Changfeng felt as if he had witnessed Shen Hanxue’s entire life, and his heart ached to the point of breaking.

”What is going on? What the hell is going on?” Su Changfeng seemed to have lost his mind, pacing back and forth in the stone house.

Why did Yang Ling look exactly like Shen Hanxue?

Though the world is vast and there are many people who look similar, finding two people who look so much alike isn’t that simple, and Su Changfeng didn’t think it was a coincidence.

Now Yang Ling had truly become nothing but bones, and it was impossible to see any resemblance to Shen Hanxue, but Su Changfeng still felt that the woman sitting opposite him was Shen Hanxue.

Yang Ling, Shen Hanxue.

What exactly is the connection? What’s going on? The Stone Gate he could open? The stone house he could enter? Yang Ling who looked just like Shen Hanxue?

Su Changfeng’s mind buzzed as he fell to the ground, like a lost child, unsure of what connection there was, but he was certain there was an undeniable link between Yang Ling and Shen Hanxue.

Is it about the past life and this life? The theory of reincarnation?

Elder Wu had also asked him before if he believed in past lives and the present.

He had answered without hesitation, not believing, as he was a pragmatist, thinking that past lives and present lives were just nonsense.

But now? After seeing Yang Ling’s appearance clearly, how could he explain all this?

Was Yang Ling actually Shen Hanxue? Could it be?

Su Changfeng covered his aching head, feeling like his brain was in a jumble.

Outside the Stone Gate, as time slowly passed, Yin Zhengyuan’s anxiety only grew.

”What could be taking him so long in there? Is that guy trying to hide everything inside in advance?” Yin Zhengyuan asked impatiently.

”Not everyone thinks the same as you do. Who knows if there’s anything inside the Stone Gate? You should think carefully before you speak!” Elder Wu said, somewhat angrily.

No matter what, Su Changfeng is still from Shangyun Pavilion, and for Yin Zhengyuan to speculate maliciously like this is basically implying something about the character of Shangyun Pavilion members.

”How could a place where Yang Ling resided be devoid of treasures? It’s all full of Tuo Shi’s secrets.” Yin Zhengyuan said.

”Even so, what can you do about it? Can you enter? Since Su Changfeng can enter, there must be a reason. If fate let him enter, whatever benefits he receives have nothing to do with us, so calm down.” Elder Wu said.

Yin Zhengyuan clenched his fists, determined not to let Su Changfeng have those things. He wouldn’t hesitate to kill for them if necessary.

Sensing the killing intent emanating from Yin Zhengyuan, Elder Wu said calmly, ”You’d better be aware of your own situation. You’re heavily injured, and I’m still here. Do you really think you can do anything?”

Reluctantly, Yin Zhengyuan released his grip, suppressing his inner fury. He knew full well that in his current state, he stood no chance against Elder Wu and the others, but he wouldn’t give up easily.

As soon as Su Changfeng emerged from the Stone Gate, he was determined to seize everything Su Changfeng had.

Meanwhile, in the stone house, Su Changfeng was slow to recover, unaware of what exactly was inside, his mind focused solely on the connection between Yang Ling and Shen Hanxue, puzzled by their striking resemblance.

”Perhaps there really is such a thing as past lives and present lives. Yang Ling might be Shen Hanxue’s past life,” he mumbled after a long pause.

He stood up, walked to Yang Ling, and even though the beauty had become a chilling skeleton, his gaze remained gentle, as if he was seeing not a skeleton, nor Yang Ling, but Shen Hanxue.

On Yang Ling’s chest was something like a pearl, emitting a faint glow. When Su Changfeng held it, a warm current gently flowed through his hand, soothingly warm.

”If you’re Han Xue’s past life, then this thing must belong to Han Xue,” Su Changfeng said.

After putting away the pearl, Su Changfeng temporarily suppressed his thoughts and began to examine the items in the stone house.

Many of the decorations indeed looked quite valuable, but in the end, they were just ordinary antiques without any special value. Tuo Shi wasn’t short of money, so these things were ultimately unimportant.

However, Elder Wu had mentioned that there might be secrets of Tuo Shi hidden here, so Su Changfeng naturally searched carefully.

Finally, Su Changfeng found a booklet written in traditional characters. Flipping through a couple of pages was enough to cause a storm in his mind.

In Tuo Shi’s core domain, there was a force known as Xuan Yang, enveloping the area, and training within this realm could alter a person’s constitution, making them stronger.

It was akin to cultivation as Su Changfeng understood it, except there was no mention of anything related to realm advancement, only the transformation of one’s physical form.

Of course, this might be because Yang Ling knew only this much, or perhaps Xuan Yang could only change these aspects, differing from traditional cultivation.

But compared to Xuan Yang, Su Changfeng was more curious about what exactly the relationship between Yang Ling and Shen Hanxue was.

Outside the stone house, night had gradually approached, and Yin Zhengyuan’s patience was wearing thin. If he hadn’t known he couldn’t pass the Stone Gate, he might have rushed in long ago.

Eventually, Su Changfeng emerged from the Stone Gate.

Yin Zhengyuan rushed forward, blocking Su Changfeng, and said sternly, ”Leave behind everything you brought out, or you won’t leave!”

After nearly a day’s rest, Yin Zhengyuan’s condition had significantly improved, making him appear quite formidable now.

Su Changfeng tossed the booklet in his hand toward him, saying, ”Here, if you want it, it’s yours.”

Just a tattered book!

Yin Zhengyuan’s expression instantly turned vicious as he gritted his teeth, ”Su Changfeng, do you think you can fool me with just this? Inside the Stone Gate, there are clearly many valuable Tuo Shi treasures.”

”You’re right. There are indeed many valuable antiques inside, but what meaning do they have for you? This tattered book contains records of the forces within Tuo Shi’s core domain. If you have no interest, then forget I said anything.”

Saying this, Su Changfeng bent down intending to retrieve the booklet.
