The Dominance of the Son-in-Law: My Wealthy and Beautiful Wife

The crowd muttered amongst themselves.

At this moment.

Qin Feng, who had just left, suddenly came back!!

Everyone was shocked.

Large beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads.

Could it be... he heard all the bad things they just said behind his back??

It's over...

Qin Feng continued walking towards them.

The one who had just said he'd be food for the giant python was sweating profusely and quickly said, "Sorry, sorry, we were just... joking..."

"Right, right, we were all just joking." The others also hurriedly apologized awkwardly.

Qin Feng looked puzzled and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Huh?

The crowd exchanged glances.

He came back, was it not because he heard themselves speaking ill of him?

At this moment.

Qin Feng's gaze settled back on that large tree.

His eyes filled with surprise and curiosity.

Yes.

It was because of this tree that he came back.

The tree was huge.

It took five people to just about embrace its trunk,

and its branches and leaves covered a considerable area.

Strangely enough, what looked like it should be a towering tree was actually not tall at all; one could reach out and touch the lush foliage with a raised hand.

Such an anomaly was too strange, so it caught Qin Feng's attention.

Of course.

The reason why Qin Feng came back was that the more he looked at this tree, the more familiar it seemed!

The first time he saw it, he felt as if he had seen it somewhere before, and now upon closer inspection, it indeed seemed very familiar!

"Big brother, what's wrong?"

One-eyed Bald and the others asked suspiciously.

"I don't know, I just feel like I've seen this tree somewhere before." Qin Feng said, staring at the tree.

One-eyed Bald eyed the tree up and down, muttering, "This tree does grow strangely, it's almost like it has a buried section."

A buried section?

A lightbulb went off in Qin Feng's mind!

Right!

The reason this tree looks so strange might be because a large section of it is buried underground!

At the same time.

He also remembered where he had seen it!

He immediately took out a map and spread it open!

This map was the Heavenly Map fragment he had obtained from Old Drunkard!

On the map, Qin Feng saw a tall tree.

The top part of that tree, in terms of both shape and main branches, was identical to the one in front of him!

The difference was, the tree on the map was nine times taller than this one.

That is to say.

What was before him now was just the upper section of the tree!

The rest of the tree, all of it, was buried underground!

"So that's how it is!"

Qin Feng suddenly realized.

No wonder Old Drunkard spent so long in Qinling and couldn't find the location marked on the map.

It was inside the mountain itself!

"That means there should be space beneath the ground!"

Qin Feng said.

At this moment.

One person recognized the map in Qin Feng's hands as a fragment of the Heavenly Map and immediately got excited, his eyes widening as he said, "It's true, it's true, there is Energy Baryte hidden here! The location marked on his Heavenly Map is exactly here!"

Hearing this, the rest of the crowd also became excited.

Their various sects had sacrificed a lot here; if they got nothing out of it, that would be too great a loss, at least it proved there really were treasures inside!

"Mr. Qin, how about we join forces?"

A bearded old Daoist stepped forward and ingratiated himself.

He was Gouchen Taoist from the Great Yi Sect.

"That's right, I also think we should join forces."

Others also came forward one after another.

"After all, this is Ghost Medicine Granny's territory. If we don't join forces, sooner or later, we'll fall into her hands. It's wiser to work together!"

"Exactly. Mr. Qin, you have the map. We'll follow your lead, okay?"

"That's right. We'll all follow your command."

"..."

Qin Feng glanced at them and said, "Follow my command? So what you mean is, even after finding the Energy Baryte, you won't compete with me for it?"

"..."

Gouchen Taoist and the others immediately looked embarrassed.

They were all here for the Energy Baryte. How could they possibly not compete for it?

"Here's a proposal." Gouchen Taoist suggested, "At the very least, we should unite at this stage to deal with Ghost Medicine Granny. Once we handle her, we can then rely on our own abilities to compete for the Energy Baryte, how about that?"

"Agreed!"

"I agree too!"

"..."

People were raising their hands in agreement.

Qin Feng looked at them disdainfully and said, "I can get it on my own. Why should I look for you? Then I'd still have to fight with you for it."

"..."

The crowd was choked up once again.

Gouchen Taoist continued, "What you don't know is, all around us are countless holes, filled with many giant lizards. They are very tricky in the dark. Many people from the sects entered, but now only a few remain. A large number have been eaten by the lizards."

"Eh, sorry, we're not afraid."

Qin Feng shrugged.

He and Qingcheng had wiped out the lizard's nests; how could they be afraid of them?

"..."

The people were again choked up, thinking he was boasting.

It would be easier to deal with them in a lit area, but in endless darkness, one could only expect sneak attacks, making it far from easy.

"But even if you're not afraid of lizards, aren't you afraid of the giant python?" said Gouchen Taoist, "Ghost Medicine Granny's beast pet is an Evil Python. It's incredibly powerful, even a Seventh Grade Grandmaster might not be able to defeat it!"

"Uh, that's our own business."

Qin Feng shrugged again.

Now having confirmed that the map in hand was indeed for this place, Qin Feng didn't want to waste any more time and immediately left with Qingcheng and others.

Upon seeing this, Gouchen Taoist and the others became anxious.

The people looked at each other, wanting to grab the map, but recalling how Qin Feng and Qingcheng together had wiped out the people of Dragon King Hall, they felt they were not their match and could only watch as they left.

"Damn it, what do we do now?" someone lamented.

"Don't worry."

Gouchen Taoist gently stroked his goat beard, pondering, "Actually, this might be a good sign."

"Why?"

"You should be aware of how terrifying Ghost Medicine Granny is, right? Let them go and be cannon fodder first. They both seem strong. Let them fight a life and death battle with Ghost Medicine Granny, and then we can be the 'Yellow Sparrow behind.' Wouldn't that be better?"

"That's right, great idea!"

"..."

Sinister smirks appeared in everyone's eyes.

On the other side.

As Qin Feng walked, he lit up the map with Separation Fire, following the path marked on the map.

Sure enough.

In no time, they arrived beneath the previous square!

It was a large underground plaza.

There was also a thick tree trunk.

That was the part of the tree buried underground.

"According to the map, the Energy Baryte should be here, but there's nothing."

Qin Feng looked around and said.

At that moment.

Suddenly, a sinister, eerie laugh rang out: "Hee hee hee hee..."

Turning to look.

At one of the holes in the wall, there stood an old crone, quite short, leaning on a cane, wearing tattered clothes, with disheveled hair and a filthy face, at first glance looking like a beggar. But the wicked aura in her eyes was chilling to the bone.

"Ghost, Ghost Medicine Granny?!!"

One-eyed Bald and the others stood there, dumbstruck.
