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

"This..."

Elder Hua Qing's expression was extraordinarily awkward.

If it were earlier, he would certainly insist there was no deception, waiting for her to recover from endless sorrow before telling her the truth.

But with the deadline of a month elapsed, he could no longer continue the deception.

"See! There's no hope at all. That wealthy commoner, I reckon it's just a story concocted by Hua Qing. Let's retreat! I don't want to linger here any longer!" Elder Hong Bu stood up and said.

Yu Xing'er's beautiful eyes grew moist once again.

Seeing this, the others shook their heads and sighed.

At that moment.

Protector Zhi Ziyang suddenly rushed back excitedly, shouting to Yu Xing'er and others: "Quick, look what I've brought back!!"

Everyone was surprised to see the Spiritual Energy Gem in his arms.

He briefly told everyone about selling the Xingluo Peak sacred land, his spirits high: "Now, we can exchange Xingluo Peak for fifty Spiritual Energy Gems, which is a significant amount! We can use these fifty gems to recruit troops and horses, and march towards the Supreme Sect!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but sigh again.

If it were earlier.

This news would have certainly been very encouraging.

But now.

The hope provided by Elder Hua Qing was false, these fifty Spiritual Energy Gems might be worth a lot of money, but relying on this money to attack the Supreme Sect would be akin to throwing our lives away.

"Everybody... What's happened?"

Zhi Ziyang asked suspiciously.

At this moment, Elder Hong Bu's eyes lit up at the sight of the pile of gems, and he snatched them away, saying: "Great, haha... It seems the month here wasn't wasted. These Spiritual Energy Gems are full of energy. I can take them to other Sects as a gift for entry, and with my cultivation level, they will surely value me highly, haha..."

"Elder Hong Bu, what are you...?"

"That's right!"

Elder Hong Bu's expression changed as he said, "I've been waiting here for a month, originally for the commoner lad mentioned by Hua Qing, who would come to aid Xingluo Peak. If he came, he'd surely bring lots of money for recruiting troops and horses, and then I would take all the money."

"But after waiting a month, I found out it was all for nothing. Elder Hua Qing was simply deceived!"

"Of course, it wasn't entirely in vain, at least I waited for the money from selling Xingluo Peak, haha..."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Elder Hua Qing and others frowned and said: "Elder Hong Bu, what are you talking about! Even if you don't wish to stay, do you intend to take away the last bit of money? That's the money from selling Xingluo Peak!"

"So what? If you don't look out for yourself, you'll be doomed. It's better than you fools who fantasize about dealing with the Supreme Sect wasting the money!" Elder Hong Bu said, "I'm leaving now, who here can stop me?"

"..."

Everyone looked at each other, at a loss for words.

Elder Hong Bu, a Sixth Grade Grandmaster, although Hua Qing and two others were also Grade Six Grandmasters, had suffered some injuries in a battle some time ago. They also had a Seventh Grade Grandmaster who was severely injured.

Therefore, if he insisted on leaving, he simply couldn't be stopped.

"Humph! You stay and meet your doom! I'm off!"

He shook his sleeves, preparing to leave.

At this moment.

Qin Feng and others entered from the doorway, saying, "Wait a moment."

"And who might you be?"

Elder Hong Bu raised an eyebrow.

Before Qin Feng could speak, Wang Zanggu, exuding arrogance, stepped forward and said: "You don't recognize Mr. Qin of Heavenly King Palace? Hmph!"

"..."

Qin Feng felt chagrined.

It must be said, this Wang Zanggu was truly insistent on being king!

His Heavenly King Palace had just been established, how could others possibly know of it, and furthermore, he's only a First-Grade martial master to this Sixth Grade Grandmaster. Where did he get such audacity...

When Zhi Ziyang saw Qin Feng, he added: "That's the man who just made a deal with me, the buyer of Xingluo Peak's sacred land."

After completing the purchase, Qin Feng wanted to ask him where the people of Xingluo Peak were, but he had run off instantly, so Qin Feng had to follow.

At this time.

Elder Hua Qing was also surprised to see Qin Feng and said: "He is the one I met in the Mortal World, who said he could help Xingluo Peak!"

With that said.

Everyone, including Yu Xing'er, turned their attention to Qin Feng.

However, when they realized he was just a minor martial master, they shook their heads and sighed, as Elder Hong Bu had said, Elder Hua Qing had been deceived; how could such a minor martial master be of any help.

"Hahaha..."

Elder Hong Bu laughed heartily, looking Qin Feng up and down like a fat sheep, and said: "I assume you must be very wealthy, right? That's great, I'm in need of money right now. Leave all your money here! I could spare your life, or else, you know what the consequences will be, hehehe..."

"Uh, I mean, leave those fifty Spiritual Energy Gems behind, maybe I'll spare your life."

Qin Feng said.

At the doorway, he had overheard their dispute, including Elder Hong Bu's intention to take the Spiritual Energy Gems.

He had no interest in meddling in the affairs of others.

But now, wanting to destroy the Supreme Sect, he needed to ally with Xingluo Peak, and these Spiritual Energy Gems could help Xingluo Peak enhance its strength, which would also benefit him.

Therefore, he had to intervene.

"Oh, such arrogance for a mere martial master!"

Elder Hong Bu sneered disdainfully.

At this moment, Elder Hua Qing remembered Zonglong Mountain, where he had been defeated by Qin Feng, and said to Elder Hong Bu: "You'd better believe him, don't be fooled by his mere martial master status, he's extremely formidable!"

"Are you saying your trip to the Mortal World turned your brain to mush!"

Elder Hong Bu scoffed still.

Qin Feng had no desire to listen to them anymore and simply raised his hand towards Elder Hong Bu and proposed: "Let's settle this quickly then, allow me one strike, how about that?"

"Hahaha... With your cultivation, you could strike me ten times, even a hundred times, and without even using my True Qi to protect myself, you still couldn't harm me," Elder Hong Bu laughed.

"Alright then, stand still."

Qin Feng said.

"Fine, today I shall show you what true strength is, to make you understand the vast difference between heaven and earth, so you won't embarrass yourself in the future." Elder Hong Bu arrogantly crossed his arms and closed his eyes, "Strike!"

"Alright."

Qin Feng nodded.

Immediately afterward.

He vanished from the spot.

When he reappeared, he had already moved past Elder Hong Bu, posing with a drawn sword.

"So fast!!"

Everyone from Xingluo Peak was taken aback.

Including the Fifth Grade Grandmasters and Sixth Grade Grandmasters.

They couldn't even catch Qin Feng's movements.

"I've already told you, he's very powerful," said Elder Hua Qing, sighing.

Then.

Blood spurted from Elder Hong Bu's neck, splashing into the air.

He touched his neck in shock, his eyes filled with disbelief, "No, no... impossible..."
