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

Chapter 426 - 426: Collapse!

"Dead," Qin Feng said.

"Dead?!"

He paused again, stunned.

Once he recovered, he was overjoyed and immediately stood up and kicked both protectors on their butts, shouting, "What the hell are you two sleeping for, the Qilin's dead, let's get out of here!!"

The two protectors, one fat and one skinny, got up excitedly as well.

The three of them followed Qin Feng.

Carrying Lin Xue'er on his back, Qin Feng made his way downward.

Whether it was because of the Crystal Stones in his backpack or because Lin Xue'er had taken the Qilin Beast Core, all the creatures in the tower such as the Blood Cats, Zombies, bats, spiders, and so on, all kept a respectful distance, not daring to come close to them.

As Qin Feng and the others stepped out of the tower's grand entrance,

Suddenly the entire tower began to tremble.

Along with the ground, the whole Ancient City was shaking, and even the sky above was occasionally dropping sand.

"Something's not right, retreat quickly!"

He immediately picked up the pace, running in the direction from which they came.

If he was not mistaken,

This tower was specifically constructed with Energy Baryte to support the entire Ancient City.

Now that the Energy Baryte had been removed, this place would no longer hold up.

Sure enough.

The ceiling above them began to collapse gradually.

Qin Feng and the rest reached the pool with the utmost speed.

"There are piranhas in the water!"

The two protectors from the Broken Mountain Sect dared not enter the water.

Initially, many people were eaten by piranhas when a large group entered the water, and it was by sheer luck that they were able to swim up.

"We can only take the chance!"

Sect Leader Zheng Aotian and Qin Feng plunged into the water with a splash.

With no other choice,

The two protectors had to follow as well.

Strangely enough.

Following behind Qin Feng, not a single one of the piranhas gave chase, as if they were very afraid of them.

They didn't realize that the reason why the piranhas didn't dare to approach Qin Feng was because of the blood on him from the fight with the Fire Qilin.

Quickly.

After emerging from the other side of the pond, this place was also shaking and collapsing.

They hurriedly ran towards the surface again.

Finally!

At the very last moment before a complete collapse, they finally returned to the surface to that tower.

As they came out of the tower,

The entire structure had already sunk down.

Everyone laid on the ground, breathing heavily, resting wholeheartedly.

After the ground had completely settled and the dust was blown away by the wind,

Sect Leader Zheng Aotian sat up, rubbing his sore arms, and muttered, "That was close, we finally saved our skins... Eh? Where is this?"

He looked around, very perplexed.

This place was supposed to be surrounded by sand dunes, and their location should have been right at the mouth of one.

Now.

The surroundings were completely empty, a flat expanse as far as the eye could see! Spоt аn еrrоr? Visit thе оriginаl pоst оn М&VLЕМРY&R.

"What happened? Where are the sand dunes?"

The two protectors also looked bewildered, "Or does this mean, we are actually dead?"

"It's collapsed."

Qin Feng stood up and said, "Not just this tower has collapsed, all the sand dunes have collapsed as well."

"I see."

The protectors suddenly said, "That's too shocking, all those sand dunes, all collapsed..."

"The world will never see the Ancient City again."

Zheng Aotian sighed.

Indeed, it was so.

The reason why the Ancient City was so easy to find was because of the sand dunes as landmarks.

Now this place became indistinguishable from any other.

Moreover.

Even immortals would struggle to excavate the Ancient City buried under so much sand.

"Let's go!"

Qin Feng announced to them before taking his leave.

"Stop right there!"

A fat and a thin protector swiftly stretched out their arms, blocking Qin Feng's path.

"What's the matter?" Qin Feng asked, puzzled.

The two exchanged glances, then let out a sinister chuckle. "What's the matter? Haven't you ever heard the story of 'The Farmer and the Viper'? Hehehehe..."

"Oh, I see." Qin Feng suddenly realized, "You mean to 'destroy the bridge after crossing the river', right?"

"Hahaha, you're quite sharp, kid!"

The portly protector laughed loudly, hands on his hips, "Hand over the Life and Death Blade and the Energy Baryte you took from the tower, or we won't be so polite!"

"Speaking of which..." The skinny protector turned to his colleague, "Did he get the Energy Baryte? I don't think I saw it."

"Neither did I, but he probably did, right? After all, the Qilin is dead."

"Yeah, I remember the Crystal Stone was swallowed by the Qilin."

"So did he take it or not?"

"..."

The two protectors looked at each other in confusion, blinked, then turned back to Qin Feng and asked, "Did you bring out the Energy Baryte?"

"..."

Qin Feng sighed with a wry smile, "Idiots."

"What?! You dare to insult us!!"

Both protectors were furious.

They wanted to rush forward and beat Qin Feng.

But they were stopped by Zheng Aotian's arrival. With an Iron Fist to each of their heads, he reprimanded, "Idiots, what are you doing!"

After scolding them both, he turned to Qin Feng with a fist wrapped in the other hand, "Young Brother, my apologies. My discipline has been lax. My Broken Mountain Sect always honors its word. We won't harm you. Please leave your contact information; we'll definitely express our gratitude in the future."

"I get it now!"

The chubby protector exclaimed, "Sect Leader, you mean to steal the Crystal Stone and Life and Death Blade back later? That's not right! It's better to do it here in the desert; look around, there's no one here, we can just take it, and nobody would know!"

"Exactly, Sect Leader, now is the perfect time to make a move!"

The thin protector chimed in.

Bang!

Bang!

Two more punches landed on their heads, and he addressed Qin Feng again, "Don't listen to their nonsense. Our Broken Mountain Sect has always been upright. We would never do such a thing."

Seeing the sincerity in his eyes and perceiving no deception, Qin Feng spared him and said, "I'm leaving!"

"..."

The fat and skinny protectors watched wide-eyed as Qin Feng walked away, inwardly frustrated and anxious. They turned to Zheng Aotian, "Sect Leader, opportunities like this come once in a lifetime! The value of that Energy Baryte is immeasurable."

"I've said, our Broken Mountain Sect has always been upright! If you two harbor thoughts of hurting him again, I'll twist your heads off!"

Zheng Aotian declared.

"Oh..."

Reluctantly, the two protectors nodded their heads.

The trio began to step away from the site.

After walking for a while, they were all drenched in sweat, parched and with dry tongues.

The portly protector suddenly had a moment of realization, "I get it, I finally understand!"

"Understand what?"

The sun-baked skinny protector eagerly inquired.

"I understand why Sect Leader didn't take action. Haven't you realized? Our cultivation has not yet recovered!" said the chubby protector.

"That's right!"

The skinny protector had an epiphany and added, "No wonder Sect Leader stopped us; our cultivation hasn't recovered yet; we're no match for that kid!"

"Smart! The Sect Leader is really smart!"

"If we had made a move just now, we would have been doomed!"

"The Sect Leader has saved our lives!"

"..."

The two continued to mumble endlessly behind him. Upon hearing this, Zheng Aotian delivered another punch to each of their heads, saying, "Idiots, shut your mouths!"

...

Meanwhile.

Qin Feng was carrying Lin Xue'er as they trekked through the desert.

Lin Xue'er, who had been in and out of consciousness, murmured, "Thirsty, I'm so thirsty..."
