Supreme Son-in-Law-Chapter 1040 - 1038: Peril and Treachery

"There are five of us, each taking one share, and four of them, each taking half a share. Given their strength, half a share is fair for them." One person suggested.

The five taking one share all have relatively strong power.

While those taking half a share are all junior or intermediate Martial Saints and indeed have little say in the matter.

"How about this! I can disregard the others, but Gongzi was brought here by me, so give me some face and let her take one share, how about that?" Upon hearing this, the leader nodded and gestured towards the girl not far away.

"That’s acceptable! We have no objections."

"But who will cover the extra half share?"

"Yes! Now there’s an extra half share, how should we distribute it?"

Although no one objected to the leader’s words, the five who already secured one share were unwilling to compromise.

"You cover it." The leader ordered the weakest of the five.

As soon as the leader spoke, the person felt a powerful pressure, so much that his legs started to tremble.

"I’ll cover it! I’ll cover it!" Helplessly, he could only agree.

"Good! Doesn’t this solve the problem?" Seeing this scene, the leader nodded in satisfaction.

"Get ready, we’re preparing to set off." At the same time, the leader motioned and approached the sole female cultivator.

"Come with me." After reaching her, the leader gestured, then turned and walked away.

Under his guidance, Yoshida Kyoko hesitated for a moment before she followed.

"Kyoko, you know what I mean, right?" After reaching a secluded spot, the leader looked at Yoshida Kyoko and asked.

"Thank you, I will be very grateful to you." Yoshida Kyoko nodded, expressing her gratitude.

"No... you still don’t understand what I mean." Hearing Yoshida Kyoko’s response, the leader replied somewhat helplessly, "I am doing this because I love you, Kyoko. Just agree with me, I will surely take good care of you, just like today."

It’s clear, this guy likes Yoshida Kyoko and wants to use this opportunity to win her over.

"We really aren’t suitable." Yoshida Kyoko rejected immediately without hesitation.

"Have you thought about the consequences of doing this?" Seeing Yoshida Kyoko refuse again, the leader’s face turned a bit sour, threatening in a low voice.

"Sorry! No matter the consequences, I cannot agree." Yoshida Kyoko shook her head firmly, unwavering on matters of principle.

"Fine! Very fine, just don’t regret it." The leader snorted coldly, then turned and left.

After returning to the scene, the leader knocked on the table and suggested, "I think Kyoko doesn’t have the ability to take such a large share. Let her take half a share, and give the extra half share back to Dumb Village."

Hearing this news, the man who had half a share forcibly taken from him earlier was moved to tears.

He hadn’t expected that the taken half share would return to him one day.

"Thank you! Thank you, Sanmu brother, I will definitely dedicate all my energy, definitely earning the share received." In excitement, the man known as Dumb Village quickly promised.

"Hmm!" Sanmu nodded at Yoshida Kyoko and asked, "Kyoko, do you have any objections?"

"I have no objections, I fully agree." Yoshida Kyoko shook her head, showing no disagreement.

"Alright then, let’s set off!" Following Sanmu’s lead, everyone prepared to depart.

Meanwhile, people were pointing at and discussing Yoshida Kyoko quietly.

"What do you think happened?"

"Do you need to ask? It must be an unsuccessful courting attempt, leading to her interests being taken."

"Exactly, took the interests and expected to give nothing in return, where can such good things happen?"

...

In fact, they didn’t need to guess what happened between Sanmu and Yoshida Kyoko when they left together.

Originally, they assumed Yoshida Kyoko would surely agree.

But they didn’t expect Yoshida Kyoko to refuse, which truly surprised them.

However, in their view, this was good too; otherwise, if there were good things, Sanmu would surely prioritize Yoshida Kyoko, and they would receive much less.

Now it was better, Yoshida Kyoko offended Sanmu, and he will surely retaliate by giving her the worst things.

...

As everyone began heading toward the destination, Sanmu’s face was somewhat gloomy, secretly vowing, "Hmph! Dare to act lofty before me? See how I’ll mess with you when we arrive."

With this in mind, Sanmu led the group to the Celestial Punishment Association base.

Knowing that if they arrived late, the other side might have already seized the advantages.

However, they didn’t notice a shadow trailing behind them.

This shadow was Ye Feng, who had been following them since they left the manor; given Ye Feng’s capabilities, it was nearly impossible for them to detect him.

Under their guidance, Ye Feng came to a cemetery.

Indeed, they arrived at a desolate cemetery, filled with countless gravestones and urns, a place rarely visited at night.

Except for one caretaker, no other people were visible within a large perimeter.

Of course, excluding Ye Feng and his group.

No one expected the Celestial Punishment Association to have established such a base here.

Presumably, even the cemetery caretaker was once a member of the Celestial Punishment Association.

But now that the Celestial Punishment Association had withdrawn, they sent a new person here.

After bypassing the caretaker’s sight, Sanmu led the group to a highly concealed corner.

This was the entrance to the Celestial Punishment Association’s base.

Originally, it seemed ordinary, with nothing special about it. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

But, with Sanmu’s operations, a crack split open on the ground.

The crack widened until it reached about two meters in width.

Beneath the crack were orderly steps, leading to the Celestial Punishment Association base.

"Go!" Led by Sanmu, the group glanced around, then descended the stairs, entering the base.

Meanwhile, after their entrance, the crack gradually closed, this mechanism was automated, quite interesting.

Of course, Ye Feng could definitely break such mechanisms.

With Ye Feng’s intervention, the crack appeared again, allowing Ye Feng to enter silently.

As Ye Feng entered through the crack, he heard fighting sounds ahead.

Clearly, the group that entered earlier had encountered enemies and had started fighting.

Ye Feng quickly and quietly approached them.

Indeed, upon closer approach, Ye Feng found two groups were indeed fighting.

Their powers were equally matched, battling fiercely, seemingly unable to determine a victor soon...
