The Strongest Mad Son-in-law

Chapter 1663 1666: A Blind Cat Stumbles Upon a Dead Mouse

"Don't underestimate the heroes of the world. You're not Xu Hao, how can you know that this kid isn't pretending?" Shi Ran said cautiously.

It was really because of the punch from Xu Hao's maid, the Moon Goddess Successor, that had startled him.

If even Xu Hao's maid possessed such strength, then how powerful must Xu Hao himself be?

Shi Changdong immediately said, "Father, I understand. Xu Hao is an old schemer, looks harmless, but is full of nasty tricks!"

"You're right. The forces behind Xu Hao have never appeared, yet he has managed to reach where he is today purely on his own strength, which cannot simply be attributed to luck. His own power is one thing, but more importantly, this guy is ruthless. Anyone who provokes him and is weaker than him, he will root them out entirely. If you were in his place, could you do that?" Shi Ran asked.

Shi Changdong nodded slightly, but then shook his head saying, "I'm afraid I couldn't be as ruthless as that kid."

"Yes, that's his unique trait!"

Shi Ran was speaking when he suddenly paused, smiled slightly, and said, "They've arrived! Let's go welcome them!"

The Shi Family immediately went to greet the arrivals.

...

Deep in the cave, Xu Hao didn't catch the conversation between Shi Ran and Shi Changdong, otherwise he would have surely confronted them, questioning when he became seen as such a scheming person?

A thick and honest man like himself, how could they call him an old schemer?

However, Xu Hao didn't hear their words.

As he continued walking, Xu Hao said with some confusion, "Why is this place so deep? It must be over forty meters underground by now. Is Fang La's group capable of this?"

Si Wen nodded slightly and said, "Fang La and his group can't achieve this, but Lord Yunsa can."

"Lord Yunsa? Who is that?" Xu Hao was instantly stunned.

He suddenly realized that this seemingly ordinary treasure might actually contain something else.

Perhaps he was just a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse?

Seeing Xu Hao didn't even know who Lord Yunsa was, Si Wen froze too and quickly said, "Elder Xu, did you come only for the treasure?"

"Yes, isn't there supposed to be Fang La's treasure here?" Xu Hao looked bewildered.

Zhou Shuran immediately gave Xu Hao a thumbs-up, then flipped it one hundred eighty degrees and pointed it downwards fiercely.

Xu Hao directly ignored her; this girl thought he wouldn't dare to punish her now, so she was getting more brazen. But she had forgotten, would he not settle accounts later?

Si Wen quickly said, "It seems Elder Xu truly is a man of great luck. You don't even know what's most important in this treasure, yet you still came. Normally, you shouldn't be coveting such worldly things."

Xu Hao nodded slightly, saying, "You're right, I originally didn't want to come, but I have a friend who likes jewelry, and I've been idle lately, so I came."

Si Wen shook her head repeatedly, sighing, "Truly, comparing oneself to others can be infuriating. We've searched through countless records over the years and finally confirmed this is where Lord Yunsa passed away, yet you came here so effortlessly, without much effort."

Xu Hao immediately shook his head, saying, "That's not true. I put in effort too; I forced the Mao Family Head to reveal the information."

"But that's only a little bit of effort. Compared to the effort we put in, it's simply not on the same level. However, you don't know this is where Lord Yunsa passed away, so naturally, you don't know the dangers lurking here..." Si Wen spoke as she walked.

At this moment, Xu Hao's expression suddenly changed slightly, "Stop! There's a trap ahead!"

Everyone immediately stopped, and Xu Hao reached out and unleashed a Qi Force, which suddenly got shattered by a powerful force five meters ahead!

Everyone was astonished to the extreme, and Si Wen immediately said, "This is a powerful formation conjoined by the Dragon Locking Hooks, a magic artifact exclusive to the Tang Sect! Anything foreign in this formation will be crushed by the powerful force generated by three interlocking Dragon Locking Hooks."

Xu Hao quickly searched his Inherited Memories and indeed found a record of the Dragon Locking Hooks.

The Dragon Locking Hook is one of the Tang Sect's exclusive Hidden Weapons. It seems no different from ordinary locking hooks, but it possesses extraordinarily magical effects because it's engraved with twelve distinct Trapping and Killing Formations!

The twelve formations are not individually strong, but when layered in a special way, the resulting power is enough to directly kill an Early Stage Grandmaster level expert. Even experts at the middle stage of Grandmaster level or late stage, if careless, can be heavily injured!

However, creating such Dragon Locking Hooks is extremely complex. Even during the Tang Sect's prime, they only had a few in stock, let alone now that the Tang Sect has declined, whether they even have any is uncertain.
