My Silly, Sweet Wife

In this world, aside from martial arts and hard training, there are many masters of techniques.

Actually, if you take the Taoist and Buddhist sects, when they duel with enemies, they seldom use martial arts. Most of the time, they employ talismans and techniques and such.

Therefore, Taoist and Buddhist sects are still masters of techniques.

In the eyes of many ordinary people, techniques are merely means to combat ghosts.

But if truly practiced to a certain degree, techniques can be more formidable than martial arts.

After all, the path of martial arts is nothing but the pursuit of speed and power.

As long as the speed is fast enough and the power is strong enough, victory can be achieved.

But the path of techniques is unpredictable as ghosts and gods, killing invisibly.

Even a single talisman can become a weapon that kills.

Just like Zhang Chonglou, a Sect Leader of Heavenly Master Tao, if he truly duels with a master, he can easily achieve killing from a hundred steps away, not because he used innate energy, but because of techniques.

A hundred years ago, this Esoteric Sect seemed to be a great sect of techniques, and if truly calculated, even the Yin Ghost Sect was merely a branch of the Esoteric Sect.

But later, for some unknown reason, the Esoteric Sect faded from people’s sight, as if vanished over the years, without anyone from this sect appearing.

There are even rumors that the technique methods of Taoist and Buddhist sects originate from the Esoteric Sect.

Of course, these are merely rumors without any evidence.

But even so, this is enough to prove how powerful the Esoteric Sect is.

Ye Guichen did not expect that Hua Fengnu was actually a master of the Esoteric Sect.

Moreover, he seems to serve the Esoteric Sect at Medicine King Valley.

”What, Esoteric Sect? Luoyin Mountain?”

However, upon hearing Hua Fengnu’s almost insane words, Lou Shanguan’s pupils shrunk, his eyes widened: ”No good, Mr. Ye, today is the fifteenth of July in the lunar calendar, could it be that the gates of Luoyin Mountain truly will open!”

Previously, Lou Shanguan had recounted the origins of Medicine King Mountain to Ye Guichen.

He said that this place is purportedly a nexus of the Underworld.

But in today’s society, who would believe such things?

After all, seeing is believing, hearing is not.

Even Ye Guichen has never seen spirits.

But Ye Guichen had heard from Li Fengxian that spirits do exist in this world, though not as the legends portray.

Upon hearing Lou Shanguan’s words, Ye Guichen turned to glance at him: ”Fifteenth of July?”

His mind involuntarily recalled the encounter with Wu Dan and the middle-aged man beside him on the way to Medicine King Valley.

It seems ever since arriving at Medicine King Valley, that middle-aged man with Wu Dan hasn’t been seen.

Back then, Ye Guichen felt that the middle-aged man named Long Yuntai exuded an inexplicable cold aura. Now reminded by Lou Shanguan, a flash like brilliance crossed his mind.

”Could it be? Is Long Yuntai also an Esoteric Sect master?”

Now was evidently not the time for Ye Guichen to ponder too much.

In this short moment, hundreds of people had already died on the scene.

Without exception, they were torn into two halves.

The Gu Liangren appeared extremely ferocious, even when weapons struck it, it felt like hitting iron, emitting a crisp sound, unable to leave any mark on it.

Let alone injure it.

”No good, quickly kill that thing!”

Originally, onlookers could no longer stand idle.

They initially intended to assist Medicine King Valley in exchange for some pills.

But now it seemed, if they didn’t act, there was only one path — death.

Some attempted to flee upon witnessing the terror of Gu Liangren.

However, Gu Liangren was incredibly fast. Upon seeing someone fleeing, it directly charged to tear them apart.

Soon, Gu Liangren stood at the valley entrance, trapping everyone inside the valley.

If anyone wanted to leave Medicine King Valley, they would have to slay Gu Liangren.

Ye Guichen finally saw Gu Liangren’s appearance clearly.

Up close, Gu Liangren was similar to a monkey, but covered in white fur, with hair over ten centimeters long, fingers slender, and nails incredibly hard, like sharp daggers.

The most shocking thing to Ye Guichen was Gu Liangren’s eyes, entirely white, seemingly unable to see anything.

Yet each strike was extremely precise.

”Is this Gu Liangren?” Lou Shanguan sighed, his body slightly trembling: ”This creature, cultivated through ancient witchcraft, sure is formidable. Even in the presence of creatures like this, a Grandmaster’s prowess is of no use!”

”Roar!”

Gu Liangren let out another roar, with a ferocious expression, suddenly lunging towards the Taoists of Wudang.

Lou Shanguan was startled, shouted anxiously: ”Quick, form up!”

Whoosh!

A group of Taoists, upon hearing, formed three lines in the blink of an eye, each line consisting of ten people.

However, they resembled an impenetrable wall.

As Gu Liangren approached, the first line had already released a series of talismans.

The talismans exploded around Gu Liangren, emitting sizzling sounds.

Yet, the Taoists didn’t stop at this—the second line of Taoists floated on top of the shoulders of the first line, their swords stabbing towards Gu Liangren.

After the talismans exploded, the dust gradually dissipated.

Gu Liangren seemingly didn’t expect these Taoists to possess some skills, appeared somewhat stunned by the explosion, but aside from losing some white fur, remained unharmed.

As it raised its head, it seemed to sense the Taoists rush towards it.

”Roar!”

Like a gorilla, it fiercely slapped its chest, then opened its mouth wide, stunningly spitting web-like strands like a spider.

Those web-like strands directly ensnared onto the arm of one Taoist, twisting lightly.

Crunch!

It forcibly crushed the arm of that Taoist.

In that split second, the other Taoists had already stabbed their swords into Gu Liangren.

But what followed were sounds of those swords breaking.

A group of Taoists’ pupils contracted in shock: ”No good, this creature is too hard!”

Gu Liangren ignored their blathering, swung its hand, and directly blasted away several Taoists.

Of ten Taoists, suddenly five or six were killed or injured.

”Quick, the Binding Rope!”

The last line of Taoists saw the situation deteriorating, swiftly rushed forward.

They all held ropes made from red silk threads in their hands.

As they rushed forward, they threw the red ropes towards Gu Liangren.

In almost the blink of an eye, Gu Liangren was entirely entrapped by the red ropes.

”Awooo!”

With its hands and feet bound, Gu Liangren let out beast-like howls.

The Taoists and others from Medicine King Valley exhaled lightly.

Someone suggested: ”Quick, don’t give it a moment to breathe, kill it first!”

Hua Fengnu laughed heartily: ”Kill it? Do you think you Taoists can deal with Gu Liangren? Haha, you’re overly self-satisfied!”

Ye Guichen stared hard at Gu Liangren, suddenly his expression darkened: ”Not good! Lou Shanguan, quickly have them let go!”
