My Silly, Sweet Wife

”Working for the master?” Li Fengxian was somewhat surprised. ”From what you’re saying, seems like that kid is doing pretty well now?”

Gongyang Lang didn’t know how to respond.

What exactly does ”doing pretty well” mean?

If Ye Guichen wished, even a place like the Dan Sect would be eager to have him now.

Once he’s involved with the Dan Sect, even hidden sects and powerful clans would rush to curry favor.

Of course, those are actually secondary.

With Ye Guichen’s abilities, it wouldn’t take long for him to become a true Netherworld Emperor.

By that time, he would indeed be doing quite well, wouldn’t he?

”Sir, let me get you out now.” Gongyang Lang decided not to answer directly. ”This isn’t the place for you to be.”

Speaking, he grabbed the metal bars of the cage and gently twisted them.

With a couple of creaks.

The cage opened easily.

Li Fengxian’s pupils slightly contracted.

Though well-traveled and knowledgeable, seeing someone with such strength was still rare.

Moreover, the entrance was so uncanny, like a ghost, that not even the experts of the Chen Family noticed him.

”Let’s go. I’ll take you to the Chen Family leader’s room for a rest.” Gongyang Lang helped Li Fengxian up, then carried him, and with a lift of his foot, they leapt over a dozen meters away.

Before long, the two arrived outside the clan leader’s bedroom.

Chen Tianhe had not returned.

Gongyang Lang easily took Li Fengxian inside the bedroom and let him rest on the bed.

Gongyang Lang knew that Chen Ziran wouldn’t suffer any major harm for now, but he stood at the door like a guardian deity.

He was confident that Ye Guichen would arrive before long.

When that time came, seeing his care for Li Fengxian, perhaps Ye Guichen might even praise him a bit?

Thinking this, Gongyang Lang shivered inexplicably.

Come on now, when did I, a dignified Qi Refiner, get to the point of being pleased over a few words of praise from that kid Ye Guichen?

…

On the outskirts of Xianju Mountain.

Ye Guichen and Jin Ling abandoned the car at the edge of an impassable path and proceeded on foot.

This was Ye Guichen’s first time at Xianju Mountain.

According to Jin Ling, Xianju Mountain is essentially a gathering place for hidden prestigious families.

The deeper you reside within Xianju Mountain, the stronger your martial prowess.

It’s said that the Chen Family has a Qi Refiner as its guardian, but that person has not been seen for over twenty years.

Deep within Xianju Mountain is a family with the surname Dongfang.

This family reportedly has three Qi Refiners and has been residing there for about two hundred years, remaining unchallenged in their position.

”Jin Ling, do you know the exact location of the Chen Family?” Ye Guichen asked, staring at the vast mountain range that would be quite arduous to search.

Jin Ling looked around carefully for a moment, muttering, ”I know the general area.”

”Ugh, you only know the general area? This Xianju Mountain stretches nearly a thousand miles; by the time you find it, it’ll be too late!” Ye Guichen said, pressing his forehead, looking exasperated.

Just then, Ye Guichen’s eyes lit up as he looked towards a dense forest on the left front. ”Hehe, looks like we’ve got a guide.”

Jin Ling found it strange and was about to ask when suddenly figures moved within the forest.

Soon, over twenty men rushed out, surrounding Ye Guichen and Jin Ling in an instant.

The leader was a burly man with an extremely strong and towering figure, reaching nearly two meters tall and striking an intimidating presence.

Especially his arms, which might be thicker than Jin Ling’s thighs.

”You must be Ye Guichen?” the leading man asked, looking directly at Ye Guichen without beating around the bush.

Ye Guichen nodded. ”You are from the Chen Family?”

”Chen Hu!” the burly man clasped his hands. ”Haha, we’ve been waiting here for you for a while. Now, I’ll give you two choices: one, surrender immediately, and I’ll take you back to the Chen Family. Two, we’ll take you by force and bring you back.”

Ye Guichen chuckled in disbelief.

This big guy sure knows how to joke.

”What if I choose neither?” Ye Guichen countered.

”Neither?” Chen Hu laughed manically. ”Haha, I’m afraid that’s not up to you!”

He waved his hand. ”Then let’s give him a chance to choose!”

Shing! Shing!

Everyone drew their weapons, no longer hiding their cultivation levels.

Many of them were top experts, including two Grandmaster level experts.

And that big guy Chen Hu was indeed a Great Grandmaster, likely not too far from a Qi Refiner.

Most importantly, Chen Hu seemed to be a Cross Training Expert in body cultivation.

He carried a massive broadsword on his shoulder.

The broadsword was similar to a large rural iron shovel, easily weighing several hundred pounds.

Chen Hu held the broadsword in his hand, sneering, ”Kid, here’s your last chance to choose.”

Cold sweat ran down Jin Ling’s back.

This was the first time she’d seen so many experts gathered together.

However, seeing Ye Guichen’s calm demeanor slightly eased her anxiety.

”Jin Ling, step back two paces,” Ye Guichen’s voice rang out.

Then, Ye Guichen took out the Immortal Slayer Sword from his back.

Even though he had entered the Qi Refining Realm, Ye Guichen hadn’t properly trained with the Seven Swords of the Immortal Slayer.

Even though he had the sword styles in his mind, he remained somewhat unclear about their power.

Since they had so conveniently arrived at his doorstep, Ye Guichen certainly didn’t mind trying them out.

”Big guy, have a taste of my sword first, and then I’ll choose!”

Without further ado, Ye Guichen swung the Immortal Slayer Sword.

”The First Sword of the Immortal Slayer!”

Whoosh!

He swung the sword.

He directly infused his True Qi into the Immortal Slayer Sword.

The next second, the Immortal Slayer Sword roared forth like a fierce tiger.

Stirring a strong gust, directly charging at the big guy Chen Hu.

Chen Hu wouldn’t have taken Ye Guichen’s sword seriously.

However, he still raised his broadsword, intending to block it.

Crack!

But just at the moment Chen Hu lifted his broadsword, a crisp sound echoed, and the broadsword was split in two.

That’s not all, the momentum of Ye Guichen’s sword remained, slicing Chen Hu in half, and splitting the ground beneath his feet.

The earth exploded, a terrifying aura shot skyward, reducing everyone within three meters to shredded meat.

This sword persisted for several seconds.

Then, its power subsided.

Chen Hu was beyond dead.

And his men, more than half slaughtered, leaving less than a third.

The remaining few were all petrified.

Seeing their comrades and Chen Hu die instantly, overwhelmed by terror, they turned to flee.

Ye Guichen hadn’t expected the first sword to be so devastating.

No wonder the seventh sword is said to cleave a mountain peak.

If the first sword is this terrifying, the seventh should indeed slice through a mountain with ease.

”Phew... that was satisfying!” Ye Guichen exhaled, his voice echoing, ”If you wish to live, stop running.”

Everyone stood as if nailed in place, not daring to move.

Jin Ling stood agape, looking at Ye Guichen as if he were a monster.

”That sword of yours is terrifying!”
