My Silly, Sweet Wife

”No need to look for me, I’m here.” At that moment, Ye Guichen suddenly appeared in front of Wu Lang.

Wu Lang was startled and quickly got up from his seat, showing a respectful demeanor: ”Wu Lang greets Mr. Ye.”

The previous arrogance had vanished long ago.

Anyone capable of killing Lingtian deserves respect.

”Lingtian is already dead, next Yong’an City will be in chaos, and the Yan King is very likely to send stronger experts, but before that, Yong’an City certainly won’t have time to concern itself with you. Before then, you need to develop vigorously to strive to qualify as my aid when I return.”

Ye Guichen’s expression was solemn.

Wu Lang pledged earnestly: ”I understand, I will not disappoint Mr. Ye’s expectations and assist Mr. Ye in achieving mighty deeds.”

Wu Lang was not greedy for blood.

People like Ye Guichen are certain to become formidable figures.

Although Wu Lang didn’t know why Ye Guichen chose him, it wasn’t important.

In the future, there would surely be no shortage of opportunities to follow Ye Guichen in battles.

Ye Guichen saw that Wu Lang grasped his intentions quickly and was quite satisfied: ”Good, I won’t say more, I need to go to the Dan God Sect, this trip will take at most two to three years. After two or three years, I hope to see you transformed.”

After speaking, Ye Guichen didn’t waste more words and turned to leave.

As he departed, his steps became lighter, without concealing the aura around him.

Watching Ye Guichen’s departing figure, Wu Lang was full of shock: ”Mr. Ye, has he broken through?”

Wu Lang clearly remembered that Ye Guichen was only at the third level of Qi Refinement during their last meeting.

But after just one day, Ye Guichen had reached the fifth level, directly bypassing the fourth level.

Is this, damn, god-tier cultivation speed?

Of course, he didn’t know that after battling Lingtian, Ye Guichen reflected for a long time, and accidentally broke through while adjusting his breath.

If others knew breaking through a realm was so simple, they’d probably hit themselves with a block of tofu.

...

Two days flew by.

Yong’an City’s City Lord Lingtian was beheaded among thousands of troops, causing not only Yong’an City but also the entire Yan Land to be utterly shocked.

Lingtian’s cultivation was top-tier in the entire Yan Land, yet he was killed amidst thousands of soldiers.

What kind of expert is the opponent?

Could it be the legendary Foundation Establishment expert?

According to eyewitnesses at the time, the opponent was only in his twenties.

How on earth could he be a Foundation Establishment expert?

Near the military camp by the overpass.

Feng Yuanshan and commander Wu Sheng didn’t wait for their men to bring back people from the Dan God Sect, but instead received an extremely shocking news.

”Lingtian is dead?” Wu Sheng was drinking tea when he received the news.

But upon hearing, his hand trembled uncontrollably, spilling tea everywhere.

”How is this possible? Who could kill Lingtian? He’s at the eighth level of Qi Refinement, said to be preparing for the ninth level, just half a step away!”

Wu Sheng’s shock is imaginable.

Even Feng Yuanshan couldn’t believe it and hurriedly asked: ”Do you know who killed Lingtian?”

The messenger summed up the information received: ”It seems similar to the people we were going to find from the Dan God Sect.”

”What?” Feng Yuanshan and Wu Sheng were dumbfounded.

Wu Sheng quickly gestured for his subordinates to leave.

The room was left with only Feng Yuanshan and Wu Sheng.

”Mr. Feng, what do you think?” Wu Sheng frowned, though he had a rough answer in mind, he wasn’t sure, and looked at Feng Yuanshan for consultation.

Feng Yuanshan took a deep breath and expressed his thoughts: ”I’m not sure if the opponent is the Young Master, as of now I can only say this possibility exists. The Young Master’s talent is outstanding; within a month, he gathered the Ghost Market under his command, such ability, perhaps even the Seven Kings couldn’t achieve. Hence, I increasingly feel the Young Master can create miracles, and our mindset toward him should perhaps change.”

Wu Sheng swallowed hard, still in disbelief: ”Mr. Feng, honestly from the heart, could it really be him? It feels so unrealistic to me. I’ve seen Lingtian’s methods firsthand, even for me, getting close to Lingtian is impossible. Besides, Lingtian is cautious, usually won’t expose his whereabouts, often using substitutes. Meaning a sneak attack to kill Lingtian is impossible, the only way is to kill head-on. But killing an eighth level Qi Refinement expert head-on is as hard as shaking a tree, too hard.”

Feng Yuanshan nodded silently: ”Indeed, this needs verification, but in any case, anyone who can kill Lingtian should not be underestimated, even the Yan King would not dare take lightly. I’ll stay here with you for now, immediately send people to investigate thoroughly, increase the troop count at the bridge. With Lingtian dead, Yong’an City will surely have internal conflicts, more will die for the City Lord position. What we need to do is to guard the bridge for the Yan King, as long the bridge isn’t taken, no one can shake your commander position.”

Wu Sheng hadn’t thought so far ahead, but hearing Feng Yuanshan’s words was like receiving sudden enlightenment, he quickly stood up, bowed to Feng Yuanshan: ”Mr. Feng, your words cleared away doubts, I understand now. Rest assured, I will definitely investigate this thoroughly.”

”Good!” Feng Yuanshan nodded.

Elsewhere.

On the edge of Ten Thousand Ghosts Forest.

Ren Wobai and four others waited for two days.

As the final deadline approached, still no sign of Ye Guichen.

Ren Wobai was somewhat disappointed.

He hadn’t expected the dignified Son of Nether Emperor, an alchemy genius, to die as an unexpected mishap.

”Let’s go!” Ren Wobai stood up, sighed, and was about to leave.

A tiger roar suddenly sounded behind him.

The four Lu Family brothers immediately became alert, turned to look in the direction of the tiger roar.

Upon closer look, they saw a white tiger standing not far away, seemingly with a person sitting on its back.

”Strange, that white tiger, how does it feel like Yong’an City’s City Lord Lingtian’s steed?” Ren Wobai quietly muttered, ”Don’t act rashly, let’s see the situation.”

The four Lu Family brothers exchanged glances but remained tense, not relaxing in the slightest.

They had investigated the path beforehand, were naturally not unfamiliar with Yong’an City’s City Lord Lingtian.

Lingtian was not only highly cultivated, but also cautious.

A companion of the white tiger.

Legend has it that this white tiger is a monster, experts below level five of Qi Refinement couldn’t handle it.

The white tiger is an exotic beast, due to its aloof character, trying to subdue it seems nearly impossible.

Thus, being able to subdue a white tiger is enough to demonstrate Lingtian’s terrifying power.

With the white tiger appearing here, while feeling strange, they also felt immense tension.

The white tiger hesitated for a moment, seemingly contemplating something, soon walking over to Ren Wobai and the others.

Once getting closer, Ren Wobai and the others looked at the man on the white tiger’s back, their eyeballs nearly fell out.

”Ye Sheng?”
