My Silly, Sweet Wife

In the eyes of the people from Wan Jian Villa, Ye Guichen couldn’t possibly be their match, and currently, there seemed to be no other path for him but death.

And since Ye Guichen had escaped now, he must have been hiding somewhere before this.

As long as they could capture Ye Guichen, use severe methods to force a confession, and then capture the remaining people from the Yin Ghost Sect who had escaped, Wan Jian Villa could claim a major achievement.

However, just as over a hundred people surrounded Ye Guichen in layers that were impenetrable like wind and rain, the sky suddenly turned overcast.

Moreover, gusts of chilly wind began to rise around, and eerie sounds echoed, akin to ghostly wails and wolf howls, making people’s hair stand on end.

Ye Guichen originally didn’t want to get entangled with these people and wanted to escape quickly.

After all, in Ye Guichen’s eyes, these people were too weak, and even if more of them came, they still wouldn’t be able to stop him from escaping.

However, before Ye Guichen could make his getaway, the air around seemed to suddenly freeze.

Ye Guichen felt as if something had fixed its gaze on him, his pupils slightly contracted.

Could it really have arrived?

”Hehe, who would’ve thought it could be so lively here!”

A sharp voice came from the middle of the air.

Then, a mass of dark clouds hovered in the sky.

On top of it, there seemed to stand a black shadow.

No one could see clearly what the black shadow looked like, but the pressure it imposed on everyone was unprecedented.

It was like a towering mountain.

Chen Qiao swallowed hard and pointed his sword at the black shadow, forcing bravado into his voice: ”You, stop pretending to be supernatural here, are you one of the remnants of the Yin Ghost Sect? Get down here, and I’ll spare your life.”

”Hehehe, what arrogance!”

The black shadow let out a sinister laugh and suddenly stretched out a hand.

A puff of black smoke instantly surged toward Chen Qiao.

Chen Qiao wanted to dodge, but there was simply no time.

Or perhaps, even if prepared, there would have been no way to dodge.

The next moment, the black smoke enveloped Chen Qiao.

Before the other people from Wan Jian Villa could understand what was happening, sounds of agonizing screams were heard from Chen Qiao.

The screams didn’t last long and quickly came to an abrupt stop.

When the black smoke dissipated, Chen Qiao was nothing but skin over bones, like a dried-out corpse, terrifying to the extreme.

”Ahhh, it’s someone from the Yin Ghost Sect, quick, kill them!”

The people from Wan Jian Villa naturally took the black shadow to be one of the Yin Ghost Sect, and they roared, charging towards the shadow.

The shadow seemed unwilling to bother with these people, simply waved a hand.

Splatters and cracks!

Sounding like firecrackers being set off.

The disciples of Wan Jian Villa who had leaped into the air fell back to the ground even faster.

After crashing down, their meridians were all severed, not a single person survived.

Just a wave of the hand, and nearly a third were dead.

The remaining disciples of Wan Jian Villa felt a shiver run down their spines, unable even to stand properly.

It was terrifying beyond words.

This is slaughter as if butchering a dog.

This is what is meant by slaughtering like butchering dogs!

No!

In front of that black shadow, they were even less than pigs and dogs, mere ants to be crushed without a thought.

No one dared to rush forward anymore.

Each of them stared at the shadow with reverence, not daring to move.

Ye Guichen’s throat moved twice.

He couldn’t help but inwardly curse.

What is this legend!

It must be entirely true!

Where did this thing spring from?

Could it indeed be the Ghost King?

But, in this world, there has never been talk of such a Ghost King, if there were such a thing, why has it never appeared in the martial world over the years?

If at this moment, Ye Guichen still didn’t understand what was happening, it meant his brains were truly no good.

This black shadow surely came for that Ghost Pill.

Judging from the shadow’s earlier moves, Ye Guichen knew that even if he exerted all his strength, he wouldn’t last a single exchange against this opponent.

What to do?

Ye Guichen mixed into the crowd, secretly wiping sweat off his forehead as his eyes continuously darted around, looking for any chance to escape.

Or rather, whether there was even a chance to escape.

Ye Guichen even mentally calculated whether he could escape the opponent’s grasp with his speed.

If he couldn’t escape, should he take out the Ghost Pill?

And just as Ye Guichen was lost in random thoughts, he suddenly felt as if his body was bound by an eerie force.

Then, Ye Guichen felt his body suddenly lifted off the ground.

”Boy, you dare steal from me, are you tired of living?” Ye Guichen was directly pulled into the air.

Ye Guichen wanted to resist, but the True Qi in his dantian was as if sunk into the sea, unable to exert the slightest bit.

”What, you still want to resist?”

In Ye Guichen’s eyes, the appearance of the other person was unclear, as if obscured by a mist.

Moreover, the person seemed completely oblivious to Ye Guichen, letting out bursts of cold laughter.

With a beckon, the ring on Ye Guichen’s finger effortlessly flew into the opponent’s hand.

Not only that, the opponent didn’t even bother breaking the seal, just a casual wave of the hand, and the storage ring’s seal broke open.

”Tsk tsk, not bad, brat, you’ve got some skill, there’s a lot of good stuff in here!”

Upon seeing the contents of Ye Guichen’s storage ring, the opponent also seemed taken aback.

After a moment, the opponent let out a soft ”Hmm”: ”An Immortal Sword? Tsk tsk, you actually have an Immortal Sword? It seems you’ve discovered quite a treasure, haha, well, all these swords will belong to me now. Ah, what’s this?”

As he spoke, the shadow stretched out his hand.

Four Jiao Long Eggs appeared in his hand.

”Oh, these are Jiao Long Eggs? But what a pity, one of them is already dead. If raised properly, it might have become a true Jiao Long.”

The shadow spoke to himself, then put the Jiao Long Eggs back into the storage ring.

He chuckled at Ye Guichen: ”Boy, I’ve been refining Ghost Pills for so many years, I could smell it when the Ghost Pill matured, and you still want to snatch it from me? Tsk tsk, you’re really daring. In that case, today I’ll let you taste the agony of having your three souls and seven spirits burned!”

With that, the shadow waved his hand.

A mysterious aura struck Ye Guichen’s body.

Ye Guichen immediately felt as if something had trapped his body, and his soul seemed bound as well.

It’s over!

Ye Guichen’s heart sank.

This feeling of helplessness made him very upset.

But, in the face of power, there was no way out.

Ye Guichen couldn’t even muster the thought of resistance.

It was as if a newborn child facing a strong man; he was completely at the mercy of others.

At this moment, an angry voice rang out: ”Mr. Ye, I’m here to help you!”

Immediately, a figure suddenly rose from the ground, soaring hundreds of meters, and charged at the shadow, punching towards him.

The shadow was about to put away the storage ring but was taken aback that someone dared to attack him.

And in that moment of surprise, Ye Guichen felt the binding force on him relax slightly for a moment.

Opportunity!

Ye Guichen knew that if he didn’t seize the opportunity, only death awaited.

The opponent was too strong.

So strong that there was no possibility of winning.

But since the opponent wanted to kill him, how could Ye Guichen just surrender?

At the moment True Qi returned, Ye Guichen shouted: ”Jiao Long emerges from the sea!”

From the Jiuyou Tower, a Jiao Long roared and rushed out.

Now that the storage ring had been seized, Ye Guichen had no way to use those treasured swords.

He could only rely on his own Cultivation Technique.

Fortunately, in the Jiuyou Tower, there was still the soul of the Jiao Long.

This Jiao Long soul had already been subdued by Ye Guichen, and naturally obeyed him.

As the Jiao Long soul emerged, it instantly transformed into a creature over a hundred meters long, opening its mouth wide and spewing a mass of filthy air towards the shadow.

The person ambushing the shadow thought the shadow would be hit by their punch, but when the fist was half a meter away, it seemed blocked by something, unable to advance further.

”Oh, not bad, it’s actually a ghost corpse body? Tsk tsk, what a thing, what a thing! If I refine you, you could become a perfect puppet!”

The shadow looked at the ambusher Feng Wuxiu, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

”What a delightful surprise, truly a delightful surprise!”

The shadow raised his hand.

Feng Wuxiu was directly blown away, crashing heavily to the ground.

At the same time, the Jiao Long soul had already rushed over, its mouth releasing a torrent of filthy air, like a flood, attacking the shadow.

The shadow glanced up, and for the first time, didn’t face the attack head-on but instead vanished into thin air.

And the next second, he appeared above the Jiao Long soul’s head.

The filthy air spewed by the Jiao Long soul missed its target, with much of it falling on those from Wan Jian Villa.

The people contaminated by the filthy air screamed in agony and turned into white bones on the spot.

Since the Jiao Long soul was now a yin entity, although its combat power remained strong, its fighting style was entirely different from a real Jiao Long.

This filthy air was like ghostly energy, highly damaging.

”Haha, what a day full of surprises, boy, you have so many secrets that I suddenly don’t want to kill you anymore!”

The shadow laughed wildly and stomped on the head of the Jiao Long soul from mid-air.

Boom!

With that stomp, it was as if a thunderbolt sounded in the sky.

The Jiao Long soul, which had been searching for a target, cried out miserably and fell downward.

Clearly, the Jiao Long soul was seriously injured from this blow.

Ye Guichen’s heart sank even further.

Too strong!

From the contact, Ye Guichen was almost certain that the opponent was the Ghost King.

It seemed to be just as Yan Fang said.

This Ghost King wanted to devour the Ghost Pill and become the Turbid Immortal.

But how could such a powerful being exist in this world?

Could it be that this place was connected to a certain Yinming Land?

Ye Guichen’s mind was filled with countless questions, but clearly he had no time to think about them now.

Seeing even the Jiao Long soul was not a match for the opponent, Ye Guichen had the urge to flee.

However, if he fled now, he’d lose his storage ring.

The treasures he had painstakingly accumulated over many years would be lost.

”Alright, I’ll fight you to the death!”

Ye Guichen’s eyes turned bloodshot as he suddenly spread his hands.

The Jiuyou Tower swelled with the wind, instantly growing to a height of a hundred zhang.

The whistling yin winds converged madly into the Jiuyou Tower.

The colors of the world and the surrounding space seemed to plunge into a hellish abyss.
