My Silly, Sweet Wife

After this sword strike, more than a dozen Blood Nether Spiders were sliced in half.

At the same time, Gui Yi quickly stood in front of Ye Guichen.

Any Blood Nether Spider approaching Ye Guichen would be slain by a single sword from Gui Yi.

And Ye Guichen did not advance further, he merely observed quietly.

The Blood Nether Spiders seemed to realize they stood no chance, and quickly retreated, screeching as they went.

The entire cave fell silent once again.

Zuo Qiuyun’s face was ashen.

He glanced at his disciple, noticing the disciple had been bitten, he quickly took out a talisman paper, and with incantations from his mouth, the talisman paper ignited without wind.

Zuo Qiuyun applied the ashes from the burnt paper onto the wound.

The originally hideous wound on the young disciple healed rapidly, forming a scab in no time.

”Master, it’s so dangerous here!” The young disciple, his face returning to normal, looked at Zuo Qiuyun with lingering fear.

Zuo Qiuyun also hadn’t expected things to be more complicated than imagined, gesturing for his disciple to remain silent.

He turned to Ye Guichen, ”I didn’t expect Brother Ye to have such deep swordsmanship. If it weren’t for Mr. Ye and this gentleman’s intervention, my disciple and I might have perished here today.”

As he spoke, Zuo Qiuyun clasped his fists to Gui Yi.

Gui Yi showed no reaction, only guarding Ye Guichen’s surroundings.

Zuo Qiuyun awkwardly smiled, ”Shall we continue forward?”

”Since we’re here, I intend to move forward, Daoist Zuo, feel free.” Ye Guichen also smiled and turned to walk forward.

Since this is a Spirit Stone mine, the surrounding Spiritual Energy is rich.

But due to excessive mining, the surroundings have been excavated beyond recognition.

The outer Spirit Stones have mostly been mined clean, to obtain more Spirit Stones, one must dig deeper into the deposits.

The Blood Nether Spiders earlier seemed to have emerged from nowhere, disappearing without a trace after fleeing.

After walking about two more miles, many people appeared up ahead.

Those figures held digging tools, actively excavating.

They were scantily clad, with no protective measures on their bodies.

Moreover, many appeared extremely emaciated, as if they might collapse at any moment.

Hearing some sound, those miners blankly turned their heads to look at Ye Guichen and the others.

However, they merely glanced before quickly turning back.

At this time, a person dressed in Song Family attire quickly ran over.

The person appeared to be in his fifties, wearing thick armor, and upon seeing Ye Guichen and the others, he hurriedly clasped his fists, ”Are you Master Zuo and Mr. Ye mentioned by our Second Master?”

”Who are you?”

Zuo Qiuyun frowned and asked.

The person quickly explained, ”Oh, I am the overseer here. Every week, we ship out the Spirit Stones mined here. By the way, my name is Shen Fang. It’s great that you’ve arrived.”

As Shen Fang spoke, seeing the miners stop, his face suddenly darkened, scolding, ”What are you standing around for, hurry up, do you want to eat or not?!”

Then, he viciously whipped the nearest worker with his Soul Beating Whip.

The worker screamed, fell to the ground on the spot, and died after a couple of spasms.

Shen Fang, however, showed no pity, snorting coldly, ”Useless, dying just under seven days here, throw him into the mine shaft quickly.”

Two people stepped forward to carry off the dead worker.

Ye Guichen, seeing this, couldn’t help but frown.

Brutal!

The situation here is even more brutal than imagined.

Zuo Qiuyun, however, acted as if he hadn’t seen a thing, ”Alright, since Song Botong has informed you, take us to the spot where the creatures often appear.”

”Yes, yes, Daoist, please follow me.” Shen Fang immediately turned, leading Ye Guichen and the others forward.

After walking a bit further, a small cave appeared at the side.

Shen Fang stopped at the edge of the small cave, his face showing embarrassment, ”There’s a passage here leading over there, but I don’t dare go. However, that thing doesn’t appear often, so I’ll leave it to you.”

Having said that, Shen Fang clasped his fists, appearing extremely fearful, and quickly turned to flee.

Zuo Qiuyun snorted, muttering something under his breath, glancing at Ye Guichen, ”Will you or I go scout ahead?”

”Please, Daoist Zuo, go ahead first.” Ye Guichen smiled and nodded.

”Alright!” Wanting to show off a bit in front of Ye Guichen, Zuo Qiuyun accepted and instructed his young disciple, ”Xiao Lang, get the Qiankun Mirror ready. If anything appears, activate the Qiankun Mirror immediately.”

”Yes, yes.” The young disciple nodded shakily, quickly pulling out a small round mirror from his pocket.

The round mirror appeared only palm-sized, entirely black, with a Yin-Yang fish pattern on it.

And at the eyes of the two Yin-Yang fish, there were two small rings.

The young disciple grasped the two rings, aiming at the small passage that could only fit one person, his expression extremely grave.

Seeing the young disciple was ready, Zuo Qiuyun said no more, instead taking out a black gourd from his storage ring.

He opened the gourd cap, chanting, ”Heaven and Earth Infinite, Qiankun Lend Law, as swift as law and order!”

With the incantation, Zuo Qiuyun shook the gourd, releasing a burst of dark shadow from within.

The shadow let out a howl, flying straight into the small cave.

Not long after, cries and screams emanated from within.

And the shadow that had flown in unexpectedly returned.
