My Silly, Sweet Wife

Beside him, Yu Wen Dou was already trembling uncontrollably. Seeing this, Ye Guichen placed his hands on Yu Wen Dou’s shoulders, directly channeled True Qi to absorb all the Yinming energy within him.

”Mr. Ye, I didn’t expect this place to be so eerie. I feel that after my True Qi was eroded by this Yinming energy, the power I can exert is less than one-tenth of what it used to be. It’s no wonder this place hasn’t been occupied for a long time and is dominated by Ghost Cultivators and Corpse Cultivators; this Yinming energy is practically their treasure!” Yu Wen Dou looked at Ye Guichen with lingering fear.

Ye Guichen also felt the peculiarity of the Heavenly Ladder, but fortunately, he possessed the Jiuyou Tower, which naturally counteracts such Yinming entities and helps Ye Guichen continuously absorb the Yinming energy within. However, the other two weren’t so lucky.

Ye Guichen contemplated for a moment, deciding to leave the two behind while he ventured forth alone.

At this point, the two did not further insist, realizing they would only distract Ye Guichen by staying with him, offering no substantial help. Besides, here in the Netherworld Mountain, occupied by Ghost Cultivators and Corpse Cultivators, even the physical prowess of the Barbarian Tribe did little good.

The two cheerfully returned to their original spot to wait.

Ye Guichen no longer hesitated and immediately activated his Secret Technique, swiftly heading towards the mountainside.

As Ye Guichen ventured deeper, his vision was increasingly obscured, and countless shadows began to gather continually.

Ye Guichen’s figure suddenly halted, standing atop a platform, his expression focused as he gazed at the Heavenly Ladder shrouded in shadows, brows furrowed.

”Hmm? Who’s there?”

Four figures appeared from four directions, surrounding Ye Guichen, their faces filled with amusement.

”Are you Ye Guichen?” One entirely black-skinned man gazed at Ye Guichen with disdain.

Ye Guichen fixed his gaze, surprisingly finding four humanoid forms all exuding the aura of the Demon Clan, secretly shocked.

There are actually Demon Clan members here who can transform into humans? Could the seal have been broken? But Ye Guichen quickly dismissed that thought, reckoning that if the seal were broken, the Demon Clan would wreak havoc, and the world would not be so peaceful.

”Fourth brother, why bother talking to him so much? Whether he is or not, having dared trespass into the Netherworld Mountain, let’s capture him alive and offer him to the Young Master,” a deep voice said impatiently.

At this moment, Hui Long was scrutinizing Ye Guichen, and the sight of him gave Hui Long an instinctual sense of danger, making him cautious. He knew he had died in the Demon Clan in his past life due to excessive arrogance, leading to his demise. If not for the Demon Clan’s Secret Technique, sealing his soul power, he might have been annihilated, let alone standing here now.

”I didn’t expect there could still be Demon Clan members capable of human transformation here. It seems your bloodline purity isn’t low!” Ye Guichen said slowly as he looked at the four.

”Of course, the four of us brothers are descendants of divine beasts. Our noble blood is beyond the understanding of a lowly human like you,” Wu Que said arrogantly, full of disdain towards Ye Guichen.

Ye Guichen laughed at Wu Que’s words, saying, ”And you call yourself of divine beast bloodline, little sparrow, what a joke.”

”Hmm?”

From afar, Wu Que showed a cold glare upon hearing Ye Guichen’s words, eyes fixed on him as if wanting to cut him into a thousand pieces.

”Big brother, let me cripple this kid and hand him over to the Young Master for punishment,” Wu Que said through gritted teeth to Hui Long beside him.

Hui Long saw Ye Guichen’s smiling face, constantly weighing things in his heart. However, hearing Ye Guichen’s words filled him with rage.

Yet, thinking about Chang Hu and the Hundred-eyed Woman who consecutively fell into Ye Guichen’s hands, he dared not underestimate him despite their prowess being the weakest among them. By logic, they shouldn’t have been unable to deal with a mere Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, making Hui Long wary.

But considering their numerical advantage, even if Wu Que temporarily couldn’t win, he could quickly retreat. Thinking of this, Hui Long gave Wu Que a consenting look.

Seeing Hui Long’s nod, Wu Que approached Ye Guichen, his gaze filled with deep contempt.

”Kid, let me show you the consequence of insulting the sacred bloodline of divine beasts,” Wu Que said viciously at Ye Guichen.

Suddenly, Wu Que’s figure vanished from the spot, space kept shifting, leaving afterimages around Ye Guichen. At times, Ye Guichen couldn’t grasp Wu Que’s position.

Ye Guichen was secretly surprised, realizing the divine beast bloodline was indeed powerful to grant such speed. His initial arrogance was gradually set aside.

”Big brother, seems like fourth brother’s Vermilion Bird transformation has reached the fourth level, able to shrink distances and cross miles in an instant,” Ming Wu praised Wu Que’s figure from afar.

Beside him, Hui Long also showed admiration, but his eyes remained fixed on Ye Guichen, not daring to relax.

”Since you’re competing with me on speed, then I’ll defeat you with speed!” Ye Guichen thought to himself, quickly activating his Secret Technique, and his figure abruptly disappeared from the spot.

After Ye Guichen reached the Nascent Soul Realm, his Secret Technique became even stronger, his speed astonishing.

At this moment in Ye Guichen’s eyes, Wu Que’s speed seemed like a baby toddling, lacking any threat.
