My Silly, Sweet Wife

”The Esoteric Sect’s techniques are one hundred and eight volumes, while the techniques practiced by the Yin Ghost Sect are nothing but insignificant.”

”Though I, Long Yuntai, am not particularly talented, I happened to cultivate the one hundred and seventh volume, the Ghost Volume. Dealing with a small Yin Ghost Sect like yours is no trouble at all!”

In Long Yuntai’s hand, the iron chain clanked loudly, directly wrapping around Gui Jianchou.

Then he pulled and twisted it in front of himself.

The domineering black aura around Gui Jianchou was instantly dispelled.

At the same time, Gui Jianchou seemed to be restrained by something, directly falling to the ground, extremely embarrassed.

The sudden change left everyone present stunned.

Wu Hualong was also dumbfounded.

The appearance of Gui Jianchou made him swiftly switch sides, even willing to use his daughter Wu Nuannuan as a bargaining chip.

But now, within just a few exchanges, Gui Jianchou was easily knocked down by Long Yuntai, as if he couldn’t fight back at all.

”How, how is this possible?” Wu Hualong’s eyes flickered, his mind racing.

Zhou Wantong and the others never expected a figure like Gui Jianchou, akin to the reincarnation of King Yan, to be so easily overpowered.

Ye Guichen, however, saw through the situation.

As the saying goes, one thing subdues another.

One move counters another.

The methods Long Yuntai practiced seemed to precisely counter Gui Jianchou, even more so than the Daoist sects against the Yin Ghost Sect.

It seems this Esoteric Sect is indeed an enigmatic and powerful sect, with unparalleled techniques.

”Senior, spare me!” Gui Jianchou pleaded as he knelt on the ground.

Long Yuntai snorted coldly, flinging his hand, and the sound of the iron chain seemed to lock into Gui Jianchou’s ribs, causing him to scream miserably.

”If you want to live, let’s see what the Sect Master says!” He pulled again, dragging Gui Jianchou to Ye Guichen’s feet.

Then, under everyone’s gaze, Long Yuntai knelt on one knee before Ye Guichen, ”Sect Master, please give your orders!”

”Wha!”

Everyone, except Wu Hualong, was utterly shocked.

”Se... Sect Master?”

”What kind of international joke is this? That inconspicuous guy is Long Yuntai’s master?”

”Oh my, isn’t that even more powerful than Gui Jianchou?”

For a moment, Zhou Wantong and others were dumbfounded.

Because, from beginning to end, they never paid any attention to Ye Guichen, only seeing him as a junior of the Su Family.

But now, this inconspicuous junior turned out to be Long Yuntai’s master.

Even Su Wu and Su Cheng were stunned.

They looked at Ye Guichen incredulously, ”Sect Master, the Esoteric Sect Master?”

When did this happen?

Su Wu believed he understood Ye Guichen quite well, but when did he become the Esoteric Sect Master?

The matters of Medicine King Valley were known to many in the Su Family, but no one ever linked Ye Guichen with the Esoteric Sect.

But now, this Ye Guichen had become the Esoteric Sect Master?

Ye Guichen was also quite helpless.

Though somewhat unwilling, witnessing Long Yuntai’s methods just now, he couldn’t help but be a bit moved.

The Esoteric Sect’s techniques are one hundred and eight volumes, and the Ghost Volume is just one of them. Even the Sect Master of the Yin Ghost Sect was no match for Long Yuntai. If he could learn these one hundred and eight volumes of techniques, wouldn’t he be truly invincible under heaven?

However, what Ye Guichen didn’t know was that even though the Esoteric Sect had one hundred and eight volumes of techniques, someone like Long Yuntai who mastered just one gate was a rarity. Even past sect masters only practiced the Xuanming Prison Suppressing Technique, and the most powerful sect master seemed to have only cultivated seven techniques.

If Long Yuntai knew that Ye Guichen wanted to learn all one hundred and eight techniques, he might not help but mock him.

That was simply impossible!

Ye Guichen slowly stood straight. Although he was reluctant to be this Sect Master, all eyes were now on him.

The feeling of being the center of attention was indeed not bad.

”Kui Long, who used to be under my command, is now dead at his hand. Let him be buried with Kui Long!” Ye Guichen looked at Gui Jianchou calmly and said expressionlessly, ”Moreover, the Yin Ghost Sect deserves to vanish. It was due to the Eternal Life Hall that it arose, a truly evil sect. Given that they have the art of communicating with spirits but don’t use it to benefit others, only thinking of using ghosts to harm, what use is there in keeping them?”

”Now, by the order of the Esoteric Sect Master, I forever revoke the Ghost Volume technique of the Yin Ghost Sect!”

With those words, Ye Guichen stretched out his hand.

The Xuanming Prison Suppressing Technique unfolded.

Chilling murderous intent surged into Gui Jianchou’s body.

Gui Jianchou’s pupils narrowed, falling to the ground screaming, but his throat seemed choked, unable to make a sound.

Soon, Gui Jianchou’s body became increasingly emaciated.

Within minutes, he turned into skin and bones.

His frightened face still bore endless resentment.

He never expected that by doing something for the Eternal Life Hall Master, he would die so tragically.

Everyone else was terrified out of their wits.

Wu Hualong and others knelt on the ground, trembling.

Ye Guichen gave a faint smile, walked to Kui Long, and began practicing the Yimu Eternal Youth Technique.

Life essence flowed slowly into Kui Long’s body.

In a few minutes, Kui Long’s body seemed nourished, his heartbeat resounding like a drum.

”Phew!”

Seeing his body inflate like it was filled with air, slowly restoring to its original state,

Kui Long flipped and knelt before Ye Guichen, ”For the favor of giving me a new life, Kui Long has nothing to repay. From today on, my life is yours, Mr. Ye!”

Everyone was amazed.

The way Ye Guichen saved or took life occurred with just a thought.

No one dared to doubt him.

Wu Hualong’s eyes flickered, bowing his head heavily to the ground, ”Mr. Ye, I have a daughter, I offer her to you, wishing for your kind acceptance.”

He then pushed Wu Nuannuan towards Ye Guichen.

Ye Guichen didn’t even glance at her, walking straight out of the hall, ”Your matters, I have no interest in meddling. Long Yuntai, come with me.”

No one dared to stop him.

Yet, the Su Family was highly elated.

Although Ye Guichen didn’t want to involve himself, everyone knew that his relation with the Su Family was good.

Even if given eight lives, they wouldn’t dare touch the Su Family.

Su Wu barely mustered a breath and smiled bitterly.

If not for his normally high cultivation level, he might have already died at Gui Jianchou’s hands.

But even so, he was severely wounded now, likely taking three to five months to recover to peak form.

Meanwhile, Ye Guichen, with whom he once participated in the grand martial competition, was now beyond his reach.

”Heh, who would’ve thought our Su Family would one day rely on his grace to survive.” Su Wu watched Ye Guichen’s back, mixed emotions in his heart.

Ye Guichen put on a great show, yet he wasn’t in a good state himself.

Especially since he had just pulled Kui Long back from the brink of death, nearly draining himself.

After all, it was just the first tier of the Yimu Eternal Youth Technique, and for the sake of scaring others, he claimed that Kui Long was already dead, but he knew Kui Long was only drained of life by Gui Jianchou and had not truly reached death.

However, in others’ eyes, Ye Guichen had performed the feat of reviving the dead.

This display not only intimidated the Su Family and Wu Hualong but also Long Yuntai.

”Sect Master, did you use the Yimu Eternal Youth Technique just now to revive Kui Long, the Evergreen Volume, Volume Seventy-Eight of the Esoteric Sect?” Long Yuntai, flattered, looked at him with twinkling eyes.

Ye Guichen had no idea about the Evergreen Volume or the Eternal Volume; he had merely picked up this cultivation technique by chance, waving his hand dismissively, ”Tell me more about the Esoteric Sect. After all, being the Sect Master yet knowing nothing about the Esoteric Sect doesn’t seem appropriate.”

Long Yuntai’s eyes lit up, ”You’ve agreed to become the Esoteric Sect Master?”
