My Silly, Sweet Wife

In an instant, Wu Lang felt as though he was being watched by a giant ghost, unable to move even an inch.

That’s not all. He was just about to retaliate when he realized the opponent’s hand was already in front of him.

Almost about to imprint on his face.

Such speed!

Wu Lang’s expression grew colder.

He couldn’t respond at all.

Ye Guichen’s lips curled: ”Well, do you still believe I can’t kill you now?”

With the Divine Movement Face Change, killing over ranks was not a problem for Ye Guichen at all.

Everyone was extremely tense.

Yet no one dared to step forward.

Ye Guichen withdrew his hand, smiling as he looked at Wu Lang: ”You seem to have a Taoist Dharma Seal on you, which can ward off some ghostly things. Hehe, but in front of me, such seals are useless.”

Wu Lang’s pupils contracted in shock.

Because no one knew he had a Taoist Eight Trigrams Mirror on him.

This Eight Diagrams Mirror can ward off ghosts, even restraining powerful ones.

This was also why he chose this section of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Forest.

Staying here, he had a natural advantage.

Even if he had nowhere to go, he wouldn’t be killed, as disturbing the ghosts here would make them his shield.

Yet unexpectedly, this young lad in front of him saw through it at a glance.

”Alright, I’ll do it!” He took a deep breath, barely maintaining calm, and looked at Ye Guichen with fear, instructing: ”Take good care of Mr. Ye, and don’t slacken at all.”

Ye Guichen nodded with satisfaction: ”I’ll wait for your news.”

...

Meanwhile, Lu San and Lu Si fled all the way and finally met up with Ren Wobai and others.

”Where’s Ye Sheng?” Ren Wobai asked immediately upon seeing only the two of them.

Lu San and Lu Si explained what had happened.

Ren Wobai was somewhat incredulous: ”You mean, he killed Ling Yun, the second son of the City Lord of Yong’an City?”

Lu San nodded: ”That’s right, he was caught by the Wolf Head Gang, but was quite loyal, letting us go. However, I feel he’s in grave danger.”

Ren Wobai never imagined such a thing would happen.

Originally, he thought if Ye Guichen was indeed the Son of Nether Emperor, he might lead him to great success.

Now things have changed. Ye Guichen acted so recklessly.

”Ah, such a good talent, especially in times like this, should be cautious and tread carefully, yet he acts so impulsively; what a shame.” Ren Wobai sighed lightly in his heart, pondering, and then said, ”For now, let’s wait at the edge of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Forest for two days. Anyway, we told him the route; if there’s still no sign of him in two days, we’ll leave.”

The Lu family brothers, though unwilling, naturally nodded in agreement once Ren Wobai spoke.

That night, Ye Guichen was arranged on a comfortable big bed.

Wu Lang even sent two beauties to warm Ye Guichen’s bed.

Ye Guichen directly refused.

Watching the forlorn eyes of the two ladies as they left, Ye Guichen suddenly wondered if he was somewhat indifferent in that aspect?

Alarmed, he quickly sat up and carefully recalled his past interactions with Chen Ziran.

Then he patted his chest and let out a sigh of relief.

Luckily, luckily!

He seemed to be a person with lasting affection, not feeling anything for new acquaintances, but still feeling for Chen Ziran.

Once matters here are settled, Ye Guichen wouldn’t mind bringing Chen Ziran over and then taking her to train and fly.

He slept soundly that night.

Ye Guichen didn’t stay on guard against anyone, after all.

Especially with Gui Tuo lurking in the dark, anyone wanting to ambush Ye Guichen was simply impossible.

What Ye Guichen hadn’t anticipated was that early the next day, even before dawn, Wu Lang sent word.

The City Lord of Yong’an City, Lingtian, personally left the city, vowing to exterminate the Wolf Head Gang.

Ye Guichen was quite surprised.

Although he didn’t know what method Wu Lang had used, if he could escape the Yan King’s eye and flee all the way here, surely it took more than just cultivation.

Moreover, Wu Lang sent another message saying a team on Tianqiao seemed to be looking for people from the Dan God Sect.

Although Ye Guichen didn’t know why people from Tianqiao were searching for those from the Dan God Sect, nor was he interested to know.

After asking Wu Lang for the City Lord Lingtian’s attack route, he left directly.

Of course, Wu Lang didn’t stop him.

Even if he tried, he certainly couldn’t stop him.

”Boss, you’re just letting that guy go?” Someone was dissatisfied.

Ye Guichen killed someone in the Wolf Head Gang and turned around to leave; it was too dismissive of them.

But Wu Lang shook his head instead, eyes full of fear: ”Ye Sheng is not simple; he not only has the ability to kill me, I feel there’s some terrifying presence around him, it just hasn’t shown itself yet.”

”Boss, are you being too suspicious?” The subordinates still expressed doubt over Ye Guichen’s methods.

Wu Lang didn’t say more but instructed: ”You guys immediately go set up defenses at the route Lingtian must pass through and see how Ye Sheng kills Lingtian. If he can truly kill Lingtian, it proves he’s indeed beyond our capability to handle, and following him wouldn’t be bad. But if he intends to escape, we might also need to hide for a while, avoid Lingtian’s wrath.”

The anger of the City Lord of Yong’an City was not something Wu Lang could bear.

Over the years, Wu Lang leading the Wolf Head Gang was safe and sound, partly relying on the Ten Thousand Ghosts Forest, and partly because he hadn’t thoroughly angered Lingtian.

That is to say, Lingtian felt the value of making a move on Wu Lang was far less than the benefit of killing him.

Therefore, to add some bargaining chips, last night Wu Lang, after placing Ling Yun’s corpse at Yong’an City’s entrance, quietly infiltrated Yong’an City and also killed Lingtian’s eldest son.

Originally, Lingtian’s eldest son wasn’t weak either, even having guards, Wu Lang wouldn’t easily succeed.

But that guy was courting death, drinking every last drop, almost every day getting himself utterly drunk and unconscious.

Then, Wu Lang effortlessly cut off his head while Lingtian’s eldest son was asleep and used his blood to write the Wolf Head Gang’s name on it.

Lingtian saw it and burst into rage, vowing to kill Wu Lang and eradicate the Wolf Head Gang.

Wu Lang’s action was actually a gamble.

A gamble on Ye Guichen.

If Ye Guichen couldn’t kill Lingtian, then he would have to move elsewhere, only returning after the storm passed.

Ye Guichen followed Wu Lang’s given route and soon reached the spot where Lingtian must pass.

This was an abandoned village; for unknown reasons, the villagers there all died overnight more than a decade ago.

Now the village was empty, with many houses collapsed.

The quickest route from Yong’an City to Ten Thousand Ghosts Forest was through this village.

Ye Guichen reached the village and quickly found a hiding spot.

It was at the village head’s Land God Temple.

The Land God Temple, though small and somewhat dilapidated, was still a perfect hideout.

Ye Guichen aimed to use the Xuanming Prison Suppressing Technique’s Tidal Destruction to instantly kill Lingtian.

Ye Guichen believed as long as it was within his controllable range, no Qi Refining Realm expert could survive this move of his.
