My Silly, Sweet Wife

Time passed by the second.

After lurking in the Land God Temple for almost two hours, a group quickly swept past from behind the village.

There were eleven of them, all lightly armed, moving swiftly, and they stopped when they reached the village’s Land God Temple.

”There are no ambushes nearby, it should be fine.”

”Good, quickly report back to the City Lord, we will wait here.”

”As you command!”

Then, three of them turned back, leaving eight by the Land God Temple, splitting into teams of two, and quickly dispersing.

In the end, only two remained near the Land God Temple.

Before long, the two began to whisper.

”That Wolf Head Gang is really audacious, daring to kill the City Lord’s two sons, they’re definitely doomed this time.”

”Yeah, the City Lord is furious, bringing half of the city’s experts with him, it’s going to be quite a show.”

”Alright, stay alert, the City Lord will be here soon, don’t mess up.”

The two didn’t say much more, quickly staying vigilant of their surroundings.

Ye Guichen could see that the eleven just now were likely scouts, sent to gather information, inevitably being ambushed by the Wolf Head Gang.

Ye Guichen did not act hastily.

He could see these scouts’ skills were generally not high, most were Innate experts, but they moved quickly, evidently cultivating a technique similar to his Godspeed Shift.

However, their speed was noticeably inferior to his Godspeed Shift.

In less than half an hour, the ground began to tremble.

A troop of ten thousand people passed through the village like a swarm of ants.

It was Ye Guichen’s first time seeing such a large mobilization, far more impressive than anything seen on TV.

It wasn’t hard to imagine that ancient battles with tens or hundreds of thousands of troops must have been even more awe-inspiring.

In the front of the troops, there was a palanquin.

The palanquin was carried by eight experts and was quite large.

Ye Guichen guessed that City Lord Lingtian was inside it.

Even at such a time, enjoying himself—it was truly extravagant.

Quickly, the army passed through the village, and when the palanquin neared Ye Guichen at the Land God Temple, Ye Guichen suddenly sprang up, leaping into the air from the temple.

But Ye Guichen did not charge into the palanquin. Instead, utilizing Godspeed Shift, he rapidly approached it using his speed advantage and, outside the palanquin, executed the Xuanming Prison Suppressing Technique’s Heaven and Earth Submerge.

In an instant, the eight experts carrying the palanquin convulsed and died on the spot.

The scene was plunged into chaos.

Ye Guichen sensed through intuition that the person inside the palanquin was dead.

However, Ye Guichen had a strange feeling.

If Yong’an City’s City Lord was truly a Qi Refining Level Eight expert, although he could use the Xuanming Prison Suppressing Technique to suppress him, he wouldn’t have been killed so easily.

It would have only temporarily exhausted part of his vitality.

There was something fishy about the death.

But the scene gave Ye Guichen no chance for thought.

”Haha, thief, so you really are here ambushing me!”

A wild voice resounded.

Not far away, a person riding a white tiger appeared.

The person was armored, his gaze revealing an unconcealed sharpness.

”Damn it, this Lingtian used a decoy!”

Ye Guichen’s expression darkened, indeed, killing a City Lord wasn’t so easy.

The opponent had been entrenched in Yong’an City for so long; it wasn’t something he could easily eradicate.

”Do not kill him, capture him alive!” Lingtian ordered, and over a dozen experts surrounded Ye Guichen.

Though most were Innate experts, there were two Qi Refiners among them, both at the fourth or fifth level of the Qi Refining Realm.

Ye Guichen initially intended to kill Lingtian and then use Godspeed Shift to escape immediately.

But now, escaping didn’t seem easy.

Moreover, without killing Lingtian, his plan couldn’t proceed.

”Lingtian, your son has sinned greatly. Today, I’ll take your life!” Grasping the Immortal Slayer Sword, he swung it, slaying several Innate experts directly.

Lingtian’s pupils contracted; he hadn’t expected Ye Guichen to be so formidable. ”Shoot arrows!”

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Crossbow arrows rained towards Ye Guichen like hail.

Ye Guichen didn’t attempt to dodge; instead, he commanded, ”Block the arrows for me!”

No one knew whom Ye Guichen was talking to, but as soon as he spoke, an invisible barrier seemed to fall before him.

It was Gui Tuo.

Ye Guichen directly ignored the crossbow arrows, charging towards Lingtian.

Lingtian frowned, surprised by Ye Guichen’s prowess, ”Leave no survivors, kill him!”

Two Qi Refiners charged forward, one wielding a sword, the other a blade, attacking from both sides.

Ye Guichen was blocked by the two, unable to advance, he stopped and gave them a cold look, ”If you want to die, keep blocking me!”

The two didn’t respond at all.

In their eyes, Ye Guichen was merely a Qi Refining Level Three expert.

While he had reached the Qi Refining Realm, to them, he was still an ant that could be easily crushed.

The gap between levels was as insurmountable as a chasm.

”This is the price of arrogance!”

The one wielding the blade rushed at Ye Guichen.

The blade seemed to bring a chill, freezing the surrounding air.

Ye Guichen sneered, not intending to dodge at all, ”Immortal Slayer!”

The second slash of Immortal Slayer was executed immediately.

In an instant, the chill was shattered into pieces.

A fierce killing intent surged towards the opponent’s forehead.

Buzz!

It was as though a vibrating sound echoed.

The opponent’s pupils contracted, attempting to retreat, but it was too late.

His head was directly severed.

Ye Guichen didn’t stop the Immortal Slayer Sword, slashing again at the swordsman expert.

The opponent was momentarily stunned, trying to block.

But his sword was easily cleaved in two by Ye Guichen’s Immortal Slayer Sword.

And when he tried to retreat, it was too late.

Ye Guichen chopped the opponent in half.

Two swords, two Qi Refining experts.

The whole scene was in shock.

Lingtian hadn’t expected such an expert in the Wolf Head Gang.

His face darkened, preparing to personally intervene, but Ye Guichen had already closed in.

The white tiger seemed to sense Ye Guichen’s ferocity, roaring and abruptly lifting a front paw, swiping at Ye Guichen.

Ye Guichen smirked with a mocking smile, ”Just a beast, still wants to fight me!”

Glaring with his eyes, he operated the Xuanming Prison Suppressing Technique.

His eyes instantly resembled the descent of the Ghost King.

The white tiger’s paw halted mid-air, whimpering, suddenly trembling its body, flinging Lingtian off and turning to flee.

Lingtian leaped down, standing steadily, his heart shocked to the core.

This white tiger was something he had painstakingly subdued; even against a Qi Refining Level Eight expert, it shouldn’t flee.

Even if it couldn’t win, it wouldn’t be so timid.

What was wrong today?

”Boy, you’re strong!” Lingtian spoke, ”Why aid the wicked? The Wolf Head Gang is a band of thieves. If you’re willing to surrender to me, I guarantee wealth and prosperity!”
