My Silly, Sweet Wife

With a single command, the entire Qin Camp sprang into action.

Hidden in the shadows, Gui Tuo’s face tightened.

He didn’t dare to slack off and quickly wandered around.

Soon enough, Gui Tuo found Elder Lei Long, who was imprisoned.

Lei Long looked extremely haggard, his clothes completely in tatters.

He was tied to a rack, his body covered with many whip marks.

Two men stood before him, holding iron whips.

”Lei Long, as an elder of the Dan God Sect, you should know the intentions of our King Qin. If you surrender obediently and go back to persuade your sect, we will treat you well!”

A Qin soldier sneered at Lei Long.

Lei Long spat out a mouthful of blood: ”Bah, King Qin is nothing! I know his ambition is too great, but no matter how big his ambition is, can it surpass the Netherworld Emperor? Haha, one day, the Son of the Nether Emperor will return, and by then, King Qin will have no choice but to bow down!”

”The Son of the Nether Emperor?” The Qin soldier laughed wildly: ”Lei Long, do you really think that kid will appear? Don’t dream about it. The Seven Kings are all searching for him. If he shows up, he won’t survive; he will become a puppet. What’s so scary about a puppet?”

Lei Long mocked: ”How pathetic, you people really have such short-sightedness!”

”Haha, is that so?” The Qin soldier laughed, ”Let me show you how short-sighted we really are!”

The sound of whipping resumed.

Lei Long screamed and cursed, yet showed no signs of submission.

Gui Tuo frowned, not expecting Lei Long to be so resilient.

Could it be that the Son of the Nether Emperor held such a strong belief in these people’s hearts?

Gui Tuo knew he couldn’t intervene; even if he did, he couldn’t save anyone. After a slight hesitation, he quickly turned around.

However, just as Gui Tuo was about to leave, he suddenly heard dogs barking everywhere.

Not only that, but there seemed to be a bloody smell spreading around.

This feeling made Gui Tuo’s heart palpitate.

He didn’t dare stay any longer and quickly rushed out.

However, just as he rushed outside the tent, he was met with black liquid splashing toward him.

”Ahhh!”

Once the black dog blood touched him, Gui Tuo’s body immediately sizzled, as if it were being burned.

”Watch my Soul-locking Net!”

Someone laughed wildly as a large red net suddenly descended upon Gui Tuo.

Gui Tuo tried to struggle, but found that the net seemed designed to restrain him.

In the next second, he was tightly bound, unable to struggle.

With great difficulty, he opened his eyes only to find a black-faced strong man in front of him—Hu Lu.

Hu Lu held a wine bottle in his hand, coldly watching the now visible Gui Tuo: ”Haha, who would’ve thought someone could refine a Ghost Slave. And it’s a conscious one. If I take this back to our master, he will surely praise us!”

Hu Lu looked at Gui Tuo, who was filled with terror: ”Speak up, who sent you?”

Gui Tuo didn’t expect Hu Lu to capture him, and the red rope binding him was soaked in black dog blood, specifically used to restrain ghostly beings.

Gui Tuo remained silent, staring fiercely at Hu Lu.

Hu Lu sneered, ”Not talking, huh? Let’s see if you really can’t speak!”

With a pull of his hand, the red rope constricted even tighter.

Gui Tuo’s body was immediately covered with countless wounds.

The pain was unbearable.

”Let me go! Let me go!” Gui Tuo shouted, but Hu Lu wasn’t going to release him.

Seeing no immediate answers, Hu Lu collected the red rope net, now as small as an egg, and put it away.

”Everyone be alert; I didn’t expect someone who can control a Ghost Slave to appear. Haha, this is getting more interesting!” After giving his orders, Hu Lu went back to drinking.

Ye Guichen waited for half a day outside the Three Harmonies Valley, but Gui Tuo still hadn’t returned, and a sense of foreboding gradually welled up inside him.

Though a Qi Refiner is powerful, they wouldn’t necessarily be able to kill or capture a ghostly being like Gui Tuo.

Unless they practiced specific Taoist techniques or had items to restrain spectral creatures, it would be impossible to pose a threat to Gui Tuo.

Moreover, with Gui Tuo’s stealth skills, it was nearly impossible for anyone to detect him.

”Something’s wrong. Could there be an expert in the Qin Camp?”

Unable to hold back any longer, Ye Guichen was about to go to the Qin Camp to investigate, when Brother Qiao stopped him: ”Ye, what do you think you’re doing?”

”Gui Tuo might be in trouble, I need to check it out.”

”What? You’re going to break into Qin Camp? Ye, I know the elders value you, but now is not the time to take risks. The general in the Qin Camp is named Hu Lu, extremely sinister, even Bai Qi from the Qi Camp isn’t his match. Also, there are three thousand Qin soldiers, and there are at least three to five experts above the fifth level of Qi Refinement. If you rush over recklessly, it will be a pointless death.”

Although Brother Qiao had once been envious of Ye Guichen, not understanding why he was favored by the elders and given a special room upon joining the Dan God Sect.

However, as the Great Returning Pill was slowly refined, and the Dan God Sect started making a profit, Brother Qiao’s doubts began to dissipate.

Especially after hearing that Nolan Qingqing’s Golden Snake Swordsmanship was taught by Ye Guichen, Brother Qiao was greatly amazed.

Though they hadn’t focused much on cultivation before, Qin’s provocations and even violence forced them to change their focus.

In such times, martial strength naturally became paramount.

Pills were pushed to the background.

Meeting Ye Guichen again, he found that Ye was now accompanied by two Three-headed Red Wolves, which left Brother Qiao astounded.

The Great Elder and Lei Long had brought back information that a sixth-tier beast was a Three-headed Red Wolf.

The Three-headed Red Wolf also had three cubs.

But later, the whereabouts of the three cubs became unknown, and the fate of the Three-headed Red Wolf remained uncertain. Lost in their own thoughts, they never expected the three cubs to end up with Ye Guichen.

Without knowing the full story, Brother Qiao had come to respect Ye Guichen.

”Ye, I know you want to rescue him, but you must have absolute certainty. The Great Elder once said that you are the future hope of the Dan God Sect. With your Alchemy skills, you can definitely bring glory to the sect!” Brother Qiao spoke sincerely.

Ye Guichen patted Brother Qiao on the shoulder: ”Brother Qiao, I really don’t take those Qin soldiers seriously. Wait for me here for two hours, I’ll be back.”

With that, and without waiting for Brother Qiao to stop him, he vanished suddenly.

”So fast?” Brother Qiao was in shock.

This speed, it was too fast!

Feeling anxious, Brother Qiao could do nothing but silently pray for Ye Guichen’s safety.
