My Silly, Sweet Wife

Chapter 1430 - 1351: Dugu Yue (Part 2)

After all, Ye Guichen felt that as the Jiuyou Tower improved, the power of these remnant souls would also reach a terrifying level.

Of course, these were just future matters.

As those dozen remnant souls silently snuck underground, Yang Buxiu also led Ye Guichen down below.

The underground passage twisted and turned.

At the start, there were still traces of artificial excavation.

But when they descended to around a hundred meters, some stone resembling lava began to appear.

These stones intertwined to form many dark caves.

Even more bizarre was that these caves seemed to be interconnected, yet crisscrossed, making it easy to get lost if one didn’t know the way.

"Hurry, keep up, senior, hurry and catch up." Up ahead, Yang Buxiu’s voice rang out: "It’s too chaotic here, there seem to be some terrifying creatures living underground as well. You must keep close; if you take the wrong path and encounter those subterranean creatures, you might face a fate where survival is slim."

The disciples of the Yin Ghost Sect, hearing this, quickly moved closer to Yang Buxiu, frightened.

Ye Guichen furrowed his brows, increasingly sensing that Yang Buxiu was up to no good.

Before descending, why hadn’t he mentioned any underground creatures?

Now pulling such a stunt, could it be he’s trying to lure me down here to be killed by those underground creatures?

"Ah...!"

And just as Ye Guichen was lost in such chaotic thoughts.

A shriek suddenly came from ahead.

Then, a disciple of the Yin Ghost Sect seemed to be grabbed by something, their body suddenly rising into the air and disappearing instantly into one of the caverns.

The cavern echoed with cries for a while and then returned to silence.

Yet, the atmosphere around became eerie.

"It’s, it’s underground terrifying creatures," Yang Buxiu shouted, looking panicked and helpless.

"Ah? What, what should we do?"

"Vice Sect Master Yang, quick, think of a way!"

"I don’t want to die here!"

The people of the Yin Ghost Sect were all trembling in fear, not daring to move, as if countless eyes around were staring at them.

Once they were alone, it seemed they would be devoured.

Ye Guichen remained calm, signaling to Yan Fang and Gui Tuo.

The two figures vanished instantly from their original spot.

Soon, they returned, whispering in Ye Guichen’s ear.

Quickly, Ye Guichen understood what was going on.

There lived a kind of creature similar to worms down here, terrifying.

However, those creatures were much larger than worms, not only capable of devouring lava but also extending over ten meters, their tongues akin to those of frogs, effortlessly consuming humans.

Furthermore, according to Gui Tuo and Yan Fang, these creatures also seemed to absorb Yin energy, feeding on it, likely nurtured by the diffuse Yin energy underground.

As for the ghost hole Yang Buxiu mentioned, no remnant soul has returned to report on it.

Ye Guichen could basically guess; Yang Buxiu probably wants these things to kill me.

"Hehe, since you want to play, then let’s play slowly." Ye Guichen wasn’t in a hurry, pretending to know nothing and gestured for Yang Buxiu to continue leading the way.

Meanwhile, near the Yin Ghost Sect.

A few figures were peering toward the direction of the Yin Ghost Sect.

"Strange, isn’t this the place of the Yin Ghost Sect, why is no one here?"

"Yes, heard the people from Yin Ghost Sect committed many heinous acts, often killing and robbing. Recently, Yin Ghost Sect’s people slaughtered a village; they are truly as vile as the Demon Clan."

"We’ve searched for so long and finally found the nest of the Yin Ghost Sect. If we could kill all these Yin Ghost Sect people, it would be a significant accomplishment."

"Shh, quiet down, there’s something odd here, I feel."

Leading them was a robust middle-aged man, in his forties or fifties wearing green clothes, with a small beard on his chin and a square face.

He carried two swords on his back; his eyes filled with wisdom, fixed firmly in the direction of the Yin Ghost Sect.

Beside the middle-aged man, lurked a young man with only one arm.

Though the man had only one arm, his eyes held a profound depth having endured hardships.

"Uncle Master, perhaps something is happening to the Yin Ghost Sect. To avoid unexpected incidents, let me go investigate first," the one-armed young man said.

If Ye Guichen were here, he would surely recognize at a glance that this one-armed man was none other than Feng Wuxiu of Wan Jian Villa.

Since Ye Guichen saved Feng Wuxiu half a year ago, after leaving the Spirit Beast Sect and returning to Wan Jian Villa, Feng Wuxiu had been diligently practicing swordsmanship.

In just six months, Feng Wuxiu’s cultivation improved rapidly, even stronger than before.

Especially as he created his own Wuxiu Swordsmanship which ranked highly among Wan Jian Villa’s sword arts.

The villa master of Wan Jian Villa praised Feng Wuxiu highly and promised that as long as Feng Wuxiu trained well, he’d find a way to heal his severed arm.

Upon hearing this, Feng Wuxiu merely chuckled without responding.

If it were before, Feng Wuxiu would surely be thrilled.

To master a supreme sword art with one arm was unprecedented and unparalleled.

However, whenever he recalled the scene of Ye Guichen launching a hundred swords simultaneously, Feng Wuxiu’s excited heart would settle down once more.

Compared to Ye Guichen, it seemed his achievements were insignificant.

Later, Feng Wuxiu also received a message stating that the Spirit Beast Sect had spread word that Ye Guichen obtained the sect’s treasure and even acquired the soul of a dragon.

If one could seize it, cultivation would undoubtedly boost significantly.

This news exploded across the martial realm.

Everyone desired advancement in cultivation.

Everyone wanted to obtain treasures.

As a result, countless people searched for Ye Guichen.

Yet strangely, at this moment, Ye Guichen suddenly vanished.

Even though many wanted to find Ye Guichen, they found nothing.

Gradually, many speculated whether Ye Guichen might be dead or already found and killed.

This news saddened Feng Wuxiu for a long time.

He felt that if Ye Guichen were truly dead, he seemed to have lost his target suddenly.

There was a profound loneliness at the summit.

After all, since birth, Feng Wuxiu had never yielded to anyone in the Sword Dao.

However, regardless of whether Ye Guichen is alive or dead, Feng Wuxiu wanted to know the definite answer.

Over ten days ago, Feng Wuxiu began traveling around, slaying demons and monsters, even considering heading to the North Desolate Border to confront the Demon Clan.

But after passing through a village, Feng Wuxiu learned about the Yin Ghost Sect’s crimes, worse than the Demon Clan.

Thus, Feng Wuxiu felt obliged as a Sword Dao prodigy to eliminate the lawless Yin Ghost Sect.

Upon discovering information regarding the Yin Ghost Sect, he sent a message to Wan Jian Villa, asking for assistance.

Though Wan Jian Villa wasn’t a place of justice, the recent rampant activities of the Yin Ghost Sect made their elimination beneficial to the villa’s reputation.

Recently, besides the Daqian Dynasty, many factions and sects in the martial realm aimed to deal with the Demon Clan.

At this moment, a leader figure was needed.

While not on par with Xuantian Sect, Wan Jian Villa had great ambition.

If the Yin Ghost Sect could be eradicated, Wan Jian Villa would gain tremendous fame, making it possible to become the leader of these sects.

Therefore, Wan Jian Villa directly dispatched Dugu Yue, known for his Dual Swords, leading ten disciples to join Feng Wuxiu to eliminate the Yin Ghost Sect in one fell swoop.

Before Feng Wuxiu stood the middle-aged man, Dugu Yue.

He wielded dual swords, and his swordsmanship was called the Double Dragon Swordsmanship.

It’s said that in all of Wan Jian Villa, aside from the villa master and the patriarch, Dugu Yue’s swordsmanship was the strongest.

Although Dugu Yue’s cultivation was only at Foundation Establishment Tier 7, he feared no one even against Foundation Establishment Peak experts.

Upon Feng Wuxiu’s proposal to investigate, Dugu Yue pondered and nodded in agreement, "Alright, be careful."
