My Silly, Sweet Wife-Chapter 1082: An Initial Understanding of the Hidden Sect

It was for this reason that King Qin sent Fang Tiancheng to bring Ye Guichen back, to confirm this suspicion.

If Ye Guichen truly is the Son of Nether Emperor, then of course Ye Guichen should be kept firmly in hand, to do something akin to wielding the Emperor to sway the vassals.

Earlier, Fang Tiancheng had the same thought, so as King Qin's Envoy, he went to Chu Tiannan to demand the person, while warning King Qin's Envoy.

But today's battle at Tai Lake made Fang Tiancheng change his mind.

"Mr. Ye, are you really the Son of Nether Emperor?" Fang Tiancheng, who had been staring at Ye Guichen, saw no ripple of expression on Ye Guichen's face and suddenly asked excitedly.

Ye Guichen smiled without answering.

Fang Tiancheng seemed to know the answer: "Did Great Ming King swear allegiance to you because you are the Son of Nether Emperor?"

Ye Guichen still did not answer: "If I am the Son of Nether Emperor, would you try every means to capture me back?"

"No, no, no." Fang Tiancheng shook his head hastily: "Mr. Ye, no, Young Master, I, Fang Tiancheng, am willing to pledge allegiance to you!"

After speaking, he unexpectedly knelt directly in front of Ye Guichen, expressing sincerity.

Ye Guichen was taken aback by Fang Tiancheng's move and paused for a moment: "What do you mean?"

"If it were before, I would have absolutely captured you without hesitation, handed you over to King Qin, turning you into King Qin's puppet. But today, having witnessed your strength, you are absolutely the Son of Nether Emperor, with extraordinary talent, capable of reviving Hidden Sect and unifying the Seven Kings!" Fang Tiancheng looked at Ye Guichen with eager eyes: "I want to be your servant, to pledge allegiance to you!"

Ye Guichen understood.

This Fang Tiancheng, even if guessing he is the Son of Nether Emperor, considered him mediocre before. Killing Jitian today on Tai Lake made him change his mind.

Rather than swearing allegiance to King Qin, it would be better to swear allegiance to the true Son of Nether Emperor.

This Fang Tiancheng is indeed quite smart.

"What if I'm not the Son of Nether Emperor?" After figuring it out, Ye Guichen looked at Fang Tiancheng playfully.

Fang Tiancheng was startled, and after a moment hastily shook his head: "No! You are definitely the Son of Nether Emperor, only the Son of Nether Emperor under heaven could possess such talent as yours, Young Master, I, Fang Tiancheng, am willing to follow you. Initially, I was forced to become a subordinate of King Qin, but I hope one day to revive Hidden Sect and avenge the Nether Emperor!"

Fang Tiancheng spoke sincerely.

Ye Guichen did not entirely believe, nor did he ignore the possibility, instead he sat on the sofa indifferently: "Then express your sincerity to me first."

Fang Tiancheng froze, hesitated for a moment, and took out a green emerald-like object from his bosom: "This is the treasure to shield my aura and ignore arrays, called the Heavenly Chaos Instrument. As long as it is carried, it can not only hide one's aura but also slightly change one's appearance if one wishes. I am willing to present the Heavenly Chaos Instrument to the Young Master, hoping the Young Master can take me in. From today on, I wish to follow the Young Master, ready to serve."

Ye Guichen accepted the Heavenly Chaos Instrument, which felt warm and soft like a piece of gentle jade in his grip.

Moreover, at the moment of grasping it, Ye Guichen actually felt as if a strange power was entwining him.

The feeling was bizarre.

It seems indeed a treasure.

Of course, Ye Guichen would not be polite, and directly put it away: "Since that's the case, I'll accept it. Tell me about the current situation of Hidden Sect."

Upon seeing Ye Guichen accept the Heavenly Chaos Instrument, Fang Tiancheng quickly said: "Young Master, Hidden Sect is still amidst the chaos of the Seven Kings, with King Qin being the most powerful faction, while the other six kings also occupy their own territories. However, after the last turmoil, Hidden Sect Seven Kings have recuperated for more than twenty years. I heard now a few kings secretly started contacting each other, planning to deal with King Qin. That's why King Qin is anxious, wanting to capture you to wield the Emperor to command the vassals and unify the other six kings."

"I always thought you had departed with the Nether Emperor more than twenty years ago, but now I realize you're still alive. Actually, within Hidden Sect, many of the former subordinates of the Nether Emperor remain. Once they know you're alive, you'll definitely command great support, and then, killing the Seven Kings, unifying Hidden Sect will be within reach!"

Fang Tiancheng gazed at Ye Guichen with expectant eyes.

Ye Guichen also gained a general understanding of Hidden Sect.

This is also the first time Ye Guichen has a general understanding of the current Hidden Sect.

To enter Hidden Sect, one must go through a place called Ghost Market.

Ghost Market is a place where high-priced trades by Martial Artists take place, often featuring treasures like the Heavenly Chaos Instrument.

It's said these treasures were left by Cultivators. Back then, Fang Tiancheng spent considerable resources to obtain the Heavenly Chaos Instrument, even draining his assets.

Though he presented it to Ye Guichen now, he did not regret it in the slightest.

Because Fang Tiancheng knows if Ye Guichen unifies Hidden Sect and once again becomes Nether Emperor, he, Fang Tiancheng, could also rise to great heights, making the Heavenly Chaos Instrument seem insignificant.

Ye Guichen naturally understood Fang Tiancheng's intentions, although he did not hold much hope for his loyalty. However, now he urgently needed a person familiar with Hidden Sect like Fang Tiancheng to run errands.

Since Ye Guichen is unfamiliar with the terrain, trying to enter Hidden Sect would be like a headless fly, probably killed by the Seven Kings before even confronting them, risking life and death.

But with Fang Tiancheng leading the way, it could at least give Ye Guichen some buffer time to learn more about Hidden Sect.

According to Fang Tiancheng, Hidden Sect is not just a massive organization but also enveloped by an enormous array that ordinary people cannot access, and even if they could, they would inevitably perish.

The area inside is no less than where Ye Guichen currently resides, even much larger, with a situation resembling the ancient era of the Warring States, though most inside are Martial Artists.

Those Martial Artists utterly disdain ordinary people of the world, in their eyes, the ordinary people are mere ants existing in this world, with a frog at the bottom of a well perspective.

"Hidden Sect, Ghost Market..." Ye Guichen pondered for a moment, then asked aloud: "Where is Ghost Market?"

"Oh, it's in Kunlun Mountain. Cultivators often appear there, some entering Hidden Sect to become part of the Seven Kings, while others find a place on this side to cultivate. However, they utterly disdain populated places like cities since spiritual energy there is too sparse, in their eyes a barren land."

Upon hearing, Ye Guichen nodded, agreeing with this point.

The city may be bustling, but it holds little attraction for Cultivators.

Instead, it is those deep secluded mountains that, due to various reasons, remain untouched by ordinary people, becoming places Cultivators prefer to stay.

In recent years, reports on television often mention ships disappearing in the Bermuda Triangle, then sightings of wild men in Wild Man Valley.

Yet, investigations have yielded no results.

Ye Guichen has reason to believe Cultivators may inhabit those places, deliberately triggering such phenomena to prevent ordinary people from trespassing.
