My Silly, Sweet Wife-Chapter 1138: Return to the Mortal World

Jin Ling never expected to encounter Ye Guichen here.

But soon, Jin Ling's expression turned even more grim.

Ye Guichen is formidable outside, but how could he possibly stand against these people here?

Especially the person holding her is probably strong too; if Ye Guichen gets hurt, she wouldn't be able to face Chu Tiannan even if she were to die.

"You, you need to run!"

Jin Ling shouted with all her might, but her voice was hoarse, as if squeezed through a crack.

Yet the scene that followed made Jin Ling's brain freeze completely.

The Qi Refiner respectfully stepped aside, leaving room at his side.

That wasn't all, there was another woman accompanying Ye Guichen.

And that woman was also a Qi Refiner.

The woman stood half a step behind Ye Guichen, as if she were following his lead.

What is happening?

Jin Ling was utterly shocked.

But now was clearly not the time to think about these things.

Jin Ling's brain was oxygen-deprived; dizzy, she heard the person behind her shout: "Haha, you want to kill me? It seems you're the one behind all this, kid! Release me, and I won't trouble you anymore, how's that?"

Ye Guichen took two steps forward: "I said, let her go!"

"Let her go?" Housekeeper Hu sneered, his face menacing: "I didn't expect you to know this woman! That's wonderful, let me go, and I'll release her, otherwise I will kill her!"

Ye Guichen shook his head lightly: "You're truly stubborn, since that's the case, don't blame me for being impolite."

With that, Ye Guichen spoke calmly: "Gui Tuo, kill him."

"What?" Housekeeper Hu was startled, not understanding what was happening, but suddenly felt his body losing control, a bizarre force emanating from behind him.

Then, as he turned his head, he saw a ghostly figure appear seemingly from nowhere behind him.

The ghostly figure plunged a hand into his chest.

In that instant, Housekeeper Hu felt his heart being crushed.

"You, what kind of monster are you..." Housekeeper Hu was unwilling, but his body quickly slumped.

Ye Guichen stepped forward, supporting the dizzy Jin Ling: "Why are you here?"

Having survived the ordeal, Jin Ling was shocked but quickly regained her clarity: "Right, something happened, Lord Military God sent me to find you!"

Then Jin Ling quickly recounted the events.

After listening, Ye Guichen's expression turned dangerously somber.

Just half an hour ago, Ye Guichen had reached a preliminary agreement with Feng Yuanshan, one of Yan King's subordinates.

Yan King recognized Ye Guichen as the master, while Ye Guichen would secretly infiltrate the Hidden Sect, quietly developing his influence, and wait for the opportunity to target the other Six Kings.

Then, using Ghost Market as the backing, the chance of success during the Seven Kings' chaos was great.

Yet now, someone dared touch his scales.

"Hua Xiangrong, you handle matters here. Before I return, you must gain complete control over Ghost Market," Ye Guichen instructed Hua Xiangrong, unafraid she would harbor rebellious feelings.

However, as a precaution, Ye Guichen still left Gui Tuo at Ghost Market.

This Ghost Market somehow formed; not only is it like a hidden paradise, but Gui Tuo residing here feels no discomfort at all.

Therefore, Ye Guichen doesn't worry about Gui Tuo's consciousness fading or dying due to a lack of yin energy.

As for Luo Shentong, Ye Guichen had no time to deal with him, instructing Hua Xiangrong to release him. If Luo Shentong wants to stay in Ghost Market, he can; if not, he can leave.

Soon, after arranging matters in Ghost Market, Ye Guichen left with Gongyang Lang.

Gongyang Lang, a Qi Refiner, capable of defeating someone like Jitian with ease, was a significant asset by his side.

Regarding Yan King, Feng Yuanshan would naturally report back.

Ye Guichen didn't worry about Yan King playing tricks.

What concerned Ye Guichen most was the Devil Snake at the bottom of the lake.

Not only is the Devil Snake highly skilled, but its origins are unknown, and if it goes berserk, Ghost Market could face devastation.

Fortunately, the Devil Snake has not made any excessive moves thus far.

But Ye Guichen couldn't concern himself with that now.

"Jin Ling, did they capture my master and Ziran just to lure me out?" On the way, Ye Guichen's brow remained furrowed. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Jin Ling nodded: "Yes, the Hidden Sect Chen Family is deep within Xianju Mountain, but Lord Military God said it's definitely not just the Hidden Sect Chen Family behind this; other countries' forces are likely involved, aiming to eradicate you before your prime."

"They want to eradicate me?" Ye Guichen sneered: "Well, let's see if they have the capability."

Ye Guichen found it amusing.

Seeing the killing intent in Ye Guichen's eyes, Jin Ling warily glanced at Gongyang Lang beside him, who looked like a scholar, and softly said: "Ye Guichen, don't be too confident. The Hidden Chen Family might not be scary; even if they're strong, they only have Innate experts at best, no Qi Refiners. But if other forces are indeed involved, we must be cautious. You know, Lord Military God values you highly; no matter what, you can't recklessly take risks or allow anything unexpected to happen."

"In the future, with you here, the Martial Arts World of Hua Country can certainly advance to the next level."

Ye Guichen glanced at Jin Ling: "Ha, you're worried something might happen to me?"

"I-I'm worried about you!" Jin Ling turned her head: "It's what Lord Military God instructed; if something happens, how can I face him?"

"Someone's practically defecating on my head, and you ask me to be cautious, haha, if that's the case, I shouldn't even call myself Ye Guichen." Ye Guichen didn't want to argue with Jin Ling anymore, turning to Gongyang Lang: "How much do you know about the Hidden Chen Family?"

Having lived in the secular world before, Gongyang Lang, belonging to the hidden sect, should have some understanding of the Hidden Chen Family.

Gongyang Lang thought for a moment: "I've heard of the Hidden Chen Family; their strongest ancestor is only at the sixth Innate level, essentially a Great Grandmaster, as you'd call it. But in my eyes, it's nothing significant. Hehe, amongst the hidden sect families, this Chen Family might rank at the bottom."

Jin Ling's mouth twitched upon hearing this.

That's easy for you to say.

Any hidden sect family is incredibly strong.

Yet in his mouth, they seem like small fry.

But upon reconsidering, Jin Ling accepted it.

No help for it, Gongyang Lang is a Qi Refiner, probably capable of easily defeating the entire Hidden Chen Family; he naturally has the right to speak that way.
