My Silly, Sweet Wife

Chapter 1429 - 1351: Dugu Yue

"Yang Buxiu, from what you’re saying, that path leading underground is right inside this main hall?" Ye Guichen became interested.

This kind of good thing, he naturally couldn’t miss.

Although the Jiuyou Tower had absorbed quite a lot of yin energy this time, it still didn’t seem easy to advance.

Ever since he’d successfully cultivated the Xuanming Prison Suppressing Technique back then and refined the Jiuyou Tower, Ye Guichen had discovered that cultivating the Xuanming Prison Suppressing Technique was becoming harder and harder.

Wanting to rise by just one level was as hard as ascending to the heavens.

This time he’d spent three days devouring endless yin energy, but the result?

Still stuck at the brink of a breakthrough.

It was as if the Jiuyou Tower was a bottomless abyss, endlessly greedy.

To Ye Guichen, the Jiuyou Tower was like a self-contained world.

He still didn’t know why cultivating the Xuanming Prison Suppressing Technique could give birth to the Jiuyou Tower, nor what connection this Jiuyou Tower had with the Yinming Ghosts.

But right now, Ye Guichen only wanted to complete his cultivation as soon as possible.

He believed that once the Xuanming Prison Suppressing Technique reached perfection, the Jiuyou Tower would also be able to unleash its true power.

By then, maybe a single tower could cover an entire stretch of heaven and earth.

Or rather, one tower, one world.

"Senior, yes, yes, but that place is far too dangerous. However, if Senior wants me to lead the way, I, Yang Buxiu, will do so without hesitation." Yang Buxiu patted his chest in guarantee.

Ye Guichen didn’t care what Yang Buxiu was scheming, he waved his hand. "Since that’s the case, then the others are useless."

"Woof!"

Hearing Ye Guichen’s words, Little Black stood up at once, licked its lips, and stared greedily at those people of the Yin Ghost Sect.

Seeing this, those Yin Ghost Sect people were so terrified they directly prostrated on the ground one after another. "We’re willing to lead the way too."

"Please don’t eat us, we’re willing to lead the way!"

"Yes yes yes, Senior spare us, Senior spare our lives!"

Although going three hundred meters down would also get them killed, that was only a possibility.

What if they didn’t die? It was still better than getting eaten by a dog here, right?

A dozen or so Yin Ghost Sect people kept begging for mercy.

Ye Guichen smiled to himself. "Alright, since that’s the case, then you’ll lead the way. If anyone dares play any tricks, I’ll make it so he can’t live and can’t die."

Ye Guichen felt that whatever ghost den was underground, it definitely wouldn’t be simple.

This Yang Buxiu was certainly hiding something from him too.

However, Ye Guichen wasn’t worried about Yang Buxiu playing tricks.

With his current strength, Ye Guichen felt that even if he just stood there and let Yang Buxiu do his worst, the guy would still find it hard to kill him.

Of course, Ye Guichen wasn’t stupid enough to actually be that cocky.

Yang Buxiu not being able to kill him didn’t mean there was nothing down below that could.

So for now, to be safe, it was better to have these Yin Ghost Sect people lead the way.

Anyway, none of these bastards were good people. They usually used Yin Souls as guides for cultivation and had done plenty of killing and looting.

If they hadn’t run into him, those hundred thousand soldiers would probably all have died.

Not killing them was already him being merciful.

Ye Guichen propped up his chin, secretly nodded, and muttered, "Sigh, I’m still too soft-hearted. Fine, since you’ve all begged to this extent, then you can lead the way."

The corners of the Yin Ghost Sect crowd’s mouths twitched violently at his words.

If they weren’t no match for Ye Guichen, they really wanted to fight him to the death.

But they had no choice; Ye Guichen was too monstrous.

Their Sect Master didn’t even have the strength to fight back in front of Ye Guichen.

As for them, unless they’d really lived enough.

Not to mention he also had a black dog specifically restraining them, plus two soul bodies that looked like they were eyeing them like prey.

Damn it, why did it feel like this was tailor-made to counter their Yin Ghost Sect?

No more nonsense.

Ye Guichen had Yang Buxiu lead the Yin Ghost Sect disciples ahead.

Yang Buxiu didn’t dawdle either; he directly moved that stone chair aside.

Under the stone chair, a deep tunnel actually appeared.

"Senior, this passage was dug by our Yin Ghost Sect back in the day. But later, when we couldn’t go any deeper, we hid it away. Only the Sect Master and I know the truth; the others don’t know anything."

As if to emphasize his own value, Yang Buxiu specially added, "Right, as for the situation below, I’m the only one left who knows."

"Enough, hurry up and lead the way." Ye Guichen had no interest in listening to Yang Buxiu’s rambling.

Still, Ye Guichen kept his guard up.

Since it was dangerous down there, he naturally wouldn’t pin all his hopes on Yang Buxiu.

He quietly released over a dozen Remnant Souls from the Jiuyou Tower, letting them go down first to scout the path.

As the Jiuyou Tower improved, those remaining Remnant Souls seemed to have had their cultivation increase quite a bit. Not only that, their incomplete souls also seemed to be starting to transform.

In the past, these Remnant Souls had absolutely no will of their own. Ye Guichen could give them orders, but they were just like puppets.

Now it was different.

After Ye Guichen gave his orders, they could infer and act accordingly.

For example, when Ye Guichen told them to kill someone, they wouldn’t just kill the person, they’d also take the head off. And if the target had any treasure on him, they’d conveniently bring it back for Ye Guichen.

In the past, when Ye Guichen ordered them to kill, they only knew how to kill.

As for anything else, they did nothing.

Unfortunately, after all the trouble during this period, the number of Remnant Souls in the Jiuyou Tower had dropped a lot.

The earth-type Remnant Souls he’d gathered back at Three Harmonies Valley were now less than a tenth or a fifth of what they’d been; all together there were only a bit over a hundred left.

From the bottom of his heart, Ye Guichen really didn’t want them to suffer any losses.
