My Silly, Sweet Wife

Ye Guichen heard this and couldn't help but sneer internally.

How could he not understand King Qi's intentions?

Protect him?

Protect, my foot!

This is just a trick to lure him in and then take him hostage.

Heh, what a clever scheme.

Seeing Ye Guichen hesitate, seemingly showing interest, the Great Elder and others quickly became anxious.

If Ye Guichen really went to see King Qi, who knows if he could return. Without him, their Dan God Sect would lose its support and be devoured by King Qin to the bone.

"Young Master, absolutely not!"

"King Qi has malicious intentions, you must not go."

"Right now, the Qin soldiers are pressing at the border. If you leave rashly, they will surely hunt you down."

"Young Master, please think it over!"

Several elders were so frightened that they quickly knelt down, fearing Ye Guichen would agree.

Ye Guichen waved his hand, "There's no need to worry, I know what I'm doing."

Then, he looked at Wenren Sangmu: "Heh, I don't want to talk about past events anymore. Since King Qi is loyal, I might as well give him a chance."

Upon hearing this, Wenren Sangmu quickly raised his head: "Young Master, please instruct!"

"With the Qin soldiers eyeing us covetously outside, and the Three Harmonies Valley not far away, I've faced General Bai Qi before. You can send word for General Bai Qi to bring troops and slay the Qin soldiers."

Upon hearing this, the elders secretly gave Ye Guichen a thumbs-up in their hearts.

Ye Guichen's move was ruthless.

This was directly giving King Qi a warning.

If King Qi doesn't send people, the lie of protecting the Son of Nether Emperor will collapse on its own.

But if they do send people, it's merely a battle of tigers and dragons. Their Dan God Sect can naturally sit back and watch the fight, which feels utterly satisfying.

The elders' respect for Ye Guichen grew stronger.

Wenren Sangmu, however, was twitching at the corners of his mouth, looking troubled: "Young Master, I'm merely a Qi King's envoy. The Three Harmonies Valley doesn't obey my commands. If I send a message to King Qi now, by the time the order comes down, it will be too late. Young Master, with the Qin soldiers watching closely, your safety is paramount. I suggest that the experts of Dan God Sect escort you away swiftly. Once we reach Three Harmonies Valley, with General Bai Qi's protection, it won't take long before you can see King Qi and be without any security concerns."

This remark was grandiose.

But in essence, he implied that it was unlikely King Qi would send troops to fight the Qin soldiers.

Ye Guichen no longer concealed the mockery on his face: "Wenren Sangmu, if that's the case, then today I'll take you to watch a show. Heh, my safety doesn't need your King Qi's concern. However, I do want to suggest to your King Qi that he should be a little more careful with his own safety."

With that, Ye Guichen stood up and nodded at the Great Elder: "Great Elder, let's go meet those Qin soldiers now, to see if they're stronger than Hu Lu."

The implication was, if I could kill Hu Lu, these Qin soldiers are no problem.

Seeing this, Wenren Sangmu hurriedly tried to dissuade: "Young Master, don't be reckless, your safety is what's most important right now!"

"Someone, tie him up and take him out for a look!" Ye Guichen wouldn't bother with the hypocritical Wenren Sangmu and directly gave the order.

Wenren Sangmu didn't expect Ye Guichen to suddenly make a move and have him tied up, and he was taken aback, "Young Master, what does this mean?"

The attendants by his side immediately drew their swords and stood in front of Wenren Sangmu.

Ye Guichen said coldly: "What, you recognize me as the Young Master, and when I bind you, you still want to make a move?"

Then, with a palm strike, he sent a Qi Refinement fourth-level expert flying.

The expert flew out, spat a mouthful of blood, crawled a bit, and then fell heavily, passing out cold.

Wenren Sangmu was filled with fear.

He didn't expect this Son of Nether Emperor to be even more formidable than the legends.

To slap a Qi Refinement fourth-level expert into unconsciousness, such skill proved the rumors true.

Could it be that he really has the means to kill Hu Lu?

If that's true, it seems King Qi needs to re-evaluate Ye Guichen's value.

"I dare not, I dare not!" After hesitating for just a moment, Wenren Sangmu quickly knelt and put his hands behind him, allowing Dan God Sect's people to tie him up.

A group of people arrived outside the mountain gate.

Outside, a massive force of thirty thousand Qin soldiers was stationed.

This time, there were thirty times more than Hu Lu had brought previously.

Not only were there experts at the Qi Refinement eighth-level like Hu Lu, but ten or more experts above the Qi Refinement fifth-level were present as well.

They didn't attack rashly but were glaring menacingly at Dan God Sect, seemingly applying pressure.

Seeing a group of people surround Ye Guichen as he came out,

finally, someone stepped out from the Qin soldiers.

That person wore blue armor, with a Qi Refinement sixth-level cultivation.

He shouted at the Great Elder and others: "Hear me, people of Dan God Sect, hand over the fake Son of Nether Emperor, and we shall spare your lives. Otherwise, today will be the day Dan God Sect runs with blood."

"What nonsense!"

"What fake Son of Nether Emperor, he's clearly real!"

"Tell King Qin to get lost!"

"Damn, you think you can just take our Young Master, dream on!"

Having witnessed Ye Guichen's prowess before, many disciples were now naturally impressed and convinced by him.

Seeing the Qin soldiers dare to slander Ye Guichen, they naturally wouldn't let it go.

After a round of cursing, Ye Guichen stepped forward and looked down at the armored lieutenant: "Twenty-three years ago, King Qin caused chaos and killed the Netherworld Emperor. Now, twenty-three years have passed, and he has always coveted the position of the Netherworld Emperor. But fate doesn't favor him, for I, Ye Guichen, have returned."

"This time, I have returned to take his head, to pay homage to the souls of the entire clan of the Netherworld Emperor, for them to see, what end awaits King Qin!"

"Today, let me advise you, if you surrender and join me, I will ensure wealth and glory. But if you persist in aiding an evil-doer, then sorry, today will be the day you meet your end!"

"Haha, what an arrogant kid!"

"Dare to impersonate the Son of Nether Emperor, and still want us dead?"

"You haven't realized the real problem, have you? This time, King Qin is determined to kill you. Can you, with your little Dan God Sect, really compete with us? You're simply overestimating yourself!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The lieutenant raised his hand, and the Qin soldiers behind raised their weapons, shouting fiercely.

Their roar was deafening, making one's courage falter.

This group of thirty thousand was clearly far more formidable than the thousand men Hu Lu had brought before.

Amidst the enemy's shouts, many involuntarily took two steps back, feeling a chill rising within.

Even Wenren Sangmu furrowed his brows, contemplating a strategy.

If Ye Guichen were truly killed today, King Qin would seize the opportunity to take down Dan God Sect. After that, he'd target their King Qi, and with only Bai Qi's few thousand men, they likely couldn't fend them off.

Plus, under today's circumstances, Ye Guichen stands no chance of victory.

His arrogance might very well bury the entire Dan God Sect.
