My Silly, Sweet Wife-Chapter 1195: Falling Immortal River, Commander Wu Sheng
"Senior Ren, why are these bridges divided into seven?" Ye Guichen couldn't help his curiosity and asked.
Ye Guichen's reaction greatly satisfied Ren Wobai. π³ππ²ππ¨ππ―πππ§ππΉ.π°πΌπ
Moreover, Ye Guichen's reaction was quite normal.
These seven bridges, like a celestial river, were indeed overwhelming, such grand scenery is rarely seen in ordinary life.
Hence, Ren Wobai patiently explained, "It's said that this river is called Falling Immortal River, formed when an immortal slashed down during combat. Originally, there was only one chain, but then an immortal cut it with six more strikes, splitting it into seven. Ever since the turmoil within the Hidden Sect, these seven bridges have been under control of the Hidden Sect Seven Kings, access must be granted by them."
Ren Wobai pointed to the second celestial bridge on the left, "That one belongs to Yan King. Our Dan Sect, although not afraid of the Seven Kings, prefers not to involve deeply, and Yan King is the weakest among them, so he is the easiest to talk to. Therefore, we usually choose his path when entering or exiting the Hidden Sect."
Ye Guichen repeatedly nodded and clasped his hands, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Ren."
Ren Wobai was pleased with Ye Guichen's attitude, chuckling, "Ye Sheng, from now on we are like family, no need for all the 'Senior' talk. Just call me Brother Ren."
Ye Guichen was taken aback.
Wasn't this already said?
But quickly, Ye Guichen understood.
Previously, it was said privately, calling him Brother Ren was just between them.
Now, Ren Wobai said it in front of his subordinates to show others that he had a good relationship with Ye Sheng so that the members of the Dan Sect would not trouble his friend.
Ye Guichen didn't quite understand why Ren Wobai changed his approach, initially wanting to decline, but realizing that refusing upfront might make him seem petty.
"Then I'll take your kind offer, Brother Ren!"
"Haha, good brother!" Ren Wobai was in high spirits, pointing to several of his followers, "Come, let me formally introduce you."
Ren Wobai went to Penglai Island with four followers, including the person previously stopped at the Ghost Market.
All four were now gathered, but Ren Wobai had never introduced them to anyone before, not even to the four major Dan Sects.
Perhaps he didn't think it necessary.
Or maybe he was just too lazy to introduce.
Ye Guichen couldn't figure it out, so he stopped trying.
But this time, Ren Wobai introduced the four to Ye Guichen, clearly wanting Ye Guichen to establish good relations with them.
Ye Guichen promptly put on a listening demeanor.
Ren Wobai said from left to right, "They are all disciples from the Law Enforcement Hall of the Hidden Sect Dan Sect, which is outside called the Dan God Sect, but we have a name, Dan God Sect. Although our sect isn't large within the Hidden Sect, it's a dignified alchemy sect with over ten thousand disciples."
"Over ten thousand people..." Ye Guichen played along, expressing surprise.
Ren Wobai nodded, continuing, "These four Law Enforcement Hall disciples are named Lu Yi, Lu Er, Lu San, and Lu Si; they are four brothers. Did you notice how similar they look?"
With Ren Wobai's reminder, Ye Guichen indeed found them quite alike.
Ren Wobai said, "In the past, I had a good friendship with the four of them. Though they don't practice alchemy often, they frequently interacted with me, facilitating much for us. So if you need anything within the Dan God Sect in the future, you can rely on them."
The four brothers of the Lu Family didn't fully grasp Ren Wobai's intentions but nodded in agreement, "Since Steward Ren has said so, we will treat Brother Ye as a friend."
Ye Guichen was naturally very pleased, "Then I will look to the Lu brothers in the future."
After conversing for a while, they began crossing the celestial bridge.
The celestial bridge was long, out of sight, and there were few people at present.
Strangely, despite the raging waters, no wind blew across the bridge and it was very stable.
Following Ye Guichen and the group's pace, it took them nearly two hours to reach the other end of the bridge.
The view ahead was like a post.
The people inside were dressed in a traditional style.
Long blue robes with swords at their waists.
A large 'Yan' character was embroidered on their chest, clearly indicating they were Yan King's men.
Ren Wobai walked off the bridge, moved toward the Yan soldiers, handed over a porcelain bottle, with a smile, "Our Dan God Sect has taken in a disciple, please let us pass."
The soldiers weighed the bottle, realizing it contained useful pills, and smiled in return, "Thank you for your hard work, Steward Ren."
Then, they opened the gate to let them through.
However, as Ye Guichen's party left, the soldiers soon began debating.
"Boss, what's going on? Isn't it said that the Ghost Market was sealed off? How could they pass so easily?"
"Indeed, should we report this swiftly? I heard there was great commotion in the Ghost Market, even the Son of Nether Emperor appeared."
"Not just that, it seems people from all other six kings perished in the Ghost Market, even King Qin is furious, yet hasn't acted, likely wary of the others secretly intervening?"
"Hehe, it's wise for our Yan King to keep a low profile, not getting involved."
During the discussions, someone had already gone to report the matter.
Not far from the celestial bridge, there's a martial arts area.
Three thousand Yan soldiers were stationed there.
Currently, their commander was in a reception hall talking.
Coincidentally, his guest was Feng Yuanshan, who previously visited the Ghost Market.
"Mr. Feng, are you here under Yan King's order to fetch the Son of Nether Emperor from the Ghost Market?" The commander, named Wu Sheng, was at the fifth level of Qi Refinement.
Among Yan King's ranks, he was a middle-ranking expert.
Most Yan soldiers hadn't reached Qi Refiner, were merely Innate experts.
Feng Yuanshan had sworn allegiance after his encounter with Ye Guichen.
After Feng Yuanshan reported the meeting with Ye Guichen at the Ghost Market to Yan King, Yan King immediately sent him secretly to bring Ye Guichen back.
"Indeed, Yan King was ecstatic upon hearing about the Son of Nether Emperor, eagerly wishing to meet the Young Master," Feng Yuanshan nodded with a smile.
Wu Sheng cleared the room, leaned closer to Feng Yuanshan, and asked quietly, "Mr. Feng, we've known each other a while, and now with the turmoil among the Seven Kings, we all know Yan King is oppressed, the weakest party indeed. But does Yan King truly want to support this unknown Son of Nether Emperor?"
Feng Yuanshan paused, then smiled cryptically, "Commander Wu, what would you think?"
