My Silly, Sweet Wife-Chapter 970: The Mad Elder

"Yimu Everlasting Technique?" The voice inside the cave finally showed a hint of panic: "You, you just used two magic techniques, one is the Xuanming Prison Suppressing Technique, and the other is the Yimu Everlasting Technique? Who, who exactly are you? What is your relationship with that old thing Su Mu? Or, what's your relation with the Esoteric Sect? Or perhaps, do you have any connection with the Netherworld Emperor?"

The voice trembled more and more violently, as if hoping that Ye Guichen would answer quickly with every question.

Upon hearing this, Ye Guichen was taken aback, not expecting that the other party not only recognized his cultivation technique but also mentioned the Esoteric Sect and the Netherworld Emperor.

"Retreat for me!"

Ye Guichen did not answer, but waved his hand once more.

The small grasses immediately resembled thorns, starting an active attack, spreading towards the cave.

The poisonous insects all retreated swiftly, seemingly very afraid of those small grasses.

There was no helping it; Ye Guichen himself was immune to all poisons, and although the Yimu Everlasting Technique was only at the first level, the plants that grew after merging with his mysterious energy were already connected to Ye Guichen's aura.

As long as those small grasses touched them, the poisonous insects had nowhere to hide.

The red poisonous insects came quickly and also left quickly.

Guan Renwang and his companions were completely shocked.

They originally thought something even more terrifying would happen.

However, the pitch-black cave became extremely quiet.

After a long while, a sudden light appeared.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that somehow countless fireflies had appeared, grouped in threes and fives illuminating the entire cave.

Under the light, there was a wheelchair with an elderly man sitting on it.

The old man was as thin as a withered stick, his eyes tightly closed, as if sewn shut by something, riddled with scars, clearly blind.

"Who, who are you?" Guan Renwang almost wet himself in fright upon seeing the old man.

Because, besides the old man's terrifying appearance, there were a countless number of poisonous snakes and red insects circling around him.

Those insects and snakes densely surrounded the old man, like pets, occasionally looking up at Ye Guichen and the others, without any intent to attack.

"Go!" The old man's lips moved slightly, uttering one word.

The insects and snakes immediately lifted the wheelchair, moving step by step towards Ye Guichen and the others.

"This, this..." Guan Renwang and his group, although domineering in the wilderness and strong in martial arts, had never seen such mysterious events.

Snakes lifting a wheelchair, this was something out of a fantasy tale, wasn't it?

Guan Renwang and his group stood tightly behind Ye Guichen, not daring to move.

Now they understood, that if it weren't for Ye Guichen, they would have long met their demise.

The insects and snakes carried the wheelchair to about five steps away from Ye Guichen and then gently put it down.

The old man raised his head and looked at Ye Guichen with blind eyes, once again saying: "I asked you earlier, and you haven't answered yet."

"What answer do you want to hear?" Ye Guichen was not impatient, instead, he smiled and said: "Looking at you, if I'm not mistaken, you were betrayed and hid here, weren't you?"

"Betrayed?" The old man's body lightly trembled: "Haha, betrayed? Once, I, the Great Ming King, was the leading general under the Netherworld Emperor. If it wasn't for protecting the Netherworld Emperor, how could I have been gravely injured, had my legs chopped off, and my eyes gouged out? Haha, if I hadn't been careless, how could those traitors have succeeded!"

"Tell me, how did you cultivate the Xuanming Prison Suppressing Technique and the Yimu Everlasting Technique? You are indeed impressive, making me regard you with renewed respect! However, if you don't tell me, today, I shall blast you to death here, never to let you leave!"

The old man laughed maniacally while speaking, holding a wad of talisman papers in his hand.

Though unsure what those talisman papers were, Ye Guichen could feel that if they were thrown out, the surrounding dozens of miles might turn into ruins.

Ye Guichen sighed: "Are you one of the Netherworld Emperor's men?"

"I didn't ask you to question me. Just answer!" The old man suddenly threw a piece of talisman paper.

BAM!

Like a grenade, it exploded at the mouth of the cave.

"Damn, Thunder Talisman! This, this is a Thunder Talisman from Leiyin Temple! Oh my god, this is a Thunder Talisman from Leiyin Temple!" Guan Renwang was so excited that he became incoherent.

This kind of talisman was too mystical. Guan Renwang had only heard of it, never seen it.

Unexpectedly, this old man actually had a wad of Thunder Talismans in his hand.

The old man apparently didn't expect Guan Renwang to shout out the name of the Thunder Talisman. He laughed maniacally: "Leiyin Temple? Haha, what is Leiyin Temple! The Thunder Talismans they practice with were all taught by me. Without me, what Leiyin Temple would there be? Once, that shaven monk accidentally entered here. If I hadn't known he was from Leiyin Temple, I would have killed him long ago. However, I ultimately didn't act and had him frequently bring me food. Oh yes, he seems to be known as Hua Heshang nowadays and pays me tribute with a great deal of gold and silver treasures."

"Haha, once I've accumulated enough gold and silver treasures, I shall rise again, utilizing the power of the entire world to find the Young Master. As long as I find the Young Master, I can avenge the Netherworld Emperor, slay those ignorant scoundrels, and kill them all!"

The old man rambled on, although somewhat incoherently, his words carried an endless hatred.

Guan Renwang was terrified, afraid that if the old man accidentally dropped a Thunder Talisman, they would all be blown to pieces.

However, from the old man's incoherent speech, Ye Guichen discerned a hint of a clue.

This old man seemed to have been one of the ten kings under the Hidden Sect Netherworld Emperor, the Great Ming King, but later, the Netherworld Emperor was betrayed, and chaos ensued. It was to protect the Netherworld Emperor that he ended up in this state.

Clenching his fist slightly, Ye Guichen felt inexplicably excited.

Regarding the Netherworld Emperor's affairs, Ye Guichen always knew very little, but after years of investigation, combined with the Book of Life and Death and the Seven-colored Lotus Jade, Ye Guichen vaguely felt that he might have some connection, more or less, with the Netherworld Emperor or the Hidden Sect.

Unexpectedly, he would encounter one of the ten kings that struck terror into hearts here.

"Do you know about the Book of Life and Death?" Ye Guichen restrained his excitement and said this sentence, staring fiercely at the old man.

The old man's body, initially trembling from madness, suddenly seemed as if some acupoint had been pressed, abruptly raised his head, as if able to see Ye Guichen: "How do you know about the Book of Life and Death? Could it be, was your Xuanming Prison Suppressing Technique learned from the Book of Life and Death in the hands of the Netherworld Emperor?"

"That's right." Ye Guichen nodded slightly: "I now have the Book of Life and Death in my possession."

"You, you really used the Xuanming Prison Suppressing Technique? How old are you?" The old man suddenly moved forward, grabbing Ye Guichen's hand, and started tremblingly to feel it.

Ye Guichen did not resist, allowing the old man to touch his arm.

After just a moment, the old man seemed to have guessed the age from feeling Ye Guichen's bones, tears began streaming from his blind eyes.

"This, how is this possible?"

"How is this possible?"

"Am I dreaming?"

"Oh heavens, could this be real?"

Over and over, like a nightmare.
