My Silly, Sweet Wife-Chapter 997: Such Petty Tricks Need Not Be Guarded Against

"Mr. Donglang, didn't you come to seek our cooperation? From now on, we are like family, and naturally, we should stand together in times like this."

Elder An Long grabbed Donglang Shangjing and dragged him out from hiding.

To prevent Donglang Shangjing from plotting something, An Long had already searched him thoroughly. Now Donglang Shangjing had no means to harm anyone unless he had weapons hidden in his body.

Donglang Shangjing suddenly regretted coming to Great Cold Mountain, but now there was no choice, and he stepped out hesitantly.

Upon seeing An Long, Yang Hongfu's eyes reddened: "So it was you after all!"

An Long burst into laughter: "Master Yang, we have known each other for some time. Do you really hate me that much? My previous offer still stands, and this Brother Ye seems quite capable. If you join our Witch God Sect and help us serve the Eternal Life Hall, I assure you wealth and glory. What do you say?"

An Long was playing the emotional card. The snakes and insects had already gathered one meter away from Ye Guichen and Yang Hongfu, seemingly waiting for An Long's command.

As soon as An Long gave the order, the snakes and insects would attack. It seemed that in the blink of an eye, they could kill Ye Guichen and Yang Hongfu.

Yang Hongfu knew that their previous escape was sheer luck. Now that An Long was prepared, escaping again won't be easy. Without killing these snakes and insects, it seemed hard to escape this calamity today.

"Did you promise the same thing to the Twelve Grand Protectors back then, and when they disagreed, you killed him?" Yang Hongfu said with a tone of iron.

An Long shook his head: "Master Yang, you misunderstand us. Huang Fuqi was a subordinate of Lord Military God, and we wouldn't dare offend him. However, his physique was too unique and too suitable for creating a Gu Liangren, so we couldn't resist the temptation and turned him into one. Of course, Lord Military God probably still doesn't know. If he did, he'd likely send troops to level Great Cold Mountain."

"What, aren't you afraid of Military God Chu Tiannan?" Yang Hongfu was puzzled as An Long seemed unafraid of Chu Tiannan.

An Long replied confidently: "Afraid, of course, we are. If it were just our Witch God Sect, we wouldn't dare provoke Chu Tiannan. But now, our Witch God Sect has allied with the Eternal Life Hall, whose Hall Master is the Son of the Hidden Sect Netherworld Emperor. With him around, what's a mere Chu Tiannan?" 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"What, the Son of the Netherworld Emperor?" Yang Hongfu was startled: "The legendary person from the Hidden Sect?"

"Yes, Master Yang, that's why I'm inviting you to join our Witch God Sect. You should know the power of the Hidden Sect is beyond our imagination. Although the Netherworld Emperor is dead, as long as his son is around, he will unify the Hidden Sect sooner or later. By then, our Witch God Hall will rise as well, and every one of us can achieve eternal life. Who can resist such a temptation?"

An Long coaxed: "In life, it's all about fame and fortune, and all this is based on the foundation of eternal life. The Eternal Life Hall has pursued the Path of Eternal Life for a thousand years, and with the Son of the Netherworld Emperor emerging, they are not far from the true Path of Eternal Life. Compared to the Son of the Netherworld Emperor, what's a mere Chu Tiannan? Hehe, Master Yang, I know you are a disciple of Zhang Chonglou, and you uphold justice, but sometimes you need to weigh your capabilities."

"I must say, your previous escape was sheer luck. But now, this is my territory, and there's no way you can escape. Just one thought from me, and you will turn into bones. Is it worth sacrificing for the justice that's irrelevant to you?"

"Master Yang, I admire your talent, and that's why I've told you so much. If you're willing, I'll recommend you to the Sect Hierarch. By then, becoming an elder will be as easy as pie for you!"

"Nonsense!" Yang Hongfu was so furious at An Long's confident words that, without waiting for further nonsense, he threw out the talisman paper.

The talisman paper, imbued with powder to kill the snakes and worms, exploded in front of them.

This time, it managed to kill quite a few snakes and worms.

However, these snakes and worms, under An Long's control, seemed unafraid of death. As soon as the encirclement showed a gap, they filled it in the blink of an eye.

An Long, seeing Yang Hongfu daring to resist, sneered: "It seems you still insist on your ways. In that case, let me show you the power of my Gu Poison Technique first!"

With that, An Long waved his hand, and a red mist spread around them.

Within seconds, the red mist enveloped an area with a radius of two miles.

Yang Hongfu's expression changed: "Damn, poison gas!"

Though he had some anti-poison items, which were effective against ordinary poisonous insects and plants, this red mist was clearly a poison An Long had meticulously prepared. Just inhaling a tiny bit had Yang Hongfu's face flushed, and his body felt drained.

At the same time, the snakes and worms pounced on Yang Hongfu and Ye Guichen.

Relying on his strong perception, Yang Hongfu managed to repel the snakes and worms, but as he fought, his blood churned, and he felt his body increasingly out of control.

"Haha, don't waste your effort. This poison gas is extracted from over a thousand venomous substances, enough to render even an elephant powerless. If you change your mind and beg for mercy now, kneel down, and perhaps there's still a chance to live. What do you say?"

An Long watched as Yang Hongfu's speed slowed, his face filled with growing smugness.

However, from start to finish, Ye Guichen neither spoke nor acted, sitting there eating meat as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.

"Brother Ye, you should go, go quickly!" Yang Hongfu felt he couldn't hold on much longer.

With his skills, he could handle someone like An Long in a one-on-one fight; Yang Hongfu could even deal with three or four An Longs.

However, against these poisons, Yang Hongfu clearly wasn't a match.

Ye Guichen glanced up at Yang Hongfu: "Master Yang, you being the top disciple of that old fellow Zhang Chonglou, yet you're so easy to defeat!"

Yang Hongfu stumbled, surprised that in such a moment, Ye Guichen would mock him. His face flushed as he replied: "Brother Ye, it's not about being the top disciple; the opponent's methods are endless and hard to guard against!"

"Hard to guard against?" Ye Guichen sneered: "What need is there to guard against such trifling tricks?"

Saying that, he slowly stood up, still holding the scorched bear paw, and walked towards An Long.

An Long was stunned.

He was shocked to realize that Ye Guichen seemed unaffected by his poisonous gas.

What terrified An Long even more was that with every step Ye Guichen took, the snakes and worms retreated as if they had encountered something frightening.
