My Silly, Sweet Wife

Chapter 1291 - 1271: Everyone's Confusion

"What do I intend to do? Ye Guichen, you tell me what I intend to do?" King Qi was supremely smug, feeling as if he had everything under his control.

"Alright then, since you're asking for my thoughts, you should kneel now and become my servant. Not only must you dedicate yourself to me, but all your cultivation techniques and even yourself must belong to me from now on."

Originally, King Qi wanted Ye Guichen's life.

But after seeing Ye Guichen's ability to kill Yan Fang, he had a change of heart.

Although he now had the means of the fifth level of Foundation Establishment, it could only last for seven days.

After seven days, he would still be a Qi Refiner.

By then, if he could fully subjugate Ye Guichen, and then leverage the title of Son of the Nether Emperor, becoming the new Nether Emperor would be a piece of cake.

So now, King Qi actually hoped that Ye Guichen would not die.

"Ye, don't listen to him, I'd rather die than yield!" Upon hearing the conversation between the two, even someone as naïve as Nolan Qingqing understood.

She realized she had been kidnapped and used as a tool to threaten Ye Guichen.

Though she addressed Ye Guichen as her junior brother, in Nolan Qingqing's heart, Ye Guichen was not just her junior but family.

Because Ye Guichen gave her confidence.

Gave her a different life.

After shouting, Nolan Qingqing resolutely said, "Don't worry, I won't blame you!"

King Qi clapped his hands and laughed, "Haha, who would have thought, really, who would have thought! Didn't expect this girl to be such a lovesick fool?"

"Alright, since that's the case, I'll first scar her face, and we'll see if you're really that bold."

Saying this, King Qi took out a dagger and waved it twice by Nolan Qingqing's face.

Nolan Qingqing didn't want to become ugly, so she closed her eyes and screamed in terror.

Many were moved by this scene.

Apart from the fact that Ye Guichen might be related to those living dead, King Qi's behavior was utterly despicable.

He was using someone else to deal with Ye Guichen.

Despicable!

When they heard Yan Fang was coming to challenge Ye Guichen, many came to watch, not only King Qi's people but also many forces from the martial world.

These forces had no bias, they just wanted to prove if the Son of the Nether Emperor was worthy of their following.

Seeing King Qi's actions, Ye Guichen clenched his fists and shouted loudly, "Stop it!"

Then, with a gloomy look, he said, "You're Qi Yinglong, right? Haha, so today you're determined to kill me. You've arranged for Master Yan, and now for my senior sister, I see it clearly now, you're actually panicking, you're afraid to confront me head on, right?"

Ye Guichen had no other choice now but to try and provoke King Qi.

Unexpectedly, King Qi didn't fall for it: "Haha, kid, are you being too conceited? Do you think a few words can trick me? I am King Qi, destined to be the Nether Emperor, would I stoop to your level? Fine, since you refuse to obey, you can watch as your senior sister becomes disfigured."

Rip!

King Qi violently slashed with the dagger, leaving a scar on Nolan Qingqing's face.

Nolan Qingqing screamed, tears rolling down.

"Despicable!"

"What King Qi, turns out to be a despicable, shameless villain!"

"Let her go!"

"Exactly, if you have the guts, fight fairly, what's the use of such underhanded means?"

"Now I'm beginning to doubt whether those living dead are related to the Son of the Nether Emperor, or is it you despicable people instigating from behind."

The crowd began shouting.

Clearly, Ye Guichen was upright and honest, but King Qi's behavior was evident to all.

King Qi did not expect these martial world people to say such words, to dare belittle him, and his face darkened immediately, "You all want to die, right? Fine, since that's the case, I'll fulfill your wish!"

He moved suddenly, starting the fight.

In the sky, he struck down with a palm.

Like a massive handprint descending from the heavens, it instantly killed several bystanders.

The bystanders scattered immediately.

Each glaring at King Qi angrily.

They never thought King Qi would be so formidable.

"Men, if anyone dares to say a bad word about this king today, kill without mercy!" King Qi waved his hand.

Qi soldiers surrounded them.

Though there were thousands of bystanders, even a few experts among them, they were here to watch and not organized.

Nonetheless, King Qi's soldiers numbered in the tens of thousands and were pre-arranged by King Qi.

Although most were only in the Innate Realm, not even Qi Refiners, a lone tiger couldn't fight a pack of wolves.

If it truly escalated, no one could benefit against King Qi.

Everyone remained silent.

Ye Guichen, however, noticed something and suddenly spoke up, "Qi Yinglong, could those living dead have something to do with you? Haha, as far as I know, although you also practice, your cultivation isn't this high. That palm strike just now, you must have reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, right? I've never heard you reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, could it be you absorbed those living dead's Yin Souls to enhance yourself?"

Ye Guichen's speculation was logical and well-founded.

This world indeed had many dark and ghostly cultivators.

When Ye Guichen inspected those living dead, he found their souls were incomplete.

Although this was the key reason those living dead lost self-awareness, Ye Guichen made another discovery - that the incomplete souls seemed to be the key to summoning remaining souls.

In other words, if these living dead truly died, their souls might be summoned away by the incomplete souls.

Moreover, Ye Guichen noticed the corpses of the living dead he killed inexplicably vanished later on.

All these bizarre signs indicated that someone might be using the living dead to forge some cultivation technique.

The power King Qi demonstrated with that palm just now was too strong, something a normal Qi Refiner couldn't achieve.

Could a king have such talent?

Absolutely impossible!

If King Qi had such skills before, he wouldn't have stooped under King Qin.

Over the years, he would have eagerly controlled the Seven Kings, become the leader of the Seven Kings, and become the new Nether Emperor.

The occurrence of these events was overly coincidental.

King Qi's power might truly have a significant connection with the living dead.

After hearing Ye Guichen's words, many spectators suddenly realized.

"Indeed, as I know, King Qi's cultivation was only the fifth level of Qi Refinement, the highest among the Seven Kings."

"How could he suddenly become so powerful? If there's no foul play, I don't believe it!"

"Could King Qi truly be related to those living dead? Is he, Qi Yinglong, the mastermind behind all of this?"

The crowd instantly grew furious, their eyes fixated on King Qi.

At such a moment, they inexplicably felt a sense of violation.

Though King Qi's influence was immense, they believed those Qi soldiers weren't foolish. If they knew King Qi was a hypocritical figure, they wouldn't act against them.
