My Silly, Sweet Wife

Chapter 1287 1270: King Qi's Scheme

The next day, Ye Guichen arrived at the place where he was scheduled to duel against Master Yan.

Originally, Ye Guichen wanted to come alone, but Mu Yang and Xuanyuan Canghai insisted on following him.

Ye Guichen had no choice but to let them stay close by.

After arriving at the designated place, Master Yan had already been waiting.

There were also many onlookers around.

Moreover, it appeared that everyone's cultivation level was not weak.

The outskirts of the duel area were tightly guarded by Qi soldiers, seemingly to prevent idle individuals from entering.

Seeing this scene, Xuanyuan Canghai also sensed something was amiss: "Young Master, why are there so many people here? And there are thousands of Qi soldiers, why would they appear here?"

If this were the Qi territory, it would be understandable.

But King Qi being so actively involved in such disputes always feels a bit unsettling.

The duel between the two had not yet begun, but the surrounding discussions were already boiling.

Especially after seeing Ye Guichen's age, many people's eyes were filled with disbelief.

"The Son of Nether Emperor looks to be only in his twenties, huh? He actually dared to come!"

"Hehe, he's here to die. I've heard Master Yan is a super expert from a third-rate sect, a Foundation Establishment Expert of the second level, killing that kid might be as easy as crushing an ant."

"Why would a strong person from a third-rate sect be involved in our side's fight?"

"They couldn't bear it anymore. That kid actually released living dead, which surely provoked anger and resentment?"

"Yes, I heard those living dead originated from Three Harmonies Valley and killed tens of thousands of civilians, truly unforgivable!"

"I once expected the return of the Son of Nether Emperor, but now I realize that they're the real flesh eaters who don't spit out bones."

"Back then, when the Nether Emperor ruled the Seven Kings' territories, now in retrospect, I feel King Qin calling for the Seven Kings is not treason, but rather for justice."

"Oh right, I also heard some news, saying King Qin has defected to King Qi, not sure if it's true."

"What? How could that be? Two kings allied, are the Seven Kings to reunite and support a new Nether Emperor?"

"Hehe, no matter what, the Seven Kings united, we might also have a fighting chance on our side. Back when the Nether Emperor was alive, although his territory wasn't large, it counted as a second-rate sect, but since his death, the Seven Kings divided, and we have completely declined."

"Yeah, if we can truly unite again, it wouldn't be such a bad thing."

"Alright, alright, today let's see how that wicked ghost Son of Nether Emperor dies? Humph, from what I know, he's merely a Qi Refiner, a mere Qi Refiner, today he's likely on a path to death!"

Meanwhile.

King Qi was also sitting atop a nearby high mountain, watching from afar.

Beside him was the already deposed King Qin.

"How about it, are you satisfied with today's show?" King Qi seemingly spoke to himself, though everyone knew he was talking to King Qin.

King Qin had become a prisoner; he knew King Qi wasn't mercifully sparing his life, but wanted him alive to see him rule the Seven Kings, becoming the new Nether Emperor.

Then, to disgrace him.

King Qin's mouth twitched twice.

A person entirely defeated naturally had no complaints.

"Qi Yinglong, don't be too pleased too early. I just didn't expect you could invite people from third-rate sects, hehe, but if that kid could die so easily, he might not have lived until now." King Qin still voiced his thoughts.

King Qi was dismissive.

Yan Fang was a Foundation Establishment Expert whom King Qi had painstakingly invited.

The promised benefits were also exorbitant.

But now, with the Holy Envoy protecting him, King Qi instead regarded Yan Fang as merely a piece on his chessboard.

Last night's conversation with King Qin made King Qi ponder a lot.

If Ye Guichen were truly just a pawn, this time, he had a thousand ways to exterminate Ye Guichen.

Because he had prepared several plans.

Even taking a step back, if Ye Guichen could miraculously kill Master Yan and remain heartless to Nolan Qingqing's life and death.

No matter, he himself, a super expert of the fifth layer of Foundation Establishment, was still around.

The fifth layer of Foundation Establishment, ah.

Last night, King Qi felt the immense power within this realm and his outlook on the world changed.

Arrogance!

Insolence!

This immense power surged within him; King Qi even somewhat anticipated personally stepping in, planting Ye Guichen underfoot.

As long as he could truly crush Ye Guichen beneath him, who would still dare defy him?

The position of Nether Emperor, no one would contest him anymore.

Ye Guichen naturally didn't know King Qi's schemes.

His primary reason for accepting the challenge today was to see if the hidden person would appear.

"Young Master, let me!" Just as Ye Guichen was contemplating, before he could act, Xuanyuan Canghai already stepped forward: "Once, I always served the Nether Emperor, today I wish to serve the Young Master, as this horse-leading pawn!"

Speaking, he cupped his hand toward Yan Fang: "Dare to declare your name? I am Xuanyuan Canghai!"

Yan Fang sneered, glancing at the Black Panther under Xuanyuan Canghai's crotch, let out a scoff: "What, riding on a little beast wanting to show off? Hehe, alright fine, since you wish to die, I, the master, will fulfill your wish!"

"Remember, I'm Yan Fang, from the third-rate sect Xuantian Sect, originally our sect didn't want to get involved in your mess, but hearing someone claim to be Son of Yinming, committing chaos, I was indignant, naturally I came to uphold justice!"
