My Silly, Sweet Wife

The eyes of those six people were filled with despair, but they were not dead, and seemed to have some understanding of the situation of this ritual.

At the center of the altar was the Sect Hierarch shrouded in black aura.

He emitted a sinister voice, deep and resonant like a drum, rumbling incessantly.

"Searching high and low only to find it by chance!" the Sky Demon Sect Leader said in a sinister voice, "All seven of you have been chosen for your extremely strong soul power. Initially, I thought it would take some time for the seventh person, but now it seems I overthought it."

Then, he glanced at Ye Guichen, and with just one look, the Sect Hierarch showed an expression of surprise: "Tsk tsk, you’ve absorbed the power of the Life Spring, it seems your soul power is even greater. This is indeed a pleasant surprise. I originally thought I would need a few more years for resurrection, and this ritual would continue for some time, but now it seems unnecessary."

"What? Kid, you actually absorbed the Life Spring?"

"How is that possible? Since you’ve absorbed the Life Spring, why would you come here?"

"Kid, you’ve brought about our doom!"

The other six glared at Ye Guichen, clearly seeing him as an enemy.

In their eyes, if it weren’t for Ye Guichen’s arrival, they might have lived a little longer.

Ye Guichen’s body was immobile, but his soul was unusually active, possibly because of the ritual, and it seemed even more active than before.

Moreover, Ye Guichen could still speak.

"Who are you?" Ye Guichen asked.

"Who are we?"

"Of course, we are the elites of the Sky Demon Sect!"

"No, it seems now we’ve been duped!"

"Ah, yes, it seems we were chosen from the start when we joined the Sky Demon Sect."

The six began to recount one after another.

Ye Guichen understood; these six were all from the Sky Demon Sect.

Moreover, they were the elites of the Sky Demon Sect.

However, the reason they became part of the Sky Demon Sect was for this very ritual.

To summon that sinister being that had fused with the earth long ago.

And the Sky Demon Sect Leader had long lost his mind, now probably just a puppet of that sinister being.

This ritual required seven people with strong souls to complete, but one of them had an anomaly and escaped beforehand.

This enraged the Sky Demon Sect Leader, forcing him to commence the ritual prematurely.

But without seven, even if the Sect Hierarch killed all the Sky Demon Sect members for their blood power, he could not fully restore the sinister being underground to its peak.

Once the ritual began, it could not be halted.

The Sky Demon Sect Leader initially thought the ritual would take a while, but with Ye Guichen and his potent Life Spring power appearing, he felt Ye Guichen was heaven-sent.

"Haha! Once my Rakshasa reappears, I shall regain control of this world!"

The Sky Demon Sect Leader laughed wildly, suddenly spreading his hands.

A black snake spiraled from his hands, flying towards the seven including Ye Guichen.

"Ah! I don’t want to die!"

The other six cried out one after another.

But it was to no avail.

Soon, the black snakes entered the seven, including Ye Guichen.

Each person’s face began to contort, their souls visibly separating from their bodies.

Ye Guichen felt a terrifying force pulling his soul out.

Looking down, Ye Guichen saw his body twisting, seemingly about to fall apart.

"What... what’s happening?"

Ye Guichen looked up and found as the black aura from underground poured into the Sky Demon Sect Leader, his soul grew larger, reaching ten yards high in no time.

Moreover, the power kept rising.

As time passed, the opponent grew stronger.

Ye Guichen’s soul was exceptionally strong, and although separated from his body, he maintained his consciousness.

But the other six were clearly not as fortunate.

They fell into a semi-conscious state.

"Hehe, just a bit more, just a bit more!"

The gigantic shadow at the head of the Sky Demon Sect Leader suddenly extended seven hands, reaching for the souls of Ye Guichen and the others.

Each soul grabbed was immediately shoved into the mouth, chewed like a delicacy, and swallowed.

Seeing Ye Guichen’s soul being captured.

Ye Guichen wouldn’t sit idly by.

He knew if he didn’t stop this being during resurrection, he’d have no chance later.

Moreover, he might die here.

Fortunately, Ye Guichen had the Jiuyou Tower.

Without hesitation, Ye Guichen summoned the Jiuyou Tower, Little Black, and the Ghost King.

As Little Black and the Ghost King appeared, they charged at the massive shadow.

The Ghost King was shocked: "How did you provoke such a terrifying existence?"

Ye Guichen was puzzled: "You know this thing?"

"Of course, it’s the Ghost Rakshasa, said to be the strongest spiritual body with Yinming Power, immortal. If given the chance, they resurrect, and if strong enough, they can even devour Immortals!"

The Ghost King was evidently baffled.
