My Silly, Sweet Wife

Not only that, the shadow has also become much more illusory, seemingly wounded.

"Hm? So powerful?" Zuo Qiuyun didn’t expect his ghost puppet to be defeated so quickly and without luring the opponent out, couldn’t help but curse softly: "It seems there’s something in there that’s already formed a Spiritual Sense, hmph, since that’s the case, I will go in and see for myself."

Saying this, he didn’t even greet Ye Guichen, and bent over to go straight into the small cave.

"Master, wait for me." The little apprentice couldn’t dawdle either, hurriedly following.

Ye Guichen followed last, while Gui Yi guarded behind Ye Guichen to prevent any sudden changes.

As they entered the small cave, the corpse aura became thicker and thicker.

After a short walk, a large space suddenly appeared ahead.

Almost as big as a house of several hundred square meters.

Inside, bodies piled up like mountains, emitting a strong stench.

What made Ye Guichen and Zuo Qiuyun feel nauseous was a thing that looked much like a human, but its body completely deformed, walking on hands and feet, back arched like a giant monkey, gnawing at a corpse’s hand.

The little apprentice threw up on the spot upon seeing this.

Zuo Qiuyun was stunned, his expression slightly changed: "This, is this a Corpse Spirit?"

"Corpse Spirit? What do you mean?" Ye Guichen found that Zuo Qiuyun was quite skilled in Dao techniques, seemingly from a famous sect, knowing more than himself, casually asked.

Zuo Qiuyun glanced at Ye Guichen, yet did not hide anything: "As everyone knows, there are many ghosts and monsters in this world capable of becoming spirits, these spirit creatures are different from ordinary monsters, they have no soul within, their existence’s meaning is just to fill their bellies."

As he spoke, Zuo Qiuyun pointed at the Corpse Spirit gnawing on the hand and said: "Look, this Corpse Spirit should be newly formed, hasn’t developed independent consciousness, only knows how to eat, yet his eyes can’t see, ears can’t hear anything."

Eyes can’t see, ears can’t hear?

Ye Guichen nodded hearing this: "What conditions are needed for the formation of a Corpse Spirit?"

"Corpse aura and Spiritual Energy!" Zuo Qiuyun answered without hesitation: "These two auras intertwining easily form a Corpse Spirit. However, this Corpse Spirit is more interested in corpses, not much interested in the living, seems there’s something more terrifying here."

Ye Guichen deeply agreed, nodded at Gui Yi.

Gui Yi, originally a puppet made by Ye Guichen, understood Ye Guichen’s intentions without the need to speak, went forward and chopped the Corpse Spirit in half.

The gnawing sound vanished.

The two-halved body of the Corpse Spirit was still wriggling.

Zuo Qiuyun sighed: "Once these Corpse Spirits are formed, they are very difficult to kill, you must disperse the thread of Spiritual Energy formed within them."

Saying this, Zuo Qiuyun waved at the little apprentice.

The little apprentice quickly placed the Qiankun Mirror into Zuo Qiuyun’s hand.

Zuo Qiuyun placed his two fingers onto the clasp at the back of the Qiankun Mirror, facing the mirror towards the Corpse Spirit, while pinching a finger technique.

A white glow emitted from the Qiankun Mirror, directly enveloping the Corpse Spirit.

The next second, the Corpse Spirit let out a shrill cry and instantly turned into a puddle of black water.

After completing all this, Zuo Qiuyun glanced around the entire cave, only to find besides the pile of corpses, there was no other exit.

"No, how could there be no exit? My ghost puppet was fighting with something." Zuo Qiuyun took out a piece of talisman paper and tossed it into mid-air: "Burn!"

The talisman paper turned to ashes and drilled below those bodies.

Before long, a black thread suddenly extended out from beneath those corpses.

Zuo Qiuyun’s eyes lit up: "So cunning, that thing actually piled bodies here to block the road, haha, now that you’ve met me today, it’s your death day!"

Zuo Qiuyun raised his hand, with a horsetail whisk appearing in it.

Then, he waved the horsetail whisk toward where the black thread extended.

A terrifying force cleaved through those corpses directly.

Indeed, beneath the bodies, a dark cave was revealed.

The cave emitted a strange aura.

Zuo Qiuyun was about to investigate when a cloud of black gas rushed out from the cave.

The black gas, with a fierce aura, suddenly surged towards Zuo Qiuyun’s face.

Zuo Qiuyun was shocked, swiftly flinging the horsetail whisk in his hand!

Thunk!

As if it struck something.

The shadow let out a cry, suddenly splitting into two.

Zuo Qiuyun also felt a wet sensation on his face, reaching out to touch, actually found himself bleeding.

The most terrifying part, the blood flowing from the wound on his face wasn’t red, but black.

"Master, you’re, you’re hurt!" The little apprentice was stunningly horrified.

Zuo Qiuyun directly pasted a piece of talisman paper onto his facial wound, stopping the bleeding, murmuring words to seemingly calm his mind.

"Damn it, this thing is even fiercer than imagined! But today, since you met me, Zuo Qiuyun, no matter how powerful you are, you’re doomed to die!" Zuo Qiuyun roared, left hand suddenly pinching a finger technique.

The Peach Wood Sword behind him seemed manipulated by an invisible hand, suddenly flying out, slashing towards one of the shadows.

As it slashed, the Peach Wood Sword unexpectedly exploded with a golden light.

"Ah!"

The shadow appeared extremely fearful of this Peach Wood Sword, screamed, not daring to take it head-on, suddenly twisting, dodging the Peach Wood Sword’s slash, charged towards the little apprentice.

"Cunning thing!" Zuo Qiuyun was furious, waved the horsetail whisk again, countless threads shot out, forming a dense barrier around the little apprentice.

The shadow crashed into the barrier, merely trembling, unable to break through.

"Xiaolang, catch the Qiankun Mirror!" Zuo Qiuyun tossed the Qiankun Mirror towards the little apprentice.

The little apprentice, somewhat calm now, upon hearing grabbed the Qiankun Mirror, pinched with two fingers, fiercely spun.

The Qiankun Mirror emitted an eye-catching white light again, shining on the shadow.

Weirdly, the shadow revealed the outline of a woman’s shape under the light.

Seemingly stimulated by the white light, the shadow sharply turned, waved its hand, and a mass of black air struck against the Qiankun Mirror.

Bang!

This blow was powerful, directly shattering the white light emitted by the Qiankun Mirror.

Meanwhile, another shadow also charged towards Ye Guichen.

Ye Guichen didn’t have the intent to act.

Earlier he roughly figured these two shadows were likely not living beings.

In fact, might be something even more terrifying than Corpse Spirits.

However, in front of him, still just child’s play.

Especially with the Impermanence Sword in Gui Yi’s hand, it was specifically crafted for dealing with such sinister creatures, simply invincible.

The opponent seemed to notice his inaction, probably thinking he was the weakest, initiated an attack on him.

Heh, they are asking for their own deaths.

Seeing the shadow approaching.

Gui Yi suddenly acted.

The Impermanence Sword in hand cleanly chopped downward.

The shadow instantly took shape.

The body split into two.

That form was actually a man.

"Brother Feng!" The other shadow seemed surprised at the swift death of its companion, seeing the body had been cut in two, lost the will to fight, exclaimed, bundled up its companion and again fell into the cave.

"Trying to escape?" Seeing the opponent trying to escape, how could Zuo Qiuyun let it go?

He too jumped down, plunging into the small cave with the shadow.

Ye Guichen hesitated briefly, glanced at those bodies, nodded at Gui Yi, and followed in.

Just entering, the sound of rushing water echoed below.

Below, there was indeed a dark river.

Except, this dark river’s water had turned a daring red, with many bodies floating on it, looking filthy beyond compare.
