My Silly, Sweet Wife

Chapter 1431 - 1352: Insect King

After Feng Wuxiu left, Dugu Yue and the others did not dare to move recklessly.

They didn’t know if this was a trap set by the Yin Ghost Sect.

So, at this time, it’s best to wait for Feng Wuxiu to bring back news.

It wasn’t long before Feng Wuxiu returned with a complicated expression.

"How is it?" Seeing Feng Wuxiu return unharmed and without signs of a fight, Dugu Yue’s heart grew even more confused.

Feng Wuxiu’s face was also strange as he explained, "It’s strange, the entire Hefeng Valley seems to have gone through a massacre."

"What? A massacre?" Dugu Yue asked in surprise, "What’s going on, how could there be a massacre? Has someone discovered the whereabouts of the Yin Ghost Sect and already clashed with them? No, it can’t be, the Yin Ghost Sect’s methods are always treacherous; even if someone found them, they wouldn’t gain anything from it, right? Could it be they were killed by the Yin Ghost Sect and their souls were taken away?"

Feng Wuxiu shook his head: "Uncle Master, that’s not it, aside from the bodies of the Yin Ghost Sect people, I didn’t see any other corpses at the scene. Even stranger is that there are no guards near the Yin Ghost Sect; I’m now starting to suspect that the Yin Ghost Sect has been wiped out by someone."

"Impossible!" Dugu Yue was the first to dismiss the idea.

The Yin Ghost Sect may not be considered a major sect, but their influence is still there.

Moreover, because of their peculiar cultivation and knowledge in the Ghost Control Technique, even a major sect like Xuantian Sect couldn’t possibly wipe out the Yin Ghost Sect.

At most, they could scatter them, but if most people used the Ghost Escape Technique, they would still escape.

Dugu Yue came this time hoping to severely harm the Yin Ghost Sect; as for completely eradicating them, that was simply impossible.

So, they had to act discreetly, and if possible, as long as they killed the Sect Master of the Yin Ghost Sect, their goal would be achieved.

As for annihilation, that was undoubtedly a fairy tale.

Although Feng Wuxiu also felt it was unlikely, he continued to explain, "Uncle Master, as I walked on, I faced no obstruction, and even when I approached the center of the Yin Ghost Sect, there was not a single shadow, which, according to my previous investigation, was impossible. Also, before, whenever I came to Hefeng Valley, my first impression was that it felt cold."

"Earlier, I didn’t pay attention, but now that I pay closer attention, I realize Hefeng Valley doesn’t have that cold feeling, as if the Yin Qi has dissipated."

Upon hearing Feng Wuxiu’s words, everyone looked up confusedly and began carefully sensing.

They couldn’t deny, it seemed to be the case.

Although they hadn’t had much contact with the Yin Ghost Sect, through various sources, they basically knew the sect’s methods.

They simply use Yin Qi as a medium to perform ghostly techniques to defeat enemies.

The heavier the Yin Qi, the more powerful the Yin Ghost Sect’s combat ability.

This is akin to how ordinary people’s cultivation requires True Qi.

Yin Qi is also the source of power for the Yin Ghost Sect.

"Strange, how could this happen? In this world, could there be someone capable of wiping out the Yin Ghost Sect?" Dugu Yue still found it unlikely, and questioned again: "Wuxiu, could this be a trap?"

Feng Wuxiu shook his head: "Uncle Master, we have not brought many people this time, if the Yin Ghost Sect truly wanted to deal with us, why would they set a trap? Therefore, I believe the Yin Ghost Sect must’ve encountered something serious, and it’s urgent that we quickly enter the Yin Ghost Sect and see."

Dugu Yue, despite still having some apprehension about entering the Yin Ghost Sect, now deep down also harbored an inexplicable anticipation.

For no other reason.

If the Yin Ghost Sect truly has been wiped out.

That would be major news in the Jianghu.

Although Dugu Yue, as a master of Wan Jian Villa, was skilled, his name wasn’t widely known.

If he could be involved in the Yin Ghost Sect’s annihilation event, he would surely rise to fame.

Not to say achieving instant fame, it would certainly earn him respect in the martial arts community.

After a brief hesitation, Dugu Yue immediately said, "Fine, everyone be careful, let’s see if there are any remnants of the Yin Ghost Sect, if there are, eliminate them directly!"

Everyone was excited.

There was no choice; if they had to face the entire Yin Ghost Sect, they would be hanging their heads by their belts, ready to lose their lives any moment.

But when it came to beating a drowning dog, they were naturally eager to do so.

The group wasted no time and quickly headed towards the Yin Ghost Sect’s main hall.

As they proceeded, their initial suspicions were increasingly confirmed.

Aside from some Yin Ghost Sect disciples’ corpses, there was no one coming out to stop them.

When they reached the main hall, it was still empty.

"Heavens, the Yin Ghost Sect has truly been wiped out?" Dugu Yue was so excited that his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

If this news were to get out, it would surely drop jaws throughout the Jianghu.

"Uncle Dugu, look, there’s an underground tunnel here."

Suddenly, one disciple discovered the previously opened entrance.

Dugu Yue looked down, frowning for a moment: "Could it be that some Yin Ghost Sect members have escaped below? Hmph, go after them quickly, they’re just remnants, they won’t escape."

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

If he could kill the fleeing Yin Ghost Sect members, Dugu Yue knew that he could not only complete the task of Wan Jian Villa, but might even take on the position of Alliance Hierarch.

No longer hesitating, everyone quickly jumped into the entrance.

Meanwhile.

Underground, Yin Ghost Sect disciples continuously disappeared.

The atmosphere felt both panic-stricken and eerie.
