There is still one month left, and one month later, I will have stayed in the Netherworld for a full ten years. At that time, even the powerful Ghost King will not be able to tell that I am someone outside the Netherworld. But this short month took me like a year. I pretended to practice in seclusion and never left the room. If I want to survive the Ghost King Tribulation, I can do so at any time. At this moment, I am just worried about my identity being exposed.
"Ye Feng, two adults are looking for you." Yun Chan said outside the door.
"Two adults? Where are you?" I asked. At this moment, I suddenly had a bad feeling in my heart.
"Two adults from Tianjian Sect." Yun Chan said.
When I heard Yun Chan say that she was from Tianjian Sect, my heart was in my throat. Have the people from Tianjian Sect discovered that I am still alive? I had no time to think now. I ducked to the door, opened it quickly, and used my Nether Wings to escape. Yunchan was startled by my actions.
"Brother Ye Yu, do you want to escape?" a voice asked in surprise.
I looked in the direction of the sound and saw two middle-aged men, one in white and one in green. Among them, the middle-aged man in white is actually the elder of the Tianjian Sect whom I met last time just after leaving the Burial City. I guess the other one should also be an elder of the Tianjian Sect. Two strong men in the realm of ghost kings suddenly arrived. I am afraid that I will not be able to escape today even if I want to.
"Brother Ye Yu?" Yun Chan exclaimed.
"It's me. I wonder what the two adults want from me?" I took off the ice veil and said calmly.
"Little brother Ye Yu, don't panic. We have no ill intentions. Your glorious deeds in the Burial City have spread throughout the Southern Territory. If I hadn't had a sharp eye and glanced at you last time when the Burial City was opened, it would be just right this time. I wrote an inscription on your statue and almost forgot about you. I just don’t know why you pretended to be dead?" said one of the elders.
I know they definitely don't mean any harm at this moment, but if they find out that I am from the outside world, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape death. Yun Chan was full of surprise at this moment, but due to the power of the elders of Tianjian Sect, she had to lower her head and did not dare to say a word.
"Senior should know that I offended the people of the Wind God Royal Family in Mass Burial City. They regarded me as a thorn in their side. In order to reduce unnecessary trouble, I had no choice but to fake my death. Please forgive me, senior!" I said respectfully.
"Don't worry, little brother Ye Yu, you are now the disciple of the great elder of our Tianjian Sect, and your status is respected. The Wind God Royal Family does not dare to do anything to you. This time, the two of us are here to take you to heaven just under the order of the great elder. From the Sword Sect," said the elder in white.
"Sky Sword Sect?" I asked doubtfully. I kept thinking in my mind, how can I delay it for a month? As long as I can delay it, my life will be saved. If I can't delay it, I will have no choice but to fall out. But the opponents are two strong men in the realm of ghost kings, and I am only in the ninth level of ghost general. There is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, so now I can only focus on dragging them down.
"What? Brother Ye Yu doesn't want to join the Heavenly Sword Sect?" The elder in white seemed a little angry.
I quickly laughed and said, "No, no. My wife, Wen Yan, is pregnant. I want to wait until the baby is born, and then the whole family will go to Tianjian Sect to pay respects to the master. I wonder if senior, can you give me some time?"
"This is definitely not possible. The Great Elder personally told you that when he sees you, he will take you to Tianjian Sect immediately without delay." The elder in white said.
"Is one month okay?" I tried to ask. I didn't expect the great elder to call me to Tianjian Sect so eagerly. Now I can only take one step at a time.
"Don't say a month, not even a day. Boy, are you procrastinating because you don't look down on our Tianjian Sect?" The elder in white had sharp eyes, as if he was about to take action if he disagreed.
"Senior, junior, no matter how you say it, you are still a disciple of the great elder of Tianjian Sect. Isn't it okay to say goodbye to my wife tonight?" I said angrily.
"Senior brother, little brother Ye Yu is a disciple of the great elder after all. He has a distinguished status. We can't force him too much. Why don't we take him back to Tianjian Sect tomorrow and let them say goodbye tonight?" Elder Qingyi saw that the atmosphere was tense and hurriedly smooth things over.
"Junior brother, this guy is just a monkey spirit. I'm worried about the long nights and many dreams. What will happen if I get into trouble?" said the elder in white.
"Senior brother, we will stay here tonight. No matter how many tricks he has, he can't escape from our hands." Elder Qingyi said with a smile.
"Boy Ye Yu, since my junior brother speaks for you, I agree to take you back to Tianjian Sect tomorrow. But I remind you, don't be clever. No one can violate the orders of the great elder." The elder in white said solemnly.
"Thank you two seniors for your understanding. Sister Yunchan, please arrange a room for the two seniors to rest." Ye Yu said.
"Yes, Brother Ye Yu." Yun Chan said excitedly.
After Yun Chan left with the two elders of Tianjian Sect, I suddenly realized that Wen Yan had been watching me silently. Wen Yan was already bursting into tears at this moment, crying into tears. Those were tears of happiness. She originally thought it would take five hundred years to see me appear alive in front of her, but now less than two months have passed. I stepped in front of Wen Yan and hugged her into my arms.
"Brother Yeyu, is it really you?" Wen Yan asked in disbelief.
"Yan'er, it's me, it's me. I have always been by your side and made you suffer." I said excitedly.
I carried Wen Yan into the room and looked at her tearful face, full of heartache. I gently wiped the tears on her face, but her tears were like floods bursting from the dam, unable to stop flowing down. No matter how I wiped them, they could not be wiped away.
"Yan'er, it's my fault, I should have told you earlier." I kept apologizing.
I don't know how much time passed, but Wen Yan suddenly asked: "Brother Ye Yu, will you leave me?"
I was stunned for a moment and said: "No, I will never leave you. Yan'er, I will always be with you and our children."
Wen Yan seemed to be aware of something, which made me extremely flustered. I couldn't tell her that we only had one day to be together. After tomorrow, I would die.
"Brother Yeyu, look at me, I want you to tell me clearly, will you leave me?" Wen Yan asked, staring into my eyes.
I looked at Wen Yan's sincere eyes, and I didn't know how to answer. She seemed to be able to see through my heart. I didn't want to lie to her, but telling her the truth would only make her more painful.
I took Wen Yan into my arms and said, "Yan'er, as long as I am alive, I will never leave you."
"Brother Ye Yu, are you worried that the two elders of Tianjian Sect will be harmful to you?" Wen Yan asked. I nodded subconsciously, realized something was wrong, and immediately shook my head again.
Tianjian Sect is the overlord of the Southern Territory. If I die, I will die. I must not involve Wen Yan and the child. I cannot follow the two elders back to Tianjian Sect. As long as I return to Tianjian Sect, my identity as an outsider will be exposed, and I will definitely die when the time comes. I have to find a way to fight them to the death on the road, but there is a huge difference between the ghost king and the ghost general. Only by surviving the three thunder tribulations and advancing to the realm of the ghost king can I have a chance of survival.
