The Song family members were no match for Ye Tiancheng, yet they still wanted to confront him, finding immense pleasure in such struggles. To battle heaven, earth, and man was endlessly enjoyable. Without conflict, life felt desolate, which was why, even when outmatched, they would fiercely strive to achieve their goals. Those who truly accomplished this were rare, much like Ye Tiancheng before them.
Ye Tiancheng naturally aimed for his best state to successfully confront his opponents. Successfully confronting them was no simple feat; it could even cost him his head. In such circumstances, Ye Tiancheng would not easily voice his opinions, nor would he reveal his thoughts to others, as he was a peculiar and enigmatic individual.
At this moment, he needed to visit the underworld to retrieve the soul of the Jiangsu family patriarch. Going to the underworld was a trivial matter for him, something he had become accustomed to.
"Perhaps at times, people feel you are going to a very dangerous place. I worry about your safety," Su Muxian finally voiced her concern about the danger Ye Tiancheng faced.
Ye Tiancheng, of course, would not disclose his situation to her, unwilling to let this woman worry about him. The state he needed to achieve was beyond the comprehension of many, perhaps even himself. He couldn't understand why he involved himself in so many troublesome matters, making himself so busy. Humans were such that the less they knew, the more they wanted to know, and the more they wanted to know, the less they could grasp. Chasing after things in this world, they ultimately didn't know what they were pursuing, feeling inexplicably drawn into something they didn't wish to control. Some things had become so detestable, much like the current situation.
At times, certain things appeared incredibly simple, yet to some, they were far from it. It seemed they had entered a critical juncture of life and death, a crucial moment where such concerns were disregarded. Once a decision was made, there was no room for hesitation or overthinking. Thus, Ye Tiancheng patted Su Muxian's shoulder and said, "There's nothing to discuss. Since the decision has been made, bravely carry it forward."
Seeing that Ye Tiancheng had made up his mind, she looked at him reluctantly, her gaze conveying her boundless concern. This concern was truly unsettling and troublesome, but there was no other way. Her heart was filled with anxiety. The more she felt this way, the more she realized her inability to cope with separation and death.
Regardless, in the end, all would perish. No matter what, the outcome would be displeasing. Su Tiancun, moreover, advised his sister not to be so sad, to trust Ye Tiancheng, for this man would always bring them boundless surprises. Having reached this point, there was no turning back. The worries in her heart were about to erupt. For her, the impossible could only be overcome by trusting Ye Tiancheng. Whom else could she trust if not this man? He was her only reliance.
Looking at the present situation, whom could she trust if not Ye Tiancheng? Therefore, she could only believe that Ye Tiancheng could help her and help her realize her dreams completely.
The Black and White Impermanence had already learned of Ye Tiancheng's impending arrival and had prepared numerous ghost soldiers and generals to await him. Ye Tiancheng also knew he would encounter the Black and White Impermanence, individuals he found most detestable and could do nothing to change. When faced with a problem that required serious attention, one had to confront it, regardless of how challenging or unwelcome it might be.
"These fellows are truly amusing and utterly speechless," he thought. He dared to venture into the underworld alone. Perhaps he no longer wished to live. This was the prevailing thought among the ghost soldiers and generals. Among their ranks, approximately three hundred ghost soldiers and generals had already received word that Ye Tiancheng was coming alone. They had prepared how to deal with him. At this moment, their thought was that a single person's spit could drown him. It was truly unwise for him to venture alone; such recklessness would lead to his death.
Seeing how they looked down on him, he found it laughable. These individuals still believed he had come to the underworld alone. Fortunately, Ye Tiancheng had made preparations for these fellows. Because of these preparations, many people he hadn't notified in Huangjia Village had begun to arrive one after another. Even he was surprised. He had never notified them, so why could they arrive so easily? This was because these people possessed extraordinary abilities, allowing them to track Ye Tiancheng's every move. This was due to Bai Jingjing placing a finger bone on Ye Tiancheng, which she had done subtly during their initial contact. Wherever he went, Bai Jingjing could know his location. Therefore, Bai Jingjing could easily bring the Yao clan people here for this very reason. Those fellows hadn't anticipated that Bai Jingjing would bring so many people. They were shocked. Black and White Impermanence first sent Ox-Head and Horse-Face to challenge him; these were their two top generals. In many battles, these two generals served as the vanguard. In the eyes of Black and White Impermanence, Ox-Head and Horse-Face were their vanguards and trusted subordinates.
These two fellows were indeed formidable. Upon their arrival, they immediately launched a fierce assault, quickly subduing Ye Tiancheng and his companions, leaving them with no room to move. Shortly after, Ye Tiancheng began to struggle. After all, the people he had brought were no match for these opponents. He soon found himself in trouble, and this endless trouble brought endless distress. These individuals, when fighting against regular ghost soldiers, naturally lacked proper training. Without combat training, they were not so effective. They were quickly defeated, scattering in disarray, with many more ghost soldiers arriving. In an instant, Wang Kefang was surrounded. Seeing this, Huang He became extremely displeased. After all, he didn't want to end up like this. He had to achieve something that others couldn't surpass, something that could be described well. No matter what, winning against others wasn't easy. He had always thought the Yao clan people were powerful, but now it seemed that wasn't the case.
These people were no match for the regular ghost soldiers and were quickly routed and fled. This made Bai Jingjing and Ye Tiancheng feel utterly disgraced. These people were not formidable at all; each of them appeared quite ridiculous. As for becoming stronger through benefits, many books suggested it was necessary to do so. In the days to come, when one truly felt infinite possibilities, everything would become perfect. Wang Kefang was not as simple as they imagined. In his eyes, there were many things that could not be surpassed. When was the time for him to unleash his power?
These fellows never dreamed that Ye Tiancheng was so formidable. With a few moves, he had routed their people. The next moment, these individuals couldn't even see Wang Kefang's attacking stance; each one inexplicably fell into a pool of blood. Those who desperately wanted to live could not, and those who wished to die could not. This world wouldn't indulge extra thoughts, for this place was destined for Ye Tiancheng to surpass himself and become the man forged by his trials. Because everyone had opinions, it was possible for him to emerge.
These ghost soldiers and generals were extremely powerful, instantly surrounding him and rendering him unable to move even a single strand of hair. Such immense power made even Ye Tiancheng feel fear. After all, Ye Tiancheng was not an exceptionally powerful cultivator. These Ox-Head, Horse-Face, and dog-like figures, along with them, formed a formidable pressure. Under the combined oppressive force of these Ox-Head, Horse-Face, and dog-like figures, it was impossible. To survive, one naturally had to muster great courage. Without great courage, it was impossible to defeat these ghost soldiers and generals. The Yao clan people, lacking rigorous combat training, were no match for their opponents and were soundly defeated. Seeing this situation unfold, his heart stirred with genuine ripples. To resolve this issue completely was not easy. In many situations, the inability to face something made it extremely dire. At this moment, his heart was filled with infinite tragedy. The only way out was no way out; the only choice was the only choice. In this situation, he had become completely agitated and restless, his killing intent palpable. Sometimes, situations that appeared dire were not so serious. In this life, we push ourselves to such extremes that it seems others have forced us into that situation.
