Empress: My husband is too strong, I can only lie down and relax.

Chapter 172 A Prodigy on the Earthly Ranking, The Soul-Suppressing Ghost Tower?!

For a moment, Su Qiang and Cai Kun also looked at Yu Chi Lan.

They never expected that they would be humiliated by the Yuchi family as soon as they arrived in this desolate city.

"Sister Qiang..."

At this moment, Yu Chi Lan's face also turned red, but she only pulled Su Qiang aside and said with difficulty, "Let me explain."

"As you know, the Yuchi family has long lost its former arrogance. They already know about the sect ceremony in Wolong City. Because the Taiji Sect crippled Qin Lang, they completely offended the Dingtian Holy Land. The Yuchi family is afraid of being implicated, so..."

"Afraid of being implicated? How laughable! If your Yuchi family is so afraid, why don't you just hand over the Wilderness Domain?" Cai Kun was so angry at this that he laughed.

Su Qiang frowned and asked, "Doesn't the Yuchi family know that the three holy lands are after the Yuchi family's position as the Lord of the Wilderness?"

"So what if I know!?"

Before Yuchi Lan could respond, another voice rang out from inside the Yuchi residence.

Hearing the sound, everyone looked over and saw a junior wearing purple tiger-striped armor walking out of the mansion gate.

His long, purplish-red hair flew about, and he held a long sword in his arms. He was handsome and heroic, and his cultivation had reached the half-step Refinement Realm.

He stood in front of the mansion gate, looking down at Su Qiang and the others.

"The Yuchi family does not want to offend the three holy lands, so the Yuchi mansion does not welcome Taiji Sect cultivators."

"No, who are you? What are you pretending to be with that human head and ghost face?!" Su Che raised an eyebrow and pointed at the cultivator.

“He, he is my husband, Murong Jun…” But at this moment, Yu Chi Lan lowered her eyebrows and said.

"What!?"

This surprised everyone.

This person is actually Yu Chi Lan's husband!?

I had heard Su Qiang say before that although Yu Chi Lan's husband was a son-in-law who married into the family, he was quite talented. Now that I've met him, he is indeed quite good.

But isn't this guy a bit too arrogant, considering he's just a son-in-law living with his wife's family?

"Murong, Sister Qiang is an old friend of mine. You'd better watch your tone when you speak." At this moment, Yu Chi Lan also looked at Murong Jun.

This situation puts her in a difficult position.

"Lan'er, can't you see the situation clearly now? The Yuchi family shouldn't have any dealings with Hundred Beast Valley or Taiji Sect." But Murong Jun remained indifferent.

He doesn't look like a son-in-law at all.

"Heh, no wonder the Yuchi family is no longer what it used to be. I've seen it for myself today!" Cai Kun couldn't help but sneer.

"What the Yuchi family is like is none of your business!"

But before Cai Kun could finish speaking, a third figure emerged from the mansion gate, surrounded by a large group of cultivators.

The speaker was dressed in black armor, with a particularly burly build and a square face filled with indifference.

He looked down at the crowd and said coldly, "Back then, if you hadn't escaped quickly, you would be dead by now if you hadn't chosen to break off the engagement."

"And you, Su Qiang, I know that you came to the Yuchi residence today only to seek the protection of the Yuchi family."

"But you've miscalculated!"

“Brother, this guy is Yuchi Rong, the eldest son of the Yuchi family. He is currently ranked 901st on the Earth Ranking!” Cai Kun said in a deep voice behind Gu Jiancheng.

"Oh!? You've made it onto the Earth Ranking?" Gu Jiancheng raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

This person was the first outstanding individual on the local ranking list that he encountered.

Although he was only at the bottom of the Earth Ranking, his cultivation had indeed reached the Refining Void Realm!

As the young master of the Desolate Wilderness Domain, his cultivation level is not low.

That's right, this person seems even more arrogant than that son-in-law!

Upon hearing this, Su Qiang and her brother's expressions suddenly darkened.

This Yuchi Rong actually thought they had come to seek refuge?

"Yuchi Rong, don't think that everyone is as spineless as you!"

"I came to the Yuchi family only for Lan'er!" Su Qiang replied coldly.

"It better be so!"

"Lan'er, go back to the manor. Don't associate with these people in the future, or it will lower the status of the Yuchi family!" Yuchi Rong was somewhat surprised.

He had assumed that Su Qiang would give in and beg for mercy.

"But brother, they..."

"Don't you understand what I'm saying?" Yu Chi Lan wanted to plead for her, but Yu Chi Rong's eyes instantly turned cold and sharp.

Yu Chi Lan was gentle by nature and dared not disobey her elder brother.

"Lan'er, go back. It's enough that I was able to see you once during this trip to Manghuang City!" Su Qiang said with a smile, afraid that Yu Chi Lan would feel embarrassed.

"Don't worry, Sister Qiang, I'll help you when we get to the ancient battlefield!" Yu Chi Lan nodded heavily, tears of grievance welling up in her eyes.

"Silly girl, haven't I always protected you since you were little? Go on!" Su Qiang affectionately patted Yu Chi Lan's hair.

"Ok!"

Thus, Yu Chi Lan reluctantly returned to the Yu Chi residence.

Yuchi Rong and his son-in-law Murong Jun glanced at the crowd with disdain before being escorted back by them.

From beginning to end, these people didn't even give Gu Jiancheng and Yun Shuiyao a second glance.

"This is a complete disregard for our Taiji Sect!" Shangguan Linglong said, arms crossed, clearly indignant.

"The Taiji Sect doesn't want to have anything to do with such a trashy family. I find it disgusting!" Su Wanzhi sneered.

"You should have foreseen this day when you offended the three holy lands!"

But at that moment, a cold voice suddenly rang out from behind them.

Gu Jiancheng and the others turned around upon hearing the sound, only to see hundreds of people flying in from one side of the long street.

Among them were three figures whose aura and appearance were quite outstanding. Surrounded by many cultivators, they stood out from the crowd.

"Where did these stray cats and dogs come from again? This is never going to stop!?"

Cai Kun was already furious, and now he finally couldn't hold back any longer and cursed.

"They are the three top-tier sects in the Desolate Wilderness Domain today!"

"From left to right, these are Ice Sword Valley, Pure Yang Sect, and Hanging Temple!"

At this moment, Su Qiang stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "The strongest chief disciples of these three major sects are also ranked on the Earth Ranking!"

Unlike Lei Zhan of the Thunder Sword Sect, in fact, looking at the Holy Domain, a sect with a genius on the Earth Ranking is a symbol of a first-class sect!

These three sects had long been first-class sects, with profound foundations that the Thunder Sword Sect could not match.

"Impotent rage is nothing but the base behavior of the weak."

"Cherish your time now, for once you enter the Void, it will be your death!"

The chief disciple of Ice Sword Valley grinned maliciously, then turned and led a group of arrogant sect disciples away.

In front of the Yuchi Mansion, a group of onlookers also cast pitying glances at each other.

Being simultaneously hated by the three holy lands and disliked by the Yuchi Mansion, only the Hundred Beasts Valley and the Taiji Sect in the entire Desolate Wilderness Region could do that!

"What the hell? What is that thing? It came over, spat at us, and then left?" Su Che said angrily.

"I'm sorry, Sect Leader Gu. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have brought you here. Instead, we've been humiliated." Su Qiang looked at Gu Jiancheng with a guilty expression.

"Miss Su, you're being too polite!"

Yun Shuiyao waved her hand dismissively, saying, "We never take being looked down upon or humiliated to heart."

"But they won't get away with messing with us."

"At least the Yuchi family will absolutely not exist during the Guixu Battlefield. At that time, Miss Su, please don't think we were too ruthless!"

As she finished speaking, Yun Shuiyao's expression suddenly turned extremely cold and stern.

If we're talking about holding grudges, she's even more vengeful than Gu Jiancheng.

Today, she will not let either the Yuchi family or the three major sects get away with it.

Those who enter the Ruins of Guixu will all die!

“I have no connection with the Yuchi family anymore, and I want it to disappear more than any of you. Just don’t harm Lan’er. She is innocent. I can tell she’s not happy,” Su Qiang pleaded.

Although she couldn't imagine how the Taiji Sect could cope with the simultaneous presence of the Yuchi family and the three holy lands as its backers, her intuition told her that the Taiji Sect had the strength to do so.

"Don't worry, we can tell friend from foe," Gu Jiancheng said with a smile.

"That's good. I'll take you to an inn so you can settle down first."

Su Qiang finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then led everyone away.

However, after searching almost the entire desolate region, they discovered that not a single inn in the vast city was willing to let them stay.

They were all rejected!?

"Hehe, it seems that the Yuchi Manor and the three holy lands are putting a lot of pressure on them, so much so that they don't even dare to let us stay!"

Su Qiang stood with a group of people on a long street in a corner of the desolate city, smiling bitterly. The scene was truly desolate and bitter.

Even before entering the Ruins Battlefield, progress is already so difficult.

Only now did the Taiji Sect members truly realize just how powerful the influence of the three holy lands was on the Desolate Wilderness.

"What can we do? We can't just sleep on the streets, can we?"

Cai Kun scratched his head, looking embarrassed.

This is really too embarrassing.

"So what? We can just go camping outside the city!" Yun Shuiyao said with a faint smile.

It just means I don't have a guesthouse to stay in; it won't affect anything.

Moreover, she wasn't afraid of anyone causing trouble for them.

If the three major sects really dare to make a move, she wouldn't mind annihilating them all before entering the Guixu Battlefield!

Are you looking for a hotel?

But just as Gu Jiancheng was about to speak, a timid voice suddenly rang out from behind everyone.

Everyone was taken aback by what they heard, and then they all turned around to look. They were surprised to find that at the end of the long street not far away, a young girl was standing in front of a pavilion, her big, star-like eyes looking at them.

"That's right, you can stay at your inn?"

Yunshuiyao nodded.

Only then did everyone notice a plaque on the pavilion behind the girl, which clearly read "Soul-Suppressing Inn".

But why does this name sound a little creepy?

"Of course, come on over!" The girl smiled sweetly, seemingly very happy.

"it is good!"

Yun Shuiyao nodded and quickly beckoned everyone over.

"and many more!"

At this moment, Su Qiang and Cai Kun spoke up to stop them almost simultaneously.

Even Su Qiang grabbed Yun Shuiyao's hand and shook her head, saying, "This Soul-Suppressing Inn is not a place to stay!"

"Why?" Yun Shuiyao frowned.

It's just an inn, what's wrong with staying there?

"It can't be explained in just a few words!"

Su Qiang pursed her lips, looking troubled: "This Soul-Suppressing Inn is a haunted building. Without exception, every cultivator who stays here has died suddenly!"

"What?! A haunted building!"

Upon hearing this, Su Wan and the other girls all paled and shrank back.

A haunted building? That's terrifying!

"Hehe, even if there really are ghosts, there's nothing to be afraid of!"

"Just go in and stay!"

But Gu Jiancheng, who hadn't spoken until now, suddenly smiled and headed straight for the Soul-Suppressing Inn.

There was indeed something wrong with the Soul-Suppressing Inn, but he had taken a liking to the girl.

Today, he absolutely must stay at this Soul-Suppressing Inn!
