Chapter 1769 - 829: Fear of One’s Wife Is a Disease

Chapter 1769: Chapter 829: Fear of One’s Wife Is a Disease

Due to the large number of demon soldiers, and with nearly a hundred people in the four representative teams, they had no way to camp and could only rest in the wild each day, while having to constantly guard against patrolling demon soldiers.

The leaders of the four representative teams discussed and decided that each day, two teams would go out on patrol to inspect the situation while the remaining two teams would regroup and strategize.

But even with this arrangement, half a month had passed without any progress.

As time went on, even those with the greatest patience lost their temper.

"It’s been a few days already. If this continues, we’ll die before we can even enter the Demon Thirteen Tombs. I actually envy Sixth Sister-in-law a bit; right now she’s comfortably lying in camp, waiting to give birth. Why couldn’t heaven have made me a woman?"

Qin Xiaochuan and several team members were patrolling in the wilds, grumbling impatiently.

With his complaints, several sharp gazes immediately shot towards him like knives.

One of those looks was very resentful, from Bo Qing.

Another was disdainful, from Guangzi.

The final one was from Di Shen.

Qin Xiaochuan was startled, and he shrank his neck guiltily.

"Just look at you; if you turned into a woman, wouldn’t it blind everyone instantly?"

Guangzi said in irritation, kicking Qin Xiaochuan.

Guangzi thought to himself, surely by now my mother should have received the letter and already arrived at the Jiu Provinces Main Camp.

I wonder if my mother will tell Sister the truth of what happened back then.

Di Shen withdrew his gaze, slightly worried about Ye Lingyue.

By now, his wife should have already entered the Demon World, and if all went well, she might have joined up with the Empress Dowager Chi and others.

"This can’t go on forever, we might have to find a secret route to sneak into the Demon Thirteen Tombs."

Di Shen said, looking at the Little White Tiger in Wuyue’s arms.

"But none of us knows where the secret route is."

Wuyue shook her head.

"It knows."

Di Shen dragged out Chi Ye, who resisted fiercely, trying to escape back into Wuyue’s arms.

"Di Shen, how could Little White know the secret route to the Demon Thirteen Tombs? It’s just an ordinary demon tiger."

Wuyue protected Chi Ye.

He had promised to take Di Shen and the others into the Demon Thirteen Tombs, but only after Di Shen found a way to resolve the crisis at Beiyu Palace.

If no good news came through, he would rather die than let Di Shen enter the Demon Thirteen Tombs.

"Fifth Sister, have you forgotten where you found it? It’s not just an ordinary White Tiger; to tell you the truth, it’s actually..."

Di Shen sneered; if he couldn’t make it suffer, he wasn’t Di Shen.

Little White Tiger leaped from Wuyue’s arms at lightning speed, baring its teeth at Di Shen to signal him to shut up.

What a joke; if Wuyue found out it was really Chi Ye, sleeping beside her every night and secretly watching her bathe, she’d ignore him for a lifetime.

Chi Ye couldn’t understand how a mighty Demon Emperor like himself could be scared of a little woman.

He was afraid she’d be upset, afraid she’d ignore him.

Chi Ye felt more annoyed the more he thought about it.

"What’s up with Little White?"

Wuyue said strangely, wondering about the odd relationship between Di Shen and Little White.

Clearly, Little White hated Di Shen, yet it seemed to follow Di Shen’s orders.

"I was about to say, it’s actually a very clever demon beast, capable of finding all sorts of hidden secret routes; otherwise, how could you have found it in the same secret route that only the Demon King Tongtian knew of last time?"

Di Shen smiled as he glanced at Chi Ye.

Be sincere, or he might spill the truth to Wuyue.

Chi Ye had no choice but to nod slightly.

"Wow, is Little White Tiger really that awesome? Good thing I didn’t castrate it for wine last time."

Qin Xiaochuan said in surprise, only to get a fierce glare from the Little White Tiger.

This big fool; just wait and see, once the Demon Emperor recovers, the first target will be you.

"Time is of the essence; we should enter the secret route soon. But should we tell the other two representative teams about the secret route?"

Tang Tiansong eyed Di Shen.

"You think Chen Mu and them would openly share everything they know with us? They’re hiding things first, so there’s no need for us to be frank. Moreover, I believe the Demon Thirteen Tombs consist of thirteen large tomb complexes. Each complex has its own secret route."

Di Shen said.

Chi Ye listened, shocked.

Di Shen’s speculation was correct; the thirteen Ancient Clans seemed to cooperate, but in reality, they were wary of each other.

Each clan had a secret route known only to its Clan Leader.

For example, Chi Ye knew only the secret route of the Chi Clan, which led to the Chi Clan’s Emperor’s Mausoleum. Chen Mu had entered the Demon Thirteen Tombs before and killed a demon king. Chen Mu knew at least one secret route, and his delay in entering the Demon Thirteen Tombs was clearly to stall for time.

Additionally, the so-called Emperor Demon Veins of the Demon Thirteen Tombs were not just singular.

Emperor Demon Veins were merely a general term; they were like a wide river, and the Emperor Demon Veins beneath the thirteen Demon Clan Imperial Mausoleums converged like its small streams.

Even if Di Shen and others entered the Thirteen Tombs with Chi Ye’s help, to complete the Alliance Hierarch’s mission, they must destroy all thirteen Emperor Demon Veins, which could not be accomplished in just a day or two.

Whichever representative team could destroy the most Emperor Demon Veins would be the ultimate winner of the Alliance Hierarch’s mission.

"So we should plan carefully and make sure we’re fully prepared before entering the Thirteen Tombs."

Tang Tiansong and Bo Qing, after listening, decided to discuss with Di Shen again, ensuring nothing would go wrong before entering the Demon Thirteen Tombs via the secret route.

Just as Di Shen and his team had guessed, Chen Mu and Jin Family’s representative team were also making similar plans.

"The secret route I know passes through a toxic area, incredibly poisonous, but somewhat predictable. The poison’s power is weakest on the first day of each month. That’s our best chance for entering the Demon Thirteen Tombs. The first is two days away; we must sneak in, keeping this from Huangquan and the Wuling Team."

Chen Mu, Jin Mu, Xi Jiuye, and others were strategizing.

"Brother Chen is right; let’s proceed as planned. When the time comes, I’ll have Brother Xi lead the way. Brother Xi, what do you think? Brother Xi?"

Jin Mu asked Xi Jiuye, but after a few questions, Xi Jiuye seemed to only just react.

Recent days had made Xi Jiuye appear somewhat agitated; even during meetings, his mind often wandered.

"Brother Xi seems to have something on his mind. Could it be that you’re worried about the child in your concubine’s belly?"

Chen Mu teased.

He was referring to Hong Mingyue.

Chen Mu had also paid attention to Hong Mingyue’s appearance before.

But after finding out Hong Mingyue wasn’t Ye Lingyue, Chen Mu lost interest in her.

Yet, Xi Jiuye keeping a woman who looked so much like the ’real’ Ye Lingyue at his side made Chen Mu suspicious.

It was better not to mention Hong Mingyue, as when brought up, Xi Jiuye’s expression turned even darker.

It was said that more women meant more trouble, and recently Xi Jiuye finally understood the truth of this saying.
