"Id*ot." Baili Jia Jue laughed with a low tone. He then went near her ear as his warmth along with numbness hit the back of her neck. "You are right, it's not possible for me to not tie you up after seeing you, I need to give you a lesson."
They had been in a relationship for quite some time, thus, Helian Wei Wei knew clearly what he meant by saying that. Her face started to blush, and she turned away to avoid catching sight of his captivating smile. She then turned the topic away. "It's weird."
"What's weird?" Baili Jia Jue held Helian Wei Wei's hand as if there was no one around.
In fact, no one would overhear their conversation because they were all busy worshipping Ni Feng.
Helian Wei Wei looked around and did not forget to answer Baili Jia Jue's question. "Logically speaking, one of us is an exorcist and the other is a demon, we should have battled before. Even if we did not battle one another, we should have met. After all, we are opposing parties, but why did it sound like it was quite peaceful for us?"
Indeed, his little thing, smart enough to figure out all the problems.
Chapter 756 - Looking Down On The Third Prince?
Perhaps it was just as the Son of the King of Hell had mentioned earlier, both of them knew each other from before.
At least, she recognized him, otherwise, she would not stand behind him, watching him leave.
Baili Jia Jue's beautiful eyes deepened. If they seriously knew each other, then it must have happened before he had fallen from heaven.
"What's wrong?" Helian Wei Wei observed the side view of his face. "Is it that difficult for you to answer? I thought it would be a love-hate relationship between us, an exorcist and a devil, what a remarkable subject matter!"
Baili Jia Jue smiled, "An exorcist? That's the perception of ordinary human beings. You were actually not a human back then."
"Not human? Then what was I?" Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows.
Baili Jia Jue answered her with a faint tone, "God."
A fire phoenix, born from Nirvana.
A person with such dharma could have high chances to be related to God descending to earth.
Helian Wei Wei was even more puzzled, she then mumbled, "If I was a God, I would have tracked you down to attack you. How could it be possible that we have not battled before? What a waste of such a great opportunity!"
"Do you really want to fight me?" Baili Jia Jue suddenly turned around and kissed her ear when no one was watching; it was a quick, soft touch. "Sure, but if you lose, I'll punish you as I like."
Helian Wei Wei kept silent as her face turned red.
When Zhuge Yun turned around, his face was filled with confusion. Did something happen?
Helian Wei Wei coughed lightly and kept on walking forward with a sluggish face.
Baili Jia Jue, on the other hand, seemed to be in a better mood as he revealed a smile on the corner of his lips. The light from the fire torches was reflected in his eyes, forming a diamond-like texture on the skin and dim gold color of evilness came into sight.
Zhuge Yun shook his head. I must have been mistaken, how could a person like him have magic?
However, Zhuge Yun who was merely a human being was not aware that demons possessed great imitation skills.
They had learned about the human's obsession with greed to the fullest since the first day they set foot in the human world.
This was the reason why their expert demons could disguise perfectly as a gentleman.
Yet, the young and inexperienced Zhuge Yun did not pay too much attention to it and continued walking along with the troupe.
Everyone intentionally avoided the ancient black wooden coffin.
The old man was right, the ancient coffin was indeed strange.
The coffin was full of marks with a Chinese talisman pasted on top of it. Judging from the Chinese talisman, one could tell that it seemed to be from ancient times. If it was not for the Demon Binding Frost Iron Chain, the Chinese talisman would have been washed off by water long ago. Luckily, exorcism was able to resist external forces.
Even so, everyone should not let down their guards.
Not knowing if it was Ni Hu's illusion, he could feel that the ancient black wooden coffin turned its direction along with their walking route.
Finally, they walked past Yin River and reached the distance where they could push open the tomb door for real.
At this moment in time, Ni Hu rolled his eyes, plotting a sinister plan in his mind. "Brother Yun, since you all have arrived earlier than us, then supposedly, aren't you all responsible for opening the main entrance of the tomb?
"What?" Zhuge Yun did not expect Ni Hu to put in such a request out of the blue.
Ni Biao was mindful of his beloved son's intention. He then sneaked a glance at both sides and the two disciples from the Ni family immediately kept away the Dog Blood Red Rope and the Binding Frost Iron Chain that they had prepared earlier.
Ni Hu laughed arrogantly, "What's wrong? Are you afraid, Brother Yun? That's impossible, wasn't your team the first to arrive at the entrance? How could you be afraid of opening a mere door?"
Zhuge Yun knew that Ni Hu did it on purpose.
Every exorcist was mindful of how risky it was for the first person who chose to open the tomb door as the methane gas from the ground would gush out all at once. If the exorcist was not filled with spiritual aura, it was very likely that this person would die due to the gas.
More importantly, this was no ordinary graveyard, but a millennium-old royal tomb.
No one had any idea what would happen once the tomb door was open.
"Brother Yun, we are all waiting for you. Hurry up, we are running out of time." Ni Hu gloated as he urged him, waiting to watch Helian Wei Wei and others embarrassed themselves.
Regardless of the fact that Zhuge Yun was equipped with the strongest spiritual aura among the ones in the same generation, Ni Hu was well-aware of the extent of Zhuge Yun's power.
His d.e.s.i.r.e to break open the tomb with his power was almost impossible, hence there was a high possibility that he would get himself in great danger.
As for the other two amateurs, they were not within Ni Hu's consideration. Being able to fight did not mean that they would have the capability to resist the strange tomb. Judging from their empty hands without Chinese talisman or Dog Blood Red Rope, one could tell that they were not qualified exorcists at all. They were apparently here to look for death!
He was not afraid that Zhuge Yun would reject his request.
If he chose to reject, the round where the Zhuge family came first would be counted as nothing.
The Ni family was at an advantage in this matter.
After all, it was the regulation of the competition, despite other exorcists knowing that Ni Hu's actions were unethical.
However, competition would always be a competition.
The competitor must be able to abide by the rules, no point competing if one did not have the means to accept the victory.
Zhuge Yun looked at Ni Hu's provocative look, knowing that he must accept it. "Fine, but I have a request. It is just opening a tomb door anyway, I shall go alone. My two other teammates would stay out of it."
"Of course, I am not such an unreasonable person as long as Brother Yun, you adhere to the competition rules and open the tomb door." Ni Hu sneered in his heart. All he wanted was one of them to die, as for the remaining two, there was still time, he was not in a hurry at all.
Zhuge Yun bit his lips and was about to move forward with his mahogany sword.
A slender figure went ahead to block his way. It was a tall and upright figure with an aura filled with abstinence. "I'll open it."
Zhuge Yun startled and was about to refuse.
However, His Highness was always a person who would act in his own ways, not giving anyone a chance to speak.
He just walked toward it slowly with his lips slightly curved, resembling a smile.
Ni Hu felt a shiver down his spine the moment he mad
e eye contact with His Highness.
Not sure whether it was the rays of light from the graveyard or his skin was overly pale, or perhaps it was due to the matching of his white and blue attire, the expression in his eyes was dull, although the pupils reflected bright golden light.
Ni Hu was baffled, why did the man appear as though he was excited?
"It's best if he didn't know anything," Ni Biao smiled and said with hints of sarcasm in his words. "He doesn't even know what would happen if he were to push open the tomb door. He still has room to act wildly and accept challenges, unlike old people like us, we could not possibly take on something which we could not accomplish."
Upon finishing his words, he even looked as if he was worried about Baili Jia Jue as he shook his head with sympathy. He seemed to have expected that Baili Jia Jue would not be able to make it out alive.
The other exorcists thought so too, thinking that it was not an easy task, thus, an outsider would definitely not have the capability to pull it off.
Chapter 757 - His Highness’ Cool Slap In The Face
"Brother Wei." Zhuge Yun looked at Helian Wei Wei anxiously. "Could you please ask Brother Jue to come back? Opening the tomb door isn't an easy task, let me go instead. If I were to go, there is at least a slim chance of survival."
Helian Wei Wei laughed as she said, "Yun, you have to learn to trust your teammates."
Zhuge Yun was rendered speechless, not only did he have trust in him, strictly speaking, he was even afraid of Brother Jue. If not, he would not have asked Brother Wei to persuade him.
"No worries." Helian Wei Wei patted the young man's shoulder. "It's nothing more than opening a door."
Zhuge Yun was about to yell. What do you mean by just a door? This was not their home, it was a graveyard, a millennium-old royal tomb!
Zhuge Yun knew if Brother Wei remained silent, Brother Jue would possibly not return. His face turned pale out of distress as he grabbed the mahogany sword in his hand even tighter.
Ni Hu was relieved from sulking after watching this scene. The smile on the corner of his lips became broader, waiting to see Zhuge Yun's team bawl!
Yet, Baili Jia Jue paid no attention to him. Strands of long wavy hair cascaded straight down his cloak, sweeping past the icy stairs, appearing as deep as dark night.
He raised his hand casually under the dim light coming from the torch. His white teeth brushed through his black gloves to pull it tight. His good-looking and pure facial features carried a faint arrogant smile. It was just a normal gesture, yet, he was able to give out an aura of indomitable superiority, just like the nobles that would only appear in the Emperor Motion Pictures.
Helian Wei Wei laid her eyes on him. Never had she ever felt as though he was an absolute devil like this moment in time.
Bewildering one's eyes, deluding one's heart.
It seemed like his demon nature became even more intense after he arrived at the ancient tomb.
That overbearing and omnipotent manner became increasingly stronger.
However, no one knew that in actual fact, Ni Hu treated him as a rather good-looking kept man in his eyes.
All the exorcists took a step back, thinking that he might need to do something to open the tomb.
However, Baili Jia Jue did nothing much. He brought a smile to his face and pressed on the tomb door with his fingers in black gloves.
Cl.u.s.ters of black-colored feathers emerged and drifted to the sky, producing prolonged howling sounds.
The feathers flying in the sky fell as though they came to life.
As the exorcists were all shocked, they held up their mahogany swords and pointed toward the tomb entrance!
Only Baili Jia Jue's tall figure remained still. He spread his long legs and walked out of the cl.u.s.ters of feathers. Following the feathers falling onto the ground, everything inside the ancient tomb tried to keep away from him and became his background.
The color of black arose, occupying the clear sky.
He stood under the shadow of the feathers, revealing an expression that looked like a smile. A smooth curve that appeared on his chin reminded Helian Wei Wei of a scene in the magical realm where she once encountered him.
Flowers bloomed in every corner within 9980 miles.
He walked in with an upright posture, the fluttering of his long robe in the air was more than enough to make countless magical beings' hair stand on end.
From the way he acted at the moment, one could tell that he was truly the ruler of darkness.
If compared to Baili Jia Jue's elegant and calm disposition, the others were not in their right minds. They withdrew their swords and started getting rid of the weird feathers as they were afraid of coming in contact with anything filthy.
Out of their expectation, the feathers disappeared in the air, leaving no trace behind just as they lifted their hands.
"What's the matter?" Ni Hu had never come across such a strange situation. He trembled out of trepidation as he thought that the feathers had penetrated his body.
Although these people are all exorcists, they were also ancient people. All they could think about were the ghost spirits but nothing else.
Once they realized that their Taoist art was of no use, for sure they were put on edge.
Ni Biao remained a normal expression on his face, however, the rest of them could not hide their fear on their faces.
The fact that Baili Jia Jue was still alive was something that was beyond belief to them!
Moreover, there was not even a single scar on him!
How could it be?
Ni Hu stared at Baili Jia Jue with his eyes wide open. "You, how come nothing happened to you at all!" Even if it was him, he was not sure whether he could make it out alive. Yet, Baili Jia Jue did it just as easy as one would only need to open a door!
Ni Hu had never been belittled by anyone before. His voice became hoarse as he uttered, "You must have done some tricks, or maybe you were possessed by the evil spirits of the feathers, that's why…"
"Young Master Ni," Helian Wei Wei interrupted with a dull voice before Ni Hu finished speaking. "The feathers you spoke of don't exist at all, it is something that was bound to happen when you open up an ancient tomb. Once the millennium-old mural inside the ancient tomb gets into contact with the air, the paint on it would fall off and start to volatilize, creating an intriguing reaction with the air. It would then appear in front of a person's eyes as if it really came into life but it's just an illusion. If not, why would the feathers disappear for no reason in an instant? Young Master Ni, next time, before you doubt others, please do use your brain to think carefully first and have a look at what is on the walls of the graveyard."
The exorcists then saw the feathers engraved on the walls after it was mentioned by Helian Wei Wei.
Everyone burst into laughter.
Obviously, they chortled due to Ni Hu's remark.
Ni Hu's face went red but there was nothing he could say to refute Helian Wei Wei. All he could do was stay put, hoping badly that he could take back the words he had mentioned earlier!
The exorcists could not stop from laughing.
However, thinking about it now, even the exorcists themselves were in a state of panic, let alone others.
The only person who was calm and composed from the beginning to the end was none other than the Eldest Young Lady from the Ni family in the distance and the two foreign exorcists.
Is this something that an ordinary person would know?
To everyone's surprise, the old tomb raider replied in the affirmative, "This young master is right. The illusion during the opening of the tomb just now is a situation that we would sometimes come across during tomb raiding."
If this person did not mention it, he would have forgotten it long ago. This tomb raider was indeed unfit for the job. What a shame!
"Not at all, I only know the basics, we still need you to be around." Helian Wei Wei was always polite and courteous. She then bowed her head toward
the direction of the old man in a respectful and considerate manner.
The old tomb raider was absent-minded again in a wink. Alike, indeed alike...
Chapter 758 - Looking For Trouble
At this point, upon hearing the old man's remark, the exorcists started to discuss among themselves. "This person from the family of Zhuge Yun is fantastic. I thought they were merely lucky to be the first to arrive at the place. Their capability is definitely on par with the Ni family from the looks of it now, how astonishing!"
"Of course, even Old Li acknowledges them!" The exorcists' increased the volume of their voice.
Ni Hu was displeased upon hearing their conversations. Thinking of the way he was made fun of just a moment ago and looking at how everyone was treating Zhuge Yun and others like heroes, an intense feeling of discontent engulfed his brain!
"All he did was just opening the tomb door, what's so great about it." Ni Hu took a step forward along with his servants by the side while saying so. "Any disciples from the Ni family would be able to do so anyway."
"You..." Zhuge Yun got irritated and was about to walk toward him but Helian Wei Wei extended her arm to block his way.
Zhuge Yun turned his head around out of bewilderment.
Helian Wei Wei put on a rather meaningful smile. "Leave them to it."
"Why?" It was them who opened the tomb door first. Zhuge Yun was even more perplexed now; he raised his arm and scratched the back of his head.
Ni Hu swaggered his way forward. The two disciples of the Ni family by his left and right side thought nothing was going to happen so they pushed the other door aside without hesitation.
Ni Hu was still grinning as he fixed his gaze at Helian Wei Wei and the rest with eyes filled with disdain...
Unexpectedly, the two disciples of the Ni family were bewitched in a blink of an eye and fell forward right away!
