The Anarchic Consort c1-1376

by Warring Young Seven

  The corners of their lips carried an eerie smile as if they had come across something before their death.

  Ni Hu's facial expression changed instantly, and even his legs quivered. If it was not for the two disciples who led the way, he would be dead by now!

  It was a sense of fear that he had never experienced before, just like an invisible hand grasping Ni Hu's heart tightly, causing him to have difficulties in breathing!

  The other exorcists froze in fear at that instant, the overwhelming trepidation in their eyes showed the reflection of the dead bodies.

  Ni Biao was the fastest to react. He immediately dragged Ni Hu back at once, worried if anything would happen to his beloved son.

  A deafening silence reigned the scene.

  What induced their uneasiness was the fact that there was no premonition at all!

  Be it wraiths or ghosts, none of them were seen. All they did was merely pushing the door aside and both of them died for no reason.

  The expression of every exorcist turned strange. A tense atmosphere gradually spread across the crowd.

  "It's better for us to watch out." Someone tried to remind others. "The royal tomb is an ancient tomb with a thousand years of history. It is different from the usual tombs we have encountered, it's better not to move forward hastily."

  It was obvious that these words were directed toward the young master of the Ni family who intended to show off.

  Ni Biao was infuriated upon hearing it, yet he could not show it on his face. After all, it was true that they must not let down their guard in the current situation.

  "But, how did they die?"

  This made all the exorcists distraught with extreme fear.

  They were not afraid of ghosts or monsters, at least they could see them.

  Zhuge Yun looked toward Helian Wei Wei's side profile. For some unknown reason, his instincts told him that Brother Wei must have known the answer.

  Helian Wei Wei gave out a smile, indeed, she knew about it. "Methane gas is also known as poisonous gas. As the tomb was not open for such a long time, when the air volatilized, only methane gas which is harmful to the human body would be left behind. You'll fall for it if you don't watch out."

  A few casual words were more than enough to make the exorcists lay their eyes on her.

  "This person knows everything!"

  "Brilliant! Is he really an amateur? He doesn't look like it at all!"

  "His body does not have spiritual aura. Think about it carefully, the things he said are not written in the Art of Exorcism manual at all."

  "So, he doesn't know exorcism but knows well about the ancient tombs?"

  "I bet he knows more than that. Didn't you hear what Old Li said? If this person is around, there would be no need for him to follow this far. This means that his knowledge was on par with Old Li."

  "On par with Old Li?" Someone was astonished!

  They finally realized how powerful the Zhuge family was!

  Ni Biao's eyes squinted treacherously when no one was aware. It seemed like he would need to get rid of these three eyesores!

  All they knew was the Art of Eight Trigrams in terms of the graveyard, yet, they had humiliated the Ni family over and over again. These people would continue to be a pain in the neck if the Ni family did not get rid of them!

  He would not leave behind any obstacles that would block his way.

  Now is not the time to act, wait till we enter the graveyard. When each team starts to split up, I will let these three people have a taste of the Ni family's tricks!

  Even until now, Ni Biao still did not think that they would be a threat to him. Having knowledge about the tomb would certainly be an advantage to them. However, one would need spiritual energy and art of exorcism if they wished to reach the end of the journey. Yet, two out of three of them had no knowledge of cultivation.

  A team as such could only have a brief taste of glory in the beginning.

  Soon, they would wail miserably!

  Some exorcists thought of the same thing as Ni Biao. Aside from showing signs of admiration, they knew they needed to be more visionary. Hence, they did not join in the conversations, but instead, they fixed their gaze on the old tomb raider who was rather in the clouds. "Old Li, can we move forward already?"

  Just then, Old Li came to his senses. "Yes, let's go. Watch your steps."

  "Alright." Everyone kept their guard up even without Old Li's warning, not having even a bit of recklessness. They took slow and steady steps into the tomb one by one, purposely avoiding the corpses on the ground.

  It was quite spacious inside the graveyard. The place was magnificent just like an Underground Palace. Even the grounds they stepped on were made of stones, let alone those sculptures.

  "What are these?" Out of curiosity, one of the disciples of the Ni family stretched out his hand and pointed at an object which looked like a layer of black iron covering the sculpture. He did not know what it was even after looking at it for some time. All he could see was a faint glimmer of light emitting from it.

  Old Li shouted as soon as he saw it. "Don't touch it!"

  That disciple of the Ni family trembled out of fear and retrieved his hands in a flash!

  Chapter 759 - Mistaken For The Phoenix Girl

  "Those are carrion insects, don't touch them. Once you touch them, you can't get rid of them." Old Li spoke in a low voice, making others feel the heaviness in his tone.

  The exorcists stayed silent once again.

  Ni Feng, the Eldest Young Lady of the Ni family who remained quiet all the time expressed her thoughts at this moment in a tender voice, "Old Li, are you referring to corpse bugs?"

  "That's right." Old Li turned his head, looking as though he ran into a silver lining. "I can't believe Young Lady Ni knew about the corpse bugs as well. You are indeed knowledgeable!"

  Ni Feng smiled gently, the translucent white silk covering her face revealed an apparent beauty essence of a celestial being. "It's nothing. As an exorcist, it's common knowledge."

  Old Li knew that she was acting humble. Judging from the reaction of the exorcists around him, he could tell that the usual graveyard would not have corpse bugs due to two reasons, one was because the tomb was not dug deep enough and second, the timespan was not long enough.

  It is unusual for her to know about this as only the frequent tomb raiders would get a chance to come in contact with corpse bugs directly.

  Old Li dismissed the suspicious thoughts he had in his mind earlier.

  The real reincarnation of Phoenix Girl was standing right before him, yet he still felt that the young man with fine and pure chiseled features was more alike the benefactor that appeared in his dream.

  This...must be due to the signs of aging, causing his brain to be muddled up.

  Old Li shook his head, not responding further. He stepped forward and lifted up the torch in his hand to illuminate the path in front of them, leaving behind a group of exorcists admiring Ni Feng.

  "You deserve to be called the Phoenix Girl. You even know about this. If you manage to seize the Sarira this time, our team will give in willingly. Even if we end up being defeated by Young Lady Ni, we will still consider this a worthwhile trip."

  Upon witnessing the scene, Ni Hu who was looking pale showed a smile on his face immediately, feeling smug, with the tip of his eyebrows betraying him. He sneaked a peek at Helian Wei Wei and others before speaking leisurely, "My sister is knowledgeable but keeps a low profile. Unlike some other people here, who only know a little but keep showing off. Perhaps they are only good at talking but would be scared to death later when we really face a situation. Just like these corpse bugs, maybe some people are still having a headache, thinking of how to get rid of them."

  Everyone could tell who he meant based on his words.

  The exorcists had to admit that Ni Hu made a point with his statement. After all, the incident just now was due to the environmental factors of the ancient tomb, allowing Zhuge Yun's team to app
ear smarter in front of others. In actual fact, no one had ever witnessed them showing their abilities.

  However, Helian Wei Wei's team did not seem to be bothered by Ni Hu's insults, especially His Highness. His field of vision could only occupy Helian Wei Wei and her alone. As for the other human beings, they were only dispensable food, even their souls did not even intrigue him to ruin them for they did not smell good.

  Helian Wei Wei could not understand the reason why the facial expression of His Highness was similar to that of a picky cat. His appearance had a dignified aura surrounding him that spoke of elegance and arrogance, appearing like the younger him, the little and adorable His Highness. She felt the urge to carry him in her hands and pinch his face.

  Baili Jia Jue was baffled with her pinching him. He raised his eyebrows slightly, exposing his devilishness. "It seems like you want me to help you cut your claws again, don't you?"

  Helian Wei Wei's bright yet clear eyes carried a hint of a playful smile. "No, I feel like kissing you but we are surrounded by the crowd." As she was aware that His Highness disliked being watched by others, thus, she was not worried about a 'sneak attack' by him. Therefore, she would have to make good use of the chance to flirt wantonly.

  "You seem to be very pleased?" Baili Jia Jue showed a smile on his face, his deep voice emanated a hint of s.e.xiness.

  "Uh-huh." Helian Wei Wei continued to move forward in a pleasant mood, assuming that His Highness would not get an opportunity to do anything to her. This retrieved her fond memory of teasing the little His Highness back then.

  Baili Jia Jue did not stop her, he only bent his body a little. From the side angle, it looked perfectly fine but in fact, he was already very close to Helian Wei Wei. His long and thick eyelashes formed a shadow following his movements, filled with enchantment. "Just you wait. Wait till there is no one, by then I will fulfill your wish."

  Helian Wei Wei's body stiffened.

  Wasn't I who was teasing him? Why does it feel like the other way round now?

  Moreover, as far as she was concerned, His Highness was someone who walked the talk.

  "Ahem." Helian Wei Wei lowered her voice, using a volume where only the two of them could hear, saying, "Actually, it's not a must to accomplish this matter."

  "How can it be? As a demon pet of my owner." Baili Jia Jue gradually raised his last tone, exuding a sense of abstinence from head to toe. "Of course, I have to satisfy the need of the owner at all times."

  Helian Wei Wei thought to herself. That being said, he's going to kiss me anyway.

  No, that's not right.

  After all, Young Master Yun will continue to tag along with us.

  I don't see that His Highness will have a chance to make a move…

  "Our Mother trusted the character of our Father too much." The smaller fetus woke up gradually as he heard the noises from outside. His feeble voice was accompanied by a hint of a smile.

  The bigger fetus stretched out his hands to protect the smaller one, responded back indifferently with a question, "Does our Father possess morality?"

  The smaller fetus was rendered speechless.

  Brother indeed dislikes our Father for he has started to insult him badly…

  Unlike the family of four who was enjoying the overflowing happiness, the others were like headless flies, stood still in their original position not knowing which way to proceed.

  Nevertheless, at this point, someone yelled all of a sudden, "Where is Xiao Zi and Guo Zi? Where...where are they?"

  Xiao Zi and Guo Zi were the two disciples of the Ni family who had died not long ago.

  Upon hearing the voice, Helian Wei Wei turned her head over immediately. The two corpses that were lying on the ground had seriously disappeared, leaving no trace behind.

  How come they went missing? Could it be possible that they are other people in the graveyard other than us?

  Or perhaps, they turned into moving corpses?

  But even so, a moving corpse would still reveal one's shadow, isn't it?

  Where are they then?

  One question after another popped up.

  The experienced exorcists were not worried at all. After all, if they really turned into moving corpses, they had the Chinese talismans with them to deal with this situation.

  Chapter 760 - His Highness Was Terrifyingly Cool!

  "What was that sound?" Ni Hu was already terrified, and now that he heard the noise, he retreated and looked toward the direction of the sound.

  The exorcists gradually widened their eyes, yelling loudly, "These are corpse bugs! Hurry up and stay away from them!"

  Ni Hu noticed it as well. Within 10 centimeters away from him, a black insect that was initially resting on the stone sculpture was awakened. It stretched out its stiff antennas like two sharp daggers, moving as fast as lightning toward him!

  Ni Hu was shocked to death with his legs turned to jelly. He could only support himself on the ground using both his hands. He kept retreating as if fleeing for life. As he moved backward, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Dad, save me!"

  The look of being frightened out of his wits was too pathetic to behold!

  Ni Biao was quite a distance away from him so he could not help him in time.

  The exorcists who were closest to Ni Hu had no time to care about victory. They could not bear to see Ni Hu lose his life.

  They flung the Dog Blood Red Rope in their hands and lifted Ni Hu up. Then, with a hard pull, they managed to prevent him from the risk of being disemboweled by the corpse bug.

  Ni Hu could not relax his mind right away because the corpse bug aimed at him and he could not find a way to get rid of it.

  If it was not for Ni Feng who reminded him to burn the Chinese talisman, he probably could not think of a measure yet.

  After Ni Hu found a way to tackle the issue, he was not afraid anymore. He fetched out the Chinese talismans all at once, ignited them with his spiritual aura and threw them toward the corpse bug!

  A rustling sound echoed in the air!

  He lit up the whole corpse bug. Since it was a thing in the graveyard, hence, it would be destroyed easily with spiritual fire. Listening to the crackling sound of burning, Ni Hu heaved a sigh of relief, turning jelly on the ground.

  Yet, Old Li let out a wail at this moment, mumbling to himself, "Sh*t, sh*t!"

  Ni Hu did not get a chance to ask about the problem encountered.

  He could only see a huge mass of black matter surging toward him like a rapid flow of water behind the corpse bug that he had burnt to death, accompanied by hair-raising creaking sounds.

  Ni Hu was scared stiff. He slowly widened his eyes, his calves started jerking violently, losing count of the number of times he swallowed his saliva.

  A person was said to be able to bring out his or her ultimate potential for the sake of survival. Similarly, in the case of Ni Hu, he ran quickly to the back without hesitation.

  Moreover, Baili Jia Jue was just standing right behind him. Thus, if he ran past this man, the corpse bugs approaching him would then feed on this immensely arrogant man!

  In this regard, no one would perceive him as someone who was good for nothing!

  To save his own life, Ni Hu's mind was filled with extreme malicious thoughts.

  His act of running caused confusion among the exorcists, hence they quickly scattered around the area!

  Everyone held a Chinese talisman in their hands. Ni Hu ran fast until his head was drenched with sweat. He only slowed down after he had run past Baili Jia Jue and swiftly hiding at the side, placing both his palms on his knees. He gasped for breath as he fixed his gaze on Baili Jia Jue who was about to face the mass of corpse bugs with the corner of his lips curving up. I don't believe that I can't get rid of all of you this time!

  "Brother Jue!" Zhuge Yun's eyes open wide, having the urge to dash over with his mahogany sword!

  However, there was no time left.

  The corpse bugs came too quick and fierce, getting real
close to the side of Baili Jia Jue's legs!

  It was too late for the exorcists to rescue him!

  "Brother Jue!" Zhuge Yun shrieked!

  Everyone thought that Baili Jia Jue would be dead for sure this time around. They began to reveal a sense of sympathy in their eyes.

  Yet, Baili Jia Jue brought a smile to his face. He looked increasingly stunning under the brilliant light of the torch and simultaneously more and more malicious, appearing as though the equinox flowers blooming across the magical realm.

  His dashing look was beyond comparison.

  He leisurely lifted his head up, his lower jaw appeared like a peaceful bay, his usual cool and elegant aura caused others hard to get their eyes off him.

  The black feathers that symbolized sins, gloominess and greed fell down consecutively without anyone realizing it.

  The song of the demon was playing along with his long robe drifted in the air as though it could envelop the stars in full view.

  The wind blew in all directions, messing up Baili Jia Jue's black-ink hair. He stood just right there, refused to enslave. His indifference and superiority carried a sense of devilishness, emanating a dark aura that was invisible to humans.

  Looking at the surging group of corpse bugs, his eyes squinted with his white robe fluttering. The words uttered by him were full of warnings as he broke the silence in the graveyard, "Get lost!"

  With a mere phrase, it was enough to let the exorcists witness an incredible scene!

  The exorcists were all flabbergasted!

  They felt as though they were having a dream.

  How powerful does one's spiritual energy need to be in order to defeat without a fight, not having to move an inch to tame all the corpse bugs?

  "No way! How could this be?"

  "Has he done anything in particular?"

  "No, he only said a single phrase, 'Get lost'!"

  Zhuge Yun who was agitated tugged on Helian Wei Wei's sleeve. "Brother Wei, did you see that! Brother Jue only has to say the phrase, 'Get lost!' and all the corpse bugs were all gone out of trepidation as though they could comprehend his words!"
