Helian Wei Wei stroked her nose, thinking about the incident at the Well Sea Waterfall. He only needed to say a single phrase, 'Get lost!' to frighten the so-called great magical being to death.
What a pitiful magical being, it's probably hiding in the underwater, afraid of stirring up trouble now.
Nevertheless, it was not stirring up trouble, not just because of its fear, but it was also due to the fact that it was grooming itself.
Indeed, it was grooming itself.
The aquatic magical being neither fish nor fowl was staring at the bronze mirror in the underwater. It thought if it would be able to meet its King again, the excitement in its heart would surely be inexplicable with words!
As long as the King does not destroy me into ashes, I'm willing to accept any punishments!
The magical being nodded at itself in the mirror, I seriously find myself too adorable!
Unknowingly, at this moment in time, before the corpse bugs in the graveyard had the chance to have a clearer picture of the identity of the man standing before them, their bodies were already in pain due to the pressure from the powerful magic.
Aren't they all humans?
Why is there a fake one?
The corpse bugs seemed to have encountered a formidable opponent so they were trying to run away in panic. They rushed back to their original position in an orderly and systematic manner.
They were afraid to be crushed by the man's foot if they escaped too late!
Oh my god, that's too scary!
Helian Wei Wei also thought that the damage that His Highness had caused the magical beings was up to an indomitable yet brutal point.
Looking at Zhuge Yun who has already positioned himself nicely, you should have waited for him to kill at least one corpse bug before chasing them away…
Chapter 761 - How Shameless
The work here had not begun, yet it was already over on the other side.
This quote was just right to describe the Ni family.
At first, they were preparing to show off their exorcism skills after the corpse bugs swept past.
Neither the disciples of Ni family nor Ni Biao himself could ever imagine the terrifying scene that had occurred just now!
Ni Hu even stood still and mumbled to himself, "This is impossible! How can this be possible?"
Even Old Li was stunned himself. Although he had lived half his lifetime robbing many tombs, he had never seen someone who could use a single phrase, 'Get lost!' to get rid of the corpse bugs. It was indeed remarkable!
Baili Jia Jue did not feel anything wrong as he walked toward Helian Wei Wei. His pair of slender hands were not contaminated by a tiny bit of dust. The exquisite and elegant piped edge along his sleeves and collar served as a foil to his tall and upright posture.
Compared to Baili Jia Jue's elegant posture, Ni Hu's action just now was not even up to scratch.
It would be fine if he stayed silent. After his mumbling, the exorcists from other teams all turned around and looked at him with obvious sarcasm in their glance.
The words by Ni Hu before the corpse bugs awakened were still vivid in their minds.
He relied on his sister who was the reincarnated Phoenix Girl and looked down upon everyone by saying, "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."
Consequently, the one who was only good at talking but was scared to death turned out to be him.
After this incident, the other exorcists had seen Ni Hu's true color. Regardless of what he was going to say later, no one would hardly put their trust in him anymore. All of them looked at him with disdain.
Ni Hu opened his mouth but kept his words back to himself.
He also realized his situation right now and felt rather awkward due to embarrassment for a moment.
Ni Biao's eyes clouded over in the extreme.
Obviously, Baili Jia Jue's capability was stronger than he expected.
If they failed to get rid of Zhuge Yun's team anytime soon, it would be troublesome to divide the Sarira when they obtained it.
It seems like I have no choice but to use some tricks.
Then, Ni Biao moved his eyes and gave a hint to his assistant who was skulking in the other team. That assistant immediately understood his meaning and nodded slightly.
Thinking about it carefully, Zhuge Yun did nothing much.
In comparison, the two so-called amateurs in exorcism, one was master in ancient tombs while another had great capabilities.
When these two people grouped together, it was indeed like a match made in heaven!
"Young Master Yun, where did you find such excellent masters from? Are they bounty exorcists? Isn't that expensive?"
Listening to people questioning in admiration, Zhuge Yun was more or less speechless. He scrubbed his head and was too shy to answer because even until now, he only knew the names of his benefactors. Other than that, he did not even know where they came from…
Baili Jia Jue's performance not only attracted the exorcists and made them cheerful, but had also attracted Ni Feng's attention.
In fact, she had already noticed this man at the very beginning.
She had seen many exorcists but she had never seen anyone like him who was handsome and powerful enough to impress others.
Thinking of this, Ni Feng's face which was covered under the white silk turned red.
Unfortunately, he was not in the team of Ni Family.
However, it was fine, when the time came, she would spare his life.
For the rest, she would take the lives of all that were supposed to die, especially the one who always stood next to Baili Jia Jue and showed off his knowledge!
"Alright, now there are four paths, we are going to choose one of them. Which one do you all think is the best?" Old Li turned around and asked the exorcists behind him.
The exorcists had no idea as they stared at one another and could not come to a consensus.
Zhuge Yun thought that it would be most secure to get the answer from the one who stood next to him when they faced this kind of trouble. He then lowered his voice and asked, "Brother Wei, which path do you think is the best?"
"South," Helian Wei Wei replied firmly in a very soft voice. The other exorcists definitely could not hear their conversations except those who were standing very close to them.
Zhuge Yun could not understand the reason behind it. "Why?" The others had a hard time making sense of their decision, yet why was she so sure?
Helian Wei Wei looked unconcerned. "The reason is simple. It is just simple reasoning. The place with so many corpse bugs must be the attendant tomb with the most corpses basically the servant girls. In places like this, the main coffin would not be placed here. Think about this, no king would be willing to place himself in a crowd. The coffins and corpses closest to him would be at most one or two. Thus, it would not be the East Gate."
"How about the West and North Gate? Why not them?" Zhuge Yun was interested to know more about the other reasonings after listening to Helian Wei Wei's reply.
Helian Wei Wei pointed her finger at the place where the two exorcists were killed. "This spot is the nearest to the West Gate. When we were looking at the statue, only the West Gate is a blind spot in vision. It is highly possible that the two disciples of the Ni family escaped from here after they became moving corpses. It's the gate that dead people entered, how can people who are still alive walk in? For the North Gate, according to Feng Shui, no one would like to face the North after death. You should know this as an exorcist yourself."
Zhuge Yun was speechless and depressed. Feng Shui really had the rule that 'North is unlucky and not suitable to place the coffin' but he had long forgotten about this simple common sense.
; Moreover, in such a situation, Brother Wei could even think of Feng Shui; he had to admit that he truly admired Brother Wei!
The main point was any ordinary person would not be able to consider every detail completely, not to mention noticing the blind spot in vision!
Even he would like to ask himself where he could call for these two masters! They were absolutely awesome!
While Zhuge Yun was in excitement, Eldest Young Lady Ni who stood a few steps behind him suddenly spoke in a comfortably soft and gentle voice, "South Gate is the best."
Zhuge Yun was shocked!
He immediately turned his head over and laid his eyes on Ni Feng!
Although I'm unwilling to admit it, this Eldest Young Lady Ni is really something.
Ni Feng let out a few coughs, appearing as though she had mulled over the issue before voicing out her opinion, "Because the area with lots of corpse bugs would surely have an abundance of corpses…"
Chapter 762 - Good Elder Fetus
"In places like this, it should be the attendant tomb for the servants to be buried with dead such as the servant girls. The main coffin would not be here as no king would willing to place himself in a crowd. The coffins and corpses closest to him would be at most one or two. Thus, it is surely not the East Gate... "
Zhuge Yun realized that the reasoning given by Ni Feng was unexpectedly similar to that of Brother Wei- the similarity level was up to 90 percent. At first, he thought that it was a mere coincidence.
Until the end of her speech, when Ni Feng talked about the reason for not choosing the West Gate, she used the term 'blind spot in vision'. He widened his eyes out of shock!
This, this was clearly what Brother Wei had mentioned a while ago!
Even if Zhuge Yun was young, he was not that dumb until he could not tell the exact situation at the moment!
The reason why Ni Feng knew that choosing South Gate is a better option is due to the fact she has overheard the conversation between Brother Wei and me!
In other words, she plagiarized Brother Wei's statement!
Zhuge Yun's eyes went red in fury. He rushed forward, wanting to confront Ni Feng but was promptly blocked by Helian Wei Wei.
"Brother Wei, why are you blocking me?" Zhuge Yun gritted his teeth in anger. "You have heard what Ni Feng has said too. She knew the answer because she overheard our conversation. Now, she takes all that as her own idea. How shameless!"
Helian Wei Wei was still steady and calm. "Do you have any evidence to prove that the idea was overheard from our conversation instead of her own if you were to confront her right now?"
Zhuge Yun was stunned by the question. True, what evidence do I have?
"The idea belongs to whoever saying it first." Helian Wei Wei looked unconcern with a smile on the corner of her lips. "Ni Feng is confident about this. That's why she is lying unscrupulously and does not fear of being exposed. You can see that they have already believed in Ni Feng by looking at their expressions. If you argue with her now, the others will only think that we are trying to take all the credit."
Zhuge Yun only noticed that not only the exorcists but even Old Li looked at Ni Feng with adoring gaze, treating her like a celestial being.
"This dishonest woman is surely not the reincarnation of Phoenix Girl!" Zhuge Yun exclaimed in rage. "The exorcist that I would like to encounter would never be someone like her! I really hope that the true Phoenix Girl can come over to expose this fake woman!"
Helian Wei Wei coughed a little and patted his shoulder with a meaningful smile. "Maybe your wish will be granted soon."
"How is it possible?" Zhuge Yun replied in a sour face then looked toward the direction of Ni Feng in anger!
Ni Feng was still as gentle as usual, seemingly that the reasoning was her own idea and had nothing to do with anyone else.
Ni Hu and Ni Biao were, of course, proud and excited. No matter how excellent the others were, they had the reincarnation of Phoenix Girl in their family!
Helian Wei Wei's eyes slightly squinted, observing the current situation. She started to contemplate carefully, thinking if she should really grant Zhuge Yun's wish.
"Of course!" The bigger fetus waved his little hand hard as proud as a peac.o.c.k. "Mother, this woman who fakes your identity is too gross, looking at her will affect my appetite."
The smaller fetus who was feeble opened its eyes, staring at its elder brother in admiration. Brother was always energetic, unlike him, who was not helpful at all to Mother. When he was born, he must work harder.
In the graveyard, the large troop entered via the South Gate. The journey was peaceful and almost nothing dangerous had occurred.
When they arrived at the second level, Helian Wei Wei moved her arm and felt like there was something heavy pressing her arm, making her hard to raise it.
Ni Biao felt that he could not wait any longer. If they were all led by her daughter, then they might arrive at the final destination all at once.
There was no reason for him to let others take advantage of this situation.
This was a contest about who could get the Sarira.
Since it was a contest, then all should play by the book.
"Everyone listens here," Ni Biao placed one hand behind his back and spoke like a gentleman, "Now, we are all safe at the second level of this graveyard. According to the contest rules, we should be allowed to choose our team again after we have reached the graveyard. If anyone would like to tag along with the Ni Family, then you can share the victory with us at the end. If you do not choose the Ni Family, we will be apart in different teams. There are now two gates in front of us, Old Li will write two pieces of papers, everyone will follow the team you choose to enter one of the gates."
The Four Factions only left three so far as one of them had no one left at all.
The exorcists were slowly getting exhausted as the millennium-old ancient tomb was totally different from the outside world where they just had to do the work of exorcism.
The team of 36 people initially comprised 27 disciples of the Ni Family.
Zhuge Family, of course, was a faction by themselves as they did not work together with the Ni Family.
To their surprise, the six people from the two other teams unexpectedly chose to side Helian Wei Wei and others.
Looking at the result, Ni Biao could only let out a sneer. Those who did not choose Ni family are genuinely seeking for death, they will never reach the main tomb!
Zhuge Yun was so excited, they had only three people when they departed but now it turned into nine. It was such an inexplicable feeling.
Zhuge Yun drew lots on behalf of Helian Wei Wei and her team and was assigned to enter the gate on the left.
Nine of them entered the gate one by one.
No mishap occurred.
The situation along the path was too peaceful.
This situation brought concern to others.
They had walked for an hour but the stone road before their eyes was like a tunnel without an end.
Helian Wei Wei frowned and stretched out her arm to mark on the big rock before moving forward.
This time was just like the previous time. Nothing happened at all.
Yet, the facial expression on Helian Wei Wei's face had changed.
She halted her steps and spoke with a faint tone, "We can stop walking."
"What?" Some exorcists questioned out of confusion.
Some other exorcists had realized the situation. "We really do not have to proceed anymore because we keep going round in circles."
It was too peaceful at the beginning and the peaceful situation made them lose their alertness. In addition, their physical and mental tiredness had also caused them to forget making marks along the way.
Only after seeing Helian Wei Wei labeled the rock, some of them started to realize and were shocked, having shivers down their spines. They lowered their voice and said, "We are probably lost as we keep going around in circles..."
Chapter 763 - To See In
A New Light
"What? Going around in circles?! Why didn't you say so earlier?!" the other exorcists shouted.
That exorcist spoke in a hoarse voice, "I have also just realized this. Keep your voice down. Take out your Chinese talisman, then spin yourself three times at your place before walking forward."
Going around in circles was not something difficult to solve.
However, it was frightening because they would be left forever in the place if they could not break through this obstacle. They would remain in the same place walking round and round for years.
Luckily, they were exorcists who knew how to face this kind of problem.
Everyone quickly opened their bags and prepared to cast their spells.
Then, they suddenly realized that the Chinese talismans in their bags were all gone!
"How can this be? Where are my Chinese talismans?"
"Mine is gone too!"
"Search again!"
"I still can't find any!"
Zhuge Yun raised his head, his face was sweating. The situation was clear: somebody played tricks on them by taking away their Chinese talismans.
"Who did this? Why did they do this?" Zhuge Yun punched the ground.
Helian Wei Wei was barely surprised. "This is a contest, of course, there would be many indecent tricks. Young Master Yun, you should get used to these things."
"I..." Zhuge Yun was always steady and calm but he had never thought of hurting anyone. Although he already knew the contest would not be easy, he never expected someone to be this despicable. In the tomb, taking all the Chinese talismans away meant to take their lives away!
Helian Wei Wei looked around her then stood up and patted the dust on her hands away. "There were nine of us when we departed, but there's only eight of us now. Someone must have noticed something wrong and escaped earlier. It seems like he has prepared well for this."
The exorcists somehow knew who did this trick. They must be someone from the Ni family or the Lin family. Only these two families would want to prevent the Zhuge family from obtaining victory. Usually, a method this cruel could only be ordered by the head of the family.
