  "You!" Zhuge Yun was going to say something but Helian Wei Wei raised her hand and gestured him to stop.

  Helien Wei Wei looked at him and smiled. "Young Master Yun, let me teach you how to deal with this kind of skilled actors. All you need to do is to take your time and think about what she said carefully. Is there any inconsistency in her words? Then..." Helian Wei Wei slowly raised the corners of her lips, exuding an air of evil, "You can defeat her with one strike!"

  Zhuge Yun failed to understand her.

  Helien Wei Wei let out a long sigh and said, "Fine, I'll do it. I'm the idol you admire after all."

  "I only admire the real Phoenix Girl," Zhuge Yun murmured softly. "Although I really want it to be you right now, the person whom I admire the most is still the real Phoenix Girl."

  Helian Wei Wei smiled upon hearing his last few words, but she did not say anything further to Zhuge Yun.

  Meanwhile, the bigger fetus in Helian Wei Wei's belly lifted his chin with pride. His voice was cool and soft. "How dumb is this young exorcist? Mother has said it out already, yet he still can't tell that Mother is the Phoenix Girl whom he idolizes. Human beings are really stupid."

  "Of course, they're nothing compared to brother." The smaller fetus responded softly with smiling eyes.

  The bigger fetus was very pleased at the smaller fetus' compliment. He leaned over and kissed the small fetus, making space for the small fetus to sense the situation outside.

  Right now, Helian Wei Wei was looking directly at Ni Feng, who was trying to whitewash the situation, and said, "Lady Ni, according to your own explanation, you were really sick at that time. So, I have a question for you, how could a person, who was so sick that she couldn't even get up from bed, be assigned to watch the zombies? Hmm?"

  Right, how could a person deal with zombies if she couldn't even get up from the bed?

  One sentence.

  That was all it took to make Ni Feng's version of the story fall apart!

  The exorcists were not stupid. Some people saw the light almost immediately. All of a sudden, Ni Feng found herself on the receiving end of suspicious gazes coming from every direction!

  Ni Feng clenched her hand tightly, gritting her teeth so tight she thought blood might come out. Never would she have expected this person to catch her tripping through a mere sentence she said.

  Normally, people would not analyze what she said word by word, just to see if there were contradictions in her words.

  Where did this person by the surname Wei actually come from?!

  Of course, Ni Feng could never imagine what kind of training did that person in front of her underwent in the 21st century. To have such meticulous mode of thinking, Helian Wei Wei's lawyer license was not for nothing!

  Helian Wei Wei looked at her and slowly added the most deadly sentence, "Since Lady Ni mentioned about the spiritual aura in your body, let's investigate it carefully to see whether if it's the real spiritual aura…"

  Chapter 792 - 798

  Ni Feng backed away in shocked upon hearing this.

  Ni Hu lifted his head as well, his vision was shaking. "What do you mean by this? Are you saying that the aura from my sister's body is not spiritual aura?"

  "Young Master Ni, you're still quite clever sometimes," Helian Wei Wei said while taking a candle from Zhuge Yun.

  Ni Hu could tell the tinge of sarcasm in her words. He sneered loudly, "You really racked your brains to accuse my sister. You even made up the fact that she did not have spiritual aura. Is there anyone here who can't feel my sister's spiritual aura? Brother Wei, please don't simply say that it doesn't exist just because you don't have the talent to sense it, okay?"

  "Lady Ni does have an aura." Helian Wei Wei raised her head and turned to look at Ni Hu. "However, it's not spiritual aura, but corpse's aura! Since Old Li said that Lady Ni is in poor health and can't take the risk to let her cast the Demon Killing Buddhist Incantation, let's examine her with a simple method now."

  Helian Wei Wei smiled at Old Li as she said, "This method is something Old Li is most familiar with. Before opening the coffin, professional grave robbers would light a candle and place it at the southeast corner. After that, they would only start robbing the grave. If the candle goes out, they must put the things back in place and respectfully give three kowtows. Then, they must quickly leave, empty-handed. This is where the saying came from, stop robbing the grave whenever a rooster crows or when the light goes out. The reason why the candle will go out is because of the huge amount of corpse's aura released by the corpse, it would be very dangerous for them to go on. If it was spiritual aura or living aura, it would not have any influence on the candle. We can get the same effect by sticking a yellow talisman on the candle to test Lady Ni's aura..."

  Upon saying that, Helian Wei Wei took a yellow talisman from one of the exorcist to encase the candle before lighting it. She passed it to Ni Feng, the corners of her lips slightly raised. "What do you think, Lady Ni? Do you want to bet whether the light will go out or continue to stay lit when you take the candle?"

  Ni Feng did not reach out to take the candle, she looked at Helian Wei Wei with sombre eyes instead. The expression on her face changed bit by bit, even her breathing became heavier. The noise made them feel uncomfortable, it sounded like a noise that would be made by a corpse lying in a coffin. The sound resonated deeper as it placed a weight on their hearts.

  "You, you really are..." Old Li, who was closest to Ni Feng, trembled at the sound. His lips were extremely pale. He could barely utter the two words, "A zombie?"

  "Hahaha, hahaha, I didn't expect, I really didn't expect that I would be exposed!" Ni Feng lowered her head and burst into laughter. Her laugh was gentle yet oppressive, giving off an indescribable sense of eeriness. "But it's not a big deal even if I'm exposed, because it's all too late, hahaha!"

  All the disciples from Ni family reached up to cover their ears. For some reason, they felt that the strange voice was coming out from their bodies!

  Dark aura began to spread from the corner of their eyes, corroding their entire eyeballs.

  "What is going on?!" Zhuge Yun yelled. He was the first person to pull out the Mahogany Sword.

  The remaining six or seven people did the same and pointed their scabbard at the mutated exorcists!

  However, they were too difficult to deal with. They were not only nimble, but also skilled with their movements. Baring their teeth and swiping their claws, they lunged toward some of the exorcists!

  They could no longer be considered as human beings. Rather, they somehow resembled monkeys, gnashing their teeth and biting on the shoulders of the other exorcists!

  One of them attempted to attack Helian Wei Wei. Before it could get close, it was thrown out to two meters away by a figure that suddenly appeared in front of it.

  His highness' movement was fast like a black shadow. With Helian Wei Wei as the base point, he was swiftly switching his position around. Before anyone could see how he kicked away the first 'monkey', he had already smashed the face of the third 'monkey' with his long legs. While at it, his figure was elegant, smooth and beautiful.

  The unmutated exorcists who stood aside were stunned.

  Helian Wei Wei ignored the 'monkeys' and focused directly on Ni Feng. She suddenly narrowed her long eyes and raised her left arm, beholding a silver handgun with a shooting range of seven meters. Forming a perfectly straight line between her target and herself, she aimed directly at Ni Feng's head without any deviation!

  Bang!

  If it weren't for the intervention of a white-robed figure who shielded Ni Feng, Helian Wei Wei would have busted open her head with one shot.

  "Young Master!" Ni Feng saw the oozing blood and cried out involuntarily.

  The figure did not hesitate, he embraced her with his injured arm while glowering at Helian Wei Wei with his dark eyes. He gave a quick push against the ground with the heel of his foot which sent them hiding into endless darkness.

  Next came a d
ense pack of mutated exorcists who were blocking the entrance of the cave. All of them bared their teeth and swung their claws like cannibalistic zombies.

  Without any hesitation, Helian Wei Wei shot out five of the six bullets she had. Apart from the first shot, all her other shots hit the 'monkeys' in the head.

  Headshot!

  All of them collapsed in a row.

  The last shot killed three of them at once. The exorcists were completely dumbfounded as they witness the blood splattering.

  That's it?

  Have they been wiped out?

  The enemies were killed with a few bangs!

  Helian Wei Wei did not react to their gazes. She reached out and pulled away the 'zombie' blocking the entrance of the cave. Looking into the endless darkness, she squinted her eyes. "That's not the direction to the Sarira."

  "One of them is injured and the other one is a corpse. Without the protection of spiritual aura from a real exorcist, they can't get close to the main coffin. Hence, they can't obtain the Sarira if they can't get close to the main coffin."

  Old Li wiped away the blood on his face and questioned, "The direction they went just now, could it be that they are trying to get that thing?"

  Helian Wei Wei looked at him and swiftly put away her silver handgun. She said in a flat voice, "What do you mean by thing? Old Li, it seems like you are keeping a lot of things from us. It's time to let everyone know how many secrets you are hiding regarding this competition. "

  "It's not that I intended to hide." Old Li gave a wry smile. "I really did not expect the Ni family to be so daring to cheat the reincarnation of the Phoenix Girl. I told the Ni family about the royal tomb. Other than the Sarira, there is another thing in this graveyard that can revive the dead. However, it's different from the Sarira. Once it's used, it'll awaken all the demons in the graveyard from their slumber. By then, we will most probably die in this ancient tomb..."

  Chapter 793 - Total Revelation

  "Which means they have given up on the Sarira and chose to find the thing that you mentioned?" Helian Wei Wei's mind was moving fast, even at this hour.

  Old Li nodded his head and said, "It's a magical mirror which allows one to pass through the Gate of Life and Death. Once it leaves the royal tomb, the road to the Underworld will be opened. After the ancient tomb falls into the enemy's hands, Exorcist City will be the next target."

  "Exorcist City mustn't fall into enemy hands! If the Exorcist City is gone, the Divine Exorcism Seal will be destroyed thoroughly! When that time comes, demons will be able to move around unhindered and the Six Dao of Reincarnation will be destroyed, there will be no leeway for humans!" Upon hearing this, Zhuge Yun could not help but shouted, "Why is there such a thing in the tomb?!"

  Old Li reached out to cover his face after hearing Zhuge Yun's words. "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have told them about this."

  "Old Li, you don't have to blame yourself," Helian Wei Wei said, her eyes beaming with faint light. "Even if you didn't tell them, they would've already known about the existence of the mirror in the royal tomb. Someone would definitely have figured out everything if he wanted to revive the former Ni Feng. Should they fail to obtain the Sarira, they will choose the second plan, this is the true reason as to why the Ni family wanted to enter the royal tomb." As she spoke, she turned her attention to the exorcists. "This is also the reason why Master Yun was trying to stop everyone at first, but he was uncertain about many things and could not explain clearly to all of you. Now that the truth has been laid out in front of you, it's pointless to look into the past to ascertain where the responsibility lies. I'll get the Sarira, as for the others, all the demons in this tomb will be awakened soon, we need to work together so that we can get out of here alive."

  All the exorcists nodded solemnly.

  On the contrary, Ni Hu did not move an inch. He seemed to be stupefied, staring at the corpse lying beside his feet.

  He was the only one from the Ni family who did not undergo mutation.

  However, he felt all the more miserable because he was still clear-headed.

  "How did this happen? It shouldn't be like this!" Ni Hu burst into tears, he looked like he was nearing death with his leg injury and the bite wound on his neck.

  Helian Wei Wei did not have the time to bother about him. She was never a saint. However, Ni Hu tugged at her trousers as she wanted to walk away. "There's no way my sister is a corpse, there must be a mistake! Maybe she became like this after eating the magical pill, just like my father! "

  "No." Helian Wei Wei knew that Ni Hu simply wanted the truth. She looked into his eyes, her voice was soft but loud enough for everyone to hear clearly. "She has been a corpse since the beginning, even your father was bewitched by her to eat the magical pill. Perhaps you didn't realize it yet, she disguised herself with the spiritual aura that she absorbed from your father. Your father knew using corpses to raise zombies would cause great resentment, but he did it anyway because he wanted to seize the whole Exorcist City. It's the same reason why he didn't stop you from bullying the Zhuge family, not to mention cooperating with other families to suppress them. He wanted to arrogate all powers to himself, but he didn't want his ambition to be known to the public. Owing to the fact that the exorcists wouldn't follow him into the tomb and would even deter him from entering once they learn about his intention. Of course, your father was being taken advantage of. He actually thought that he could obtain all the power and influence once he gets his hands on the Sarira. As a matter of fact, your sister just wanted to borrow his hands to complete the Art of Resurrection Against God. It will be the death of your father as soon as she gets the Sarira!"

  "I don't believe it, you are simply lying! For several generations, our Ni family always had only one descendant for each generation, of all our descendants, we never had a girl before. Once a baby girl is born, she would definitely be the reincarnation of the Phoenix Girl. The Phoenix Girl from back then was from the Ni family, that was the reason why my father named my sister as Ni Feng, because she's the Phoenix Girl! Do you know what it means to be a Phoenix Girl? She would never do the things you said!" Ni Hu was so agitated that he was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

  Helian Wei Wei suddenly halted as she was about to take a step. "In that case, let me tell you the truth. The Phoenix Girl has never been reincarnated in the Ni family, it's nothing but a lie made up by your ancestors for the sake of the interest it will bring!"

  Right at that moment.

  The entire ancient royal tomb fell into an unprecedented silence.

  Ni Hu's eyes widened in disbelief.

  Old Li also turned to look at Helian Wei Wei. "Young Brother Wei, I do not doubt your words. I'm just curious about how you knew the Ni family had lied back then? That was hundreds of years ago."

  "Old Li will naturally understand it after we obtain the Sarira." Without any hesitation, Helian Wei Wei walked into the last cave.

  Zhuge Yun followed behind her quickly, his voice was full of admiration. "Brother Wei, you are so amazing. You made the woman show her true colors by simply using a candle! Is there such a method written in the Art of Exorcism manual? I've never seen it before."

  "No." Helian Wei Wei made a slight pause upon saying that. "There's no such method, I just used it to save my time and goad her into going ballistic. In fact, be it a corpse or a human holding the candle, the fire on the candle won't go out if you don't blow at it."

  Zhuge Yun was speechless. So everything you said just now, which sounded so serious with concrete evidence, was nothing but a lie!

  Helian Wei Wei did not feel guilty at all. "Of course, you must use some tricks to win against this kind of skilled actors. Young man, you still have a long way to go, so you need to learn how to act according to circ.u.mstances."

  Both the bigger and smaller fetuses nodded heavily, it seemed like they agreed with their mother. That's right, as humans, we must know how to act according to circ.u.mstances!

  Zhuge Yun murm
ured, "If Ni Feng were to know that you were simply testing her and could not really verify her authenticity, perhaps she would regret it to the point of coughing up blood."

  "She wouldn't know as long as you don't tell hert…" Helian Wei Wei looked back at Zhuge Yun and smiled. "When you've become smarter, you can tell her about this the next time you see her, she will be grinding her teeth in vexation for sure, maybe she will show her true colors for the second time."

  Zhuge Yun was shocked by the words of Helian Wei Wei. "See her again? How is that possible?"

  "Why not?" Helian Wei Wei looked at the main coffin nearby, her eyes darkened. "You've seen those mutated exorcists. Many more people in Exorcist City will undergo mutation once Ni Feng revives. We won't be moving faster than them as I need to get the Sarira first. Besides, that person beside her would be difficult to deal with, do you know who he is? "

  Zhuge Yun shook his head, he never paid attention to Ni Feng's escort as that person did a great job at hiding himself.

  If it was not because of his graceful skills, Zhuge Yun would have thought that he was just an ordinary person.

  "Exorcist Guardian, Jing Wushuang." Helian Wei Wei's fingers glided over the handle of her gun. "Therefore, we will definitely see Ni Feng again. What's more, there'll be a tough battle to fight in Exorcist City…"

  Chapter 794 - The Reversal Of Life And Death, Reincarnation

  Helian Wei Wei's prediction was right.

  Although Jing Wushuang was injured, his speed did not slow down at all.

  He had an intrinsic ability to reform demons.

  One could easily tell by looking at the ghost baby who has been following him around for hundreds of years.

  "Young Master." The ghost baby carried the gourd on his back, dark circles could be seen around its eyes. Worried, he looked at Jing Wushuang and said, "Let's take a break first, we're almost there anyway."
