The Anarchic Consort c1-1376

by Warring Young Seven

  "The Sarira in the royal tomb has been taken away too?" The King of Hell stopped in his tracks. From the side, his profile appeared beautiful yet arrogant. Under the radiance of the Flame of Hell, his face laced with a hint of mockery. "Interesting."

  Fearful, the judge stammered, "Mas… Master, Young… Young Master, he's..."

  "Gone again?" The King of Hell scoffed, "Don't bother about him. And you, lock up all the most confidential doc.u.ments in hell. Don't let anyone see it, especially those who always create troubles to netherworld."

  The judge asked in surprise, "Is Master talking about the records of the two lords from Tian Dao and Buddhism a thousand years ago?"

  "Yes." The King of Hell laughed with a tinge of evil aura at the corners of his lips. "What do you think the person will do once he recovers his memory in Tian Dao?"

  The judge studied his surroundings before he wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. "I... I don't know."

  Back then, the lord fell from heaven and was demonized.

  However, Buddhism never allowed romance.

  It was merely a heavenly tribulation that only tested the man's capability to withstand it.

  Nonetheless, the lord never seemed to care about the heavenly tribulation.

  He was unstoppable.

  He would kill anyone who stood in his way, including both demons and God.

  His falling from the sky was, in fact, his self-exile!

  Boom!

  The last boom resonated across the atmosphere.

  The Bridge of Helplessness of the netherworld began to shake.

  Ni Feng overlooked this scene before she hid her face in the man's c.h.e.s.t that was full of the fragrance of Buddhist incense.

  This is the smell.

  Back when she was standing in front of Gautama Buddha, this was the scent she was most familiar with.

  Hehe, it seems like I'm the only one who remembers it.

  That's a story from a long time ago...

  Bodhi, Bodhi, you didn't even have a heart initially, but you fell in love with someone who nurtured you.

  Alas, the person could not read your mind, causing you to begrudge her only because of a casual joke.

  This is how I seized the chance to impersonate her impetuously!

  However…

  Ni Feng grabbed her long sleeves tight as she put on a gentle smile. "Wushuang, why didn't we follow our original plan to occupy Helian Wei Wei's body?" Instead, we've picked this mortal shell! This was undoubtedly her original mortal shell. However, she wanted to completely replace Helian Wei Wei. She could only become the true Phoenix Girl by disrupting the fortune. Then… she would be able to get the man!

  Jing Wushuang paused the action of his long and slender fingers before he spoke with a gentle and warm voice, "After all, you're back."

  "Were you hesitating just now?" Ni Feng put on a faint smile as her eyes glimmered. "It's so rare to see you caring for someone other than me. Sigh, our Wushuang has really grown up. You're no longer that little Bodhi tree I used to know."

  Upon listening to Ni Feng's words, Jing Wushuang was reminded about the beautiful memories. His thin lips curled into a smile.

  The ghost baby, that was watching from aside, felt a sense of bliss that it had been longing for.

  It had heard too much from its master.

  In order for the Phoenix Girl to return...

  More precisely, in order for the lord to return, it's master had exhausted all the methods.

  For instance, when lord gave up on Buddhism and chose to perish, its master used the body of Bodhi to bear the last strike of heavenly tribulation on the lord's behalf.

  Owing to that, the Phoenix Girl was not banished by Six Dao, and was able to reincarnate.

  They had also lost count of how many temples they visited.

  Even after all the kowtows on the mountain road, he was not wishful to see her again.

  He merely hoped to get a little clue about her whereabouts.

  Finally, someone called out his name across the bamboo woods.

  The ghost baby had never seen such joy on his master's face.

  Unfortunately, the lord never knew what his master had done for her.

  She knew nothing about him bearing the heavenly tribulation for her, giving up his Dharma fate and using his 9999 lives in exchange for her reincarnation.

  Nobody knew about these...

  Chapter 797 - Karma From Past Life

  The ghost baby made a slight pause as its eyes widened. Subconsciously, it reached out to tug Jing Wushuang's sleeve.

  Ni Feng also noticed the ghost baby's movement but she did not say anything.

  She knew Bodhi was very smart.

  If she wanted to deceive Bodhi, she must do less and talk less.

  They did not interact much when he found her in her past life.

  At that time, she was sent to the magical realm and he tried every way to save her.

  However, he never knew that she agreed to go to the magical realm, all because that man was there.

  She was so close to getting Baili Jia Jue.

  If it was not because of someone popping up and meddling with her plans, Helian Wei Wei would not be the one by his side right now!

  Nonetheless, judging from the situation, it seemed like none of them had recalled the past.

  Even Helian Wei Wei's spiritual aura seemed to have vanished completely.

  Heh, who would have thought that the Phoenix Girl, who reincarnated with Dharma Bone, would end up in such a tight corner right now.

  Now, it seemed that there was nothing for her to worry about since the royal tomb was destroyed. The Nirvana Rebirth with the Phoenix Dharma would never reappear in the human world.

  As long as the Dharma did not appear, she would remain as the real Phoenix Girl.

  As for Helian Wei Wei… Heh, even if Baili Jia Jue stayed by her side and killed multitudes of demons, it was impossible for her to fend off the invasion of evil aura and miasma without the protection of spiritual aura. She was just a human after all.

  Now, all Ni Feng had to do was to return to the Exorcist City, take control of all the exorcists and use the magical mirror to concentrate all the spiritual aura to her body. Then, she could tamper with the Six Dao of Reincarnation, reviving the dead and sending the living to their deaths.

  Upon destroying the Path of Reincarnation, not only would she be sitting on top of the entire world, she could also use it to merge with the Phoenix Girl. With that, she would be able to obtain all of her fortune!

  All the while, she was the only person who truly knew her intentions in her heart.

  As Yue Lao had said, once the red string was drawn, regardless of whether it was drawn wrongly or not, it would always exist.

  Hence, she would turn herself into the Phoenix Girl and become that person's one and only!

  The low noise that came from deep under the ground never stopped as dust emerged from the mountainside. One could feel it even if they were in the Exorcist City. Times are about to change!

  The teams that were unable to reach the tomb entrance within designated time had already returned to their starting point.

  As they listened closely to the sound in their ears, coupling with a gasping noise, it sounded as though something was trying to crawl out from the underground.

  The exorcists' eyes were full of worry, let alone the children who were so scared, they ran into the arms of a.d.u.l.ts.

  Noone knew what was happening, the judges stared at the sandalwood incense on the ground that had finished burning. It was initially used to determine the winner and the loser.

  Whichever team that came back earliest would have their points increased.

  "Could something have happened?"

  "Don't worry, Old Ni and the Phoenix Girl are here. Even if something were to happen, it wouldn't be a big problem."

  "But I still feel that something's wrong… Wait! Look over there!"

  Someone pointed toward the black fog
emitting from the mountainside, their faces full of dread. "Something's not right! All the demons that were suppressed in the tomb have escaped! They've escaped!"

  "That's impossible!" As the tribe's judge, Ni Shi could not believe this sort of thing would happen. When he turned around to look, his voice quavered. "How… How could this…"

  Madam Zhuge was the calmest person among the waiting group. She put her arms around the little one who rushed into her arms and calmly opened her mouth to speak, "No matter what is happening now, we need to think of a solution. We can still make it if we start setting up a formation this instant, let the children go back to the city first."

  "Madam Zhuge is right." A voice sounded suddenly as if it came out of thin air.

  The crowd lifted their heads and looked in the direction of the voice. All they saw was Ni Feng descending from the sky with a veil on her face, followed by Jing Wushuang.

  Jing Wushuang resumed his role as an attendant, silently standing by the side with a weak sense of existence.

  Everyone felt as if they were looking at their saviour when they saw Ni Feng. They rushed over in excitement. "Lady Ni, you're finally back! Why are you alone, what about the others? What's happening over at the royal tomb? What is up with all the black fog?"

  "Those black fog was released by foreign exorcists." Ni Feng's voice was soft, carrying a slight cough. She sounded grief-stricken. "None of us expected that someone would hijack of this competition to retrieve the Sarira. Everything hasn't gone very well from the moment we entered the tomb, two people died as soon as we opened the tomb. We kept looking for the source of the problem, only to realize that there are magic practitioners hidden among the exorcists. However, it was too late for us to stop it, all the demons sealed in the royal tomb were released. Old Li and my father were possessed by evil spirits and they were left in the tomb. Now, the tomb has collapsed, it won't be long before the demons and ghosts come rushing out, we need to head back to the city immediately!"

  Ni Feng said so just in case someday Old Li and the rest came back alive.

  When the time comes, she still had an excuse not to let them enter the city.

  Being possessed by evil spirits would mean that they have turned to the evil side.

  Even if she did not have time to murder them to prevent the divulgence of her secret, no one from the Exorcist City would believe them anyway!

  Humans had always had an inherent fear and hatred for ghosts.

  On the other hand, when facing gods, they would worship them without any questions.

  Right now, she was the reincarnation of the Phoenix Girl to them, she was a goddess to them!

  As expected, they followed Ni Feng's advice and immediately started packing their things, getting ready to return to the city!

  On the contrary, Madam Zhuge felt a wave of dizziness, she pressed her fingertips against her temples. Her voice became hoarse as she said, "Both Old Li and Ni Biao have been possessed, what about Ah Yun? Is he alive or dead?"

  "Aunt, I know that it's hard for you to accept this." Ni Feng turned away, her eyes red. She continued with extreme sadness, "When father got possessed, I killed him myself. I almost had a breakdown at that time, but I had to do it because I have to give others an explanation. Aunt, even though I shouldn't be telling you this, I have no choice but to tell you about it at this point in time. There's something wrong with one of the people from the Zhuge family, she dressed up as a man and sneaked into Exorcist City, obviously having other plans in mind. In fact, she's not even an exorcist, she's a cultivated demon. It was her who released the demons in the tomb. As for Brother Yun, he's still alive, but I'm afraid he's been possessed by evil spirits. Even if he manages to come back someday, it would not be the real him."

  Chapter 798 - Demonizing His Highness

  Madam Zhuge was stunned when she heard the last sentence. She paused her action before she threw a silent glance at Ni Feng.

  Ni Feng sensed the change in atmosphere.

  Before she could speak, Madam Zhuge burst into tears. "In that case, we shall do as Lady Ni said. Let's head back to the city."

  Ni Feng lowered her gaze, knowing that Madam Zhuge was experiencing extreme grief. "Madam Zhuge, please don't be sad. Please take good care of the children. I'll help the rest to save the Exorcist City."

  Ni Feng was not lying.

  Protecting the Exorcist City was the only way for her to completely cut off the Dharma Bones.

  Being attracted by the aura of resentment, the demons would gather at every corner of the Exorcist City. Even if anything was to happen, they, who stood guard around the city, would be able to impede the catastrophe.

  18 hours later, after she absorbed all the spiritual aura in the Exorcist City, she would be able to change her life and fortune. Then, she would be showered by Dharma and become the real Phoenix Girl!

  "Mother, is brother really possessed by evil spirits?" asked the little one who nestled in Madam Zhuge's embrace with his eyes brimming with tears.

  Madam Zhuge looked at her son who was lying in her arms and shook her head gently when no one was looking at her.

  Nobody can possess Zhuge Yun's body.

  500 years ago when Bodhi was reborn, he left his Dharma Bones with Zhuge clan. It was passed down from generation to generation, protecting the members of the family.

  Even if any of the members dies, they will not be possessed by spirits demons.

  This is Zhuge clan's secret.

  It was the only thing she could do as a mother for Zhuge Yun before her eldest son left.

  She almost believed Ni Feng's words in the beginning.

  She was ready to accept her son's death.

  Only until Ni Feng's final statement, that said that Zhuge Yun was possessed by demon, Madam Zhuge got skeptical.

  Yun'er has been possessed by an evil spirit.

  But, that's totally impossible!

  And that leaves only one explanation, Ni Feng is not telling the truth!

  Madam Zhuge somehow thought that Ni Feng had changed after her return.

  She was now more gentle and bewitching.

  Especially the light radiated from her body, making she to appear like a holy Buddha.

  If it was not because of Zhuge clan's secret, she would have been completely convinced by Ni Feng.

  Madam Zhuge dared not think of the consequences, but she was feeling more perturbed than ever.

  Ni Feng… What exactly does she want?

  Rumble!

  As if the thunder tribulation from the Nine Heavens was repeatedly striking the earth, it wreaked complete havoc among the mountains and rivers.

  The avalanche began to surge toward the ground from the mountain too, looking as though it was going to swallow the heaven.

  Countless monsters, which were drooling at the sight of them, formed a wall before Zhuge Yun and his comrades.

  With only a handful of them left, it was no longer important to find the entrance to the tomb. After half an hour of the quake, they finally arrived at the surface of ground. However, the scene had changed completely as the trees were now covered in snow.

  Consequently, the enormous monsters that were standing in the woods could now easily be spotted.

  "I didn't expect that I would have something to eat as soon as I arrive at earth, not to mention these exorcists with overflowing spiritual aura." All the monsters licked their own claws. Their eyes were glowing in crimson, filled with bloodthirstiness.

  Even though they were the top exorcists from the Exorcist City, it was impossible for the five of them to deal with more than 10 large monsters. Besides, they had already exhausted all their physical strength back in the tomb.

  Zhuge Yun, who had just reached the ground, was still looking for traces of Helian Wei Wei and the others. He felt fortunate enough that Wei Wei was not with them now. Otherwise, they would have turned into the monsters' appetizers before anything else.

  "Which one should I eat first? I really can't wait anymore
."

  "Why are you so indecisive? You can just take a bite from each of them. After that, we can join the 100 monsters walk in the Exorcist City tonight!"

  The large monsters seemed to have other plans. Therefore, they did not hesitate much before five of them decided to pounce at Zhuge Yun and the rest!

  Zhuge Yun's spiritual aura was really good, but he could barely defend himself. Meanwhile, the rest of the monsters charged at him at the same time.

  The Mahogany Sword in his hand fell onto the ground with a loud thud. Everyone thought they were going to die.

  Bang! A loud noise resonated across the atmosphere!

  All the monsters were abruptly repelled by an unknown force!

  "Who's that? Who has the audacity to hinder our plan!"

  The monsters covered their faces with their claws as they stood up, eyes full of ferocity.

  All they saw was a slender figure slowly walking down the frozen snow. His face was so beautiful as though it was sculpted from ice. His frosted long hair cascaded down his back. The sound of innumerable wings fluttering resounded across the air before tens of thousands of jackdaws were seen rushing forward. Black wings shadowed the entire sky while it rained feathers. Like a snowstorm, a thick black fog engulfed them within a fraction of a second.

  At that moment, Zhuge Yun felt as though he was looking at the fabled sea of blood of the magical realm. Within his sight, it was nothing but a massacre.

  He's no longer the man I know.

  He's a demon.

  At this moment, Zhuge Yun finally realized that it was not an illusion.

  The man who followed him into the royal tomb was indeed a demon.

  Not only that, he was a demon who spared no mercy to his enemies and ended their lives without blinking an eye.

  "I'll ask you again Did you eat it?" Baili Jia Jue lifted a gigantic monster in the air. The strong wind continued to blow, splashing the fresh blood onto his cheek. His gaze was indecipherable. Even the demons were terribly intimidated by his imposing aura.

  "No… No… Ahhhh!"

  Before the monster could finish its sentence, Baili Jia Jue had already slashed its belly open, apparently searching for something within the monster's stomach. For every monster he slaughtered, his worries seemed to have lessened, although, at the same time, he seemed to grow increasingly impatient.
