All the exorcists, as well as Zhuge Yun, froze at the scene.
No one, including the demons, was capable of gutting the huge monsters as if they were merely chickens.
Zhuge Yun could not help but feel a chill down his spine. Who on earth is this man?
"No? Still no? Then I'll just kill all of you."
Baili Jia Jue extracted the hearts of dozens of monsters in a blink of an eye, but he did not seem pleased yet. His fingers were covered in fresh blood, hanging by his side. His beautiful eyes were no longer obsidian, nor were they gold. Instead, they had turned crimson.
He was actually laughing!
That deep and low laughter sounded even more disturbing at this moment.
Zhuge Yun suddenly understood what he was looking for. He summoned up his courage and said, "Calm down. It's still uncertain whether Brother Wei has been eaten by monsters."
Baili Jia Jue slowly turned to look at Zhuge Yun, the magic on his face remained intense.
Now only Zhuge Yun realized that he had touched Baili Jia Jue's weakness.
Right at the moment, a small hand that was wearing a skull ring appeared from the bottom of the ground covered in snow. An imm.a.t.u.r.e yet domineering voice spoke, "Great Demon King! Pull me out. I'm holding your wife and she's sinking!"
Chapter 799 - A Buddha In Her Past Life
Baili Jia Jue abruptly narrowed his eyes and the snow on the ground slowly rose into the air, gradually revealing the two persons who were buried underneath.
Oblivious to the presence of the King of Hell's son, Baili Jia Jue immediately reached out and pulled Helian Wei Wei into his arms.
Helian Wei Wei could feel the warmth that crawled up her limbs as she looked at him and smiled. Her eyelashes were frosted. "I was caught by the son of King of Hell just now. That was why we got out a little late."
Baili Jia Jue did not respond to Helian Wei Wei. Instead, he whipped around and choked the son of King of Hell by his neck. "You. Are you the one who appeared from thin air and grabbed her when the royal tomb collapsed?"
The son of King of Hell let out a few violent cough. "How did I know that the tomb would collapse at that time? I was using the two-headed dog to detect your aura when it happened. How am I at fault?"
"Something bad will happen every time you're around. What is your father doing? He should have locked you up in netherworld and not let you out to wreak havoc on human world." Baili Jia Jue was always upset when Helian Wei Wei interacted with the members of hell. She was, after all, a human and she should not befriend these deadly and dirty creatures.
Knowing that someone was acting up again, the son of King of Hell waved his hand and said, "I will not ask you to return the favor for saving her life. Let's talk about how you disobey the heaven's order in order to change your life. Besides, I came for your wife, not you, Great Demon King. Can you please calm down? You're spilling blood everywhere as you kill the monsters. I'm still a kid and it's not good for me to witness such gory and violent scenes. My father always emphasizes on my character building and never allows me to kill in the human world. I've been good and obedient for all these years. Therefore, don't force me to fight you. We will end up in a lose-lose situation!"
"Lose-lose situation?" Baili Jia Jue lifted him up and their eyes met. He scoffed, "Are you sure about that?"
The son of King of Hell gulped before he replied, "I was suggesting for us to negotiate peacefully. You shouldn't raise a hand against a kid who is so much younger than you, big brother."
The son of King of Hell accidentally ate some snow as he was stuck upside down in the acc.u.mulated snow with his short legs kicking the air. Then, he removed himself from the snow as though he was pulling a carrot out of the ground.
Zhuge Yun certainly anticipated the fight between the two.
If not, the son of King of Hell's should at least be yelling at Baili Jia Jue.
Rumor had it that the seventh son of King of Hell was a temperamental and malicious boy. He could make hundreds of ghosts weep with one growl.
A naive man like Zhuge Yun would never have predicted the son of King of Hell's first reaction — to look into the mirror!
"I'm still so handsome. Ah, my fair skin and black hair, glowing eyes and white teeth. Seriously, can I get any more handsome? I really want to take a picture of myself and send it to Little Hook to ease our lovesickness." The son of King of Hell was touched by his own beauty, causing him to forget that he was in the ancient world but not modern times… Wait, Little Hook!
Zhuge Yun's lips were still twitching as he awaited the son of King of Hell's next words.
The boy flashed past with a big black sickle in his hands before he appeared at approximately 20 centimeters before Helian Wei Wei. "You need to retrieve all your memories to reborn amidst the agony and arrive at the world together with your Dharma. Then only you can close the gate between the magical realm and the human world. Otherwise, when the Six Dao disappears and the Path of Reincarnation is reversed, no one will survive."
"My memories?" Helian Wei Wei gently squinted. "My memory from when? My past life?"
The son of King of Hell shook his head as he avoided the eyes of the exorcists. Despite his imm.a.t.u.r.e voice, he sounded solemn. "Not the memories of your past life, but the memories of you being one of the Buddhas when you were at Xumi Mountain."
"Being one of the Buddhas?" Helian Wei Wei's pupils constricted out of shock.
The son of King of Hell gently rubbed his nose. "This is what's written in the records I read discreetly. In short, you were one of the followers of Buddhism back then. Initially, I thought everything would be fine after you restored your spiritual aura and delivered a child. No one foresaw you to enrage the Buddhist tribulation of thousands of years. Another follower of Buddhism has been awakened now. Unfortunately, you're not powerful enough to defeat her. In 18 hours, She will change her fortune in defiance of heaven and take your Dharma away from you. By then, not only you but every being will have their destinies altered. Everyone will disappear. There will no longer be any anomaly in the three realms and all lives will be wiped out. I reckon that Buddhism implemented this in order to annihilate all the unrightful romance. Tian Dao has agreed to this as they forbid the existence of any uncontrollable anomaly. For instance, you and the Great Demon King. Of course, the demons in hell will also be eradicated by the light of Buddha. All demons and monsters will be confined within the Sea of Blood, just like how they contained the Great Demon King back then. However, Great Demon King did it voluntarily. The only way for him to reincarnate as a human and wander outside the Six Dao was by breaking his own soul. But now, Golden Lotus, the disciple of Buddha, wants to destroy you. Great Demon King will never allow that to happen. Besides, the members of Buddhism have crossed the line. Why do they want to remove all the unrightful couples on earth all of a sudden? Woman, I side with true love. You have my absolute support!"
After listening to his words, Helian Wei Wei cast a glance at the little man and smiled. "Little Hook and you are not exactly a lawful couple either."
"We are bonded by true love," the son of King of Hell said with a somber face.
Helian Wei Wei's lips twitched every time she heard all the bladdergash from the child.
His Highness was mean as always. He looked at the son of King of Hell with an icy gaze and asked, "Are you positive that your love is not one-sided?"
The son of King of Hell glowered. However, the frown was immediately replaced by a bewitching and beautiful expression. "Even if it's one-sided, I want the person to stay alive. You'll never comprehend our relationship. Speaking of which, I share a similar feeling with Bodhi," he said as he stared at Helian Wei Wei. When he saw the puzzlement that raised her brows, he put on an evil grin. "Oh, yes. Woman, you haven't found out who Bodhi is. He's the guardian of the exorcists. However, he's not protecting any of the exorcist families, but you. This is such a pity. Buddha reincarnates into many different appearances and you no longer look the same a
s before. Who would have thought that you can't even recognize your favorite Bodhi anymore? Back then, you would sit next to Bodhi every single day to chant scriptures and occasionally water him. You even gave him his name. But now, you definitely can't remember him anymore. Just like what they say, the one who falls in love first will certainly be the one who suffers."
"Her favorite Bodhi?" Baili Jia Hue burst into laughter. An evil aura flashed across his eyes. He leaned toward the son of King of Hell and said menacingly, "Kid, I think your mind isn't working well. I'm her favourite, not Bodhi."
"Haha. Are you worried now?" The son of King of Hell chuckled as though he had discovered some secrets. "Fair enough. It's written in the records of Arbitrary Hell that, if it wasn't for you back then, the Phoenix would not have shut all her Buddha's gates, which caused her spirits and souls to be stunned. Eventually, she was left with no way to reincarnate. It was you who destroyed her Buddhist gospel…"
Chapter 800 - Locking Her Up
Upon listening to that, a hint of menacing crimson malevolence flashed across Baili Jia Jue's deep-colored eyes. He raised his head to glare at the son of the King Of Hell.
Then, he said menacingly, "I really should have killed you just now. The doc.u.ments are only written and will not infuriate anyone. However, it is different case if a person is excessively loquacious. Don't you agree with me?"
"I don't know whether it's true," said the Son of the King Of Hell as he locked eyes with Baili Jia Jue, having no intention to give in. "Nonetheless, she will have to retrieve her memories through the magical mirror. I reckon that you'd like to find out what happened to the both of you millions of years ago, right? Why did you fall from Heaven? How did she reincarnate as a human? Aren't you curious about all the things that I mentioned before?"
Baili Jia Jue looked into the eyes of the King of Hell's son as he spoke with a chilling voice, "No. I can do it on my own, either killing a god or annihilating the demons. There's no need to retrieve memories from millions of years ago."
"After all, you aren't sure about it." Wearing a curve on his lips, the son of the King Of Hell pulled no punches, "You're scared. You're afraid that the events that were written in Arbitrary Hell are real. Am I right?"
For a moment, the muscles of Baili Jia Jue's fingers, which were wrapped around Helian Wei Wei, grew taut. He then chuckled, "So what if I actually did that?"
"What?" The son of the King Of Hell did not expect an answer like this.
Baili Jia Jue narrowed his eyes. Behind his back, black crow feathers immediately rose high into the air and whirled into the eddies of wind together with the snow dust.
Distance away from him, the demons that were trying to ambush him held their throats in agony. They could not comprehend how the man's anger had made it so insurmountable to approach the man.
"So what if I actually did that? Is it wrong to lock her up?"
His condescending sneer scorned all lives and was absurdly arrogant.
The son of the King Of Hell cursed before he said, "You didn't simply lock her up! You extracted all of her Dharma Bones and robbed her of any chance to become a Buddha in this life!" He then turned around and said to Helian Wei Wei, "I finally know the secret behind this man's victory. He's way too shameless! He deliberately stopped you from returning to Buddhism so that you would belong completely to him. Are you sure that you want to follow this pervert for the rest of your life? Do you not want to marry someone else? There are a lot of handsome guys in netherworld. Unless you're fond of violence, or you should consider carefully about it. This is a vital decision in your life. There are many instances where couples, who were deeply in love before marriage, ended up with a divorce because of domestic violence. You're at least still young and beautiful. Don't be too silly and hitch yourself to a Great Demon King."
Every time Helian Wei Wei listened to this five-year-old talking about grown-up topics, she could not hold back her laughter. "Fret not. I'll get a divorce if our marriage doesn't go well. I can even find a handsome man who's younger than me, like Little Hook."
The son of the King Of Hell was speechless.
"Great Demon King, bring your wife away now! This wicked woman wants to destroy my family! Don't even think of eyeing up my Little Hook!"
The son of the King Of Hell was obviously frustrated. He held his big black axe in his little hand and decapitated a few demons along his way.
He declared that they were all his love rivals!
He loathed the sight of them!
Zhuge Yun did not know what triggered the kid either.
However, it did not make them look good when they merely followed behind a little child and let him kill all the demons along the journey.
Zhuge Yun turned to look at Helian Wei Wei and Baili Jia Jue. Unlike him, they were both taking the escort for granted and enjoying it.
On the other hand, Zhuge Yun reckoned that this was a tad too shameless…
Other exorcists were not as accepting as Zhuge Yun.
They did not know how to react when they saw the demonic Baili Jia Jue.
The guy who followed them into the ancient tomb was a demon.
This man had certainly done them a great favor.
However, exorcists lived for exorcism and their duty was to uphold justice and eschew evil.
They knew that the most important thing now was to unmask the young miss of the Ni family. They could not leave her deceiving the people. Otherwise, they would be anguished when the demons invaded Exorcist City.
The shrewd Baili Jia Jue had read their minds. He put on a half smile. It was a smile of disdain which Helian Wei Wei was very familiar with.
"Anyone who wants to leave the team, can leave now," Helian Weiwei suddenly announced in an indifferent tone. "The road to Exorcist City from henceforth will be even more dangerous. We don't have the time to take care of any internal strife at the same time."
Two exorcists left awkwardly just as she finished. Little did they know that they would soon regret their decision. They passed their yellow runes to Zhuge Yun before their departure. "You guys should keep these. We will go to Exorcist City too. But to be frank, we share different beliefs and it's not a good idea for us to work together anymore. Little Brother Yun, Little Brother Wei, do look out for yourself."
If this happened back then, Zhuge Yun would definitely not stay quiet no matter if he was to retain them or to bid farewell to them.
However, this young man seemed to have grown up all of a sudden after what he had been through during the past few days.
He had a stronger conviction now.
On behalf of Helian Wei Wei, he replied, "Sure." He did not receive their yellow runes, but reminded them to stay safe throughout their trips as well.
Perhaps Brother Jia Jue was a demon, but now Zhuge Yun did not want to dwell on the concept of good and evil that was indoctrinated into him since a long time ago.
Is it right to invalidate someone's existence just because of who they are?
Compared to those who were cloaked in facades, he would rather believe his comrades who had walked alongside him since the beginning.
He believed that they would, thereafter, walk through thick and thin together!
Helian Weiwei didn't understand how did Young Master Yun suddenly get fired up.
Nevertheless, what was waiting for them in Exorcist City was the Golden Lotus who was about to turn into Buddha. Therefore, it must be adept at "bringing out the good in people".
When the Light of Buddha shone and sanskrit were sung, those who did not stand fast would get affected easily and lose their ability to distinguish good from evil.
Eventually, they would become a liability. It would be better to cut them off now. The departure of the exorcists might actually be beneficial to them.
Her plan of retrieving her memories using the magical mirror should not be disclosed to anyone who was not stalwart. If she could not complete her plan in one fell swoop because her plan was leaked, her path o
f reincarnation would be tampered with.
She would not allow anyone to lay their hands on her man so presumptuously.
She was still carrying two unborn babies.
They want to take everything away from me?
Hah.
Helian Weiwei was always a temperamental person. She would send those who touched her belongings to an early grave!
Is she really a Buddha in her past life with such a fiery character?
Helian Weiwei threw another glimpse at the son of King of Hell and asked, "How did I become a Buddha back then?"
Chapter 801 - Convincing His Highness
"How do I know?" The son of King of Hell gazed at her in a hostile manner. "Go away. From now on, you're my bitterest love rival."
Helian Wei Wei chuckled before she pulled the son of King of Hell closer. "You really don't know?"
"I am never a nosy person. Let me go now, and please, watch your behaviour. I am a family man now." The son of King of Hell did not forget to beat the monsters that were charging at him as he spoke to Helian Wei Wei.
A family man my foot! You're just a kid!
Helian Wei Wei narrowed her eyes as she stared at him. Then, she smiled and said, "You look so handsome today."
The son of King of Hell immediately paused his actions before he put on a ruthless expression and said arrogantly, "You aren't good at many things but you are certainly a shrewd woman."
"You look perfect in your outfit, young pretty boy," Helian Wei Wei continued to woo him with her honeyed words.
The son of King of Hell was pleased by her compliments. He held Helian Wei Wei's t.h.i.g.h tight, no longer concerned about the monsters. He decided to leave the monsters to that Great Demon King. Then, he said with a smile on his face, "Since you have such a good taste, I'll tell you everything I know. You might have done a mistake back then when you ungratefully rejected the opportunity offered by Buddhism. Consequently, you triggered the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation. Phoenix is your Dharma. You were born in hell, yet the Light of Buddha shone on you. Naturally, members of Buddhism would want you to join them. As for how you became a Buddha, I genuinely have no idea. However, I reckon that with your personality, it had nothing to do with you being a vegetarian or reciting the scriptures."
