Ni Feng smiled after listening to what the servant said.
She must have overthought things.
Madam Zhuge might not be easy to fool like the other exorcists.
But she would not cause any trouble either.
Nothing much would change even if those exorcists came into the city.
No one would ever believe the words of someone possessed by evil spirits.
Only eight more hours to go and if Exorcist City remained unconquered, everything that belonged to the Phoenix Girl would be hers. She could be reincarnated again!
At this very moment, there was a loud bang!
As if something was knocking against the city wall!
All the elders of the exorcist families stood, with panic on their faces, "What is going on? What's happening outside!"
"Its a dragon!" Someone looked toward the sky, "Look, it's a huge, green dragon!"
Like everyone else, Ni Feng looked up to the southern sky following the light and saw a green dragon flying up and rolling over the clouds. As if it was obeying someone's orders, the green dragon struck the city walls using its tail, exuding a ghoulish aura.
Seeing that, Ni Feng had no worries. Instead, her eyes were shining bright.
It's him, he's here.
The corners of her lips curled upward because the day that she was waiting for was finally here.
Ni Feng was not worried that the city wall would fall. As long as no one entered that place, Exorcist City would be indestructible forever.
No one would ever find out the weakness of Exorcist City. Located three inches below the ground, the place was guarded by a person from Tian Dao.
Even if the place was discovered, no one would be able to break the spell.
Not to mention that Helian Wei Wei was already dead.
Even if she was still alive, how could she fight with the people from Tian Dao only with her spiritual aura?
That person was capable of defeating groups of demons.
Even the demonic Baili Jia Jue could only have a tie with that person.
Unless he had never fallen from heaven...
But that was not possible.
"Inform everyone to go to the Southern Gate." Ni Feng gave an order before swiftly walking out of the meeting room.
Following behind her were the elders of the exorcist families, including Madam Zhuge.
As Madam Zhuge walked out, she intentionally looked toward the direction of the cherry blossom tree in the yard. The two persons who were originally there had disappeared They were fast.
Madam Zhuge let out a sigh of relief. With that, her mission had been completed.
Whether the Exorcist City would live or die, and whether the Righteous Path of Reincarnation could be preserved, were up to them both now.
Just that she had not seen the magical mirror that they spoke of even after visiting the Ni family for so many times.
Can they really find the magical mirror within the time frame?
Chapter 809 - Who Was The One Being Overconfident
Helian Wei Wei thought that the magical mirror might be kept in the meeting room because the most dangerous place would often be the safest place.
The meeting room was the best place for that in the Ni family.
But Helian Wei Wei was frowning as she could not find it after going around the place, "Could it be that it's not here?"
If not here, then where?
"It's here." Baili Jia Jue reached out his hand from behind her and grabbed her, with an evil smile on his face, "It's just not above the ground."
Helian Wei Wei moved to make some space and looked at the ground unconsciously, "It doesn't look like there's a secret chamber."
"Hell." There was mockery in Baili Jia Jue's voice, "Beneath this house is the entrance from the human world to hell. That stupid Bodhi tree must have put the magical mirror in hell, waiting for the Light of Buddha to shine upon it. Although the idea is dumb, it will be hard to find it with it in hell."
"So, to hell we go?" She laughed slightly, still reminiscing the special descriptions by His Highness. He seemed to really care since he had been calling them 'stupid lotus' and 'stupid Bodhi tree'.
Baili Jia Jue took a glance at her, reached out one of his hands and lifted her face, "What are you laughing at?"
"Nothing, let's go." Helian Wei Wei held his hand, knowing better to go with his flow now.
According to the Son of the King of Hell, the current Baili Jia Jue was probably stronger than the time when he was the Demon King.
And so was his d.e.s.i.r.e to control as well.
His Highness' ways of expressing love had always differed from other people.
That was really...
Helian Wei Wei had no idea how to deal with the man, thus resorting to holding his hand to prevent him from having all sorts of crazy ideas.
"Okay." Baili Jia Jue seemed to be cheered up by the gesture, so he grinned from ear to ear, "I haven't been to hell for a long time. The demons there are larger and more abundant."
Helian Wei Wei, ...What's with the excited tone?
Soon, Helian Wei Wei found out what His Highness was excited about.
Hell was different from what Helian Wei Wei had expected.
But it was another form of beauty. In the darkness, there was a boundless desert. Among the mist, pure white cylinders stood tall. They were elegant and solemn, yet shady and desolate. Sand was dancing in clouds of smoke, and everything there seemed to bear the mark of sacredness.
Baili Jia Jue stood there with his long, black cape dr.a.p.ed over his shoulders. The howling wind danced like demons, sweeping across all prosperity and desolation, lifting his cape in the air.
The sun was setting behind him.
It looked like the world was dyed blood red at that moment.
It was the golden timing of a sunset!
The hall was quiet and looked like it had hundreds of years of history. It was towering over them like clouds and looking ever so majestic.
The red spider lilies at the entrance of the hall were burning red like flames in the sky.
The giant carved pillars had signs of war and traces of spider webs, until the end of sight. This spread until the iron gate, replaced with two huge stone statues. The statues looked so stunning as if they were gods.
Not sure if it was just her imagination, Helian Wei Wei thought that one of the statues looked like His Highness…
But to reach where the magical mirror was placed, they must walk to the top of the temple.
This temple, however, was like the gathering place for monsters. There were dozens of crawling monsters closely packed at each level and they were all staring at their visitors with bloodshot eyes.
Helian Wei Wei examined closely and noticed that the monsters could not move as if they were tied up by something. With a touch, these monsters would not be able to attack.
With that in mind, she landed her gaze on the iron gate of the temple. There seemed to be a talisman on it. Is this the one?
That is suppressing the monsters?
Baili Jia Jue walked toward the talisman slowly and hit it lightly with his index finger and middle finger together.
Creak—
The talisman dropped to the floor.
The giant iron gate seemed to come to life and it opened slightly under the bloody twilight. Then, countless black crows soared from the temple, with cl.u.s.ters of black feathers falling and the monsters were going berserk!
From high above the sky, a figure in white celestial robe descended and blocked in front of Helian Wei Wei. He seemed to be over a hundred years old, with his long, white beard, but no one could simply ignore his exuding aura. Especially when he landed, the sole of his shoes sank three inches into the marble floor so effortlessly like penetrating through balls of cotton. With that, they were sure not to take this old man lightly.
"And there I was thinking who would be so brave to come to hell. So, it's the millennium demon." The old man chuckled and looked
at Baili Jia Jue indifferently as if he did not take his seriously at all, "I advise you to leave. As a member of Tian Dao, I do not wish to kill, much less to touch your filthy demon blood with my hands."
Tian Dao?
Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrow. So the old man before them was a God?
A God who watches over hell?
No wonder so many monsters are following behind him obediently…
"Let's not be too sure whose blood will spill today." Baili Jia Jue laughed with unprecedented evilness, "Unlike you, I kill gods for sport."
As he was saying that, his black robe flew and danced in the air, as he lifted the deep, transparent water-like barrier behind him.
The demonic aura in the air was like the howling sea, so infinite and unreachable.
The old man scoffed, "You're forcing me to be tough on you. All the monsters, listen up. This demon is all yours, eat him in any way you want!"
As soon as the old man finished speaking, the circling monsters took action immediately!
With their sharp fangs and claws, all that could come from the strongly demonic monsters was danger.
With all their might, they pounced at Baili Jia Jue!
One layer over another, they swarmed over him.
"Overconfident." The old man had seen many ferocious magical beings before, and no matter how strong the magical being was, they would always be defeated by the seething monsters.
One should know that all of these monsters had each a tint of his celestial aura.
Tearing a demon apart was not difficult work!
But, just when the old man was about to leave.
The monsters that jumped onto their prey were bounced back!
The monsters laid on the floor, holding their claws close to their c.h.e.s.ts. They were all curled up as if in massive pain!
The old man turned his head back and squinted. The demon who was supposed to be torn apart was standing there without even a scar!
Not only did he remain unharmed, but there was not even a fold in his robe. Aside from the fresh blood to indicate that he had fought back, nothing else changed.
Baili Jia Jue was even holding onto Helian Wei Wei's waist and standing on huge enchanted flowers. They looked like a miracle along the way to hell...
Chapter 810 - The Reincarnated Phoenix
At this moment, the intertwined turbulences had been pacified into complete silence. The peaceful tide began to edd together with the extinguished white light.
The thousands of monsters paused their actions involuntarily.
They had witnessed a similar scene tens of millions of years ago.
The man had once levitated above the Sea of Blood in the hell of Six Dao as he overlooked the rough and turbulent black water and asked if anyone was willing to follow him to Tian Dao.
Just like now, the enchanted flowers blossomed along the road.
Ever since then, the Eight Deserts had been wiped out while the sacrilegious Sea of Blood had been removed from the hell. He became the ruler of the monsters.
Tian Dao had become a fad of the time before it eventually turned into the leader of the Six Dao.
The man was the only one who was capable to make this happen.
The emperor, who was born amidst chaos, yet possessed infinite miraculous power, was the only one who could orc.h.e.s.tra this!
However, the emperor had certainly fallen from heaven. How did he actually possess the divine consciousness?
With his pinkish lips slightly parted, he meant to voice his opinion before he realized that the words had died at his dry throat.
No!
This is impossible!
This is surely an illusion created by the devil!
A man who has fallen from heaven will never be able to regain his consciousness!
The old man regained his composure before he stared at Baili Jia Jue coldly, "You might be him, but I know that all of these are nothing but a bravado. Do you think you can scare me with this?"
The old man squinted as he spoke. While the air on his palm gradually solidified, the surroundings began to shake vigorously and turn the entire place into chaos.
Speedily, he charged toward Baili Jia Jue with an inimitable move. In a fraction of a second, his hand was only a few centimeters away from Baili Jia Jue's temple.
He was confident that his punch could shatter Baili Jia Jue's head.
It was the sound of the rocks cracking open.
He was clueless, not knowing how he was flung away. Only when he hit the ground, he was overwhelmed by pain and agony.
The pitch-black petal rose into the air before it descended again in slow motion as though someone had cast a spell over it.
Indeed, he applied his divine consciousness.
He had definitely used his divine consciousness that was not supposed to exist!
The old man gently lifted his brown eyes. Coupled by shallow and weak breathe, he asked in a feeble tone, "That's impossible. You've fallen from heaven. It's impossible for you to have a divine psyche!"
"Ha…" His solid and fruity laugh swamped the whole place like the golden sands. The sand steadily flew underneath his feet, making him look exceptionally aloof yet graceful.
"For me, nothing is impossible. It only happens because I refused to return to Tian Dao." Baili Jia Jue looked at the old man of Tian Dao from above as he wore a sardonic half smile on his face. He replied the old man with a thought-provoking answer.
Although he was covered in blood, his aura remained unyielding. From the side, extreme wickedness was painted across his chiseled yet pale face. In spite of his pallid complexion, his crystal clear skin was glowing.
"Have you never lost your divine…" The old man's eyebrows rose in shock. Before he could finish his words, he was covered by the flooded black feathers before it eventually penetrated both his hands and throat.
Fresh blood permeated the barren plain and moistened the earth.
Baili Jia Jue advanced in a nonchalant manner as the thousands of demons made way for him, making a rather magnificent scene.
The monsters in the palace dared not move an inch. They stood stock-still, afraid that the man would kill them with his b.a.r.e hands. The monsters shivered as they called out, "Emperor."
Standing in the center, Baili Jia Jue sneered as he commanded succinctly, "Leave."
The monsters freed up the space before they huddled into balls. Obeying to His Highness, they began to roll backward as the sorrow within them overflowed, almost making a river of tears.
Why has no one told us about this before?
Why didn't we know it is possible for the emperor to return?
Didn't they say that a man who has fallen from heaven will never be a deity?
What nonsense is this!
"The monsters seem to know you?" Amused, Helian Wei Wei threw a side glance at Baili Jia Jue. After all, it was hilarious to watch as the gigantic monsters curled themselves up into balls.
Baili Jia Jue took a step forward. He raised his brows before he answered, "This is the second time we meet. We aren't on close terms."
The monsters were taken aback. Who was the one who brought us to Tian Dao? We have been tortured by you for a good 500 years, yet you have the face to say that you don't know us well!
"I reckon they have something to tell you." Helian Wei Wei tried to hold back her laughter as she spoke.
Baili Jia Jue threw a menacing glimpse at the monsters.
Immediately, the monsters retreated cowardly and continued to roll out of the scene.
"I don't think they have anything else to say." Baili Jia Jue lifted Helian Wei Wei up.
Fl.u.s.tered, Helian Wei Wei massaged her temple. Sometimes, His Highness was indubitably potent.
Showered by the black crow feathers, Baili Jia Jue did not have the intention to slow down. His thin and tall silhouette whizzed past before he eventually stopped before the floating magical mirror. He scoffed, "This mirror can show the Six Dao of reincarnat
ion?"
Within a blink of an eye, she felt an intense vertigo before all her senses disappeared.
Unbeknownst to her, the scene within the magical mirror was the incident that happened in the Xumi Mountain a thousand years ago.
It was the extensive Land of Buddha and the boundless lotus.
There was a pathway made of colored glass on the Xumi Mountain. The stairway to heaven, that was concealed by the clouds, meandered down the mountain.
Buddhism feted Tian Dao to celebrate the clearance of the Sea of Blood.
This was originally the Buddhism's responsibility.
Nevertheless, Buddhism was the party who was supposed to rescue all creatures from their sufferings.
According to hearsay, Phoenix, the only slayer of Buddhism, was injured when she went to the magical realm to kill the demons. Owing to her hard work, the magical realm was finally at peace. However, she was no longer fit to clear the Sea of Blood.
Therefore, Tian Dao had to take over the task to clear the Sea of Blood.
"Is it true that the emperor personally visited the Sea of Blood? Tian Dao will once again get the better of Buddhism."
"I reckon that as long as the emperor still exists, Tian Dao will always be the best. Isn't it?"
"Phoenix is no one to be trifled with either. For hundreds of years, Buddhism has been leading in many aspects because of her."
"Did the emperor visit Buddhism because he was upset by Phoenix?"
"It seems like the both of them dislike each other. When we previously invited Tian Dao over for the banquet, none of them attended, completely insulting the two parties."
"But, I heard that Phoenix didn't make it because she didn't want to miss her prayer. Meanwhile, the emperor was too lazy to leave his home."
"These are merely excuses. The emperor has always liked soft and gentle women. He probably loathed the sight of the bold and fierce Phoenix, making him reluctant to show up at the banquet. They have never met each other for the past hundreds of years. We can anticipate a squabble during the banquet later."
Their chatter diminished with distance, together with the clouds that were slowly drifting away. None of them noticed the lady who was standing under the tree. She put down the scripture and showed her face before she chuckled lightly. "How fierce do I have to be to stop people from coming to the banquet?"
