The Anarchic Consort c1-1376

by Warring Young Seven

  Not only did Ni Feng face Zhuge Yun's accusation without showing any alarm, she even shook her head gently. She heaved a long sigh, the sound of her coughing provoking pity from those around her, "So this is what you wanted to do, smear all the crimes on me and make me disappear, so that once I am gone, the shield of spiritual aura covering the Exorcist City will vanish as well. Then, you can destroy the whole Exorcist City from the inside out?" Ni Feng looked up, saying righteously, "I will never let you succeed, you provocative hostile ghosts!"

  The exorcists were terrified when they heard Ni Feng's words, they could almost imagine what the scene would look like.

  Some people started to riot, "We should never have given a chance for these hostile ghosts to speak."

  "That's because the Young Masters of the Zhuge family and the Li family are among them. If they were someone else, we would've caught them a long time ago. These hostile ghosts are truly evil, thinking of such a method that even I almost believed them."

  "Hostile ghosts are cunning by nature, they know how to read people's minds. It's already very hard for Lady Ni to deal with them, and she still has to think of ways to protect the Exorcist City, it truly is not an easy task."

  Zhuge Yun listened to the people's discussion in disbelief. He could not believe his ears. He had already explained it so thoroughly, yet these people still felt that he was lying to them!

  Why could they not just use their brains a little to think about it properly? Would they still be talking so much if they had been possessed by ghosts?

  Maybe this was the natural instinct of human beings.

  Human beings would always force their own minds to accept matters which had a very obvious principle. They were used to being instigated by others, unwilling to spend time pondering about the truth. Despite using hurtful words to harm the ones who were actually right, they would only believe that the things they uphold were right.

  There was a moment that Zhuge Yun did not know if he should feel sorry for himself or for this scene before him.

  Nevertheless, he knew that he must not cower no matter what!

  "Ni Feng, whether or not my words are true, you know it clearly in your heart." Zhuge Yun's eyes were clear, "Today my six comrades and I stand here and swear to Heaven, that you are not the reincarnated Phoenix Girl at all. If I lied about anything, my Zhuge Family will never know peace!"

  At this moment, Madam Zhuge opened her mouth to speak with a determined look in her eyes, "I believe in Yun'er, there are too many points of suspicion. We cannot determine what happened in the royal tomb based on only one person's words. Everyone wants to protect this city, this is the home of our Exorcising Tribe. No one wishes to destroy it, but right now, we really cannot be taken advantage of."

  Upon hearing that, Ni Feng cast her eyes down as though she had received a blow. Tears seemed to fill inside her beautiful eyes, and she said tenderly, "I really did not expect that even Auntie would see me this way. Is it because I wanted to capture Brother Yun? Hostile ghosts know how to read minds, so I was on guard from the start, but I did not expect that even after the precautions I have taken, they still had some ways to attack me. Thus, it is reasonable that Auntie would misunderstand me, but Auntie, did you ever wonder, if I am not the Phoenix Girl, how can I maintain such a shield of spiritual aura? And even up until now, these hostile ghosts could only say things to put the blame on me, but they do not have even a shred of evidence to prove that I am not the Phoenix Girl. Auntie, I do not wish for the unity between us to break because of these hostile ghosts. Do you understand how I feel?"

  "Ni Feng, the shield of spiritual aura that you mentioned was just your corpse's aura. You want evidence, don't you?" Zhuge Yun did not cower, instead, he stood in front of Madam Zhuge sharply, his eyes looking around, "I know that all of you would not believe us no matter what we say, but this matter puts everything at stake. A slight mistake will cost the whole of Exorcist City. Right now, all the monsters in the World of Trichiliocosm are arriving at the Exorcist City, but they have not taken any action yet, not because of some shield of spiritual aura, but because they simply never thought of attacking the city. The reason that the monsters are surrounding Exorcist City is within the city. If we do not stop Ni Feng and find a way to break through this shield of corpse's aura before the time is up, Exorcist City will become a true hell in the human world, and the spiritual aura of all the exorcists in this city will be totally absorbed in a split second. The demons are surrounding this city because they know that this place is about to turn into Purgatory. It's been said that the Phoenix Girl is a phoenix born from the flames. A true Phoenix Girl reincarnate could illuminate the light of Buddha and manifest the Dharma of the Phoenix. Ni Feng, ever since you were young, your title of Phoenix Girl reincarnate was granted by your Ni Family, but in reality, you have never manifested the Dharma of the Phoenix, yet you still dare to call yourself the Phoenix Girl? Now that all the seniors of the Exorcist City are here, if you truly are the Phoenix Girl, cast some magic to prove it, to let everyone know who the liar is!"

  Zhuge Yun's mind had never been this clear before.

  Perhaps he had been influenced by Helian Wei Wei in the ancient tomb.

  But instead, he analyzed the situation layer by layer and then he cut into the most crucial point!

  After listening to his words, the exorcists fell into their own thoughts.

  After all, Zhuge Yun was right. It was true that Feng'er had never manifested her Dharma before.

  Seeing the expressions of the exorcists falling silent, Zhuge Yun knew that his words had worked. Ni Feng was not the Phoenix Girl, so it was impossible for her to manifest the Dharma of the Phoenix. By then, the people could naturally see her true colors!

  But Zhuge Yun never expected that at this moment, Ni Feng spoke, "Because I am the reincarnated Phoenix Girl, my body has always been weaker than the others since I was born, so I avoided manifesting my Dharma as much as possible. My father knew about this as well, so the ghosts were usually recaptured by him. Actually, I should not be doing this, but since today involves the life and death of the Exorcist City, putting my all into this to prove myself is not a big deal at all!"

  Chapter 852 - A Slap In The Face (Part 1)

  "Eldest Young Lady!" After hearing Ni Feng's words, the disciples of the Ni Family were deeply moved.

  Even the exorcist elders had looks of guilt on their faces, "Feng'er, don't push yourself too hard. Everybody knows about your physical condition."

  "Uncles and aunties, I know that you care for me. However, since Brother Yun has mentioned it, if I really don't do something, then those hostile ghosts would prevail." After Ni Feng spoke, she coughed a few times, as if to show how weak her body was.

  Upon seeing this, the exorcist elders could not help but be angry, "If Feng'er is able to manifest the Light of Buddha and create the Dharma of the Phoenix, then every single person from the Zhuge Manor has to be arrested! Only then will it be fair for Feng'er!"

  "Even if Ni Feng can't manifest the Light of Buddha, it will still be my own fault. Why must you involve other people?!" Of course, Zhuge Yun could not accept that condition. He felt that this whole matter was going too far! These exorcist elders were completely deceived by Ni Feng. They would subconsciously defend Ni Feng no matter the circ.u.mstances! Could it be that the words 'Phoenix Girl' had left a very deep impression on the Exorcising Tribe?

  The situation took an unexpected turn. Elder Zhang looked at him and said, "If it turns out that you are wrong, and people from the Zhuge Manor are not arrested, how do we pacify the people of Exorcist City? If we simply let every single person who has questioned the Phoenix Girl go, won't the Exorcist City be in more chaos?! Ah Yun, you are the heir of the Zhuge family. You must be mindful of what you say. Nobody can hide the truth from the people in the Exorcist City. Since we have accepted your request to let Feng'er prove her innocence by manifesting the Light of Buddha and creating Dharma, you should pay the corresponding price as w
ell."

  This was indeed the rule of the Exorcist City.

  Precisely, Ni Feng knew about this rule.

  So she was sure that he would not agree to it.

  Zhuge Yun gritted his teeth. If it was only himself, it would not matter, but betting the entire Zhuge family…

  Hesitation appeared on Zhuge Yun's face as his young mind filled with countless apprehensions…

  "We agree." Madam Zhuge walked out from behind him. Both her hands were still tied together, yet she possessed an imposing presence that was indescribable, "Ah Yun, our Zhuge family has always had a clear conscience when doing things. Knowing the truth yet being afraid to expose it, letting the evildoers cause mischief in Exorcist City, is not the style of the Zhuge family. Let them begin then. The Zhuge family is in this together, we are not afraid of getting arrested, let alone being threatened!"

  As if stunned by Madam Zhuge's speech, one by one, the small group of children stood forward.

  They were still very young. The Zhuge family had fallen early, so although they had been born into an exorcist family, they had never been worshipped like the Ni family.

  Even so, these little boys had learned certain principles since childhood. For instance, guardianship.

  Looking at his own little brothers, Zhuge Yun's eyes turned red.

  The rest of the exorcists also stood forward, their actions expressing that they wished to live and die together with the Zhuge family.

  Zhuge Yun looked up again, this time with stubborn heroism, "Alright then, just as my mother said, the Zhuge family agrees with the conditions. Now, Ni Feng, shouldn't you start manifesting the Light of Buddha and creating Dharma?"

  Ni Feng narrowed her eyes. She did not expect the Zhuge family to have this kind of capability.

  But did they think they could expose her just like that?

  If it was before, then they would have succeeded.

  But now, it was different.

  Ni Feng smiled faintly and turned toward Madam Zhuge, pretending to look burdened, "I never wanted the situation to escalate to this point. I just wanted to temporarily imprison those who were possessed by the hostile ghosts and let them go once the city was safe. Since Auntie insists, I have no other choice."

  After speaking, Ni Feng put her palms together. Her lips moved while reciting words. The tips of her fingers twitched and her long sleeves fluttered. A stream of spiritual aura slowly flowed out of her.

  Almost everyone felt the auspicious vibe flowing from her body, it was such a refreshing feeling.

  Shortly afterward, the Light of Buddha descended from the sky, covering her whole body. From a distance, she looked like a fairy. Even the gaps between her fingers were glowing brightly.

  The faint ray of light formed into a pattern behind her. It was a firework of Sanskrits, a Dharma of Buddha which nobody could deny!

  Only those who had the Dharma fate could do this!

  How could it be?!

  It should not have turned out like this!

  Zhuge Yun's heart began to feel heavy.

  When they were in the ancient tomb, Ni Feng's body clearly emitted a corpse's aura. How could she still possess the Light of Buddha, let alone manifest a Dharma of Buddha?!

  Zhuge Yun took a step back heavily, looking up at Ni Feng, who had a faint smile on her face.

  He instantly understood.

  He had walked right into her trap!

  Was he really supposed to just let Ni Feng have her own way?

  Zhuge Yun clenched his fists. Why was he so useless?!

  No doubt, he had expected the outcome.

  With the Dharma of Buddha, those people would only worship Ni Feng even more.

  She did this intentionally according to his words!

  One after another, they snapped back to reality and exclaimed in admiration, "So this is the Dharma of the Phoenix, what a blessing to the Exorcising Tribe. I can die without any regrets now that I have finally seen this kind of scene in this lifetime!"

  "Poor Feng'er, she is clearly the Phoenix Girl reincarnate and yet, she is always doubted." Somebody looked at Ni Feng, feeling sorry for her.

  Ni Feng lightly coughed a few times, looking like she did not even have the strength to speak, "It's alright. As long as I can reassure everyone and protect Exorcist City, this is not a big deal to me."

  "Feng'er, don't talk anymore, you should take a rest first," said Old Zhang, before suddenly turning to look at Zhuge Yun. "What else do you have to say now? Do you still wish to say Feng'er is an impersonator? Ah Yun, you have truly disappointed me. Look at you now, even if you go to the Underground, your father would be ashamed of you!"

  Ni Feng tugged at Old Zhang's sleeves, "Uncle Zhang, don't blame Brother Yun. He has been possessed by the hostile ghosts, that's why he had come up with this kind of trick. However, he has been possessed for too long. It would be difficult for us to bring his sanity back."

  "Bring his sanity back?" The disciples of the Ni family shouted, "Those who have been possessed by the hostile ghosts should be killed on the spot! The Zhuge family insisted on protecting their youngsters! Now that this situation has occurred, merely arresting them is not enough! Zhuge Yun, you provocative evil spirit, prepare to die!"

  As quick as lightning, five to six disciples drew their swords and stabbed at Zhuge Yun!

  At this very moment!

  A slender, pale hand clasped the wrist of one of the disciples that held a sword. Its strength was so great that the disciple could not even move an inch!

  Chapter 853 - 849

  It's Miss Wei!

  Zhuge Yun's eyes promptly lit up with great excitement.

  All the other exorcists stopped moving as well, their eyes sparkling. Their previously despondent and hopeless eyes seemed to revive instantly, and became glaringly bright.

  "Ahh!" The disciple suddenly cried in pain, as his legs gave way. Looking at the person clasping his wrist with quivering eyes, he yelled, "Who are you!"

  Helian Wei Wei smirked, her eyes were delicate and pretty. She was standing against the light, her figure slender and straight with a magnificent temperament, just like a queen arriving in person. Then, she replied, "Who am I? Your Eldest Young Lady who's pretending to be the Phoenix Girl should know very well."

  "You, how dare you insult our Eldest Young Lady! As expected, you are one of Zhuge Yun's people!" The disciple tried to stand up…

  However, Helian Wei Wei squinted her eyes and glared at him with a piercing gaze, yelling, "Blackie, go get him!"

  Following her command, a huge dark shadow appeared from the fog. Shaking its black fur, it looked like it had the ability to destroy everything as it pounced at the disciple.

  What is that!

  Everyone widened their eyes. It was only at this moment that they could clearly see the dark gigantic shadow.

  It was a black magical dog, which could subdue four to five people at once. Its claws seemed extremely dangerous as well. It seemed like a messenger from Hell as it stared at them with its scarlet red eyes, as though it would end everyone's lives if they moved a little.

  Everything happened too fast for them to do anything, they did not even have a chance to retaliate.

  Before they could react, their Mahogany Swords were swiped from their hands. Undoubtedly, they could sense the dangerous aura emanating from the black dog.

  Besides, this magical dog was not even afraid of the Mahogany Sword and their spiritual aura, looking as if it could easily tear them into pieces with a swift movement of its head.

  What terrified them even more was that, such a huge magical being actually retracted its paw with just a mere command from Helian Wei Wei.

  "Alright, you can return now." Helian Wei Wei smiled.

  With that command, the black magical dog swiftly returned to her side. Its long black fur emitted a suffocating sense of hellish malice, as endless black fog emanated from its body. It was so overpowering, one could instantly die if they saw its red devilish eyes.


  In spite of that, she merely stood in front of it with a smile, with her robes billowing in the wind, resembling a dictator who was capable of taming every magical being in the world.

  Every street in Exorcist City fell to a deadly silence, and no one had the courage to step forward.

  Feeling an unprecedented threat, those senior exorcists looked straight into Helian Wei Wei's eyes and asked, "What kind of demon are you exactly?"

  "Demon?" Helian Wei Wei chuckled, her eyes full of mockery. She did not pay the exorcists any attention, and merely stared at Ni Feng's trembling eyes, saying, "You should be very disappointed that I'm still alive, aren't you? Lady Ni?"

  Ni Feng panicked for a short while, but she quickly regained her composure. So what if this woman is still alive?
