The Anarchic Consort

Chapter 756: Looking Down On The Third Prince?

Perhaps it was just as the Son of the King of Hell had mentioned earlier, both of them knew each other from before.

At least, she recognized him, otherwise, she would not stand behind him, watching him leave.

Baili Jia Jue’s beautiful eyes deepened. If they seriously knew each other, then it must have happened before he had fallen from heaven.

“What’s wrong?” Helian Wei Wei observed the side view of his face. “Is it that difficult for you to answer? I thought it would be a love-hate relationship between us, an exorcist and a devil, what a remarkable subject matter!”

Baili Jia Jue smiled, “An exorcist? That’s the perception of ordinary human beings. You were actually not a human back then.”

“Not human? Then what was I?” Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows.

Baili Jia Jue answered her with a faint tone, “God.”

A fire phoenix, born from Nirvana.

A person with such dharma could have high chances to be related to God descending to earth.

Helian Wei Wei was even more puzzled, she then mumbled, “If I was a God, I would have tracked you down to attack you. How could it be possible that we have not battled before? What a waste of such a great opportunity!”

“Do you really want to fight me?” Baili Jia Jue suddenly turned around and kissed her ear when no one was watching; it was a quick, soft touch. “Sure, but if you lose, I’ll punish you as I like.”

Helian Wei Wei kept silent as her face turned red.

When Zhuge Yun turned around, his face was filled with confusion. Did something happen?

Helian Wei Wei coughed lightly and kept on walking forward with a sluggish face.

Baili Jia Jue, on the other hand, seemed to be in a better mood as he revealed a smile on the corner of his lips. The light from the fire torches was reflected in his eyes, forming a diamond-like texture on the skin and dim gold color of evilness came into sight.

Zhuge Yun wanted to take a closer look but Baili Jia Jue lifted his eyes and took a glance at him, showing almost an enchanting aura of elegance and nobility.

Zhuge Yun shook his head. I must have been mistaken, how could a person like him have magic?

However, Zhuge Yun who was merely a human being was not aware that demons possessed great imitation skills.

They had learned about the human’s obsession with greed to the fullest since the first day they set foot in the human world.

This was the reason why their expert demons could disguise perfectly as a gentleman.

Yet, the young and inexperienced Zhuge Yun did not pay too much attention to it and continued walking along with the troupe.

Everyone intentionally avoided the ancient black wooden coffin.

The old man was right, the ancient coffin was indeed strange.

The coffin was full of marks with a Chinese talisman pasted on top of it. Judging from the Chinese talisman, one could tell that it seemed to be from ancient times. If it was not for the Demon Binding Frost Iron Chain, the Chinese talisman would have been washed off by water long ago. Luckily, exorcism was able to resist external forces.

Even so, everyone should not let down their guards.

Not knowing if it was Ni Hu’s illusion, he could feel that the ancient black wooden coffin turned its direction along with their walking route.

Finally, they walked past Yin River and reached the distance where they could push open the tomb door for real.

At this moment in time, Ni Hu rolled his eyes, plotting a sinister plan in his mind. “Brother Yun, since you all have arrived earlier than us, then supposedly, aren’t you all responsible for opening the main entrance of the tomb?

“What?” Zhuge Yun did not expect Ni Hu to put in such a request out of the blue.

Ni Biao was mindful of his beloved son’s intention. He then sneaked a glance at both sides and the two disciples from the Ni family immediately kept away the Dog Blood Red Rope and the Binding Frost Iron Chain that they had prepared earlier.

Ni Hu laughed arrogantly, “What’s wrong? Are you afraid, Brother Yun? That’s impossible, wasn’t your team the first to arrive at the entrance? How could you be afraid of opening a mere door?”

Zhuge Yun knew that Ni Hu did it on purpose.

Every exorcist was mindful of how risky it was for the first person who chose to open the tomb door as the methane gas from the ground would gush out all at once. If the exorcist was not filled with spiritual aura, it was very likely that this person would die due to the gas.

More importantly, this was no ordinary graveyard, but a millennium-old royal tomb.

No one had any idea what would happen once the tomb door was open.

“Brother Yun, we are all waiting for you. Hurry up, we are running out of time.” Ni Hu gloated as he urged him, waiting to watch Helian Wei Wei and others embarrassed themselves.

Regardless of the fact that Zhuge Yun was equipped with the strongest spiritual aura among the ones in the same generation, Ni Hu was well-aware of the extent of Zhuge Yun’s power.

His desire to break open the tomb with his power was almost impossible, hence there was a high possibility that he would get himself in great danger.

As for the other two amateurs, they were not within Ni Hu’s consideration. Being able to fight did not mean that they would have the capability to resist the strange tomb. Judging from their empty hands without Chinese talisman or Dog Blood Red Rope, one could tell that they were not qualified exorcists at all. They were apparently here to look for death!

He was not afraid that Zhuge Yun would reject his request.

If he chose to reject, the round where the Zhuge family came first would be counted as nothing.

The Ni family was at an advantage in this matter.

After all, it was the regulation of the competition, despite other exorcists knowing that Ni Hu’s actions were unethical.

However, competition would always be a competition.

The competitor must be able to abide by the rules, no point competing if one did not have the means to accept the victory.

Zhuge Yun looked at Ni Hu’s provocative look, knowing that he must accept it. “Fine, but I have a request. It is just opening a tomb door anyway, I shall go alone. My two other teammates would stay out of it.”

“Of course, I am not such an unreasonable person as long as Brother Yun, you adhere to the competition rules and open the tomb door.” Ni Hu sneered in his heart. All he wanted was one of them to die, as for the remaining two, there was still time, he was not in a hurry at all.

Zhuge Yun bit his lips and was about to move forward with his mahogany sword.

A slender figure went ahead to block his way. It was a tall and upright figure with an aura filled with abstinence. “I’ll open it.”

Zhuge Yun startled and was about to refuse.

However, His Highness was always a person who would act in his own ways, not giving anyone a chance to speak.

He just walked toward it slowly with his lips slightly curved, resembling a smile.

Ni Hu felt a shiver down his spine the moment he made eye contact with His Highness.

Not sure whether it was the rays of light from the graveyard or his skin was overly pale, or perhaps it was due to the matching of his white and blue attire, the expression in his eyes was dull, although the pupils reflected bright golden light.

Ni Hu was baffled, why did the man appear as though he was excited?

“It’s best if he didn’t know anything,” Ni Biao smiled and said with hints of sarcasm in his words. “He doesn’t even know what would happen if he were to push open the tomb door. He still has room to act wildly and accept challenges, unlike old people like us, we could not possibly take on something which we could not accomplish.”

Upon finishing his words, he even looked as if he was worried about Baili Jia Jue as he shook his head with sympathy. He seemed to have expected that Baili Jia Jue would not be able to make it out alive.

The other exorcists thought so too, thinking that it was not an easy task, thus, an outsider would definitely not have the capability to pull it off.
