âWhich means they have given up on the Sarira and chose to find the thing that you mentioned?â Helian Wei Weiâs mind was moving fast, even at this hour.
Old Li nodded his head and said, âItâs a magical mirror which allows one to pass through the Gate of Life and Death. Once it leaves the royal tomb, the road to the Underworld will be opened. After the ancient tomb falls into the enemyâs hands, Exorcist City will be the next target.â
âExorcist City mustnât fall into enemy hands! If the Exorcist City is gone, the Divine Exorcism Seal will be destroyed thoroughly! When that time comes, demons will be able to move around unhindered and the Six Dao of Reincarnation will be destroyed, there will be no leeway for humans!â Upon hearing this, Zhuge Yun could not help but shouted, âWhy is there such a thing in the tomb?!â
Old Li reached out to cover his face after hearing Zhuge Yunâs words. âItâs all my fault, I shouldnât have told them about this.â
âOld Li, you donât have to blame yourself,â Helian Wei Wei said, her eyes beaming with faint light. âEven if you didnât tell them, they wouldâve already known about the existence of the mirror in the royal tomb. Someone would definitely have figured out everything if he wanted to revive the former Ni Feng. Should they fail to obtain the Sarira, they will choose the second plan, this is the true reason as to why the Ni family wanted to enter the royal tomb.â As she spoke, she turned her attention to the exorcists. âThis is also the reason why Master Yun was trying to stop everyone at first, but he was uncertain about many things and could not explain clearly to all of you. Now that the truth has been laid out in front of you, itâs pointless to look into the past to ascertain where the responsibility lies. Iâll get the Sarira, as for the others, all the demons in this tomb will be awakened soon, we need to work together so that we can get out of here alive.â
All the exorcists nodded solemnly.
On the contrary, Ni Hu did not move an inch. He seemed to be stupefied, staring at the corpse lying beside his feet.
He was the only one from the Ni family who did not undergo mutation.
However, he felt all the more miserable because he was still clear-headed.
âHow did this happen? It shouldnât be like this!â Ni Hu burst into tears, he looked like he was nearing death with his leg injury and the bite wound on his neck.
Helian Wei Wei did not have the time to bother about him. She was never a saint. However, Ni Hu tugged at her trousers as she wanted to walk away. âThereâs no way my sister is a corpse, there must be a mistake! Maybe she became like this after eating the magical pill, just like my father! â
âNo.â Helian Wei Wei knew that Ni Hu simply wanted the truth. She looked into his eyes, her voice was soft but loud enough for everyone to hear clearly. âShe has been a corpse since the beginning, even your father was bewitched by her to eat the magical pill. Perhaps you didnât realize it yet, she disguised herself with the spiritual aura that she absorbed from your father. Your father knew using corpses to raise zombies would cause great resentment, but he did it anyway because he wanted to seize the whole Exorcist City. Itâs the same reason why he didnât stop you from bullying the Zhuge family, not to mention cooperating with other families to suppress them. He wanted to arrogate all powers to himself, but he didnât want his ambition to be known to the public. Owing to the fact that the exorcists wouldnât follow him into the tomb and would even deter him from entering once they learn about his intention. Of course, your father was being taken advantage of. He actually thought that he could obtain all the power and influence once he gets his hands on the Sarira. As a matter of fact, your sister just wanted to borrow his hands to complete the Art of Resurrection Against God. It will be the death of your father as soon as she gets the Sarira!â
âI donât believe it, you are simply lying! For several generations, our Ni family always had only one descendant for each generation, of all our descendants, we never had a girl before. Once a baby girl is born, she would definitely be the reincarnation of the Phoenix Girl. The Phoenix Girl from back then was from the Ni family, that was the reason why my father named my sister as Ni Feng, because sheâs the Phoenix Girl! Do you know what it means to be a Phoenix Girl? She would never do the things you said!â Ni Hu was so agitated that he was on the verge of a mental breakdown.
Helian Wei Wei suddenly halted as she was about to take a step. âIn that case, let me tell you the truth. The Phoenix Girl has never been reincarnated in the Ni family, itâs nothing but a lie made up by your ancestors for the sake of the interest it will bring!â
Right at that moment.
The entire ancient royal tomb fell into an unprecedented silence.
Ni Huâs eyes widened in disbelief.
Old Li also turned to look at Helian Wei Wei. âYoung Brother Wei, I do not doubt your words. Iâm just curious about how you knew the Ni family had lied back then? That was hundreds of years ago.â
âOld Li will naturally understand it after we obtain the Sarira.â Without any hesitation, Helian Wei Wei walked into the last cave.
Zhuge Yun followed behind her quickly, his voice was full of admiration. âBrother Wei, you are so amazing. You made the woman show her true colors by simply using a candle! Is there such a method written in the Art of Exorcism manual? Iâve never seen it before.â
âNo.â Helian Wei Wei made a slight pause upon saying that. âThereâs no such method, I just used it to save my time and goad her into going ballistic. In fact, be it a corpse or a human holding the candle, the fire on the candle wonât go out if you donât blow at it.â
Zhuge Yun was speechless. So everything you said just now, which sounded so serious with concrete evidence, was nothing but a lie!
Helian Wei Wei did not feel guilty at all. âOf course, you must use some tricks to win against this kind of skilled actors. Young man, you still have a long way to go, so you need to learn how to act according to circumstances.â
Both the bigger and smaller fetuses nodded heavily, it seemed like they agreed with their mother. Thatâs right, as humans, we must know how to act according to circumstances!
Zhuge Yun murmured, âIf Ni Feng were to know that you were simply testing her and could not really verify her authenticity, perhaps she would regret it to the point of coughing up blood.â
âShe wouldnât know as long as you donât tell hert...â Helian Wei Wei looked back at Zhuge Yun and smiled. âWhen youâve become smarter, you can tell her about this the next time you see her, she will be grinding her teeth in vexation for sure, maybe she will show her true colors for the second time.â
Zhuge Yun was shocked by the words of Helian Wei Wei. âSee her again? How is that possible?â
âWhy not?â Helian Wei Wei looked at the main coffin nearby, her eyes darkened. âYouâve seen those mutated exorcists. Many more people in Exorcist City will undergo mutation once Ni Feng revives. We wonât be moving faster than them as I need to get the Sarira first. Besides, that person beside her would be difficult to deal with, do you know who he is? â
Zhuge Yun shook his head, he never paid attention to Ni Fengâs escort as that person did a great job at hiding himself.
If it was not because of his graceful skills, Zhuge Yun would have thought that he was just an ordinary person.
âExorcist Guardian, Jing Wushuang.â Helian Wei Weiâs fingers glided over the handle of her gun. âTherefore, we will definitely see Ni Feng again. Whatâs more, thereâll be a tough battle to fight in Exorcist City...â
