Chapter 753: The Previous Life Of The Two
Ni Biao did wonder about one thing, how come Lord Xu and his troops are not at the tomb entrance yet?
According to the plan, they should have arrived already.
Perhaps it’s because they lost Zhuge Yun and his troops on the way here, but then again, based on their capabilities, they should be able to arrive before the deadline.
Could it be that they have encountered something unexpected?
Ni Biao turned around with his eyes deep in thoughts.
A disciple came over and whispered something in his ear.
Ni Biao’s eyes squinted. “Couldn’t be found?” Now things are getting fishy. Where in the world are Lord Xu and his troops?
The disciple gazed at Ni Biao and speculated, “Could it be that Lord Xu and his troops were eaten by the monsters living below Well Sea Waterfall?”
Ni Biao thought for a moment before replying, “I don’t think so.” Even those pricks were able to cross Well Sea Waterfall and arrive at the tomb entrance. It meant that they did not awaken the monsters so Lord Xu should have no problem crossing over. “Whatever, it’s no big deal. Let’s enter the tomb first. You guys stand guard at the entrance and wait for Lord Xu, tell him to wait here.”
At least Lord Xu could lend a helping hand at the entrance when something went wrong after he obtained the Sarira.
As proud as Ni Biao was, he did not even consider any other possibilities, not even thinking perhaps Lord Xu silently disappeared because someone had eliminated him. Moreover, he could not even make sense of the fact that the person who would take the lead in the graveyard was not him but a demon king…
The person who was standing next to Helian Wei Wei was examining the stone wall at the tomb entrance with his pair of deep eyes. He looked like intellectual judging from his side profile, on the face of it he would even be considered graceful and elegant. In actual fact, there was something sinister about him when he smirked to himself, “Interesting.”
Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows. “What’s interesting?”
“Nothing.” Baili Jia Jue adjusted his long robe as he stared at the secret passage leading to the graveyard. “I thought of an old friend of mine just by looking at the graveyard now.”
Helian Wei Wei’s curiosity piqued. “Old friend? Do you mean Ni Feng?”
“It wasn’t someone important.” Baili Jia Jue gave a short reply, then proceeded to take Helian Wei Wei into the graveyard under his care.
What he did not share with Helian Wei Wei was that the old friend he mentioned was in fact herself in the previous life.
Legend has it that she was his most dreaded immortal exorcist.
In her previous life, she was probably living in this area as, during that time, he also resided on this mountain.
Even though he had never encountered that immortal being, he could feel the Buddhist aura surrounding Mount White.
That kind of Buddhist aura, not knowing its real body could be felt even within a meter below ground in the magical realm.
At that time, he was not interested in conquering the magical realm. He was purely living to hunt and kill.
The most interesting thing was to watch the fear and struggle of a human when they came face to face with death.
Most of them would pray out loud to their God, hoping for a savior to rescue them.
God?
He had always disregarded the idea of God.
Instead of praying to God, they should pray to a demon like him.
At the very least, he let them have their vengeance, and whatever they desire most.
Of course, all these were done in exchange for their souls.
However, he did come to a realization that those souls were too much alike, everyone was the same.
They were all filled with greed and it was boring to him.
Hence, he remained unsatisfied until he encountered that familiar Buddhist aura, causing his impulsiveness to be slowly replaced with peacefulness…
“Looks like Father is thinking about an old lover.” The bigger fetus in Helian Wei Wei’s belly moved and snorted, “I knew we couldn’t count on him. Once I’m out of here, I’ll take care of you and Mother, we’ll go somewhere far away.”
The smaller fetus felt the urge to touch his forehead for his brother was always against their father. He could almost foresee that once they entered the real world, their father would not have any patience for them. He would probably just get the palace maids to care for the children. After all, Father has zero-tolerance to anyone who has ever offended him or Mother. But…
“Elder brother, was there a change in your power today?” The smaller fetus asked with his eyes wide open.
The bigger fetus carefully hugged the smaller fetus as if protecting him, his tone determined, “Yes. Once we enter the graveyard, I’ll gain even more power. I know that you won’t be able to adapt, so when the time comes, don’t attempt to purify me. Just close your eyes and have a good sleep. You don’t have to worry about those demons. Father won’t let anything happen to Mother.”
“I’m not worried about the demons. If Father decides to show what he’s capable of, they would run away with tails between their legs, just like the one under the waterfall today. It slid away faster than a mudskipper could. What I’m worried about is the very dense Yin energy in the graveyard that may cause Mother to be possessed. If that happens, I…” The smaller fetus had yet to finish his sentence.
The bigger fetus interrupted him and said simply, “I’m here.”
The smaller fetus looked at the bigger fetus with his bright red eyes, then gave a smile as he nodded, putting all the trust into his guardian angel.
The bigger fetus patted him on the back clumsily yet firmly.
Those two then cuddled each other, forehead to forehead, such a heart-warming pair of siblings.
It was apparent that what others said were true, the mother’s heart is linked to her children. Helian Wei Wei must have noticed the movements in her belly as she smiled and caressed her belly, her expression softened.
After entering the graveyard, the crowd seemed to quiet down.
Especially the old tomb raider who used to be a grave robber, his whole body was trembling as he led the way.
The exorcists’ expression started to turn gloomy.
“No, we can’t do this.” The old man shook his head and said repeatedly, “We can’t go in. Once you release something in there, we can never seize it and place it back where it belongs!”
They had already entered the graveyard, hence Ni Biao could not turn back at this point. He stared at the old man and smiled as he said, “Old Zhang, please don’t worry about that. We’re all men with skills in Taoist art, and we’re capable of putting everything back to where they belong.” Then, he went on to his disciples without waiting for a reply, “You guys push the door open. Remember to hold onto the Dog Blood Red Rope. If there’s anything strange, don’t wait to act.”
“Yes, sir.” The disciples of the Ni family were quick to respond.
Zhuge Yun wanted to stop them, but he knew there was nothing he could say to convince others. All the other exorcists also wanted the door to be open in order to obtain the Sarira…
