The Anarchic Consort c1-1376

by Warring Young Seven

  It turned out that the magical being had long since picked up the scent of humans. It laid itself on the water surface while curling its long spiked tail as it waited for someone to walk over and fall into its trap.

  It intended to feast on that pregnant woman.

  Humans might get affected by disguises and thus lose the ability of judgment.

  Unlike humans, it only took one look for it to notice that one of these three humans was a woman dressed as a man and she was pregnant.

  It even picked up the scent of the fetus. It would be a delicious meal indeed.

  It's probably because both his parents are exorcists, which explains why such a treasure is created.

  The more the magical being thought about this, the more it drooled, it could barely control its appetite. It swam over swiftly while swishing its long tail.

  Unexpectedly, a pair of eyes filled with devilish aura came face to face with the magical being as it began to surface. A flicker of golden light passed through those eyes that were initially as black as the night sky when the magical being showed itself.

  He… isn't he...

  "King..."

  The magical being's voice trembled the initial excitement that caused it to b.a.r.e its fangs was gone due to the man's presence. It drew itself back while shaking like a leaf as it was terrified that the man might just pluck out its magic book on a whim.

  "Get lost!" One single phrase.

  The magical being swam faster than fish in the water, it did not even dare to turn its head around!

  On this side, Zhuge Yun was still on guard. He would never have guessed that the danger was resolved and all it took was for His Highness to show his face.

  Chapter 746 - The Father And Son Of The Ni Family Were Causing Trouble Again!

  "Father!" Ni Hu strode to Ni Biao's side quickly and spoke with his voice lowered, "It seems like there are some movements from the magical being by the waterfall."

  Ni Biao was not the least surprised upon hearing that. Instead, he scoffed, "This is but a small lesson for them. Your Uncle Xu should have already made a move, just wait until those three lose their limbs, they will be carried to the tomb entrance. People will be there to witness what a joke they are by then."

  Ni Hu nodded, the smile on his face appeared more arrogant than ever.

  The other exorcists noticed and came over to ask, "Young Master Ni, any good news?"

  "Someone from the Zhuge family gave the bold words that they wanted to win against our Ni family before we set out but it seems like it's possible that they will not make it even if we waited for three hours after reaching the tomb entrance."

  Those who heard him burst out laughing. "The Zhuge family's team is still dreaming of winning?"

  "Isn't that like throwing straws against the wind?"

  "Who wouldn't agree with that? Of all the people to challenge, they are foolhardy to have decided to throw down the gauntlet to Young Master Ni."

  "In my opinion, Young Master Ni couldn't care less about them, otherwise how could they still be living?"

  "There is nothing to care about, the difference between their strengths are too big. It's just that those foreign exorcists are too good at bragging. Young Master Ni aside, think about Lady Ni, is she someone who can be defeated simply by anyone?"

  "I don't think that any of us will be able to see them even if all the teams on our route have arrived."

  "For all we know, they might not even make it here alive. This sort of team ought to just die out on their own, they really are biting off more than they can chew."

  Listening to the remarks from all around him, Ni Hu's conceit ballooned to an even greater size. He was eager to reach the entrance of the tomb to witness how embarrassing and pathetic those three would be.

  "How are things, Father? Have you heard from Uncle Xu?" Ni Hu turned his head and asked softly.

  A smile appeared on Ni Biao's face as he listened to the commotion. "Now that the noises have died down, it should be that your two uncles have chased the magical being away. They must be dragging the Zhuge Yun team out of there right now. Let's just proceed forward and wait near the entrance of the tomb."

  "Alright!" Ni Hu liked to witness other people regretting their actions the most. He had only thought of breaking Zhuge Yun's arm initially but the two others had been acting recklessly repeatedly so he would not be sorry to spare them no mercy!

  It was an undeniable truth that there had been the least amount of damage on this route with the father and son of the Ni family. Seven out of the 10 teams survived.

  Also, they did not see any teams from the other routes on the way up the mountain, which further convinced the father and son of the Ni family that they won!

  It was already dusk when they were partway near the meeting point at the entrance of the tomb and someone shouted out with surprise, "Everyone! Look! A red flag! Someone reached!"

  "Who could be so fast?" The exorcists looked at each other in confusion.

  Ni Hu was acting extremely arrogant. "Who else? That must be my elder sister. All of you must have never seen my elder sister before, you can finally meet her later on."

  The crowd was overwhelmed with adoration upon hearing his words. "The reincarnation of Phoenix Girl, indeed! We will never be able to beat this speed even if we spend another 10 years in cultivation. Look at those incense sticks, they should have reached more than six hours ago."

  "Lady Ni is really amazing! I've never believed in the rumors about her as the reincarnation of Phoenix Girl before this. Now that she's here, all those rumors finally made sense!"

  "Shush, don't say that in front of the Ni family. They might get offended."

  "In my opinion, the Zhuge family is done for. After all, Zhuge Yun is still quite young, there are some things that will be too hard for him."

  "He brought this on himself. The power of the Ni family is something that everyone can see. Even Lady Ni is kind and thoughtful, yet he's still claiming that the Ni family has some hidden motives."

  "Let's see when he can turn up later. He might even get killed while on his way."

  The people shook their heads as they talked while continued moving. A breathtaking goddess-like silhouette caught their attention before they reached the tomb entrance.

  That woman was in a white fur robe, unlike the others who were in the green costumes. She had a hat with a veil on her head which made her look even more ethereal. Although the white veil covered her face, her somewhat morbid beauty was hard to be concealed.

  Faint coughs were heard from her before the people could approach her. She sounded so weak that it made them wonder if she was having some sort of serious illness, which resulted in them to have a d.e.s.i.r.e to protect her.

  A girl who looked like her servant was standing behind her. She was quite normal in appearance, but her eyes were exuding a refined temperament like an ancient well.

  The servant handed a heated oil lamp to the woman, her voice was also gentle, "Take care, my lady."

  The lady of the Ni family looked really approachable and kind, even her attitude toward her servant was very gentle, "Thank you."

  That servant smiled and returned to her position behind Ni Feng.

  The exorcists had heard of the beauty of the Ni family's Eldest Young Lady before, but they had never seen her. Looking at her now, each of them was unwilling to disturb her tranquility.

  From what they saw, the temperament of Lady Ni alone was enough to qualify her as the reincarnation of Phoenix Girl, not to mention the spiritual aura that surrounded her.

  Every single exorcist felt that they had finally come face to face with a real fairy, the admiration in their hearts becoming even greater.

  Ni Hu's whole face had arrogance written all over it. "Everyone, this is my sister, the true reincarnation of Phoenix Girl!"

  "Little Tiger, stop showing off." Ni Feng coughed twice lightly, her face adorned with a fitting smile.

  Despite her words, she did not deny a
nything that he said.

  The exorcists never believed the rumors initially. However, having seen Ni Feng, all their doubts were cleared.

  It would have been impossible for a weak woman like her to reach here so much earlier than all of them if she was not the reincarnation of Phoenix Girl. She must be it!

  It did not even cross the exorcists' minds that the red flag might have been placed there by someone else. There was nothing but more adoration within their hearts.

  Ni Biao c.a.r.e.s.sed his beard and nodded his head with satisfaction as he witnessed the scene. All that is left now is for Old Xu and the others to carry those three over here to apologize to the Ni family. Everything will be perfect by then...

  Chapter 747 - The Beginning Of Getting Humiliated!

  Zhuge Yun should never be allowed to remain.

  However, he could not let him die either.

  Since Zhuge Yun had doubted their Ni family in front of everyone, the Ni family would be definitely be suspected if he died out of the blue.

  He planned to ask his men to rescue Zhuge Yun in front of everyone.

  As to what would he do to him after he had been saved, that was another matter. He should be unable to move an inch at this moment and he would be unable to stand in the way of his plans.

  Letting him live not only would prove to the world that the Ni family had no evil intent but they would also win over the hearts of numerous people.

  It would also serve as a warning to those from the Zhuge family that the Ni Family was not someone they could challenge and it would have been better for them to behave themselves in the future!

  Unlike Ni Biao, Ni Hu was incapable of hiding his emotions, he was already having the 'we are the winners' face on. He was looking behind him with extreme distaste when he said, "We're already here but Zhuge Yun and the rest haven't. Who knows when they'll arrive? Don't let us wait until tomorrow, I don't have the patience for that."

  "I think that we should enter the graveyard first. Who knows how much longer we'll have to wait," someone suggested.

  Ni Biao shook his head pretentiously, acting as a wise elder, "It's not easy for everyone to reach this point, what's more, Zhuge Yun is the only son of the Zhuge family. It's alright to wait for them, the sky isn't even dark yet."

  Never before had anyone dared to humiliate him like those young rascals. He had to return the embarrassment!

  Although the others did not understand Ni Biao's thoughts, his son Ni Hu clearly understood and started laughing arrogantly, "I think we should listen to my father and wait for them."

  "Old Master Ni and Young Master Ni really have a strong sense of justice." Someone gave them a thumbs-up, praising, "I can't believe that Old Master Ni is still advising us to wait for Zhuge Yun even though he doubted the Ni family so much."

  "They won't win even if we waited, there are already 12 teams here including us. Since two of the teams withdrew from the competition voluntarily, Zhuge Yun is definitely the last place."

  A figure walked down from the mountain as the exorcists were busy talking and it was no other than Zhuge Yun. He was unexpectedly relaxed and he even had the leisure to catch three fishes using his mahogany sword.

  "Yo, Young Master Yun has finally arrived!" The disciples of Ni family were calling him Young Master Yun but they were actually mocking him. "Where are the two companions of yours? They didn't die on the way here and end up not being able to come up here with you right?"

  "Just look at him, it's obvious that that happened. Young Master Yun, you really took your time here. We've already been here for a while before you finally show up. You have to be disqualified since you're last!"

  Those from the Ni family started laughing loudly after that and nobody tried to stop them.

  Ni Hu was also curious as to why Zhuge Yun came up here all by himself. According to the plan, his two uncles should have brought the trio whose limbs were broken here together. So, why are his two uncles nowhere to be seen?

  Perhaps they were separated halfway through the journey? Ni Hu looked at Zhuge Yun's anxious look, confirmed his own guess and walked to Zhuge Yun arrogantly, "Brother Yun, one shouldn't be too brash as a person, there is a limit as for what you can do. There's no use in talking big, don't you agree? See, you're the one who loses face in the end. Tsk tsk, there's no need to make things the way they are. You costed your partners' lives yet you are still unable to qualify to enter the graveyard. Those foreign exorcists are even more hilarious, how dare they say that they wanted to win against the Ni family? They really don't know their own worth!"

  "I…" Zhuge Yun furrowed his brow and wanted to say something.

  However, Ni Hu did not bother about it and turned around to face Ni Feng. "Sister, why don't you tell him when did you place the red flag here so that he understands just how far of a distance is he from the Ni family!"

  "Red flag?" Ni Feng began to cough lightly, her elegant features covered by the white veil. Confused, she asked, "What red flag?"

  Ni Hu was stunned, "The red flag halfway up the mountain! Aren't you the one who placed it there?"

  "No." Ni Feng did not notice the issue at all. Due to the consideration of her body condition, she had embarked alone without any other teams, which was also why she was unaware of the use of the red flag. Therefore, she missed the judges' explanation and instruction to place the flag at the assembly point when they arrived.

  Ni Hu was even more confused upon hearing that. Again, he asked, "Didn't you reach here much earlier?"

  "Yeah, I was earlier than you all by about an hour or so." Ni Feng was still unaware of the rules and had not realized that someone else reached even earlier than her.

  Ni Hu was utterly confused after listening to her words, "Are you saying that you reached here only an hour earlier than we did?"

  The other exorcists also looked over here with confusion. "That ain't right. Look at those burnt incense sticks, the red flag should have been placed there for at least three hours ago!"

  "Is it possible that someone arrived even earlier than Lady Ni?" someone started to question in disbelief.

  Ni Hu immediately rebuked, "How is that possible?!"

  "Young Master Ni, you saw that too. Those incense sticks are clearly indicating for longer than an hour." The exorcists exchanged glances with each other. "If the first person to reach here isn't Young Lady Ni, then who is it?"

  Exactly, who could it be?

  Is there anyone who could be faster than Lady Ni?

  No one could guess that right!

  The faces of the Ni family's father and son were quite unpleasant at that point. Ni Hu tried to explain, "Either way, all the teams are here right now. If there really was someone who arrived earlier than my sister, why are they not here?"

  "Who says that we're not here?" A sluggish voice came from the tomb entrance as two people walked out from the shadows. Baili Jia Jue's cool demeanor was exuding an ascetic feeling which kept the others from being too close to him. On the other hand, Helian Wei Wei looked like she just woke up and she yawned in her green and white robe, looking handsome and seductive at the same time. "We arrived too early so we looked for a spot to take a nap and we heard Young Master Ni making fun of us. What an interesting act!"

  The expression on the faces of the father and son of the Ni family changed the moment they saw their faces. Both their gaze began to flicker rapidly upon listening to Helian Wei Wei's words.

  How is this possible?

  How could these two still be standing here without a scratch?

  Ni Hu clenched both his fists tightly. What about my uncles?

  Also… what did he say?

  They reached here way earlier?!

  Ni Hu growled lowly and gave Helian Wei Wei a sneer, "That's impossible! You can't be the ones to arrive here first even if you arrived here earlier than us!"

  "There's not impossible, I was the one who placed that red flag," Zhuge Yun said with a firm tone as he stepped in front of Ni Hu while holding
his mahogany sword.

  Ni Hu scoffed with amus.e.m.e.nt upon hearing that, "Brother Yun, was it because you have heard my sister denying placing the red flag and you decided to claim that you were the one to place it there? What a brilliant thinking you have!"

  Chapter 748 - Humiliation In Process!

  "I didn't." Zhuge Yun could not resist but mumble, furrowing his brow.

  Ni Hu continued to ask, "You didn't? Everyone saw it, you only arrived after we did! How could that red flag have been placed there by you? Brother Yun, you might be able to deceive others but not us!"

  "I did arrive earlier. We waited for too long and I was worried that Brother Wei might be hungry so I went to catch some fish!" Zhuge Yun panicked and tried to explain. The thought that Ni Hu would attack him because he was gone to catch fish never even occurred to him.

  Unlike Ni Hu, Ni Biao was much more experienced and astute. He knew that the red flag might very well have been placed by Zhuge Yun and those two with just one look.

  Even though he knew, they could not give up in attacking!

  They had long since put out the words before this and everyone around them was expecting that the Ni family would win.

  If they allowed Zhuge Yun to turn the tides on this result, where would the honor of the Ni family go?

  Either way, they had to find a solution as they could not allow Zhuge Yun and the other two to take this victory!

  After some shady thinking, Ni Biao spoke, "Young man, we aren't unreasonable. You said that you were the one who placed the red flag and you only went to catch fish after that. Realistically speaking, can anyone prove that the red flag was placed there by your team? If someone witnessed that, we'll consider this your win."

  Ni Biao spoke with all politeness in a calm tone but he was actually implying that their victory would not count if they had no witnesses!

  Zhuge Yun had not expected that an elder like Ni Biao could be so shameless. He clenched both his hands with anger, "There wasn't a single person nearby when we arrived, other than the three of us, who could have witnessed that?"
