Upon hearing this, Ni Biao's pupils suddenly shrank!
"Ugh! Ugh! You are not a monster! You are...you are a demon!"
"Yes, I am a demon." Baili Jia Jue forced a smile on his face. His cold eyes became a profound gold light. "A demon who can easily pull out your magical pill."
Bang!
The sound of smashing stones resonated in the air again.
At that moment, what Ni Biao had in mind was unprecedented regret!
He did this on purpose! He deliberately let me compete with him to reveal my ugliest state later on!
Unless the magic of this man is powerful enough to suppress the Light of Buddha!
Does such a demon exist in the world?
When his body was collapsing, Ni Biao could not help but ask himself. However, he no longer had the strength to answer. All his limbs were dismembered and he was completely paralyzed.
In the cave, no one could listen to their conversation.
This meant that no one would find out about the man's true identity.
Ni Biao finally realized he was doomed. All he had left was this cruel reality as he was on the verge of death.
Looking at the stone wall that had been penetrated, Zhuge Yun's mouth was wide open. He asked Helian Wei Wei in a daze, "Is this still a duel? Isn't this a unilateral assault? How did Brother Jue lift Ni Biao up easily? He is a spider!"
A sluggish expression was plastered on Helian Wei Wei's face as she replied nonchalantly, "He once went to the sea area and single-handedly caught a dragon. He also took out the tendon of the dragon. He then carried it back and fed it to his brother." She heard this gossip from Little Seven. Those days, she always thought that His Highness who was capable of doing such things at ease was not human at all!
Zhuge Yun was speechless.
"Please tell me this secret. He is not human, right!" It was rather unusual for Zhuge Yun to be so eager to obtain a positive answer.
Helian Wei Wei looked at the exorcists' expectant gaze and calmly replied with a lie, "No, he really is human, but he eats too many dragons. Thus, he possesses great strength now."
Just as she said this, the noble and elegant His Highness came back leisurely, dragging a half-man and a half spider on his hand. He said with an apologetic smile, "I'm sorry, I was too into it to the point that I forgot that we need a professional exorcist to deal with the demon." Upon saying so, he looked at the pale Ni Hu and smiled, "Young Master Ni, I'm certain that your father has become a demon. As a member of the Ni family, it is your duty to maintain the peace and justice of the world. It's up to you to sacrifice consanguinity for the sake of righteousness."
"Ugh!"
Ni Biao originally thought that his ugly state was the most awful thing!
But now, this man is actually urging his son to kill him!
Does he intend to destroy the Ni family completely?
"Master Ni, you don't have to thank me. I know people like you would definitely not want to live and harm the world, right? It would also be a relief for you to die in the hands of your family." When Baili Jia Jue squatted down to look at Ni Biao, he was really considerate!
Ni Biao was so enraged that his internal organs started to hurt. However, his tongue had been cut off, so he could not say a word at all!
However, Baili Jia Jue laughed again this time, "Perhaps, this sort of task should be handled by the reincarnation of Phoenix Girl, Lady Ni."
Unlike Ni Hu, she quickly responded. She said with her soft voice and sounded as if she was going to cry, "Father, you really disappoint me. How can you swallow the magical pill? Look at you now. How can you still lead the people to defend the good and ward off evil?"
The intelligent Ni Biao immediately understood the underlying meaning of her statement.
His daughter.
The daughter whom he raised with great care and love was planning to…abandon him?
"At this point, I can only do justice for the good," Ni Feng closed her mouth and gathered her aura. She did not give Ni Biao any time to react and directly aimed for his throat!
The pain and suffering on the verge of death made Ni Biao's heart freeze as he held out his hand.
However, all he saw was the man's demonic smile. He seemed to be saying, this was the price you pay for hurting the most important thing to me.
The person beneath his feet stopped breathing. Baili Jia Jue gently clapped his hand and said with a voice as clear as jade, "So, this is the legendary reincarnation of the Phoenix Girl, who can even kill her biological father. This is really an eye-opener."
The first one who reacted to this was not Ni Feng but Ni Hu. He rushed before Ni Feng, grabbed her arm and wailed, "Why! Sister, why did you do it! That's our father!"
No, she should not panic!
"Do you think I want to do it?" Ni Feng started to cry. With a loud cough, she raised her hand and patted herself again and again, "Look at what father has become. He was an open-minded man all his life but he brought this upon himself by eating the magical pill accidentally. I killed him to set him free!"
Ni Hu's eyes were red and puffy, "Sister, sister, it's me who has misunderstood your intentions. Please don't be like this. You are the Phoenix Girl. You have no choice but to do it. I understand."
Listening to the cries of the duo, the exorcists took pity upon them and obviously believed Ni Feng's excuses.
Ni Feng lowered her eyes and looked at the people around. She cried even more delicately.
At this very moment, Helian Wei Wei, who had been quiet for a long time spoke softly, "If you had the intention to set him free, you could have removed the magical pill from him and use your spiritual aura to recover his consciousness; or you could use the Demon Killing Buddhist Incantation to eliminate the demonic magic in him. However, you did not even have the slightest hesitation when you went straight for his throat and directly killed him, leaving no chance for him to even take a single breath. Lady Ni, the man you killed was your father, not a mere passer-by. Although your brother was playful and imm.a.t.u.r.e, his conscience was still intact. Meanwhile, you just wanted to quickly solve this problem to maintain your reputation as the Phoenix Girl..."
Chapter 790 - Ni Feng Exposed
Ni Feng's crying stopped abruptly when she heard what Helian Wei Wei said, even her outstretched fingers had become somewhat inflexible. She spoke as though she was surprised and feeling extremely wronged, "Young Master Wei, you're the one who asked me to do it, yet now you are accusing me for doing it. Everyone clearly saw that my father had completely changed into a demon just now. Other than destroying him, we have no other way to ensure that he will not be devoured by residual magic. Even if we remove the magical pill from him, no one can guarantee that his blood had not been infected. My younger brother really couldn't do it, because no one would know better than us, how difficult it is for us to kill our father. I didn't want my younger brother to suffer this pain as I knew the pain would've been unbearable for him, so let me carry this burden! It's fine whether Young Master Wei wants to say that I have no conscience or that I'm simply doing it to maintain my reputation, I'll admit to all of them! As long as you don't bring my brother anymore pain, you can say whatever you like. "
"Lady Ni..." Old Li did not have the heart to see her coughing and wheezing like this, he turned to Helian Wei Wei and said, "Young Brother Wei, what you said has crossed the line. Phoenix Girl has always been merciful, unlike what you only see on the surface. In fact, there must be a misunderstanding. Although Lady Ni did that, she feels worse than anyone else, just like what she said!"
Upon listening to Old Li's words, the exorcists took a look at the siblings from Ni family, who were huddled together, and glanced at Ni Biao who was lying dead on the ground. Never would they have imagined that their family would actually end up like this. They could not help but feel sorry for them.
"Cut it out, we're all safe after all." Someone tried to mediate the situation, feeling that they should just let it go.
T
o their surprise, Helian Wei Wei slowly opened her mouth to speak again, "If removing the magical pill did not work, you could have cast the Demon Killing Buddhist Incantation. Unlike removing the magical pill, this Buddhist incantation can eliminate all the demonic magic in the human body upon casting, isn't that right? Or maybe it's because... " Helian Wei Wei made a slight pause at that point, a faint smile flashed across her beautiful eyes. "You're unable to cast the Demon Killing Buddhist Incantation? Wouldn't that indicate you're a fake Phoenix Girl if you can't even cast the Demon Killing Buddhist Incantation?"
Helian Wei Wei had laid her cards on her table by saying that sentence!
She had made it clear from the beginning that she had no time to ramble with them.
Everyone, including Ni Hu, was shocked by Helian Wei Wei's last question. Their first reaction was wanting to rush over and bellow at her.
However, he could not even get close to that person.
Owing to the fact that Baili Jia Jue was already tidying his clothes and standing beside Helian Wei Wei right now.
It was totally different from their previous reactions.
Ni Feng completely froze, her eyes and arms were hanging by her sides. Vaguely, something could almost be seen coming out of her eyes.
Old Li was the last person to believe her. "Young Brother Wei, do you know what are you talking about? The reincarnation of the Phoenix Girl is not a trifling matter that you can question about! "
"Old Li," Helian Wei Wei's tone was clear and icy. "I know you feel a different gratitude toward Phoenix Girl as compared to others, since she came to you in your dreams before, but have you ever thought about how blind worship will only bring harm to you and those who are influenced by you? It'll be a great joy if Lady Ni is truly the Phoenix Girl, but what if she's not? Have you ever thought about the consequences? Someone is pretending to be your savior, doing whatever she wants under the name of the Phoenix Girl. How do you think the real Phoenix Girl would feel if she were to know about this?"
Perhaps it was because of the righteous aura exuded from the person standing in front of him, or maybe it was because of the tremendous amount of pressure from her gaze.
Old Li began to feel uncertain at this moment.
Right, what if she's fake?
Wouldn't she be using the name of the Phoenix Girl to control them?
Most importantly, it was just like what the person said.
If Lady Ni isn't my savior…
Would my true savior feel disappointed and helpless about our actions right now?
Simply because he had been defending Ni Feng all this time.
However, it was simply impossible for him to give up the persistence and faith which he had over the years.
"Do you have any evidence to prove that Lady Ni is not the Phoenix Girl?" Old Li hesitated for a long time before asking this sentence. "The Buddhist Exorcism Incantation doesn't count as Lady Ni is very weak now. She'll definitely need half a year to recover if she casts the incantation. I will not allow anyone to take the risk."
Helian Wei Wei narrowed her eyes. That was the most direct way, but since Old Li rejected it, she could only approach this problem differently.
"I do have evidence, but painstaking investigations have to be conducted," Helian Wei Wei said in a flat tone, as if she was telling a story. "First of all, I want to tell you all a secret, a secret about the Ni family. Seven years ago, a pile of corpses were secretly stacked in the backyard of the Ni family. It was done by Master Ni and I think Young Master Ni saw it too."
"No, I haven't seen it! I've never seen it before!" Ni Hu shouted while covering his head.
Helian Wei Wei raised an eyebrow at the sight of this. "Judging from your reaction, it doesn't look like you haven't seen it. Nonetheless, it doesn't matter if Young Master Ni denies it, because there's another person here who has seen it, that's Young Master Yun."
Zhuge Yun nodded and repeated what he told Helian Wei Wei before in a serious tone.
"At that time, Master Ni made an excuse saying that there were monsters inside and prohibited anyone from coming near, he did not allow Young Master Yun to tell anyone too." Helian Wei Wei's voice was faint. "In fact, at this point, I suppose everyone would have understood the reason why he didn't allow people to approach the place."
As soon as Helian Wei Wei's words settled, one of the exorcists exclaimed and mumbled in disbelief, "He's using corpses to raise zombies! Ni Biao wanted to raise zombies with corpses!"
The words of 'using corpses to raise zombies' immediately caused an uproar among the crowd.
Nevertheless, Helian Wei Wei turned a blind eye to this and continued, "That's right, he was using corpses to raise zombies. It's recorded in the Forbidden Exorcism Incantation that the place must be full of corpse's aura if you want to start this incantation. Of course, it's not only that, what I want to say is that Lady Ni's room was right next to these corpses at that time. "
"So what!" Ni Hu yelled with rage, "It was my father's doing, so what does it have to do with my sister? She's pitiful enough having been in poor health ever since she was a child, all because she's the reincarnation of the Phoenix Girl. Why must you blame her for my father's mistakes?!"
Helian Wei Wei glanced at him and said calmly, "Since your sister was not in good health, he should have put her in another place instead of letting her stay in close proximity with the corpses. Unless…the zombie that your father was trying to raise, is your sister. "
Chapter 791 - Torturing Ni Feng Pestilently
Helian Wei Wei's words were like a bomb that suddenly dropped upon them.
Everyone felt as though their blood was frozen.
Their heads felt woozy and they did not have the courage to look at the Ni family again.
On the contrary, Ni Hu was more clear-headed than ever.
"What nonsense are you talking about?! That's impossible!" Ni Hu could not move his legs but he snarled at Helian Wei Wei, his teeth gnashing at her. Deep in his heart, there was a strong fear, a fear that made him unwilling to accept the truth, even though the truth was plain obvious to him.
Helian Wei Wei looked at him with clear eyes. "Young Master Ni, you must know better than anyone else about what the Ni family went through that year. You went to the Zhuge family weeping as you vented about your grief to your friend, saying your sister was going to die. Even a shroud and coffin was prepared for her, wasn't it? However, Ni Feng recovered without rhyme or reason the next day and no one knew how she recovered. The truth is, she didn't recover, but came back to life again and extended her lifespan with enough corpse's aura."
"Wei Wei!" Ni Hu reached out and pointed at her, grinding his teeth in anger. "You're spouting nonsense! I'm going to teach you a lesson right now and you'll see how powerful our Ni family is!"
Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows and said, "You have such a big reaction every time, Young Master Ni. Let me guess, the actual reason why you cried back then was not because your sister was going to die, but because you saw that she was already dead, right?"
Ni Hu instantly froze in place, as though his vital point was struck. He recalled his childhood memories, which caused his face to turn so pale that all the redness faded from his cheeks.
All of a sudden, Ni Feng let out a long sigh, "Young Master Wei, everything that you've said were merely your guesses. You misled my brother, step by step, just to make others think that I'm not the reincarnation of Phoenix Girl? I was really weak back then, but Young Master Wei is simply relying on the memory of Brother Yun playing hide and seek as a kid, using it to prove that my father collected all the corpses to raise a zombie. As a matter of fact, zombies were rampant at that time, so my father caught many and brought them home, waiting to burn them all with fire. That was why no one was allowed to go near the place. I stayed near them because my father wanted me to look after the backyard and prevent others from entering. I did not expect that Brother Yun would misunderstand it. As for the reason why I suddenly recovered, it was a
ll because of my spiritual aura. Perhaps Young Master Wei doesn't know about this, the reincarnation of the Phoenix Girl is similar to that of a phoenix, we must go through Nirvana rebirth, and that was exactly what happened back then. "
After listening to Ni Feng's explanation, Ni Hu's heart finally calmed down.
"Lady Ni is right, it was a year where zombies were rampant back then."
"So, he wasn't using corpses to raise zombies?"
"Maybe Young Master Yun was wrong. After all, he was still young at that time. According to his description, he accidentally entered the backyard and was unable to come back to his senses after seeing so many zombies. Perhaps he mistook them for corpses because he was frightened."
Zhuge Yun really did not want to believe what he heard. He was absolutely certain about the fact, but it completely changed after Ni Feng's explanation!
His handsome face was turning red. "I can't be mistaken! They wouldn't look so fresh if they were zombies! "
"Brother Yun, it has been so many years, can you say for sure that you weren't mistaken? Besides, you said it yourself, it was late in the night and you were in shock. When people are afraid, ahem, especially children, it's very easy for them to hallucinate. Coupling with their imagination, it's highly possible that what they perceived would be totally different from the actual facts." Ni Feng said while coughing lightly. Although her voice was soft, her points had completely debunked all the evidence that Zhuge Yun provided.
The exorcists exchanged glances with each other. Everyone was lost in thought.
Zhuge Yun's lungs felt like they were about to explode. "How could you distort the truth in such a way!"
"Brother Yun, I've always known that you have prejudice toward the Ni family," Ni Feng said as she lowered her gaze, she looked weaker from the back due to her slight coughing, "but a hallucination is a hallucination, you can't treat it as an evidence."
