The Anarchic Consort c1-1376
Page 344
The Son of the King Of Hell smiled evilly and went to the door with his axe on his shoulder.
He intended to act all gentle and polite, as this was the most perfect image he had to preserve in front of human beings.
What a well-mannered beautiful young boy.
Who knew that fighting demons was such a smooth-sailing ride that he forgot to control his strength, hence when he knocked on the metal door, there was a huge dent in it.
Bang!
All the disciples of the Zhuge family rushed toward the front door, of course including Madam Zhuge as well.
It was a day filled with worries and uneasiness for the people in Exorcist City.
Madam Zhuge had more things hidden inside her heart than anyone else, she even thought of going out of the city to find Zhuge Yun. But when she heard the guidance from Ni Feng during the council, she gave up her thought.
As she knew, the other party wanted to kill those who survived from the ancient tomb.
But why?
Madam Zhuge had been thinking about the purpose of Ni Feng's doing. The more she thought, the more uneasy she felt.
She did not let the disciples of Zhuge family join in the fight, because she did not want her son to be welcomed with despair instead of warm greetings when he came home.
If the Zhuge family kept acting abnormally, Ni Feng would definitely notice it.
How should she protect the Zhuge family by that time?
While thinking about it, she heard the noise coming from outside the manor. The first thing she did was to calm herself down so she would not reveal any flaw.
"What's the matter?" Madam Zhuge looked at the little one before her, who had a pacifier in his mouth, then breathed a sigh of relief. When she set her gaze further away, her body suddenly trembled and she clenched onto the white hanky in her hand, "So, we have company. Why are you still standing there, Old Liu, let the guests in."
"Yes, madam." Old Liu did not get to see the faces of the guests clearly, as he invited them in through the front door with his head lowered.
Madam Zhuge remained calm all the way through the yard.
As they entered the study room and closed the wooden door, Madam Zhuge clenched Zhuge Yun's hand and her eyes turned red. Apparently she had already recognized her dear son since a while ago.
Zhuge Yun's throat was a bit bitter, "Mother, I'm fine. I didn't get hurt along the way with the help from Brother Wei and Brother Jue."
"Now the entire Exorcist city is hunting for those who survived from the ancient tomb." Madam Zhuge took a deep breath, "I worry that you would get caught, now looking at your camouflage, you should have eluded them."
Zhuge Yun smiled and touched his head, "It's all Brother Wei's ideas. He also said that mother is the only person in the city who would understand."
Madam Zhuge turned her head toward Helian Wei Wei and then she knelt on the ground, "Zhuge family will never forget your great kindness, Miss Wei."
Helian Wei Wei did not expect Madam Zhuge to perform such a huge courtesy, she reached out her hands in a hurry to stop her and smiled, "Madam, there's no need for this. I have my own purpose to go into the graveyard. Besides, I need your help too."
"Miss?" Zhuge Yun was stunned, "Mother, are you saying that Brother Wei he, oh wait, is she, she..."
"My silly child, can't you see it until now?" Madam Zhuge shook her head with a chuckle, "Such a blockhead. Didn't you notice how much your Brother Jue cares for Miss Wei along the way?"
Zhuge Yun's mouth was wide open, "I thought they were g-gay."
Madam Zhuge had no idea whether to laugh or cry at her son's response.
On the other hand, Old Li who just knew the identity of Helian Wei Wei had another shock in his heart, "Brother Wei is a girl?"
"Yes." Helian Wei Wei tidied up her clothes. She knew what Old Li was surprised about, but it did not matter anymore. Instead, she looked into Madam Zhuge's eyes, "I need to go to the Ni family now to find something. Hope Madam Zhuge could help me."
"You want to go to the Ni family now?" Madam Zhuge looked worried, "It's too dangerous at the Ni family now."
Helian Wei Wei smiled, "Don't worry, madam, someone will distract Ni Feng. There will be a siege at the Southern Gate later, so she will definitely put all her attention there."
"But I have never seen Ni Feng leaving the Ni family. Even if someone attacks the city, she might just let the exorcists handle it," Madam Zhuge analyzed.
Helian Wei Wei put away the Dharma Bone and her gaze fell on Baili Jia Jue, "This time she will definitely go because she really wants to see someone." That was why this man would let both Green Dragon and Qilin be at the Southern Gate, as it was simply a trap.
Baili Jia Jue was also looking at her with a spurious smile, he was actually a little happy. He pulled her into his arms and spoke coldly, "Are you jealous? Don't be, when she really sees me, her life will end as well."
The Son of the King of Hell then suggested, "Actually, you could use your beauty as a bait. Just lay flat and let Lady Ni take a little advantage from you, then she would not have the heart to care about the magical mirror anymore."
"You little monster, you better shut up before I kill you." Baili Jia Jue lifted the Son of the King of Hell and threw him out the door like throwing away a fly.
The Son of the King of Hell did not care much and once again pulled himself out of the wall. He then said to Baili Jia Jue with the axe on his shoulder, "To deal with you, Ni Feng will surely let Jing Wushuang himself go to the Southern Gate. Even Green Dragon and Qilin won't last long. So, someone needs to be at the Southern Gate."
"Don't we still have you?" Baili Jia Jue looked at him casually.
The Son of the King of Hell frowned, "The netherworld cannot meddle in the affairs of the human world. This is the rule."
"Don't you want to save your true love?" Baili Jia Jue sneered.
The Son of the King of Hell bit his pacifier hard when he heard his sentence, "When did you start having plans for me?"
"Only the King of Hell can ignite the Flame of Hell." A light flashed within the deep eyes of Baili Jia Jue, "A spirit of the netherworld but was born in Tian Dao, isn't it you who created an uproar among the hostile ghosts in the netherworld?"
The Son of the King of Hell pulled out his pacifier and his eyes narrowed even more, "You used the Divine Consciousness? You still have it? The whole world thought your Divine Consciousness was long gone! Why do you still have it after you fell from heaven?"
Chapter 807 - Knowing That Wei Wei Was The Phoenix Girl
"Of course I've kept it hidden," Baili Jia Jue lifted his thin lips. He did nothing but those black feathers which symbolized evil fell.
The Son of the King of Hell only saw the danger that could swallow the world from within. He then held Helian Wei Wei's leg with his arms but he was only able to reach her t.h.i.g.h due to his height. He whispered to her again, "Listen to me, don't change your mind. If you do so, it's not just humans who have to endure hardsh.i.p.s, the people from Tian Dao can't escape also. This man still possesses the divine psyche, then what's with the demonic nature all over him! Damn it, he's so good at pretending!"
"Why do you always think that I will change my mind?" Helian Wei Wei picked him up and bit his ear, "Do I look so unreliable?"
With a serious face, the Son of the King of Hell spoke softly that only both of them could hear, "No, you are reliable. It's mainly because I don't believe the Great Demon King's character. Who knows what he had done before this and now he still has the divine psyche. Do you know what all of this means? This means that he can go to Tian Dao any time. No wonder just now he said that even without your memory, he could destroy the golden lotus before the Buddha. I thought he was just bluffing, but now I think what he said is real. With the divine psyche, he has absolutely no problem killing the entire Buddhism."
"But to stop the tampering of reincarnation, I still need to retrieve my memory right?" Otherwise, His Highness might have sta
rted the war without another word.
The Son of the King of Hell agreed and with a soft voice, "The only way to stop the tampering of reincarnation is to let the Dharma of Phoenix return to the human world."
"I see. You go to the Southern Gate first, I will take care of the things in the city." Helian Wei Wei sent the little one away.
Madam Zhuge did not know what they had said, but looking at the little man with a pacifier in his mouth and saying that he was going to attack the city, she was reluctant to believe.
He's so little, is he really capable of doing that?
"Miss Wei, should I send a few of my men to go with this little master?"
Helian Wei Wei smiled, "No need, disciples of the Zhuge family shouldn't be going to the siege now. The situation outside is too intense, and they will be easily noticed if they were out there. But they can't stay inside the manor as well. All the exorcists are protecting the city and if the disciples of the Zhuge family stayed indoors, people will find out eventually too. So Madam Zhuge, we need your help to give an order for all the disciples to leave the manor and protect the city. If needed, they were to pretend to catch the survivors from the ancient tomb. The Zhuge family shall just follow whatever the other exorcists do."
"No problem. I'll arrange it now." Madam Zhuge looked at Helian Wei Wei with admiration in her eyes. She had even considered this, no wonder they could come back safely. This lady was really more intelligent than she thought.
Helian Wei Wei turned to face Zhuge Yun and others, "With people visiting the Zhuge family suddenly, Ni Feng would definitely send someone over to have a check. You guys should try your best to delay them. Don't panic even if they found out, just act as normal. But don't tell them that I have the Sarira. Just let Ni Feng assume I was dead. She should be thinking the same way until now, so you'll be fine without mentioning it."
No one disagreed, so all the exorcists nodded. After spending some time together, the exorcists already knew that Helian Wei Wei always had her reasons behind everything she did.
After she was done arranging everything, Helian Wei Wei locked her gaze with Madam Zhuge again, "Madam, my friend and I will need a change of clothes. Whatever your servants wear will do."
After Madam Zhuge heard what Helian Wei Wei said, she requested for two of her servants and asked them to take off their outer shirts.
Old Li wanted to ask something initially, but he decided not to after seeing the back of the person who seemed not to care.
But Zhuge Yun could no longer hold back his words, "Brother Wei, uh no, I mean, Miss Wei could you please tell us what's your identity? Why do you have such a strong spiritual aura, is it because of the Sarira? Why are you so familiar with the Phoenix Girl's affairs? Why did you insist that Ni Feng is fake when you first came to Exorcist City, and how on earth did you guess these things?"
"It's not a guess." Helian Wei Wei put on the outer shirt and gave it a thought. As she was tying her shirt up, she said, "Because I'm the Phoenix Girl, so I know she's fake."
Snap!
Just with a few words, the teacup in Old Li's hand fell onto the ground with a loud noise.
He did not feel pain when the hot water splashed onto his face. He only felt like his three views and six senses had just disappeared.
All the other exorcists became puppets at that moment, even their breaths became slower.
Zhuge Yun's pupils began to shake violently, "Brother Wei, I, I didn't hear it clearly. What did you say just now?"
Helian Wei Wei finally had her clothes neatly on and looked at Zhuge Yun with a smile in her voice, "Why? Is that how you present yourself when you meet your most admired exorcist?"
"You, you really are the Phoenix Girl?! Why didn't you say it before! What I mean is…" Zhuge Yun was so surprised that he started muttering nonsense. He could not stop pulling at his hair, but his eyes were brighter than ever.
Old Li was also waiting for the final confirmation from her.
Helian Wei Wei pressed her collars down and inattentively replied, "Oh, you never asked me before, so I didn't tell."
Zhuge Yun burst into tears. What did she mean by she never told because he never asked? She should have told him this kind of thing directly!
The exorcist whom he admired the most was with him all the way!
Before they set off, he even vowed solemnly that he wanted to protect her?
The exorcists thought the same way as Zhuge Yun, if they had known that she was the Phoenix Girl, they…they!
Helian Wei Wei looked at everybody's expressions and smiled again, "Even if I were to say that, nobody will believe it. Don't forget that my spiritual aura has just recovered. The time when I just entered the Exorcist City, I don't have any spiritual aura at all and it wasn't really that convincing. Besides, everybody seemed so sure of Ni Feng being the reincarnated Phoenix Girl. No matter how much I say it will be useless, all will be seen as fake, so I decided not to mention it."
The exorcist paused and they could not deny that if they had not been to this situation.
Would they have believed her words?
The answer was no.
They even ignored the actual location of the Phoenix Girl which was once foretold by an eminent monk.
Since the reincarnation of the Phoenix Girl was in the Ni family 500 years ago, then it should be no different this time.
They had thought so for many years.
The exorcists had no idea how to describe their moods at that moment.
Old Li was even rooted to the ground, dumbfounded.
An unprecedented regret rushed into his heart.
He suddenly remembered what he said in the graveyard to exonerate Ni Feng.
She was his lifesaver but he had been wrong. What an outrageous mistake!
Chapter 808 - Wei Wei’s Wisdom
Old Li felt like the tea that had gone cold on his face, was seeping into his heart.
"I…" He struggled to speak.
The exorcists were also looking at Helian Wei Wei as if they had something to say but stopped.
Helian Wei Wei was not bothered as she knew what they wanted to say, "Ni Feng is smart and good at disguise. It's natural that you all have mistaken her for someone that she's not. There's no point in thinking about the things that have already passed right now. Madam, let's go to the Ni family now, the Son of the King of Hell should be prepared by now."
"Alright."
Madam Zhuge nodded solemnly afterward.
The number of visits Madam Zhuge had been to the Ni family was countless.
Especially after the Zhuge family had fallen.
This was the only time that she felt confident.
She thought that this might just be the power of the Phoenix Girl.
Not only was it just a name, but in fact, the person behind her seemed to be powerful enough that everyone would believe her.
"Madam." The disciple of the Ni family reached out his hand to stop Madam Zhuge for a routine check.
Madam Zhuge was cooperative and stood there naturally.
The security was very strict now, so everyone going in and out would be inspected, not allowing any knives or sword into the household.
Madam Zhuge looked at the disciple and said, "Where is Lady Ni?"
"In the meeting room." After the inspection and found nothing peculiar, the disciple of the Ni family bowed, "Just a while ago, Lady Ni asked for you to discuss something."
Madam Zhuge raised her eyebrow and said to the people behind her, "Since Feng'er is looking for me, you two can wait in the yard."
"Yes." Helian Wei Wei lowered her eyes. She knew that Madam Zhuge did not want them to go against Ni Feng directly to avoid revealing any of their plans.
But that was not all that Helian Wei Wei was thinking about.
She only agreed to stay in the yard so that she could go looking for the magical mirror without anyone noticing...
Madam Zhuge followed the disciple of the Ni family into the meeting room after gi
ving them instructions.
Ni Feng was sitting in the main seat. Upon noticing her arrival, she stood up with a small cough and said to Madam Zhuge with respect, "Aunt, you're here."
"Feng'er, you shouldn't be standing if you are not well." An elder from another family said so.
Only then did Madam Zhuge notice that the elders of the other exorcist families were all gathered there. They were looking at her as if expecting her to confess something.
Madam Zhuge recalled what Helian Wei Wei said to her on their way there.
"Since madam had not let the disciples of Zhuge family guard the city for some time now, Ni Feng will find ways to make you state the reason. By then, you could just come up with the excuse of your disciples being too young and do not mention anything about capturing survivors."
The girl was right about it.
"Aunt." Ni Feng waited until she had a sip of her tea, before continuing with a few coughs, "I heard that all the families sent their disciples to defend the city, all except the disciples of the Zhuge family. Why is that? Aunt, are you not happy with my arrangements? I might seem too arrogant to question you like this, but this is a very important moment between life and death for Exorcist City, so please forgive my ill-mannered behavior."
Madam Zhuge frowned and acted generously as usual, "Why would you think so, Feng'er? The disciples of the Zhuge family were not dispatched immediately because they're too young. They had no power to defeat demons. After your arrangements, I went back and gave them some extra lessons, which explains the delay in time. As of this moment, they should be on their way to defend the city with their exorcism clothes on. Just as you said, Feng'er, this is a moment of life and death for Exorcist City, and it has always been the Zhuge family's duty to defend the right and purge the evil. We will never be left behind."
The servant standing beside Ni Feng lowered his voice and reported, "Miss, what Madam Zhuge claimed is true. The disciples of the Zhuge family have gone to defend the city."
