The Anarchic Consort

Chapter 750: The First Step Of Wei Wei’s Vengeance!

Slap!

A deafening slap landed on Ni Hu’s face before he could finish his sentence!

Ni Hu turned to face the perpetrator in disbelief. His eyes shuddered, “Father, you...”

“What? Apologize to them right now!” Ni Biao said as he breathed heavily and gave his son a venomous stare. Ni Hu retreated his voice quietly.

Ni Biao found it hard to put on a smile after smacking his beloved son in front of everyone. He turned around and said awkwardly, “The Ni family would never go back on our words. My son here has a quick temper ever since he was a child. He is also an honest boy, apparently too honest at times. Brother, how about this? Since we’re all heading to the graveyard later, the Ni family would like to dedicate three Demon Binding Frost Iron Chains to you and your fellow brothers to show our sincere apology. After all, we’ve misunderstood you. Please accept our apology.”

“Three Demon Binding Frost Iron Chains?!” The eyes of the other exorcists sparkled upon hearing those words.

The Frost Iron Chain was a great tool against all sorts of demons and monsters in the Exorcist City. Not only could it be used against demons, but it could also be used to bind living corpses in the royal tomb.

Nobody could ever predict what they would encounter in the royal tomb.

However, living corpses were one of the first things that came to their minds.

‘The Art of Yin and Yang in Exorcism’ stated that the corpses of kings and nobles always contained a pearl in their mouths. The bodies were covered in precious jade and gold, with a protective jade pendant over their chests and hands clasping a jade Ruyi, even their genitals were stuffed with precious stones.

The function of these jades and precious stones was to prevent the corpses from decaying.

Precisely because of this reason, these types of corpses were the easiest ones to transform into a living corpse.

Living corpses referred to as the transitional state between death and rebirth called the ‘Bardo’ in Buddhism after experiencing some kind of external force that triggered the process. There were a total of 18 kinds of forces that could produce 18 different types of living corpses.

For example, a moving corpse would be formed if a sickly cat jumped over a corpse’s chest on a moonless night.

In this instance, when non-decaying corpses came in contact with underground Yin energy when a human accidentally touched the corpse within the coffin, causing Yin and Yang energy to coincide, a living corpse would be produced.

Generally, more precious items were usually placed closer to the main coffin and the corpse. Therefore, to obtain the Sarira used by eminent monks during the burial ceremony, one would have to pass through a group of coffins first.

In that case, Demon Binding Frost Iron Chains would be essential in providing a lifeline.

At the very least, it could provide peace of mind as it could be used to bind a moving corpse instantaneously if they came across one.

After all, the corpses in these ancient tombs were no normal corpses.

An ordinary moving corpse only required a Chinese talisman to get stunned temporarily.

However, the same could not be said for the corpses in the royal tomb as Chinese talismans would be absolutely useless toward them.

This fact was known by every exorcist. Therefore, the pricing of Demon Binding Frost Iron Chains skyrocketed way before the competition.

Everyone wanted to possess something that could provide a lifeline during the crucial moment.

Now, Ni Biao was generously giving away three of them as a token of apology.

Anyone would agree to this heaven-sent offer!

The exorcists around them had their envy piqued, all of them turned and looked over at Helian Wei Wei.

Ni Biao was pretty confident that regardless of how offended she was, she would agree to his offer. After all, the Demon Binding Frost Iron Chains worth a lot more than a verbal apology.

He would never allow his beloved son to be humiliated by the three in front of so many people no matter what.

That would certainly bring shame to the Ni family’s name.

Even if the whole Exorcist City and the whole world would be his in the future, a disgrace like this would stick forever!

That was why he had to prevent anything like this from happening, regardless of the cost!

In fact, he was well aware that they were latching onto the Ni family simply because they wanted to get some benefit out of the situation.

After all, his family’s huge success was often accompanied by jealousy from others.

So, he was willing to give some benefits to them just to make them shut up!

Ni Biao’s plans were coming into place. He was ready to ask his disciples to fetch the Demon Binding Frost Iron Chains.

However, Helian Wei Wei voiced out nonchalantly, “Forget about the Demon Binding Frost Iron Chains. We only care about the condition that Young Master Ni agreed upon.”

Her tone was unconcerned as ever with a sort of idle grace.

Two people would behave alike after being together for a long time.

Helian Wei Wei and Baili Jia Jue already had some areas in common in the first place, but now, they behaved exactly the same way when they spoke to others.

There was no need for them to be condescending. They were able to emanate a sense of oppression from just a slight glance.

Ni Biao never expected that she would turn down the three Demon Binding Frost Iron Chains. His victorious smirk vanished instantly when he heard Helian Wei Wei’s response!

Ni Hu was infuriated by her response that he was trembling with rage and the green veins on his forehead were bulging! He looked at her with a menacing stare and wished that he could bite her to death!

Helian Wei Wei did not even bother to spare him a glance. Her porcelain-white side profile was perfectly calm, cool and collected. In fact, some of the exorcists were impressed by her.

“The condition that Young Master Ni agreed upon?” someone finally voiced out, “does that mean that he’ll have to kneel?”

All eyes laid on the Ni family at that precise moment!

This whole situation might be unnecessary, but Young Master Ni was the one who made his own condition, so no one could blame her for claiming it.

“Father.” Ni Hu had no choice but to plead to Ni Biao.

Ni Biao had never felt so regretful in his life. He never had an intention to kill someone, but now an urge to kill was sprouting in his heart.

However, he knew very well that there was no turning back.

Ni Biao took a deep breath, every word of his seemed to be springing out from his gritted teeth, “Apologize, but from now onwards, if anyone of you is in danger in the graveyard, don’t you dare wish that the Ni family will save you!”

That was undoubtedly a threat.

Helian Wei Wei broke into a smile as if she was not taking his words seriously. She took her time as she said, “I have something here but I didn’t have the chance to give it to you, Old Master Ni. I’ll show it to you once Young Master Ni apologizes.”

Ni Biao refused to converse with Helian Wei Wei anymore and turned away with a grim expression.

Ni Hu knew that there was nothing else he could say. All he could do was to take his steps toward Helian Wei Wei and the others...
