The Anarchic Consort-Novel2

Chapter 772: Facing A Difficult Problem

Old Li turned around and looked at Helian Wei Wei.

Then, a gush of sincere admiration swept over him.

If he respected Ni Feng because she was the reincarnation of the Phoenix Girl, his respect towards Little Brother Wei would be for the constant unexpected display of his talents.

Everybody had seen spider silk before. Thinking back, who would have thought to connect that and the current situation together?

Even if they did see a silver strand, it was still unclear what it might have been. Only Little Brother Wei would have such an agile mind.

Any exorcist would know that it required wisdom and vast knowledge to figure it out so quickly, not every person was capable of that.

This person is amazing!

If he possessed spiritual aura, Old Li could not imagine how powerful he would be.

In order to protect the Ni Family from being criticized further, Ni Biao had to speak up, “Now that we know what happened to the bodies in front of us, should we move forward and try to reach the main coffin as soon as possible?”

Now that things had come to this, he must think of a way to protect the Ni Family’s name, as he could not allow it to be disgraced by anyone again.

Now was their chance. They would lead the journey and move forward by going below the bodies.

Since those were just spider silks, there was nothing to worry about.

Ni Biao realized it would be the perfect chance to go through, since the spider that made the web was not there.

Even if anything happened, they would merely send two scouts ahead to discover the dangers ahead.

Then, Ni Biao looked behind and saw that the Ni Family did not lack people.

He had raised all these disciples from young, so now would be the perfect time to prove their worth.

“Qing Shan, Qing Shui. Both of you shall go first,” Ni Biao ordered the two people behind him.

They were disciples of the Ni Family, who were very talented and possessed exceptional spiritual aura. They had always looked down on the exorcists from other families. When they heard Ni Biao’s words, they lifted their chins and replied, “Yes, Master!”

The two looked at each other. Then, one of them took a yellow rune while the other unsheathed his Mahagony Sword, gallantly preparing to move forward.

The exorcists looked at Ni Family in a different light, as they regarded them as villains, but Ni Biao’s actions had moved their hearts.

No one would want to take the lead in this type of situation. Ni Biao’s orders made them felt as if they have misunderstood Ni Feng.

After Ni Biao gave the orders, Ni Feng coughed and gently said to them, “Be careful.” This scene made the exorcists feel bad even more.

Her soft delicate voice beautifully matched with her gentle and calming nature.

Honestly, her frail appearance made them want to protect her.

Helian Wei Wei merely watched silently with a smirk.

Compared to Ni Hu, Ni Biao and Ni Feng were much harder to deal with.

This duo of father and daughter understood human compassion too well, and knew exactly when to act the part to dispel any suspicions.

Sending their people now was undeniably dangerous.

The other exorcists saw Ni Biao being considerate to others, but they failed to notice that Ni Biao was reluctant to go himself and merely dispatched his disciples.

The disciples were not genuine bloodlines of the Ni family They were simply gifted children that he picked up from various places and trained to be exorcists. Even if they were given the Ni family’s name, they were merely used as pawns.

If Ni Biao truly treated them as his own, he would not be so callous, sending them away without any hesitation.

It was clear as day that Ni Biao would not send Ni Hu to do anything dangerous, since he was Ni Biao’s biological son. The others, however, were merely his disciples...

Helian Wei Wei despised Ni Biao’s behavior. As she was the Mercenary Queen, she had plenty of men under herself as well.

She would never send her people to the vicious frontlines in her stead.

His Highness had evidently seen through her thoughts too.

Standing behind Helian Wei Wei, his long legs were partially bent as he leaned against a stone wall, with his arms crossed in front of his chest. He smiled sinisterly, as his eyes were filled with scorn.

Humans, they always use underhanded tricks.

As a devil, he enjoyed seeing the strife among humans.

“Heh.”

It seemed to be an inappropriate time for Baili Jia Jue to laugh. action

Helian Wei Wei glanced at him, knowing that he had a twisted mind, and asked, “You seem happy?”

“Adequately so,” The smile that Baili Jia Jue tried to mask was obvious. His rich elegant voice rang melodiously as he warned her, “Keep your distance, I don’t want blood splashing on you.”

Helian Wei Wei rolled her eyes.

Is that the important thing?

Hold up.

Did His Highness say, blood?

Helian Wei Wei knew that Baili Jia Jue would not say something without acting on it. Thus, she lifted her head and looked at the front.

Something was not right.

Even if the guarding magical being was not around, outsiders should not be able to enter so easily!

As the thought flashed through Helian Wei Wei’s mind, Qing Shan and Qing Shui who just entered the cave looked as if they have tripped over something.

Then!

A bloodcurdling scream pierced the air!

Their smug expressions twisted into fear as strands of silver cut into their throats!

Fresh blood poured out of the two like fountains, painting the entire place red.

Qing Shan was lucky, as he was still barely alive.

Qing Shui was unfortunate, as he could not even attach the yellow rune before being brutally murdered. With a violent tug, his body was hung dangling on the hall’s ceiling.

Everything happened in a blink of an eye. By the time everyone could react, they only saw flashes of silver strands wrapping around Qing Shui’s body in a complicated pattern. However, the strands retreated very swiftly. Once they have bound their prey, they instantly became invisible. Unless they were illuminated with a torch, it was impossible to see them.

Standing in the middle, Qing Shan swung his Mahagony Sword like a madman but to no avail.

The silver strands were too sticky, so swords could not cut through them.

“M-Master... Save, save me!” Qing Shan’s fingers were outstretched, scrambling to try and crawl over. Even as death loomed over him, he still whole-heartedly believed that his master would come to his rescue.

Ni Biao stepped forward, but merely as an act. To bystanders, he looked like he really meant to save Qing Shan.

However, Helian Wei Wei knew that he took a very careful step, as his feet did not enter the spider webs...
