The Anarchic Consort

What?

Everyone was shocked and immediately rose to their feet upon hearing these words.

“What should we do?” Elder Xu Wu had never encountered such circumstances as well.

However, the ruthless Zongzheng Wen Ren deepened his gaze before he said, “Annihilate its soul directly.”

“If we do so, the person who was possessed by it might not be able to regain his intelligence of a normal human being.” Elder Xu Wu contemplated before he turned to look at the messenger who was standing far away from them. “We have a problem here. The hostile ghost can’t go to hell. Later, after the judge has left, the ghoulish aura from the hostile ghost will grow. By then, we will not be able to control it anymore. Therefore, we have to destroy the spirit of the hostile ghost directly. So, Lord Wang, please prepare yourself mentally. At best, our fellow man may be able to keep his life. But, please don’t wish for anything more.”

The exorcists realized how bad the situation was when they heard that the hostile ghost could not enter hell.

Theoretically, regardless of the types of the spirits, the judge would be able to bring them to hell as long as he was present.

However, the judge had actually rejected their request this time.

They wanted to know the reasons behind it in order to grasp the current situation.

Unfortunately, Zongzheng Wen Ren was the only person who could communicate with the judge.

Yet, the extreme ghoulish aura of the hostile ghost did not allow them to stop and ponder the question.

The spiritual glow around Zongzheng Wen Ren’s yellow runes began to fade away.

The hostile ghost was about to break free from its restraint.

Zongzheng Wen Ren flicked his fingers and all the yellow runes that were previously floating in the air swooped toward the hostile ghost. The attack was followed by a blow from the Peach Wood Sword which pierced right through the hostile ghost’s head!

The hostile ghost shifted its hollow eyes before it fell sideways and black fog began to gush out of its body.

Zongzheng Wen Ren never expected that it would be so difficult to deal with this hostile ghost for he was only able to suppress it with five yellow runes. It lay flat on the ground before its body slowly cracked into pieces. However, its eerie eyes still appeared disturbing. As the wind swept across the hall, all that was left lying on the ground was the exorcist who was previously possessed.

Within a blink of an eye, the exorcist’s sharp black nails had returned to its original color. However, he appeared unhinged and looked nothing like his usual self.

Anyone who was familiar with the Art of Yin and Yang would understand the situation. The hostile ghost, who was unable to enter hell, had been completely destroyed and had greatly affected the person who was possessed.

However, this was unavoidable.

For instance, it was fortunate that Zongzheng Wen Ren had personally took care of the perilous situation. If someone else had taken his place, the ritual would be a total disaster. They would not only be incapable of eliminating the hostile ghost, but also become the next possessed target.

This was, in fact, a favorable result.

As expected of Zongzheng Wen Ren, he was truly incredible!

The exorcists turned their head and their eyes were flickering with admiration.

Zongzheng Wen Ren swung his painful hands as he wore a perfect smile. He was the only one who knew how fatal the incident was just now. However, he found it unnecessary to disclose these details to the others.

“Elder, how much time have we spent? I hope we didn’t take a long time.”

Elder Xu Wu beamed as he replied, “It took us about half an hour. But, it doesn’t matter even if we spent too much time, as we are going to give way to the Third Prince nonetheless.”

“Elder is certainly accommodating. I almost forgot that Brother Baili has never learned the Art of Exorcism. I reckon that he doesn’t know the risk of it.” Zongzheng Wen Ren grinned as he turned to look at Baili Jia Jue. “Brother Baili, you’re up next. Do you want me to share some tips with you?”

Any sensible man could tell that Zongzheng Wen Ren was trying to redeem himself from being humiliated just now.

Nevertheless, this was a match between the two nations. If at this moment, the Crown Prince from one nation was to offer to coach the other Crown Prince, it was apparent that the former prince was mocking the latter for his lack of ability.

Upon hearing this, Baili Jia Jue rolled his eyes. However, he did not look at Zongzheng Wen Ren. He stood upright in the battle field, wearing a black cloak over his shoulder. He always had a tall physique, coupled with a pair of long legs. Now that he was fully dressed in black, his figure was further accentuated, making him more elegant than ever. The venue was rather confined, but his presence had seemingly turned the place into a big, exquisite yet sinister hall. Nevertheless, Zongzheng Wen Ren, the Crown Prince, seemed miniscule before Baili Jia Jue.

He voiced a provocative remark with a slow pace, “Seeing how much time and energy you’ve spent to get rid of the ghost and almost got rid of yourself, I reckon that it’s better choice to not take any advice from you.”

Zongzheng Wen Ren’s face glowered as he tightened his grip around the handle of his Peach Wood Sword.

The exorcist from Huangzi Nation was triggered by Baili Jia Jue’s words. Hence, he faked a smile as he defended Zongzheng Wen Ren, “Third Prince, it’s unlikely that someone else would stay absolutely unharmed if he or she was to be put under the previous circumstances His Highness Wen Ren has done a considerably good job. Even if Your Highness are involved in a similar situation, you might not even achieve His Highness Wen Ren’s result. Exorcism is different from war and I hope that Your Highness will not mix up the two.”

“That’s right. It’s easy to fight in a war for all you have to do is to soak your blade red. For exorcism, not only you have to beware of the cunning hostile ghosts, you have to hold fast to avoid being influenced by their ghoulish aura. You’re not going to win against the hostile ghosts with merely violence and martial Qi. Therefore, Third Prince should not take things lightly,” the other exorcists joined in to lecture Baili Jia Jue as if War Dragon Dynasty was certainly going to lose.

Baili Jia Jue disregarded the crowd and continued to stand still and stare into space, waiting for the match to begin.

Helian Wei Wei chuckled. Her tone was nonchalant yet distinctive, and was audible to the crowd, “His Highness, perhaps we should dismiss the hostile ghosts with violence today? Do you want to stand back?”

“Am I not standing far enough?” Baili Jia Jue always treated Helian Wei Wei differently as he stared at Helian Wei Wei with his onyx eyes that was full of affection.

Helian Wei Wei muffled her voice to make sure that her words were only audible to Baili Jia Jue, “You have to move further. Do you think I haven’t figured out why did the ghosts ran away so hastily just now? You were the one who scared them away. For now, it’s better for you to stay away. If the hostile ghost dares not approach us, how are we going to fight them?”

“They will not notice me if you are standing in front of me and blocking me,” Baili Jia Jue smiled wickedly.

Helian Wei Wei was very quick at grasping his statement. His Highness was meaning to say that, other than the reapers, all the other dark creatures were not able to distinguish his threatening aura due to her presence.

“Did the devils sign contracts with humans so that you can disguise yourself with the help of humans?” Helian Wei Wei lifted her eyebrows.

Baili Jia Jue grinned, but he did not deny her theory. She was always an intelligent woman, and this time was no exception.

“That’s really sly of you.” Helian Wei Wei proceeded to stand in front of him. Since the dark creatures would not be able to detect His Highness’ aura, then she had nothing to hold her back.

Bring it on!

Helian Wei Wei’s lips curled into a smirk as she put one of her palms outward. The invisible spiritual aura was roused from the ground and condensed between her fingers. “Release the ghost!”
