Chapter 671: Wei Wei Taking Revenge For The Alsatian
“I reckon that you can remember the look on Blackie’s face before he died,” Helian Wei Wei said as she stepped forward and caressed the Alsatian’s head. She threw a glimpse at Xuan Bing before she spoke with an indifferent and unvarying tone at a moderate pace, “You broke its leg before you kicked and fractured its ribs. The repartee between you and Princess Zongzheng was amusing as you talked about how you raised and fed it. You are able to remember all the trivial favors vividly. Yet, you did not mention about how Blackie saved you after you fell into the valley during your cultivation. If Blackie didn’t ask for help on your behalf, you would’ve been devoured by the wolves. However, not only did you kill Blackie, you snitched its spiritual aura as well. A brute like you actually has the audacity to call Blackie ungrateful. Your shamelessness is truly admirable.”
Perhaps the secret Helian Wei Wei had just disclosed was too appalling, together with the others, the exorcists from Xuanyuan Dynasty turned to eye Xuan Bing warily, trying to find clues from his expression.
Xuan Bing growled in defense, “Don’t you try to slander me! I knew it was you when the Alsatian appeared out of nowhere to hinder my performance! It was obviously you who released it!”
“You know better than anyone else why Blackie is here.” Helian Wei Wei glared at him from above as she continued, “You are full of excuses. As a matter of fact, you would have been long taken away by the reapers if it wasn’t for Blackie.”
Xuan Bing’s fingers trembled as he tried to deny the accusations, “Just because you are the Third Princess Consort, it doesn’t give you the right to defame me! You’ve no evidence to prove your claims!”
Zongzheng Yu Er concurred, “Third Princess Consort, all of us witnessed how Xuan Bing used to take good care of the Alsatian. He never once abused his Alsatian and your statement is certainly groundless!”
“I agree. Third Princess Consort, you can’t make up a story just win the competition.” Elder Xu Wu joined in as an auxiliary. In fact, he had already grasped the situation. In the normal course of events, an animal would head directly to the netherworld for rebirth. Yet, after all these years, the Alsatian remained a lone soul. Not only that, it carried a great aura of resentment. The only person who could give rise to this was its rightful owner.
However, even if it was true, an Alsatian could never speak and there would be no proof to his felony!
Xuan Bing shared the same idea as Elder Xu Wu. He reckoned that the inquisite Helian Wei Wei would be powerless when she held no evidence against him.
Knowing what was on Xuan Bing’s mind, it howled before it flaunted its fangs while its black fur stood on end. Its crimson eyes were extremely terrifying!
If Helian Wei Wei did not press her hand on its head, it would definitely have attacked Xuan Bing and bit him to death!
“Calm down, Blackie. You will never be able to restore the justice if you kill him now. Since he’s asking for evidence, we’ll present it to him.” Helian Wei Wei turned and said to the reapers who were standing behind her, “Tell them what you know.”
Hearing Helian Wei Wei’s command to the reapers, the exorcists rose to their feet. “Is she trying to make the reapers talk?”
“How is that possible? Reapers only visit the human world to harvest souls and they can never speak unless they’re ordered personally by the King of Hell, right?” The exorcists felt that it was the most thrilling day of their life!
Another exorcist whom mumbled to himself, “Well, it’s not exactly impossible. It can happen… if the person has hundreds of years of cultivation. But, Third Princess Consort…”
“Let’s wait and see. We don’t know for sure if they can talk!” The exorcists held their breaths as they anticipated what would come next.
However, unbeknownst to them, as long as His Highness was present, it was an easy task to make the reapers to speak.
They would even put their hands in the air if the reapers were told to do the zombie dance moves, only to please the man who was sitting on the main seat!
The reapers behind Helian Wei Wei moved at a slow pace. They appeared emotionless all the time because they were, after all, dead men. The moment Helian Wei Wei gave the instruction, they subconsciously turned to look at Baili Jia Jue.
In fact, they were actually summoned by Helian Wei Wei. However, they were taken aback when they saw her guardian demon!
That… that… that man must be the Great Demon King!
That’s right, he is the Great Demon King!
His beautiful features were engraved on his side profile that seemed as perfect as an ice sculpture. He sat upright as though he had seen through the mortal world and despised the human race.
Baili Jia Jue threw an indifferent glance at them.
With one mere look, they received the message and knew what they ought to do!
They were absolutely docile!
D*mn, why has no one ever told us that the Great Demon King is still alive?
Does the King of Hell know about this?
Back then, the Great Demon King and the King of Hell were always involved in intense fights!
Every time the King of Hell lost, he would be extremely displeased and stay ill-tempered for days. He would never be satisfied with the souls the reapers brought back and insisted that they extract the soul of the Great Demon King!
They were the oldest batch of reapers in the netherworld. Even if they might not have contributed enough, they were not stupid! They were not foolish enough to disturb the Great Demon King. Eventually, they sent some young reapers to the Great Demon King, making the young reapers their pawns. As expected, none of them had ever returned.
They were simply too quick-witted!
Initially, the reapers did not take the summoning seriously. They were only shocked that there was an exorcist who was capable of summoning them, the oldest reapers of all. When they arrived and met the other nine reapers, they were astonished and dying to find out who was the enchanter.
Now, all their doubts were answered!
All they wanted was to finish the mission that was assigned by the Great Demon King and return to the netherworld as soon as possible!
The human world is too dangerous!
It is always safer at home.
We’re terrified!
They appeared calm and collected, but, in actual fact, they were only thinking about one thing. Please spare our lives!
“Seemingly, the reapers don’t want to speak. Just look at their expressionless and gloomy faces,” the exorcists deduced.
The four reapers were flustered.
Stop making groundless statement!
We naturally look emotionless and we’re born slow-witted!
“Why are you still not speaking? Are you guys waiting for my kick? Huh?” the man’s clear voice rang within their consciousness stream.
The four reapers began to act with a speed that was twice as fast as their usual pace. Soon, dark aura was dispersed in the atmosphere. As one of the reapers parted its lips, the temperature in the Great Hall dropped again.
The chilling air was a result of its icy tone that carried absolutely no emotion.
The crowd was shocked as the atmosphere turned eerie. Then, they felt as though the ghostliness had turned audible.
“Xuan Bing, born in the year 72, joined the Dao at the age of five. At the age of seven, he pushed a young disciple in order to become the apprentice to his master; at the age of 10, he tried to perform exorcism but his timidity nearly killed his master; at the age of 13, his life was threatened before an Alsatian saved his life…”
