Chapter 797 - Karma From Past Life
Chapter 797: Karma From Past Life
The ghost baby made a slight pause as its eyes widened. Subconsciously, it reached out to tug Jing Wushuang’s sleeve.
Ni Feng also noticed the ghost baby’s movement but she did not say anything.
She knew Bodhi was very smart.
If she wanted to deceive Bodhi, she must do less and talk less.
They did not interact much when he found her in her past life.
At that time, she was sent to the magical realm and he tried every way to save her.
However, he never knew that she agreed to go to the magical realm, all because that man was there.
She was so close to getting Baili Jia Jue.
If it was not because of someone popping up and meddling with her plans, Helian Wei Wei would not be the one by his side right now!
Nonetheless, judging from the situation, it seemed like none of them had recalled the past.
Even Helian Wei Wei’s spiritual aura seemed to have vanished completely.
Heh, who would have thought that the Phoenix Girl, who reincarnated with Dharma Bone, would end up in such a tight corner right now.
Now, it seemed that there was nothing for her to worry about since the royal tomb was destroyed. The Nirvana Rebirth with the Phoenix Dharma would never reappear in the human world.
As long as the Dharma did not appear, she would remain as the real Phoenix Girl.
As for Helian Wei Wei… Heh, even if Baili Jia Jue stayed by her side and killed multitudes of demons, it was impossible for her to fend off the invasion of evil aura and miasma without the protection of spiritual aura. She was just a human after all.
Now, all Ni Feng had to do was to return to the Exorcist City, take control of all the exorcists and use the magical mirror to concentrate all the spiritual aura to her body. Then, she could tamper with the Six Dao of Reincarnation, reviving the dead and sending the living to their deaths.
Upon destroying the Path of Reincarnation, not only would she be sitting on top of the entire world, she could also use it to merge with the Phoenix Girl. With that, she would be able to obtain all of her fortune!
Jing Wushuang was clueless about this.
All the while, she was the only person who truly knew her intentions in her heart.
As Yue Lao had said, once the red string was drawn, regardless of whether it was drawn wrongly or not, it would always exist.
Hence, she would turn herself into the Phoenix Girl and become that person’s one and only!
The low noise that came from deep under the ground never stopped as dust emerged from the mountainside. One could feel it even if they were in the Exorcist City. Times are about to change!
The teams that were unable to reach the tomb entrance within designated time had already returned to their starting point.
As they listened closely to the sound in their ears, coupling with a gasping noise, it sounded as though something was trying to crawl out from the underground.
The exorcists’ eyes were full of worry, let alone the children who were so scared, they ran into the arms of adults.
Noone knew what was happening, the judges stared at the sandalwood incense on the ground that had finished burning. It was initially used to determine the winner and the loser.
Whichever team that came back earliest would have their points increased.
However, up until now, apart from the teams that did not make it to the entrance of the tomb, those who managed to enter the tomb were nowhere to be seen.
“Could something have happened?”
“Don’t worry, Old Ni and the Phoenix Girl are here. Even if something were to happen, it wouldn’t be a big problem.”
“But I still feel that something’s wrong… Wait! Look over there!”
Someone pointed toward the black fog emitting from the mountainside, their faces full of dread. “Something’s not right! All the demons that were suppressed in the tomb have escaped! They’ve escaped!”
“That’s impossible!” As the tribe’s judge, Ni Shi could not believe this sort of thing would happen. When he turned around to look, his voice quavered. “How… How could this…”
Madam Zhuge was the calmest person among the waiting group. She put her arms around the little one who rushed into her arms and calmly opened her mouth to speak, “No matter what is happening now, we need to think of a solution. We can still make it if we start setting up a formation this instant, let the children go back to the city first.”
“Madam Zhuge is right.” A voice sounded suddenly as if it came out of thin air.
The crowd lifted their heads and looked in the direction of the voice. All they saw was Ni Feng descending from the sky with a veil on her face, followed by Jing Wushuang.
Jing Wushuang resumed his role as an attendant, silently standing by the side with a weak sense of existence.
Everyone felt as if they were looking at their saviour when they saw Ni Feng. They rushed over in excitement. “Lady Ni, you’re finally back! Why are you alone, what about the others? What’s happening over at the royal tomb? What is up with all the black fog?”
“Those black fog was released by foreign exorcists.” Ni Feng’s voice was soft, carrying a slight cough. She sounded grief-stricken. “None of us expected that someone would hijack of this competition to retrieve the Sarira. Everything hasn’t gone very well from the moment we entered the tomb, two people died as soon as we opened the tomb. We kept looking for the source of the problem, only to realize that there are magic practitioners hidden among the exorcists. However, it was too late for us to stop it, all the demons sealed in the royal tomb were released. Old Li and my father were possessed by evil spirits and they were left in the tomb. Now, the tomb has collapsed, it won’t be long before the demons and ghosts come rushing out, we need to head back to the city immediately!”
Ni Feng said so just in case someday Old Li and the rest came back alive.
When the time comes, she still had an excuse not to let them enter the city.
Being possessed by evil spirits would mean that they have turned to the evil side.
Even if she did not have time to murder them to prevent the divulgence of her secret, no one from the Exorcist City would believe them anyway!
Humans had always had an inherent fear and hatred for ghosts.
On the other hand, when facing gods, they would worship them without any questions.
Right now, she was the reincarnation of the Phoenix Girl to them, she was a goddess to them!
As expected, they followed Ni Feng’s advice and immediately started packing their things, getting ready to return to the city!
On the contrary, Madam Zhuge felt a wave of dizziness, she pressed her fingertips against her temples. Her voice became hoarse as she said, “Both Old Li and Ni Biao have been possessed, what about Ah Yun? Is he alive or dead?”
“Aunt, I know that it’s hard for you to accept this.” Ni Feng turned away, her eyes red. She continued with extreme sadness, “When father got possessed, I killed him myself. I almost had a breakdown at that time, but I had to do it because I have to give others an explanation. Aunt, even though I shouldn’t be telling you this, I have no choice but to tell you about it at this point in time. There’s something wrong with one of the people from the Zhuge family, she dressed up as a man and sneaked into Exorcist City, obviously having other plans in mind. In fact, she’s not even an exorcist, she’s a cultivated demon. It was her who released the demons in the tomb. As for Brother Yun, he’s still alive, but I’m afraid he’s been possessed by evil spirits. Even if he manages to come back someday, it would not be the real him.”
