Chapter 809: Who Was The One Being Overconfident
Helian Wei Wei thought that the magical mirror might be kept in the meeting room because the most dangerous place would often be the safest place.
The meeting room was the best place for that in the Ni family.
But Helian Wei Wei was frowning as she could not find it after going around the place, “Could it be that it’s not here?”
If not here, then where?
“It’s here.” Baili Jia Jue reached out his hand from behind her and grabbed her, with an evil smile on his face, “It’s just not above the ground.”
Helian Wei Wei moved to make some space and looked at the ground unconsciously, “It doesn’t look like there’s a secret chamber.”
“Hell.” There was mockery in Baili Jia Jue’s voice, “Beneath this house is the entrance from the human world to hell. That stupid Bodhi tree must have put the magical mirror in hell, waiting for the Light of Buddha to shine upon it. Although the idea is dumb, it will be hard to find it with it in hell.”
“So, to hell we go?” She laughed slightly, still reminiscing the special descriptions by His Highness. He seemed to really care since he had been calling them ‘stupid lotus’ and ‘stupid Bodhi tree’.
Baili Jia Jue took a glance at her, reached out one of his hands and lifted her face, “What are you laughing at?”
“Nothing, let’s go.” Helian Wei Wei held his hand, knowing better to go with his flow now.
According to the Son of the King of Hell, the current Baili Jia Jue was probably stronger than the time when he was the Demon King.
And so was his desire to control as well.
His Highness’ ways of expressing love had always differed from other people.
That was really…
Helian Wei Wei had no idea how to deal with the man, thus resorting to holding his hand to prevent him from having all sorts of crazy ideas.
“Okay.” Baili Jia Jue seemed to be cheered up by the gesture, so he grinned from ear to ear, “I haven’t been to hell for a long time. The demons there are larger and more abundant.”
Helian Wei Wei, …What’s with the excited tone?
Soon, Helian Wei Wei found out what His Highness was excited about.
Hell was different from what Helian Wei Wei had expected.
She thought that it would be infinitely filled with darkness.
But it was another form of beauty. In the darkness, there was a boundless desert. Among the mist, pure white cylinders stood tall. They were elegant and solemn, yet shady and desolate. Sand was dancing in clouds of smoke, and everything there seemed to bear the mark of sacredness.
Baili Jia Jue stood there with his long, black cape draped over his shoulders. The howling wind danced like demons, sweeping across all prosperity and desolation, lifting his cape in the air.
The sun was setting behind him.
It looked like the world was dyed blood red at that moment.
It was the golden timing of a sunset!
The hall was quiet and looked like it had hundreds of years of history. It was towering over them like clouds and looking ever so majestic.
The red spider lilies at the entrance of the hall were burning red like flames in the sky.
The giant carved pillars had signs of war and traces of spider webs, until the end of sight. This spread until the iron gate, replaced with two huge stone statues. The statues looked so stunning as if they were gods.
Not sure if it was just her imagination, Helian Wei Wei thought that one of the statues looked like His Highness…
The magical mirror could really be seen when they went down from the meeting room.
But to reach where the magical mirror was placed, they must walk to the top of the temple.
This temple, however, was like the gathering place for monsters. There were dozens of crawling monsters closely packed at each level and they were all staring at their visitors with bloodshot eyes.
Helian Wei Wei examined closely and noticed that the monsters could not move as if they were tied up by something. With a touch, these monsters would not be able to attack.
With that in mind, she landed her gaze on the iron gate of the temple. There seemed to be a talisman on it. Is this the one?
That is suppressing the monsters?
Baili Jia Jue walked toward the talisman slowly and hit it lightly with his index finger and middle finger together.
Creak—
The talisman dropped to the floor.
The giant iron gate seemed to come to life and it opened slightly under the bloody twilight. Then, countless black crows soared from the temple, with clusters of black feathers falling and the monsters were going berserk!
Bang!
From high above the sky, a figure in white celestial robe descended and blocked in front of Helian Wei Wei. He seemed to be over a hundred years old, with his long, white beard, but no one could simply ignore his exuding aura. Especially when he landed, the sole of his shoes sank three inches into the marble floor so effortlessly like penetrating through balls of cotton. With that, they were sure not to take this old man lightly.
“And there I was thinking who would be so brave to come to hell. So, it’s the millennium demon.” The old man chuckled and looked at Baili Jia Jue indifferently as if he did not take his seriously at all, “I advise you to leave. As a member of Tian Dao, I do not wish to kill, much less to touch your filthy demon blood with my hands.”
Tian Dao?
Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrow. So the old man before them was a God?
A God who watches over hell?
No wonder so many monsters are following behind him obediently…
“Let’s not be too sure whose blood will spill today.” Baili Jia Jue laughed with unprecedented evilness, “Unlike you, I kill gods for sport.”
As he was saying that, his black robe flew and danced in the air, as he lifted the deep, transparent water-like barrier behind him.
The demonic aura in the air was like the howling sea, so infinite and unreachable.
The old man scoffed, “You’re forcing me to be tough on you. All the monsters, listen up. This demon is all yours, eat him in any way you want!”
As soon as the old man finished speaking, the circling monsters took action immediately!
With their sharp fangs and claws, all that could come from the strongly demonic monsters was danger.
With all their might, they pounced at Baili Jia Jue!
One layer over another, they swarmed over him.
“Overconfident.” The old man had seen many ferocious magical beings before, and no matter how strong the magical being was, they would always be defeated by the seething monsters.
One should know that all of these monsters had each a tint of his celestial aura.
Tearing a demon apart was not difficult work!
But, just when the old man was about to leave.
The monsters that jumped onto their prey were bounced back!
Bang!
The monsters laid on the floor, holding their claws close to their chests. They were all curled up as if in massive pain!
The old man turned his head back and squinted. The demon who was supposed to be torn apart was standing there without even a scar!
Not only did he remain unharmed, but there was not even a fold in his robe. Aside from the fresh blood to indicate that he had fought back, nothing else changed.
Baili Jia Jue was even holding onto Helian Wei Wei’s waist and standing on huge enchanted flowers. They looked like a miracle along the way to hell…
