Chapter 772: The Scheme

Chapter 774: The Scheme

When they heard Ni Hu’s remark, everyone stopped dead in their tracks.

The eyes that fell upon Ni Hu were brimming with disapproval.

Ni Hu did not realize that his constant provocations had caused the exorcists to lose faith and respect toward the Ni family.

In spite of that, he raised his brows at Helian Wei Wei with his nose held high.

Everyone knew that no one would be willing to lead the team now. Walking straight into the area covered in spider webs would surely mean death, as exemplified by Qing Shan and Qing Shui.

He was convinced that Helian Wei Wei could not remain arrogant in this situation.

However, Helian Wei Wei merely cast a glance at him. Then, she turned around to ask an unrelated question, “Does the competition rules still apply?”

Competition rules? What rules?

Some of them seemed to be unable to register the fact that they were still in a competition.

After spacing out momentarily, they merely nodded and said, “Of course, the fastest person to reach the main coffin and the one that clears the most checkpoints wins.”

“Great.” After getting the answer that she wanted, Helian Wei Wei picked up a pebble before marching forward.

Zhuge Yun’s eyes widened roundly as he swiftly stretched out his arms to stop her, “Brother Wei, no! You don’t have to act rashly because of what Ni Hu said! He has always…”

“Act rashly?” Helian Wei Wei blinked and continued, “Oh! Seeing his level, he’s nothing for me to be worried about. Aren’t we still in a competition? We need to clear more checkpoints to win.” Her target had always been clear, and it was all about obtaining the Sarira.

Zhuge Yun was dumbfounded after listening to her. So, it’s all for the sake of winning.

No, it’s still too dangerous even if it’s for the sake of winning!

Before Zhuge Yun could even cry out his thoughts, Helian Wei Wei had already took a detour past him.

Ni Hu was greatly infuriated by Helian Wei Wei’s arrogant attitude that belittled him. Thus, he narrowed his eyes, wanting to watch her die a gruesome death.

The exorcists frowned as well and turned to stare at the center gravely.

Deep down in their hearts, they did not want her to die. Some even wanted to volunteer in Helian Wei Wei’s stead, but they had no idea on how to cross the spider webs. Thus, all they could do was stand and wait.

Helian Wei Wei bent over to pick up another pebble. She had already collected seven or eight pebbles of various shapes and sizes, nimbly juggling all of it in her palm.

Nobody could understand her purpose until she tossed the first pebble ahead of her. Suddenly, a ball of web rolled over. Then, the exorcists’ eyes widened and quivered in disbelief, as they thought to themselves. This works too?

Helian Wei Wei continued to toss the pebbles in front of her while continued doing it unhurriedly. She would only take another step after removing a huge pile of spider webs. Her relaxed and indifferent attitude made it seem as though she was toying around.

Nobody knew that in the eyes of Mercenary Queen, these spider webs were weak and fragile.

By throwing something at it, the spider webs’ form could be broken. They were unlike modern lasers, which could not be cut at all. Even with optical goggles, one could not completely avoid being hit by the lasers.

Helian Wei Wei twitched her thin lips as she tossed the last pebble. Soon, she had already reached the next entrance. So, she carelessly dusted her hands before turning around and said with her brows raised, “Alright, you guys can now follow the path that I’ve cleared.”

Zhuge Yun was stunned.

At that moment, the exorcists even forgot how to breathe properly.

Meanwhile, Baili Jia Jue was the only one that moved. It was hard to ignore him as he strode forward with his tall figure and long legs. He seemed to possess a regal elegance that was not found in Helian Wei Wei.

Everyone gawked every step he took as he ambled over to Helian Wei Wei and then… He took her hands and gently cleaned it with a handkerchief.

“Uhm…” Zhuge Yun broke into a cold sweat. Brother Jue is a little overly fastidious.

However, why did that scene seemed so beautiful to him.

He thought that he saw loving affection between the two men, so he assumed that his eyes must have deceived him.

Zhuge Yun shook his head furiously. The poor young man was so frightened when he thought he might be gay.

After calming himself down, Zhuge Yun followed the path as well. However, he proceeded more cautiously than Helian Wei Wei and Baili Jia Jue, as he was afraid that he might take the wrong steps.

In reality, Helian Wei Wei could only walk so casually because she knew that the web was dead and unable to repair itself. Thus, as long as the spider was not around to spin new webs, there was nothing to be afraid of.

Eventually, Zhuge Yun reached the other side. His forehead was covered in sweat as he was too nervous. After calming down, he quickly turned around to shout at Xiao Ling and the rest, “It’s okay, come over!”

On the other hand, saying that Ni Hu was embarrassed would be an understatement.

Xiao Ling specially addressed him as he was leaving, “How thick-skinned of you to provoke Boss Wei when you aren’t even that capable!”

In the past, Ni Hu would not even look at people like Xiao Ling in the eye. All the exorcists in Exorcist City constantly worshipped the Ni Family as their role model.

No one would dare to mock him like this.

Ni Biao noticed that suddenly, these people had stopped lauding whatever he said.

For as long as he lived, he had spent his whole life trying to suppress the other families. He even framed his best friend, Zhuge Sheng, so that he could one day rule over all Exorcising Tribes.

He almost reached his goal now but his plan was falling apart in the hands of an outsider.

Ni Biao furiously gritted his teeth, but he had to promptly let go.

After all, Old Li was standing beside him.

Yes, my daughter is the Phoenix Girl, who is the celestial spirit’s reincarnation.

As long as the Phoenix Girl stands, no one would be able to uproot the Ni Family’s foundation, no matter how strong they were.

Among Exorcising Tribe, the Phoenix Girl was akin to a goddess.

However, he still had to think of a way to eliminate those two people, or at least that Wei person.

The moment he came to this conclusion, a sinister snicker filled his ear, as it spoke in a low and hoarse voice, “I can help you, as long as you bring me that Wei person that you speak of. Then, I will devour her.”

Who?

Who’s speaking?!

Ni Biao looked behind him but there was no one there. Suddenly, chills ran down his spine as his fingers reflexively unsheathe the Mahogany Sword that was on his waist.

“Stop searching, you can’t see me.” The voice laughed huskily, as the sounds of spiders scurrying across the ground echoed through the air. It was terribly daunting…
