Chapter 676: Mocking The Third Prince For Not Knowing Exorcism?

Everybody looked at Zongzheng Yu Er upon listening to Baili Jia Jue’s words.

Their thoughts were shown in their eyes, what kind of woman is she?

Previously, Third Prince had bluntly expressed his stance. Yet, she continued to blatantly cling onto him.

All in all, Xuanyuan Kingdom was a great kingdom, but her actions had brought shame upon the country.

Initially, Zongzheng Yu Er reckoned that Baili Jia Jue would save her some face, considering that she was, nonetheless, a princess from another nation.

She did not expect him to be such a stony-hearted man!

Elder Xu Wu wore a glower face as he went forward to grab Zongzheng Yu Er’s hand and spoke in a muffled tone, “Princess, please stop talking. The Third Prince is an unyielding man. You’ll ruin your reputation if you continue to speak.”

Zongzheng Yu Er knew exactly how the bystanders were judging her now. She felt as if she has gotten a slap in the face and her cheeks were badly bruised!

She was puzzled. She reckoned that she was being considerate to Baili Jia Jue. However, not only he was unmoved, he even had intentions to finish her off in return for her kindness.

How did this happen?

Zongzheng Yu Er’s eyes were brimming with tears.

As her brother, Zongzheng Wen Ren could not stand by and watch as his sister was being bullied. His expression turned cold as he spoke, “Has Brother Baili not considered about the relationship between the countries when you spoke?”

Baili Jia Jue threw a glance at him and replied with an indifferent tone, “Before you think about the relationship between our two nations, you should teach your sister to be a reserved woman and not to lose her pride when she falls for a man. Has Xuanyuan Kingdom grown to be such an open-minded country that encourages its people to not be restrained by moral and dignity?”

They were perplexed by Baili Jia Jue’s words.

At this moment, even the exorcists of Xuanyuan Dynasty, too, felt that their princess’ acts were indecent.

They turned to look at Zongzheng Wen Ren in synchrony.

Zongzheng Wen Ren clenched his fists. He did not predict this outcome before he came to the Capital.

His sister was supposed to be welcomed with open arms and wed the prince honorably.

With royal intermarriage between the two kingdoms, this would not only enhance Xuanyuan Dynasty’s reputation, it provided an opportunity for them to leave their troops in the Capital.

But, now… Zongzheng Wen Ren narrowed his eyes but his smile remained. “The idea of royal intermarriage was brought up by your country’s minister before I came to the Capital. However, since that minister has already been beheaded by Brother Baili, Yu Er will not mention about this matter again. It’s not a big deal. Yu Er was merely being kind and thoughtful when she reminded Brother Baili about it. Yet, it was a little over the top for Brother Baili to bring in moral and dignity.”

After Zongzheng Wen Ren twisted the words, it had turned into an agreement between the two nations and embellished the fact that Zongzheng Yu Er was being overzealous.

Helian Wei Wei was pondering about how to answer on behalf of His Highness when she heard a fruity and cold laugh rang in her ears. “Yes, she’s so kind that she wants to break up a couple and be the third wheel of our relationship. Xuanyuan Dynasty has certainly enlightened me with your definition of kindness.”

Zongzheng Wen Ren was taken aback by Baili Jia Jue’s remark and his face turned sombre.

Zongzheng Yu Er was so ashamed that she wanted to hide under a rock.

The crowd was evidently chuckling.

Helian Wei Wei genuinely thought this exchange was unnecessary as no one could ever win an argument against His Highness.

Seeming to have realized that he could never win Baili Jia Jue over, Zongzheng Wen Ren threw a glance at the two exorcists who were possessed by the hostile ghosts. Immediately, his gaze deepened. “Since Brother Baili doesn’t appreciate the gesture, then let us proceed with the competition. The hostile ghosts are very different from human beings. They will not be convinced by you. Brother Baili has to be more vigilant in order to prevent further disturbance.”

All of the ministers were anxious for Baili Jia Jue. Now, they had heard what Zongzheng Wen Ren had to say, they were further perturbed when they saw the two exorcists who were impeded by the Peach Wood Sword. The exorcists were constantly extending their hands. The eyes of one of the exorcists were even glimmering with Qi of Yin.

Zongzheng Wen Ren paced forward to the center of the hall with a yellow rune in his hand. He lifted his gaze and powerful spiritual aura immediately attached on the yellow rune!

“This is, indeed, our Crown Prince Wen Ren!” the exorcists exclaimed their heartfelt admiration. “This is my first time seeing such pure spiritual aura. I am curious how things will turn out when the judge appears.”

Zongzheng Wen Ren heard this and his lips curled into a smile. Since Baili Jia Jue is unwilling to comply, I’ll teach him a lesson and show him how I’m going to win the competition!

“You can now release one of the possessed exorcists. Elder, work with me and fully purify him,” Zongzheng Wen Ren turned to address Elder Xu Wu.

Elder Xu Wu got into his position and nodded at Zongzheng Wen Ren.

Subsequently, the man, who was guarding the possessed exorcists, loosened the bind.

Without the restrictions of Peach Wood Sword and Spirit Binding Rope, one of the exorcists who was possessed by the hostile ghost pounced on Zongzheng Wen Ren!

Zongzheng Wen Ren recited a certain incantation. The yellow rune in his hand seemed to have received his order and began to levitate in the air. Vaguely, the crowd could make out a silhouette in a black robe. On its head sat a paper hat which was only worn by the dead. It was staring right at the hostile ghost.

The hostile ghost instantly gave up on attacking Zongzheng Wen Ren and turned to bite Elder Xu Wu!

He was extremely agile, which was an impossible feat to pull off by a normal human. Meanwhile, his teeth continued to click impetuously, making an extremely terrifying scene.

To avoid being possessed by hostile ghost, one must avoid any physical contact with the person who had been possessed by it.

This was the most difficult part for the exorcists. Owing to the advent of the judge, the hostile ghost had successfully escaped from its initial shell and was ready to possessed whoever it touched.

Zongzheng Wen Ren’s plan was to exterminate it after it was completely released.

Elder Xu Yu chanted an incantation and immediately created a screen between him and the hostile ghost!

The hostile ghost relentlessly extended its claws to scratch the screen.

Zongzheng Wen Ren swiftly turned around and took out another yellow rune.

Subsequently, he brought out the third and fourth yellow rune…

Supposedly, he would only succeed after he applied the fifth yellow rune. The first four runes that represented the north, south, east, and west were meant to trap the hostile ghost, while the fifth rune was the one that struck the targeted ghost.

However, no one expected the hostile ghost to shift its attention back to Zongzheng Wen Ren and charged toward him when he was about to apply the fifth yellow rune!

Fortunately, Zongzheng Wen Ren reacted quickly and he took a step back before he chanted the incantation to restrain the hostile ghost.

The onlookers noticed the sweat that soaked his forehead. If it was not for Elder Xu Wu who was profoundly experienced and utilized the incantation, Zongzheng Wen Ren would not have be escaped so easily.

After they had successfully subdued the hostile ghost, Zongzheng Wen Ren heaved a sigh of relief under his breath.

However, at this moment, the judge spoke. He gently furrowed his brows and spoke with an emotionless voice, “This hostile ghost is shrouded by an unknown aura of resentment. It cannot enter the hell.”
