Chapter 757: His Highness’ Cool Slap In The Face

“Brother Wei.” Zhuge Yun looked at Helian Wei Wei anxiously. “Could you please ask Brother Jue to come back? Opening the tomb door isn’t an easy task, let me go instead. If I were to go, there is at least a slim chance of survival.”

Helian Wei Wei laughed as she said, “Yun, you have to learn to trust your teammates.”

Zhuge Yun was rendered speechless, not only did he have trust in him, strictly speaking, he was even afraid of Brother Jue. If not, he would not have asked Brother Wei to persuade him.

“No worries.” Helian Wei Wei patted the young man’s shoulder. “It’s nothing more than opening a door.”

Zhuge Yun was about to yell. What do you mean by just a door? This was not their home, it was a graveyard, a millennium-old royal tomb!

Zhuge Yun knew if Brother Wei remained silent, Brother Jue would possibly not return. His face turned pale out of distress as he grabbed the mahogany sword in his hand even tighter.

Ni Hu was relieved from sulking after watching this scene. The smile on the corner of his lips became broader, waiting to see Zhuge Yun’s team bawl!

Yet, Baili Jia Jue paid no attention to him. Strands of long wavy hair cascaded straight down his cloak, sweeping past the icy stairs, appearing as deep as dark night.

He raised his hand casually under the dim light coming from the torch. His white teeth brushed through his black gloves to pull it tight. His good-looking and pure facial features carried a faint arrogant smile. It was just a normal gesture, yet, he was able to give out an aura of indomitable superiority, just like the nobles that would only appear in the Emperor Motion Pictures.

Helian Wei Wei laid her eyes on him. Never had she ever felt as though he was an absolute devil like this moment in time.

Bewildering one’s eyes, deluding one’s heart.

It seemed like his demon nature became even more intense after he arrived at the ancient tomb.

That overbearing and omnipotent manner became increasingly stronger.

However, no one knew that in actual fact, Ni Hu treated him as a rather good-looking kept man in his eyes.

All the exorcists took a step back, thinking that he might need to do something to open the tomb.

However, Baili Jia Jue did nothing much. He brought a smile to his face and pressed on the tomb door with his fingers in black gloves.

He then exerted some force and a loud bang resounded in the air.

Clusters of black-colored feathers emerged and drifted to the sky, producing prolonged howling sounds.

The feathers flying in the sky fell as though they came to life.

As the exorcists were all shocked, they held up their mahogany swords and pointed toward the tomb entrance!

Only Baili Jia Jue’s tall figure remained still. He spread his long legs and walked out of the clusters of feathers. Following the feathers falling onto the ground, everything inside the ancient tomb tried to keep away from him and became his background.

The color of black arose, occupying the clear sky.

He stood under the shadow of the feathers, revealing an expression that looked like a smile. A smooth curve that appeared on his chin reminded Helian Wei Wei of a scene in the magical realm where she once encountered him.

Flowers bloomed in every corner within 9980 miles.

He walked in with an upright posture, the fluttering of his long robe in the air was more than enough to make countless magical beings’ hair stand on end.

From the way he acted at the moment, one could tell that he was truly the ruler of darkness.

If compared to Baili Jia Jue’s elegant and calm disposition, the others were not in their right minds. They withdrew their swords and started getting rid of the weird feathers as they were afraid of coming in contact with anything filthy.

Out of their expectation, the feathers disappeared in the air, leaving no trace behind just as they lifted their hands.

“What’s the matter?” Ni Hu had never come across such a strange situation. He trembled out of trepidation as he thought that the feathers had penetrated his body.

Although these people are all exorcists, they were also ancient people. All they could think about were the ghost spirits but nothing else.

Once they realized that their Taoist art was of no use, for sure they were put on edge.

Ni Biao remained a normal expression on his face, however, the rest of them could not hide their fear on their faces.

The fact that Baili Jia Jue was still alive was something that was beyond belief to them!

Moreover, there was not even a single scar on him!

How could it be?

Ni Hu stared at Baili Jia Jue with his eyes wide open. “You, how come nothing happened to you at all!” Even if it was him, he was not sure whether he could make it out alive. Yet, Baili Jia Jue did it just as easy as one would only need to open a door!

Baili Jia Jue did not even look at him as he casually swayed his blue and white attire.

Ni Hu had never been belittled by anyone before. His voice became hoarse as he uttered, “You must have done some tricks, or maybe you were possessed by the evil spirits of the feathers, that’s why…”

“Young Master Ni,” Helian Wei Wei interrupted with a dull voice before Ni Hu finished speaking. “The feathers you spoke of don’t exist at all, it is something that was bound to happen when you open up an ancient tomb. Once the millennium-old mural inside the ancient tomb gets into contact with the air, the paint on it would fall off and start to volatilize, creating an intriguing reaction with the air. It would then appear in front of a person’s eyes as if it really came into life but it’s just an illusion. If not, why would the feathers disappear for no reason in an instant? Young Master Ni, next time, before you doubt others, please do use your brain to think carefully first and have a look at what is on the walls of the graveyard.”

The exorcists then saw the feathers engraved on the walls after it was mentioned by Helian Wei Wei.

Everyone burst into laughter.

Obviously, they chortled due to Ni Hu’s remark.

Ni Hu’s face went red but there was nothing he could say to refute Helian Wei Wei. All he could do was stay put, hoping badly that he could take back the words he had mentioned earlier!

The exorcists could not stop from laughing.

However, thinking about it now, even the exorcists themselves were in a state of panic, let alone others.

The only person who was calm and composed from the beginning to the end was none other than the Eldest Young Lady from the Ni family in the distance and the two foreign exorcists.

Besides, as for the volatilization this person spoke of, what does it mean?

Is this something that an ordinary person would know?

To everyone’s surprise, the old tomb raider replied in the affirmative, “This young master is right. The illusion during the opening of the tomb just now is a situation that we would sometimes come across during tomb raiding.”

If this person did not mention it, he would have forgotten it long ago. This tomb raider was indeed unfit for the job. What a shame!

“Not at all, I only know the basics, we still need you to be around.” Helian Wei Wei was always polite and courteous. She then bowed her head toward the direction of the old man in a respectful and considerate manner.

The old tomb raider was absent-minded again in a wink. Alike, indeed alike…
