Chapter 852: A Slap In The Face (Part 1)

“Eldest Young Lady!” After hearing Ni Feng’s words, the disciples of the Ni Family were deeply moved.

Even the exorcist elders had looks of guilt on their faces, “Feng’er, don’t push yourself too hard. Everybody knows about your physical condition.”

“Uncles and aunties, I know that you care for me. However, since Brother Yun has mentioned it, if I really don’t do something, then those hostile ghosts would prevail.” After Ni Feng spoke, she coughed a few times, as if to show how weak her body was.

Upon seeing this, the exorcist elders could not help but be angry, “If Feng’er is able to manifest the Light of Buddha and create the Dharma of the Phoenix, then every single person from the Zhuge Manor has to be arrested! Only then will it be fair for Feng’er!”

“Even if Ni Feng can’t manifest the Light of Buddha, it will still be my own fault. Why must you involve other people?!” Of course, Zhuge Yun could not accept that condition. He felt that this whole matter was going too far! These exorcist elders were completely deceived by Ni Feng. They would subconsciously defend Ni Feng no matter the circumstances! Could it be that the words ‘Phoenix Girl’ had left a very deep impression on the Exorcising Tribe?

The situation took an unexpected turn. Elder Zhang looked at him and said, “If it turns out that you are wrong, and people from the Zhuge Manor are not arrested, how do we pacify the people of Exorcist City? If we simply let every single person who has questioned the Phoenix Girl go, won’t the Exorcist City be in more chaos?! Ah Yun, you are the heir of the Zhuge family. You must be mindful of what you say. Nobody can hide the truth from the people in the Exorcist City. Since we have accepted your request to let Feng’er prove her innocence by manifesting the Light of Buddha and creating Dharma, you should pay the corresponding price as well.”

This was indeed the rule of the Exorcist City.

Precisely, Ni Feng knew about this rule.

So she was sure that he would not agree to it.

Zhuge Yun gritted his teeth. If it was only himself, it would not matter, but betting the entire Zhuge family…

Hesitation appeared on Zhuge Yun’s face as his young mind filled with countless apprehensions…

“We agree.” Madam Zhuge walked out from behind him. Both her hands were still tied together, yet she possessed an imposing presence that was indescribable, “Ah Yun, our Zhuge family has always had a clear conscience when doing things. Knowing the truth yet being afraid to expose it, letting the evildoers cause mischief in Exorcist City, is not the style of the Zhuge family. Let them begin then. The Zhuge family is in this together, we are not afraid of getting arrested, let alone being threatened!”

As if stunned by Madam Zhuge’s speech, one by one, the small group of children stood forward.

They were still very young. The Zhuge family had fallen early, so although they had been born into an exorcist family, they had never been worshipped like the Ni family.

Even so, these little boys had learned certain principles since childhood. For instance, guardianship.

Looking at his own little brothers, Zhuge Yun’s eyes turned red.

The rest of the exorcists also stood forward, their actions expressing that they wished to live and die together with the Zhuge family.

Zhuge Yun looked up again, this time with stubborn heroism, “Alright then, just as my mother said, the Zhuge family agrees with the conditions. Now, Ni Feng, shouldn’t you start manifesting the Light of Buddha and creating Dharma?”

Ni Feng narrowed her eyes. She did not expect the Zhuge family to have this kind of capability.

But did they think they could expose her just like that?

If it was before, then they would have succeeded.

But now, it was different.

Even though she was not the Phoenix Girl reincarnate, she was still a Golden Lotus of Buddhism. As the Lady Buddha, although she could not fully resurrect and re-ascend the ranking of Buddhism yet, it was still easy for her to manifest the Light of Buddha.

Ni Feng smiled faintly and turned toward Madam Zhuge, pretending to look burdened, “I never wanted the situation to escalate to this point. I just wanted to temporarily imprison those who were possessed by the hostile ghosts and let them go once the city was safe. Since Auntie insists, I have no other choice.”

After speaking, Ni Feng put her palms together. Her lips moved while reciting words. The tips of her fingers twitched and her long sleeves fluttered. A stream of spiritual aura slowly flowed out of her.

Almost everyone felt the auspicious vibe flowing from her body, it was such a refreshing feeling.

Shortly afterward, the Light of Buddha descended from the sky, covering her whole body. From a distance, she looked like a fairy. Even the gaps between her fingers were glowing brightly.

The faint ray of light formed into a pattern behind her. It was a firework of Sanskrits, a Dharma of Buddha which nobody could deny!

Only those who had the Dharma fate could do this!

How could it be?!

It should not have turned out like this!

Zhuge Yun’s heart began to feel heavy.

He looked back at his companions behind him. All of them had the same expression on their faces!

When they were in the ancient tomb, Ni Feng’s body clearly emitted a corpse’s aura. How could she still possess the Light of Buddha, let alone manifest a Dharma of Buddha?!

Zhuge Yun took a step back heavily, looking up at Ni Feng, who had a faint smile on her face.

He instantly understood.

He had walked right into her trap!

Was he really supposed to just let Ni Feng have her own way?

Zhuge Yun clenched his fists. Why was he so useless?!

No doubt, he had expected the outcome.

With the Dharma of Buddha, those people would only worship Ni Feng even more.

She did this intentionally according to his words!

Sure enough, after seeing the Light of Buddha, those exorcist elders were shocked. They all looked at the scene with their eyes wide open, until Ni Feng absorbed the Dharma back into herself.

One after another, they snapped back to reality and exclaimed in admiration, “So this is the Dharma of the Phoenix, what a blessing to the Exorcising Tribe. I can die without any regrets now that I have finally seen this kind of scene in this lifetime!”

“Poor Feng’er, she is clearly the Phoenix Girl reincarnate and yet, she is always doubted.” Somebody looked at Ni Feng, feeling sorry for her.

Ni Feng lightly coughed a few times, looking like she did not even have the strength to speak, “It’s alright. As long as I can reassure everyone and protect Exorcist City, this is not a big deal to me.”

“Feng’er, don’t talk anymore, you should take a rest first,” said Old Zhang, before suddenly turning to look at Zhuge Yun. “What else do you have to say now? Do you still wish to say Feng’er is an impersonator? Ah Yun, you have truly disappointed me. Look at you now, even if you go to the Underground, your father would be ashamed of you!”

Ni Feng tugged at Old Zhang’s sleeves, “Uncle Zhang, don’t blame Brother Yun. He has been possessed by the hostile ghosts, that’s why he had come up with this kind of trick. However, he has been possessed for too long. It would be difficult for us to bring his sanity back.”

“Bring his sanity back?” The disciples of the Ni family shouted, “Those who have been possessed by the hostile ghosts should be killed on the spot! The Zhuge family insisted on protecting their youngsters! Now that this situation has occurred, merely arresting them is not enough! Zhuge Yun, you provocative evil spirit, prepare to die!”

As quick as lightning, five to six disciples drew their swords and stabbed at Zhuge Yun!

At this very moment!

A slender, pale hand clasped the wrist of one of the disciples that held a sword. Its strength was so great that the disciple could not even move an inch!
