Chapter 668 - Xuan Bing Was Defeated With A Slap In The Face (1/2)
“Baili Jia Jue, can you see that Alsatian?” Helian Wei Wei was certain that His Highness could see what the exorcists could not.
As expected, Baili Jia Jue replied succinctly in a m.u.f.fled tone, “Yes.”
Helian Wei Wei continued, “Why is the Alsatian emitting a dark aura which seems rather different from the reaper’s aura?”
Baili Jia Jue furrowed his brows as he stared at Helian Wei Wei with a solemn gaze. “You can see the grievance in the Alsatian?”
Helian Wei Wei acknowledged, “Yes. It seems like the dark aura is getting increasingly powerful.”
Baili Jia Jue remained quiet as he continued to look at Helian Wei Wei with his sombre eyes. Is she the reincarnation of Phoenix Girl? Is this why she’s so sensitive toward the dark elements?
“What’s the matter?” When Helian Wei Wei received no response from Baili Jia Jue, she turned to look at him.
“Nothing much,” Baili Jia Jue spoke in an indifferent tone. “In most situations, even exorcists are not able to see that Alsatian unless they have achieved a certain level of cultivation.”
Helian Wei Wei was exhilarated. She gently raised her brows as if she was expecting a compliment from Baili Jia Jue. “Does it mean that I’m extraordinary?”
“Yes.” As Baili Jia Jue watched the smug Helian Wei Wei, his eyes sparkled with happiness, despite the fact that no one else sensed his overwhelming affection toward Helian Wei Wei.
After receiving the praise, Helian Wei Wei recomposed herself. “Is this Alsatian holding grudges against Xuan Bing?” Otherwise, why does it appear extremely bloodthirsty? Moreover, it seems so sorrowful and ready to attack regardlessly…
“You’re right.” Baili Jia Jue twitched the corner of his lips. Wearing a disdainful expression on his beautiful face, he continued, “Dogs are born loyal. Under usual circ.u.mstances, they are even willing to sacrifice their lives for their masters. However, Xuan Bing was too brutal toward his pet. Other than torturing it in public, he took away its life essence after its pa.s.sing. Then, he repeatedly used its soul to practice the Art of Soul Binding, trapping its spirit within the mountain for years. Now, it’s finally gotten a chance to take revenge on Xuan Bing!”
When Baili Jia Jue finished his words, he immediately felt a cool breeze!
“Woof! Woof!”
Everyone heard the unusual yet relentless bark. The deep tone of the bark sent chills down their spines!
“Where does the sound come from?” The exorcists turned to their right as they tried to search for the source of the sound. They appeared extremely perturbed because, according to the Study of Yin and Yang, dogs had psychic powers and their barks indicated the arrival of the evil spirits.
All the ministers stood up with horrified expressions plastered on their faces. Since the start of the compet.i.tion, the event had gotten increasingly inconceivable.
The dog’s bark resonated across the Great Hall, frightening everyone terribly.
What vicinity is the imperial palace located at?
This is where the Crown Prince stays.
With the tight security, how did this dog appear?
Unless…
Unless it’s a dead dog!
The ministers paled at the thought of it. They huddled together as they studied their surroundings while the deep and eerie bark continuously resounded across the Great Hall. The atmosphere was exceptionally sinister.
Xuan Bing could no longer contain his curiosity and turned to look at his left.
A face was resting on his left shoulder. It was pallor face with a pointed nose and thin lips. As if it had died a long time ago, it carried a chilly temperature.
However, that was not what horrified Xuan Bing. He was petrified because the pallor face appeared exactly the same as his!
Xuan Bing took a step back and his eyes were filled with dread, scaring the audience as well!
“Stand fast!” Zongzheng Wen Ren yelled outside the perimeter. “What you are seeing isn’t real. Stop moving around or you’ll ruin the entire formation!”
