Chapter 674 - Was There No One Else Other Than Wei Wei? (2/2)

The ministers were all mortals and were not able to come to terms with the horror. They were so terrified that their faces turned as pale as a sheet.

As the two possessed beings entered the hall, the atmosphere in Great Hall turned chilly again.

This coldness was unfamiliar, different from the time when the reapers appeared. This time, it made everyone feel as if something was perched upon their shoulders, heaving chilly air at them and making every hair stood on end.

Elder Xu Wu furrowed his thick white brows. Before they arrived, they had already discussed with the people from the neighboring country, that they were going to provide two victims who were possessed by hostile ghosts. Except things seemed to have gotten slightly out of hand now, and were more difficult to handle than he had initially thought.

However, it did not matter. Having joined hands with the Crown Prince, it was merely a piece of cake to finish off an exorcist who was possessed by the hostile ghosts.

Thinking of this, Elder Xu Wu let out another chuckle as stroke his beard. “It’s no big deal to us, and it will all depend on whether the Third Princess Consort can partic.i.p.ate in the battle. After all, this is a team match, unlike the previous two matches.”

Elder Xu Wu’s statement had reminded the people from the two countries that the next round was a team battle. No matter how powerful Helian Wei Wei was, the War Dragon Dynasty only had one skilled exorcist. Second to her was the teenager who knew nothing but the basics. If the two of them were to fight against Wen Ren, the Crown Prince, and Elder Xu Wu, they would not even be able to subdue the hostile ghosts, not to mention to win the contest.

Even if Helian Wei Wei managed to summon the judge, it would still be a futile attempt if the young man could not do anything!

The regrets that had arisen within the messengers earlier had disappeared without a trace as they reckoned that the War Dragon Dynasty was definitely going to lose this time!

This way, the plan they had devised in the beginning would still work out!

Liu Yu had also picked up on the problem. He turned to observe the faces at the Elder Compound.

For many years, ever since the Emperor had his eyes set on nothing else but alchemy, the Elder Compound had given up on practicing the Art of Yin and Yang in order to suit the Emperor’s wish. They had only been focusing on chasing after the Emperor’s dreams to cultivate a celestial being, which was why they had yet to produce a single decent exorcist to date.

Besides, the lot of them were only fixated on the ultimate goal of saving their own necks and certainly did not behave like how they were expected to as the people of the War Dragon Dynasty.

“Lord Liu, if you cannot manage the situation, let me do it. If I must, I will protect the Princess Consort with my life!” The man might be young, but he proudly stood upright with his small and frail frame.

Things had already progressed to this extent, and everyone knew that no matter who was sent in, the outcome would not be beautiful.

Nevertheless, for the dignity of the country, they must battle!

However, was it really necessary to send someone to an early grave?

Large beads of sweat were collecting on Liu Yu’s forehead before he decided to interrupt the teenager. “Let me think about it again.” There has to be some other ways. We’re definitely not doomed yet, but do we have another option? Do we really have to sacrifice someone?
