Chapter 680 - She Summoned A Great Figure! (1/2)

“His Highness is right. There are clearly two parts in this compet.i.tion. The first task is to summon the judge, while the second task is to exorcise the hostile ghost.” Elder Xu Wu took one step forward as his eyes darted back and forth. Then, he announced: “The Third Prince and Third Princess Consort were indeed quick and efficient. They annihilated the hostile ghost in no time, but they failed to summon the judge.”

The exorcists looked at each other in dismay when they heard Elder Xu Wu’s words. Under normal circ.u.mstances, the judge must be summoned first, this was for them to use the dark spirit within the judge to lure the hostile ghost out of its mortal sh.e.l.l.

However, this time, the hostile ghost was decoyed merely by Helian Wei Wei’s 18 yellow runes, without the help of any other external force.

Everyone knew that if this compet.i.tion was judged solely on skills, Helian Wei Wei and Baili Jia Jue would be the undeniable champions.

However, the rules must be adhered to. Their failure to summon the judge might just cost them their victory… This was just like the first round when someone actively tried to suppress the winners via the technicalities of the game.

Elder Xu Wu was a good actor as he shook his head and said, “It’s harder to summon the judge than eliminating the hostile ghost. We can all understand why the judge didn’t turn up for the Third Princess Consort have used up all her power on the ferocious hostile ghost. Eventually, she couldn’t spare any of her power to summon the judge. That’s such a pity.”

It required enormous spiritual energy to maneuver the 18 yellow runes.

Helian Wei Wei was truly a powerful and formidable opponent.

Due to her impatience, youth and inexperience, she had recklessly channeled all her spiritual energy at once to exorcise the hostile ghost. Consequently, she failed to reserve any spiritual aura for the second task. It was to no one’s surprise that the judge did not make an appearance.

Elder Xu Wu chuckled, thinking that Helian Wei Wei had reached the limit of her capability. He was pleased that he could finally gauge her real strength.

However, much to his surprise, Helian Wei Wei’s lips curved into a half smile as she drawled, “Is it true that I failed to summon the judge?”

What?

Elder Xu Wu’s expression changed abruptly as he violently turned his head around.

Helian Wei Wei gathered her palms together as her inky black hair fluttered in the wind.

It was apparent that the spiritual aura Helian Wei Wei was brewing within her palms was even more powerful than before.

She simply stood there as gusts of wind swept past her from all directions, causing her cloak to sway along the wind. Overwhelmed by waves of fog, she remained motionless within the darkness as she chanted a few incantations. She squinted before she shouted, “Show yourself!”

Her words were succinct but it was extremely menacing.

Immediately, a corner of the Great Hall was frozen.

The fog within the shadows slowly rolled into turbulences before it began to condense, as though something was about to materialize.

All ministers were running out of breath.

Then, suddenly a deafening bang resounded across the atmosphere!

The dark fog dissipated as something fell onto the ground.

A five years old boy appeared in the middle of the Great Hall. He seemed to still be occupied with his work. He held a stamp with the word “Yama” in his one hand, while he rested his chin on the other hand, appearing as though he was bored of his job. He carried a pacifier in his mouth and wore a top head, with the word “Yama” written on it, on his head. Coupled with the black gown he was wearing, the boy looked extremely exquisite. Apparently, he did not expect to arrive at the human world all of a sudden. Dumbstruck, he was rooted at the spot. When he finally understood the situation, he cursed discreetly, “Who sent me to the ancient times? Send me to the modern era if they want to transport me! I swear you people are deliberately trying to separate me and Little Hook! How shameless!”

Who… who is this child?

The ministers were stunned, baffled at the sight of the little boy who was standing in the middle of the Great Hall.

Wasn’t she supposed to summon a judge?

Why did this boy appear instead?

“Fourth brother, don’t you think the boy has a very familiar voice?” said the reaper who was about to leave but had stopped in its tracks.

The fourth brother let out a laugh before answered, “Indeed! He sounds rather familiar. I almost had an illusion, thinking that I have returned to h.e.l.l. Otherwise, why would I have heard the son of King of h.e.l.l’s voice?”

Wait a minute. He’s the son of King of h.e.l.l?

All the reapers were startled as they took a look behind their back in synchrony!
