Chapter 740 - The Real Phoenix Girl, The First Slap In The Face (2/2)

“Is that so?” Baili Jia Jue who had been silently standing by the side the entire time let out a smile. He stood where the sun shone, using his left hand to put on the glove for his right hand. His long and narrow eyes sparkled like gleaming gems with an inexplicable sense of elegance. The curled corners of his mouth were like hooks, entrancing people with ease.

For some reason, Zhuge Yun found him devilishly charming. He was so infatuated that he could only nod his head absentmindedly.

Helian Wei Wei began laughing as she could certainly understand what His Highness meant. She then said in a clear voice, “The contest has just begun, perhaps we will end up being the ones waiting for them.”

“Hopefully.” Zhuge Yun did not really take Helian Wei Wei’s words to heart. He was busy thinking about how he could guarantee the safety of their team on their journey to the tomb entrance. As for the rest… even if he did want to win, he did not dare to think too much about it. First and foremost, he had to guarantee the safety of these two people, that was his promise to his mother.

Unbeknownst to them, Xiao Lingyu had overheard Helian Wei Wei’s words. He scoffed as he turned to say to the people behind him, “Look at that, what did we just hear? They should really take a hard look at themselves. I think it would be a great accomplishment for them if they could avoid dying here. Yet they are dreaming of winning? There should be a limit to arrogance and conceited. These people are really thick-skinned.”

Unsurprisingly, the members of the other eight teams began to join in his mockery.

Originally, every route would have 10 different teams starting together.

From their team formation to their skills, Xiao Lingyu’s team was undeniably the strongest team on this route.

Some exorcists had secretly begun to plot their own schemes from the moment they started.

As the heir of the Xiao Family, Xiao Lingyu’s exorcism magic should be more than competent. This also meant that if they could curry favor with him, then they would not have to face any demons that appeared on their own. As long as they could make it to the tomb entrance alive and finish among the top 10 teams, then they would be able to enter the graveyard and see the Sarira.

Thus, once Xiao Lingyu opened his mouth, his words immediately received a favorable response from the people around him.

“Master Xiao, let’s ignore them, let them continue standing here in their daydreams. If anything appears later, they will know to whom they should kneel and beg for help!”

As the sound of their laughter grew louder, it caused the entire forest to vibrate with the echo of it all.

Zhuge Yun clenched his fists as his face reddened with fury. This bunch of people is really too much!

However, Helian Wei Wei’s expression did not change in the slightest. She remained as indifferent as ever.

After Xiao Lingyu finished speaking, he led his people ahead triumphantly.

In an attempt to strive for vindication, Zhuge Yun immediately wanted to go after them, but Baili Jia Jue stopped him. “Don’t go there.”
