Chapter 744 - Get Humiliated For Ridiculing His Highness (1/2)

The compet.i.tion rules had, in fact, stated that foreign exorcists could choose to join other teams after reaching the tomb’s entrance based on the performance of each faction.

However, the exorcists would not switch teams under normal circ.u.mstances. One reason was that these factions would have already discussed suitable remuneration before scouting these people from outside. Secondly, switching teams might cause internal disputes between the exorcists. After all, they would only have a real chance of making it to the end of the road if they followed after the Ni family.

Therefore, this particular rule had never really been taken seriously by the people.

Yet now, Young Master Xiao had unexpectedly given out an invitation even before a glimpse of the tomb could be seen!

All the exorcists turned to look at Helian Wei Wei, their eyes filled with an immense surprise!

However, upon further thought, the actions of the Xiao family’s Young Master were understandable as he already knew too much. Entering the graveyard with this person would be a breeze due to her competency even if they could not feel any spiritual aura coming from her.

The most admirable thing about her was her unruffled att.i.tude of being calm and collected while being in command. It was as if everything was well within her grasp.

Of course, all the exorcists at the Xiao family’s side were hoping that Helian Wei Wei would join them.

The other exorcists also thought that there was nothing left to discuss on this matter as the Xiao family was undoubtedly better than the Zhuge family regardless of whether one looked at the number of people or the power. Furthermore, getting paid 10 times more was no small sum. All of them believed that no one would reject such a lucrative offer.

Zhuge Yun’s eyes turned dim but he did not speak. These two benefactors had helped him enough to get him to this point. He would still be gratuitous to them even if they chose to join the Xiao family.

However, unexpectedly, Helian Wei Wei merely laughed wickedly, “Young Master Xiao, I will give you 20 times the amount if you lead your team and join the Zhuge family.”

Young Master Xiao was temporarily stunned upon hearing that. Looking at Helian Wei Wei’s expression, his feelings of wors.h.i.+p grew. “Brother, you have the temperament of a great hero and money holds no worth in your eyes, as I expected. I am in awe!”

Helian Wei Wei could almost confirm that the Young Master of the Xiao family was, in fact, a strange person. The ruder she treated him, the more he acknowledged her as being amazing.

She could understand that his way of thinking was different from others because he was still young. However, Helian Wei Wei also noticed that Young Master Xiao had tried to plot to his advantage a plan that would have cost others their lives to allow himself a chance at escaping and that was not something to be commended for.

This alone would be enough to make Helian Wei Wei refrain from talking to him. She turned her head to face Zhuge Yun. “Young Master Yun, let’s walk to the left,” she said with her usual tone with an unchanged clarity.

Zhuge Yun was still a little stunned as he was already mentally prepared that the two benefactors would choose the Xiao family. Who would have known…

Noticing how Zhuge Yun remained immobile, Young Master Xiao walked in that direction instead, “Brother, wait! I’m coming with you!”

The initial 10 teams were now left with only three. Everyone wors.h.i.+pped Helian Wei Wei as the eminent one so they would definitely choose to follow whatever route Helian Wei Wei picked.

However, they noticed that the three people in front had disappeared as they were walking.

Zhuge Yun did not realize that he had been walking fast as he was merely following Baili Jia Jue. They had already lost track of the people tailing behind them when he got back to his senses.

There were two silhouettes on the tree branches. Witnessing the scene, their eyes somewhat darkened. “Old Xu, did you see that?”

“I did,” the other person scoffed as he caressed his white beard. “Those foreign exorcists are surprisingly smart. However, all of that is mere child’s play for us, the Ni family. Just wait, they will reach the Well Sea Waterfall after they pa.s.s through this boundary. The things sleeping there aren’t as easy to deal with as those bats. Let’s not get too close when the time comes, we should let them experience the power of those things before we step in. We ought to let them have a taste of a tough situation as Old Master has ordered.”
