Chapter 784: Helian Wei Wei Approaching The Truth
“Brother Wei, how did you know?” Zhuge Yun’s eyes shone brightly in admiration.
Helian Wei Wei smiled, “You said that she was in poor health, and was isolated for a long time before she came out recently.”
“Yeah, but I didn’t say that she wasn’t well when she was young.” Zhuge Yun muttered to himself and continued, “But before Ni Feng grew up, she was really weak. Uncle Ni has never let her out, and Ni Hu even cried to me once, saying that his sister’s dying…”
“Ni Hu says that to you himself?” Helian Wei Wei’s eyes narrowed.
Zhuge Yun nodded, “Yes, we might not seem that close now, but we used to play together when we were young. I remember Ni Hu’s response was particularly huge, and the entire Ni family was in a gloomy state. I even heard that Ni Feng’s coffin was made ready. After her death, she would need to be cremated at a designated place as she was from an exorcist family. At that time, my father had changed into his exorcism suit before the Ni family sent over the message that Ni Feng was getting better.”
After listening quietly, Helian Wei Wei continued to ask, “Did this happen after or before you see the corpses?”
“Of course, it was before. I was too young at that time, and I haven’t practiced cultivation yet. I can only vaguely remember that the death of the Phoenix girl could not be known by the people of Exorcist City. Hence, the Ni family concealed the news tightly and said that they would only tell everyone after she was really dead. But what affected me the most was what Ni Hu said to me as he was crying while trembling. It was as if he was certain that his sister was going to die. No one could imagine that Ni Feng would live on, it was a miracle.”
“No, it’s not a miracle at all.” Helian Wei Wei’s voice sank low, and she lowered her eyes. “Someone had used a forbidden curse.”
Zhuge Yun’s eyes open wide. If Helian Wei Wei did not give him the look in time, then he would have shouted out!
“Forbidden curse, what forbidden curse?” Zhuge Yun tried his best to suppress his emotions and even his voice, however, he could not conceal his clearly surprised tone.
Helian Wei Wei fixed his gaze on him. “Corpses. Those corpses did not appear in the Ni family’s house without reason. They must have had a role to play, such as preserving the corpses. As long as there was enough blood and flesh of corpses, the dead could be kept as fresh as a living person. The spirits wouldn’t even discover that the preserved one was dead because the other corpses were her best camouflage.”
“Wei, Brother Wei, you mean that Ni, Ni Feng, she’s…” Zhuge Yun did not dare to even think of his speculation.
However, Helian Wei Wei remained as calm as ever. “Ni Feng should have died a long time ago. She is nothing more than a relatively fresh corpse.”
“This is impossible. If she is a corpse, where does her spiritual aura come from?” Zhuge Yun knew that this was a very serious matter, and his first reaction was to deny it.
Helian Wei Wei looked back at him leisurely. “How can you be sure that it is the spiritual aura?”
“I…” Zhuge Yun stopped, how to be certain that it is the spiritual aura? This could clearly be seen in everyone’s eyes.
Helian Wei Wei looked at him. Her voice was slow yet steady, “I remember that the exorcism book stated that a spirit can be formed from the years of accumulation of the corpse aura. As the corpse itself is the last spirit of a person, if it is rich enough, it can also form the spiritual aura.”
“But, but that doesn’t mean that Ni Feng is a corpse.” Zhuge Yun touched his cold arm and felt a sense of chill from the bottom of his heart that he had never experienced before. Intuitively, he refused to accept this.
However, Helian Wei Wei shattered his thoughts calmly, “When you approach a person who is rich with spiritual aura, you will feel refreshed. Do you feel refreshed during the journey?”
“That’s because we’re in the graveyard,” Zhuge Yun continued to struggle.
Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows and smiled, “Look at Ni Hu.”
After hearing this, Zhuge Yun really turned his eyes toward Ni Hu.
“It is known that the children raised in places of the rich spiritual aura will not be too bad. Since you are close to Ni Hu and are both born in an exorcist family if his sister really has the spiritual aura, do you think he will be at this point? Not only did he not master exorcism, but his mind is also vicious,” Helian Wei Wei continued, “and look at the faces of the other Ni family members, every one of them looks terrible. This is not how an exorcist family should look like. I used to think that it was because they’re in the graveyard, but if that’s the case, how are you perfectly fine? How are Xiao Ling and the others fine?”
At that moment, Zhuge Yun knew that the man was speaking the truth.
For it was true, he found it hard to accept.
Did they worship a corpse as the Phoenix Girl for more than a decade? Not only did the corpse not show any flaws, but it had also been enthroned by the entire exorcism community?
Unknowingly, Zhuge Yun felt that the matter was not merely about the corpse, but a huge conspiracy. It was so deep that he could not guess what the other side was going to do.
If Brother Wei had not mentioned it, he would never find out.
It was not just him, but the entire Exorcist City was kept in the dark.
The exorcising tribe had been invaded by the Qi of Yin.
Did that imply the whole world would fall into the hands of the demons?
Ordinary humans simply could not distinguish it. If something were to happen, the Royal Family in the Divine Mainland would unite, and issue a notice to the Exorcist City to let them exorcise the demons. This had been the rule for a long time.
But now…
“What is the Ni family trying to do, don’t they know the consequences!” Zhuge Yun clenched his fists and did not dare to think about it.
Helian Wei Wei’s eyes were calm as ever. “Most people in the Ni family should be clueless about this because it seems that even Ni Hu doesn’t know. If Ni Hu doesn’t know the secret, it means that only the person who did it such as Ni Biao would know. Regardless of his initial intention, it is clear that the situation is now beyond his control.”
“What do you mean?” Zhuge Yun could not understand the last sentence.
Helian Wei Wei raised her head, and looked at him, “You came back before us. Didn’t you notice that Ni Biao is not here?”
Zhuge Yun was stunned as he really did not notice that. He was only worried about the safety of the two people in front of him. He was so worried that he was not in his right mind, and could not notice anything else…
