The Anarchic Consort (Book 1)

756-760

Finally, they walked past Yin River and reached the distance where they could push open the tomb door for real.

At this moment in time, Ni Hu rolled his eyes, plotting a sinister plan in his mind. "Brother Yun, since you all have arrived earlier than us, then supposedly, aren't you all responsible for opening the main entrance of the tomb?

"What?" Zhuge Yun did not expect Ni Hu to put in such a request out of the blue.

Ni Biao was mindful of his beloved son's intention. He then sneaked a glance at both sides and the two disciples from the Ni family immediately kept away the Dog Blood Red Rope and the Binding Frost Iron Chain that they had prepared earlier.

Ni Hu laughed arrogantly, "What's wrong? Are you afraid, Brother Yun? That's impossible, wasn't your team the first to arrive at the entrance? How could you be afraid of opening a mere door?"

Zhuge Yun knew that Ni Hu did it on purpose.

Every exorcist was mindful of how risky it was for the first person who chose to open the tomb door as the methane gas from the ground would gush out all at once. If the exorcist was not filled with spiritual aura, it was very likely that this person would die due to the gas.

More importantly, this was no ordinary graveyard, but a millennium-old royal tomb.

No one had any idea what would happen once the tomb door was open.

"Brother Yun, we are all waiting for you. Hurry up, we are running out of time." Ni Hu gloated as he urged him, waiting to watch Helian Wei Wei and others embarrassed themselves.

Regardless of the fact that Zhuge Yun was equipped with the strongest spiritual aura among the ones in the same generation, Ni Hu was well-aware of the extent of Zhuge Yun's power.

His desire to break open the tomb with his power was almost impossible, hence there was a high possibility that he would get himself in great danger.

As for the other two amateurs, they were not within Ni Hu's consideration. Being able to fight did not mean that they would have the capability to resist the strange tomb. Judging from their empty hands without Chinese talisman or Dog Blood Red Rope, one could tell that they were not qualified exorcists at all. They were apparently here to look for death!

He was not afraid that Zhuge Yun would reject his request.

If he chose to reject, the round where the Zhuge family came first would be counted as nothing.

The Ni family was at an advantage in this matter.

After all, it was the regulation of the competition, despite other exorcists knowing that Ni Hu's actions were unethical.

However, competition would always be a competition.

The competitor must be able to abide by the rules, no point competing if one did not have the means to accept the victory.

Zhuge Yun looked at Ni Hu's provocative look, knowing that he must accept it. "Fine, but I have a request. It is just opening a tomb door anyway, I shall go alone. My two other teammates would stay out of it."

"Of course, I am not such an unreasonable person as long as Brother Yun, you adhere to the competition rules and open the tomb door." Ni Hu sneered in his heart. All he wanted was one of them to die, as for the remaining two, there was still time, he was not in a hurry at all.

Zhuge Yun bit his lips and was about to move forward with his mahogany sword.

A slender figure went ahead to block his way. It was a tall and upright figure with an aura filled with abstinence. "I'll open it."
