The Anarchic Consort (Book 1)

791-795

Ni Feng backed away in shocked upon hearing this.

Ni Hu lifted his head as well, his vision was shaking. "What do you mean by this? Are you saying that the aura from my sister's body is not spiritual aura?"

"Young Master Ni, you're still quite clever sometimes," Helian Wei Wei said while taking a candle from Zhuge Yun.

Ni Hu could tell the tinge of sarcasm in her words. He sneered loudly, "You really racked your brains to accuse my sister. You even made up the fact that she did not have spiritual aura. Is there anyone here who can't feel my sister's spiritual aura? Brother Wei, please don't simply say that it doesn't exist just because you don't have the talent to sense it, okay?"

"Lady Ni does have an aura." Helian Wei Wei raised her head and turned to look at Ni Hu. "However, it's not spiritual aura, but corpse's aura! Since Old Li said that Lady Ni is in poor health and can't take the risk to let her cast the Demon Killing Buddhist Incantation, let's examine her with a simple method now."

Helian Wei Wei smiled at Old Li as she said, "This method is something Old Li is most familiar with. Before opening the coffin, professional grave robbers would light a candle and place it at the southeast corner. After that, they would only start robbing the grave. If the candle goes out, they must put the things back in place and respectfully give three kowtows. Then, they must quickly leave, empty-handed. This is where the saying came from, stop robbing the grave whenever a rooster crows or when the light goes out. The reason why the candle will go out is because of the huge amount of corpse's aura released by the corpse, it would be very dangerous for them to go on. If it was spiritual aura or living aura, it would not have any influence on the candle. We can get the same effect by sticking a yellow talisman on the candle to test Lady Ni's aura..."

Upon saying that, Helian Wei Wei took a yellow talisman from one of the exorcist to encase the candle before lighting it. She passed it to Ni Feng, the corners of her lips slightly raised. "What do you think, Lady Ni? Do you want to bet whether the light will go out or continue to stay lit when you take the candle?"

Ni Feng did not reach out to take the candle, she looked at Helian Wei Wei with sombre eyes instead. The expression on her face changed bit by bit, even her breathing became heavier. The noise made them feel uncomfortable, it sounded like a noise that would be made by a corpse lying in a coffin. The sound resonated deeper as it placed a weight on their hearts.

"You, you really are..." Old Li, who was closest to Ni Feng, trembled at the sound. His lips were extremely pale. He could barely utter the two words, "A zombie?"

"Hahaha, hahaha, I didn't expect, I really didn't expect that I would be exposed!" Ni Feng lowered her head and burst into laughter. Her laugh was gentle yet oppressive, giving off an indescribable sense of eeriness. "But it's not a big deal even if I'm exposed, because it's all too late, hahaha!"

All the disciples from Ni family reached up to cover their ears. For some reason, they felt that the strange voice was coming out from their bodies!

Dark aura began to spread from the corner of their eyes, corroding their entire eyeballs.

When they lifted their heads again, some of the exorcists seemed like they had changed their appearances. Their eyes were hollow and veins had burst out on half of their faces, twitching like it was full of blood.

"What is going on?!" Zhuge Yun yelled. He was the first person to pull out the Mahogany Sword.

The remaining six or seven people did the same and pointed their scabbard at the mutated exorcists!

However, they were too difficult to deal with. They were not only nimble, but also skilled with their movements. Baring their teeth and swiping their claws, they lunged toward some of the exorcists!
