Chapter 337: Third Prince Was Here
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Helian Wei Wei was listening while looking down. She was thinking of a way to get out afterward.
After all, there were only a few of them in the room.
Those who craved for eternal youth were already holding on to the mythological beast and drinking from the opened brain. Their expressions were like those on drugs, lost yet high at the same time.
Helian Wei Wei had started to act as well, she knew she had to. If she were to reject it straight away, Murong Hongtu would surely treat her like how he treated the businessman earlier.
Of course, he would not be of her match.
But Helian Wei Wei had not forgotten about her mission today.
Tu Sufeng sent them here to secretly investigate on Murong Hongtu's recent information, but he did not want to let anyone know about this.
So, she could not fight.
"Why aren't you drinking?" The old woman in brocade garments, who was standing beside Helian Wei Wei looked at her doubtfully.
Before Helian Wei Wei could speak a word, Murong Hongtu suddenly opened his gloomy eyes and glanced toward her.
Helian Wei Wei smiled and said, "I want to know how it tastes like first. Besides, I think such good stuff should be tasted slowly to really know how it actually tastes like."
Upon saying that, she looked up and looked at the guard near her, "Bring me a wine glass."
"You really know how to enjoy," Murong Hongtu laughed and said, "bring me one as well."
Helian Wei Wei smiled, she filled the glass with blood, then she swayed her sleeves, "I'll drink first to show respect."
Murong Hongtu was staring at her without blinking, he saw that she had emptied her glass and there was blood left at the corner of her mouth. Then, he moved his gaze away and entertained the others, "Come on, cheers!"
The room was filled with jubilation, everyone was smiling in hallucination.
Whitey was worried and his forehead creased in a frown, "Woman, you didn't really drink it, right?"
"Why would I?" Helian Wei Wei covered her mouth with her sleeve. She coughed slightly, she could taste the metallic taste of blood in her throat.
Yuan Ming laughed, "Woman, you're so cruel to yourself." This woman was the only one who would use her inner force to get her veins snapped in order to stain her lips with blood.
Helian Wei Wei smiled gracefully with her left hand pressing downward. She chit-chatted with the people beside her as she regained her breath.
However, right at this moment, the old woman looked like she had gone insane, she sniffed around, licking her lips with her bloody tongue. She looked monstrously horrifying. "What's that smell on you? Why is it so sweet?"
Helian Wei Wei paused her breath, then she smiled, "What can be on my body? This room is full of the smell of blood, I think you're getting it wrong."
"Is that so..." The old woman's face was full of doubt, she lowered her head and thought for a while, then she called the person leaning on the wooden chair beside her, "You try to sniff on her, I think she smells great."
Upon hearing that, that person glanced at Helian Wei Wei.
Whitey was backing up subconsciously, he was worried that those first-timers would notice the presence of mythological beast after drinking their blood.
But Helian Wei Wei knew they were probably referring to the smell of the blood hidden in her sleeves.
"She really smells great, so great." That person was looking more engrossed than the old woman and he was bending over slowly.
Helian Wei Wei's fingers stiffened, but her gaze was calm as usual.
The two people looked at each other, then they started to approach Helian Wei Wei step by step...
"There's a smell indeed." Murong Hongtu grinned broadly, there was blood at the corner of his lips, he then looked toward Helian Wei Wei.
Helian Wei Wei did not move, but she knew very well about the situation that she was in. Looking at the drooling gazes on her, she felt as if they were not humans, but zombies which had lost all the senses and possessed only the sense of smell.
Helian Wei Wei squinted her eyes, she was brewing energy in her palms but her face showed no panic at all.
This made people think that there was nothing wrong with her.
"All of you do have a great sense of smell." Murong Hongtu smiled again, he passed by Helian Wei Wei and put his hand onto the string hanging from the beam. "The smell actually comes from this guy, he must have made a contract with some sort of high level mythological beast, which is why he smells great."
After Murong Hongtu said so, he used some force and a loud swishing sound could be heard!
A man in white and green robes fell down. He was chained with the shackles that were used to seize mythological beasts; those were more than enough to be used on humans.
The man's head was half-lowered with both his hands being tied to the beam, his black hair laid by the corners of his eyes, covering up his deep and serene eyes.
Only his angular chin and straight-edged nose could be seen.
Once he was let down, he raised his head slowly, looking so arrogant. Although he appeared in such a manner, he was still stunning and extraordinary!
It's him!
Helian Wei Wei was stunned when she saw the cold but charismatic man who was tied up, her brows frowned slightly.
The situation seemed to be getting out of her control.
She thought he was still staying in the academy when she went out.
How did he get kidnapped all of a sudden...
While Helian Wei Wei was having those thoughts, she saw Baili Jia Jue locking his gaze on her, his thin and sexy lips curving upward slightly, looking more flirtatious than he used to be. It was simply because of the faint smell of sweetness on the tip of her nose and the room full of blood.
After coming out from the cliff, Baili Jia Jue started to investigate on the matter of mythological beasts but he was not that passionate back then.
If it was not because of the magical beasts that appeared in the White Academy, he would not be here by himself. He had already noticed that Murong Hongtu was weird since the beginning, but he did not like wiping out his enemy with a sheer move, he liked to take it slow as that would be more interesting.
But... Murong Hongtu was the first one who dared to kidnap him.
Baili Jia Jue squinted his beautiful eyes, his gaze fell onto Helian Wei Wei again as he furrowed his brows.
"Isn't that your man?" Yuan Ming's tone was becoming more evil, "How come he was kidnapped?"
Helian Wei Wei gave Yuan Ming a very standard answer, "He likes cosplay."
Based on her understanding of Baili Jia Jue, surely he was being kidnapped on purpose... such a repulsive addiction...
Helian Wei Wei shook her head in her mind.
Murong Hongtu sneered and said, "This man was wandering outside the room and he thought he could hide it away from me, heh, how naive." Upon saying that, he brought over a sharp sword and smirked, "With such good talent, his blood must be tasty as well, that can also be the guiding drug for your mythological beast."

"Ah." Baili Jia Jue was looking at Murong Hongtu and he suddenly laughed in a low tone. His chin was slightly raised, showing its beautiful lines. The elegance that he was born with had made the others feel like they were being looked down upon, even when he was appearing in such a stance.
When Murong Hongtu saw his attitude, his face became even distorted. "You're such a brave man. Do you know what is used to tie you up? This is one of the two Mysterious Ice Iron Chains that exist in the world. As long as I gently pinch, you..."
Murong Hongtu did not get to complete his sentence as he then witnessed the man in front of him raised his left hand along with a cracking sound.
Crack!
The iron chain was broken!
Broken...?!
How is that possible?
Murong Hongtu's eyes widened and he stood still.
On the contrary, Baili Jia Jue was spinning his left wrist with a faint smile on his face. His legs were slender and straight, his waist was lean and his chest was broad, showing the shape of a perfect inverted triangle.
He dusted his robe with his hand to remove the non-existent dust. Then, he swayed his sleeves and the air started to vibrate vigorously. The remaining chains wrapped around his body were broken by the vibrations.
Meanwhile, Murong Hongtu could not say a word.
"What's up with me? Why don't you continue? Hmm?" Baili Jia Jue's ink-black hair was so long that it touched the ground. A strange bright light was shining through his black pupils, emitting an elegance that was hard to be neglected. He slowly moved toward Murong Hongtu and the black robe was draped over his slender figure as he revealed a murderous aura from within.
His look changed as he stood next to Murong Hongtu. His face was still handsome and charismatic, but his expression was sinister yet poisonous. His gaze was also cold and ruthless.
Murong Hongtu squinted his eyes and shot the three knives in his hand toward Baili Jia Jue!
Baili Jia Jue's figure dodged real quick until nobody was able to witness how he moved his body. When Murong Hongtu finally reacted, the three knives were already in Baili Jia Jue's hands. He then treated them like scrap iron pieces and threw them onto the floor.
Those were not normal knives!
Martial Qi was embedded in the knives and they were made by Murong Hongtu's master. They could even be used to kill the dragons in the sea.
How could he avoid such martial practice with just a single move?
"You, who are you actually..." Murong Hongtu was trembling. His fingers were all curled up and he intuitively wanted to run away.
Baili Jia Jue sneered and slowly reached his hand out. Along with a loud thump, Murong Hongtu was slammed onto the wall, bringing out a large number of ashes. His body tightened, his neck slanted and blood oozed out from the corner of his mouth.
The room was suddenly in chaos.
Apart from Helian Wei Wei, nobody could move or open their mouths.
Only then they realized that Baili Jia Jue had created a huge barrier from the beginning.
Everyone within the barrier had no room to escape.
"Fire Qilin. Your contracted mythical beast is a Fire Qilin!" Murong Hongtu was looking at the looming mythical beast behind him. He suddenly regretted as he had never thought that the sweet-scented mythological beast was actually a Fire Qilin!
However, it was strange. If it was a Fire Qilin, then he would have noticed the danger possessed by him from the beginning!
Fire Qilin smirked, "Tsk tsk tsk. I'm just simply covering up my smell and you are taking me as a harmless rabbit."
It was then Murong Hongtu realized that it was all a trap!
A trap awaited him to jump in!
After all, these stupid humans.
Did they really think that they could defeat him just like this?
Hahaha, this was ridiculous!
Murong Hongtu glanced at Baili Jia Jue. He then stuck his tongue out and licked his thin lips monstrously, letting out a baby-like spooky laugh. "Fire Qilin can only deal with me who has demonized when it was with him, but now? Ha. It is just a savage creature that is tamed by humans. You deserve this as you chose not to take the path to heaven, but to force your way into hell!"
Demonized? Helian Wei Wei frowned. As soon as she raised her head, she saw a translucent shadow flying out from the head of Murong Hongtu. The shadow looked distorted, like a dead baby. Its black fingernails were buried in Murong Hongtu's hair, sort of intimidating.
"Woman, watch out. Murong Hongtu is no longer a human being!" Yuan Ming said abruptly.
It was rare to see him being so serious.
Helian Wei Wei squinted her eyes. She had no time to ask about Murong Hongtu's current condition.
It was because she could clearly feel that the change in the atmosphere around her.
When she turned around, she finally understood the reason for the change in the atmosphere.
Those who were sniffing at her had lost their minds. Their expressions were sluggish and were walking toward Baili Jia Jue and her.
Those people were said to resemble zombies.
Then, they turned into real ghosts now. Looking at their blood-red eyes, she knew that it was because they had drunk the mythological beast's blood!
"Woman, don't get bitten by them!" Yuan Ming immediately appeared!
The group of people paused with their teeth groaning as if they were afraid of Yuan Ming. They did not dare to approach Yuan Ming, and hence they turned their greedy gaze toward Baili Jia Jue.
Baili Jia Jue was standing in front of Murong Hongtu with a murderous aura. He was filled with inexhaustible coldness and cruelty. He was looking at the scene calmly with his brows slightly furrowed.
"Woman, faster think of a solution. I have not fully recovered, hence, they will only be afraid of me for an instant. After some time, I'll have to return to the Fantasy Space," Yuan Ming exclaimed as sweat perspired from his forehead. "So, hurry up!"
"So there's still another one." Murong Hongtu laughed spookily. His red eyes looked toward Helian Wei Wei and said, "I thought that you have already drunk the blood. Since you don't want to drink, then you shall be sucked dry by the others! The messenger of devil standing behind you can't hold on for a long time. Moreover, such weak power can do me no harm. Just like what master has mentioned, you humans are always behaving as if you know it all but you are in fact dense. How could you believe in eternal youth? Hahaha."
Master? Does this mean that there's still another culprit behind Murong Hongtu?
Helian Wei Wei finally understood. She then raised her eyebrows and tried to provoke him. "If your master is so powerful, how come he doesn't even dare to show himself? He must be a coward." action
"Don't you dare to defile my master!" The baby on Murong Hongtu's head screamed. The shrieking sound it made was like the cries of a cat at night. "Master is the gentlest and smartest person in the world. His soul is as beautiful as the jade which you dirty and inferior human beings cannot compare to!"

Murong Hongtu said as he caressed the dead mythological beasts, "I am one step away from destroying the peaceful Qi here and completing the task given by my master. Haha. Who should I kill first?" Suddenly, the baby with glowing blue eyes above his head stared at Baili Jia Jue. "It's you then. I can feel the limitless vicious vibes surrounding you. If I managed to get your soul, then it would certainly half my effort, yet double my results."
Baili Jia Jue's pretty eyes squinted. The Fire Qilin behind him had stood in front of him before he even moved. Its fiery-red fur was abnormally bright and hard. "If I were you, I won't target my master."
"I don't want to fight with you, Fire Qilin. Are you sure that you want to stay here? The sense of grievances will drive you crazy." The baby laughed loudly again.
Fire Qilin clenched its claws. It did not like this house from the start but it could not tell why.
After hearing Murong Hongtu said that he was going to destroy the peaceful Qi, it finally came to realization and looked at the mist overflowing from the roof. It turned around and told Baili Jia Jue, "Master, you can't stay here."
The sense of grievances would directly affect my master who has lost his soul. We have to leave as soon as possible!
As the Fire Qilin finished talking, Helian Weiwei saw something black running out from the corner.
"They are rats!" Whitey said in a low tone, "Wei Wei, you have to stop him. Even the White Academy will be affected if the peaceful Qi is damaged!" Helian Wei Wei's gaze deepened and her little face turned cold. She had a bad feeling.
The rats ran back and forth in the house like flies that had no sense of direction. They laid in the corner of the wall after running a few steps. The fishy smell emitted from their bodies filled the room.
Those men were not frightened even when they saw the rats. On the contrary, they became more excited.
Helian Wei Wei's gaze became more emotionless as she looked at the people in front of her that could no longer be regarded as human beings.
Murong Hongtu observed the two people in front of him. In the end, he did not choose to attack Baili Jia Jue who had the Fire Qilin protecting him but instead fixed his gaze on Helian Weiwei.
Helian Wei Wei squinted her eyes and realized that the baby on top of Murong Hongtu's head suddenly disappeared.
Helian Wei Wei paused and immediately turned her head over, only to find out the baby was sticking on her back. It stretched its dark claws out as if it was trying to invade her body.
Swoosh!
Helian Wei Wei immediately slashed it with the dagger in her hands!
The baby did not even notice the pain and further stretched its claws!
In a speed of lightning, Baili Jia Jue moved and pulled Helian Wei Wei into his arms. However, his arm was scratched by the dark claw! His ivory sleeve was cut through and fresh blood immediately spurted out.
Yuan Ming's face was pale and he was turning into a faint image. "Sh*t, anyone who has been scratched by the abandoned baby magical beast will turn mad. If we can't find a way to break its magical curse rapidly, your man may start to randomly bite into someone..."
Helian Wei Wei's calmly pursed her thin lips when she heard this.
She did not have any other merits other than being protective of her loved ones!
Her usually languid face turned ferocious when she saw Baili Jia Jue's bleeding arm.
Murong Hongtu did not take it seriously. "Oh, it is blocked. I was thinking to dedicate your soul to my master. Since you are so disobedient, you shall just go and accompany them in hell!"
After Murong Hongtu's voice fell, an emotionless face appeared on the roof beam. It turned out that there were corpses hidden in the entire house.
They were all little kids, floating in the air. The sense of grievances became stronger and gradually covered the housing beam. The black fog began to linger, forming a swirl that seemed like it was going to suck everyone in.
They were like puppets that were being controlled by an invisible thread. Their fingers were stretching out, one after another, swaying back and forth, so sinister, luring, brutal and boorish. They tried to grab onto something so that they could either climb up or pull someone down into the dark hell. An image appeared in Helian Weiwei's mind as if she had experienced this before.
The sense of familiarity caused her to subconsciously cut her finger with the blade. Blood dripped onto the ground but she did not care about it. Her pupils expanded and she chanted a mantra, "May all the calamities end, freeing and easing all the suffering mortals. May all be sentient and benevolent, like the void. Eliminating all the confusions and obstacles, like the sun melting the ice. Under my command, kill the devils!"
For a brief moment, it felt like there was turbulence surrounding Helian Wei Wei, forming a shape that looked like the Eight Trigrams Formation. It also looked like an ancient verse converged by scriptures. It did not look real.
This alone made the expression of the baby on top of Murong Hongtu's head change! action
This... this is the Eight Trigrams Demon-capturing Chart!
Everyone from the exorcism family should have died long ago!
This woman, how does she know?
As Murong Hongtu's eyes widened, Helian Wei Wei waved one of her hands slightly and said the last sentence, "With my life, everything under the sky would move by my order!"
Swish!
The Eight Trigrams of Five Elements behind her was like a surging net. It shrouded Murong Hongtu and then tightened up!
The swirl seemed to have been penetrated by some kind of power. The black fog quickly dissipated and the emotionless face gradually became distorted and peeled off.
Rip!
His sleeves were torn.
In the blink of an eye, the black fog was sealed in the beam of the roof.
The baby could not stand to see the room that it had worked so hard to destroy. It let out a loud shriek and rushed toward Baili Jia Jue who was nearest to it, wanting to bite him!
However, before it could even touch his sleeve, an invisible Qi blocked its way, separating it in mid-air.
The baby then discovered that the color of the man's eyes was not ordinary black.
There was faint of gold lights within his black eyes!
The feeling of being burnt by fire came from the corner of its mouth. The baby's pupils expanded in a brief moment and it was swaying back and forth while looking at Baili Jia Jue's eyes.
This man could still release martial Qi even after it scratched his arm!
Why?
Why is it so?
The baby knew that it was about to be burnt off which was why it was confused.
No one except his master could defeat it when it was demonized, unless...
