“You have enough indeed, but your team must be the smallest ever in history.” Ni Hu turned back to look at his teammates and continued laughing. Then, he said, “Look around, there are at least 10 exorcists representing each faction. Brother Yun, you only have three here, how extraordinary.”
Hearing this, everyone burst into a peal of laughter again.
As the young head of the family, Zhuge Yun was not good with words so he had no rebuttal.
However, that was not the case for Helian Wei Wei and Baili Jia Jue, especially her. With a lazy smile, she said, “You think a big team makes you great? I remember a few days ago Young Master Ni brought a huge crowd along when he was looking for trouble at the Zhuge manor, but you were still beaten to a pulp. That was an extraordinary sight too, of someone who can’t win with so many people. Haha, Young Master Ni, how weak are you?”
In just a split second!
Ni Hu’s face instantly darkened.
The exorcists behind him had heard about this, but they did not know about the full details.
Curiously, Helian Wei Wei’s question made them feel like laughing.
Ni Hu had never felt so embarrassed. He looked at Helian Wei Wei angrily and said, “I don’t know where you’re from, but I’m warning you. You shouldn’t anger me, or I will make you pay!”
“Oh?” Helian Wei Wei laughed playfully. Then, she raised her arms and called out with a very clear voice, “Referee.”
There were referees present in the contest arena. Even if they were there for show, there had to be at least four referees present to regulate the contest.
At first, everyone treated them as mere props, but Helian Wei Wei’s call drew everyone’s attention.
The titular referee had no choice but to come over and ask, “What is the problem?”
“Young Master Ni Hu from the Ni family was taking advantage of their family status to threaten other contestants, how would you deal with it?” Helian Wei Wei spoke softly, but loud enough for everyone to hear her clearly.
Ni Biao was present too. Everyone else was standing, while the leaders of all major factions were seated on wooden chairs. They would only stand when the contest began.
Hearing Helian Wei Wei’s question made him grip the teacup tightly as he slowly narrowed his eyes.
The referee frowned. He looked at Helian Wei Wei as if she was being a clown. He wondered how stupid this person was. Is she really asking me how Young Master Ni should be punished? Is there something wrong with her brain?
Ni Hu laughed and looked at Helian Wei Wei as though she was a walking joke, jeering, “Deal with me? You should be grateful that I didn’t ask you to scram or beat the living daylights out of you!”
However, Helian Wei Wei was very calm and continued speaking in a nonchalant tone, “What? Just because the Ni Family is influential, they should get away with any wrongdoings without punishment? That is really eye-opening. So, the reality is that the Ni family, who prides itself with upholding justice, was merely paying lip service to it. Actually, they can bully people as they wish. What a brilliant way of hoodwinking the public!”
Helian Wei Wei’s comment made the foreign exorcists, who were here for the contest, begin judging his character. Their staring gaze at Ni Hu also seemed to fill with doubt.
They had no idea that the three major factions had joined forces to ostracize the Zhuge family. They also thought that the Ni Family was the pride of all exorcists, which was why they had traveled here from the outer cities.
However, now…

The exorcists looked at one another, and then at Ni Biao.
Ni Biao’s face began to darken. When he heard the ruckus at first, he knew that Ni Hu was finding fault with the Zhuge family and he never cared about such things. However, he wondered where the person came from, and how he trapped his son in just a few words.
Now, he must come forward and gave everyone an explanation. Otherwise, the Ni family’s well-maintained image would be tarnished.
Ni Biao always wanted to use the Sarira to rule Exorcist City. However, he had to gain everyone’s trust to ensure that he would be able to obtain that powerful position in the future.
Seeing the intensifying scrutiny from around him, Ni Biao had no choice but to stand up.
“Young Master Ni.” Everyone consciously cleared a path for him.
Ni Biao walked over smilingly, looking like a wise old man as he said, “Little Tiger, you have to apologize if you have done something wrong. How many times have I told you to change that hot temper of yours!”
Ni Hu was completely dumbfounded, as he did not expect his father to come over and lecture him. However, no matter how rebellious he was, he did not dare to disobey his father. He gave Helian Wei Wei a ferocious stare and with clenched teeth, he said, “You, and you, just wait and see.”
Baili Jia Jue, who he pointed at, had attracted great attention from the moment he appeared. His eyes were frigidly cold, as he raised his eyebrows and flashed a smile, causing many ladies to fall under his spell.
After all, only very few people could wear the exorcism robe so elegantly.
It was especially hard to ignore the aura of sexual suppression rolling off of him.
Ni Biao noticed Baili Jia Jue’s presence, and the vileness in his heart deepened. Then, his gaze darkened when he looked at Helian Wei Wei’s lazy yet delicate face.
Lecturing his son in public was a smear to Ni family’s image.
Of course, he knew about these two people and had investigated them.
One of them did not have any spiritual aura, but the other one was very skilful and had to be mindful around.
Nevertheless, just because of these useless skills, they were playing with fire by putting him on the spot.
Everyone said that Ni Biao was a generous person. However, no one was more vengeful than him. After seeing Helian Wei Wei and Baili Jia Jue, he was even more determined to make them kneel before him.
“Father, why did you say that to me just now?” Unlike Ni Biao, Ni Hu could not hide his anger at all. After he returned to the Ni Family area, he immediately voiced out his frustration.
Ni Biao looked at him and said gravely, “Do you think I don’t want to give those two a lesson? She has spoken in a way that if I didn’t step forward, those foreign exorcists will definitely question our family’s reputation. Little Tiger, you have to be less short-sighted when dealing with things. There are many ways to deal with them. We’ll let them take the most dangerous path to the royal tomb. Soon, they will know the price they have to pay for offending our Ni family!”
“I don’t want them to die so easily.” Ni Hu clenched his fingers tightly and said sinisterly, “Zhuge Yun or those two, I must make them regret messing with me!”
Ni Biao laughed menacingly, and said, “Don’t worry, I will send two more exorcists to tail them. With their incompetent skills, they will be attacked by the demons in the forests after a few steps…”
