The Anarchic Consort (Book 1)

746-750

"Father!" Ni Hu strode to Ni Biao's side quickly and spoke with his voice lowered, "It seems like there are some movements from the magical being by the waterfall."

Ni Biao was not the least surprised upon hearing that. Instead, he scoffed, "This is but a small lesson for them. Your Uncle Xu should have already made a move, just wait until those three lose their limbs, they will be carried to the tomb entrance. People will be there to witness what a joke they are by then."

Ni Hu nodded, the smile on his face appeared more arrogant than ever.

The other exorcists noticed and came over to ask, "Young Master Ni, any good news?"

"Someone from the Zhuge family gave the bold words that they wanted to win against our Ni family before we set out but it seems like it's possible that they will not make it even if we waited for three hours after reaching the tomb entrance."

Those who heard him burst out laughing. "The Zhuge family's team is still dreaming of winning?"

"Isn't that like throwing straws against the wind?"

"Who wouldn't agree with that? Of all the people to challenge, they are foolhardy to have decided to throw down the gauntlet to Young Master Ni."

"In my opinion, Young Master Ni couldn't care less about them, otherwise how could they still be living?"

"There is nothing to care about, the difference between their strengths are too big. It's just that those foreign exorcists are too good at bragging. Young Master Ni aside, think about Lady Ni, is she someone who can be defeated simply by anyone?"

"I don't think that any of us will be able to see them even if all the teams on our route have arrived."

"For all we know, they might not even make it here alive. This sort of team ought to just die out on their own, they really are biting off more than they can chew."

Listening to the remarks from all around him, Ni Hu's conceit ballooned to an even greater size. He was eager to reach the entrance of the tomb to witness how embarrassing and pathetic those three would be.

"How are things, Father? Have you heard from Uncle Xu?" Ni Hu turned his head and asked softly.

A smile appeared on Ni Biao's face as he listened to the commotion. "Now that the noises have died down, it should be that your two uncles have chased the magical being away. They must be dragging the Zhuge Yun team out of there right now. Let's just proceed forward and wait near the entrance of the tomb."

"Alright!" Ni Hu liked to witness other people regretting their actions the most. He had only thought of breaking Zhuge Yun's arm initially but the two others had been acting recklessly repeatedly so he would not be sorry to spare them no mercy!

It was an undeniable truth that there had been the least amount of damage on this route with the father and son of the Ni family. Seven out of the 10 teams survived.

Also, they did not see any teams from the other routes on the way up the mountain, which further convinced the father and son of the Ni family that they won!

It was already dusk when they were partway near the meeting point at the entrance of the tomb and someone shouted out with surprise, "Everyone! Look! A red flag! Someone reached!"

"Who could be so fast?" The exorcists looked at each other in confusion.

Ni Hu was acting extremely arrogant. "Who else? That must be my elder sister. All of you must have never seen my elder sister before, you can finally meet her later on."
