Chapter 670 - Ten Reapers, A Shocking Sight!

Chapter 670: Ten Reapers, A Shocking Sight!

Summoning the reapers is certainly a risky task. If the Third Princess Consort is not capable of doing it, wouldn’t it be better to have someone else to do it on behalf of her? Otherwise, she might get hurt,
Zongzheng Yu Er said, pretending to be kind. In reality, her rhetorical words were meant to make the two old ministers from the War Dragon Dynasty to lose faith in Helian Wei Wei.
Most of the crowd got increasingly doubtful, fretful or scornful of Helian Wei Wei as time went on. It was especially so for the exorcists, as not a single one of them believed that she would succeed.
Helian Wei Wei did not move a muscle. She stood lazily in the center of the formation. Her hooded fur cape, which draped over her shoulder, fluttered gracefully in the wind as she stood in the Great Hall. She appeared relaxed even though she was not holding on to any yellow rune in her hands. She continued to stand still, apparently indifferent toward her surroundings.

She can’t possibly summon any reaper in such posture.
Xuan Bing sneered.
She’s indeed a greenhorn. Does she really think of exorcism as child’s play?

Zongzheng Yu Er heaved a sigh before she made a purposeful remark,
The Third Princess Consort is always so competitive. She is determined to win even if the subject is not her forte.

At this moment, the ministers of the War Dragon Empire had already despaired although they had never looked forward to Helian Wei Wei being the victor.


In spite of that, they did not want their nation to be trounced either.
Judging from the princess consort’s posture, they reckoned that no reaper would appear at all.
They were taken aback when a gust of black wind suddenly rushed into the Great Hall from the outside. Then, it quickly dispersed and filled the entire hall like a fog.
Helian Wei Wei clenched one of her hands into a fist. Then, she steered her spiritual energy, causing it rushed toward her palm!

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. At my command, rise!

The invisible energy quickly rose from the ground upon the recitation of the spell, lifting Helian Wei Wei’s cape and bringing her dark long hair to dance elegantly along the wind. At this moment, she appeared extremely dashing and enchanting.
The crowd widened their eyes upon witnessing the inconceivable event that had just occurred right in front of them. The air was no longer just cool. Instead, the temperature was now freezing as ice began to form at the edges of the walls.
When all eyes landed on Helian Wei Wei once again, there were 10 reapers, who were in their black robes, standing before her, with their heads hung low. Although their faces were not visible, they seemed to be respectful toward Helian Wei Wei!
Apart from the ministers, even the exorcists were astonished by the scene. Stupefied by shock, their eyes lost focus.

10? She actually summoned 10 reapers?




How did she do it? She evidently didn’t have any yellow runes in her hand, right?


Everybody, look at the reapers. What… what are they doing?

The young man mumbled to himself,
They’re paying respect! They are paying respect to the princess consort!


That is impossible!
the exorcist from Huangzi Nation immediately disagreed. He did not have any prejudice against Helian Wei Wei. However, it was a fact that the reapers would only bow to the top-tier exorcists! Otherwise, it was impossible for such an event to happen!

This is totally bizarre!
The other exorcists joined in the conversation and voiced their opinions. But, nevertheless, they were flabbergasted by Helian Wei Wei’s performance. How did she do that?
Liu Yu and Wu Jing gaped at the scene. Before long, their shock turned into inexpressible joy.
We’ve won! We’ve won the competition! There are 10 of them! Princess consort has actually summoned 10 reapers!


The four reapers from before were nothing! Look at what our princess consort has accomplished! She’s summoned 10 of them! Can any of you do that?
The people from the Xuanyuan Kingdom had always agitated Wu Jing as they always abused their power to take advantage of the others. It serves you right!
As soon as the 10 reapers appeared, Xuan Bing’s expression changed. His initial confident face had been replaced with a straight face and pale lips.
Zongzheng Yu Er grasped her white handkerchief as she recalled her words from before.
Even Zongzheng Wen Ren did not expect that Helian Wei Wei could summon 10 reapers!


However, at this point in time, Elder Xu Wu was not ready to admit his defeat yet.
Lord Wu, Third Princess Consort has not sent the reapers away and it is still too early to conclude the result of the competition. Let’s focus on the ending instead. It has been a while and the reapers are still around. I suppose that the Third Princess Consort may not be as relaxed as she seemed.

Upon hearing Elder Xu Wu’s words, the young man’s heart began to sink.
The longer reapers remain in the human world, the more likely it is for accidents to happen. I am worried that the princess consort is unable to send so many reapers back to the Path of Yin and Yang in one go.

This theory might sound foreign to a layman, but it was nothing new to the exorcists. Everyone took a step back when they realized that none of the reapers had left yet.
Thinking that he had made an accurate prediction, Elder Xu Wu stroked his white beard as he heaved a long sigh.
The princess is right. The Third Princess Consort is always very competitive. If she fails to send these reapers back in time, even if the Crown Prince and I join forces, we may not be able to rescue her from so many reapers.


She probably doesn’t have sufficient spiritual energy to send 10 reapers away,
Zongzheng Wen Ren added nonchalantly.
His confidence had severely perturbed the people of the War Dragon Dynasty.
If the reapers were not dismissed in time, the Third Princess Consort would be in danger!
However, at this moment, they were overwhelmed by an unprecedented sight again.
Helian Wei Wei appeared to be mumbling a few inaudible words under her breath, and immediately, six of the reapers within the circle were sent away, leaving four of them standing within the fog.
Then, Helian Wei Wei approached the messengers from the Xuanyuan Dynasty, leading the four reapers. The darkness that was following behind her seemed to be ready to devour everything.



What are you doing?
The initially eloquent Elder Xu Wu stopped her in her tracks as he stared at her intently.
Helian Wei Wei replied in a deep and menacing tone,
Elder Xu Wu, this has nothing to do with you. I suggest you to step aside.


Third Princess Consort, you are taking four reapers with you. Are you really going to negotiate with our Xuanyuan Kingdom in such a manner?
Elder Xu Wu intended to use the same old approach that he had been using to deal with others in the imperial court.
Helian Wei Wei sneered.
I have no interest in getting involved in Xuanyuan Kingdom’s affair. Before this, your exorcist failed to summon reapers and chose to put the blame on the Alsatian. Coincidentally, the four reapers are present now. We can now watch as they settle their unfinished business.
After she finished her words, Helian Wei Wei threw a glance at Xuan Bing before she ordered,
You can take him away.

The audience were dumbstruck when they realized that the four reapers were obeying Helian Wei Wei as they charged toward Xuan Bing.
Elder Xu Wu quickly blocked her with his arm.
Third Princess Consort, please don’t cross the line! Xuan Bing hasn’t done anything wrong. Why are you ordering the reapers to take him away? Do you want to kill him?


Has he really not done anything?
Helian Wei Wei chuckled before she continued with a low voice,
Blackie, show yourself.

A fog appeared amidst the darkness. Standing within the fog was the Alsatian that was glaring at Xuan Bing. The resentment in its eyes terrified everyone who was present.
Xuan Bing staggered backward and almost fell onto the wooden chair behind him.
