Chapter 672: What Goes Around, Comes Around

“Sensing the spiritual aura within the Alsatian, he brought it back with him. However, his cultivation did not improve even after he kept the Alsatian with him for a year. Thinking that the Alsatian was not much of a help to him, he felt as if he had been raising a piece of trash. He failed to curb his temper and often took it out on the Alsatian. The torture only ended when the Alsatian finally died from all the abuses.”

The crowd turned to glare at Xuan Bing after the reaper finished its words.

He’s so cruel! How could he torture the Alsatian, that saved his life, to death?

Xuan Bing was scared out of his wits. “No, that is not true. Don’t believe Helian Wei Wei’s statement. I only killed the ungrateful Alsatian by accident after it tried to bite me despite everything I had done for it. I grieved his death for a very long time and my brothers are my witnesses!”

“Even the rabbits will bite if they are backed into a corner, let alone an Alsatian that was tortured daily.” Helian Wei Wei let out a chilling laugh as she continued, “Those were the words of the reaper, not mine. You are an exorcist yourself. You should know that reapers are all-knowing when it comes to the life events of a mortal. You should also know that they never lie. They know about the incidents better than your brothers.”

“The Third Princess Consort is right. The reapers will never be deceived.” Even though these men were not the people of the War Dragon Empire, but being exorcists themselves, they still had conscience within them. “Seeing how things have progressed, it’s better for you to admit your wrongdoings at this moment, Brother Xuan Bing. If the matter continues to grow, it will certainly then into a commotion.”

Xuan Bing staggered backward as he ran out of arguments. His forehead was beaded with sweat as he looked expectantly at Elder Xu Wu and Zongzheng Yu Er.

Just like everyone else, Elder Xu Wu was taken aback when the reaper spoke.

Knowing that the crowd was judging them, Elder Xu Wu understood that the situation had gotten out of his hands.

Zongzheng Yu Er’s face was as pale as a sheet. She was no longer her arrogant self like before.

Xuan Bing had an urge to flee the scene after he pondered the situation.

Helian Wei Wei blocked him as he was about to leave. Her lips gently curled upward before she spoke, “Xuan Bing, the reapers have not finished their words. Do you not want to listen to the rest of their story? It’s a rare chance to listen to the reapers as they enumerate your previous life events.”

As if they were acting according to Helian Wei Wei’s command, the reaper resumed talking with its dead and monotonous voice, “Xuan Bing had committed many wrongdoings during his life. He met his end after he was bitten by an Alsatian at the age of 25 and shall be reborn as an animal.”

“I met my end after being bitten an Alsatian?” Xuan Bing shuddered after he heard the phrase. He turned to look at the Alsatian which was standing beside Helian Wei Wei. As he looked into the eerie eyes of the Alsatian, he was extremely frightened, to the extent that his breathing no longer sounded normal.

Helian Wei Wei lowered her gaze to look at him before she said, “What goes around comes around and karma is a funny thing. Go, Blackie. It’s time to avenge your death.”

Dogs were loyal.

Before Helian Wei Wei gave the order, the Alsatian quietly stood aside and did not attack in spite of its immense hatred toward Xuan Bing.

Now that Helian Wei Wei had given the green light, it unleashed its murderous rage that had been long restrained. A black silhouette flashed past before it pounced on Xuan Bing brutally!

As his bones were fractured, a cracking sound pierced through the ears of the crowd!

Xuan Bing used his forearm to shield himself before it was eventually bitten off by the Alsatian. The broken bone penetrated his flesh and skin before it was exposed in the air while his blood spilled on the floor.

Zongzheng Yu Er stood the nearest to Xuan Bing. It was predictable for a princess like her to have never witnessed such a gory scene as she began to throw up on the spot.

Xuan Bing grimaced in agony. Yet, he refused to give up. He grabbed the Alsatian’s head with his hand, which unexpectedly was holding a yellow rune at the same time.

However, he quickly realized that his yellow rune was ineffective in stopping the Alsatian. He widened his eyes in fear as the ground began to quake.

“Your.. Your Highness! Please help me!”

He was screaming for Zongzheng Wen Ren.

Helian Wei Wei was a step ahead of Zongzheng Wen Ren as she stood before the Alsatian to protect it. She spoke in a slow pace, “I wasn’t going to help Blackie to take its revenge. However, if anyone dare hurt Blackie, they will have to answer to me, Helian Wei Wei. Besides, I’d like to advise Crown Prince Wen Ren on something. Even though there are only a few exorcists in the War Dragon empire, but if we’re to engage in a physical fight, Xuan Yuan Kingdom will be no match for us!”

As soon as Helian Wei Wei finished her sentence, they were swamped by deafening applause.

The 10 martial artists behind her rose to their feet. Among them, Little Seven appeared as the most distinguished one.

He was standing on the bald head of an elderly minister, holding a black quarterstaff which was usually hidden away. He seemed arrogant and domineering.

Finally, they had reached his favorite session.

I knew this would happen.

Our master is right here.

Why are we practising exorcism when the master is the Great Demon King himself?

These people can’t even recognize him. Yet, they have the audacity to boast about their skill in exorcism.

A physical fight is better.

They will be trounched!

Hmph! They dare to pick a fight with Third Aunt. They must be tired of living!

The elderly minister, whose head was under Little Seven’s feet, was in agony. He continuously repeated himself, “Seventh Prince, please be gentle. My… my hair!”

Elder Xu Wu was undoubtedly the most cunning one among them. He grabbed ahold of Zongzheng Wen Ren as he whispered, “Crown Prince, it’s alright for us to lose this round. After all, we have won the previous round. The game will eventually end in a tie. However, if you decide to poke your nose into this matter that involves the Alsatian, we will certainly lose as they’ve outnumbered us.”

Zongzheng Wen Ren stopped in his tracks as he clenched his fists. “What about Xuan Bing? If we don’t lend a hand, his life will be threatened.”

“Your Highness, we have to sacrifice him for the greater good.” Elder Xu Wu’s tone became more serious as he added, “Once we’ve secured our victory, we can take revenge on Xuan Bing’s behalf. The next round is a team match and we will join forces. We are capable of summoning the judge from hell, let alone 10 reapers. On the other hand, Helian Wei Wei is the only exorcist in the War Dragon Empire while the others are practically hopeless. They’ll not be helpful during the match. After the third round finishes, our troops can march into the Capital and win our rights to guard the seal.” This was a mission from his master. He had to accomplish it by all means. However, his main objective was not to protect the seal but to magnify the grievance and destroy the seal as soon as possible!

The plan to magnify the grievance was put on hold due to his master’s severe injury. However, he could not give up yet. As long as the seal was removed, he would be the first rank minister to serve beside his master and would be bestowed with the supreme right of immortality.

Back then, Elder Xu Wu once experienced this amazing power. Otherwise, he would have passed away a long time ago as he was already in his eighties. His master offered him a chance to achieve eternal life. Therefore, he had to grab the opportunity and complete the plan by magnifying the grievance!
