The Anarchic Consort

“For ten years, no one has come to this place. Just as I had resigned myself to be lonely, some people have come in. Can this be fate?”

The light and crisp sound had come from the secluded valley, like a songbird in the morning reciting to the heart, the buddha sounds burst into the ears.

From the top of the cliff to the bottom of the cliff, it must have been over a thousand feet. Even if the person had very strong martial qi, there was no way he could have survived the fall, all his bones would be broken. Besides, there was just mountains on all four sides, and they were extremely dangerous. No one had ever been to the bottom of the cliff.

Who was the person in the cave?

Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows.

“Let’s go in.”

The cool voice reached her ears, it was then that Helian Wei Wei realised that her partner had awoken. His handsome face was stained with blood, underneath his black hair was the white cloth which just covered his eyes. It did not make his lose any of his charm, instead it made him look mysteriously evil.

Helian Wei Wei nodded her hand and reached. She held his arm and said gently: “Look out under your feet, there are vines.”

“Okay.” Baili Jiajue’s lips curved into a slight smile. When he stepped forward, he tried using his martial qi and his smile widened.

In order to get through the entrance to the cave, they had to bend at their waists. When they stood close together, Helian Wei Wei felt like she was being embraced by the person behind her. In particular when she felt his breath on her neck and it made her subconsciously shrink her neck down.

She was not sure if it was because he could not see, but when his hands stretched out from behind, it grazed across her bosom….

Helian Wei Wei felt embarrassed to mention it and adjusted her posture slightly instead. She took his hand and bypassed the surrounding vines. She pulled the weeds away and saw an old man dressed in rags. He was sat in the middle of the cave with his head drooping down. If it hadn’t been him who spoke earlier, he could have easily been mistaken as a corpse. His white hair had grown to his waist and covered his eyes: “So there are two people?”

Helian Wei Wei did not ask him how he knew there were two people. After all, to have lived in this place for so many years and not died, there something bizarre about him.

“Why aren’t you speaking?” The old man turned his head, his white hair fluttered.

Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrow: “Just fell down, still adapting.”

The old man stopped and smiled suddenly: “This is the first time old monk has met such and open-minded person. Young girl, one of you is injured. The smell of blood is strong.”

Helian Wei Wei looked at Baili Jiajue’s arm: ” No, just a mild injury.”

She had learnt to speak half the truth when she was away from home.

The old man took no notice and said: “Young girl, I would like you to help me old monk.”

Baili Jiajue frowned but did not speak.

Helian Wei Wei smiled: “That depends on what help you want.”

The old man’s laugh was profound: ” Young girl, you are really interesting. Since you feel that old monk is dangerous and won’t help me, why the pretense to see what help I need?”

“When you’re with people, it is right to vigilant to protect yourself. But if you can help then you should do what you can to help.” Helian Wei Wei replied matter of factly her way of doing things.

The old man was amazed at Helian Wei Wei’s wisdom, different to his first impression, his eyes showed a glimpse of appreciation: ” If it is you, then you will take old monk’s message outside.”

“Message? What message?” Helian Wei Wei’s brows furrowed: ” Master, what you want is for me to deliver a message out? But the problem is we are in some difficulty ourselves, whether we are able to leave is another matter.”

The old man smiled: “The Fox Valley will open the exit once a month, only for a short time, one hour. The entrance is set to the cycle of nine deaths and one life. According to the technique of Fu Xi, out of the nine paths, only leads to the valley. Since you can come in, I believe that you have the ability to go out.”

Helian Wei Wei …..

“We just happened to fall in.”

The old man shook his head: “It was not a coincidence, it is Heaven’s will. When old monk fell into this cave, I used my remaining spiritual powers to make one last prophecy. It said that people with fate will enter this cave. Year after year, and ten years have passed by, I thought that I was going to take this secret to the grave with me until the two of you appeared.”

Helian Wei Wei did not believe this, but she had to find a way to go out. After some thought: “If I can go out, I will deliver the message from Master.”

“The two of you will definitely be able to leave.” The old man seemed very confident. Finally, he said: “Ten years ago, I made a mistake.”

Helian Wei Wei listened quietly and did not speak anymore.

The old man’s voice was deep and heavy, and his breath was mysterious: “I didn’t listen to my brother’s warnings and entered into world and predicted a prophecy in that a Phoenix girl will take over the world. What I didn’t expect was that this prophecy would leave me in a dilemma.”

Phoenix girl? Helian Wei Wei had a feeling that when she heard this secret she would learn there was a secret feud behind it all.

Sure enough, the old man continued: “After that day, the elders who shouldn’t have asked more found me. They wanted me to tell them who the Phoenix girl was. If I didn’t tell them, they would capture all the girls in that age range and kill them all.”

“Elders? The big four family elders?” Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows: ” Are they not supposed to be guarding the Dragon Empire?” That was what her memory said.

Baili Jiajue’s thin lips curved into a smirk as he hid in the shadows.

The old man had a hard voice: ” That was just what it looked like on the surface. If old monk had not experienced that with them, I wouldn’t have know they were this sort of people. I didn’t expect them to be so ruthless. For three days and three nights I said nothing. But in those three days and three nights they killed more than thirty girls. Those poor girls. I had no choice but to tell them that I will predict again. ”

“This time Master found the Phoenix girl?” Helian Wei Wei felt that this matter was more complicated.

The old man paused: “I did find out, but I encountered some problems. It was not appropriate for the four elders to be in contact with old monk, so they sent someone else.”

“Who?” Helian Wei Wei had a feeling that the next part was the key!
