Venerated Venomous Consort

Yun Yanli’s subordinates did not possess the same tracking abilities that he did. They certainly could not track the breaths of each person in the city, so they couldn’t know that the guards in residence had been replaced.

When the young palace master, Ming Die, received the instructions from Yun Yanli to search his house, Gu Xijiu and the gang had already familiarized themselves with the place. Fortunately for her, she had met the young palace master before, so she could certainly recognize her. But of course, the young palace master did not recognize Gu Xijiu.

During the search, Di Fuyi’s body was expected to undergo some serious changes. However, it appeared that he had made a mistake somewhere as he turned out to be fine even after the search was over. Gu Xijiu was rather ecstatic by that fact. Upon checking his pulse, she found that he was even more powerful than before.

It crossed her mind that the Purple Cloud Mushroom’s spiritual power must have come from Di Fuyi. Perhaps all it needed was to acclimatize itself with Di Fuyi’s current spiritual energy to stabilize itself. Unfortunately, her prediction was incorrect as it was only a matter of time before Di Fuyi’s body started to undergo some changes. It seemed to stir with an unprecedented amount of force.

Fortunately for the four of them, the young palace master did not suspect anything wrong with the guards at the residence, so they were left alone. While thinking of a solution, Gu Xijiu finally recalled the key to Yun Yanli’s ability to absorb the spiritual power in the Shura World. He had used the starry array to do so.

She once looked around the starry array in Suiye City. However, the internal mechanism was too complicated, and opening the mechanism required a spiritual power above level nine. She did not reach it at the time, so she could not open it. Even though she did not manage to understand the mechanism, she certainly remembered its location.

She told Di Fuyi about the starry array, informing him that each city had its own starry array, and they were the source of power to support the wizardry barrier against the blood rain. Di Fuyi asked her about the layout and orientation of the starry array in detail. Then, he began to speculate on the possible location of the starry array in Leguo City. He predicted that the array must be in Yun Yanli’s own residence.

Gu Xijiu was somewhat puzzled by this hypothesis as the starry array in Suiye City was in a bamboo forest, somewhere in the outskirts of the city. It was even hidden inside a temple. So how could the starry array in Leguo City rest in the house of the city’s owner?

Di Fuyi was not bothered with her objection and explained the specific composition of the starry array. It turned out that the orientation of the underground starry array of each city was different, even though they were somehow arranged according to a pattern.

For example, the one in Suiye City was located at the northernmost point of the Shura World, so it was also in the northern part of the city. Meanwhile, Leguo City was in the center of the Shura World, so its starry array should be in the center of the city.

Gu Xijiu remained dubious, so Di Fuyi wanted to convince her. To verify his theory, Di Fuyi asked Guardian Jin and Guardian Hua to guard the residence. He then took Gu Xijiu into Yun Yanli’s bedroom.

Guards were usually strictly forbidden from entering into Yun Yanli’s bedroom. Besides Yun Yanli, the only person who could enter the place was the young palace master.
