Venerated Venomous Consort

Kun Xueyi could only let go of his prized weapon for fear that he might get sucked in as well. He could not help but turn to look at Di Fuyi for a solution. “Master!” He was asking for help.

Di Fuyi had already re-established the wizardry barrier around the people. When he saw Yun Yanli being dragged by the two skeletons, he pinched his finger wanted to do something, but he opted not to continue.

Many people looked at Di Fuyi, knowing that he was the only one who could save Yun Yanli. The young palace master, who was also trapped inside the wizardry barrier, kneeled on the ground and kowtowed to Di Fuyi to him to save her master.

Gu Xijiu was also concerned for the man, but she did not urge Di Fuyi to do anything. She mere clenched her fists beside him.

Di Fuyi took her hand and found that her fingertips were a little cold. He slightly stunned and said, “Don’t be afraid!”

Gu Xijiu nodded. “Rest assured, I am not afraid. I believe in you.” She believed that Di Fuyi must have his reason to do so. He did not need to explain anything to her. Di Fuyi was quietly relieved and patted her little hand.

Di Fuyi was also staring at Yun Yanli. The spell on his fingertips had been ready but was not cast yet. Meanwhile, the skeletons that had originally wanted to tear Yun Yanli into two halves seemed to have changed their minds.

Yun Yanli, on the other hand, trembled in fear. He wanted to break free but decided against it.

“Father! Mother!” Yun Yanli did not care about the vines on his body. Instead, he rushed to the two dead bodies and hugged one of the legs of the skeletons. “Who? Who did this to you? Who is the culprit!?”

The bright red lights on the two dead bodies seemed to have dimmed for a moment. However, the vines on Yun Yanli had coiled themselves around his neck and waist. The mouths of the vines were wide open and ready to bite, but somehow it was hesitating.

Everyone held their breath as they watched everything unfold. Not a single sound was made out of fear that they would distract the two murderous corpses.

“Woahh… Ahhh…” The two dead bodies suddenly screamed shrilly, and the eight beasts followed suit. Apparently, the eight beasts were controlled by the two corpses. Perhaps, even connected to them.

The eight beasts were formed by blood, which indicated that they had already died, but their souls were imprisoned in the blood. As for these two withered corpses, they seemed to be very old. The cold ironed chains on their bodies were rusty. It usually took more than hundreds of years for a cold iron to rust!

Yun Yanli seemed to understand something from observing all these closely. He suddenly looked up at the man in black standing in the fog and angrily shouted, “It’s you! You caused them to be like this! What did they ever do to you? Why would you want to treat them this way?”

The man in black sighed. “Stupid kid! All the credit goes to you! Did you not know that every time you practiced your black magic, you were hurting them more and more?”

Yun Yanli’s face was ashen as he clenched his fists in his sleeve. “What…? What?”

“Good boy. Being so intelligent, you should understand what I am saying. Whenever you practiced, you were sucking the soul of your parents. In a way, they were indirectly passing their skills to you. The only difference was that it was an excruciating process for them.”
