Venerated Venomous Consort

Yun Yanli was rather unfortunate for having to deal with this quick-witted couple. Kun Xueyi truly sympathized a little with Yun Yanli’s misfortune.

Gu Xijiu was looking at Kun Xueyi fixedly. She asked, “Based on your current position, shouldn’t you be trapped in an illusion? Do you know how to get yourself out?”

Kun Xueyi shook his head and answered proudly, “I was born to be an expert in solving array formations. Also, not many array formations can keep a Kun grounded.” Thus, he could walk away from the stone formation easily.

When did a Kun possess such a hidden talent? With a sigh, Gu Xijiu was relieved that the Kun was on her side and not with Yun Yanli. Otherwise, she would not even stand a chance. Quickly, she studied Kun Xueyi’s body carefully. “How bad is your injury? Can you fly?”

“I am still fine. I can fly if I try. Are we going to meet up with the Devil King right away?”

Gu Xijiu examined his pulse and realized that he was suffering from some form of internal injury. She offered him a few pills. “Take these pills and meditate for an hour. Your internal injury should be able to heal a little. I will tell you more when you recover.”

Kun Xueyi did not go against her wishes. He consumed the pills at once and started meditating. Gu Xijiu decided to follow him and meditated too. She needed to make sure that she was ready for the next battle.

An hour later, Kun Xueyi opened his eyes and noticed that his injury had indeed healed a little. He felt ready to fly. Kun Xueyi thought that Gu Xijiu would take him to meet with Di Fuyi right away. Instead, she asked him to take her to Fengping City to have a look.

Kun Xueyi was now wondering if Di Fuyi was really hiding somewhere in Fengping City. Gu Xijiu noticed his skepticism and explained with a sigh, “Yun Yanli is a prudent man, so we should keep the show going to prevent him from getting suspicious. Also, I do have some matters to attend to in Fengping City.”

Without wasting any time, Kun Xueyi transformed into a giant bird and soared into the sky. Fengping City was about five thousand miles away. Even in the form of a bird, Kun Xueyi would still need two hours to get there.

As soon as they left, a man emerged from the bushes. The man watched as the giant bird flew away and reported, “Master, both of them have just left. From the direction that they traveled, I believe that they are heading towards Fengping City.”

On the other side of the call, Yun Yanli slowly kept away his directed audio spell as soon as he received the news. Utterly convinced, he began to travel as fast as he could. He did not turn around to catch Gu Xijiu and Kun Xueyi, for one of them could fly with great speed, and the other could teleport. It would be futile to chase after them. He should focus on Di Fuyi instead. Yun Yanli thought that Di Fuyi would be an easy target, so he activated his tracking spell.

Upon arriving at Fengping City, his tracking spell had clearly shown no results of Di Fuyi. Determined, he continued to search every corner of the city painstakingly. Just when he thought that it must have been another one of Gu Xijiu’s tricks, he suddenly caught a tiny trace of Di Fuyi’s scent. He quickly traced the scent but found a donkey instead. Needless to say, Di Fuyi must be playing a game with him, too, in order to mislead him.

Enraged, Yun Yanli immediately burst into anger. However, his search was not entirely in vain, as he knew that Di Fuyi could not be too far away. Therefore, he continued searching through the entire place tirelessly. After a long day, he had not found Di Fuyi but did encounter a tiger, a wolf, an eagle, and a leopard.
