Venerated Venomous Consort
chapter-2394

“After coming to the poisonous swamp, I only had one thought in my mind. With your skills, you can’t come to this swamp to catch the crocodile alone, so there must be someone mighty helping you. Are you willing to admit that it is Yun Yanli?”

“Yes! He and his subordinates helped me.” Yun Qingluo’s eyes flashed as she finally admitted the truth.

Di Fuyi merely smirked. “You came to the Shura World a hundred years earlier than Yun Yanli. Before he came, you must have been practicing dark sorcery here. However, you never disclosed your true appearance and only stayed behind the scenes. If I were to guess correctly, the sorcery that Yun Yanli used to consume spiritual power from the people in the Shura World was taught to him by you, right?”

Yun Qingluo remained silent, but her eyes could not hide her fear. He knew that he was right! There must be someone behind Yun Qingluo, but that person was even more deeply hidden than her. Di Fuyi did not manage to find out anything about that person yet.

“You… Since you have already noticed this deception, then… Why did you dare to take the crocodile’s heart and let Gu Xijiu use it? You… Are you not afraid that the heart is poisonous?” Yun Qingluo questioned.

Di Fuyi faintly replied, “If I was not confident that it is safe, do you think I would give it to her? Perhaps you are not aware that I used to study about poisons. I know that certain poisons are connected to their creator. I was not quite sure whether this was true of the crocodile until you attracted it with blood from your heart. The crocodile possessed the characteristics that I expected it to have, and I knew from then on that its heart was indeed the solution. However, what you failed to mention was that I needed to force out of a bug in its heart before it can be used to cure Gu Xijiu, and the bug is closely connected with the little demon that you created.”

Di Fuyi continued, “When I saw that you were using the little demon to manipulate the crocodile during the battle, I knew that I could use the array to drive out the bug in its heart, and now it is ready to be used as an antidote.”

Yun Qingluo’s face looked more ashen than before. She knew the strength of the Silver Ring Crocodile and did not expect things to end this way. Before entering the swamp, she was convinced that even if it was drawn out, they could not deal with it. In the past, Yun Yanli wanted to use this crocodile to threaten her. He personally brought over a hundred top masters to catch it. In the end, he was the only one to return.

Yun Yanli had already cultivated to the level of a Mighty Immortal at that time, and his subordinates had also reached the level of a Golden Immortal. They were all defeated by the crocodile, so she believed that Di Fuyi and his small team would not stand a chance.

Di Fuyi was only at the level of a Golden Immortal, and Zhu Duqing possessed a similar level of spiritual power to Di Fuyi. Furthermore, Gu Xijiu could not use her spiritual power at the moment since she was trying to suppress the poison. Meanwhile, the two guards from the Devil Palace had barely reached the level of a Golden Immortal. Based on her estimations, she thought that they would not even stand a chance. It was absolutely beyond her expectations that he would be able to beat the crocodile.

Even if Di Fuyi defeated the crocodile, Yun Qingluo would merely suffer a temporary setback. However, seeing him treat Gu Xijiu so well right in front of her had made her blood boil with jealousy. In fact, she could not wait to die together with Gu Xijiu. Therefore, when she saw that the crocodile was going to be defeated, she made up her mind to use the little demon’s heart to manipulate the crocodile. That was when she entered into the trap set by Di Fuyi.

In fact, when she closed her eyes, she seemed to be in a state of meditation. But, she was actually secretly manipulating the little demon’s heart to empower the crocodile. Di Fuyi needed this to happen so that the bug in the crocodile’s heart could be drawn out. Therefore, Di Fuyi was always so concerned about her safety.
