Venerated Venomous Consort

Sui Ye City was very near to the Black Desert, which was the territory of the Devil Kingdom in the Shura World. During her journey, Gu Xijiu learned that the Devil Kingdom in the Shura World was homegrown. The Devil Kingdom was mighty and once occupied two-thirds of the Shura World.

Later, there was a mysterious immortal who appeared in the Shura World. This immortal led the human race to fight against the Devil Kingdom for ten years. Finally, the Devil Kingdom retreated, and in the end, only the Black Desert belonged to the Devil Kingdom.

The human race had finally been able to prosper. Not only did they defeat the Devil Kingdom, but they also managed to practice their spiritual power and develop it. Initially, the human race had its own methods of cultivation, but because of the war, the vast majority of the human race had practiced the same skill of the mysterious immortal. In particular, their method of training their spiritual power came from the mysterious immortal.

This immortal was very secretive. He rarely showed up in front of people. On the rare occasion when he did appear, he would be in a black robe with a mask on his face. Therefore, no one had actually seen his real face before. Everyone just respected him as the ‘Immortal of Shura’ and treated him as the patron saint of the Shura World.

After more than 20 years of peaceful life, the spiritual power of the Shura World disappeared overnight. The fierce beasts became enraged, and the bloody rain poured out every ten days here. It made the human race in the Shura World almost completely demolished. Fortunately, during the critical period, the Immortal of Shura, who had been quiet for more than 20 years, had once again appeared. He used his excellent skill to build the nine great cities and saved the life of the survivors. Besides, he also looked for nine special spiritual power practitioners to be the city owners. It was said that these special ritual power practitioners could strengthen the wizardry barrier on the cities. If these people went missing without a proper successor, the city would be destroyed by the blood rain.

Everyone thought that the Devil Kingdom created this disaster. However, during these years, the Devil Kingdom had never even made a move; they kept an extremely low profile. Despite these odd challenges, the human race had never weakened their defense; instead, they got even stronger. The lingering fear that the Devil Kingdom was plotting against them kept them vigilant and at their best.

There were spiritual power practitioners who wanted to take the initiative to attack the Devil Kingdom. They sent spies into the Devil Kingdom to gather information. However, none of the spies came back alive. Later, they sent it masters to analyze the situation. Fortunately, some escaped by luck and reported that it was not a suitable place for humans to enter. There was a devil fire everywhere which would burn any human into ashes.

After this, the humans gave up the idea of destroying the Devil Kingdom; after all, the two races had not offended each other. Hence, everyone had stayed safe and sound. There were many different versions of stories to explain why the devil race had never taken any opportunity to attack the human race. The most reasonable explanation was that the disputes within the Devil Kingdom had been quite intense in these years, so they had no time to care about the outside world.

“Xijiu, why do you think the devil race has never sought revenge?” In the room, Yun Yanli casually asked Gu Xijiu.

Gu Xijiu said calmly, “I have not been to the Shura Devil Kingdom, so I have no comment.”

Yun Yanli remained silent. He could not continue the topic anymore. In the year when he stayed by her side, although her abilities were not fully restored, her character was getting more similar to the time when she was in the Upper Bound. She did not care about anything, she did not like to talk, and she was always cold and calm.

Yun Yanli stared at her while she was sipping the wine in her glass. He noticed that her skin had returned to its original state. It was no longer wheat-colored and dry. Her eyelashes were thick with long with curls. They were stunning features.
