2574 The Culprit Behind The Scenes 5 (1/2)
Gu Xijiu frowned at the sight of his blood as she thought that Yun Yanli's blood was venomous. However, she was not very certain. Perhaps, his blood was a different color because he had practiced with black magic?
Furthermore, he had obviously fought with a vast number of ferocious beasts here in the Shura World in order to consume their spiritual stones. It could be that he had accumulated a lot of poison in his blood.
The strange thing that Gu Xijiu had also noticed was that the color of his blood seemed to be getting darker; it also appeared to get thicker over time. Was that a sign that he might die after completing the task set to him by Di Fuyi?
She glimpsed at Di Fuyi, who was standing by her side with one of his hands holding her hand while the other was holding a flute. He was pondering something as he fixed his gaze lazily on Yun Yanli.
Upon realizing that Gu Xijiu was glancing his way, he gripped her hand a little tighter and asked, ”Do you think that I am making him suffer unnecessarily?”
Gu Xijiu was always straightforward when she communicated with him. ”Indeed, I had thought that you were intentionally making him suffer. But, I no longer think you are since you asked me this way.”
Di Fuyi smiled. ”Smart girl! Anyway, not everyone is as smart as you; I am sure they think that I am taking revenge on him.”
It was true! The crowd was looking at Di Fuyi resentfully. They did not agree with what he had put Yun Yanli up to! Moreover, many of the people watching used to be Yun Yanli's subordinates. Hence, the person was not a stranger to them.
”Are you saving his life?” Gu Xijiu seemed to have understood something. ”It seems as though he has been cultivating with black magic for too long, and his blood is now full of poisons. Is this a way to somehow purify him?!”
Di Fuyi held her waist and continued in a softer tone, ”I am taking revenge.”
Gu Xijiu remained silent at that remark.
Di Fuyi then added with an evil tone, ”Of course, I spared his life because of the last bit of humanity he seems to have in his body.” The venoms in the Eight Great Beasts were extremely potent; perhaps anyone in the crowd would die if they came into contact with it. Fortunately, Yun Yanli's high level of dark power could neutralize the venoms of these creatures and also reduce the amount of dark energy in his body. It was like 'fighting evil with evil.'
If everything went according to plan, Yun Yanli would possibly return to normal once he completes the assigned task. However, all of this was simply Di Fuyi's hypothesis. In a way, he treated Yun Yanli as a lab rat for his experiment.
Yun Yanli was the person responsible for the Eight Great Beasts, so his blood had an effect on them. Di Fuyi had predicted that it could release the grievance in the beasts when his blood was added into the big burning furnace, which contained the blood of the Eight Great Beasts. That was the key to break this array.
Nonetheless, he didn't need to tear his arm off to achieve this goal. Simply poking his fingers to get the blood out was sufficient. But Di Fuyi simply could not let him off the hook so easily. After all, he was never a kind-hearted person!
