Chapter 2237: Chapter 740: Sea of Stars Underworld Plots (Part 3)
Si Guihua, that is the name of the Six Paths Demon Consort!
Not only did this woman have a longstanding grudge against her in her youth, but due to matters involving the Six Path Demon Lord, she has been continually targeting her Goddess Palace.
Shen Jianjia inquired of her sister, curious as to why she had clashed with the Six Paths Demon Consort.
“I was searching around Black Reef Island for the whereabouts of the Kunpeng Egg, and who knew I’d run into Si Guihua, that wretch…”
Though Shen Baishuang’s face was pale, her voice was full of vigor as she spoke coldly.
Shen Jianjia knew her sister’s temper well, fiery and straightforward.
The Goddess Palace and Six Paths Palace have always been at odds, and likely her sister encountered the Six Paths Demon Consort and actively provoked her.
Otherwise, if the Six Paths Demon Consort truly tore her face and attacked with full force, her sister’s injuries would be even worse now.
Moreover, all major forces are focused on the Kunpeng Egg, unlikely to act rashly.
But the matter of the Star Pirates’ attack with two Nascent Souls made her wonder whether it was coincidence or premeditated…
“Rest assured, if I encounter Si Guihua in the future, I’ll make her pay the price.”
Even if she guessed her sister might have incited the matter, Shen Jianjia still chose to protect her.
Or rather, Shen Baishuang had been molded into such a personality, not without relation to her as an elder sister.
“Little Frost, any news on the Kunpeng Egg’s whereabouts?”
Shen Jianjia asked her sister.
For such an opportunity as the Kunpeng Egg, her Goddess Palace naturally desired it.
If anyone were to obtain this Kunpeng Egg, and nurture it well, it could become a Sect Guardian Beast in the future!
“No specific whereabouts yet, but given the current situation, based on space fluctuations and qi mechanism calculations, it’s highly likely around Black Reef Island.”
When the Kunpeng Egg emerged, the Secret Realm collapsed, and Nascent Soul True Lords present exerted various means to capture and search for the Kunpeng Egg’s whereabouts.
Although the Kunpeng Egg’s Heavenly Secrets were isolated, making predictions impossible.
They performed divination calculations based on formation patterns, space fluctuations, the Kunpeng Egg’s aura, and so on, delineating multiple potential areas for the Kunpeng Egg.
Then, through the simplest and most direct method, they searched and scoured these area ranges.
Though no whereabouts of the Kunpeng Egg have been found, this range has been continuously narrowing.
“Black Reef Island…”
Shen Jianjia nodded lightly, pondering, then inquired about her sister’s injuries.
“Sister, rest assured, I’m not in serious trouble, just need some days to rest.”
Shen Baishuang knew what her sister worried about and spoke up.
Shen Jianjia grasped her wrist, checked her sister’s injuries, then recounted events related to the Star Pirates days before.
“Those Star Pirates again!”
Shen Baishuang took a deep breath, her expression cold, her chest enveloped tightly in a red dress, protruding as if about to burst, revealing a hint of smooth, white skin.
“Sister, do you suspect this is the doing of Six Paths Palace?”
Shen Baishuang, as the Second Palace Master of the Goddess Palace, naturally knew the intricate relationships between the Star Pirates and major Star Sea forces.
The Six Path Demon Lord’s Six Paths Palace is quite possibly the hidden mastermind behind the Star Pirates.
“It’s quite possible. The Six Path Demon Lord has long shown ambitions to unify the Starry Sky Sea, and over the years, the Star Pirates have been stirring trouble, provoking major forces, possibly as a test…”
Shen Jianjia spoke softly, the plum blossom mark at the center of her brow glowing with crystalline light.
“This matter with Penglai Immortal City might be his test of me, and the attack on you might be to draw me over after testing.”
Shen Jianjia explained.
Though the Six Path Demon Lord pursued her in his youth, it’s precisely for this reason that she deeply understands him.
Knowing him as someone who will stop at nothing for cultivation.
He bears no genuine affection towards her, and due to knowing some of her secrets, even harbors intentions to eliminate her, to refine her into a Furnace.
“Sister, in recent years while searching for the Kunpeng Egg, I’ve also encountered several Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators who don’t belong to this side of the Starry Sky Sea…”
Shen Baishuang’s expression turned solemn as she spoke.
Though the Starry Sky Sea has no formal division between right and demon, cultivation technique circumstances can still split into factions.
These Demon Cultivators who came might have some connection with the Six Path Demon Lord.
“Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators not belonging to the Starry Sky Sea…”
Shen Jianjia’s beautiful eyes glowed with a blue crystal hue, thinking of the Goddess Palace’s Honorary Elder, Xuanmu Taoist.
This person may not harbor ill intentions toward the Goddess Palace.
But based on her observations, he definitely conceals himself, though his methods are extremely skillful.
Yet he saved her disciple, Qin Yunning, and considering her sister Shen Yiren’s sentiments, since the latter bears no ill will towards the Goddess Palace, she wasn’t overly harsh.
However, given the current situation in the Starry Sky Sea, and the opponent’s Fourth Rank Puppet, she regards and pays more attention to this Xuanmu Elder.
Even if he travels out now, she must consider this Xuanmu Elder.
After all, should this person have sinister motives and suddenly wreak havoc in the Goddess Palace, the losses would be severe if she’s absent.
“Little Frost, some years ago, a new guest elder joined the Goddess Palace, named Xuanmu Taoist. Keep an eye on and test him later.”
Shen Jianjia said to her sister.
The Starry Sky Sea knows well the character of the Goddess Palace’s Second Palace Master Shen Baishuang: fiery, domineering, acting as she pleases, paying no heed to others’ opinions.
This personality has its pros and cons.
For instance, tasks the Great Palace Master finds inconvenient to undertake can be entrusted to Shen Baishuang.
Even if bungled or ruined, she still has her elder sister to back her and make amends.
