The Evil Consort Above An Evil King Novel

“The spiritual stones have been stolen!”

“Oh my god!”

“All the class-one and class-two spiritual stones are gone!”

“We have to report it to our master immediately!”

“Unbelievable! Who could have possibly been here?”

“Search the place! Quickly! We need to see what else is lost.”

“Oh, no! The Devil Resistant Fire Clothing and the Yin Yang Mirror are both gone!”

Soon, the entire governor’s residence was alarmed by the theft. Yun Yanli stood in the middle of the room. His face turned ghastly pale under the mask. After a thorough investigation, he was sure that all his class-one and class-two spiritual stones were gone. Also, at least 3,000 pieces of class-three spiritual stones were stolen, too.

These spiritual stones were his property, which was accumulated over a hundred years. Almost all of his possessions were stolen at once. Who could it be? He released the Bloody Butterfly to capture the scent, but there was no sign of any intruder, only the scent of his men.

Could it be that his men stole what was entrusted to their care? Disdainfully, he looked at the governor of Suiye City, who was now trembling on the ground. “What do you have to say? Your women have made it clear that it was you who came in here last,” he interrogated with an icy tone that was intimidating.

The governor kept knocking his head on the ground and crying out for justice. Firmly, he claimed that he was not the thief and that someone else must have fabricated the charge against him.

Yun Yanli gave him a scornful smile and mocked him, “This place is only accessible using your concubine’s Blood Pearl. If they were not sure that it was you, why would they open the door to an outsider? You claimed to have a special way of communicating with them, so when there was any thief who took your form, they would be able to tell them apart, didn’t you? Even my entrance requires your guidance. How was it possible that others could come in freely?”

Fearing for his life, the governor broke out in cold sweat. His voice trembled with fear as he said, “Master, I… I will investigate the matter thoroughly! Perhaps… Perhaps someone smart has managed to figure out the secret signs used between my women and me.”

He was sure that the signs were unique. Their way of communication was through a series of flirtation, which was impossible to be discovered by any onlooker. How could the thief figure out the sequence so quickly?

A sudden idea occurred to Yun Yanli. Quickly, he released the Bloody Butterfly to locate Gu Xijiu’s beast. Soon, the Bloody Butterfly returned. It was clear that Gu Xijiu and her ride, the Clouded Leopard King, were already more than 800 miles away from their location. They were supposedly heading towards Luo Hua City.

Gu Xijiu always traveled on the Clouded Leopard Beast. Over the past year, they had never been separated from one another. Even when they had to part ways, it would be for more than two hours. She always claimed that the Clouded Leopard King was her favorite. She could easily abandon anyone, but not the beast.

Under the current circumstance, she would not let the Clouded Leopard King return to Luo Hua City alone. After all, there was no reason for her to do that. Also, why would she steal the spiritual crystals? She probably did not even though about their presence here.

Perhaps the people from the Shura Devil Kingdom must have conducted the theft. Nonetheless, no matter who the thief was, the governor of Suiye City could not get away from his responsibility for the entire incident.

Yun Yanli gave the governor a firm look in the eye.

“Someone!” He called out loud. Then, he continued with a gentle tone to convey a firm message, “Take him out and punish him hard with 300 strikes of the Spiritual Wind Whip, but keep him alive so that he can retrieve all the spiritual stones for me!”

The entire residence turned into a mess. Many armed men were sent to find the possible thief. Every guest inn, every restaurant, and every house was searched thoroughly. All of a sudden, the entire Suiye City went into a state of panic.

It was already midnight when the search began. Most of the citizens were already asleep when the armed soldiers broke into the houses. They stared at the armed forces helplessly, not knowing what had happened.

Gu Xijiu did not stay in any guest inn but also had not left the city yet. At this moment, she sat high up on a tree and watched as the entire search frenzy unfolded before her eyes. Every available armed force was organized into teams.
