Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 2034: 537: Sea of Stars Underworld Plots (part 3)

Si Guihua—that's the identity of the infamous Six Paths Demon Consort!

This woman not only harbored a deep grudge against her from their youth, but also, because of issues tied to the Six Path Demon Lord, kept harassing her Goddess Palace relentlessly.

Shen Jianjia questioned her sister, wondering why she had confronted the Six Paths Demon Consort.

"I was hunting for the Kunpeng Egg's location near Black Reef Island, and unexpectedly crossed paths with that vile Si Guihua..."

Despite her pale complexion, Shen Baishuang's tone brimmed with energy as she uttered coldly.

Shen Jianjia understood her sister's temperament perfectly—hot-tempered and direct.

The Goddess Palace and Six Paths Palace had long been bitter rivals, so probably her sister had bumped into the Six Paths Demon Consort and deliberately stirred trouble.

If the Six Paths Demon Consort had really gone all out in fury, her sister's wounds would have been far graver at this moment.

Besides, with every great power fixated on the Kunpeng Egg, none would dare move carelessly.

"Don't worry, should I meet Si Guihua again, she'll pay dearly."

Even suspecting her sister might have sparked the conflict, Shen Jianjia opted to stand by her side.

Truthfully, Shen Baishuang's bold character had been shaped partly by her role as the elder sister.

"Little Frost, have you heard any updates on where the Kunpeng Egg might be?"

Shen Jianjia queried her sister.

An treasure like the Kunpeng Egg was something her Goddess Palace coveted greatly.

Whoever claimed it and raised it properly could turn it into a mighty Sect Guardian Beast someday!

"Nothing pinpointed yet, but judging from the circumstances, calculations of space ripples and qi flows point strongly to the vicinity of Black Reef Island."

As the Kunpeng Egg appeared, the Secret Realm shattered, prompting Nascent Soul True Lords on site to deploy all sorts of techniques to track its position.

Even though the Kunpeng Egg's Heavenly Secrets were sealed off, blocking direct forecasts.

They relied on divinations from array layouts, spatial disturbances, the egg's lingering aura, and more, to mark out several probable zones.

Afterward, using the most straightforward approach, they combed through those regions exhaustively.

No sign of the Kunpeng Egg turned up, yet the search area kept shrinking steadily.

"Black Reef Island..."

Shen Jianjia gave a slight nod, mulling it over, before asking about her sister's condition.

"Sis, relax—I'm not badly hurt, just require a few days of recovery."

Shen Baishuang sensed her sister's concern and reassured her.

Shen Jianjia took her wrist to examine the injuries, then shared details about the Star Pirates' incident from days prior.

"Those damn Star Pirates once more!"

Shen Baishuang drew in a sharp breath, her face icing over; her ample chest strained against the tight red gown, nearly bursting free and exposing a glimpse of creamy skin.

"Sis, do you think Six Paths Palace orchestrated this?"

As Goddess Palace's Second Palace Master, Shen Baishuang was well aware of the tangled ties between Star Pirates and the Star Sea's powers.

The Six Path Demon Lord's Six Paths Palace could very well be the shadowy force puppeteering the Star Pirates.

"Very likely. The Six Path Demon Lord has long eyed dominance over the Starry Sky Sea, and the Star Pirates' disruptions over the years might serve as probes against the big sects..."

Shen Jianjia murmured gently, her forehead's plum blossom mark shimmering with radiant crystal glow.

"The Penglai Immortal City affair could be his probe against me, and your ambush a ploy to lure me out afterward."

Shen Jianjia laid it out.

Though pursued by the Six Path Demon Lord in youth, this very fact gave her profound insight into his nature.

She knew him as a man ruthless in pursuit of cultivation power.

His 'feelings' for her were fake; aware of her hidden truths, he plotted to slay and forge her into a Furnace.

"Sis, during my Kunpeng Egg hunts these past years, I've run into multiple Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators from outside our Starry Sky Sea..."

Shen Baishuang's look grew grave as she revealed this.

While Starry Sky Sea lacks strict righteous-demon divides, cultivation paths still form distinct camps.

These invading Demon Cultivators likely linked to the Six Path Demon Lord.

"Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators from beyond the Starry Sky Sea..."

Shen Jianjia's stunning eyes flickered with blue crystalline light, recalling the Goddess Palace's Honorary Elder, Xuanmu Taoist.

This figure might not wish harm on the Goddess Palace.

Yet from her watch, he hid secrets masterfully, his arts profoundly cunning.

Still, he rescued her disciple Qin Yunning, and given her sister Shen Yiren's views—harboring no malice toward the palace—she hadn't pressed hard.

But amid Starry Sky Sea's turmoil, facing his Fourth Rank Puppet, she now scrutinized this Xuanmu Elder closely.

Even with his travels, she couldn't ignore him.

After all, if he turned treacherous and ravaged the Goddess Palace in her absence, the damage would be catastrophic.

"Little Frost, years back, we welcomed a new guest elder to the Goddess Palace called Xuanmu Taoist. Watch him closely and probe him soon."

Shen Jianjia instructed her sister.

In Starry Sky Sea lore, Goddess Palace's Second Palace Master Shen Baishuang was famed for her fiery dominance, whims unchecked by others' views.

Such traits brought advantages and pitfalls.

For example, duties too awkward for the Great Palace Master could fall to Shen Baishuang.

Even if she botched them, her big sister would cover and fix the mess.
