Going against the will of heaven, summoning strange beasts, abandoning her daughter, she is addicted

To avoid alerting the enemy, Ruan Yu withdrew the spiritual energy covering the courtyard.

Although her mental strength is stronger than many people's, she understands the principle that there are always people more capable than herself.

Without the aid of mental power, she relied entirely on her five senses. Ruan Yu vaguely sensed that something had entered through the crack in the door.

The door was not open.

The next second, a figure appeared on one side of the bed.

Ruan Yu was sleeping on her side, facing the person who came in. Her breathing became calmer with each breath, her chest rising and falling slightly.

It looks like it's really fast asleep.

A cool and damp chill swept over her, making Ruan Yu feel uncomfortable, so she turned over and lay flat on her back.

It's the Lord of the Dark Pavilion! That water spirit!

His aura didn't suggest he was injured. But when his clone self-destructed, it clearly severely injured him!

I don't know what method they used, but it recovered completely in such a short time.

The master of the Dark Pavilion was very suspicious. From the moment he saw "Dark Fifteen", he sensed that "Dark Fifteen" was not the same as before.

But he couldn't quite put his finger on what was different; it was probably just a feeling.

So he made a move to test the waters, but the divine power released by "Dark Fifteen" when it dodged was exactly the same as before.

Is he overthinking it?

Just as he dispelled his doubts and let "Dark Fifteen" leave, wanting to be intimate with the woman "Dark Fifteen" brought back, that damned bitch actually refused to submit and self-destructed!

The self-destruction power of an eighth-level god should not be so terrifying!

However, the fact is that his water shield was completely destroyed! Not only that, but it also damaged his very foundation!

Is such power really something that can be produced by the self-destruction of an eighth-tier god? Are you sure it's not the peak of the god level? Or perhaps an even higher level?

Afterwards, he used a secret method to heal his injuries, but his right arm was destroyed in the explosion! It could never grow back!

He's crippled! This means his cultivation can no longer advance an inch!

The bright moon shone down, its pure white light streaming through the window and illuminating the master of the dark chamber.

His shadow was stretched very long.

A long piece of it was pulled onto the bed.

There was a small puddle of water on the bedding, pressed down by the shadow. It was icy cold and had seeped into the bedding.

If you're going to act, you have to act convincingly. If Ruan Yu doesn't move, it will only deepen the Dark Pavilion Master's suspicions.

Then she clicked her tongue, as if she was about to wake up.

The master of the Dark Pavilion clenched his fist.

Ruan Yu curled up her legs, turned over, and lay down on her side to sleep.

Her back was completely exposed to the Lord of the Dark Pavilion.

This relaxed demeanor suggests he's not pretending to be asleep.

The Dark Pavilion Master loosened his clenched fist, stared at Ruan Yu's back for a long time, and finally quietly withdrew.

I've lost count of how much time has passed.

Once the damp atmosphere in the room had completely dissipated, Ruan Yu slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes, as black as obsidian, shone brightly even in the darkness.

“Shadow.” Ruan Yu sat up, her legs hanging naturally over the edge of the bed.

"Master, it is indeed a water spirit, but his right arm is missing." The shadow emerged from the ground and gradually coalesced into a human body.

A shadow can be truly silent.

Ruan Yu kept him hidden in the shadows.

Previously, he was hiding under the shade of a tree. After the Lord of the Dark Pavilion appeared, he hid in his shadow and entered Dark Fifteen's room with him.

In this way, even if the leader of the Dark Pavilion takes action, Shadow can immediately intervene to stop him, buying Ruan Yu a moment to buy time.

That's just how Ruan Yu is—cautious, cautious, and even more cautious!

This is why she dared to entrust her back to the master of the Dark Pavilion.

"It seems the explosion of the clone did hurt him after all." Ruan Yu's tone was devoid of any smugness.

The loss of an arm was nothing; the Dark Pavilion Master's aura remained as composed as before.

His cultivation level hasn't declined, but his win rate is still very low.

“Master, it’s not easy for the clone to get close to him again after self-destructing in front of him.” The shadow volunteered, “Why don’t I go instead?”

“That water creature was very unvigilant and didn’t even notice my presence. I took the opportunity to hide in its shadow so I could gather more information for my master.”

It is indeed a good idea.

but……

For some reason, ever since entering the Dark Pavilion, her heart had been uneasy. Perhaps it was the unknown existence of the Water People that had given her such a profound shock.

Or perhaps, the opponent's strength was too great, and his own cultivation level had dropped, so he couldn't help but feel anxious.

For whatever reason, Water People are extremely dangerous.

It's always best to be cautious in everything you do.

“Go to An Jiu’s side,” Ruan Yu said.

“Alright, I’ll go keep an eye on him.” Shadow accepted the order.

Ruan Yu shook her head slightly: "It's not surveillance."

After she finished speaking, her tone turned cold: "Find an opportunity to kill him!"

An Jiu must not be allowed to live!

He was the first, and the only one, to immediately recognize that she wasn't Dark Fifteen. His awareness even surpassed that of the Dark Pavilion Master!

Ruan Yu always felt that An Jiu was a variable, and no one could predict what he might do next.

Right now, the secret that he is not Dark Fifteen must not be revealed. Therefore, Dark Nine must die!

The shadow understood.

His figure darted swiftly through the shadows of the trees, and soon arrived at An Jiu's residence.

At this moment, the light in An Jiu's room was still on, and he was concentrating on studying the pill that Ruan Yu had given him.

Even though he was familiar with all spiritual plants and could accurately describe the medicinal properties of each one, he couldn't analyze which spiritual plants were used in the elixir.

An Shiliu has woken up, but due to the damage to his body, he has been forcibly kept on the bed by An Jiu and is not allowed to get out of bed.

"Dark Nine, the Fifteenth Prince... there's something strange about him." He can't move, but he can speak.

After thinking for a long time, Dark Sixteen finally told what he had seen before he fainted: "I thought I was going to die in that explosion. But then I saw Old Fifteen appear in front of me in an instant."

"...That's spatial divine power."

Whether Dark Fifteen possesses spatial attributes or not, they all know very well.

Therefore, the current Dark Fifteen is not a true Dark Fifteen.

Although this fake Dark Fifteen saved his life, who knows if the other party, impersonating Dark Fifteen, might do something harmful to the Dark Pavilion?

After hearing these words, An Jiu didn't even lift his eyelids, remaining completely focused on studying the pills.

Dark Sixteen knew he was listening: "Why are you so calm? Do you know who he is?"

He twitched his finger in excitement, which aggravated his meridians, causing him to gasp for breath in pain.

An Jiu put down the pills and turned to walk over: "I told you not to move around. You're injured right now."

"You really know?" Dark Sixteen stared into his eyes and continued to ask, "And what about the master? Does he know?"

"No, I must report this to the Lord!"
