Chapter 3696 The Short Eighth Hidden Pagoda

"Did you complete a Hidden Pagoda?" Evelynn asked.

"I did. I completed the Ninth Hidden Pagoda."

"That's great. I could only complete the Eighth Hidden Pagoda, which probably has a lower difficulty as I could complete mine easily. You did good, Shirley~"

"Hehe~ Praise me more~" Shirley giggled.

"..."

Dewzai's expression was blank. Sure enough, these two weren't ordinary.

On the other hand, Rea Tyriel inwardly fumed.

She got beaten a second time in the Eighth Hidden Pagoda, allowing her to know for a fact which of them was more powerful. After all, the Eighth Hidden Pagoda not only suppressed their cultivation bases to Level One Immortal King Stage, but it also suppressed their prowess to the limit, keeping their prowess suppressed to Level One Immortal King Stage and forbidding the use of Divine Techniques, sealed their soul sense before even limiting their energy capacity to the same amount.

But most importantly, any kind of usage of Supreme Law was also sealed, which meant Evelynn had her Hex Laws sealed.

In other words, it was a pure skill versus skill battle, and what's more, there was a time limit of five minutes.

Still, Evelynn had an advantage since she possessed four scythes stemming from her spider bones, allowing her to defend and attack more times than she could. Rea Tyriel couldn't help but think she was being toyed with most of the time.

At the last minute, she was finally... poisoned to death.

"Enough!~"

Rea Tyriel screamed at Evelynn, who was explaining the events, making her embarrassed.

Evelynn laughed, "It's not your fault, Rea. It has not been many years since you were born, and you overly relied on your Light Laws. If it was any other inheritor who had much more skill, like Fire Phoenix Clan's Founder or Earth Dragon Clan's Founder, I wouldn't have necessarily won. They had much more time to refine their martial arts and soul attacks, after all."

"Stop making excuses for me. It makes me seem more pathetic when, in truth, your scythes were capable of maintaining absolute defense, not leaving a single one of my attacks falling on you, and your third eye also helped you cover your blind spot. You are... ridiculous!~"

Rea Tyriel pointed at Evelynn and complained.

Just a wicked spider's scythes wouldn't be able to defend against her attacks. However, she also came to know that Evelynn possessed Earth Dragon Blood, which made her defense nearly impenetrable. This Earth Dragon aspect made her scythes not only deadly but highly durable.

She couldn't tell if Dewzai was brave or stupid, but either way, since she survived, it was commendable.

When Evelynn told Shirley about her story, the latter was shocked.

"No way... you wisped out two Level Nine Immortal Kings from the Eighth Hidden Pagoda?"

"Mhm~" Evelynn nodded, "Rea's usage of Defensive Talisman and Escape Talisman gave me a few ideas. It could not only be used on ourselves but also others, so I trapped them using a Defensive Talisman and slapped an Escape Talisman on them, causing them to be sent out."

"..." Shirley's jaws dropped.

However, Evelynn continued, "The hard part was getting them together, so I threw the Gilded Realm Ascendant Realm Pill I stole from Rea to get their attention. I hexed it. My hex wouldn't allow the pill to be captured easily and move away from any living being, so while they were trying to capture it as they thought it was a sentient pill, they also fought for it as their alliance fell. When they were occupied in close combat, I ambushed them and used the defensive talisman to seal them both in the barrier. Finally, I slapped the Escape Talisman on the barrier, causing them both to disappear."

"..."

Shirley inwardly screamed that Evelynn didn't have to repeat that twice. Still, she could vividly imagine how exactly that would've taken place... those two Level Nine Immortal Kings get fooled and evicted by Evelynn.

That kind of ingenuity made her feel dumb for coming up with a method to save Dewzai by throwing the pill but not using her Escape Talismans on them. If she could've evicted some of them, the battle would've gone much easier.

"I think their names were Ilyas and Raon. I don't know their exact affiliation, but if you come across them, beware. They already saw my face, and they would be Immortal Emperors by now."

Evelynn reminded, causing Shirley to nod.

"I'll be careful, but-" Shirley pouted, "Jeez... you learned so much more than Collapse Hex, Sealing Hex, and Poison Hex... Do you perhaps have Love Hex?"

"What do you think?" Evelynn raised her brows.

Shirley gawked, "... You... you have..."

"..."

Evelynn didn't say anything and accelerated her pace, causing Shirley's gaze to flicker.

"Such a wicked power... teach me, big sister!~"

"Nope~"

Evelynn laughed freely.

When she researched Clara's physique, she learned a lot of hexes, mostly mundane but a few terrifying, but she wasn't proud of it yet as she had a long way to go to master them.
