Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily)
Chapter 1159

Sensing the danger behind him, Ivan felt like it was all over.

This mystery person was far too powerful. Let alone not being powerful enough to fight back, Ivan did not even have a chance to strike at all.

There was no hiding!

Ivan raised the scepter before him instinctively as sparks flew, and the blow from the mystery person hit the scepter!

The mystery person's eyes flashed with venom. The scepter had been one of Emperor Greenbow's personal weapons, holding an impossible amount of power. There was hardly any other weapon in the underworld that held such power.

A weapon this powerful would require the person who wielded it to be of the same amount of skill and power, even if this guy really was the reincarnation of Emperor Greenbow.

He would have to be strong enough to use the scepter for protection in the first place.

Well, now was the time to see if he was!

The next second, a blinding light shot out that seemed to soak up all the fog at the foot of the mountain.

The ominous-looking fog that Ivan had fought tooth and nail to enter disappeared in a split second...

Ivan shut his eyes. The light coming from it was so powerful that it was protecting him but also hurting him. No, he was just too weak.

Before he passed out, Ivan saw a faint light coming towards him. It was the little creature he had set out just now.

The creature had been running for its life when Ivan first got it. Why wasn't it doing that now and instead heading right for him?

Before Ivan could think twice, he had grabbed the creature and hurled it into his ring before losing consciousness altogether.

The light faded, and the fog from before appeared again where it had been. It enveloped the entire foot of the mountain, hiding Ivan from sight! The mystery person got a shock and rushed up. Yet he checked the entire place, and Ivan was nowhere to be seen!

Even the scepter he had been holding was missing!

The mystery person could not believe it. How had the bastard run away on the brink of death?

"Was he really Emperor Greenbow?" The mystery person stood in shock, his expression ashen and murderous.

Well. Regardless of whether or not Ivan was the reincarnation of Emperor Greenbow, the mystery person was going to treat him like he was.

He needed to replace this mortal.

The mystery person cast a glance at the fog around him. He thought of the Abyss of Ghosts and how it had the same fog as this, even though it was unrelated. He rushed off towards the Abyss of Ghosts at once.

Ivan's breathing was faint as he was enveloped in a ball of light, floating at the bottom of the Abyss of Ghosts.

He had lost all consciousness and could not tell that the mystery person was getting closer to him.

Ivan was wrapped in the light, and the light was wrapped in the fog at the Abyss of Ghosts as it floated along.

All of a sudden, a human head floated over. She had childlike features, but they made for a terrifying sight, her mouth seemed to be stitched up.

She floated closer to Ivan, giving it some thought before carefully pushing him upward.

A piercing howl rang from below all of a sudden, and a gigantic hand emerged from the fog to grab at them.

The little girl's head did not stop, charging upwards as she pushed Ivan along with the top of her head. They nearly avoided the hand, soaring higher and higher...

She was going pretty fast, but the abyss was impossibly deep...

Over at the top of the abyss.

Alban and Serene finally made it down and landed above the gap of the waterfall from the spiritual spring before!

Alban got a shock. Where's the waterfall? It indeed was this place!

The spiritual spring did not match what Serene had in mind, either. She had almost fallen into the abyss, only for this to turn out to be a bare, empty cliff. The walls of the cliff weren't even wet, what waterfall was this supposed to be?

"You tricked me!" Serene's gaze narrowed, and she swung the blade of her sword against Alban's neck.

Alban would have fallen into the abyss if he had not ducked in time.

Anger flared in his chest as well. This woman was quite a pain, threatening murder at the drop of a hat. How arrogant!

Serene smirked at the sight of the fury in Alban's eyes. "You should be lucky I wasn't actually trying to kill you!" Alban was speechless.

He scoffed, turning and heading inside. He refused to believe that a spiritual spring that big could have just vanished!

Aside from Ivan, Lilly was the only person who knew about this place.

Alban knew Lilly was powerful... but surely she was not powerful enough to take the entire waterfall with her!

Serene narrowed her eyes, taking in the look on Alban's face. It did not seem like he was tricking her.

But who would take a whole waterfall away?

The two of them made a round in the cave.

There was no sound of flowing water, not even a water drop. There were moist puddles here and there, holding less than a single drop of water.

Alban decided to make do with what he had. Despite there not being a single drop of water, the place was damp enough.

He lay down, licking the stones. He was going to get as much as he could.

Serene was speechless.

Alban raised his head to look at her. "You should get to it. There won't be any up there."

Serene huffed.

Was he seriously asking her to lick these stones like a dog?

That was impossible!
