Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily)
Chapter 1343 Discovered

Lilly held her breath, unable to comprehend this unfamiliar environment and afraid of being detected by any hidden threats. She proceeded cautiously, extending her consciousness one meter at a time. Just as her consciousness was about to reach its maximum range of visibility-

Suddenly, she felt an intense sense of danger!

It's right there!

Lilly's consciousness immediately halted, and she determined that if she continued less than half a meter forward, something terrifying would surely be waiting. Since her hand was still held by Ivan, Lilly couldn't make any sudden movements, so she quietly squeezed his palm instead. He looked at her questioningly, and she signaled with her eyes, directing his attention to a specific spot.

Ivan followed her gaze and noticed that all the sharp rocky mountains surrounding them appeared identical. However, he focused his gaze on one particular rocky mountain based on his intuition. Did Lilly's consciousness see something? Within a range of 50 meters?

Their opponent remained silent, but Ivan sensed a familiar feeling of danger. He was well-acquainted with this sensation, having been pursued by the black-robed man for the past few years. Could it be that his suspicion was correct, and the black-robed man had taken the initiative and was hiding in the darkness?

Suddenly, Ivan felt a tight grip on his hand. It was Lilly, involuntarily gripping his hand nervously. He gently squeezed back.

Lilly continued to hold her breath and cautiously extended her consciousness, getting closer and closer.

Half a meter... 20 centimeters... 5 centimeters...

Eventually, a sinister face appeared in Lilly's consciousness.

The man suddenly turned around and looked in her direction at that very moment, making her breath hitch and her consciousness dare not move at all. She had now finally recognized the threat hidden in the darkness as the black-robed man she had encountered at Everest Ghost Market!

Indeed, he was dressed in a black robe that concealed the garment underneath, and a hood connected to the black robe covered most of his face. Lilly's consciousness was not obstructed by the hat, allowing her to clearly see the man furrowing his brows, suspicion and vigilance evident in his eyes while he stared at their hiding place! This person possessed more power than anyone she had encountered before, so she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, not daring to make any movement.

Ivan tightly held her hand; while he didn't voice it, Lilly understood his unspoken question. He subtly pointed to the black clothes he was wearing, and she nodded. He immediately understood that it was indeed the black-robed man and both of them refrained from making any sudden movements. In the presence of such a formidable opponent, even the slightest heavy breath could be detected, let alone any actions.

The two parties remained in this stalemate. Ivan and Lilly couldn't comprehend why the black-robed man was also motionless despite his superior strength. Ivan recalled his previous attempts to deceive the black-robed man, but the latter had always been cautious and never fell for his tricks.

Along their journey, Lilly had also heard Ivan recount his secret encounters with the black-robed man. After pondering for a moment, she concluded that even the black-robed man himself was uncertain and was simply too cautious. After all, he had suddenly turned around just as her spiritual consciousness had extended toward him, indicating that he had sensed something.

Lilly realized that her caution earlier was justified, but what should they do now? If they acted rashly or exposed themselves, the other party could potentially kill them without hesitation, but continuing this confrontation with each other was not a solution either.

Lilly had correctly guessed that the black-robed man had sensed something was amiss. In that split second, he had felt as if someone had approached him from behind. The feeling was unfamiliar, but he had experienced it before when Emperor Eastmount had used his spiritual consciousness to investigate him thousands of years ago. However, the black-robed man was not the rightful ruler back then, and as a shadow, he had limited perception. He would not overlook even the slightest possibility, though. If it truly was a spiritual consciousness-

The black-robed man recalled that the teleportation formation had activated just now, but no one had appeared, and now, someone might be secretly observing him with their spiritual consciousness. Combining these two speculations, his conclusion was that-

It had to be the little Ruler of Hell, and she had brought someone with her. This person not only possessed enough power to leave midway through the ancient teleportation formation but also spiritual consciousness! There was only one person in the entire Yin Realm who possessed this level of strength-Emperor Eastmount.

The black-robed man now knew that Emperor Prosper, Barry MacNeil, had appeared. The Earth Goddess had been suppressed and refined by him, so even if she sided with the little Ruler of Hell, she had no real power. As for King Earthid, which was his true form, the black-robed man had sealed him in the Human Realm. No matter how powerful the individuals in the Underworld were, they couldn't guess that he had suppressed the rightful ruler in the Human Realm.

The remaining candidates were Emperor Eastmount and Emperor Greenbow, both of whom had disappeared without a trace. Emperor Greenbow was likely this Ivan kid since his ability to obtain the scepter was sufficient proof. As to whether Emperor Eastmount had reincarnated or was hiding somewhere to restore his Order, the black-robed man hadn't figured it out yet.

In the current situation, the black-robed man couldn't help but wonder-could it be that the little Ruler of Hell had found Emperor Eastmount, and he had accompanied her here? No, it wasn't just Emperor Eastmount since Ivan, whom he had been hunting down not long ago, had escaped. It was highly likely that Ivan was now with the little Ruler of Hell too.

Therefore, there probably were three people hiding from him now!
