The pitch-black shadow quietly slipped into the Xiao Mansion, using the moonlit reflections along the way.
Everything proceeded silently, as if merging with the surroundings.
As a result, the guards at the Xiao Mansion could only watch the shadow continuously dart about, turning a blind eye.
In their eyes, this mass of shadow was no different from the other shadows cast in various corners of the courtyard.
Once back in the room, the shadow finally revealed itself as Xiao Shui.
This adventure was merely to confirm whether the stone was indeed the Fire Spirit's true form.
At the critical moment, he was just separated from the stone by a piece of curtain, but in the end, he didn't make a move.
"The Nine Sects' nine in the Realm of Transcendence, one from the Cultivator Institute, and Han Yu..."
Eleven in total in the Realm of Transcendence nearby, getting close was an extreme risk, trying to silently take the stone seems nearly impossible.
"This is really hard!"
