Having resolved the matter with Jiu Ying, Lu Ye felt a weight lifted from his heart.
Looking back on all his interactions with Jiu Ying, the methods of this ancient monster that had lived for an untold number of years were truly formidable and unavoidable.

This creature concealed itself too well.
If it had not been discovered at the time, the consequences would have been endless.
