The castle gates opened, revealing a pitch-ck interior.


    Under the cover of night, it seemed like a lurking monster, its gaping ck maw ready to devour any living creature.


    L and Miranda’s faces turned pale as they looked towards the servant at their side.


    To their surprise, the servant had disappeared without a trace, as if melding into the night.


    Even L’s keen senses failed to detect the disappearance.


    It was as if the person hadpletely blended into the darkness.


    This realization exchanged between L and Miranda brought a sense of gravity.


    It was bing apparent that the so-called party Mr. Roy had invited Miranda to was akin to a feast with nefarious intentions.


    Furthermore, there was an eerie atmosphere that even L, with all his understanding, found unfamiliar.


    “Wife, be careful and stay close to me,” L advised.


    “Yes, should we go in?” Miranda nodded, her cautious eyes scanning the surroundings, retrieving the Soulsummoning Banner from her ck bag.


    Miranda’s physical strength had reached the level of Myriad Forms Realm, on par with L’s, after awakening distant memories following a previous stimtion.


    She now possessed certain abilities and a better understanding of her Intermediary Soul Physique, knowing how to absorb other soul energies to strengthen her soul and subsequently her physical strength.


    However, Miranda was aware that she couldn’t recklessly absorb other’s souls without restraint.


    For instance, absorbing the soul of the young man in white, Casworon, had brought about some adverse effects for Miranda.Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Parts of Casworon’s memories had forcefully merged with Miranda’s own, including negative emotions and unpleasant experiences, making Miranda feel as if she had lived through them.


    It was clearly not a favorable situation.


    And this had been just one person’s memories!


    It was evident that if Miranda deprived of restraint, freely absorbed others’ souls, the side effects of experiencing their memories would be enough to destroy her soul and drive her into madness.


    Just like a vessel, once overloaded, the result was inevitable copse.


    Therefore, in order to harness her Intermediary Soul Physique, Miranda needed to exclusively absorb pure soul energy or those with lost self-awareness.


    Back to the present!


    At this point, Miranda hesitated about entering, but after considering L’s perspective, she agreed, “Yes, we should enter. I want to see what Mr. Roy is up to!”


    With her husband by her side, Miranda, who was never a feeble woman, felt a strong sense of confidence and security.


    With that, L and Miranda stepped into the castle hall, as if entering the mouth of the beast.


    Upon entering, L’s brow furrowed.


    In the moment he set foot into the castle hall, it seemed as though his vision had failed.


    It was as if he had entered pure darkness and could no longer see anything.


    This was an unlikely scenario for a practitioner.


    Even in a dark environment, with just a glimmer of light, L would be able to see in the dark.


    But now, it felt as if something had swallowed all the light,pletely cutting off the castle hall from the outside world, not even allowing the moonlight to filter through.


    “Husband, why can’t I see anything?” Miranda’s voice carried a hint of nervousness.


    “Me neither. Don’t worry, I’m here,” L reassured, holding Miranda’s hand, his tone steady.


    Sizzle!


    As he spoke, a blue light emanated from L, electric serpents darting around him.


    L, who possessed a thunder attribute physique, appeared as if he were possessed by a thunder god.


    After forming the Nascent Soul, obtaining a shard of spirituality, L gained greater control over his true Qi like second nature.


    In this instance, it was a mere trick.


    Since there was no light, he would create some himself!


    With L’s body radiating with blue light, both he and Miranda’s eyes seemed to instantly regain their sight.


    p, p, p!


    At that moment, a flurry of wings pping urred as a group of dark shadows lunged towards L and Miranda.


    These shadows fluttered with fleshy wings, mouths filled with sharp teeth, and crimson eyes emanating a bloodthirsty and malevolent aura.


    They were none other than sinister bloodsucking bats!


    “Get lost!” L’s face turned stern, surging with potent true Qi like a barrier that pushed these bats away, protecting himself and Miranda while causing the bats to burst and dissolve into mists of blood.


    Although L’s Qi Refinement strength was not as formidable as his physical strength, it had reached the level of the Golden Core’ster stage.


    Before his physical strength reached its current level of potency, he was already capable of overpowering his opponents.


    This robust true Qi not only contained the overflowing dragon Qi from his left kidney but also the Power of the Earth’s Depths and the power of thunder and lightning.


    For these bloodsucking bats, which could instantly drain amon person dry, encountering L’s emitted true Qi was simply untenable.


    Huff, huff, huff…


    At that moment, the sound of zing mes emerged, and the castle hall was immediately illuminated by countless white candles.


    The hall was incredibly spacious, covering an area of thousands of square meters, with various statues scattered throughout.


    Over ten thousand white candles were arranged to form a colossal pentagram pattern. And to the surprise of L and Miranda, they were standing right in the center of the pentagram.
