"Qingyin, what's wrong with you?" Xu Chen asked with concern, feeling uneasy about Qingyin's reaction.

"Xu Chen... stop, just stop..." Qingyin said.

The group stopped at the foot of a mountain. Qingyin dismounted and said to them, "Xu Chen, Izayoi, and Maluo!"

"What's wrong?" Izayoi asked, "Why did we suddenly stop?"

"Don't ask so many questions!" she snapped, "You guys go over there and wait for me. I'll be back soon!"

"Huh? But..." Xu Chen and Izayoi were puzzled, while only Maluo watched Qingyin's expression with interest.

"I... am leaving." Qingyin suddenly turned her face, her shimmering eyes glanced at Xu Chen, and then she disappeared in a flash.

Leaving Xu Chen and Izayoi standing there, bewildered.

"What just happened? Why did Qingyin suddenly disappear?" Izayoi asked.

"I have no idea..." Xu Chen could still smell Qingyin's fragrance lingering near him, a scent more alluring than usual.

Inside the ancient castle, the shadowy Qingyin finished washing herself and wrapped herself in a towel before stepping out.

"Hmm!" A figure appeared out of thin air in the room, by the window lit by moonlight.

The shadowy Qingyin turned around and saw her exact double, except the other Qingyin was wearing a battle uniform.

Qingyin's cheeks turned red, but her eyes revealed a murderous intent. "You... you wicked woman! You dared to defy my will and do such shameless things!"

The shadowy Qingyin casually dried her hair with a towel and wore a seductive expression. "My dear sister, didn't you ask me to find a way to control the Ghost-Handed Butcher? I only did as you wished!"

Slap! Qingyin slapped the shadowy Qingyin's face, knocking her to the side.

She approached, enraged but it was already too late. She said, "Enough! I never thought that this Shadow Clone technique couldn't fully control the clone. Perhaps there was an error in the technique. As for the Ghost-Handed Butcher, I will deal with him myself. As for you, you no longer have any reason to exist. Go back to where you came from..."

Qingyin's hand pointed at the shadowy Qingyin's forehead, casting a spell. According to Princess Night's memory, it was a spell that could dissolve the clone. She believed that after a moment, the clone would return to the energy of the stars, and everything would cease to exist.

However, after a few moments, the shadowy Qingyin remained unchanged, bowing her head but showing no other reaction.

"What?!" Qingyin was stunned, repeating the spell several times.

"Why? Why is this spell ineffective? What's going on?!" Qingyin was astonished, looking at her unchanged shadowy double.

"Hehehe... Hehehehe..." Suddenly, the shadowy Qingyin laughed coldly, a laughter that seemed to contain an inexplicable power.

"Eh?" Qingyin felt an instinctive fear.

Suddenly, a terrifying pressure, beyond Qingyin's comprehension, descended upon her!

"Ah—!!!" Qingyin let out a short cry, almost immediately falling to the ground under the pressure.

Qingyin felt that the pressure had such control over her that she couldn't even think of resisting. If this terrifying power wanted to destroy her in an instant, it could easily do so. But for now, this pressure only made her kneel.

"What is this power? It's even more terrifying than Xia Lengyue, who is at the Jade Dragon Realm. Could it be that the Four Ancestors have come to Feiyue Prison?" Although Qingyin was in extreme distress, she continued to ponder.

Meanwhile, the shadowy Qingyin calmly stood up in the midst of this boundless pressure.

"Water Night Clear Sound, you foolish woman without any attachments, did you really think that I am your clone?"

"Eh?" Qingyin raised her head and looked at the woman in front of her, who looked exactly like herself, no, who looked the same, but seemed to have darker, boundless eyes. "What... what is going on? Why is my clone..."

"Take another look and see who I am." The shadowy Qingyin said, letting the towel slide down, revealing a perfect ketone body under the moonlight.Suddenly, her hair floated and spread out in all directions, extremely long. A pair of jet-black and breathtaking wings extended from her back.

"Whoosh!"

Her hair seemed to directly blend with the darkness.

The wings directly overshadowed the entire night sky.

The room, the castle, and everything around Qingyin disappeared in an instant.

No, they didn't disappear. The light they emitted was all absorbed by the endless darkness emanating from this woman.

The whole world turned pitch black. Only Qingyin and that woman remained.

"You... you... you are..."

"Hahaha!" The woman's laughter seemed to scorn the entire universe. "Now that I have descended, your task is also complete! Water Night Clear Sound, my incarnation."
