As a villain, I really can't become stronger anymore

The more he thought about it, the more mysterious that woman seemed to him. What Ron found most difficult to understand was that he only felt a strong threat from the thirteen ancestors, but he felt a deep fear from that woman.

Ron pursed his lips and said, "Philomena, do you know if there are any women among the ancestors of the Andre family?"

Philomena shook her head: "No."

"The Andre family is extremely conservative and old-fashioned. They have always insisted on male superiority and female inferiority. Women are just vassals and tools for bearing children. Only men can support a family."

“So, in the Andre family, it’s very difficult for women to obtain the true inheritance.”

As she spoke, Philomena's eyes suddenly brightened, as if she remembered something: "Oh, by the way, I have read some family histories. They simply record the development of the Andre family, as well as some things that are not particularly important."

"It is said that three thousand years ago, there was a woman in the Andre family. This woman's talent was better than all the male members of the time. It can even be said that she was the most talented and outstanding person the Andre family had ever seen since its birth."

"With that woman's talent, if she really had the opportunity to practice the Andre family's longevity and space secrets, it would be very easy for her to become an ancestor. But unfortunately, the Andre family values ​​boys over girls, and it is impossible for a woman to truly inherit. There is no record of this woman in the subsequent family history."

Ron held his chin, lost in thought.

Could the mysterious, quiet woman he saw at the altar be the woman Philomena was talking about?

Why did she let herself be killed?

What exactly do the members of the Andre family want to do with this woman?

For some reason, Ron felt his scalp tingling. He felt as if he was about to guess something, but it was just a little bit short. It was clearly within reach, but he couldn't touch it. That feeling made Ron almost crazy.

"Do you still have that family history book with you?" Ron asked again.

Philomena shook her head, then nodded. "When our family moved, all our belongings were sealed in the original place. Although I have never returned to our ancestral home for so many years, it is protected by the secret method left by my father. I think it should not decay even after thousands of years."

"If you want that family history, I can take you there once things are settled here."

"In that case, thank you very much." Ron nodded, feeling a little relieved. If he could find the family history, perhaps he would know whether the woman he saw was the woman Philomena described. Knowing more would give him a better chance of winning.

For some reason, even though the woman did not exude the same strong pressure as the thirteen old men, Ron was extremely afraid of her.

He even had a very bad premonition that he might suffer extremely terrible suffering from this woman.

"By the way, Philomena, do you know where the Andre family's lair is?" Ron stretched his arms and asked casually.

He just asked this casually and did not expect to get a positive answer from Philomena. After all, as the most powerful of the hidden clans, the Andre family kept everything about their family extremely confidential and would never disclose it easily.

Unexpectedly, Philomena just nodded briskly: "I know."

"Oh, it doesn't matter if you don't know. After all, that's the Andre family..." Ron said subconsciously, but when he was halfway through his words, he suddenly felt something was wrong and stopped talking. After several seconds, Ron's voice sounded again: "What? You know?"

This time, Ron couldn't help but raise his voice, which was clearly filled with disbelief.

That's the Andre family, the oldest and most mysterious family in the entire Dusk Continent with a history of at least eight thousand years. How could Philomena know the Andre family's lair?

Even Ron was really shocked this time.

Philomena looked at Ron in surprise, as if she didn't understand why Ron reacted so strongly: "What's wrong with that?"

"Although the Andre family's lair is extremely secretive, as long as they live in the Dusk Continent, they will inevitably leave traces."

Then, Philomena's face turned slightly red, and she seemed a little embarrassed: "Besides, I was also young and frivolous once. At that time, I had just entered the realm of destruction, and was hunted down by those lackeys of the Andre family. I was very unhappy and wanted to retaliate. So when the assassins of the Andre family assassinated me, they deliberately left two people alive. Then I quietly followed them, wanting to find the Andre family's lair and directly destroy this damn family!"

Ron became interested.

He could imagine Philomena's state at that time.

Although Philomena is petite, she is still a very proud woman in essence.

Philomena must have been filled with rage as she had been hunted down all the time. She had finally broken through to a new level and thought that no one in the world could be her opponent, so she naturally wanted to get her revenge.

However, only when Philomena really meets the Andre family will she realize how terrifying these hidden families are.

Even though the Andre family is nothing in front of Archibald, with nearly a hundred ancestors killed and only a dozen left, even with Archibald's personal intervention, there are still more than a dozen fire seeds left, which in itself is a symbol of strength.

"And then..." Ron became curious and wanted to know what would happen next.

Philomena's face turned even redder, and she was obviously a little embarrassed: "I followed those two people. I thought that this kind of hidden family should live in the mountains or forests. I didn't expect that the two people went directly to a hotel in the city."

"This hotel is actually owned by the Andre family. There is a room on the top floor of the hotel that is not used to entertain any guests on weekdays. Only members of the Andre family can stay there."

"There is a directional teleportation magic circle inside the hotel. As long as you consume the best magic stone, you can directly teleport people from the hotel to the door of the Andre family mansion."

"I quietly followed these two people, using the invisibility technique to hide my figure, and teleported with them. As a result, as soon as I landed, before I even had time to see what was happening around me, a fierce attack came directly from inside the mansion."

"It was then that I realized that all my plans had been discovered by the people from the Andre family who were following me. The reason they let me act freely was to lure me to the Andre family and then completely eliminate me."

"If I didn't have the treasures and relics left by my father, I would have died there. Although I survived by chance, I was also badly injured. I even almost fell again when I entered the realm of destruction."

“After that, I never dared to underestimate the Andre family again.”

Philomena stuck out her tongue, which looked a little cute.

After all, she was talking about the embarrassing things that happened to her, so Philomena's face turned red.

"Do you know where that place is now?" Ron asked.

Philomena nodded and said, "I know. If you want to go, I can lead the way."

She was a little embarrassed at first, but in the blink of an eye, Philomena's eyes were filled with excitement and eagerness to try.

Philomena considered the loss she suffered at the doorstep of the Andre family to be a lifelong disgrace.

She had always wanted to get back at him, but Philomena knew very well how powerful the guy who attacked her that day was. He was on a completely different level from her. Even though her strength had risen greatly and she had reached the peak of the realm of destruction, and even controlled the laws of regeneration and violence at the same time, she was still no match for him.

That is a genuine demigod.

But if Ron went with them, the situation would immediately be different.

Ron is a very powerful guy. Although his realm is not as good as mine, he will not be inferior to me in a real fight. The most important thing is that if Ron goes there, it means that Niafu will also go there.

This is a six-winged fallen angel.

What a powerful existence.

I don’t believe that we can’t kill those old turtles from the Andre family.

Philomena looked very excited, as if she couldn't wait to drag Ron to get back at him.

Ron couldn't help laughing. Although Philomena was not young anymore, she was still a little childish... Of course, Ron didn't hate this kind of purity. Rather, her petite figure and baby-like face made her even more adorable.

Just as he was about to speak, Ron's expression suddenly changed.

It was not just Ron, Niafu was the same, and even Philomena, the noise that had been coming out of her little mouth suddenly stopped, and her eyes quickly looked towards the ice cave in front of them.

The previous Zu Wen's killing sword formation did not disappear immediately after destroying the evil spirit's body. Instead, it continued to release its unparalleled power, and an unknown number of meters of thick glacier was directly pierced through.

The sea water under the glacier could not withstand the huge pressure and rushed out.

Eventually, it solidified again due to the bone-chilling cold on the glacier.

During this period of time, Ron and the other two had been guarding near the ice cave where the evil spirit was destroyed. However, after so much time, the ice cave had no response from beginning to end. Even Ron couldn't help but begin to doubt in his heart whether the evil spirit was really killed by him. At this time, something unexpected finally happened.

Click, click, click...

The slight sound of something cracking kept coming into the ears of the three people.

Although subtle, it was particularly jarring at this time.

All pairs of eyes were fixed on the ice ahead.

The newly solidified ice is naturally not as solid as the previous black ice that has been tempered for thousands of years. When the ice layers in other places have not shown any changes, cracks have begun to appear on the ice surface here.

At first, there were only sparse cracks, but as time passed, the number of cracks began to increase. In the blink of an eye, the entire ice surface was densely covered, like dozens of spider webs overlapping each other.

This scene made Ron sigh inwardly.

The evil spirit is about to be resurrected.

In the end, he still failed to completely wipe out the evil spirit.

What exactly went wrong?

It was obvious that he had already inherited the goddess of dawn, Ostara, and that his body contained the divinity that Ostara had specially separated. He also mastered the secret techniques recorded in Ostara's fragments.

Even Ostara's heart is embedded in his chest.

In theory, the inheritance of the Dawn Goddess should have been in her hands now, so why couldn't she completely eliminate the evil spirit? Could it be that Irelia had to do it herself?

Or is it that there are other powers or even bloodlines in Irelia that she doesn't understand?

Although they felt somewhat unwilling, the resurrection of the evil spirit could no longer be stopped, so Ron and his companions could only retreat and temporarily distance themselves.

After all, this evil spirit is very evil. Every time it is killed and reborn, its strength will increase greatly. It can be imagined that the evil spirit reborn this time must be more powerful than the evil spirit that was easily destroyed by Zu Wen's killing sword formation before.

Ron did not dare to delay and quickly swallowed several bottles of magic recovery potion. He even held a dragon crystal in his palm and quickly absorbed the energy in it.

Previously, in order to perform the Zu Wen Killing Sword Formation, the energy in his body was almost exhausted. After the evil spirit was destroyed, although Ron recovered some energy, it was not much. At least, Ron could not perform the Zu Wen Killing Sword Formation again.

"Bai Lan..." Ron pursed his lips and called his sister-in-law.

However, the voice floated in the empty air without receiving any response.

Ron's heart skipped a beat and he suddenly turned around to look behind him. The next moment, the expression on his face suddenly became extremely strange.

Because all his attention had been focused on the resurrection of the evil spirit, and he had accidentally peeked into the future, Ron's energy had been completely absorbed. In addition, it had been very quiet behind him, so Ron did not pay too much attention to the rear.

But this time, when Ron looked over, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

Bai Lan is still there.

Good.

At least she looked fine on the outside, without any problems. Her slender and graceful body stood quietly on the ice, not moving a muscle. However, her eyes, which were originally open, had closed slightly at some point, as if she had fallen asleep.

But on the surface of Bai Lan's body, there were streams of air flowing slowly in all directions.

The airflow was not violent, but when Ron looked over, he could clearly feel a strong pressure.

There was no wind, but the plain white skirt fluttered wantonly, and the long silver hair behind her was also dancing wildly. Strands of orange-yellow silk were densely wrapped around Bai Lan's body like silk.

Ron never expected that such a change would happen in such a short period of time. If something really happened to Bai Lan, how would he report to Bai Yuan when he returned?

At that moment, he pointed his toes and flew towards Bai Lan in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, Ron stopped in front of Bai Lan.

Staring at the fox girl in front of him, Ron could clearly feel that Bai Lan's aura was becoming stronger and stronger, and her strength and realm were constantly rising.

But it is obvious that Bai Lan's improvement is not normal.

It was more like some kind of powerful force that was being forcibly infused into Bai Lan's body.

Seize the body?
