Mo Shuiyao's face lit up with joy as she sped towards the stone tablet, quickly landing in front of it and reaching out to grab it.

However, when her hand touched the stone tablet, it didn't budge an inch, setting off alarm bells in her mind.

Without hesitation, she released her grip, turned around, and swung her Moon Blade behind her without delay. With a clang, it was deflected back.

Mo Shuiyao swiftly executed her movement technique, her figure flickering like a phantom to a distant spot. Only then did she look back at the stone tablet's location, where a grotesque creature now stood where she had been.
