In Googles never ending pursuit to demonstrate how large of a dork they can be, they have released a revised version of the original PairIP that has been changed just enough to break automatic tools.
Fortunately, it is just as simple to remove.
Several things should be considered.
The apk doesn't have a libpairipXXX.so library.
Better still, the apk has zero LIB folder for universal architecture.
The apk has a PAIRIP folder within the DEX code.
You tried the version 1 removal but it failed.
I use 2 tools for this, MT and LP.
I am using CoG eBook, Throne of Blood as example here.

Note that I will not be applying any gaming mod. I am only removing the protection.
Starting with MT
Verify we are dealing with PairIP and get the information we need to remove it.
Use the DEX editor.
The .super or invoke-super has the information.
If you are acquainted with manually removing PairIP v1 then this is nothing new.
Copy the information.
Exit the DEX editor and load the manifest.
Search for PairIP
We are going to change the line that says run pairip with what the original apk used.
This is a direct copy/paste. It needs to be cleaned up.
Remove the first L, ending ;, and change / to .
Save and exit.
Go back to DEX editing.
Locate and delete the PairIP folder.
Install the apk but don't run it.
Launch LP.
Locate the game. We are going to do several patches at once.
This is mostly code cleanup and malware removal, something that all mods should use.
I am not touching IAP as that is up to the modder.
Get rid of any leftover license check code, typically in the manifest, although it could be in other areas of code.
Remove Google ads.
The most common ads, however, far from the only ads. This is just a quick and safe cleanup.
For more aggressive ads, Finsky, Moloco, ByteDance, AirB&B, et cetera, they require tools and methods not covered here as this is about removing protection.
Permissions, often done without you knowing, that should never be allowed.
Background ad services, spyware, internet for offline games, wakelock for non system apps,
Rebuild the app.
As you can see, 45 advertising services, and 4 license checks were removed!
In this tiny eBook!
Further, this app is now offline.
Allow LP to update the apk.
Run
We have a working game, PairIP protection removed.
Ad's removed.
Internet access removed.
Now all it needs it to be modded.
