In the end, Gu Yanran fell down limply.
Afterwards, Lin Qi and others tied the man back and reported to Chu Hong.
"Your Majesty, this demon girl has already lost her power. What should I do with her now?"
Chu Hong glanced at the ugly woman lying on the ground, frowning slightly.
Then he said expressionlessly, "First, tie her up and send her to the government office. Let the local officials convict her. Then, let the whole city know what happened to this witch."
Two guards stepped forward and were about to drag Gu Yanran away.
"Wait!" Chu Hong suddenly called them.
Then, he was heard to give a ruthless order: "First, peel off her face and make it into a lantern. I will take it back to the capital."

After Chu Hong and others left, the madam quickly discovered the secret passage and rescued the people inside.
But just as the group was being sent to the government office, Qi Che escaped again, dragging his broken body.
Just when Chu Hong was returning to Beijing with Gu Yanran's face lantern, someone had already arrived in the capital before him.
