No sooner had Wan Qijin returned to Lingshan and entered the formation than Yin Changling gathered his men and surrounded the Imperial Preceptor's residence.
The commotion was so great that it alarmed almost everyone in the capital, causing panic among officials and common people alike, who feared that war was breaking out and that fighting was coming to their doorstep.
The night was deep.
Wan Qijin returned to the Demon-Trapping Array. He looked at Tu Shan Lingxi, who was sleeping soundly, kissed her little face, and was about to hold her and sleep with her.
However, a series of sounds suddenly came from the ground, as if the sky were collapsing and the earth were splitting, which made the man open his eyes alertly.
He glanced at Tu Shan Lingxi, who was sleeping in his arms. She seemed to sense the movement as well, and frowned uncomfortably.
Afraid of waking her, Wan Qijin quickly left the formation, wanting to investigate what could be causing such a commotion.
As it turned out, he happened to see Yin Changling, who had already come looking for him, and the elite soldiers following behind him.
Wan Qijin laughed, a laugh filled with the contempt of an immortal looking down on an ant, as if he could destroy someone with a wave of his hand, mocking Yin Changling's ignorance.
"Yin Changling, what do you mean by this? You came to visit me in the middle of the night without even informing me. I thought a thief had broken into my house."
Wan Qijin sneered, a murderous intent hidden in his eyes, his most ruthless side. Only when he thought of the profound Tu Shan Lingxi did this murderous intent gradually disappear.
Yin Changling met his gaze, and in the blink of an eye, they were evenly matched.
Only after Yin Changling was defeated did he ask Wan Qijin a question, half-sarcastically, though the words were certainly not pleasant to hear.
"Your Excellency, I have come here specifically to request the return of my young queen. You must not know this, or are you committing a heinous crime by deliberately hiding my young queen?"
"Um?"
Wan Qijin pretended not to know. Since he already knew that Yin Changling couldn't tolerate him, he would reluctantly accept Tu Shan Lingxi for himself.
He wouldn't give the enemy a chance to see Xi'er. Anyway, he set up the formation with his spiritual power, so no one would know Tu Shan Ling Xi's whereabouts.
However, what Wan Qijin didn't know was that ever since he injured Yin Changling last time, the dragon vein had been protecting Yin Changling, allowing him to remain undisturbed by spiritual power.
In other words, Yin Changling only needs to walk a little further up the mountain to see Tu Shan Lingxi, who is trapped in the formation.
Wan Qijin was completely unaware of this matter. He remained nonchalant, as if he already held all the power and showed no sign of panic.
"Your Majesty, have you come to the wrong place? I have nothing here. The Queen's disappearance indicates that her fate with Your Majesty is weak. Perhaps it would be better to let go sooner rather than later."
Upon hearing this, Yin Changling's lips twitched. He didn't even glance at Wan Qijin and continued leading his men up the mountain.
He had a premonition that Tu Shan Ling Xi was nearby and that he could find her.
Sure enough, Yin Changling saw Tu Shan Lingxi sleeping soundly in mid-air. She seemed to be enveloped in a white light and was sleeping peacefully without being disturbed.
"Xi'er!"
Yin Changling ran in that direction, but was stopped halfway by Wan Qijin.
"Halt! Yin Changling!"
Wan Qijin was shocked. He never expected that Yin Changling could actually find Tu Shan Lingxi. This was simply too astonishing.
Yin Changling refused to be controlled by him and charged into the formation, while his men were stopped and wandered around in circles as if trapped in a maze.
Wan Qijin now fully understood that his formation had not failed, but Yin Changling was an exception; Yin Changling was no longer under the control of spiritual power!
