Yuan Ming seemed oblivious to what had just occurred, continuing to perform a Soul Search on Wang Qi until his eyebrows slightly twitched, and he retracted his palm from atop the woman's head.
Wang Qi let out a pained cry, collapsing to the ground like a heap of mud.
"Master, what kind of trick are these two playing?" Vajra asked.
"They are stalling for time. The hidden chamber door where Yun Luo is imprisoned has a mixture of Zi Mei's soul power in its forbidden seal. When I broke through the secret chamber's defense, Zi Mei must have realized something was amiss and is likely on her way back. We should leave now," Yuan Ming quickly said, raising his hand to emit a blue light that enveloped Chen Yuluan and Wang Qi, and brought the two women into the Shura Palace.
"Zi Mei is merely at the late stage of Returning Void; what's there to worry about? It's even better if she comes, we can seize her together," Vajra said indifferently, clenching his fists with a cracking sound.
