After leaving the outer disciples' residence, Jiang Lingyue began to search with her spiritual sense and found Ren Lingxiao and Sun Xiaodie.

"Uncle Jiang, you're here!" Sun Xiaodie waved and greeted him.

Jiang Lingyue raised her eyes and looked at the two of them, "Did you tell the law enforcement elder about what happened yesterday?"

"All the elders have been informed." Ren Lingxiao walked over quickly and bowed, "Uncle Jiang, the elders invite you."

Jiang Lingyue nodded and followed the two to the Law Enforcement Hall.

Inside the hall, the elders sat with serious expressions.

Seeing Jiang Lingyue, the elders stood up to greet her.

Jiang Lingyue nodded, and after exchanging some greetings, they took their seats one by one.

"Your Highness the Ninth Prince, what is your opinion on this matter?" The third elder Dugu Xiao looked solemn.

Jiang Lingyue pondered for a moment and suggested, "Please ask the elders to choose a location and set up several formations.

After that, I will find a way to lure the thief in.

The elders are lying in ambush on all sides. Once the formation is activated, we will attack in groups."

The fourth elder Feng Xiangru had a trace of worry on her face, "Ninth Prince, is it too dangerous for you to lure the enemy with your own body?"

"Thank you for your concern, Fourth Elder."

Jiang Lingyue felt warm in her heart, looked around at the elders, and smiled confidently, "I'm sure you elders are all aware of my cultivation. I have ways to protect myself, so please rest assured."

The eyes of the great elder Fu Wen flashed with approval, "As expected of a royal princess, you have such courage at such a young age."

Fifth Elder Jiang Yuyan smiled and nodded, "Your Highness the Ninth Prince is kind and righteous, and is truly a role model for our generation."

"In that case, I'll have to trouble Your Highness the Ninth Prince." Second Elder Xie Shimei bowed.

With the support of the elders, Jiang Lingyue started to prepare together with the elders.

Everyone first selected a valley, and after determining the location, the elders began to set up the formation.

Jiang Lingyue watched from the side and assisted.

As night fell, the formation was almost complete.

The elders asked Jiang Lingyue to go back and rest, and they would inform her when the formation was fully set up tomorrow.

Jiang Lingyue was worried whether her master had returned to Lingyun Peak, so she did not reject the elders' kindness.

After leaving the valley, Jiang Lingyue immediately teleported to the bamboo forest hot spring courtyard and decided to go in again to look for her master to see if he was still there.

Arriving at the bamboo forest, Jiang Lingyue passed through the formation with ease and sneaked into the hot spring courtyard.

She hid her body and searched carefully inside, but did not find her master.

It seems that Master should have returned to Lingyun Peak.

In order to confirm her guess, she immediately left the Bamboo Forest Hot Spring formation and then teleported back to Lingyun Peak.

After returning to the mountain, there was a full moon in the sky. Jiang Lingyue walked straight towards the courtyard where her master lived, facing the bright moonlight.

She raised her hand and knocked on the door, "Master, are you in there?"

After waiting for a while, still no one responded.

Jiang Lingyue frowned slightly. What happened? Logically, the master should be back!

She was slightly stunned, and immediately used her spiritual sense to explore the courtyard.

Master was not seen in any of the rooms in the courtyard.

However, there was still a faint trace of the Master's aura lingering in the room.

It seems that Master either came back not long ago or is in some hidden place in the courtyard.

Considering that tomorrow, the elders will be able to complete the formation.

Jiang Lingyue decided to find the person and report the important matter of catching the thief to her master in advance.

So she bravely pushed open the gate and entered the courtyard.

Relying on her profound spiritual awareness and mental power, Jiang Lingyue followed the faint scent lingering in the air and walked step by step to the outside of her master's bedroom.

Realizing the restricted formation in the bedroom, she smiled confidently and took some effort to successfully unlock it.

Entering the bedroom, it was empty, but the Master's aura seemed to be even stronger.

She was delighted and immediately searched everywhere in the bedroom.

Jiang Lingyue's gaze finally stopped at the wardrobe. She took a few steps forward and looked carefully.

Suddenly, she discovered that there was a slight dent on the wall behind the wardrobe, which seemed different from the rest.

She reached out and pressed lightly, and the floor in front of the wardrobe suddenly split in two and opened downwards.

Jiang Lingyue looked carefully and saw a dark passage under the floor.

She thought for a moment and then jumped down.

After landing, Jiang Lingyue found herself in a secret stone room.

The room was filled with a faint fragrance, and the walls were inlaid with glowing crystals, illuminating the entire space.

She looked around and saw a heavy stone door on the stone wall inside the secret room.

Jiang Lingyue walked closer to check and found that there was another hidden formation restriction in front of the stone gate.

She frowned slightly, observed carefully, and thought about how to crack it.

After a while, she finally found the center of the formation. She mobilized the spiritual power in her body and injected it into the formation, successfully breaking the formation.

Jiang Lingyue walked forward and raised her hand to turn the lamp on the stone wall next to the stone gate.

The stone door made a series of dull sounds and opened automatically, revealing a dark corridor behind it.

Jiang Lingyue stepped into the corridor, and a faint light appeared in her hand, illuminating the way ahead.

The corridor twisted and turned forward, and she moved forward cautiously.

As she walked, Jiang Lingyue suddenly heard a slight noise, like the sound of an iron chain colliding with stones.

She stopped and listened, the sound came again, becoming clearer and clearer.

Jiang Lingyue quickened her pace and walked forward.

At the end of the passage, the view suddenly opened up and a wide stone hall appeared.

Jiang Lingyue looked up and saw a man handcuffed and chained to the wall opposite her.

The man was dressed in black, with long silver hair. He lowered his head and gasped with his chest heaving violently.

"Master... Master!" Jiang Lingyue exclaimed, "You... What's wrong with you?"
