The leader of the cultivation alliance has a crush on me.

"You have no solution?" Song Ke asked anxiously.

Feng Xun glanced at Wei Fengchao and Rong Ling over there, then fixed his gaze on Song Ke's face, his expression serious: "I am not omnipotent."

After pausing, he added, "I've said it before, they will all die. It's inevitable, it's just a matter of time."

"However, since Madam Wei was the first to be killed by those demons, I think there must be something strange about this mansion."

Song Ke suddenly remembered the bandits who escorted Wei Ping into the city when he returned in triumph that day. She looked up at Feng Xun and was about to speak when Feng Xun understood what she was thinking and spoke first.

"You stay here, I'm going to check out the private prison in the Wei residence."

After Feng Xun finished speaking, he looked at Song Ke again and reminded her with some concern, "Remember, you are using an invisibility talisman now. No matter what you see or hear, do not reveal yourself."

Song Ke listened and looked at him, nodding earnestly: "I know."

Before leaving, Feng Xun added, "Find me first."

"Mmm, I'm looking for you."

Song Ke looked up at Wei Fengchao, who was crying sadly. Rong Ling, standing beside him, was comforting him with a look of self-reproach. His hands, hanging by his side, were clenched tightly, and he hated his own powerlessness.

He used to dislike Wei Fengchao and even wanted to bully her and see her cry. But when she was truly overcome with grief, he felt a tightness in his chest. He stammered, "Wei Fengchao, don't cry."

"I...I'll go and beg my father, I'll beg him to open the city gates, and I'll go with your older brother to Qiongshan to invite our royal uncle back, okay?"

Wei Fengchao was crying uncontrollably, completely shutting herself off from the outside world, unable to hear Rong Ling's words at all. Even if she did hear them, she would only feel resentment.

The person is dead; it's no use asking anyone for help.

Even if the goddess herself came, she probably wouldn't have the power to bring the dead back to life.

Song Ke watched as Wei Ping hurriedly ran back from outside. He paused as he passed Wei Fengchao, then ran even faster into the room, where a mournful wail echoed once more.

Song Ke sighed upon hearing this, feeling a sense of powerlessness rising from the depths of her heart. Life and death are truly the most uncontrollable things.

Song Ke watched as several waves of people came and went, some of them dressed in official robes, clearly imperial physicians sent from the palace. Things were always unexpected.

Suddenly, a commotion arose from the front yard. Before Song Ke could go over to see what was happening, a large number of soldiers stormed in, their menacing demeanor clearly indicating ill intent.

"By imperial decree, General Wei has colluded with bandits and endangered the capital. He shall be arrested and imprisoned immediately."

"All personnel of the Wei family are strictly prohibited from resisting; otherwise, they will be killed without exception."

Song Ke was furious, but Rong Ling reacted the fastest and stopped them, saying, "I am here. Let's see who dares to arrest anyone."

The leader was a burly general with an unfriendly face. He looked respectful, but his eyes held a hint of smugness: "Greetings, Ninth Prince."

"So the Ninth Prince is here."

Rong Ling had never liked this commander of the imperial city. He always seemed to be upright and honest, but he always liked to subtly criticize people, and he loved to tattle. After he finished speaking, he would look annoyed and realize his mistake, as if he was apologizing for his unintentional words, but in fact, he only made things worse.

Rong Ling looked at the commander and saw that he had the air of a prince. He gave a disdainful sneer and said, "So you do know that I am the Ninth Prince."

"I order you to take your men and get out of the Wei residence immediately."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the Imperial City Commander dropped all pretense of politeness: "Ninth Prince, I advise you to mind your own business and not interfere in the affairs of the Wei family. The affairs of the Wei family are decided by the Emperor. If you insist on interfering, then please forgive my rudeness."

Seeing the attitude of the Imperial City Commander, Rong Ling became even angrier: "Let's see who dares to do that."

"If you dare to touch a single person from the Wei family today, I'll fight you to the death."

To everyone's surprise, the commander of the imperial city was not afraid but laughed instead, mockingly saying, "Ninth Prince, since you are so overconfident, then don't blame me."

After saying that, he waved his hand and said loudly, "Take them all."

Rong Ling didn't expect him to actually dare to attack her. She kicked the two men away one by one. Then several more people surrounded her. Rong Ling was young, and even if she had practiced a few moves, they were just for fun. She was no match for these adults who had trained in the military camp.

He was completely suppressed and could only shout at Wei Fengchao: "Wei Fengchao, run! Go find your brother and then go find my brother!"

"Someone has rebelled."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the Imperial City Commander struck him on the back of the neck with a palm strike, knocking him unconscious.

Upon seeing this, Wei Fengchao's grief instantly turned into anger. She was about to rush over when she was pulled back by a force.

She turned around and saw a strange woman. A few seconds of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly struggled and said, "Let me go."

Song Ke sighed. She had said she wouldn't show herself, but she couldn't just stand by and watch them get into trouble. Fortunately, as soon as she saw that things weren't going well, she immediately contacted Feng Xun through the Spirit Binding Silk.

"Are you going to go and die? There are so many of them, of course we should run first."

"I'll stop them for you."

Although Song Ke herself didn't have any cultivation or martial arts skills, she had at least returned to this world. Before, she was in the form of a soul, so others couldn't see her. But after entering this illusion, she was attached to someone else's body, so others could see her even without an invisibility talisman.

Seeing her charge forward with such domineering confidence, Wei Fengchao didn't think much about whether she was really capable and turned around and ran back into the room.

When the commander of the imperial city saw Song Ke suddenly appear, his face showed surprise for a moment, with a hint of fear. He also felt that the Wei family was in chaos, and with the sudden death of Madam Wei, they would be powerless to resist. However, seeing the woman who appeared out of nowhere, he naturally assumed that she was either a demon god or a highly skilled cultivator, and was therefore somewhat of a bully who preyed on the weak.

"Who are you?"

Seeing his expression, Song Ke was surprised that he was so wary of her, so she mustered her courage and put on a show.

"You wouldn't know who I am even if I told you."

"But dealing with you is just a matter of lifting a finger. I can't stand the strong bullying the weak and the big taking advantage of the small."

"If you release this child, I won't hold it against you, okay?"

Upon hearing this, the commander of the imperial city hesitated. After all, this was the ninth prince of the Western Qiong Kingdom, and he dared not hand him over to others without authorization, especially since the people behind him had said that no one in the royal family could be touched.

So he refused: "Young lady, you probably don't know, this is our Ninth Prince. He is somewhat unruly, and we have been ordered to take him back to the palace."

"Judging from the young lady's Taoist-like demeanor, she must be someone who has transcended worldly affairs. It would be inappropriate for us to interfere without authorization."

Song Ke frowned as she listened, as if she were angry: "Are you saying I'm meddling in other people's business?"

"But I'm really going to meddle in this matter today."
