Oh my god, this is a bolt from the blue! A true heiress of metaphysics!

"Qingyun has been captured!" The people who arrived later were shocked to see Master Qingyun tightly bound with talismans. Their mouths were agape for a long time.

"Wait a moment!" An old Taoist priest stopped the others from entering the courtyard.

"What's wrong, Master Qingchuan?"

The others were all shocked to see Master Qingchuan stop them.

The Qingyun Master they had been chasing for many years was right in front of them, and he had already been captured. Although they didn't know who he was, this was definitely a good opportunity!

"Please take a look around!" Master Qingchuan was the first to notice the unusual situation in the courtyard.

Hearing his words, the group looked around curiously, wondering what Master Qingchuan was up to!

"It's a formation!"

A woman exclaimed, "If I'm not mistaken, it's a Spirit-Severing Array!"

"The Spirit-Severing Array?"

Master Qingchuan was also shocked: "Daoist Yunlu, are you sure you didn't see wrong?!"

He wasn't questioning Master Yunlu's words, after all, she was a renowned master of formations; he was simply too shocked.

After all, in his memory, the method of setting up the Spirit-Severing Array had disappeared for hundreds of years!

"I can't be mistaken!"

Master Yunlu said with a determined look, "I wonder which fellow Daoist set up this formation! If only I could make their acquaintance..."

"Never mind who set this up!"

At this moment, someone interrupted their shock and said, "Let's talk about how to break the formation first. We can't let Qingyun get away again!"

“Yes!” The group turned their attention back to the disheveled Master Qingyun.

Qingyun, realizing he couldn't escape, simply closed his eyes and ignored them.

For Master Yunlu, although the Spirit-Slaying Formation had long been lost, the method to break it was still recorded in the book.

Before long, Daoist Yunlu broke the formation, and the group entered the courtyard.

As soon as Master Yunlu entered, he eagerly went to Master Qingyun and asked, "Qingyun! Who was fighting with you just now?! Tell me quickly!"

Master Qingyun was simply sealed in place by the talisman and did not give them any reaction.

"Look at these talismans!" another person exclaimed. "They're high-grade talismans! And they used so many! What a waste!"

"What?!" The crowd erupted in excitement once again.

They began to observe Master Qingyun, marveling at his abilities and secretly lamenting that he was unworthy of using so many high-level talismans.

Master Qingyun: "......"

"Are you guys done yet?!"

Master Qingyun could no longer contain himself. So many people were staring at him like he was a monkey; it was an utter disgrace!

"Kill me or torture me, it's up to you!" he said through gritted teeth.

"Look at you, why are you so angry?"

Master Yunlu said with a smile, "We just wanted to ask who the person you were fighting earlier was. I don't think you'd be so stingy as to refuse to tell us, Qingyun?"

Master Qingyun snorted coldly. He opened his mouth, about to say Shi Xiaxia's name.

But then he thought, he's already been arrested and might even be executed, so why should he say anything?!

Shi Xiaxia is so capable, it's best if she's not used by the department!

Therefore, Master Qingyun finally shut his mouth and stopped speaking.

Master Qingchuan and Daoist Yunlu tried to ask him several more times, but seeing that he still had no intention of speaking, they had no choice but to give up for the time being.

After discussing it for a while, the group took out their magical artifacts and tied Master Qingyun up tightly before taking him away with peace of mind.

After the others left, Shi Xiaxia waited until there was no more movement before emerging from her hiding place.

She had thought that Master Qingyun would reveal her name and hiding place, and that she would inevitably have to deal with these people.

Although she didn't know why he didn't say, Shi Xiaxia had no intention of investigating further.

She had been guarding the place for several days and had also fought with Master Qingyun. She was exhausted and went straight back to the villa to rest.

......

The news of Master Qingyun's arrest spread throughout the entire department immediately.

The metaphysicians who were resting after completing their missions all rushed to the department to join in the fun after learning about it.

Many people in the metaphysical community know about Master Qingyun's deeds.

According to seniority, he was also Master Qingchuan's uncle. The two belonged to the Qingcheng Sect. Master Qingyun was also revered by metaphysicians.

However, his pursuit of immortality had reached a pathological level, and he had done many heinous things.

After the sect discovered this, they wanted to expel the culprits, but Master Qingyun escaped.

Later, the Qingcheng Sect and relevant departments continued to search for Master Qingyun's whereabouts, but they were unable to catch him.

The fact that Master Qingyun was able to be captured this time was thanks to the person he fought, but Master Qingyun didn't explain who he was fighting.

This left all the metaphysicians in the department scratching their heads in frustration.

After learning that Master Qingyun had been arrested, Feng Youdao rushed back to join in the trouble.

As soon as he entered the department, he heard people talking about things like "Spirit-Slaying Array" and "Advanced Talisman Paper." Feng Youdao was taken aback, and a figure immediately popped into his mind.

Could it be... that this matter is related to her?!

Feng Youdao ignored them and went to the minister's office. The office was packed with people, all talking at once, speculating about who was fighting Master Qingyun.

Feng Youdao squeezed his way to the front with great effort. After looking at the high-grade talisman paper on the table, he immediately revealed a meaningful smile.

His smile did not escape Qingchuan Shangren's notice, and Qingchuan Shangren immediately stood up and asked, "Old Feng, do you recognize this talisman?! Do you know who the owner of this talisman is?!"

As soon as Master Qingchuan asked his question, the people who were discussing excitedly fell silent.

They all turned their gazes to Feng Youdao, looking at him with burning eyes, as if they had seen an unparalleled beauty.

Even the minister, who hadn't spoken until now, looked up at Feng Youdao, though there was no curiosity in his eyes.

Seeing that the minister wasn't curious, Feng Youdao felt a little strange, but not too strange.

The minister's abilities are unfathomable; even if I already knew, there's nothing to be curious about.

After thinking this through, Feng Youdao prepared to look away.

But as his gaze swept across the table, he noticed an employment application. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was Shi Xiaxia's employment application!

It seems the minister really did know all along!

Feng Youdao glanced at the minister again before adopting a mysterious expression and slowly nodding, acknowledging that he knew the owner of the talisman.

"You old man Feng!"

Master Yunlu was so anxious she was practically fuming. She slammed her hand on the table and shouted, "Tell me who that person is!"
