Shangguan Shīdi, how's it going?

Fu Changling stared at Qin Yan, dazed. He had never imagined Qin Yan uttering such words. Qin Yan, unable to suppress his concern, reminded him, "Killing mortals is a serious transgression."

"I know!" Looking at him, Qin Yan found it difficult to speak. "But I'm the only one here."

Shangguan Mingyan was still unconscious, and there were only the two of them present. As long as Qin Yan stayed silent, nobody else would be aware of what had transpired today.

Fu Changling looked at Qin Yan in astonishment, and Qin Yan reached out to him. In his usually sober and calm eyes, there lingered a hint of both apprehension and longing, barely contained.

Fu Changling tightened his grip on his sword, and in that instant, he suddenly felt all the despair and pain in his heart gradually dissipating. It was as if there was someone else sharing his burden, giving him the strength to face his anguish without fear.

He uttered hoarsely, "Shīxiōng."

"Come back," Qin Yan's voice softened. "Changling, I'll always be there for you."

The moment his voice faded, Fu Changling dashed back to Qin Yan and embraced him tightly.

Qin Yan found himself wrapped in a tight embrace by Fu Changling. After hesitating for a moment, he awkwardly lifted his arms and reciprocated the hug in a naive manner, whispering softly, "It's alright now; don't be scared."

The two remained embraced in silence for a while. Fu Changling's emotions gradually eased, and he took a deep breath before saying, "Shīxiōng, you should take a breather first. I'll seal the spiritual energy channel here and join you shortly."

Qin Yan simply replied, "Alright."

After that, Fu Changling helped Qin Yan sit down and set up a barrier around both Qin Yan and Shangguan Mingyan before returning to the previous coffin chamber.

The fire in the coffin chamber was still blazing, but with a flick of Fu Changling's sleeve, it slowly died down.

Under the onslaught of Fu Changling's wrathful fire, the puppets had already been reduced to a heap of charcoal. Stepping over the debris, Fu Changling proceeded into the chamber, making his way toward the area around the stone bed.

This stone bed marked the location where the third spiritual energy channel was sealed. Back then, those Fu Clan cultivators likely detected the presence of this spiritual energy channel. Owing to the formidable barrier and Lin Chen's prowess, they chose not to directly force their way into Taiping Town to kill her. Instead, they instructed the common people to find a way to bring Lin Chen to this spiritual energy channel and use it to absorb Lin Chen's spiritual energy.

However, unbeknownst to them, this spot where spiritual energy was absorbed was not a natural occurrence but rather a portal to another realm. In a stroke of luck, the Karma Prison absorbed Lin Chen's spiritual energy, enabling it to interact with this realm. So while Yue Sinan stayed here mourning for Lin Chen, her lingering resentment was detected by the people of the Karma Prison, leading to a connection being established with Yue Sinan from that moment onward.

Fu Changling reflected on what happened back then and couldn't help but find it ridiculous. He took out the sealing formation diagram drawn by Jiang Yebai from his spirit pouch. This formation, infused with the spiritual energy of a Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivator, combined with Fu Changling's own spiritual energy and the Spirit-Gathering Pagoda, enabled him to swiftly seal the third formation.
