Li Wanji asked in confusion: "What happened to Ximen Qing?"

Bai Muyun sighed softly: "Since he confessed his crime and was executed, we found that his mind was controlled by a secret method. This secret method is strange, and we tried various methods, but we couldn't crack it."

Li Wanji frowned: "Controlling the mind? Could it be Cang Yuan's doing?"

Bai Muyun nodded: "It is very likely. Cang Yuan is proficient in various unorthodox methods. This secret method of controlling the mind is likely to come from him."

"And I suspect that the four major ghost king families are all controlled by him in the same way. This can explain why they follow Cang Yuan so wholeheartedly."

"No wonder Nangong Jue refused to give in just now," Li Wanji murmured, "It turns out that they have all become Cang Yuan's puppets."

Bai Muyun looked worried: "Yes, even if we capture the four ghost king families, we can't use them for our own purposes."

Li Wanji pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "Perhaps, we can try to find a breakthrough from Ximen Qing."

Bai Muyun looked at her: "What do you mean?"

Li Wanji's eyes flashed with determination: "I will try to enter his mind and find a way to remove the control."

Bai Muyun was shocked: "This is too dangerous! If you are not careful, your mind may be trapped in it, or even damaged."

Li Wanji smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know my limits. Besides, there is no better way now, right?"

Bai Muyun was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "Then be careful, I will protect you by your side."

Li Wanji walked to the barrier, took a deep breath, and then slowly stretched out her hands to touch the barrier. She closed her eyes and began to try to establish a mental connection with Ximen Qing.

This process requires extremely high concentration and mental strength. Any slight mistake may result in all previous efforts being wasted, or even backfire on oneself.

However, Li Wanji possesses the golden-level talent "Zhuang Sheng Xiao Meng", which gives her a unique advantage in mental power and dream control. This is why she dared to try to enter Ximen Qingxinshen.

Time passed minute by minute, and beads of sweat appeared on Li Wanji's forehead. It was obvious that this process was not easy.

After a period of chaos, she saw the world deep inside Ximen Qing's heart.

It was a desolate battlefield filled with smoke and corpses. Ximen Qing stood alone in the center of the battlefield, his eyes empty and confused.

"Ximen Qing——"

Li Wanji tried to call him with her mental power, but her voice was so weak in this desolate battlefield and was almost drowned out by the whistling wind.

She was unwilling to give up and raised her voice again, "Ximen Qing! Can you hear me?"

Finally, Ximen Qing's body shook slightly, and he slowly turned around and looked in the direction of Li Wanji.

"Who are you?" His voice was hoarse and low, as if he had not spoken for a long time.

"Ximen Qing, have you forgotten me?" Li Wanji's heart sank suddenly. She looked at Ximen Qing's confused eyes and knew that he was being controlled quite deeply.

Li Wanji had no choice but to transform every bit of their time together in Fengquan into a stream of spiritual information and pass it on to Ximen Qing. She hoped that these memories could awaken his consciousness, even if only for a moment.

As the memories flooded in, Ximen Qing's pupils contracted slightly, and his eyes regained some clarity, but were quickly replaced by confusion and chaos, and he covered his head in pain.

"Miss Li... is it you? Yu Qing... I seem to remember you, but it seems very vague..."

Li Wanji was delighted. The fact that Ximen Qing was able to start recalling things showed that her method was effective.

"Yes, I am Li Wanji, and Yuqing is our child."

Li Wanji's voice is extremely gentle, like a clear spring in an ancient well, which can soothe people's restlessness.

"Take your time to think about it. Don't be in a hurry..."

Ximen Qing had an extremely strong will. Even under Cang Yuan's control, he still tried to stay a little lucid.

At this moment, under Li Wanji's gentle guidance, he began to gradually break free from the dark fog that bound his spirit...

However, at this moment, an extremely domineering force suddenly emerged, severely impacting the fragile mental connection between Li Wanji and Ximen Qing.

This force is cold and powerful, as if it wants to tear apart all outsiders.

Ximen Qing's face turned pale instantly, he clenched his teeth and tried to resist the erosion of that force. However, that force was too strong, and his resistance seemed so insignificant.

Li Wanji only felt a sharp pain in her head, as if hit by a sledgehammer. She couldn't help but groan, and her face turned pale instantly.

"Is this... the power of Cang Yuan?" Li Wanji exclaimed.

Bai Muyun was also extremely anxious when he saw this scene from the outside world. He wanted to help, but he didn't know where to start, because he couldn't intervene in this kind of battle at the mental level.

The dark power grew stronger and stronger, as if it was about to swallow up the entire cell.

Ximen Qing had completely lost the ability to resist. His eyes began to blur, as if he might collapse at any moment.

Li Wanji knew that if this continued, not only would Ximen Qing's mind completely collapse, but her own mind would also be seriously damaged.

She must find a way to break free from this power, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

At this moment, she suddenly remembered something, and began to mobilize the spiritual power in her body to condense into her magic weapon, the Phantom Feather Sword, and slashed fiercely at the dark force.

"what--"

Li Wanji let out a low roar and cut off the power with a sword.

Suddenly, the dark power in the cell dissipated instantly, and Ximen Qing and Li Wanji both felt relieved.

They successfully broke free from the power and regained control of their minds.

Li Wanji was breathing heavily, looking at Ximen Qing who had collapsed on the ground, feeling a sense of fear in her heart.

Bai Muyun realized that he had escaped danger, so he immediately rushed into the cell, helped Li Wanji up, and asked with concern: "Wanji, are you okay?"

Li Wanji shook her head: "I'm fine. I'm just a little exhausted."

She struggled to stand up, walked to Ximen Qing, and helped him up: "What about you? How do you feel?"

Ximen Qing smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I'm fine. I just feel a little dizzy and need to rest."

"Don't move yet," Li Wanji said, "I'll help you adjust it."

She stretched out her hand, placed it on Ximen Qing's vest, and began to slowly input spiritual power into him to help him calm his mind.

Soon, Ximen Qing's complexion recovered a lot.

"There is a mind-concentrating pill in here. You will feel much better after taking it." Li Wanji took out a porcelain bottle from the space ring and handed it to Ximen Qing.

Ximen Qing took the porcelain bottle, poured out a pill and swallowed it, then sat cross-legged and began to regulate his breathing.

After about an hour, Ximen Qing opened his eyes and exhaled.

His eyes had regained clarity, and he had obviously escaped Cang Yuan's control.
