"I cannot leave unless the others are free from the prism." Gao Lan Mei noted, silently confirming the deacon's question. Her answer also silently stated that she needs to be with them if they really want to leave.

Since she can control the treasure freely, there is, of course, a certain way to hide the presence of beings so they can leave without the enemies noticing.

It should be good to also use these escape option for the others that are within the Shizi Empire.

Then Gao Lan Mei concerned. 'How are they?' She thought to herself. Xiao Shi was not able to report how the others are fairing or where they are at that moment.

Did the YinYings already find them?

Gao Lan Mei is also considering the possibility that they were captured too. That is because, despite the Shizi Empire surrounded by her purification defense walls, there is still no guarantee that the rest will be safe against the enemy.

There are a lot of things to worry about, but the most important is to keep as many beings as possible alive!

For her, it is already a miracle how she was able to tamper on the control of the treasure.

Gao Lan Mei only tried it earlier as a last resort since she does not have another choice, but never expected that not only was she able to stop the attacks that the guardian of the mirror had done but also the whole space seems to allow her with the full control of things.

Until what extent though and for how long?

Is she the official guardian now?

Can she take ownership even if she wants to get out of this treasure?

Cuojue is still a very big help to them regardless, but Gao Lan Mei needs to get back to her body!

She does not want to entertain or even consider the idea that she does not have a physical form!

Despite the true treasure guardian spirit still within her body, Cuojue cannot really do anything to them while the golden net is trapping her, there is really no difference even if she is not.

The injuries that she had acquired after all of the things that she had done recently, Gao Lan Mei is not confident that she can cure herself for a short period of time.

On the other hand, if Gao Lan Mei got her body back, there's still the possibility that Cuojue will immediately act against them again after gaining the control back from the treasure.

The Gao Miss body is currently useless, she still prefers it than being a wandering spirit that is trapped inside a mirror.

That is probably the only downside of her situation. Gao Lan Mei can see everything, but cannot still get out of the mirror where Cuojue had placed her.

If Cuojue probably did not forcefully pushed her to her current situation, she probably would help this guardian spirit. Gao Lan Mei will still ponder more about this later on.

Gao Lan Mei is also worried not only those inside the prism but also those that are still hiding within the Shizi Empire.

"Ms. Gao, you are not going to commit suicide are you?" Sung Zhi Ruo cannot help but ask as the situation is not looking good for them.

She understands Gao Lan Mei as well if she wants to solve the issue with the prisms especially when her own people are also inside it.

"No. Don't bother to answer that question." Sung Zhi Ruo added helplessly after looking at 'Gao Lan Mei' that is currently trapped under the golden net.

Sung Zhi Ruo looked at Cuojue with eyes bright with a smirk on her beautiful face that does not fit to someone who had lost something very important. However, no one, even Gao Lan Mei saw the weird look on her face as it quickly vanished replacing an expression of indifference.

At that time, Sung Zhi Ruo decided to count her gains and not her loss.

How can a clan young miss consider losing a very important treasure, that will surely earn her punishment from her own family merits any gains? Sung Zhi Ruo is the only one who knows.

"Release me!" Cuojue shouted again, after a while of rest. She will never admit defeat. "Release me or your wraith will really lose her soul completely!"

"Pang!"

Cuojue felt herself almost losing consciousness, due to the slap given by Yen Mingjue. Her ears are ringing still from the pain.

"Shut up!" Yen Mingjue hissed as he allowed his hound's paw pressed Cuojue face further to the ground.

Guardian Spirits are not governed by Underworld as they are not a real existence thus as much as he wants to kill the Cuojue, it will just give her the chance to escape!
