The capital, inside the underground palace.
Ye Zhuchan sat silently at the center of the altar, her hands resting on her knees, forming an odd Dharma Seal, while strands of blue-white mystical light intertwined and coiled around her like spiritual snakes.
Beside her, a Nine-tailed Fox lazily lay, its fluffy tails scattered casually on the ground.
It squinted its eyes, seemingly in a drowsy state.
Suddenly, Ye Zhuchan's tightly clasped jade fingers flicked open, making a slight "pop" sound.
The surrounding light snapped and dissipated into invisibility.
Ye Zhuchan abruptly opened her eyes.
"What happened?"
The Nine-tailed Demon Fox, startled by the sudden disturbance, quickly asked.
Ye Zhuchan frowned: "It's strange, I can't sense Jiang's Water Moon Dream Mirror."
"Could it be that the dream mirror test has started?"
The Nine-tailed Demon Fox said.
Ye Zhuchan shook her delicate head: "It shouldn't be so soon, besides, Qingchen hasn't fully succumbed to evil."
