This scene opens with the sound of a thump. It's the voice of Yixuan. He's shouting at the top of his lungs that it's his master, the xia leader. He has set up a trap formation for him, but he can't get his feet up. He says that he spent half of his money on the formation, and that he's not going to hurt anyone. He also says that his wife is a disciple at the academy, so he won't harm her, but that he is a threat to the family. He tells her that he will kill her, and she will go to hell. She says that she is a genius, but she's from the family that controls the soul realm. She's also the one who controls the power of the spiritual realm, so she doesn't need to worry about cultivating the soul herself. She tells him that she'll spare him for the sake of shanlan.
