Su Jinhuan realized that things could not go on like this. To defeat the masked man, she had to find his weakness. She took out the Late Emperor's Edict once more, hoping to find a solution within it. Suddenly, she spotted a pattern on the document that looked remarkably similar to the one on the masked man's attire. A thought sparked in her mind: she suspected this pattern was his Achilles' heel.
After consulting with Pei Mingyuan and the Daoist Priest, they decided to employ a feint. While Pei Mingyuan and the Daoist Priest drew the masked man's attention, Su Jinhuan looked for an opportunity to strike the pattern. Under the pressure of their combined assault, the masked man grew increasingly distracted. Seizing the moment, Su Jinhuan used her lightness skills to dart behind him, the Qingluan Mirror in her hand flaring with a sudden, brilliant light that she directed straight at the pattern.
The masked man sensed the danger and tried to dodge, but it was too late. The light from the Qingluan Mirror struck the pattern, and he let out a wretched scream as his power seemed to drain away rapidly. Su Jinhuan and the others seized the chance and launched a coordinated attack. Unable to hold out any longer, the masked man collapsed to the ground. His mask fell away, revealing an aged face. Su Jinhuan stepped closer and was shocked to discover that the masked man was an elder of the Western Regions Imperial Family.
