The Spiritual Liege was left shaken, but not as much as Bai Mei Ling. She had just been killed, and yet she was now back in the land of the living. Just a few feet away, she could see her former head, with its eyes looking back at her with the fear of death shining through. She looked into its eyes, and they looked back at him. The head was dead, but she was alive. The Spiritual Liege went on full alert, his Immortal qi surging through his meridians at full power, ready to be used in an instant. He could not make head or tail of what was happening. Kai Syaoran continued watching; he had nothing to do with what was happening, but he knew why and how it was happening.
