"Before 'Vast Mist' left, he said that 'Vast Mist,' Qiao Ciguang, and Si Hong Qingyan would have to walk the Road of No Return if they wanted to leave You Su Fen.
By now, both 'Vast Mist' and Qiao Ciguang had fulfilled that requirement. Only Si Hong Qingyan remained.
Since that was the case, Pei Ling would use a duplicate to take her place and make the journey...
After all, he only needed to give the other two taboos an explanation.

Having arranged everything, Pei Ling looked toward Chongming Sect again. After confirming that Senior Sister Li, Si Hong Miaoli, Su Xirou, and Hua Yurán were all fine, he nodded slightly.
But when he saw that neither Patriarch 'Fu Qiong' nor Patriarch 'Xīng Hèn' was in the Inheritance Hall, his brow furrowed at once.
The last time he had asked Patriarch 'Xīng Hèn' about overcoming tribulation, he had learned that the patriarchs had been occupied with something lately.

After he spoke, Pei Ling waited a moment. All around him, towering waves surged and currents roared, but no one answered.
Seeing this, he did not hesitate. Two duplicates of himself appeared at his sides, then immediately transformed into the likenesses of Patriarch 'Fu Qiong' and Patriarch 'Xīng Hèn.'
Pei Ling spoke again, his voice gentle. "'Senior Fu Qiong, Senior Xīng Hèn.'"
The two duplicates beside him answered at the same time, "What is it?"
