The person making the prayer this time is named Qi Mushan, who is the master of Shan Gudao and Li Xiangyi.
At a crucial moment in his secluded training, Qi Mushan was informed by the well-prepared Shan Gudao of the devastating news that Li Xiangyi had been seriously injured and fallen into the East Sea. Overwhelmed with anger and anxiety, Qi Mushan's internal energy went astray, causing him to suffer a qi deviation and become possessed.
So he passed on all his skills to Shan Gudao, instructing him to go to the East Sea to rescue Li Xiangyi, and then died when his life force was exhausted.
Because he was worried about his young apprentice, his soul did not leave immediately; he wanted to see with his own eyes whether Xiang Yi was safe.
That stay lasted for ten years.
He saw Li Xiangyi betrayed, tormented by the poison of Bi Cha, and afflicted with illness, transforming from Li Xiangyi into Li Lianhua.
He saw that Shan Gu Dao harbored wolfish ambitions, posed a threat to the martial arts world, and intended to overthrow the world.
Li Lianhua thwarted Shan Gudao's plot, and in the end, Li Lianhua forgave everyone except Li Xiangyi.
Seeing his beloved apprentice suffer so much, the once spirited young man became disheartened, and Old Man Qi was heartbroken.
He said, "Help me clean house and save Xiang Yi. I, this old man, only have one request for him: eat and drink well and live freely."
"make a deal."
East China Sea.
A boy dressed in a white outfit and with his hair tied in a high ponytail walked unsteadily and listlessly along the coast, as if he would collapse at any moment.
The boy's white clothes were stained with blood, and there were bloodstains on his face. It was clear that he had been seriously injured. His neatly tied hair was now messy, with stray hairs hanging down at his temples and fluttering along with the ribbons on both sides of his sleeves.
Even though he was covered in a mess, you could still tell that the boy was handsome and had an outstanding presence.
However, he was extremely weak at this moment, and his once arrogant and bright eyes had become dull and lifeless.
This person was none other than Li Xiangyi, who was poisoned by Bi Cha in Shan Gu Dao's mouth and then fell into the East Sea.
In order to find his senior brother Shan Gudao's remains, Li Xiangyi was filled with rage and fought Di Feisheng to the death, but at the critical moment, Bi Cha's poison took effect.
Of course, the number one swordsman in the martial arts world was no pushover either. Even when poisoned, he still fought desperately to shoot down the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance's warship and nailed Di Feisheng to the mast.
In the end, the two of them, along with the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance's warship, crashed into the East China Sea, and neither of them came out unscathed.
Li Xiangyi did not die from the poison at sea; the unparalleled Yangzhou slow internal energy protected his heart meridian, giving him a glimmer of hope.
After escaping death, he immediately returned to Sigumen, only to find it in ruins and filled with complaints.
"It was all because the sect leader was arrogant and self-important, and acted arbitrarily, that fifty-eight brothers in the sect died tragically, and the Sigu Sect suffered heavy losses."
Both Si Gu Men and Jin Yuan Meng suffered heavy losses, and his former loyal subordinates now placed all the blame on him.
He stood outside the door, covered in wounds, listening to their arguments and excuses, the implication being that Li Xiangyi was dead and the Sigumen should be disbanded.
No one even went to look for his body.
He also saw the breakup letter written to him by his beloved Ah-Mian, realizing how emotionally draining it was for her to be with him.
With nowhere else to go, Li Xiangyi returned to the East Sea, severely injured.
The boy was filled with confusion and fear. Was it all his fault?
The poison from the green tea flared up again, and Li Xiangyi coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed on the shore.
Li Xiangyi, the once powerful and unruly leader of the Si Gu Sect, lay alone on the sand, his white clothes covered in blood and mud.
None of his subordinates, his good brothers, or the girl he loved came to find him.
The next second, an old man with a gourd of wine hanging from his waist appeared on the spot.
Qi An looked at the person lying on the ground and said, "Tsk, this kid is in a bad state."
Fu Gui sighed, "I heard from Old Man Qi that his little apprentice is very vain and pays great attention to his image. He's probably never been this disheveled before."
Qi An waved his hand and put Li Xiangyi into his spatial storage: "Let's go back to Yunyin Mountain first."
"Sister An'an, there's a large group of people over there, they seem to be looking for someone," Fugui reminded her.
Although it's said to be over there, it's actually very, very far away. However, Qi An and Fu Gui's eyesight is far beyond that of ordinary people.
Looking over, Qi An saw a beautiful woman in red leading a large group of people searching in the sea.
"Search carefully, you all. Even if you have to turn the entire East China Sea upside down, you must find His Majesty, or I will make you all pay with your lives."
"Yes, Holy Maiden."
Even from that distance, one could feel the woman's anxiety and worry. Her expression was obsessive and frantic, her beautiful eyes searching everywhere, as if afraid of missing the person she was looking for.
Qi An understood: "It's the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance's Holy Maiden, Jiao Liqiao. They're looking for Di Feisheng."
Fu Gui scoffed, "Heh, everyone says the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance is a demonic sect. They both lost their leader, and the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance searched the entire East China Sea for Di Feisheng. What is the Four Gazes Sect, which is known as the leader of the righteous path, doing?"
"They're busy shifting blame, busy smearing him, busy disbanding the Sigumen sect, but nobody's come to confirm whether Li Xiangyi is really dead or not."
Li Xiangyi emerged from the sea, walked back to Sigu Gate, read the letter in his room, and then walked back to the East Sea alone, where he collapsed. No one noticed him during this time.
Qi An shook his head: "I never even intended to look for them. If you ask me, what kind of righteous path is this? There are plenty of hypocrites who are all sanctimonious. They're not even as good as the Demonic Sect. At least they're openly evil and admit they're no good."
Over there, the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance's men finally found Di Feisheng.
“His Excellency is there, His Excellency.”
Jiao Liqiao hurriedly looked over and, sure enough, it was the sound of flute flying!
His face was pale, and blood was still seeping from his wounds. He was on the verge of death, but he was still tightly gripping his knife in his hand.
Jiao Liqiao was overjoyed; her heart was finally at ease.
"Great! His Majesty is still alive! Quick, get His Majesty out of here!"
"yes."
Just as everyone was about to rescue their leader, a figure moved with lightning speed, scooped up Di Feisheng, and flew ashore.
Jiao Liqiao looked over in a fit of rage. Who was so bold as to snatch someone from her hands?
Her gaze settled on a rather shady-looking old man with gray hair and a gourd of wine hanging from his waist.
Jiao Liqiao's expression turned sinister: "Who's courting death? If you know what's good for you, release them right now."
Qi An held the flute in his hand and with a flick of his finger, sent the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance members who tried to snatch it flying.
Jiao Liqiao was shocked. How amazing! She couldn't see how the old man made his move at all. Could there really be such a master in the martial arts world?
Qi An placed his hand on Di Feisheng's vital point: "Do you want Di Feisheng to live?"
Qi Mushan has lived in seclusion in Yunyin Mountain for many years, so Jiao Liqiao does not know him. However, with Di Feisheng in that person's hands, she dares not make any rash moves.
Jiao Liqiao suppressed her murderous intent: "Who exactly are you? As long as you release him, you can make any demands you have."
Fu Gui said, "Putting everything else aside, although Jiao Liqiao is a madwoman, she is truly madly in love with Di Feisheng."
Qi An looked at Jiao Liqiao and curled his lips: "You dare to ask who I am after harming my child? If you don't want Di Feisheng to die, then exchange him for the Wangchuan Flower and the head of Yun Biqiu."
"The Forget-River Flower? The poison of the Jade Tea... Li Xiangyi is still alive!" Jiao Liqiao's eyes widened suddenly: "Who are you to him?"
"Li Xiangyi's master is Qi Mushan."
After saying that, Qi An picked up his flute and flew up, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
