116. Chapter 116: A Sorrowful Experience

Facing Zhao Qian, who threw herself onto him and cried bitterly, Li Yi was stunned for a moment.

He didn't expect Zhao Qian's emotional fluctuations to be so great. She couldn't control her emotions on Ghost Street, where danger was everywhere. She cried as soon as they met, and looking at this appearance, her emotions were very wrong. It wasn't the joy of reunion, but rather a kind of sorrowful grief of a heart that had died.

What happened during this period of time to make Zhao Qian so sad?

Li Yi wanted to ask.

But he soon noticed that Zhao Qian's behavior immediately attracted the attention of some ghosts nearby. Many creepy gazes looked over here one after another, and even some figures were slowly approaching. Fortunately, both of them were disguised, covering up most of the living person's breath, otherwise, the trouble would be even greater.

"Miss Zhao, this is not a place to talk, let's leave here quickly."

Li Yi's Spirit Inspiration warned him, smelling the approach of danger. He hurriedly pulled Zhao Qian, who was crying, and ran toward the depths of the small alley quickly.

Avoiding most of the human figures on Ghost Street, the danger was much less.

Then Li Yi stopped in a quiet corner of the small alley, and after confirming that nothing followed, he asked in a low voice: "Miss Zhao, I saw you in a dream when I was sleeping today. Someone interpreted the dream for me, saying that this was you using the dream-entrusting method to contact me, so I rushed to Ghost Street immediately. But as soon as we met, why are you so sad? Did something happen?"

"You calm down first, don't be afraid, I'm here for everything."

He comforted Zhao Qian, letting her emotions stabilize.

Zhao Qian's eyes were red from crying, and she wiped her tears: "Brother Yi, Father... Father, something happened to him. Many people were chasing and killing us. Junior brothers and senior sisters died a lot. There were corpses all along the way. We had no way to escape. Finally, Father chose to let me enter Ghost Street again, coming to rely on Brother Yi..."

Speaking of this, her tears couldn't help but fall again.

"Something happened to Master? How could this be? When we met last time, Master was still fine. Don't be in a hurry, tell me slowly." Li Yi's face changed drastically, and he realized the seriousness of the problem.

Zhao Qian wiped her tears again, let her emotions calm down a little, and then told the whole story: "It's like this. After parting with Brother Yi on Ghost Street last time, Father and I returned to Xingzhou with the coffin fungus and returned to the martial arts hall. Originally, everything went very smoothly. As a result, I and several junior brothers were careless when preparing medicine for Father, and the news leaked out, letting people know that Father's soul was injured and his strength had declined. Later, that hateful beast betrayed Father and stole the coffin fungus."

Speaking of this, she gritted her teeth, and hatred burst out from her eyes, wishing she could cut that traitor into a thousand pieces.

"Without the coffin fungus, Father's injury couldn't heal, so many of our senior sisters and junior brothers searched the whole city for that traitor... But I don't know what happened, after that, many people in the city suddenly attacked us. Some senior brothers were surrounded and killed on the street, some junior brothers had their heads cut off at night, and some senior sisters were caught in the cattle shed and played to death. Everyone seemed to be targeting me, they wanted to destroy our Zhao Martial Arts Hall."

Recalling the tragic deaths of those senior sisters and junior brothers, Zhao Qian cried again.

Li Yi couldn't help but clench his fists when he heard these words. From these few words, he could feel the sorrow and despair at that time.

"Then what?" He took a deep breath, let himself calm down, and continued to ask.

Zhao Qian continued, her eyes full of sorrow and grief: "Father was powerless and could only take the remaining few junior brothers and senior sisters and me to escape the city, preparing to leave Xingzhou and seek another way out... But there were too many people chasing and killing us, wave after wave. Several junior brothers died, and two senior sisters also died. Finally, only the eldest senior sister Rong Niang and the youngest junior brother Shou Hou were left. Even Father was seriously injured and fainted several times. In the last time Father was awake, he chose to take Rong Niang and Shou Hou to lure away the enemies chasing and killing us, letting me go to a village to find a god-mother, so that I could use the dream-entrusting technique to find Brother Yi on Ghost Street."

"So that's it, it's like this." Li Yi's eyes were burning with anger.

He didn't expect that Master and Zhao Qian had experienced such tragic things during this period of time. Betrayal by those around them, being surrounded and killed by the whole city, fleeing for their lives... Finally, a large martial arts hall was killed and injured, and only Zhao Qian escaped into Ghost Street and barely survived.

If he didn't come to Ghost Street to receive her, Zhao Qian would also have to die.

Either she died on Ghost Street, or she died on the road of fleeing Xingzhou.

It's just that Xingzhou in the Four Seas and Eight Continents, what kind of place is it? Master was only injured, and he was targeted by everyone in the city. They killed people to silence them, and divided up a good martial arts hall like sharks smelling blood.

Li Yi, who grew up in the old city of Tianchang City, although life was hard, at least order could be maintained, and basic survival could be guaranteed to a certain extent.

And in Xingzhou, that place seems to be a world that truly eats people.

The law of the jungle, there is no reason to speak of.

Li Yi didn't feel the customs and practices there, but he could feel the cruelty and darkness from Zhao Qian's words.

"Wait, you said Master helped you lure away the people chasing and killing you. When did this happen?" Suddenly, Li Yi thought of something and asked suddenly.

"It happened last night."

Zhao Qian looked at Li Yi with those red and swollen eyes. Unfortunately, separated by the mask, she couldn't see Li Yi's face, only seeing that in the hole of the mask, there was a pair of cold eyes, flashing with light.

"Last night, until tonight, only one day has passed. That is to say, Master might not have been killed yet. If we rush over, it is entirely possible to save Master." Li Yi said seriously at this moment.

Zhao Qian's dim eyes immediately shone with light, and a hope surged into her heart: "Is, is this really possible?"

But immediately after, she shook her head repeatedly: "No, I can't drag Brother Yi into the water. We have already lost many senior brothers and junior brothers. If Brother Yi also has an accident, then even if Father dies, it will be hard to close his eyes. I cannot violate Father's will. Father said, if I can find Brother Yi on Ghost Street, I will live well with Brother Yi in the future, at least the bloodline of the Zhao family will not be broken, and the inheritance of the Zhao family's martial arts will not be broken."

She is alive, not just simply alive, but also carrying many things.

It is precisely because of this pressure that Zhao Qian survived, otherwise, she would have chosen to face the pursuers with her father long ago.

Li Yi said immediately: "You can't think like this. Master might be on the road of fleeing now. If we rush over now, perhaps everything will have a turning point. If we do nothing, then Master and your senior sisters and junior brothers will really be dead."

Zhao Qian's face changed uncertainly. She was very eager to save her father, but she was also afraid that she would implicate Li Yi. If the two of them went to save people and failed, and were killed instead, it would be even more desperate.

"No, the strength of the pursuers is very strong. How long have you been practicing fist, Brother Yi? You are not their opponent. Going there will be of no help. Brother Yi, I know you care about Father and want to save him, but I can't be ignorant anymore. Because of a moment of impulse, all the last efforts made by Father will be in vain."

She bit her lip, and sorrow flashed in her eyes: "And now Father might have already been killed..."

The experience during this period of time made Zhao Qian grow up. She was no longer as naive as before, and after having things to carry, she also knew how to consider the overall situation and understand how to give up.

Li Yi pondered for a while at this moment, and said: "I have a mud horse in my hand. As long as I drop blood on it, it can send the user to the side of the relative. If Master is still alive, the mud horse can take us to find Master. If Master has really been killed, then the mud horse will change the target and send you to the side of other relatives. Even if you go to Xingzhou, you won't enter a dangerous place, at most it's just a wasted trip."

"And you don't have to worry about my strength. I carry weapons in my hand and can deal with some situations."

As he said, he patted the sniper rifle on his back.

This thing can shoot and kill extraordinary creatures. He didn't believe that a martial artist of flesh and blood could withstand a bullet.

Being said by Li Yi like this, Zhao Qian was moved.

She was also very eager to save her father in her heart, but she couldn't afford the price of failure. But Li Yi's words made her have no worries.

At most, it's just a wasted trip. If it really doesn't work, then come to Ghost Street with Brother Yi next time.

What if, what if Father didn't die and could really be saved...

"I, I don't know what to do. Everything is decided by Brother Yi. No matter what Brother Yi does, I won't have any opinions." Zhao Qian said, biting her lip.

Seeing this, Li Yi said immediately: "Since you listen to me, then it's settled. I will take you to save Master. Now time is pressing, act immediately... Because I have to do one more thing on Ghost Street before that. Alright, don't talk, follow me closely."

Saying that, he left the small alley immediately and stepped into Ghost Street again.

Zhao Qian found her backbone at this moment, no longer dazed and helpless, and followed closely behind Li Yi, afraid that she would lose this last relative if she was not careful.

Li Yi's purpose for coming to Ghost Street at this moment was only one.

Find that old man selling goods and buy another mud horse.

Because when he returned to the danger zone last time, the mud horse shattered and was gone directly. This mud horse might be a one-time item. If he used the mud horse to follow Zhao Qian back to Xingzhou, then he wouldn't have a mud horse to use when he came to Ghost Street next time, so he had to buy another one to prepare.

And, the reason why Li Yi was so determined to go to Xingzhou was, besides saving Master, he also had an idea.

The second Heaven-Tilting event is about to happen.

Cross-dimensional travelers are trying to escape the Earth, looking for a new world to survive, and many people will become abandoned children, accompanying that broken world to perish together.

Li Yi didn't have the opportunity to contact cross-dimensional travelers before. Now that he found such an opportunity to cross dimensions, he didn't want to miss it.

Assuming Master's world is suitable for survival, then after the Heaven-Tilting event, he can find a way to transfer relatives, friends, and acquaintances to Master's world.

Although leaving home, it is better than dying.

Therefore, Li Yi wants to lead the way and explore the situation, understanding what kind of place Master's world is.

Although this might bear certain risks, for the survival of everyone around him in the future, he thinks it is worth it. ===== CHAPTER 116 =====
