The group exhausted the last of their energy to rush to the beach and indeed, there was a small boat on the shore.
"Go, go quickly." Tang Lian flung Lei Wujie onto the boat, and was just about to put Ye Ruoyi down onto the boat when suddenly, something felt wrong.
The wind seemed to have stopped.
Not only did the wind stop, but he felt his entire body come to a standstill.
Everyone and everything was stagnant.
He slowly turned his gaze and saw a white shadow in the distance that looked as if it moved.
Mo Yi was standing in front of Baili Dongjun, and he suddenly opened his eyes.
Although Baili Dongjun was incredibly powerful, after drinking Meng Po soup, he was in a drunken daze for several days. But for Mo Yi, he fell into the Meng Po soup dream, a grand dream of ten years, which lasted for merely a brief moment.
However, the expression in Mo Yi's eyes seemed to have changed. That demonic purple light had dissipated, leaving behind a gleam of clarity and a gentle calm as if an eternity had passed in a single night.
Then the figure in white suddenly moved.
Baili Dongjun also moved. He reached out his right hand to stop him, but only managed to brush against the edge of Mo Yi's clothes. Mo Yi reached out his right hand and said softly, "Stop!"
Before he finished saying the word, Mo Yi had already landed on the shore. He held Ye Ruoyi with one arm and Xiao Se with the other. He tipped his toes slightly and within a moment, he’d returned to the top of the pavilion again. As he left, the feeling of restriction around Tang Lian and Sikong Qianluo was finally lifted, and everything returned to normal. Tang Lian lifted Lei Wujie and shouted, "After him!"
The two once again ran to the base of the pavilion and saw Baili Dongjun standing where he was before. Tang Lian said anxiously, "Shifu, what should we do?"
Baili Dongjun shook his head lightly. "Wait first."
"But Miss Ye is still in his hands!" Tang Lian didn’t understand. "What if he uses the soul summoning magic again?"
Baili Dongjun didn't answer him, but frowned and watched Mo Yi solemnly.
Mo Yi looked at Xiao Se, and Xiao Se also looked back at him.
"Do you want me to save you?" Mo Yi asked him.
Xiao Se nodded. "Yes."
Mo Yi chuckled. "I can save you."
Xiao Se scoffed. "But I won't beg you."
Mo Yi placed a hand lightly on his shoulders. "Good strength of character."
Xiao Se glanced at his hand. "What are you going to do?"
Mo Yi withdrew his hand, then slapped his palm on Xiao Se's chest!
"Stop!" Sikong Qianluo shouted angrily. She prepared to leap towards them, but was pulled back by Baili Dongjun. Baili Dongjun looked serious and he ordered, "Wait!"
Xiao Se suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood.
Mo Yi withdrew his hand and grasped Xiao Se's wrist to check his pulse. He frowned slightly. "This lingering yin energy is truly insidious. It has hidden itself inside your latent meridians so whenever you exert your internal energy, the two internal energies will clash with each other and you will suffer serious injuries." As soon as Mo Yi finished talking, he slapped Xiao Se's chest with another palm.
Xiao Se only felt an overwhelming pain in his chest, and the qi in his body was in complete chaos, as if all of his internal strength was about to gush out.
"There is only one way to save you, and that is to expunge all of your internal strength, along with that lingering yin energy. But from then on, you will still be a person with no martial arts. But, martial arts can be trained again, and your internal strength can be cultivated again. As long as you have the heart, it’s only a matter of time before you return to the peak." Mo Yi struck another palm.
Xiao Se faced the sky and screamed. A gale force wind blasted outwards from the top of the pavilion. Both Sikong Qianluo and Tang Lian couldn't help but raise their arms to cover their eyes. The gale swept outwards, causing all the trees on the mountain to sway.
"Expunging another person’s internal strength is not such a powerful technique, and there are many who can do it. But, expunging another person’s internal strength while leaving them alive? I’m the only one who can," Mo Yi said.
Baili Dongjun stood at the base of the pavilion and murmured, "He’s going to expunge Xiao Se’s internal strength."
"Expunge Xiao Se’s internal strength?" Tang Lian asked in confusion. "What’s he doing?"
"He wants to save Xiao Se," Baili Dongjun said slowly.
"Save Xiao Se? But I heard that if you expunged someone's internal strength, that person’s meridians will wither away and he’ll eventually die," Tang Lian said anxiously.
"Yes." Baili Dongjun nodded. "But he is Mo Yi."
"Go!" Mo Yi struck another palm.
Xiao Se screamed again, and his hair stood on end.
"This will be very painful, and most people won’t be able to endure it. But I’m sure you will." Mo Yi smiled, holding Xiao Se in one hand. "This is my internal energy. I will give you a wisp, and with just this wisp, it’s enough for you to enter the realm of a martial expert. It can protect your meridians from being withered. Later, as you cultivate your own internal energy, it will disperse bit by bit."
After that wisp of internal energy entered Xiao Se's body, Xiao Se's complexion finally started to ease. He gritted his teeth. "Why are you saving me?"
"I am Mo Yi, and I can tell a person’s potential at a glance. You are a fine and peerless jade, and I have the power to slay dragons. It is human nature to cherish talent," Mo Yi spoke mildly.
"But you’re an immortal," Xiao Se said softly.
"There are no immortals in the world. You and I are both mortals." Mo Yi chuckled.
Xiao Se was taken aback. "You… seem different from before."
"Life is a grand dream, and death is the great awakening. Everyone knows that after drinking Meng Po soup, you’ll sink into a drunken stupor and enter a grand dream. After you wake up, you’ll forget all the mundane things in your life. Now that I think about it, what they meant by ‘forgetting’ is not to forget but to let go." Mo Yi sighed. "I made a mistake and walked the demonic path. You all saved me. It’s only right that I should save you too."
Xiao Se exhaled a long sigh of relief. "Thank you very much."
"I still have one palm. Can you take it?" Mo Yi said loudly.
"Please enlighten me." Xiao Se bowed his head.
"Very well." Mo Yi pointed a finger, and there seemed to be a thunderclap and a dark sound at his fingertip.
Xiao Se closed his eyes.
The finger finally landed on Xiao Se's forehead, but it was just a light touch.
Xiao Se's whole body went limp.
"Go to sleep." Mo Yi smiled, and reached out to seize Xiao Se’s body before he flung him down the pavilion. "Little missy, make sure you catch your sweetheart properly."
Sikong Qianluo hurriedly got up and caught Xiao Se steadily in her arms.
"First Citymaster, quick, can you see what’s wrong with Xiao Se?" Sikong Qianluo said anxiously.
Baili Dongjun reached out and touched Xiao Se's neck. "He’s fine. He’s just asleep."
Mo Yi turned around and looked at Ye Ruoyi who was still in deep sleep. "It’s your turn now, little Lü'er."
Hearing this call, Ye Ruoyi woke up slowly and she murmured, "Little Lü'er."
"Yes, my little Lü’er." Mo Yi leaned down and touched Ye Ruoyi's cheek. "If my little Lü’er could have grown up, she would look as stunning as you. It's a pity that she didn’t have this fortune."
"You… want to…" Ye Ruoyi’s breath was as thin as a gossamer.
"I want a younger sister." Mo Yi smiled, "Little Lü'er can never return to life, so I will treat you as Little Lü'er. I want to save you, but I can't cure your illness. You’re not like Xiao Se. His latent meridians were injured and what was damaged can naturally be repaired. But your congenital heart meridian was inadequate. Even if it’s me, I can’t reconstruct the heart meridian.
"But I couldn't save Little Lü'er back then, so today I won’t give up."
