Chapter 116 A Sad Experience

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

He didn't expect Zhao Qian's mood swings to be so drastic. She couldn't control her emotions even in the dangerous ghost street. She started crying as soon as they met. And it seemed that her emotions were not right. It wasn't the kind of joy after reunion, but a kind of grief of silence and despair.

What happened during this period of time that made Zhao Qian so sad?

Li Yi wanted to ask.

But he soon noticed that Zhao Qian's behavior immediately attracted the attention of some evil spirits nearby. Many creepy glances came over here, and even some figures were slowly approaching. Fortunately, both of them were disguised and concealed most of the breath of living people, otherwise there would be even greater trouble.

"Miss Zhao, this is not the place to talk, please leave here immediately."

Li Yiling was alerted and sensed the approaching danger. He hurriedly pulled the crying Zhao Qian and quickly ran deep into the alley.

Avoiding most of the people on Ghost Street, the danger is much less.

Then Li Yi stopped in a secluded corner of the alley. After making sure that nothing was following him, he lowered his voice and asked, "Miss Zhao, I saw you in my dream today. Someone interpreted my dream and said that you were using the dream method to contact me, so I immediately rushed to the ghost street. But when we met, why were you so sad? Did something happen?"

"Calm down first, don't be afraid, I'll take care of everything."

He comforted Zhao Qian and calmed her down.

Zhao Qian's eyes were red from crying. She wiped away her tears and said, "Brother Yi, Daddy, Daddy is in trouble. Many people are chasing us. Many brothers and sisters died. There were corpses all along the way. We had no way to escape. Finally, Daddy chose to let me enter the ghost street again and come to Brother Yi for help."

Having said this, she couldn't help but shed tears again.

"Master, something happened? How could this happen? Master was fine when we met last time. Don't be anxious, tell me slowly." Li Yi's face suddenly changed, and he realized the seriousness of the problem.

Zhao Qian wiped her tears again, calmed herself down a little, and then told the whole story in detail: "This is what happened. After I parted with Brother Yi in Ghost Street last time, my father and I returned to Xingzhou and the martial arts hall with the coffin. Everything was going smoothly. As a result, my brothers and I accidentally leaked the news when we were preparing medicine for my father. People knew that my father's soul was injured and his strength declined. Later, that abominable beast betrayed my father and stole the coffin."

Having said this, she gritted her teeth, hatred bursting from her eyes, and she wished she could cut the traitor into pieces.

"Without the coffin, Daddy's injury couldn't be healed, so many of us sisters and brothers were searching for the traitor all over the city. But I don't know what happened, and then many people in the city suddenly tried to kill us. Some brothers were surrounded and killed on the street, some brothers were beheaded at night, and some sisters were taken to the cowshed and tortured to death. Everyone seemed to be targeting me. They wanted to destroy our Zhao's martial arts school."

Thinking back to the tragic deaths of her senior and junior sisters and fellow students, Zhao Qian started crying again.

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

"What happened next?" He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and continued asking.

Zhao Qian continued, her eyes full of grief and sorrow: "Daddy was powerless and could only take the few remaining brothers and sisters and me to escape the city, preparing to leave Xingzhou and find another way to make a living. But there were too many people chasing us, wave after wave. Several brothers and sisters died, and two sisters also died. In the end, only the eldest sister Rong Niang and the youngest brother Shou Hou were left. Even Daddy was seriously injured and fainted several times. When Daddy was conscious for the last time, he chose to take Rong Niang and Shou Hou to lead away the enemies who were chasing us, and asked me to go to a village to find a witch so that I could use the art of dreaming to find Brother Yi in Ghost Street."

"So that's how it is." Li Yi's eyes were burning with anger.

Unexpectedly, Master and Zhao Qian experienced such tragic things during this period. They were betrayed by the people around them, surrounded by the whole city, and had to escape for their lives in the last huge martial arts hall. Almost everyone was killed or injured, and only Zhao Qian escaped into the ghost street and barely survived.

If he hadn't come to Ghost Street to pick her up, Zhao Qian would have died.

Either she died in the ghost street, or she died on the way to escape from Xingzhou.

But what kind of place is Xingzhou, which is surrounded by the four seas and eight continents? Master was targeted by everyone in the city just because he was injured. They killed people to silence them, and devoured a good martial arts school like sharks smelling blood.

Li Yi grew up in the old town 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, it seems to be a real cannibalistic world.

The strong prey on the weak, there is no logic at all.

Although Li Yi did not experience the local customs and practices there, he could sense the cruelty and darkness from Zhao Qian's few words.

"Wait, you said that your master helped you divert the people who were chasing you. When did this happen?" Suddenly, Li Yi thought of something and asked abruptly.

"It happened last night."

Zhao Qian looked at Li Yi with her red and swollen eyes, but unfortunately she couldn't see Li Yi's face through the hood. She could only see a pair of cold eyes flashing with light through the holes in the hood.

"From last night to tonight, only one day has passed, which means that Master may not have been killed yet. If we rush over, it is entirely possible to save Master." Li Yi said seriously at this moment: "Since Miss Zhao, you can come to Ghost Street again, it means that I can also go to Xingzhou." Hearing this, Zhao Qian's dim eyes immediately lit up, and a hope surged in her heart: "This, this is really possible?"

But then, she shook her head quickly: "No, we can't drag Brother Yi into this. We have lost many brothers and sisters. If something happens to Brother Yi, even if Dad dies, he will not be able to rest in peace. I can't go against Dad's wishes. Dad said that if I can find Brother Yi in Ghost Street, I will live a good life with him. At least the bloodline of the Zhao family will not be cut off, and the boxing inheritance of the Zhao family martial arts school will not be cut off."

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

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

Li Yi immediately said, "You can't think like that. Master may be on the run now. If we rush over now, maybe everything will turn around. If we do nothing, then Master and your senior sisters and brothers will really die."

Zhao Qian's face kept changing. On the one hand, she really wanted to save her father, but on the other hand, she was afraid that she would implicate Li Yi. It would be even more desperate if the two of them failed to save anyone and were killed instead.

"No, the pursuers are very strong. Brother Yi, how long have you only practiced boxing? You are no match for them, and it will be useless if you go. Brother Yi, I know you care about daddy and want to save him, but I can't be so ignorant and let daddy's last efforts go to waste because of a momentary impulse."

She bit her lip, with grief in her eyes: "And now Daddy may have been killed."

The experiences during this period have made Zhao Qian grow up. She is no longer as naive as before. Now that she has something to bear, she knows how to consider the overall situation and make choices.

Li Yi was silent for a moment, and said, "I have a Yin Horse in my hand. As long as you drip blood on it, it can send the user to their relatives. If the master is still alive, the Yin Horse can take us to find the master. If the master is really killed, then the Yin Horse will change its target and send you to other relatives. Even if you go to Xingzhou, you will not go into danger. At most, it will be a wasted trip."

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

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

This thing can kill supernatural creatures. He doesn't believe that a warrior with flesh and blood can withstand a bullet.

After hearing what Li Yi said, Zhao Qian was moved.

She really wanted to save her father, but she couldn't afford the cost of failure. However, Li Yi's words made her worry-free.

At most it would be a wasted trip. If that doesn't work, I can go to Ghost Street with Brother Yi later.

What if, what if daddy is not dead, and can really be saved?
"I, I don't know what to do. Everything is decided by Brother Yi. No matter what Brother Yi does, I will not have any opinion." Zhao Qian said, pursing her lips.

Seeing this, Li Yi immediately said, "Since you listen to me, then it's settled. I will take you to save Master. Now is the time to act. Because I have to do one more thing on Ghost Street before that. Okay, stop talking and follow me closely."

Having said that, he immediately left the alley and stepped into the ghost street again.

Zhao Qian found her backbone at this moment and was no longer confused and helpless. She followed Li Yi closely all the way, fearing that she would lose this last relative by accident.

Li Yi had only one purpose in coming to Ghost Street at this moment.

Find the old man selling goods and buy another clay horse.

Because the last time he used the mud horse to return to the danger zone, the mud horse broke into pieces and disappeared. This mud horse might be a disposable item. Therefore, if he used the mud horse to follow Zhao Qian back to Xingzhou, then the next time he came to Ghost Street, he would have no mud horse to use, so he had to buy another one as a backup.

Moreover, the reason why Li Yi was so determined to go to Xingzhou, besides saving his master, was that he had another idea.

The second sky-falling event is about to happen.

Those who cross boundaries are trying to escape from the earth and find a new world to survive. Many of them will become abandoned and perish along with that fragmented world.

Li Yi had never had the opportunity to come into contact with cross-border people before, but now that he has found such a cross-border opportunity, he doesn’t want to miss it.

Assuming that his master's world is suitable for survival, then after the Tianqing incident he would be able to find a way to transfer all his relatives, friends, and acquaintances to his master's world.

Although leaving home, it is better than dying.

Therefore, Li Yi had to take the lead, explore the situation, and understand what kind of place the world where his master was.

Although this may involve certain risks, he feels it is worth it for the future survival of everyone around him.
