With a clang, Ji Xiuzhu fell to the ground.

However, when she fell to the ground, the dull pain did not spread throughout her body.

On the contrary, a burst of lotus fragrance came over her, and she fell directly into a warm and soft embrace.

When she woke up again, it was seven days later.

"Master, you're awake. Do you still feel any discomfort in your body?" The one who spoke was Cui Yunshen.

He was seen holding a bowl of medicine, sitting on the edge of Ji Xiuzhu's bed, intending to feed the medicine to Ji Xiuzhu with a spoon.

Moreover, there was still worry on his face.

Ji Xiuzhu then realized that he was undergoing a tribulation before, and when he fainted, he smelled the fragrance of lotus, and then fainted again.

She thought that she would see the owner of the lotus fragrance when she woke up this time.

But now, when I wake up, not only do I have a splitting headache, but my whole body feels like it's falling apart.

Ji Xiuzhu slowly stood up. Seeing this, Cui Yunshen hurriedly helped Ji Xiuzhu sit down.

"Master, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly. You need to have a good rest now. This is what Second Senior Brother told me."

Ji Xiuzhu was stunned at first, then he said calmly: "Your second senior brother told you? What about him?"

Ji Xiuzhu felt a little disappointed. She opened her mouth and wanted to ask where Mo Yunyu had gone, but after thinking about it, she ended up saying nothing.

Cui Yunshen looked at Ji Xiuzhu like this and seemed to understand her thoughts, so he fed him medicine while whispering, "Second Senior Brother told us that if Master wakes up, we should tell him that he has gone back. We will see each other in the future, so don't be upset."

Ji Xiuzhu's eyes lit up, and a hint of anticipation suddenly arose in his heart. At the same time, his brows gradually relaxed.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door. Cui Yunshen said with a smile, "By the way, we have helped Yunxian Zifu so much. Maybe Sect Master Chunheng will come to give Master something good again."

After saying that, he quickly got up and opened the door.

Sure enough, the person who came was the head of Yunxian Zifu, Chun Heng.

He was holding a blooming lotus in his hand. After stepping over the threshold, he walked in front of Ji Xiuzhu.

Chun Heng was smiling at this time. He handed the lotus to Ji Xiuzhu and said, "Fellow Daoist Ji, thank you so much. My Yunxian Purple Mansion is now peaceful. This is a small token of our humble sect's appreciation. I hope you won't despise it."

As he said this, he handed the lotus to Ji Xiuzhu.

Ji Xiuzhu carefully took the lotus flower, and instantly, a fresh fragrance came to his nose.

She lowered her head and observed carefully, and found that the lotus flower was crystal clear, like a beautiful jade.

"This is..." Ji Xiuzhu looked at Chun Heng in confusion.

"Hehe, I see that you seem to have entered the realm of true immortality, and will ascend to the upper realm soon. This is the lotus that has been bred by the essence and blood of my ancestor Yunxian Zifu when he ascended. It is of great help in nourishing the soul, so I give this to you as a thank you gift, and I hope you will accept it." Chun Heng explained.

"If I accept such a precious item, you..." Ji Xiuzhu quickly declined.

"Fellow Daoist Ji, you are too polite. If you hadn't helped me, my sect might have been destroyed long ago. Now that this thing is shining brightly, it means it is destined for you. Please accept it and don't feel any psychological burden." Chun Heng insisted.

Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Ji Xiuzhu accepted the gift without any hesitation.

After expressing his gratitude, Ji Xiuzhu put the lotus into his storage bag and kept it close to his body.

Chun Heng's original purpose of this trip was to deliver something to Ji Xiuzhu. Now that he saw Ji Xiuzhu accept the gift, he exchanged a few more pleasantries with him before leaving.

After Chun Heng left, Ji Xiuzhu called Cui Yunshen who was standing in a daze.

"You little brat, come here. We both fainted that day. Who took us out of the Mountain and River Map? Also, what happened to Li Changgeng later?" Ji Xiuzhu asked.

When Cui Yunshen heard Ji Xiuzhu's question, he instantly curled his lips.

He became hesitant for a moment, not knowing how to tell Ji Xiuzhu.

When Ji Xiuzhu saw Cui Yunshen, who always acted decisively, became so shy, he began to have some guesses in his mind.

She spoke slowly and calmly, "Li Changgeng, has your spirit dissipated?"

Cui Yunshen lowered his head and nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed with Ji Xiuzhu's words.

After a while, he said: "You were unconscious at the time, and I was also seriously injured. Second Senior Brother didn't know how he found us, but I heard from Second Senior Brother that it was Li Changgeng who burned his soul and sent us out of the Mountain and River Map..."

Ji Xiuzhu felt a sharp pain in her heart. She had never expected that a sword god of his generation would go to such lengths for the sake of the so-called common people.

In order to get her to join the game, he even used himself as a lure.

Now that Ji Xiuzhu owes Li Changgeng a favor, and Li Changgeng is dead, there is really no way out.

"What did he say at the end?" Ji Xiuzhu asked, trying hard to suppress his displeasure.

Cui Yunshen recalled for a moment and said, "I don't know, but I heard from Second Senior Brother that it is the greatest honor of his life to fight alongside you."

Ji Xiuzhu closed his eyes, his heart filled with guilt and self-blame.

But suddenly, she opened her eyes again and savored Cui Yunshen's words carefully.

"Fighting alongside me..." Ji Xiuzhu muttered softly, "Could it be that Li Changgeng is not dead yet..."

Thinking of this, Ji Xiuzhu was shocked. If it was really as she thought, then what was Li Changgeng's purpose?

Thinking of this, Ji Xiuzhu tried to draw the spiritual power stored in her body, and then when her spiritual power accumulated to a certain level and was about to explode.

With a whoosh, a white shadow appeared instantly, stretched out its hand and grabbed, stopping Ji Xiuzhu's next move.

The white shadow gradually solidified, and Li Changgeng's figure appeared in front of Ji Xiuzhu.

Ji Xiuzhu didn't react much, but Cui Yunshen on the side widened his eyes and looked at him in disbelief.

"You little rascal, you actually designed to lure me out. How did you know I was still here?" Li Changgeng said with a frown.

"You...your soul has dissipated, hasn't it? How could it be..." Cui Yunshen asked in surprise.

"I have no choice but to do this. I led you into the Mountain and River Map just to see your talent. I didn't expect you to find a treasure." Li Changgeng explained, "Besides, your master also has her own things to do. It just so happens that I have the same goal as your master. But she may not be able to accomplish it on her own, so I set up this situation to strengthen her desire a little."

Ji Xiuzhu then realized that Li Changgeng had already calculated everything.

He was willing to sacrifice himself just to bring Ji Xiuzhu into the map of mountains and rivers to fight against the people from the upper realm together.

Of course, this also includes her master, Meng Qishan, who wanted to take her life.
