Li Xizhi had already suffered at the hands of the Chi Family, and now fell silent, hesitating.
"The Chi Family wants to use Mu Hai as a blade, but Mu Hai is a leader among Zifu Monks—he will surely retaliate. In the end, it's me who suffers, caught in the middle, unable to afford to offend either side..."
Since Li Xizhi understood the situation, he sighed deeply in his heart, not daring to casually erase this Qi mass. He pressed Talisman Qi down atop that deep blue, ensuring that if a Zifu searched his Qi Sea, he could wipe it away at once.
'With the Talisman Seed on me, I need not fear being beguiled, so there is not too much real danger.'
He quietly exhaled, feeling troubled. In his current state, Li Xizhi found himself in a real predicament—he too harbored his own secrets. The Talisman Seed and Talisman Qi within his Qi Sea must also be unobservable; else things would not be as they were.
Collecting the spell, Li Xizhi rose and stepped out from the stone door.
