The man stepped forward, his presence radiating a sense of calm and authority. "I am Yunlong, Li Wei shifu." he replied, his voice steady and reassuring.

Xiao Shang eyes widened in recognition at the name. She heard that name when Li Wei having a conversation with Master Yun that day. "Yunlong.." she murmured, her heart racing with hope. 

"Please, you have to save him. He's badly injured, and I don't know what to do."

Yunlong nodded solemnly, his gaze flickering to Li Wei unconscious form. "We must act quickly." he said, his tone grave. "But we cannot do it alone. We need to seek help."

Xiao Shang nodded in agreement, her mind racing with possibilities. "I am from the Azure Sect." She said, her voice gaining strength with resolve. 

"My shifu is a master healer. He may know how to save Li Wei."

Yunlong expression softened with understanding. "The Azure Sect.." He mused, his eyes alight with recognition. 

"Their reputation precedes them. If anyone can help Li Wei, it is them."

With a decisive nod, Yunlong extended his hand towards Xiao Shang. "Come." he said, his voice commanding yet gentle. "We must go to the Azure Sect at once."

Xiao Shang took his hand without hesitation, her heart filled with a newfound sense of hope. With a surge of energy, Yunlong invoked his immortal powers, enveloping them in a shimmering light.

In the blink of an eye, they were transported across vast distances, traversing realms with a speed that defied comprehension. The world blurred around them, the landscape morphing into a blur of colors and shapes as they hurtled towards their destination.

As they arrived at the gates of the Azure Sect, Xiao Shang felt a surge of relief wash over her. She knew they were one step closer to saving Li Wei, and she was filled with gratitude towards master Yunlong for his unwavering assistance.

Together, they entered the Azure Sect, their hearts heavy with the weight of their mission but buoyed by the hope of finding a cure for Li Wei injuries. And as they crossed the threshold, Xiao Shang vowed to do whatever it took to ensure that her beloved Li Wei would survive.

As Xiao Shang desperate cries echoed through the halls of the Azure Sect, disciples hurried to her side, their faces etched with concern. They formed a protective circle around Li Wei limp form, their murmurs of worry mingling with the urgency in Xiao Shang voice.

Master Liu Jian, the venerable leader of the Azure Sect, emerged from the shadows, his expression a mix of concern and curiosity as he approached.

Beside Xiao Shang stood master Yunlong, Li Wei devoted shifu and a revered immortal guardian of balance. His presence lent an air of reassurance amidst the turmoil, his steady gaze fixed on Li Wei prone form.

Upon seeing master Yunlong, master Liu Jian expression softened, and a brief smile flickered across his lips. "Yunlong." he greeted warmly, nodding in acknowledgment.  "It's been too long." 

Master Yunlong returned the nod. "Liu Jian." he replied. "Indeed, it has been."

Master Liu Jian gaze shifted to Xiao Shang. "Xiao Shang, what has happened?" Master Liu Jian inquired, his voice tinged with urgency.

Xiao Shang eyes were wide with fear as she recounted the events that had transpired, detailing how Li Wei had been gravely wounded by the dark forces of the Shadow Serpent Sect. Master Liu Jian brows furrowed in concern as he listened, his mind racing with possibilities.

"It seems the Shadow Serpent Sect dark influence runs deeper than we anticipated." Master Liu Jian remarked, his tone grave. "But fear not, we shall do everything in our power to save Li Wei."

With that, master Liu Jian motioned for his disciples to carry Li Wei to a special chamber infused with the healing energies of nature. As they laid Li Wei upon the bed, Master Liu Jian examined him closely, his experienced eyes taking in the extent of the young cultivator's injuries.

Beside him, master Yunlong watched with a mixture of concern and determination, his unwavering presence a pillar of strength in the face of adversity.

"It appears that Li Wei spiritual power has been shattered.." Master Liu Jian observed, his voice tinged with concern. "This is no ordinary wound, it will require extraordinary measures to heal."

Xiao Shang heart sank at the sight of Li Wei pale and lifeless form. She felt a surge of desperation welling up inside her as she turned to master Liu Jian, her voice trembling with emotion.

"Shifu, please, there must be something we can do to save him.." she implored, her eyes pleading for hope.

Master Liu Jian regarded Xiao Shang with a mixture of admiration and sympathy, understanding the depth of her love for Li Wei. He knew that what he was about to propose would be risky, but it might be their only hope of saving Li Wei life.

"There is a way." Master Liu Jian began slowly, his voice grave. "But it will require great sacrifice on your part, Xiao Shang."

Xiao Shang heart skipped a beat as she listened intently, her gaze fixed on master Liu Jian solemn expression.

"You possess a special power, inherited from our sect." Master Liu Jian continued, his words weighted with significance. 

"It is a power of shielding, a rare gift that few possess. But to save Li Wei, you must combine this power with your own spiritual energy, channeling it into him to mend his shattered soul."

Master Yunlong eyes widened in realization as he listened to master Liu Jian words. His mind racing with possibilities. He knew that Xiao Shang possessed a unique talent, one that could hold the key to saving Li Wei life. But it still too risky.

With a determined nod, Xiao Shang steeled herself for the task ahead. She would do whatever it took to save Li Wei, even if it meant sacrificing everything she held dear.
