Ge Yi

Ge Yi is the deputy patriarch of the Xin Mo Sect. Presently, he is contesting against Xu Min for supremacy over the Xin Mo Sect.

Personality and Traits
Ge Yi is a handsome middle aged man who resembles an older version of his son Ge Huaiyu. He has unusual red tattoos on his throat.

Ge Yi appears to be an opportunistic man, viewing his lover Liu Qingmei as a precious asset for him to become the patriarch of the Xin Mo Sect. Ge Yi dotes his only son, spoiling him constantly, and overlooking his flaws. He even shared his mistress Liu Qingmei with Ge Huaiyu. Ge Huaiyu's killer often exploits Ge Yi's extreme affection to fool him.

Plot
In the past, Ge Yi had trained Heaven No.5, and was infuriated when the latter joined the Xueyi Lou. He did not pursue the matter, out of fear of the Xueyi Lou founder, the Ancestor Of Bliss. When Liu Qingmei left the Blissful Temple for years, she became Ge Yi's lover. After the High Priestess Dang Hongchen's death, Liu Qingmei returned to the Blissful Temple and used her affair with Ge Yi to assert her supremacy over her sect. Meanwhile, Ge Yi was busy contesting against his rival Xu Min for supremacy at the Xin Mo Sect. He sent his son, Ge Huaiyu to assist Liu Qingmei as well as improve his martial arts.

Some time later, Ge Yi arrives at the Blissful Temple, and meets Ge Huaiyu, who proudly tells him that he secretly killed Xie Yan and stole his identity and martial arts. Ge Yi is impressed with his son's progress in martial arts but is confused with Ge Huaiyu's unstable behaviour, and angrily suspects that Liu Qingmei must have caused this. Unknown to Ge Yi, the real Ge Huaiyu was killed a few days ago and the "Ge Huaiyu" before him is actually his son's killer, Xie Yan, in disguise. Initially annoyed with Ge Yi's sudden arrival, Xie Yan decides to use him in place of the Mo Qing Sect to assassinate Liu Qingmei. A few days later, Ge Yi is infuriated to learn from Ge Huaiyu that Liu Qingmei was cheating on him with Xu Min and that she was sexually draining his son's life force to fuel her cultivation. Having successfully stoked Ge Yi's ire, Ge Huaiyu a.k.a Xie Yan suggests a plan to him and lures Liu Qingmei into the forest. There, Ge Yi is outraged when Liu Qingmei attacks his son and fights her. In the ensuing skirmish, Liu Qingmei is critically wounded by Heaven No.3 and Heaven No.5 and is killed by Xie Yan. Ge Yi is unaware that Xie Yan was using the Eight Difficulties Demonic Technique to goad Liu Qingmei throughout the skirmish.

After the battle, Ge Yi requests Ge Huaiyu to return to the sect and undergo the Demonic Wisdom Cleansing to enter the Innate Realm. He also tells his son to relinquish the Mantra Of Formlessness as that technique is hindering him from ascending the Innate Realm. Ge Huaiyu vehemently declines Ge Yi's offer, stating that he would ascend the Innate Realm by his own merit. Ge Yi's is touched by his son's resolve and grants him two years to complete the task, before leaving. In reality, Xie Yan was apprehensive about the ritual as it could jeopardize his martial arts progress and declined it.

Almost one year later, at Zhaohu city, Ge Yi meets Ge Huaiyu (a.k.a Xie Yan) and is pleased to learn that his son has ascended the Innate Realm. One week later, Ge Yi and Xie Yan arrive at the Xin Mo Sect. Along with Xu Min and Cui Jing, they present themselves before the Sect Master, Yuan Sheng. When the Sect Master expresses anger over the absence of the sect seal on Ge Huaiyu, Ge Yi defends him while Xie Yan swiftly placates the situation by yielding the (incomplete) Everlasting Dominating Fist to the Xin Mo Sect. Later, Ge Yi gives Xie Yan the Six Desires Golden Pill, to help him practice the Mantra Of The Inner Demons Of The Six Desires. Two days later, Ge Yi permits Xie Yan to stay at the nearby city of Yudu.
