Overview
Studying under Moji made Liu Yi what he is; high up the Mountain of Imprisonment Soul finds him, and he is the one to issue Hero's Lament, an optional tale.
A hanging cage holds him when Soul first arrives, and a lever close by must be used to bring it down before he can be spoken to. He will not bow to Transcension, and once he realises Soul does not follow it, he asks for aid. The lift that climbs the mountain has lost its crank, so he wants Soul to fit it back, and also to bring him whatever of Master Moji's turns up near the summit.
Devotion to Moji shapes every word he says. His praise for his master is warm, while he stays cold toward Huangxing, who is Moji's brother.

Role in the Story
Lift Without Its Crank
According to Liu Yi, the Mandate used to run supplies up to the summit on a lift, but once infighting broke out among its members the crank disappeared. With no lift, travellers must go up on foot. Soul is asked to fit the crank back in place after finding it.
Calling Huangxing a friend is something he will not do. Though they are brothers, he says, they could not be more different, since Moji was kind and never knelt to Transcension.
The Bloodstained Sword of Moji
Soul finds Moji's Bloodstained Sword soaked in blood inside a cave prison guarded by Maskwalkers. Handed the weapon, Liu Yi knows it for his master's immediately. He offers up his own life to purify the blade, then extends it to Soul with an order to take it and slay Huangxing.
