Xi Yun sat on the stool, leaning against Sui Xin's chest, thinking about everything that had just happened, and couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"What are you laughing at?" he asked casually.

"Isn't it enough to be happy?" Xi Yun shook his hand and said.

"Hehe, does that mean we're husband and wife from now on?" Suixin asked again.

"Dream on, you haven't married me yet," she said, though she was secretly overjoyed.

"Don't worry, I'll marry you as soon as Mom and Dad come back, and I'll give you a grand and glorious wedding."

Xi Yun nodded gently.

At this point, both of them couldn't help but dream about it, as if the scene was already appearing in their minds.

"Time is almost up, and the new year is just around the corner. Let's move on to the last part," Fang Tong's voice broke the two's reverie.

The clock on the wall was pointing to 11:50, and the new year was not far away.

"The last part is the New Year's wish, where we make our most sincere and beautiful wishes for the coming year. This part is outside, so please come with me," Fang Tong said, and walked towards the door.

Outside, the wind and snow continued to rage, but the firelight of the campfire was not diminished at all, creating a unique beauty against the backdrop of sparks and snowflakes.

Residents stepped outside, their smiles unwavering despite the low temperature. A man's voice, accompanied by loud laughter, rang out, "Hahaha, a timely snow promises a bountiful harvest!"

Ordinary people are like this: although they don't have the powerful strength of cultivators, they have an inner yearning for tomorrow and face the future with optimism. This kind of spirit is never lacking.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" Not far away, accompanied by bursts of sound, brilliant fireworks burst in the air, dyeing the sky red and illuminating everyone.

"The New Year is here, let's all make wishes for the coming year while watching the fireworks."

The laughter and joking stopped. Even the children stood quietly, each with their hands clasped in front of their chests, eyes closed, making a wish.

Xi Yun and Sui Xin followed suit, offering each other their best wishes.

"I hope Yun'er can be happy and carefree every day, and I hope we can stay together forever."

"I hope Suixin is safe and healthy, and I hope to always be by his side."

At almost the same time, the two opened their eyes, looked at each other, smiled, and realized that no matter how beautiful the fireworks were, they couldn't compare to each other.

The most beautiful wish is made for each other.

Without saying a word, Sui Xin took Xi Yun's hand and prepared to go home. Many residents around them also began to leave, and all the activities of the family gathering came to an end...

...

"I'm so sleepy," Xi Yun said, yawning incessantly as she walked along the road. The spiritual energy protection that had been holding her back from the wind and snow seemed to be failing, perhaps because it was too late.

Sui Xin noticed Xi Yun's exhaustion and slowly bent down, "Yun'er, come on, I'll carry you."

"Oh," Xi Yun said dazedly as she climbed onto Sui Xin's back, feeling somewhat disoriented and weak all over.

Sui Xin was also a little puzzled. Xi Yun was completely slumped on her back. There was no way she should be like this.

How did things suddenly change like this?

...

Xuanyu Sect

"Boom!"

The gap in the sky grew larger and larger, and the disciples' faces were all extremely solemn, showing no signs of fatigue despite standing for so long.

"Sizzle",

Suddenly, a bolt of pure black lightning struck down from the gap, and a crack hundreds of meters long appeared not far away; then, the crack began to widen continuously, like two doors slowly opening from the middle, and a violent hurricane blew out from it.

Fortunately, the elders were prepared and worked together to barely block the strong wind.

Feeling the intensity of the wind, Zheng Qiao was taken aback. He had never seen such strong winds in previous years, and the pressure was also astonishing.

It should be fine.

"Everyone, please go inside, and be careful."

Before Zheng Qiao could finish speaking, the disciples rushed to the foot of the mountain. The moment the Divine Realm opened, an invisible force of attraction acted on Xi Yun, as if it had eyes, staring intently at her.

"Whoosh!" A strong gust of wind swept by.

Sui Xin quickly hugged Xi Yun in her arms. When she looked up, the crack in the air was like an abyss, emanating a huge pressure that pressed down on her, while the suction force appeared on Xi Yun.

"Yun'er, wake up!" Sui Xin shouted, which made him feel uncomfortable. He also had to hold Xi Yun to prevent her from being sucked away.

"Yun'er, Yun'er," she called three or four times, but there was no response.

Gradually, the pressure increased, mixed with a tearing force that tried to rip his arms apart and suck Xi Yun away.

"Ah!" The enormous tear made him cry out. His sleeve was ripped open, his bones cracked, and his skin began to crack.

With his eyes fixed on the crack in the distance, an indescribable sense of crisis quietly emerged.

Seemingly sensing Sui Xin's discomfort, Xi Yun slowly opened her eyes. Before her was Sui Xin, her face contorted in pain, large beads of sweat dripping down her cheeks. A weak voice escaped her lips, "Sui Xin."

Xi Yun was completely weak and spoke listlessly. She raised her hand to wipe the blood from the corner of Sui Xin's mouth, her eyes filled with worry. She could feel something calling to her from ahead, but she didn't want to be separated from Sui Xin.

Seeing Sui Xin's pained expression, I felt a pang of sympathy. "Sui Xin, let me go."

"Yun'er, don't be afraid," Sui Xin said with difficulty. No matter how much pressure he was under, he would not let go. This was his promise to Xi Yun.

Slowly, the pressure began to spread, and Sui Xin and the surrounding trees were crushed to the ground. The tearing action made the ground uneven, and the red clothes were torn to shreds along with the blood.

Sui Xin forced herself not to cry out, and activated the True Phoenix Sacrifice Technique. A red aura enveloped the two of them, slightly relieving some of the pressure.

Suddenly, the pressure acting on him transformed into a suction force, like a vortex, pulling the two of them in at an extremely fast speed.

Sui Xin didn't react in time. The spiritual energy rushed into her body, she spat out a mouthful of blood, her vision went black, and she fainted on the spot.

"Follow your heart? Follow your heart?" Xi Yun called out anxiously, but there was no response.

...

At this time, most of the disciples had already gone inside, leaving only Zheng Qiao and a few Divine Origin cultivators watching from the entrance.

Suddenly, it was as if a wind had picked up, with sand and stones flying everywhere. Large swaths of soil and trees were sucked in, but only those with higher cultivation levels were able to fly to the side immediately.

"What is that?" Jianjun asked, pointing to a red halo in the sky.

The other elders looked in the direction the finger was pointing and said, "It looks like there are two people?"

Liang Jing gasped and said to Zheng Qiao, "Isn't that Sui Xin and Xi Yun?"

Zheng Qiao recognized them too, his brows furrowing slightly. Sui Xin and the other person looked to be in very bad condition, covered in blood.

Zheng Qiao raised his hand, wanting to pull the two over and ask what had happened, but a strange force field seemed to be around them, directly repelling his spiritual energy.

"How could this be?" he thought to himself.

"What's wrong, senior brother?" Liang Jing asked.

"I don't know, it seems like it was sucked into the Divine Realm."

After saying that, the two disappeared into the crevice and vanished from everyone's sight.

Whereabouts unknown...
