Two days later, at night...
The area inside Chenlong Pass was completely silent. Jiang Haitian stood on the pass wall, gazing at the moonlight in the sky, seemingly plotting something.
"what's on your mind?"
Yu Xiyan's voice rang out from behind.
She was seen carrying two jugs of wine, and personally placed one of them on the wall in front of Jiang Haitian.
"Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night."
Jiang Haitian paused for a moment, then turned to leave.
Would you like to have a drink with me?
Yu Xiyan called out to Jiang Haitian, shook the wine pot in her hand, and asked.
"Sorry, I'm not drinking tonight."
Jiang Haitian resolutely refused.
Are you afraid I'll poison the drink?
Yu Xiyan asked in return.
"Oh……"
Jiang Haitian chuckled softly, then turned to look at Yu Xiyan.
"Go back to Demon Breath City. It won't be long before you can leave."
"What happens after I leave? Where can I go?"
Yu Xiyan simply sat down against the wall.
"I have nowhere to belong in my heart, so where can I go?"
"Chang'an, your family is there. They must be very worried about you after all this time."
"Yes, my family."
Yu Xiyan took a sip of wine, raised her eyes, and took a deep breath.
"I have a loving father and mother, a mischievous but understanding younger brother, a hardworking older cousin who is devoted to the affairs of the state, and a well-behaved younger sister."
I should be very happy, but I don't feel any joy at all. Why is that?
Jiang Haitian: "Perhaps you are too ungrateful. If a person wants too much, their mind will naturally be unable to find peace."
“You’re right,” Yu Xiyan said. “I’m just too ungrateful, which is why I’ve missed out on happiness time and time again. So tell me, is there still a chance to make up for all of this?”
Jiang Haitian: "Everyone should bear the consequences of their choices and decisions. As I said before..."
Some things, once missed, are missed forever; there's no going back.
Yu Xiyan took a sip of wine and lowered her head in deep thought.
Seeing that she remained silent, Jiang Haitian turned and left.
Suddenly, Yu Xiyan asked, "Do you think if I give up everything I have now and accept his life, he would be willing to take me away?"
Jiang Haitian shook his head and sneered, "I told you, some things are missed once they're gone, and there's no point in trying to make up for them later."
Yu Xiyan gave a self-deprecating laugh: "It seems I really have no chance at all. That's right, I hurt him to this extent, what right do I have to win him back?"
"It's good that you can understand this. Go back now. Don't dwell on the past anymore. Living a good life in the future is the most important thing."
As he spoke, Jiang Haitian looked up and saw a wisp of auspicious cloud drifting across the dark night sky.
The next moment, a letter suddenly flew in from outside the city wall.
Jiang Haitian caught it with his backhand.
The letter contained only one sentence: Tianqing Gorge, Yongye River.
"Hehe, has it started?"
Jiang Haitian shattered the letter in his hand and strode quickly toward the border.
Witnessing Jiang Haitian's departing figure, Yu Xiyan sat quietly at the edge of the wall.
At this moment, all her fierceness seemed to have vanished.
Her beautiful face appeared exceptionally serene under the moonlight, devoid of scheming or jealousy, as pure as a blank sheet of paper.
"Jiang Haitian, thank you."
Then, her gaze turned cold, and she threw down the wine pot in her hand, looking towards the direction of Yue Beiqing's camp in Tianqing Gorge.
...
Yongyechuan, the highest peak of Tianqing Gorge.
Jiang Haitian stood on the edge of the cliff with one hand behind his back, gazing at the landscape and mountains, quietly waiting for his opponent to arrive.
Suddenly, a ghostly chant echoed over the Eternal Night River.
A chilling wind blew, and in an instant, the surrounding air became so oppressive it was almost maddening.
Dongfang Xiong's gaunt figure slowly appeared behind him.
"You are Jiang Haitian?"
With a single question, the aura of a ninth-rank Great Emperor was fully unleashed, causing the entire Eternal Night River to tremble slightly due to this aura and cultivation level.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Haitian chuckled and turned to look at that repulsive old face.
"Dongfang Xiong, the supreme master of the Demon Realm, is also Yue Beiqing's true mentor. Am I right?"
"Oh? You actually know me, and you know quite a lot about me?"
Jiang Haitian: "If I'm not mistaken, you've come here specifically to restrain me because of Yue Beiqing's actions tomorrow?"
"To restrain? Hahahaha..."
Dongfang Xiong laughed, his laughter echoing in the night like a vengeful ghost.
"Boy, you're too confident. I'm here to kill you!"
"Hahaha……"
Now it was Jiang Haitian's turn to laugh.
"Kill me? Let me tell you, if you had stayed on Supreme Peak, I really couldn't do anything to you. But now that you've come to me of your own accord..."
Then all I can say is this: after tonight, Dongfang Xiong will become the first emperor to perish in the history of the Demon Realm!
This is fate, do you understand?
The pockmarks on Dongfang Xiong's face kept writhing, and his withered hands slowly clenched into fists.
"Then let me see how fate will make me a part of history!"
After saying that, he unleashed a lightning-fast attack.
The evil claws of the underworld attacked Jiang Haitian like a sudden storm.
Jiang Haitian remained unmoved, the water and fire pearl in his hand spinning perfectly evenly.
Just as the Netherworld Claw was about to strike Jiang Haitian's vital point.
A cloud of auspiciousness, carrying an overwhelming imperial might, rapidly descended behind Jiang Haitian.
Boom~
The air surged and the dragon's roar stirred up sand and stones that rolled into the sky.
Faced with such spiritual power, Dongfang Xiong was forced back more than ten steps.
