After listening to what Zhu Ziyi said, Yong Heng simply asked, "Does the Old Madam know?"
"have no idea."
"Yong Xiaoheng, I'm begging you one last time, I hope you'll never tell her..."
"Okay, I understand."
“I would tell her that you are exceptionally talented and have been chosen by the immortals to go on a cultivation journey, never to return!”
In the end, Yongheng still wanted to grant his request this time, all for the sake of the old lady...
The old lady is very old; if she knew...
After Zhu Ziyi finished speaking, before Chu Yu and the others could make a move, he suddenly fell silent...
Yongheng shakily reached out and removed the familiar mask from his face. He said, "How could I have lost my mask? It turns out it came here."
This person has always been like this since childhood; they like to use the same things as others. They're all grown up now, and they haven't changed...
As the mask was removed, the true face of the Black Wind Bandit was revealed to everyone. As expected, Zhu Ziyi under the mask was no longer the same Zhu Ziyi.
The plump, white face I remembered was gone, replaced by a skull, with only dark, empty eyes remaining on its entire face.
With a pang of heartache, Yong Heng reached for Zhu Ziyi's sleeve, but sure enough, there was nothing there...
He was a skeleton, just like Gu Xi said before, a monster that was neither human nor ghost.
This outcome was already predetermined when he chose this path; no one will sympathize with him, only feel a pang of regret.
Those harsh words were the cause, and Zhu Ziyi's choice was also the cause.
All phenomena are empty, but cause and effect are not!
Zhang Bo and Shang De were killed instantly by Yong Heng's sword.
Their reasons for aiding and abetting evil were even simpler: they had once received a life-saving favor from the Zhu family, and out of a desire to repay that debt, they went down a dark path...
It was already past midnight when I left the Zhenguo General's Mansion.
Yong Heng bowed respectfully to Chu Yu and the others.
"Thank you all for your help in rescuing the people of Huijin City from dire straits. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid..."
Yong Heng smiled wryly, "I probably never would have guessed it was them."
"Please accept Yong Heng's bow!"
Hua quickly helped him up, saying, "Yongheng, you don't need to do this. The Black Wind Bandits are not only your problem, but also ours."
Everything that happened to the Black Wind Thieves was caused by the Ghost Tear Pearl, so in the end, this is a matter of the Six Realms.
Yong Heng glanced at them.
Are you planning to leave now?
They exchanged a glance. "Yes."
Although I had a premonition, I was still reluctant to let go.
Yong Heng feigned nonchalance and said, "I won't say anything about forcing you to stay. I know you are no ordinary people. I only hope..."
"If we are fortunate enough to meet again someday, we can sit down and have a drink together!"
Tu Er slapped him on the shoulder, "Of course, don't forget to prepare some good wine!"
"Yong Heng will never forget!"
The group exchanged smiles.
Mountains and seas will eventually meet again, and storms will eventually come to an end!
Farewell!
After Chu Yu and the others left, Yong Heng did not leave immediately. Instead, he waited until Chen Shi (7-9 AM) to inform the Old Madam of Zhu Ziyi's whereabouts before riding away.
The once magnificent Zhenguo General's Mansion, bathed in the morning light, is now only inhabited by a lonely old man...
The news of Zhu Ziyi's cultivation of immortality spread like wildfire throughout Huijin City in less than half a day, reaching the ears of Ling Feng, who had just returned to camp from the outskirts of the city.
He was slightly taken aback, then felt relieved.
She will always remember the man who stood up for her. It's a pity some words were left unsaid, but she sincerely hopes that young man will one day achieve great things and have a bright future...
With the news that Zhu Ziyi had gone to cultivate immortality, the Black Wind Bandit incident, which had caused quite a stir, came to an end in Huijin City.

Tu Er looked at the Ghost Tear Astrological Bead in Chu Yu's hand and asked curiously, "Chu Yu, what's the origin of this Ghost Tear Astrological Bead?"
"Even my and Gu Xi's souls are affected."
"What's so strange about that? If it had been someone else in control yesterday, like Yongheng, you wouldn't have been able to escape so easily."
"It's only because Zhu Ziyi truly lacks any talent that it can only affect your souls!"
Chu Yu handed the Ghost Tear Pearl to Hua, who took it and examined it carefully.
After hesitating for a moment, he said, "This, could it be the legendary Ghost Tear Pearl, forged from the living souls of ten cities?"
Hua Gang had been thinking about the bead more and more on the way here, and it was only after Chu Yu said those words that she suddenly remembered that this was the Ghost Tear Bead recorded in the "Records of the Six Realms"!
"Ten cities?!"
"A living soul?!"
Gu Xi and Tu Er were both shocked. Using the souls of ten cities to refine such a bead was truly cruel!
However, Tu Er was puzzled, "How come there's not a single word about such a big thing?"
Chu Yu glanced at Gu Xi and said, "There are two reasons. First, it happened a long time ago. This matter occurred during the time of the Ancestral God, which is about 300,000 years ago. Second..."
Chu Yu raised his eyes and looked at Gu Xi meaningfully, "The one who refined this thing was the ancestor of the Immortal Clan, the current—Feng Li Immortal Venerable!"
"Immortal Venerable Feng Li?"
"Ancestor Feng Li?"
"How is this possible?"
Gu Xi hurriedly denied it, and then emphasized, "This is absolutely impossible! Immortal Venerable Feng Li has always been a highly respected ancestor of our Immortal Clan!"
Tu Er and the others were also skeptical. "Yes, Chu Yu, are you mistaken? Immortal Venerable Feng Li is a person of noble virtue throughout the Six Realms. If she really committed such a heinous crime, how could she still be alright?"
"Logically speaking, he should have been devoured by the backlash of cause and effect long ago, and his soul and body would have been destroyed."
Chu Yu looked at Tu Er with a playful smile, "Yes, that old thing should have perished long ago, yet he's still alive and well, enjoying all the honors and privileges. Why is that?"
Chu Yu stared directly at Gu Xi without any politeness.
Even though Gu Xi had a good temper, she wasn't someone to be trifled with. She let Chu Yu talk about her ancestor without any reaction.
"Chu Yu, Immortal Venerable Feng Li is the ancestor of my Immortal Clan, and you cannot be allowed to slander him like this!"
Their eyes met, neither willing to give in, and as the atmosphere grew tense, Hua quickly tried to smooth things over.
"Alright, you two, we're just discussing the Ghost Tear Pearl. Let's stick to the facts and not bring up anything else!"
The atmosphere improved slightly, so let's get back to the main topic.
Seeing that neither of them intended to speak, Hua took over and looked at Gu Xi, saying, "Gu Xi, what Chu Yu said was not just empty talk."
"it took?"
"Gu Xi, I know what you want to say, but that's all I can tell you. I have nothing more to say!"
It's not the right time to reveal Chu Yu's identity as the main god. She also can't tell them that it's recorded in the "Records of the Six Realms." Everyone knows that only the main god is qualified to open the "Records of the Six Realms"!
Wan Ke, who had been silent until now, couldn't help but ask after hearing what Hua said, "So, the Ghost Tear Pearl was really made by Immortal Venerable Feng Li?"
"Then why is it in Zhu Ziyi's hands?"
Before they could answer, a voice interrupted.
"Sister Hua!"
