The sky is clear tonight, a bright moon hangs on a corner of the tower of Huajian City, and stars are scattered among the people.
The beastmen retreated, and the living laughed, celebrating their victory and the thousands of years of peaceful life that would follow; the living also cried, mourning the monks who died for Huajian City and for the human race.
The gates of Huajian City were wide open to welcome the triumphant crowd. Leading the way was Luo Fei, the great uncle of the Luo family, and Feng Yi and his group were standing beside him.
Feng Yi waited calmly. Xiao Huan said that the defensive magic weapon had a total of three effects and it had only been used once. Ye Ming and Xiao Mo must be fine, and there was nothing abnormal in the contract between Xiao Mo and himself. Only then could he safely welcome Ye Ming and Xiao Mo at the city gate.
But Uncle Luo Fei was a little nervous, he felt a little palpitating. During these thousands of years, he had seen off his parents, brothers and sisters, nephews and nieces. Now, only he and Luo Ying and his son were left in the Luo family. Luo Fei was a little scared at the moment. How many more people could he see off with his own hands?
Finally, a large number of monks began to appear. Those at the front were from the outer ranks. They weren't very powerful, but they were the backbone of the resistance against the beast tide. They were clamoring and making a commotion as they hurried towards the city. Everyone had only one thought in mind: Go home! Go home quickly!
Finally arriving at the city gate, Uncle Luo Fei and the others bowed and saluted the monks who had fought bravely. The monks all laughed heartily. Although they felt a little embarrassed, they accepted the salute with peace of mind and then rushed to the city.
More and more people came back, but Feng Yi still didn't see Ye Ming. Even though he knew they were fine, he felt anxious. Gradually, fewer and fewer people came back, and finally, Ye Ming, He You and Luo Heng appeared together.
When Xiao Mopan saw Feng Yi's figure on Ye Ming's hair crown, he immediately rushed into Feng Yi's sleeve and wrapped his arms around his arms. He felt comfortable on Feng Yi's body, which was soft and fragrant.
Feng Yi quickly waved at the three of them, and they took a few steps and came in front of Feng Yi and Uncle Luo Fei.
Seeing Ye Ming unharmed, Feng Yi couldn't help but pounce on him and hugged him. Ye Ming naturally hugged Feng Yi back immediately, tightening his arms as if he wanted to merge him into his body.
Feng Yi whispered in Ye Ming's ear: "Welcome home."
"Yeah, I'm back." Ye Ming replied.
In two days, the two of them experienced life and death again, but finally escaped without any danger. Feng Yi felt the familiar breath on Ye Ming's body and just didn't want to let him go, fearing that he would disappear as soon as he let go.
When Luo Heng next to him said in a frivolous tone: "Yo yo yo, it really feels like three years have passed since we last met. Come on, come on, brother You, let's hug each other too."
Feng Yi then slowly let go of Ye Ming, his face slightly red, while Ye Ming glared at Luo Heng fiercely, thinking he hadn't hugged him enough!
Uncle Luo Fei knocked on Luo Heng's head, then pulled Luo Heng and He You to his side. He carefully checked their bodies and made sure that there was nothing serious. Then he nodded and let them go.
At this moment, many more people appeared, led by Hua Qianlou and Wang Xuan, followed by Long Xiao, Hu Ye and Liu Qing, and further behind them were the cultivators from Huajian City.
When Uncle Luo Fei saw so many people coming back, he was happy at first, but then he found that one person was missing. His face suddenly turned pale and his body shook. He was supported by He You beside him.
Luo Heng stared at the people who had returned with wide eyes. "Where's my dad?" "No, no, my dad is so powerful, how could he not have come back? I must have missed him!"
When everyone arrived at the city gate, Hua Qianlou and Wang Xuan knelt before Uncle Luo Fei. Tears streamed down Hua Qianlou's cheeks as he trembled and said, "Uncle, uncle, my elder brother, he, he..."
Unable to continue, Wang Xuan beside him burst into tears. Behind him, everyone from Huajian City also knelt on the ground, while the three people from the three major sects bowed their hands and bowed.
In the end, it was Elder Liu Qing of Baiye Valley who spoke out, "The Beast Tribe broke their promise, and the peak Spiritual Sect masters came out. For the sake of Huajian City, Gang Leader Luo activated the Yin-Yang Reversal Blood Technique and perished alongside them."
Yin-Yang Reversal Blood Technique, which means my nephew didn't even leave behind a body. Luo Fei's already shaky figure trembled even more at this moment, and he tightly grasped He You who was supporting him.
When he heard the words "die together", Luo Heng's mind seemed to explode like a thunder, and suddenly everything went blank. Die together, what a good way to die together. Mom died like that, and now Dad is gone like that too?
Do you love your mother so much that you have to choose how she dies?
Luo Heng calmed himself down, and he and He You helped Hua Qianlou and Wang Xuan up respectively. Then, suppressing his grief, he asked, "Aunt Hua, Uncle Wang, where is my father now?"
Hua Qianlou and Wang Xuan were both speechless. Even Liu Qing opened his mouth but said nothing.
Luo Heng looked at everyone in confusion. Just as he was about to ask again, he heard his uncle calmly say, "Once the Yin-Yang Reversing Blood Technique is used, nothing will remain of your father's body. Heng'er, build a cenotaph for your father."
It was a very light sentence, but Luo Heng felt a rumbling sound in his head, and even his body became stiff and cold, and he didn't obey his command. He You beside him quickly hugged him and let him lean on his arms.
But there was still no warmth in Luo Heng. He had no idea how he got back to the city or the gathering of heroes. He only knew that he would be an orphan without a father or a mother from now on.
Feng Yi and Ye Ming saw it all, but they didn't know how or where to comfort her.
Feng Yi has no parents in his past or present life, and Ye Ming also lost his mother early, and his father's life or death is unknown. Although each one is more miserable than the other, none of them are as heart-wrenchingly tragic as Luo Heng.
The next day, the whole city was in mourning to commemorate the dead heroes. Luo Heng personally hung white silk on the door plaque of the Heroes' Gathering, and he and He You personally welcomed the mourners at the door.
Overnight, the lively and cheerful Luo Heng disappeared, and now the mature and steady Luo Gang Leader appeared before everyone.
Feng Yi didn't know why, but he saw the shadow of Gang Leader Luo Ying in him, and also seemed to see the shadow of his uncle. He wondered what these two were like when they were young. Would they also be lively and active?
Feng Yi spoke to Luo Heng for a few words, and Luo Heng smiled and said to him, "Aunt Hua said that before my father died, he asked me and my uncle to go out for a walk. I might go look for you guys later, and then you can be the host."
"Yes, that's right. Let's go out for a walk. Huajian City will be safe for at least a thousand years. You and your uncle can rest assured." Feng Yi replied.
"But I can't let the Luo family down. The Luo family will always be the Luo family of Huajian City!"
