Transcending the Nine Heavens

Everyone exchanged glances, feeling a bit reluctant.

During this time of shared hardship, especially in the tunnels where everyone depended on each other, those dark days remained the most memorable moments in their hearts.

Because during that time, it was the purest. There was no occasional scheming even among colleagues!

What existed was only the most genuine mutual support.

At this moment, as they suddenly parted ways, everyone felt a sense of unease in their hearts.

"I will handle the matters with the Enforcers as soon as possible," Xing Yi said solemnly, "Then I'll head southeast to find you!"

"Don't forget what I said," Chu Yang smiled.

"Of course not."

Chu Yang said, "There’s one more thing you all need to be careful about… After all, although you are fulfilling Lang's last wish, to some extent, it's also a betrayal of the Enforcers..."

"We understand," the four of them nodded seriously.

"Safe travels!" Wanren Jie said. Cheng Duying and Wei Wuyan also clasped their fists in farewell.

Xing Yi slowly raised his hand to salute, clasping his fists in respect: "Brothers, take care!"

After saying this, he looked at Wei Wuyan: "Old Wei, don't die! You can’t bear to leave your wife and children, and neither can the brothers bear to lose you..."

Wei Wuyan's face stiffened, forcing a smile: "Safe travels! Take care!"

"Next time we meet, let’s drink until we’re drunk!"

The four of them laughed heartily as they turned and left.

Like a breeze blowing across the land, they vanished without a trace in an instant...

Chu Yang and Wei Wuyan stood on the hill, watching the figures of the four slowly disappear over the horizon, and they didn’t speak.

"Wei brother, how… do you feel?"

Chu Yang said slowly without turning back.

Wanren Jie and the other two exchanged glances and quietly stepped back.

They knew that Chu Yang had something to say to Wei Wuyan. Staying here might be feasible, but… they still needed to consider Wei Wuyan's feelings.

Wei Wuyan remained silent.

"How were the days underground? Did you find any false camaraderie among those brothers?" Chu Yang asked somberly.

Wei Wuyan took a long breath and said, "Chu brother, rest assured… I won’t seek death on my own!"

A relieved smile appeared in Chu Yang's eyes: "Oh?"

Wei Wuyan revealed a hint of helplessness and smiled: "Actually… I also can’t bear to part with you all."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Wei Wuyan said, "Those two… are an eternal pain in my heart. I really want to go to them… I'm afraid that without me by their side, even in the Yin Realm, there might be evil spirits bullying them as orphans… I really want to see my wife again, to tell her that I understand now… I was foolish, I regret…"

He smiled sadly: "But besides that, I…"

"Now, I have brothers… they can’t bear to lose me."

"I can't bear to lose them either."

Wei Wuyan forced a smile: "Right now, I want to die, yet I don't want to die… it's quite contradictory. But at least… I won't seek death on my own anymore."

Chu Yang felt relieved and said: "It's good that you can think this way. In fact… there are many hypocrites like Hong Wuliang in this world. Countless people are deceived by them, and even… suffer from family ruin. Old Wei, now that you have such thoughts, you might as well pay more attention. If you can help those who share similar experiences to break the masks of these hypocrites… wouldn’t that also be a good deed?"

Wei Wuyan's eyes suddenly lit up.

Indeed, if that's the case, wouldn't it be even better?

No one knew the deep hatred Wei Wuyan harbored towards hypocrites like Hong Wuliang, wishing he could cut them to pieces!

Chu Yang chuckled softly, his mind wandering to Lang Yilang’s few words, wondering what they truly meant.

Just then, he heard Wei Wuyan say: "Chu Yang… although I won’t seek death on my own, I still request you for one thing. If one day… I die in battle, and if you can make it in time… please… grant me the heavenly petal orchid!"

Chu Yang was momentarily speechless and said: "You can rest assured! If that day truly comes… and you die without being treated, then… I will definitely fulfill your wish!"
