When the group descended the mountain, it was already deep into the night.
At the foot of the mountain, they discovered twelve corpses of wind chaser beasts, their cores had already been taken away, leaving only their bloody remains discarded by the roadside.
The three of Man of Unparalleled Talent appeared somewhat desolate. As they silently hurried along, they frequently turned their heads to glance around them or looked back, seemingly still searching for Wei Wuyan's trace.
It felt as if he was still by their side, but when they looked up, they found nothing.
This sensation was the most bitter and difficult to bear.
Thinking back on the past year, accompanying Wei Wuyan in the martial arts world through countless life-and-death situations… now, they had finally managed to escape from a fatal crisis.
However, Wei Wuyan had died not long after their escape…
They finally arrived at the small tavern previously mentioned, sat down, ordered food and drinks, but as they raised their cups to drink, they recalled that it was Wei Wuyan who first suggested coming here for a drink, which made it impossible for them to eat or drink.
Silently, they poured cup after cup of fine wine onto the ground, and in an instant, the tavern was filled with the aroma of wine.
Wuyan, can you taste this?
Is this enough for you to get drunk?
Not enough? I’ll pour more!
The clear wine poured onto the ground was greedily absorbed by the earth. After a long while, Bao Bu Huai suddenly cried out with a hoarse voice. Man of Unparalleled Talent and Cheng Duying lowered their heads, their eyes red.
Wuzhuo City remained silent, not saying a word, displaying remarkable patience. If it were for anything else, he would have lost patience long ago, but when it came to this truest brotherhood in the world, Wuzhuo City showed an unusual tolerance.
Even admiration.
It seemed that if they could have a little more time like this, even if it stretched to the ends of the earth, it wouldn’t matter.
The tavern owner looked fearfully at these peculiar individuals, not daring to speak.
After a long time, Man of Unparalleled Talent forced a smile and said, “As martial artists, since we embarked on this path, we have always been prepared for this day… Wei Wuyan just left a day earlier, and besides, he has fulfilled his wish… There’s no need to be sad. Sooner or later, we will also move on… At this age, still acting like this, it’s quite laughable… Come, let’s eat.”
Cheng Duying’s eyes were red, and he raised his wine cup, saying, “Indeed, Wuyan once said he wanted to get drunk here; today, we shall get drunk!”
The group raised their cups and drank deeply, a wave of warmth surged into their chests, and in that instant, their blood seemed to ignite!
“If Xing Yi and the others knew… that just after leaving, Wuyan…” Bao Bu Huai took a few drinks, with emotions rising, he said, “They would probably beat us to death…”
Man of Unparalleled Talent responded with a half-laugh, “If they beat us up, I wouldn’t actually mind…”
During the meal, the three of them did not use their cultivation levels to suppress themselves and managed to drink down fifteen jars of wine; they were so drunk that Chu Yang had to carry them into the tavern's guest room.
Chu Yang closed the door behind him and heard them still babbling inside, occasionally interspersed with drunken ramblings.
“Wuyan, let’s have another drink!”
“Old Wei, come, come, come… let’s get drunk together…”
“Old Wei, screw you, turns out you’re not dead… come, come, come, let’s drink a jar…”
…
It seemed that in their drunken dreams, they were still drinking with Wei Wuyan, talking happily, sharing aspirations, laughing together, facing the world’s storms…
Chu Yang only felt his heart tremble slightly. He gently closed the door and went to the tavern yard, gazing at the starry sky, letting out a long sigh.
A shadow flashed, and Wuzhuo City quietly appeared behind him.
“What are your plans?” Wuzhuo City asked quietly.
