Although there were many speculations about Ye Youluo's actions from Gu Ping and others, no one could confirm which guess was correct before Ye Youluo truly moved against them. Therefore, regardless of whether the initial situation was a dragon's den or a tiger's lair, Gu Ping had to leave.
From the moment the speculation arose, Gu Ping sent Han Yu to inform Hong Yulong to use the people at Sky's End Tower to investigate the background of the Stewards and Elders of Universe Hall. However, they only had a day left, and for such a massive entity as Universe Hall, not only was it difficult to investigate the Stewards' backgrounds, but even determining how many Elders there were proved challenging.
After the Sky East Tournament concluded, we should leave first; he would come to find us at Cangqing Mountain. After all, it was important to fulfill his wish, and he wanted to complete what he had promised her.
Gu Ping took out the somewhat imprecise Jade Token left by Xiazhi at Chen Guoxian's residence. Whenever he had nothing to do, he would take it out to look at it. More than half a year had passed since Mingjing, yet Xiazhi's faintly smiling face still lingered in his mind. Gu Ping knew that he was indeed heartless; he could not view life with indifference like an ant, especially when it came to those close to him.
His cold gaze did not mean that the connection between his soul and body was weak; rather, his body was composed of pure spiritual energy, which made the fusion with his soul stronger. As his realm improved, that aspect had significantly improved as well; he was no longer like he was a few years ago when he first awakened.
But he couldn't just watch himself walk into death. That would be Ye Youluo; perhaps no one could escape her schemes. How could he destroy her plans? What did it matter if he died? There was no point in saying anything about leaving first; he regarded Han Yu as something more than just a subordinate—he considered him a servant who would never abandon him.
Jiang Anbo angrily reprimanded Gu Ping but was met with Gu Ping's pleading gaze.
If we stayed in the city, it would burden him and Night Emperor. In Jie Donglai's battle, Huashen Dong might not be able to hold on much longer. He promised me that if we left, nothing would happen to him. Even if he fought Bu Luo, he still had backup to protect himself. I believed in him; hadn't I noticed something missing around him these days?
Gu Ping's reminder made Jiang Anbo blink. He thought about it—yes, it seemed like something had been missing from Gu Ping these days, but what exactly? Jiang Anbo couldn't pinpoint it at that moment. However, at that moment, he could be sure that Gu Ping was someone deeply trapped in danger with no way out.
Did the young master think of Sister Summer Solstice?
Han Yu knew her feelings for Gu Ping were different from others. She had used secret methods to elevate her strength to Nascent Soul level. She didn't have The Book of Radiant Path or Hong Yulong’s solid foundation in cultivation like Mu Qinglong did; she felt like a stray without a home—a remnant of Light Path Classic. The peak of her life might only reach Peak of Nascent Soul; it would be difficult for her to advance further. Yet she wished she could stay by Gu Ping’s side during that time.
Since being brought out of Spring Pavilion by Che Qiangxuan and seeing Gu Ping again, Han Yu’s only purpose in staying at Sky's End Tower was to wait—waiting in the courtyard while looking at the Golden Koi Gu Ping had given her, hoping for his return.
The only thing she could do for the person before her was to accept that he would never belong to her, nor would he belong to the wandering woman she once was.
He always wanted to live. At first, he thought he was just someone who liked a girl, but later he realized it was his own selfishness that led him to a promise devoid of meaning. Someone once told him that living itself didn’t require any reason, and there was nothing wrong with simply existing. Yet, he pondered whether his life held any significance, much like that person from the past. Did he know? That person lived on, rejected by friends, ruthless individuals, family, disciples, and even those who should have supported him. Still, he persisted through the brutal torment each day. Was that truly meaningful?
Perhaps it was just that the young master didn’t understand. Everyone lived in their own world, and there were always things belonging to them that needed doing. Wasn’t that the meaning of their existence?
But he never believed in fate, just as fate had never stood by his side.
With his legs tucked away, Jade Token looked at Han Yu with determination. In Han Yu and Jiang Anbo's eyes, it was the first time they saw such fervor in Gu Ping. The rational Gu Ping, who never made mistakes or gave enemies any chances, had vanished. In his place stood a Gu Ping who sought to firmly grasp his destiny in his own hands—something that should not have been part of Gu Ping's ideals.
That something was called righteousness; it was called legacy.
At noon the next day, Jiang Anbo left, and Han Yu followed suit. The people prepared to receive them also departed.
Hong Yulong had left; Night Emperor had left; Xiao Zhang had left; Chu Yunfeng had left; Buqi and Jie Donglai were ready for whatever came next. Those remaining had made all necessary preparations for facing anything. Regardless of what Ye Youluo intended to do or what the Ninth Underworld sought to accomplish, they would fight to the death against the Nine Nethermen without retreating.
Mu Qinglong, Ye Youluo, Luo Tianming, and Zhou Zhou—four Nine Nether Cultivators—along with Tenglan, known as Zhongshang, and Gu Ping and Ying Zhan from the Dust Realm donned their respective teleportation rings and arrived at the initial location they aimed to enter.
