Hearing Xiao Zhang's promise, Ye You was about to turn and leave when she suddenly heard him call out, stopping in her tracks.
"Can you promise me one thing?"
Xiao Zhang suddenly asked. Ye You remained silent, wanting to know what it was before responding.
If Anping Pass truly couldn't hold out any longer, she should help him take Cai Jiang and Yang Buqi away. As for him...
Ye You left, knowing that she would probably never forget the first few words spoken by Xiao Zhang. Despite some feelings of helplessness, they resonated more deeply than any other words could.
She had never imagined that the war strategy she had personally devised and the two-world conflict she had instigated would lead to so many unforeseen events.
He sought an explanation for the Dao Sect, a justification for those outside Anping Pass.
Xiao Zhang's voice was light, like a leaf floating on the River of Fate, as if Dongyi would soon be scattered by the tides of destiny.
It felt as though he had exhausted all his strength, yet his resolve was firm and powerful.
The wedding of Hong Ling and Hong Yulong arrived as promised. From late autumn to the depths of winter, for a full three months, cultivators from Tian Di Dong and even Nine Nether Yellow Spring came to offer their congratulations. The banquet at Guang Nao filled the entire Cloud Mist Manor, a lively scene that needed no embellishment; it was truly a pinnacle of human celebration, unmatched even by True Immortals.
In the sky, dragons and phoenixes soared together; birds flew through the air, suggesting that the Heaven and Earth Dao Demon Clan had come to celebrate. The spectacle was grand enough to leave attendees in awe of the Hong Clan's immense power.
With a bow to heaven and earth,
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of firecrackers completely drowned out the wedding festivities outside. Guests showered blessings upon the newlyweds, generously praising them without restraint.
After the ceremony, as the bride of Guang Nao made her way to the bridal chamber, Hong Yulong listened to the congratulatory remarks until his ears felt numb, yet he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
After enduring so much hardship, they had finally reached this point. How far could the Hong Clan go from here?
Gu Ping was raising a toast with everyone, enjoying a cup of fine wine, when he noticed a red figure at his feet. It tugged at his clothing while holding a thin piece of golden jade in its mouth.
The moment Gu Ping saw that small piece of golden jade, his mind, which had been slightly muddled by the Celestial Wine, instantly cleared. If Ye You's message was not urgent, it could have easily been delivered via Flying Message Paper without needing Yoyo to come personally.
He quietly crouched down to retrieve the jade and handed Yoyo a cup of Celestial Wine. Meanwhile, Chongming Guang seemed to sense something and slowly approached.
As Gu Ping glanced over, he froze in place, even dropping the peach he had just picked up. When he looked up again, he saw Chongming Guang standing opposite him, unsure of what to say.
The paper contained just a single sentence, yet it felt like a thunderclap that altered the entire landscape of the World of Mortals.
The Light Path Classic had entered the fray; the Dao Sect had fallen.
Gu Ping suddenly wanted to ask Chongming Guang if the strategy for the Light Path Classic had already been set in motion. He wanted to inquire with Hong Ling if there had been any forewarning. He wished to ask Xiazhi how the Light Path Classic dared to strike at that moment against the Dao Sect.
But everything concerning Bu Luo was no longer relevant; the Dao Sect was finished.
The Light Path Classic was also done for.
Though Gu Ping did not know what had transpired during those few short months, he understood that the downfall of the Dao Sect must have been instigated by the Light Path Classic. At that time, striking against the Dao Sect would make the Light Path Classic an enemy of every Daoist Sect, providing each one with a reason to join the battle.
At that moment, the Light Path Classic unexpectedly opened the curtain for The Battle of the Three Realms, something Gu Ping could never have anticipated.
As the catalyst for it all, the Light Path Classic, which had brought about the downfall of the Dao Sect, would now face the siege from the Sky East Dao Gate. The Light Path Classic was finished, with not a trace of survival left for Coco. Gu Ping felt that the Mahayana Practitioner of the Light Path Classic would not be Minghong.
But Gu Ping could not fathom why the Light Path Classic would seek such an outcome.
Seeing Gu Ping in a daze, Teng Minjue approached and jolted him back to reality. He hurriedly collected the gold paper from his legs and glanced at Chongming Guang.
The Dao Sect was no more.
Upon hearing Gu Ping's five words, Tenglan, known as Zhongshang, raised his wine cup again, still unable to process what Gu Ping had said. By the time he regained his senses, he sprayed a mouthful of wine all over the table, staring at Gu Ping in astonishment.
After a long pause, he finally managed to ask:
What about Anping Pass?
I don't know.
