After they left for a while, the prison warden came back.
The prison door was closed, and the migration of the Fifth Domain was coming to an end. The New Capital City's coronation ceremony was being prepared in full swing.
A new world, a new era, seemed to be coming. The world was filled with the aura that there would be no more wars in the future. At least, that was what was announced to the people.
To the people of the world, it was indeed exciting news that there would be no more wars. Even if many people's lives were difficult or even difficult to continue, they had the confidence to persevere and hope that the beautiful day would come.
Everything and everyone seemed to be radiating a new aura all of a sudden …
Under the peach blossom tree in the Peach Blossom Spring.
The wind blew. Shang Shuqing raised his head to welcome the falling petals. His face was filled with happiness as he reached out to catch a petal.
Niu Youdao was back. He returned to the place that he had never returned to since he left. This was the place where he had spent five years of his life.
At this moment, he was standing beside Shang Shuqing, accompanying her. Looking at the happiness on her face, he smiled and said, "The first time we met was here."
Shang Shuqing glanced at him, her cheeks blushing and her eyes sparkling as she recalled the past. She recalled the first time they met, the first time she saw him sleeping under the peach blossom tree. She looked up at the brilliant peach blossoms and smiled, muttering, "So beautiful!"
Looking at her face, Niu Youdao turned his gaze and looked into the distance. Suddenly, he said, "I'm leaving. I'm going to the fifth domain and leave this world. Perhaps I'll never return."
Shang Shuqing's heart skipped a beat. She turned back to look at him. Her eyes were filled with fear. She wanted to say something but stopped.
Niu Youdao slowly turned back to look at her. He looked at her with a sincere gaze. "I asked you a question back then, but I didn't get an answer. Today, I want to ask you again. Are you willing to entrust the rest of your life to me?"
Shang Shuqing thought that he was going to bid farewell to her. Hearing this, she became shy again.
Niu Youdao changed the way he asked, "Is Princess willing to come with me?"
Shang Shuqing nodded. "As long as Daoye doesn't mind."
Niu Youdao laughed: "Once you leave, you may never come back. Will Junzhu abandon your loved ones here?"
Shang Shuqing's gaze was gentle as he said softly, "Qing-er as a daughter of the Shang family has not let down her family. Older brother is about to rule the world so it is not important if Qing-er is not around."
Niu Youdao waved his sleeves, and a flying mount soared into the sky, circling around the bottom of the cliff.
Niu Youdao turned around and stretched out his hand in front of her.
Shang Shuqing looked at him shyly and reached out her hand. She gently placed her hand on his palm in a ceremonial manner. She had truly given herself to him.
Holding her hand, Niu Youdao invoked his art and the two of them flew out of the cliff together. Along with the fluttering petals, they both landed on their flying mounts.
As they were about to leave, Niu Youdao looked back at the Shangqing Sect and sighed. "It's time to go."
Shang Shuqing asked, "Leaving like this, are you not going to say goodbye to Yuan Fang and the rest?"
"It's good that you came." Niu Youdao waved his sleeves and the flying mount carried both of them into the sky, flying far away.
A large flock of crow generals also rose into the sky and chased after them.
"Daoye! Daoye … "Yuan Fang flew between the mountains and stood on top of a mountain to shout, but no one turned around.
He scratched his bald head in bewilderment. Daoye did not greet him when he came, nor did he greet him when he left …
In the boundless desert, a group of people were waiting.
The people from Thatched Cottage Villa had already arrived, including Zhong Guzi and the others who were under house arrest.
Zhao Xiongge had also arrived with the people from the Shangqing Sect.
Yuan Gang had asked them to enter the fifth domain first, but Zhao Xiongge refused. He was also waiting here with the people from the Shangqing Sect.
A large number of Scorpion Kings were still lying on the sand, waiting quietly.
Yuan Gang, who was carrying the Three Howling Saber and a bag, stood on the highest sand dune nearby, looking into the distance.
Guan Fangyi, who was beside him, suddenly pointed and shouted, "It's here."
Everyone looked over and saw a dark cloud approaching. It was getting closer and closer, then it descended like a tornado.
Niu Youdao held Shang Shuqing's hand and floated down from the flying mount. He glanced at everyone and asked, "Is everyone here?"
Yuan Gang replied, "Everyone is here."
The people from the Shangqing Sect looked at Niu Youdao anxiously.
Sect Master Tang Yi's expression did not change. Time did not seem to have left any traces on her face. Her gaze fell on Niu Youdao and Shang Shuqing's tightly held hands, then fell on Shang Shuqing's face.
She had heard that the princess was very beautiful after recovering her true appearance. She had seen how Shang Shuqing looked in the past, and she was indeed very beautiful today.
Niu Youdao nodded slightly to Shang Shuqing and let go of her hand.
Shang Shuqing turned to face the black mass of Crow Generals who had landed on the ground. He suddenly shouted in a loud voice, "The Grand General is here. All soldiers, listen up. The world is at peace. Take off your armor and return!"
Rapid bangs sounded. Countless Crow Generals exploded into smoke and transformed into human figures. The mighty army stood on the undulating sand.
With the leader of the Crow Generals in the lead, they all knelt on one knee and faced Shang Shuqing, buzzing.
The others could not understand what they were saying, but Shang Shuqing was moved. He tightened his lips and shed tears.
The leader of the Crow Generals stood up and quickly dissipated like smoke. Finally, he disappeared without a trace. Only his sword and armor were left on the sand dune.
After that, the mighty army all turned into smoke and rose into the sky. Gradually, they disappeared, leaving behind a pile of weapons and armor.
A royal flag with the word "Shang" was blown far away by the wind.
The scene was exceptionally spectacular and shocking. Everyone was silent. Most of them did not know what was going on.
Niu Youdao held Shang Shuqing's hand again. He turned to Yuan Gang and said, "Let's go."
Yuan Gang turned back and shouted, "Let's go!"
The group landed behind the large group of Scorpion Kings. With Yuan Gang's roar, the group of Scorpion Kings ran wildly in the desert. Finally, they plunged into the sand …
When they emerged from the sand, it looked like they were still in the desert. However, the sun in the sky proved that they had arrived in another world.
The people who came for the first time looked around.
"Ha …" Amidst Yuan Gang's roar, the group of Scorpion Kings rushed in the same direction again.
After rushing all the way, the group arrived at the place where the pyramid used to be. However, the pyramid was no longer there.
Yuan Gang determined the direction based on the oasis in the distance. He shouted for all the Scorpion Kings to stop. Most of the Scorpion Kings burrowed into the ground, allowing everyone to land.
Only the one under Yuan Gang's feet, which was the one that Niu Youdao and the others were riding on, stayed in the same place.
Everyone looked around. Most of them did not know why they had stopped here. Yuan Gang turned to look at Niu Youdao. He silently took off his bag and handed it to Niu Youdao.
Niu Youdao took the bag and asked, "You and I have been brothers for so many years. Are you really not going to reconsider? It's not too late to regret! "
Yuan Gang silently took out the sword from the bag and tied it to his waist. It was the Void Splitting Sword of the Eight Divine Artifacts!
Seeing his attitude, Niu Youdao did not say anything more. He held Shang Shuqing's hand and flew away from the Scorpion King, landing on the sand.
"Daoye, take care. Let's go! "Yuan Gang shouted. The Scorpion King under his feet changed direction and rushed away again.
Niu Youdao watched him leave. Yuan Gang did not look back.
Zhao Xiongge walked over and asked, "Where is he going?"
Niu Youdao: "Back to the human world. Cut off the passage!"
Zhao Xiongge was slightly shocked. "Doesn't that mean he can't come back?"
Niu Youdao's expression was indifferent. "It's been so many years … Let him be."
Everyone looked at each other.
…
The Scorpion King ran wildly in the desert. The towering pyramid in front of them gradually appeared in their sight.
Yuan Gang rushed to the Scorpion King that had come to a sudden stop at the foot of the pyramid. Using the inertia, he jumped up and landed halfway up the pyramid. He climbed up crazily as if he didn't care about his life. He rushed to the top and hurriedly cleared the sand on the stone platform before jumping up.
Swish! The Void Piercing Sword was unsheathed. Yuan Gang held the sword with both hands and was about to thrust it into the groove. However, Yuan Gang froze and could not do it. He was panting.
Climbing those steps seemed to have exhausted all his strength.
"Ah …" In the end, he let out a long roar and knelt on one knee. The sword sank into the groove of the stone platform.
Rumble. There was a faint sound of thunder in the sky. Soon, rain clouds surged out.
Lightning flashed and thunder roared. Yuan Gang turned his head and jumped down from the highest point, landing on the third step at the top.
The wind and clouds surged, blowing his clothes. He stared in the direction where he had ridden the Scorpion King.
The Scorpion King at the foot of the pyramid was so scared that it escaped.
Bang! A bolt of lightning crossed the sky and hit the hilt of the Void Piercing Sword.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Continuous thunderclaps hit it.
Continuous thunderclaps exploded behind Yuan Gang. Rays of bright light illuminated his figure, making him look like a deity descending to the mortal world. But at the same time, he seemed to be numb as he stood beside the Heavenly Thunder indifferently.
The earth trembled and the pyramid sank. The figure on the top seemed to be riding an ancient monster and sinking to the ground …
Somewhere in the desert of the Fifth Domain, the wind and clouds were also surging. Large dark clouds surged out from the darkness and gathered into a momentum.
In the sky where lightning flashed and thunder roared, the dark clouds seemed to be forming a vortex.
Everyone was surprised. Most of them did not know what was going on.
Niu Youdao looked up and muttered to himself, "It has begun."
When he turned to look at Shang Shuqing to see if she was afraid, he glanced at Tang Yi, who was looking at him not far away. Seeing that Niu Youdao was looking at her, Tang Yi immediately turned her head back.
Niu Youdao let go of Shang Shuqing's hand and walked slowly to Tang Yi.
Everyone looked at him. Shang Shuqing also looked at the person in front of him. The people from the Shangqing Sect also looked at him.
In this situation, with so many people staring at her, Tang Yi was slightly embarrassed. She asked, "What's the matter?"
Niu Youdao looked unusually emotional. Suddenly, he laughed. "I don't know if you will hate me. I don't want to let anyone down, but after all, I still let some people down. Tang Yi, I'm sorry! "
Tang Yi stared at him when he said this.
Niu Youdao had already turned around and walked back to Shang Shuqing's side. He looked up at the sky and the rotating dark clouds.
Yun Ji asked, "What's going on? What are you waiting for? "
As soon as she finished speaking, a black hole formed in the center of the rotating dark clouds. Light gradually flashed in the black hole, giving off a strange and dazzling feeling.
Niu Youdao frowned. After waiting for a while, he realized that the strange phenomenon in the sky had stabilized. It seemed like there would not be any more changes.
In other words, the strange and dazzling black hole was the passageway.
Niu Youdao suddenly reached out and hugged Shang Shuqing's waist in front of everyone. This made Shang Shuqing feel embarrassed, but he did not resist.
"Hong Niang, send us in." Niu Youdao turned around and called out. Seeing that Guan Fangyi was still stunned, he shouted, "Quick! We don't have much time left. "
Because they were not sure if it was a passageway, they had already wasted a lot of time.
Guan Fangyi did not hesitate anymore. She grabbed his arm and brought the two of them up into the sky. They flew directly into the center of the vortex.
The people below were stunned. They looked up and did not know what was going on.
Before rushing into the vortex, Niu Youdao turned around. "Hong Niang, go back and give me a palm strike. Send me on my way."
Guan Fangyi did not doubt him. She was used to obeying orders. She pushed her arm and exerted the greatest force. Both of them separated in an instant.
Niu Youdao used the force to fly. His clothes fluttered in the wind. He carried Shang Shuqing and sped up into the sky like a roc, disappearing into the strange and dazzling black hole.
Guan Fangyi landed lightly.
Yun Ji walked closer and asked suspiciously, "What is he doing?"
When the strange and dazzling black hole in the sky suddenly disappeared, so did the signs of thunder and lightning. The rolling dark clouds also dissipated quickly. There was no one left in the sky.
At this moment, most of the people's expressions changed. They realized something.
Nantian Wufang, who was in the crowd, slowly turned around and stared coldly at Wen Hua …
In the new capital's palace, the coronation ceremony was grand and spectacular.
On top of the city gate tower, Meng Shanming was in a wheelchair.
Meng Shanming was exhausted. Without the war, he could relax. His body and mind were not as strong as before. He did not have enough energy to carry out the complicated ceremony.
In order to avoid embarrassing himself, Meng Shanming refused to participate. He only watched the ceremony from the city gate tower.
But as he watched, he fell asleep. His skinny body leaned against the back of the chair. Someone carefully covered him with a blanket.
Feng Qiao's beard and hair turned white. He seemed to be murmuring names in his sleep. There were tears at the corner of his eyes. "Big Head, Long Bao …"
The coronation ceremony seemed to have fallen into an awkward situation.
In the main hall of the palace, Shang Chaozong was dressed in a royal robe. Feng Ruonan was dressed in a phoenix robe. The couple sat on top and accepted the worship of the officials.
But at this moment, the hall was quiet. The couple sat quietly on top while the officials stood quietly below.
Outside the hall, there were eunuchs running in and out from time to time. They looked outside as if they were waiting for someone.
Everyone in the hall knew that they were waiting for Niu Youdao. Niu Youdao had already been notified about the coronation ceremony. Niu Youdao had also replied that he knew.
Those who knew Niu Youdao knew that if he said he knew, then he knew. There was no need to ask too much. He had always done things in such an unpredictable manner.
To put it bluntly, they were all waiting for Niu Youdao to clear Shang Chaozong's name.
Now that Niu Youdao did not appear, nor did he say that he would not come, they did not know what to do. They did not know if they should continue waiting.
If they waited, they were afraid that when Niu Youdao came, it would be over. They were afraid that it would be inappropriate.
If Niu Youdao did not appear to clear Shang Chaozong's name, they were also afraid that people would think too much.
The eunuchs outside the hall were whispering to each other. Then, one eunuch rushed in and sat on the throne. He whispered to Shang Chaozong, "Your Majesty, Master Yuan sent a message. He said that Daoye has gone to the Fifth Domain and will not be coming back."
Already went to the Fifth Domain? Feng Ruonan turned around in shock.
Will not be coming back? Shang Chaozong was silent.
He looked up and saw the officials staring at him. He waved his hand for the eunuchs to leave. He stood up and announced loudly, "I have a Kingdom Knight. He is unparalleled in the world!"
The officials cupped their fists and bowed …
After a round of complicated etiquette, Feng Ruonan, who was done with her own scene, rushed to the back palace to receive the wives of the officials and do her part.
Suddenly, a eunuch rushed over and reported, "Your Highness, Daoye sent someone to deliver a gift."
Feng Ruonan was surprised, "Where is the gift?"
The eunuch said, "It has already been sent to Your Highness's main palace."
Feng Ruonan immediately rushed over and did not care about the families of the officials.
When she returned to the main palace, she saw a chest in the main hall.
Feng Ruonan waved her hand, "Open it!"
Two palace maids opened the chest and saw a chest full of gold coins. Feng Ruonan was surprised as she did not think that Niu Youdao would send such a vulgar gift.
Seeing that there was a letter on top of the gold coins, she immediately asked someone to pass it over.
When she took the letter, she saw that it said, "I have brought Qing-er away. The world is given to the Prince. I do not owe the Prince anything. The ten thousand gold coins that I borrowed from Wang Fei will be returned today. Wang Fei looked at it.
With just these few words, Feng Ruonan, who was in a daze, gradually remembered when Niu Youdao owed her ten thousand gold coins.
The past flashed in her mind. On the bamboo raft on the river, being tricked into marrying someone. Blades and swords flashing, husband and wife falling out. She was helped to endure it.
There were many storms in the past. Looking at the phoenix robe on her body today, that person returned her money and floated away.
Feng Ruonan, who was adorned with jewelry, smiled and shook her head. Then, she smiled and covered her mouth. She cried, unable to control her emotions, her tears falling like rain …
