"When you walk out of the mountain, you will already be a pure person."
"If one day you see me again, make sure to come over and greet me... Although, I might not respond to you."
"If we can become friends, remember to advise me not to care about what others say and to study medicine."
"..."
"Miss White Wine..."
Hu Ma listened to the voice of Miss White Wine behind him, growing fainter until it disappeared.
Inside, he was momentarily shaken, almost wanting to turn back, but he resisted.
This road only moves forward, with no turning back.
"Kid, travel well..."
A large hand grabbed his arm and pushed him forward, it was the Reincarnator from Anzhou, Old Sorghum.
"The Zhen Sui Hu Family is worthy of our respect..."
Someone waved a brocade robe, adorned with gold and jade, it was the Five Skin from Mengzhou.
"So there really is someone who dares to draw a sword against Tai Sui. Little brother, I believe you will be the fiercest man..."
Laughter rang out, it was Yubing Shao.
"Senior, senior..."
An anxious voice sounded, suddenly hugging Hu Ma and pushing him to walk swiftly forward, sweet potato's small head peeked out from under his arm.
In this deep, mysterious place, her face showed no trace of fear, only urgency, saying: "Senior, remember clearly, you must remember clearly, my home is on Qingdao North Old Street... Remember to come find me for fun..."
"I'll take you out dancing and introduce you to some sisters..."
"..."
One hand after another, helping Hu Ma, rushed towards the dim front, halos surrounding Hu Ma, one after another extinguishing.
One person after another gave their utmost strength to help approach Tai Sui, then quickly disappeared.
Hu Ma had no time for sorrow, but the closer he got to Tai Sui, the stronger his resolve:
"I will, I definitely will..."
"..."
"..."
"Gone far..."
At the crumbled border of the Netherworld Palace and the underworld, on Naihe Bridge, the State Preceptor and others stood at the farthest reach of this world.
But they still saw Hu Ma take a step, far away from the human world, until he went to the deepest part the mind could reach, unattainable, the State Preceptor was frustrated, angry, cursed, but finally, could only smile bitterly:
"Damn it, truly, just like the sons and grandsons of the Iron-headed Hu Family..."
"We have always aimed to expel Tai Sui, always thought that expelling Tai Sui was the hardest thing to do..."
"Turns out you had the idea from the start to kill Tai Sui..."
"..."
"So, now... now what is it?"
And on Da'ai Mountain, hearing the State Preceptor curse while opening his eyes, the Wang family members were already sweating profusely.
They had just understood something, even felt that a force that would traverse heaven and earth, suppress all things, was about to appear in this world, yet did not expect that it was just a dream, on Da'ai Mountain, the Purple Qi rolled, but in the end, life was ethereal.
"What else?"
The State Preceptor stood up, under the gaze of Calculation and the Wang family members, both angry and excited.
Shouted loudly: "Destiny has arrived, it's time for the Luotian Festival..."
"The possibility of us accomplishing this great festival is unprecedented, unimaginably high..."
"Because, we have already surrounded Tai Sui!"
"..."
"Huh?"
The Wang family, unable to understand the so-called "surrounding Tai Sui", what concept it was, but could also feel this world being different.
Most different was the corpse of the Hu family descendant ahead, unable to tell whether he was alive or dead, only feeling that where he lay was the center of the world, the source of all life, yet, he himself...
...life was cut off.
Only when the State Preceptor extended his hand, they unhesitatingly took out the pill they refined with Purple Qi in Da'ai Mountain, which the State Preceptor then fed to Hu Ma.
"He left the human world, went too far, reaching a place we cannot touch, nor help."
"Because the place he went is too deep, moreover, not knowing how much time there equals how long in the human world..."
"But we need to preserve his corporeal form, is your Wang family's pill enough?"
"..."
"Yes!"
The Wang family, not guaranteeing anything else but confident in their pill: "One pill is enough to sustain him for a year."
The State Preceptor sighed: "A year, huh?"
"Hope it's enough!"
"..."
"..."
"Gone? All gone?"
Meanwhile, in the human world, Er Guotou was rushing towards Da'ai Mountain, but halfway there, heard the voice of Tieguanyin, knowing where they all went, then heard the State Preceptor command the Ten Surnames in the underworld, also knowing what happened to Hu Ma.
Those guys, did they really just leave? Just that assuredly, placing the last burden entirely on him?
"Is this even reasonable, leaving without a word..."
"I haven't even boarded the car yet..."
"Could it be that I acted too high-profile usually? Seeming too reliable? How could you leave only me behind?"
"..."
He cursed furiously, intensely, also genuinely heartbroken.
No Reincarnator could understand his feelings at the moment, in this vast world, although an unfamiliar land, yet he knew there were many similar to him.
At worst, he had friends he had confided in for many years.
But in the blink of an eye, everyone left, in the vast lands and skies, nowhere was there anyone similar left, only himself...
