How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

The spiritual energy exploded, and the protective barrier opened, not to defend against external enemies, but because the speed that followed would be very fast!

"three minutes."

On the streets of the capital, the black sun walked through the gray fog.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 224 Since we've lost to the big city, at least we shouldn't forget where we started...

People came and went on the streets of the capital, completely unaware that the black sun, shrouded in black mist, passed by them.

Occasionally, a practitioner might sense something and turn to look, only to feel their hair stand on end and their back go numb, as if further investigation would lead to something terrifying. Apart from being covered in cold sweat, they would gain nothing.

One by one, the dead returned from the other side, and under the manipulation of the Black Sun, they blended into the crowd and dispersed to various corners of the capital with the flowing sea of ​​people.

Then, his pupils suddenly focused, and a look of confusion appeared on his face.

There seemed to be an instinctive voice in their minds guiding them on what to do, but upon closer inspection, that ethereal voice had completely vanished.

What reached my ears again were the laughter and shouts of passersby, and the meows of cats and howls of dogs from the street corners and alleys.

"This feeling……"

One of the returnees stared blankly at his excessively pale hands, trying to clench and unclench them, finally gripping them tightly: "Alive!"

Sight, smell, hearing...

The somber tones have become vibrant again.

"How wonderful the world is!"

Another returnee opened his arms, trying to embrace the blue sky amidst the puzzled gazes of onlookers.

Hei Yang wasn't worried about what would happen to them next; they were all qualified to enter and exit the ruins, so he didn't need to worry about them.

From that point on, there was no further connection.

It was even easier to send the five disciples to their deaths; Hei Yang simply threw them directly at the clan's main gate.

Yellow, red, white, blue...

In the blink of an eye, Hei Yang crossed most of the capital city, and the Hei family disciples were put down in front of the Hei family gate.

Hei Yang easily flipped and coughed...flew over the Hei family's wall. Don't ask why he didn't go through the door; he's traumatized.

He didn't plan to chat with his relatives and remained out of the public eye. They would likely meet again during the Lunar New Year this year, and there was nothing particularly important to say.

Inside the small house, the old woman wiped Hei Chen's mouth clean, feeling her son's faint but real heartbeat, and a gentle expression appeared on her face.

"Xiao Chen, don't you want to say a few words to Mom?"

Seeing her son's blank expression, the old woman hugged him, gently patted his back, and softly comforted him.

"It's okay if you're unhappy and don't want to talk about it today, Xiao Chen. Don't worry, take your time, take your time..."

Feeling the warmth of her son in her arms, the woman closed her eyes and whispered, "Mom knows you don't want this either, right?"

Of all the people who went, only my son came back. Some people said it was because our Xiao Chen deserted at the last minute, and others said that our Xiao Chen did something bad...

What do they know? Xiao Chen must have been reluctant to leave his mother, so he held on until he came back. That's Xiao Chen's ability. Don't listen to those people's nonsense.

They say this old woman must have gone mad from the shock, spending all her time here saying things she gets no response to…

Mom won't go crazy. If she went crazy, she wouldn't remember Xiaochen. Mom can't bear to part with Xiaochen either..."

"Oh, right!"

Suddenly remembering something, the woman quickly let go of his hand, picked up the porcelain bowl of water from the table next to her, and gently fed Hei Chen the water. Watching Hei Chen swallow unconsciously, the woman showed a slightly embarrassed smile.

"Mom almost forgot, the water she was cooling down almost got cold. Is Mom forgetful?"

Hei Chen stared blankly into space.

"It's okay if I don't get an answer..."

The woman spoke softly, "It's just like when you were little, you couldn't speak, you relied on your mother, and listened to her talk about things you couldn't understand... Isn't that the same?"

Yes, but you'll be able to laugh and cry then, and after a little over a year you'll be able to call me "Mommy"...

It's been five years since you came back that day, hasn't it?

Even after you grow up, Mom still wants to spend more time with you. If we think about it that way, wouldn't that give us an extra five years to spend together?

How does Xiaochen plan to spend Chinese New Year this year? Is she going to spend it with her mother again, and doesn't she want to go out for a walk?

I heard from your grandfather that he's thinking of going back to his hometown for the Spring Festival this year. What do you think, Xiao Chen?

"Xiao Chen... do you really not want to say a single word to your mother anymore...?"

The woman looked up at her son, smiling through her tears.

"It's okay, it's okay. Even if Mom grows old and dies without ever hearing you talk to her, it's alright..."

"But then, who will take care of me... Ugh... It's okay, it's okay, Mommy didn't cry. There are other family members after Mommy is gone..."

"..."

"Brother Hei Chen..."

Hei Yang looked at the woman in the room, then turned to look at the soul beside him, feeling a bit stuffy in his nose.

"Go back, don't make your aunt cry, it's hard for your cousin to see..."

"..."

Tears streamed down Hei Chen's face. He turned around, and his soul embraced Hei Yang: "Good brother."

"Yeah, bro."

Hei Yang embraced his cousin's spirit and whispered, "Auntie's health isn't good. Remember to help her take care of herself, or come to my hometown to see me later. I don't have much time now..."

"Ok!"

Hei Chen looked intently at his cousin, whom he hadn't seen for almost a decade, nodded heavily, and instructed, "Go back quickly, don't keep your family waiting."

"Goodbye."

Hei Yang said nothing more and waved goodbye.

Staring blankly at the spot where his cousin had disappeared, Hei Chen smiled slightly, hiding his gratitude in his heart: "Goodbye."

"Cough cough...cough...sigh..."

The woman wiped away her tears, looking at her son's shirt soaked with them. She forced a smile and said apologetically, "Mom's so useless, I'm just causing trouble for Xiao Chen. But, I don't know what happened just now, even though I'd already cried… and held on for so long, I still…"

"But I just sensed you were watching Mommy, Xiaochen, so I couldn't help myself..."

The woman felt a coolness and dampness on her head. She looked up blankly and saw a pair of tearful eyes.

"mom."

Hearing the long-awaited call, Hei Chen hugged his mother tightly, his voice trembling.

"It's alright, it's alright, it's all over..."

"Son... I dreamt of you again, it's so good..."

"It's not a dream..."

"Really?"

"real!"

The woman nestled in her son's arms and whispered, "Mom wants to cry."

"Then just cry it out."

"But Mom wants to laugh again..."

"Then laugh it off, don't hold it in."

"Hehehehe..."

The woman lay on her son's lap, laughed a few times, then couldn't help but cry out, "Chen, these past years have been so hard for Mom, so bitter, so tiring, waaaaah..."

"never mind……"

Hei Chen patted his mother's back: "It's really okay now..."

"..."

"..."

On the speeding airship, Hei Yang appeared beside Hong Li: "How much time?"

"It's over."

"no?"

Hei Yang raised an eyebrow: "Not two minutes and fourteen seconds?"

"I said it exceeded the limit, and that's final!"

Hongli looked up at Heiyang and whispered, "There will be a punishment for going over time."

"What punishment?"
