Outside the city, at the edge of the gathering place.

After seeing off Ying and the other three, Wenlan sat alone outside the house. Although the place where she lived could not be called a house, for people, as long as it is a place that makes them feel at ease, they might define it as home.

For her, home is where she is with Lao Ye, but now, she hopes there will be one more person in this home.

"Alas, love at first sight, there actually is such a thing. Old Ye, do you believe in the so-called love at first sight?"

When Wen Lan asked Ye Shiyi questions, she was holding a wine glass in her hand. The burning sensation of the liquor was very strong. It was not delicious at all, but it made her forget many things.

Ye Shiyi did not answer Wen Lan's words. He just glanced at his daughter and then returned his gaze to his book.

But Wen Lan didn't care. He knew that his father preferred quietness and didn't like to move around. It was already a miracle that he was willing to take the initiative to help Ying and the others this time.

Although he didn't say anything on the surface, he was definitely thinking a lot in his heart, so Wen Lan drank the wine in the glass, turned back to get a clean glass, filled it with wine, and handed it to Ye Shiyi:

"Here, have a drink with your daughter!"

Without waiting for Ye Shiyi to refuse, she sat down next to him and stuffed the wine glass into his hand without saying a word. Ye Shiyi had no choice but to take it with a wry smile on his face.

"You don't believe it either, right? I can see it. I really don't know what's wrong with me. I would be so... so... proactive towards someone I just met. Oh, it's really weird."

"Not necessarily." Ye Shiyi shook his head slightly and drank the wine that Wen Lan handed over. The stimulating taste did not make him frown.

"So, you really think there is such a thing as love at first sight? Hey! Could it be that you and mom were..." Wen Lan deliberately paused here and looked at Ye Shiyi with a playful expression.

The two have been dependent on each other for many years, and Ye Shiyi naturally knew his daughter's little thoughts. He immediately handed the empty wine glass to Wen Lan, and his daughter obediently poured him a full glass of wine.

But when Ye Shiyi was about to take the wine glass, Wen Lan suddenly took his hand back.

"Hey, let me make this clear first. How did you and mom know each other? If you don't, I won't give you this glass of wine."

Ye Shiyi also found it funny. He put down his hands and looked up at the bright moonlight hanging high in the sky. His gaze seemed to have traveled through time and came to the distant past. That was an extremely sweet and beautiful time for him.

There weren't many things that could move this immortal, so he slowly opened his mouth and said:

"At that time, I..."

……

"At that time, I drove the chess piece into the interior of Fengyang City and left my mark in that city." An old, evil voice sounded.

It's like a poisonous snake trying to drill into one's ear, or like a ghost hand reaching out from the depths of darkness, trying to bind one.

Everyone who heard this voice felt terrified, as if the horrifying face of the owner of the voice had been imprinted deep in their minds.

This is a dark place with only three lights lighting up a small area. However, the flames are very weak. They flicker weakly, fighting against the endless flames around them, and also against the heavy despair around them.

"Mr. Ye is wise!"

A feminine voice sounded, and the speaker turned out to be Wumian, who had caused a big commotion in Linyuan City.

Wumian still had the same face at this moment, but his skin was like a riverbed that had been dry for years. His face was covered with obvious and hideous cracks. Only the hideous scar was still there. Those cracks seemed to have consciousness and all avoided the scar.

No one knows what conspiracy this man has that he appears here at this moment, nor does he know who this "Mr. Ye" he is flattering is?

But the only thing that was certain was that this Mr. Ye did not accept Wumian's compliment. In the darkness, the old and evil voice came out again, with a bit more coldness in the words:

"Humph, but I underestimated Tianya Island and Wanxian Pavilion. I thought that if it was so easy to destroy the Ye family, then it would be easy to destroy them. However, they are much stronger than the Ye family. My years of planning were eventually discovered by them. Fengyang City still stands today. Tsk! How abominable!"

These words made Wumian's expression change, and his brows became more solemn. He turned his gaze to the owner of the other lamp, who understood what he meant and spoke immediately:

"But things are different now. Although everyone in the world now knows the dangers of immortal blood, they don't know yet that 'Unity' is coming."

The owner of this voice was also Ying's acquaintance. It was Han Wei, who had just cooperated with Ying and the others to walk out of the Monster Swamp not long ago. She still looked like a child, and Sangge was still with her, but Sangge's eyes were closed at this time, motionless, and seemed to have lost consciousness.

If Ying were here and saw Sangge like this, she might suspect that this guy has been in a coma since he was rescued.

"'Unity'?" There was a hint of confusion in Ye Lao's voice, and the three lights in the darkness became dimmer.

"Don't you think he accepts our 'unity'?" Han Wei used his spiritual sense to transmit a message to Wumian.

"I hope not. Otherwise, it would be a pity. Before the 'Advent', he was our most important fighting force. If he refused..."

"So what if I refuse?"

The old voice actually broke into the conversation between the two people using their spiritual consciousness, which made them tremble and sweat began to seep out of their foreheads.

"One of you is a demon cultivator, and the other is my subordinate who sells immortal blood. But as expected, you are different from those mediocre people I have seen before."

"The demonic energy in your bodies is different. It's different."

As he spoke, two bottles of immortal blood floated out from the depths of darkness and hovered in front of the two men.

"I have already preserved these immortal bloods with a formation, so it is impossible for anyone to affect them. But now, they have changed, as if they have consciousness."

"Is this what you call 'unity'? Could it be that [you] have already found me?"

When Mr. Ye said "you", he did not focus his attention on Wumian or Han Wei. In the depths of darkness, he was indeed looking at the two of them, but his gaze was connected to a more distant existence.

"..." Wumian was silent, but Han Wei spoke:

"...Yes, this is 'unity'. Tao gave birth to One, One gave birth to Two, Two gave birth to Three, and Three gave birth to all things. Only 'One' is closest to 'Tao'."

"'Unity' is for the sake of 'return to oneness'!"

“Tao!” Mr. Ye’s voice suddenly became excited. “Tao? Hahaha!”

"If you can really attain the Tao, then why can't I become one with you?"

As Ye Lao's words were heard, Wu Mian and Han Wei's expressions also changed. They did not look at each other, nor did they communicate with their spiritual consciousness, but at this moment, they showed exactly the same expressions.

Exactly the same, as if they were beings sharing the same soul but different bodies. Accompanied by a swallowing sound, Wumian and Han Wei, who were illuminated by the lights, and Ye Lao, who was hiding in the depths of the darkness, all focused their eyes on Sangge, and then fell on the last place illuminated by the lights.

There was no one there, no living person, only a stone statue. Its face was blurred and all that could be seen was that it was a statue of a man sitting upright.

Then, wisps of black air penetrated the barrier built by the lights, like devil's claws reaching out from the darkness, and fell onto the statue.

And outside the distant Fengyang City, a scream suddenly appeared:

"what--"

Ye Shiyi, who was telling his love story, suddenly turned around and looked towards the place where the scream came from.

He saw several teams of monks from Fengyang City rushing over from the nearest place, and then rays of light brought by magic began to shine there. Soon, a strange cry was heard, and a twisted figure rose from the ground, but disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"It seems that someone has encountered a monster, which is really rare here." After Ye Shiyi said this, he noticed a strange energy coming from his side.

He turned around quickly, but what he saw was Wen Lan's surprised smile:

"Old Ye! I seem to feel it. I am about to break through. I want to become an immortal!"
