In order to prove to others that her choices were correct, Zihongfang worked hard to convince herself not to regret. However, while her classmates were steadily improving, she felt herself becoming weaker and weaker. She not only reflected on her situation but also did not give herself a chance because she had already lost hope.
Although she did not envy Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian's reckless behavior during this time and felt sympathy for him from the bottom of her heart, Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian had treated Zihongfang like a servant, spending all his time fooling around with those women without considering Zihongfang's feelings. This was why Zihongfang did not move away to escape.
She could no longer tolerate it. She was waiting for Huangfu Jiayin's arrival!
But all of this was her own choice; it was all caused by her, and she could only suffer the consequences. She had no one to confide in.
At this moment, she expressed her true feelings: she no longer wanted to live. Let Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian deal with his own mess. She felt that Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian would not just fall apart; he still had the possibility of rising again.
Huangfu Jiayin was waiting for Zihongfang to say these words, so she immediately agreed: "Okay, I will give them the Antidote right away and let them leave, including Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian. He can leave too. You just have to serve your sentence."
"Since you all have agreed, then everyone come out. After you receive the Antidote, you can go your separate ways immediately. Don't linger here any longer. I apologize for my past mistakes; please don't hold it against me." A hint of a smile appeared on Zihongfang's pale face.
Finally, as she watched Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian slowly step out, she truly did not want to deal with him anymore, but her mouth involuntarily said to him: "Xuanyuan, you will have to rely on yourself from now on. I can't help you anymore. Goodbye."
At that moment, Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian no longer had the passion he had earlier; he simply looked at Zihongfang's face for a moment before turning away in silence.
Seeing him leave resolutely, Zihongfang felt no reluctance; instead, tears of sadness streamed down her face.
At that moment, she truly felt heartache—a pain that pierced her heart. She blamed herself for being blind; how could she have been so blind!
After Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian left, he immediately ran away with all his strength. He had already found a new place and needed to contact them right away to leave this place and seek new opportunities. He was still young and wanted to fight for a chance to rise again.
Once everyone else had left, Huangfu Jiayin ordered Zihongfang to be taken toward the Supreme Command Center; she decided to throw Zihongfang into prison.
Nantian found Futian, and the two met at a Tavern.
Nantian smiled and said, "Hold on, my friend, I'll be right there."
Futian chuckled, "It's truly rare. After hundreds of years, we brothers can finally sit together to chat and drink again."
Nantian sighed, "The past is hard to look back on. Back in the day, we were unmatched and full of vigor, looking down on everyone. But looking back now, it feels like we wasted our talents."
Futian also sighed, "Exactly, it's hard to look back on, hard to look back on."
Futian took a sip of his drink and then said, "Have you joined your Underground Alliance?"
"Of course. I'm here to persuade you to join our Underground Alliance as well. Now that I am an elder of the Underground Alliance, I have a say. If you can join us, with your master's reputation in Guan Yue, you could at least hold an elder position. With my title as the head of Qilin Academy, I might also enter the council of elders."
Listening to Nantian's explanation, Futian asked, "By the way, how strong is your Underground Alliance? Aren't you afraid of being swallowed by the Holy Alliance?"
Nantian laughed heartily and said, "Huangfu Jiayin is right; the Holy Alliance is just a bunch of cowards hiding away. Over all these years, we haven't even heard their name mentioned. We certainly haven't heard about them defeating anyone. In fact, our Underground Alliance is the true Major Power, with hundreds of thousands of Senior Cultivators and even Little Ancestor Saints and Great Deities joining us."
"But we haven't heard about your name either," Futian teased.
Nantian quickly explained, "We've grown from small to large while keeping things confidential; otherwise, we wouldn't even know who would take us out. Just look at how much smarter we are than the Holy Alliance. We started uniting capable people before reaching Little Ancestor Saint status. Once they grow into Little Ancestor Saints or Great Deities, they become our strong backbone. So our potential is much greater than that of the Holy Alliance."
Futian bluntly replied, "Isn't it the Enemy Command Center that has power now?"
Nantian smiled and said, "That's why we won't turn against them for now. If they are willing to jointly manage with us and just give us a piece of land, we can expand our influence legitimately. Angered Heaven isn't managing talent; he relies on a few Girls to support him. One day we will surpass them."
Futian sighed, realizing that Angered Heaven did not understand management, which he had already identified as a fatal flaw. Moreover, Beast generally did not interact with humans, making management even more unfamiliar to him. If Huangfu Jiayin were to follow Guan Yue to Upper Space in the future, the Antibody Enemy Headquarters would face significant difficulties.
As the two were speaking, a gust of wind suddenly brought Nantian over.
Nantian quickly stood up to greet them, saying, "Today, our gathering at Mita is truly rare. Please sit down and let's share a cup of reunion wine."
Futian merely smiled and did not speak.
Seeing that Futian was already seated, Nantian's expression darkened, and he angrily took a seat without making any move to drink with Futian.
Nantian advised, "Brother Nantian, the past is hard to look back on; it's better not to mention it. We should look forward. We're both getting old now; we shouldn't dwell on trivial matters."
Nantian retorted angrily, "Nantian, you need to understand reason. I don't hold grudges against others, but they hold grudges against me. My two disciples have been ruined by his disciples; how can I be happy about that? Old Man has no place to vent his anger."
Futian laughed heartily and said, "This just shows you're not as good as I am. How old are your disciples? How old are mine? How long have your disciples been cultivating? How long have mine been cultivating? Yet my disciple is stronger than yours! You have two disciples while I only have one, and he's from the academy you lead. All of this shows that my disciple is simply not comparable to yours."
Nantian fumed, "That’s because I didn’t hold past grievances against him and provided him with the best cultivation conditions. I even gave him the Heavenly Soldier Azure Dragon Yin Yang Sword."
Nantian exclaimed in shock, "What? The Heavenly Soldier Azure Dragon Yin Yang Sword was given by you? Why didn't you keep it for your own disciple?"
Nantian shook his head with a bitter smile, "That was my reward for him."
Futian had long known the details of this matter and scolded angrily, "Nantian, you old fool! It was Guan Yue who established the Illusory Array that allowed both you and Taishi Xiaoxiao to break through a major realm. You rewarded him with a sword that was useless to you. It was only after Guan Yue activated the sword's Spiritual Energy that it became a Celestial Soldier; that had nothing to do with you. Besides, after Guan Yue helped you break through a major realm, what other reward did you give him besides that broken sword? Don't you feel guilty?"
"That's nonsense; I also gave him a Universal Ring," Nantian insisted.
"Nantian, do you really have no selfish motives? I heard Ouyang Shaohua say that Guan Yue is only nine years old and has already passed a One Hundred Times Gravity test, and he can even establish soul formations. Such an outstanding talent, why do you repeatedly obstruct his entry into the Inner Courtyard and let him endure humiliation? My Inner Courtyard disciples have been cruelly attacking him, showing him no mercy. Your two disciples have only made things worse, pushing Guan Yue to the brink of death. Are you really not afraid of Guan Yue seeking revenge on you?"
Futian grew increasingly agitated as he spoke, his voice rising higher. Nantian quickly reminded him, "Both of you should calm down and speak slowly."
Hearing the mention of Guan Yue seeking revenge made Nantian feel a bit apprehensive. He knew the situation was as Futian described, if not worse! At that time, there were more than ten people wanting Guan Yue dead, and his two disciples were indeed adding fuel to the fire. Yet he remained indifferent. Admittedly, he bore some responsibility.
Seeing Nantian silent only fueled Futian's anger further as he shouted, "But my disciple has principles! You should know how he treats your daughter. He brought your daughter to Vast Empire and even personally went to support her so that Vast Empire wouldn't dare bully her. He even intervened in Vast Empire's politics, appointing your son-in-law as a military minister for future cultivation as a prince. My disciple has done well enough! How can you still harbor dissatisfaction towards him? I think your conscience has been bitten away by a fox, leaving only a wolf's heart and a dog's lungs."
Upon hearing that He Bi might become the Queen of Vast Empire, Nantian felt immense joy; this was more gratifying than anything else for him. His daughter's happiness was his last hope in life. As long as she lived well, he truly asked for nothing more. Since her birth, he had been unable to face the world and could only raise her in secret, casting a shadow over her psyche. He always felt guilty towards her. Now that she could find her own happiness, he felt truly relieved. As for his two disciples, they only brought him sorrow, leading him to sever that connection.
He resolved to reunite with his daughter. Given the current circumstances, there was no need for embarrassment anymore.
Seeing that he remained silent, Futian stopped speaking as well.
Both were listening to Nantian's words as he continued persuading Futian to join the Underground Alliance. With Nantian's current status being different, once he joined the Underground Alliance, it would undoubtedly influence a significant number of people. Nantian wanted to make one last effort.
Nantian had considered that Futian might enter Upper Space alongside Guan Yue; however, even if Futian were to enter Upper Space with Guan Yue tomorrow, returning to the Underground Alliance today would still hold significance.
Nantian said, "Futian my friend, rest assured that our Underground Alliance will definitely not oppose the Enemy Command Center; we aim to cooperate sincerely with them and will not put you in a difficult position. Today marks a new beginning for Mita. Come on, let us set aside past grievances and raise a toast together for the Underground Alliance."
