Thick snow had piled up on the streets of the Ancestral Grounds.
Apart from the disciples of the Immortal Furnace Ancestral Courtyard, the people from the other Cave Heaven ancestral courtyards gradually returned to the streets.
Hong Xia and Wen Ge returned to their respective ancestral courtyards, bringing back a message.
"It's over..."
They gazed toward the edge of the Ancestral Image World, where vast flurries of snow filled the air, waiting for that person to return.
Wen Ge and Hong Xia did not reveal the truth about Su Mo's spell or the lord of the Mortal Realm. They only said that the Heavenly Prodigy from the Immortal Furnace had saved everyone at the cost of his own life.
Wen Ge and Hong Xia could naturally see what price Su Mo had paid to send away the Seven-Faced Banner.
Amid the silence, a pall of gloom settled over the Ancestral City.
People's emotions spread easily, and the silence of those around them had long since made the situation clear.
They did not know the whole story, only that the Heavenly Prodigy from the Immortal Furnace had saved them all.
And that stranger, whom they had never met, had actually paid such a price for it...
At last, amid the swirling snow.
An exotic beast slowly emerged from the snow, carrying a figure on its back.
It stepped onto the street...
Everyone silently watched the broken man on the exotic beast's back, their eyes reddening.
That broken man had already fallen into a deep sleep, his entire body covered in blood.
His breathing was exceedingly faint, as though he might die at any moment...
Some covered their mouths; others wanted to step forward and examine him.
Some bowed in respect; others remained speechless for a long time.
People were not grass
