When Ye Feng left the Feng Family, it was already around ten at night!

Ye Feng did not let Feng Wanqing see him off; he needed some quiet alone time now!

Bright moonlight continually showered down from the night sky, casting Yanjing City in a silver glow!

Ye Feng watched the vehicles coming and going on the road, his face showing deep complexity!

In front of him, couples who had just come out of the cinema, their sweet and loving embrace, warmed the heart!

There was also a family of three, happily walking out of the Anime World exhibition with their child, filled with joy!

As they walked past Ye Feng, the child's innocent smile, the parents' blissful expressions, that gentle warmth, and profound happiness made Ye Feng feel restless!

There were also many office workers who had just gotten off work; their hurried appearances seemed filled with hope for a better future!

This stream of people was like individual stories, causing ripples in Ye Feng's heart!

"If one day, these strangers were to die, or were about to die, what would I do? If one day, this city vanished into smoke, what would I do?"

Ye Feng could hear from the Divine Fortune Teller's words that perhaps a catastrophe lay ahead in which many might perish, including possibly himself!

After being lost in thought for a moment, Ye Feng pulled out the brocade bag from his pocket!

This brocade bag appeared extremely old-fashioned, unlike modern craftsmanship; instead, it seemed to be sewn twenty years ago, and the fabric had even started to fade!

This was the item that Mai Xiangshi Feng Xuanzi gifted him when he left!

"Ye Feng, this brocade bag has been waiting for you… for 18 years! Remember, when that day comes, open this brocade bag; perhaps… it can save you, your family, and friends!"

Feng Xuanzi's words still echoed in Ye Feng's ears, making his expression turn slightly complex!

Holding the brocade bag, Ye Feng examined it thoroughly, then put it straight into his pocket, his eyes bursting with a captivating light:

"I can protect my woman, my brothers! I can protect China, I can protect every citizen of China! I absolutely can!!"

The intense sense of crisis didn't make Ye Feng feel defeated; instead, it filled him with even more fighting spirit!

At this moment, Ye Feng was like a lion ready for battle, ready to pounce on any crisis that might arise!

...

Meanwhile, in the room on the second floor of the Feng Family, Feng Xuanzi tremblingly brewed a pot of tea!

Streams of crimson blood flowed continuously from the corners of his mouth, his face growing paler like paper; yet, he seemed indifferent to his own life or death!

Strangely, despite being alone in the room, Feng Xuanzi poured two cups of tea!

As soon as the tea was poured, Feng Xuanzi's voice sounded:

"You're here…"

The voice was eerie, and just as it fell, a mysterious black figure had already appeared at the door without a sound!

The figure was haunting like the Netherworld, unexpectedly silent, filled with an icy chill!

"Ah… old friend, it's been 18 years…"

A voice filled with aging came through as the figure slowly walked to the front and sat across from Feng Xuanzi, his deep eyes looking at Feng Xuanzi!

Hearing this, Feng Xuanzi let out a faint smile:

"Yes! It's been 18 years, and you haven't changed! No, you seem even stronger…"

The black figure looked at Feng Xuanzi's weak state and shook his head:

"It's not that I'm stronger, but that your injuries are heavier! If it weren't for those three old guys ambushing you 18 years ago, you would be the strongest!"

When the black figure mentioned the past again, Feng Xuanzi shook his head bitterly:

"That matter is past! I've forgotten it! Now is good, enjoying family and peace!"

The black figure understood Feng Xuanzi didn't wish to dwell on the events of 18 years ago and spoke straight away:

"I'm here this time to ask you, how much time do we have left?"

Feng Xuanzi paused with his hand holding the teacup, then drank the tea in one gulp and said slowly:

"A year!"

"A year? Ah… it seems within this year, those three old guys and the people of that small world will go all out! I don't know if Ye Feng can withstand it!"

The black figure appeared full of worry, while Feng Xuanzi's expression was extremely calm!

He didn't think much, but stared with bright eyes at the black figure in front of him, a radiant smile emerging:

"Old friend, how about I read your fortune this time?"

The black figure was surprised, then smiled:

"Alright! 18 years ago, you wanted to read my fortune, and I refused! Since now our time is running out, you should read this old body's fortune!"

Saying this, the black figure took off his wide black robe, revealing his face; then handed out his pair of withered hands in front of Feng Xuanzi!

With a faint smile, Feng Xuanzi picked up a rusty copper coin, blew on it three times, held it to his forehead, and muttered!

After a short while, Feng Xuanzi tossed the copper coin into the air!

The copper coin seemed to have eyes, precisely landing in the black figure's left hand, continuously spinning!

Feng Xuanzi watched the rapidly spinning copper coin, eyes glowing with a deep sheen!

However, after a while, Feng Xuanzi's smile faded; then his brow furrowed, his complexion suddenly turned extremely pale!

Even amidst the paleness, traces of unaccountable shock and fear appeared, looking disbelievingly at the black figure:

"Lifeless Fate, Lifeless Logic, you… You are a lifeless person! You are not him! Who are you!!!"

As he spoke, Feng Xuanzi's eyes widened, his body trembled, beads of sweat streamed down, and disbelief covered his face!

Upon hearing Feng Xuanzi's words, the black figure remained extremely calm!

At this moment, he flipped his hand, pressing the spinning copper coin onto the ground, then pulled the black garment up and over his head, slowly standing up and heading toward the door!

A mysterious, ghostly voice murmured into Feng Xuanzi's ear:

"When that day comes, you will know who I am! He will know who I am! Everyone will know who I am!!!"
