Chapter 855: There is No Banquet That Doesn't End

The others were unable to calm down for a long time.

The news brought by Heng Tian Zhan Zun was too shocking.

The situation of being defeated like a mountain, the Transcendent in the depths of the Great Calamity, and that mysterious great existence who saved everything.

Every single thing tugged at their hearts.

After a long time, everyone slowly came back to their senses.

They began to work, organizing this key node.

Cleaning up the battlefield, burying the corpses of the fallen cultivators, and repairing the damaged fortifications.

They were busy for a whole day before everything was organized properly.

At this time, it was evening.

The sunset was setting, and the golden afterglow sprinkled on the broken earth, putting a golden coat on this land that had suffered from war.

The distant sky was dyed fiery red by the sunset clouds, beautiful and tragic.

They had decided to separate the next day and embark on different, deeper paths of conquest.

So, tonight, they decided to relax properly.

Hold a simple celebration banquet.

Celebrate their great victory this time.

And also make a farewell for the upcoming separation.

On the ground, a huge bonfire was burning.

The raging flames crackled, illuminating everyone's faces.

On the bonfire, several huge monster beasts were being roasted.

The golden, crispy roasted meat sizzled with oil, emitting an alluring aroma.

On the ground, there were many delicious dishes and jars of fine wine.

Several people sat on the ground around the bonfire.

Without the tension and suppression of the past, the atmosphere became relaxed and comfortable.

This was a rare moment of relaxation since the outbreak of the Dark Calamity.

"Come! Drink this cup!"

Xiaosa Ge was the first to lift a wine jar and said loudly:

"Celebrate that this time, we successfully guarded the North, South, East, and West four passes!"

"Celebrate that we killed ten Sovereigns and one Emperor!"

"And celebrate that we are all still alive!"

"Cheers!!"

Everyone lifted their wine jars one after another and responded loudly.

"Gulp! Gulp! Gulp!"

The crisp sound of drinking wine rose and fell.

The spicy fine wine slid into the abdomen along the throat, turning into a warm current, dispelling the fatigue of the body and the haze in the heart.

"Brother Que, I toast you a cup!"

Miao Miao Xianzi picked up a bowl of wine and looked at Ye Wuque, her beautiful eyes full of gratitude:

"This time, if it weren't for you, all of us would have died in the hands of those scumbags from the No Return Road."

"Great kindness doesn't need to be thanked! I'll drink this bowl!"

After saying this, Miao Miao Xianzi raised her head and drank the fine wine in the bowl in one gulp.

Ye Wuque also picked up a bowl of wine, gestured slightly to Miao Miao Xianzi, and then drank it in one gulp.

The bronze mask blocked his face, and no one saw him drinking.

But this didn't affect everyone's interest in the slightest.

"Brother Que, I also toast you a cup!"

The Evil Emperor also lifted his wine jar and said to Ye Wuque:

"I, the Evil Emperor, haven't admired many people in my life. You count as one."

"In the future, if you have any use for me, just speak up!"

After saying this, the Evil Emperor also drank it in one gulp.

Ye Wuque also returned a bowl.

"And me! And me!"

Xiaosa Ge also leaned over, holding his wine jar, and said loudly:

"Brother Que, you are too amazing! You can kill a Half-step Transcendent at the Supreme Realm! I admire you completely!"

Hearing this, everyone laughed out loud.

Although Sword Madman didn't speak, he also silently picked up a bowl of wine, raised it to Ye Wuque, and then drank it in one gulp.

Huang Xie also picked up a bowl of wine, nodded to Ye Wuque, and drank the wine.

Although Ye Wuque was still wearing that mysterious bronze mask at this moment, the others didn't care at all.

Instead, they completely treated Ye Wuque as a life-and-death friend.

In this battle, Ye Wuque's role was undoubtedly the greatest.

If it weren't for Ye Wuque, all of them would have died.

This kindness, they would never forget.

After three rounds of drinking, the dishes were tasted.

Everyone was a bit drunk.

They talked more.

Xiaosa Ge put his arm around Ye Wuque's shoulder, leaned into his ear, and said mysteriously:

"Brother Que, tell the truth, what do you look like under the mask?"

"Is it earth-shatteringly handsome? That's why you don't dare to show your true face, afraid of charming thousands of girls?"

"I'm really getting more and more curious about what kind of face is under your mask..."

Hearing Xiaosa Ge's words, Miao Miao Xianzi, Huang Xie, and the Evil Emperor all pricked up their ears, their eyes full of curiosity.

Obviously, they were also full of curiosity about Ye Wuque's true face under the mask.

Ye Wuque was slightly startled when he heard this.

Immediately, he chuckled and said:

"Nothing to see. Just an ordinary face."

"Wearing a mask is just for convenience, not wanting to cause too much trouble."

"Cut! If you don't want to say it, just don't! Making excuses!"

Xiaosa Ge curled his lips, looking like he didn't believe it.

"But it doesn't matter! Anyway, one day, I will see your true face!"

Ye Wuque smiled and didn't speak.

He lifted his wine jar and took another big gulp.

The cool night wind blew, carrying the faint aroma of wine and roasted meat.

The starry sky was brilliant, and the Milky Way crossed the horizon.

The bonfire crackled, illuminating everyone's faces.

They chatted, laughed, and shared their respective experiences and stories.

No one mentioned the Dark Calamity again, no one mentioned life and death.

They just wanted to cherish this rare moment of relaxation.

This was a celebration banquet, and also a farewell banquet.

After tomorrow, everyone would separate, rush to different battlefields, and deal with different powerful enemies.

This farewell might be a permanent farewell.

No one knew when they would meet again next time.

And no one knew if they could meet again.

The atmosphere gradually became a bit sentimental.

Miao Miao Xianzi's eyes were slightly red.

Huang Xie also lowered her head, drinking wine silently.

Sword Madman's eyes also became a bit dim.

The smile on the Evil Emperor's face also disappeared.

Xiaosa Ge also stopped joking and just drank wine silently.

Ye Wuque felt the change in the atmosphere, he lifted his wine jar and said loudly:

"Come! Drink another cup!"

"Drink today if there is wine today! Worry tomorrow if there is worry tomorrow!"

"No matter what tomorrow is like, at least today, we are still together!"

"Cheers!!"

Everyone lifted their wine jars one after another and responded loudly.

They turned the sentimentality and reluctance in their hearts into the fine wine in the cup and drank it in one gulp.

The celebration banquet lasted until the next morning.

When the first ray of dawn pierced the darkness and sprinkled on the earth.

Everyone was drunk.

They lay on the ground, sleeping very soundly.

On their faces, there was a hint of a relaxed smile.

This was the most peaceful sleep they had had since the outbreak of the Dark Calamity.

The sun gradually rose, and the golden sunlight sprinkled on the earth.

Everyone woke up one after another.

After a hangover, their heads hurt a bit.

But their spirits were much better.

They silently packed their things without saying much.

The moment of separation had finally come.

"Alright, brothers, we should go."

Xiaosa Ge was the first to stand up, stretched, and said pretentiously easily.

But his voice was slightly trembling.

"I'm going to the battlefield in the east. That's where the dark army is most dense."

"I'm going to the south."

The Evil Emperor said.

"I'm going to the west."

Huang Xie said.

"Miao Miao and I are going to the north."

Sword Madman rarely said a sentence.

Everyone nodded.

They chose different directions and rushed to different battlefields.

They wanted to sprinkle their strength on this land that had suffered from war.

They wanted to use their lives to guard this homeland they loved deeply.

"Everyone, take care."

Ye Wuque looked at everyone and said slowly.

"Take care!"

"Brother Que, take care!"

"See you in the depths of the Great Calamity!"

"Whoever is a coward first is a grandson!"

Everyone waved goodbye to Ye Wuque one after another.

Then, they each turned into a stream of light and galloped toward different directions.

Soon, they disappeared into the horizon.

Only Ye Wuque was left standing in place.

Ye Wuque looked at the direction where everyone disappeared and didn't speak for a long time.

There was also a hint of reluctance in his heart.

Although they hadn't spent much time together, they were already life-and-death friends.

He prayed silently in his heart, praying that they would all be safe.

Praying that they could meet again in the depths of the Great Calamity.

After a long time, Ye Wuque slowly turned around.

His gaze looked toward the depths of the Great Calamity.

That was the source of darkness.

There, there was a true Transcendent.

There, there was a mysterious golden lightning existence!

There, there was the destiny he had to face.

Ye Wuque took a deep breath, a firm light flashing in his eyes.

He clenched his fists.

"Depths of the Great Calamity... I'm coming."

As the words fell, Ye Wuque turned into a golden stream of light and galloped toward the depths of the Great Calamity.

His figure soon disappeared into the horizon.

Only the bonfire that had long been extinguished and the wine jars all over the ground were left, silently telling the story of last night. ===== CHAPTER 856 =====
