Just as Bai Fengxi and the others were surrounded on all sides, ready for a battle of life and death, fortunately, Hei Fengxi arrived with his army in time to provide support. Although the enemy troops were repelled, the Fengyun Riders suffered heavy casualties, and Han Pu was killed by an arrow. Bai Fengxi was overwhelmed with grief and personally built a grave and erected a tombstone for him.

She knew well that the battlefield allowed no hesitation, yet still dragged him into the conflict, resulting in the loss of his life. But the dead are gone, and the living must carry on. After calming down, Bai Fengxi decided to rename Luoying Mountain to Ying Mountain and instructed everyone to remember this day. If they ever face another hopeless battle in the future, they should retreat if possible and protect themselves as much as they can.

It was reported that the Dongshu army was less than three li away. Hei Fengxi and Bai Fengxi led everyone to face the enemy, vowing to avenge the fallen soldiers. Bai Fengxi engaged Dongshu Fang head-on, and after a few rounds, decisively killed him with her sword. However, the cannon fire was too intense.

Seeing more soldiers fall, Bai Fengxi ignored Hei Fengxi’s attempts to stop her and rushed forward, using her sword to block the cannon muzzle just in time. The cannon exploded, and Bai Fengxi was caught in the blast, gravely injured. When she collapsed into Hei Fengxi's arms, she was already on the brink of death. Hei Fengxi ordered his men to head to the Imperial Capital, determined to stop Yu Wuyuan's conspiracy.

If Huang Chao faced trouble, they were to provide aid. Meanwhile, he took Bai Fengxi to find Elder Tianji. The grand army arrived outside the Imperial Capital. Huang Chao noticed someone familiar atop the city wall. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was a follower of Yu Wuyuan, finally understanding that Yu Wuyuan was the mastermind. Yu Wuyuan’s cruelty knew no bounds; he used the citizens within the city as hostages, forcing Huang Chao to hesitate in ordering an assault.

Meanwhile, Hei Fengxi, determined to save the woman he loved, decided to use the life-exchange technique of Elder Xue from Tianshan. As a result, he would only have ten years left to live, unable to spend a lifetime with Bai Fengxi. Yet, even so, Hei Fengxi had no regrets. He knew that without Bai Fengxi, even an eternal life would be meaningless. Only by meeting her did he understand the true purpose of living.

When Bai Fengxi awoke, she found herself in a secluded dwelling. Following the path outside, she saw Hei Fengxi with a head full of white hair, and her heart ached. She had once heard of the secret technique from Elder Xue of Tianshan but never imagined Hei Fengxi would willingly sacrifice his lifespan. Bai Fengxi wept, calling him foolish, but given the circumstances, all she could do was accept reality.

At least they still had ten years to share and enjoy the seasons together. News came from the Fountain Abode that Huang Chao had failed in all three assaults on the city. Yu Wuyuan used a hundred thousand citizens as leverage, causing severe losses to the Jizhou army. While Hei Fengxi was contemplating how to thwart Yu Wuyuan’s plot, Elder Tianji suddenly arrived and revealed a secret about the Yu family’s ancestors.

The world knew that the six lords and Emperor Weilie founded Dadong, but few knew that Yu Yantian, ancestor of the Yu family, was their teacher. Without him, Dadong might never have existed. Emperor Weilie had promised to share the world with the Yu family, but at the founding of the state, fearing their capabilities, he had the entire Yu clan executed. Perhaps fate would not let the Yu line perish.

Yu Yantian’s youngest son narrowly escaped, preserving the bloodline, but the family was cursed — never to live past thirty for generations. Although Bai Fengxi understood that Emperor Weilie was an unjust ruler who committed inhumane acts, and Dadong’s current downfall was karma, Yu Wuyuan should not use the lives of commoners to pursue his selfish desires, plunging the world into chaos and misery.

Elder Tianji said that Hei Fengxi and Bai Fengxi had already inherited Taiyin’s Lanyin Biyue, which was a great blessing. Taiyin lost his wife in middle age and could never fully master the technique. He now placed his hopes in Hei Fengxi and Bai Fengxi, believing that if their hearts were in harmony, they could reach the peak of its power. Now, the Ren family father and son led their troops to break into the Imperial Capital.

Qiu Jiushuang and Xue Kong also led the Zhengtian Riders to join with the Yongzhou allied forces. After bidding farewell to Elder Tianji, Hei Fengxi and Bai Fengxi entered the palace with Huang Chao, where Yu Wuyuan had long been waiting in the main hall. Faced with their accusations, Yu Wuyuan not only showed no remorse but arrogantly declared he would claim the world.

Because Yu Wuyuan had mastered powerful martial arts, he could fight three opponents at once, leaving Huang Chao at a disadvantage. Hei Fengxi and Bai Fengxi thought of Lanyin Biyue, coordinated their moves, and ultimately ended Yu Wuyuan’s life. Seeing Hei Fengxi, Bai Fengxi, and Huang Chao together, Jing Yan realized the outcome was sealed. He voluntarily abdicated and personally handed the abdication decree to Hei Fengxi.

When all was settled, Huang Chao willingly pledged loyalty to Hei Fengxi, supporting him as the ruler of the world. However, Hei Fengxi, knowing that Huang Chao was a wise ruler who cared for the people, handed him back the abdication decree, hoping he would fulfill his promise to bring peace and prosperity.

Watching Hei Fengxi and Bai Fengxi walk out of the hall hand in hand, Huang Chao was filled with emotion and determined to govern the country well, not to let them down. Bai Fengxi cherished the time they had left and publicly announced that she was no longer Queen of Qingzhou, but a wandering heroine who had stolen away Feng Lanxi, Lord of Yongzhou.

As for Hei Fengxi, he immediately ordered everyone to follow the arrangements of Feng Qiwu and General Xu, then took Bai Fengxi and flew off with her, vanishing into the mountains. From then on, all soldiers of Yongzhou and Qingzhou followed orders to support the Lord of Jizhou and bring peace to the world.

In the fourth month of that same year, Huang Chao ascended the throne, naming the nation "Huang" and the era "Xize," and made Hua Chunran his empress. In a distant land, within a secluded valley home, Hei Fengxi and Bai Fengxi lived as an enviable couple, preparing meals together, walking side by side beneath the window, and expressing their love in every little gesture.
