The protagonist did not tell the old man that he would stay in the cultivation world and not go to the new world.
Because the old man didn't have much time left.
When the protagonist previously used True Essence to help the old man nurture his body, he discovered that nearly all of the old man's organs showed signs of severe deterioration.
Judging by the rate of organ aging, a month at most, ten days at least, and he would die.
The protagonist didn't want the old man to leave with regrets.
After bidding farewell to the old man, the protagonist continued down the street.
The protagonist could sense that the emperor and empress had left last night, along with Zhao Yi and his men from the Crown Prince's Mansion.
In the morning, the gates of the Imperial Palace did not open, and the entire palace walls were enveloped by an array.
The citizens who discovered this immediately panicked.
The news quickly spread throughout the city.
Shengjing City was in complete chaos.
