Just like Xufeng had done for Jinmi. If his love was anything like theirs then he knew he would be reunited with Ouyang. That despite all the odds they would know each other. And in that knowing they would be able to escape together. Or he could pull Ouyang with him to the Heavens to grant him a life there.

None of the how mattered. Only that it would happen.
