Chapter 555

This shows that Xie Yan is very attentive to Yao Yao.

After hearing Cang Li's words, Ying Wuji raised his head and glanced at Xie Yan standing not far away; he slightly lowered his eyelashes, lost in thought.

The heavenly pride of the three clans are now located within a boundary zone, maintaining a delicate balance.

"Why won't it die?! What caused the Boundary Abyss to close prematurely?" a demon clan heavenly pride shouted, face full of irritation.

A human clan heavenly pride said: "You say, if we can't get out, will outsiders try to break open the Boundary Abyss Gate and take us out?"

Quan Fan's exquisite, handsome face lifted slightly as he coldly laughed, saying: "You human clan, are you really that naive? What is the Realm Abyss? The Realm Abyss lies at the nexus connecting the demon realm, monster realm, and cultivation realm. If outsiders wish to break open the Gate of the Realm Abyss, there is no doubt they aim to shatter the balance of the three realms. Once the Realm Abyss collapses, it will be the time of the three-realm war."

Quan Fan said this, letting out a light scoff: "Your cultivation realm hasn't even had time to stop outsiders from breaking open the Gate of the Realm Abyss, so how could you possibly start a three-realm war just to save us?"

Upon hearing this, the human clan's prideful ones showed varied expressions.

At this moment, the yellow-clad youth wearing a rabbit grinning mask in the human clan's ranks, leaning against a puppet with arms crossed, laughed: "Then will your demon and monster clans break open the Gate of the Realm Abyss for our sake?"

Finally, he added in a sarcastic tone: "Your identities as princes and princesses are even higher than our status in the cultivation realm, so your demon and monster realms surely won't abandon you, right?"

"You're asking for death?!" Quan Fan narrowed his eyes suddenly, instantly releasing his aura toward the yellow-clad youth Jiangxiao's direction!

At that moment, Yujing instantly released her aura and divine sense to counter it!

Boom!

Yujing coldly said: "Are you demon clan looking to stir trouble in this situation?"

"You're merely a late-stage Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator, yet you dare speak to this prince in such a tone?" Quan Fan stared at Yujing with contempt, his attitude extremely arrogant: "This prince has never feared trouble; either you act, or you all shut up for this prince!"

Before his words even fell, the demon clan's prideful ones surrounding Quan Fan rose to their feet, their eyes sharp and bloodthirsty as they fixed on Yujing and the other human clan's prideful ones.

A human clan's prideful one gritted his teeth and accused: "Don't forget, demon clan, that your escape from the Beast Lord of the Realm Abyss's grasp was thanks to our human clan's help! Now you're repaying kindness with enmity?!"

"Hahahaha..." Quan Fan and the surrounding demon clan's prideful ones burst into laughter.

"So what if we repay kindness with enmity?"

"Besides, what favor have you human clan's prideful ones done for us? You're merely basking in her glory." As Quan Fan said this, he raised a finger, pointing toward Yuan Yao's location.

Quan Fan had just pointed for a second when he suddenly felt a chilling killing intent surge toward him; following his instinct, he looked up and met a pair of gloomy black eyes.

Quan Fan's spine turned cold, and he instinctively lowered his finger.

When Quan Fan came to, his expression shifted, and a hint of wariness arose in his heart; he secretly thought: "This Xie Yan's strength is certainly not weak!"

Only a few people present noticed the undercurrent surging between Quan Fan and Xie Yan.

Within the human clan's ranks, some of the prideful ones showed embarrassment, looking toward Yujing, hoping she would retaliate.

But Yujing, considering the bigger picture, told them not to contend with the demon clan's Third Prince, Quan Fan.

Many human clan's prideful ones felt disgraced, yet also thought Yujing was utterly unfit to be their vice leader!

And Quan Fan, wary of Xie Yan and others, also refrained from acting.

From beginning to end, aside from the Abyss Squad, no one participated in the conflict.

Meanwhile, the blade ripple riot had not yet ended, for the Beast Lord of the Realm Abyss remained in a fury, unable to leave the core region, and could only deal with the three clans' prideful ones in this way.

The three clans' prideful ones had to constantly reinforce the barrier to prevent it from shattering.

And the heavenly pride of the three clans occasionally had to reinforce the barrier to prevent it from shattering.

Although the riot's aftermath had not fully dissipated, that heaven-earth-destroying madness had receded, leaving only devastation in its wake.

At this moment, Yuan Yao remained in a coma.

After experiencing the brief 'ally' relationship of jointly resisting the enemy, the three clans' prideful ones now had no trace of cooperative tacit understanding in their eyes, replaced instead by undisguised vigilance and guard.

The air was filled with a silent tension, like a bow drawn to its limit, ready to unleash a deadly arrow at any moment.

In this tense atmosphere, Quan Li slowly rose to her feet.

She moved her somewhat stiff joints, emitting a faint crackling sound.

Her gaze was ice-cold like ten-thousand-year-old frost, her tone domineering and cruel: "Since the closure of the Realm Abyss is now settled, we are powerless to reverse it; then our alliance should also come to an end."

She scanned the surroundings, her gaze finally landing on the human and monster clans' prideful ones, the corner of her mouth curling into a mocking arc: "This region, we demon clan will take. You, get lost elsewhere!"

Upon hearing these insulting words, the human clan's prideful ones' faces instantly turned ashen, while the monster clan's prideful ones each showed murderous intent, clearly enraged by Quan Li's blatant provocation and desire to encroach.

Quan Li seemed pleased with their reaction, she slightly tilted her head, extending her scarlet tongue tip to lick her slightly dry lips, the smile on her face deepening, carrying a hint of cruel anticipation: "How?"

Her voice drew out long, laden with a deadly threat: "Are you unwilling to leave? Or… do you wish to die here?"

Before her words even fell, she raised her bare hand; amidst the surging black demonic energy, a massive bone blade exuding a chilling white-bone aura instantly appeared in her grasp, its blade flashing with a bone-chilling gleam.

Seeing the Eldest Prince already prepared to act, the demon clan's prideful ones hesitated no longer, all stirring their internal demonic energy as various demonic artifacts manifested out of thin air.

In an instant, a thick killing intent surged skyward, mingling with the lingering bloody stench from the earlier riot, making it hard to breathe.

Xie Xu's eyes narrowed; his ever-lazy and detached gaze narrowed slightly, a sharp light flashing past.

He slowly rose to his feet, about to speak, attempting to break this imminent stalemate—

But then, catching a glimpse from the corner of his eye, he noticed a movement among the human clan's ranks.

He saw many human clan's prideful ones gathering around Yuan Yao.

Yuan Yao's eyelashes fluttered lightly as she slowly opened her eyes; the first thing that came into view were the familiar, warm faces of her senior brothers and sisters.

Then came Dongjiao, Qian Yunzhou, and others.

Her chaotic thoughts were like shattered glazed tile, gradually being pieced together.

Her body remained weak; as her senior sister beside her helped her rise, she almost instinctively let her gaze sweep over the crowd.

With a single glance, she spotted the youth's figure.

She glanced over and immediately saw the youth's figure.

Xie Yan.
