Chapter 593: Leaving the Abyss

Yuan Yao lightly answered, "Good."

Xie Yan heard it and the corners of his mouth lifted.

The Heaven's Pride, seeing their intimate behavior, were no longer surprised.

Immediately, the Heaven's Pride quickly tended to their wounds.

And the Abyss Beast Lord stared fixedly at Yuan Yao, its beast eyes brimming with raging fury.

Yuan Yao lifted her head, her expression icy as she met its gaze.

"If you want to perish with us, then go ahead and attack us. If not, you'd better not harbor any ulterior motives, because you will surely die before us!"

The Abyss Beast Lord, having lived so many years, had never been warned like this before.

It was filled with humiliation and fury.

But it was not an impulsive beast; it slowly said, "I will help you leave the Abyss, but you must first undo the contract!"

"You have no right to negotiate." Yuan Yao said calmly.

The Abyss Beast Lord flew into a rage.

"You!"

Yuan Yao gave it a faint smile.

The Abyss Beast Lord grew even more furious, this human ant daring to provoke it—she actually dared to provoke it like this!

How unreasonable!

Is this human ant completely insane?!

Is she insane?!

After about a quarter of an hour, all the Heaven's Pride had mostly tended their wounds, and they looked toward Yuan Yao.

Yuan Yao took a deep breath and said, "Everyone, we have spent four years and six months in the Abyss; you should know well what kind of people we human cultivators are. Now we are to leave the Abyss, but our destination is the Cultivation Realm!"

The Heaven's Pride hearing this were all dazed.

"To the Cultivation Realm?!"

"Why go to the Cultivation Realm? Aren't we each supposed to return to our own places?"

"Yeah! Do you intend to wipe out our Yao and Demon tribes in one fell swoop? You're despicable and shameless, using us then discarding us!"

Yuan Yao interrupted their speculation, saying, "I don't intend to kill you."

Quan Li narrowed her eyes and said, "Then what do you want us to do in the Cultivation Realm?"

Yuan Yao said, "Naturally, it is to stop the Three Realms war."

Quan Xiu said, "You want us to fight against our own kind?"

"Not to fight, but to prevent!" Yuan Yao shook her head. "Do you want the Three Realms to erupt in war?"

The Yao and Demon Heaven's Pride exchanged glances.

To them, the Three Realms war is optional.

Some Heaven's Pride even hope for the Three Realms to erupt in war, so they can vent their emotions and act recklessly.

Yuan Yao raised an eyebrow and smiled: "If you want the Three Realms to erupt in war, that's fine too; then don't blame us for being ruthless. I, Yuan Yao, will surely drive you to your deaths, make you wish you were dead, and no matter where you flee, I will track you down, because I have planted a spiritual imprint on each of you."

The Yao and Demon Heaven's Pride hearing this, their faces changed drastically.

Quan Fan lowered his gaze to the faint spiritual imprint on his wrist, then suddenly lifted his head, shocked and angry, saying, "Yuan Yao, did you plan this all along?"

"Yes!" Yuan Yao slightly lifted her chin and replied loudly.

She coldly swept her gaze over the Heaven's Pride's faces: "I can use spiritual power to save you, and I can also use spiritual power to kill you!"

Quan Li curled her lips and smiled: "Good, I promise you, our Demon Heaven's Pride will strive to prevent the Demon invasion of the Cultivation Realm. After success, you will erase the spiritual imprints on us, alright?"

Yuan Yao returned a smile: "Good."

The Demon Heaven's Pride hearing this also all agreed.

They feared Yuan Yao and feared the Abyss-Clearing Squad.

If they truly became enemies with them, they would surely die sooner or later.

The Yao Heaven's Pride all looked toward Xie Yan, but saw Xie Yan silently standing behind Yuan Yao, and their mouths twitched.

Well, they basically don't need to oppose.

Because their leader had already submitted to Yuan Yao.

Among the Yao Heaven's Pride, only Xie Xu noticed that earlier Yuan Yao and Quan Li were acting in concert, likely they had already planned it.

Xie Xu lowered his eyes, feeling stifled.

If his cultivation talent were higher than Xie Yan's, would Yuan Yao think of supporting him to rise?

Probably... not.

Because Xie Yan is Yuan Yao's person.

"Since none of you have any objections, we will now leave the Abyss!" Yuan Yao said, then leapt up, standing in the void, her left hand hovering with a black Abyss Core, her right hand gripping the Phantom Spirit Sword.

At this moment——

The Abyss Core suddenly burst forth with strong black light, shooting violently upward; in an instant, the blood‑filled sky was split by a black light, tearing outward.

Yuan Yao gripped the Phantom Spirit Sword with both hands and swung!

Clang——

The huge blade instantly pressed against the sky.

One sword splits heaven!

"Everyone, follow me in battle!" Yuan Yao's voice was resonant and powerful, as if from ancient times, directly touching the soul.

"Good!"

The Heaven's Pride loudly responded.

Above the heavens a massive vortex formed, and all the Heavenly Pride turned into a beam of light that surged toward the vortex!

The Beast Lord of the Boundary Abyss saw this scene, and before he could let Yuan Yao break the contract, a voice sounded within the Sea of Consciousness.

"I return the Boundary Heart to you!"

The Beast Lord of the Boundary Abyss caught the Boundary Heart that fell from the sky, but when he looked up again, their figures were already gone.

The Gate of the Boundary Abyss was also gradually closing.

The Beast Lord's expression turned unusually grim.

Damn human ants!

Meanwhile.

In the cultivation world, the borderlands of the Ninth Province.

Human Cultivators are defending against the attacks of the two demonic races.

The ground is piled with countless corpses, and blood flows like a river.

The battle between the Moon‑clad Immortal Sovereign and the demonic general She Chaishi nearly exhausted the spiritual energy within his body.

The Moon‑clad Immortal Sovereign seriously wounded She Chaishi, but also sustained severe injuries.

Her complexion turned deathly pale.

Suddenly, her pupils contracted sharply, and her keen gaze pierced the billowing smoke, catching a nearby squad of soaring demonic aura rushing toward the city gates with thunderous force; their objective was unmistakably clear—

They intend to break through the city‑defending formation!

Her complexion shifted slightly, an alarm rang in her heart, and she was about to use a secret technique to covertly send a message to the defending Immortal Lord atop the city tower who was overseeing the situation, warning of the imminent crisis.

In the split second she was distracted, She Chaishi, who had been eyeing her like a tiger, seized the fleeting opening, a flash of feral light in his eyes, his long blade wrapped in a fierce, cutting wind, slashing toward her back!

Puff—

The dull thud of the blade entering flesh came with excruciating pain; she was hurled backward, tracing an arc through the air.

A sweet taste rose in her throat as a spray of crimson blood burst forth, staining the front of her robe and the dust below.

"Uhh…" she muttered, suppressing the agony of organs tearing, and at the moment her body was about to hit the ground, the tip of her foot touched a point in the void, forcibly stabilizing her teetering form.

She Chaishi, however, followed like a shadow, snarling as he pressed forward, his blade swing surpassing before.

She clenched her teeth, forced the surging blood to settle, gripped her long sword tightly, and raised it again to meet him; though the sword's motion was slightly sluggish from the pain, it still bore an unyielding edge.
