Dongfang Hao's expression carried bone-deep coldness.
Although Dongfang Aoyue had fallen into the Shattered Abyss.
It could not be confirmed that she had fallen.
He needed to see her alive, or see her corpse if she were dead.
Dongfang Hao felt unwilling to accept this.
Just then.
A huge shadow suddenly cast down from the distant sky.
It was a Xuanhuang Roc.
Standing on it were two figures; naturally, it was Jun Xiaoyao and Waner.
"It's you!"
When Li Chengtian saw Jun Xiaoyao, his pupils immediately shot out an unprecedentedly cold and sharp glint.
Dongfang Hao's eyes also shook, then revealed coldness.
Jun Xiaoyao swept his gaze across the area, saw the chaotic scene, and immediately understood.
He had arrived a step too late.
Dongfang Aoyue had likely fallen into the Shattered Abyss.
Given Li Xianyao's personality, she likely wouldn't have sat idly by.
Therefore, both women had likely fallen into it.
Jun Xiaoyao's eyes also carried a trace of coldness.
Although he felt that, with the two women's abilities, they shouldn't face any fatal crisis.
But the fact that Dongfang Hao, Li Chengtian, and the others dared to attack them had already filled Jun Xiaoyao with murderous intent.
"It seems I have been too lenient with you all previously, causing you to misjudge this Young Master's personality."
Jun Xiaoyao's gaze was cold as frost.
He had indeed adopted a laissez-faire policy toward leeks like Dongfang Hao.
But this time, they had truly touched Jun Xiaoyao's reverse scale.
Jun Xiaoyao's peripheral vision noticed a woman to the side whose face had turned slightly pale.
It was Zhong Yingying.
"Is it you?"
Jun Xiaoyao looked at Zhong Yingying.
It was this Zhong Yingying who had instigated things, causing Dongfang Aoyue, who was in the form of Yue Nianjun, to fall into this trap.
"I… I didn't know Yue Nianjun was related to the Young Master…"
Zhong Yingying's face was deathly pale, her voice trembling, and she couldn't help but say.
Even as a noble lady of the Zhong family of the Yuding Merchant Alliance, facing Jun Xiaoyao, she was like an ant.
Just the terrifying pressure brought by Jun Xiaoyao's gaze made Zhong Yingying's delicate body tremble, almost causing her to wet herself.
Jun Xiaoyao didn't say a word and attacked directly.
Dongfang Hao dared to attack his woman, Dongfang Aoyue.
Then he would wipe out Dongfang Hao's woman.
It was that simple.
"Stop!"
Dongfang Hao also shouted violently and moved to stop him.
The ten top-tier experts of the Yuan Demon Clan and Earth Spirit Clan, as well as Li Chengtian, all attacked.
A great battle erupted immediately.
Waner and Quasi-Emperor Peng Feiyang did not intervene.
Jun Xiaoyao intended to suppress everyone alone.
Meanwhile.
Deep within the Shattered Abyss.
In the endlessly overlapping shattered spaces.
There was a fragment of space.
Inside this space fragment.
Two women stood facing each other.
It was Li Xianyao and Dongfang Aoyue.
Li Xianyao, in white clothes, was slightly tattered.
At the corner of her lips, there was also a striking trace of blood.
In that last great collision, she had almost borne all the impact alone.
One must know that the full-force attacks of Li Chengtian, Dongfang Hao, and the others carried no small amount of power.
Although Li Xianyao had withstood it alone, she had also sustained some injuries.
Dongfang Aoyue, seeing the blood at the corner of Li Xianyao's lips, her eyes flickered, but she showed no expression.
She remained as cold and indifferent as ever.
"Do you think that by saving me once like this, I will discard my past grievances and feel moved? Then you are mistaken."
Dongfang Aoyue's voice was cold.
The hatred and enmity accumulated over long years could not be resolved so simply.
Although Li Xianyao was innocent, she was, after all, raised by Saint Li, and she acknowledged the enemy as her father.
Dongfang Aoyue still could not acknowledge her.
"I know. Over these years, you have endured too much."
"No matter how much I do, I cannot make amends."
"However, please give me a chance to repay you."
Li Xianyao wiped the blood from her lips and looked directly at Dongfang Aoyue.
She did not want to escape; she wanted to face it.
"Make amends? Repay?"
Dongfang Aoyue laughed when she heard this—a cold laugh.
She raised her hand, and magic patterns spread over her body, with blood-colored light spraying out.
A sword emerged from her chest.
It was the demon sword seven sins!
Dongfang Aoyue grasped the hilt, pulled it out inch by inch, and pointed it directly at Li Xianyao.
"Some things, once lost, are gone forever."
"Just like a piece of porcelain; once shattered, no matter how you mend it, it will always have cracks."
"This hatred cannot be mended; it can only be washed away with blood…"
As Dongfang Aoyue finished speaking, the demon sword seven sins thrust straight at Li Xianyao.
And this time, there was no Jun Xiaoyao to block it.
Seeing this, Li Xianyao made no move.
Instead, she smiled slightly.
If this could make Dongfang Aoyue feel better.
Then so be it.
It was indeed her debt; she owed too, too much.
Li Xianyao closed her eyes.
Then, she felt a slight sting in her chest.
She opened her eyes slightly.
Dongfang Aoyue had indeed thrust the sword toward her chest.
But, it only pierced a little bit and did not penetrate.
The trickles of blood that oozed out stained Li Xianyao's snow-white collar.
"You…"
Li Xianyao looked at Dongfang Aoyue.
Dongfang Aoyue's jade hand gripping the hilt was clenched tight, her knuckles turning white.
But she did not thrust it in.
Instead, she withdrew the demon sword seven sins.
Dongfang Aoyue's expression remained very cold.
She just said indifferently: "Don't misunderstand. I didn't strike, not because I didn't dare. You must have heard of the name Blood Princess."
Hearing this, Li Xianyao lowered her eyes.
She naturally knew about Dongfang Aoyue's nickname, Blood Princess.
She also knew that this was because, having witnessed the pain of losing her mother with her own eyes, her soul had become painfully twisted.
Only then did she become that violent and cold Blood Princess who made people tremble with fear.
"I didn't act because of Xiaoyao."
"If he knew I attacked you, he would be displeased."
During the Great War of the Xuanhuang Multiverse, she had wanted to attack Li Xianyao, but was stopped by Jun Xiaoyao.
Now, if she really hurt Li Xianyao, or even killed her.
Then the consequences would be unpredictable.
Although she didn't know what Karma and bonds existed between Li Xianyao and Jun Xiaoyao.
But she knew she didn't want to make Jun Xiaoyao suffer, and even less did she want Jun Xiaoyao to dislike or loathe her.
Killing Li Xianyao would make Jun Xiaoyao unhappy.
So Dongfang Aoyue would not do it, even if it made her own heart suffer.
But it didn't matter.
She was already used to enduring pain; precisely because of that, she didn't want Jun Xiaoyao to experience the same pain.
Hearing Dongfang Aoyue's words, Li Xianyao was slightly silent.
Then a smile suddenly appeared at the corners of her lips.
It was a somewhat desolate smile.
What Dongfang Aoyue didn't know was that she did indeed have a bond with Jun Xiaoyao.
But this bond was not because of her.
It was because she was a replacement for a certain woman, one of the Divine Souls of a certain woman.
That woman's name was Jiang Shengyi.
"What are you smiling at?"
Dongfang Aoyue saw the smile at the corners of Li Xianyao's lips.
For some reason, she felt this smile had a hint of desolation and sadness.
Li Xianyao shook her head slightly, and then, she suddenly summoned the Feathered Cyan Gold Ancient Sword.
This sword was also given to her by Jun Xiaoyao when she first met him in the World within a World.
Seeing this scene, Dongfang Aoyue also gripped the demon sword seven sins tightly.
But the next moment, something she hadn't anticipated happened.
Li Xianyao turned the blade around, and the veil on her face slid off.
The cold blade pressed against her perfect, exquisite, and flawless jade face.
