The abyss was pitch black, colder than any cliff.
The wind howled by their ears, and countless scarlet ghosts stared into Liu Qiaoqiao's eyes.
"Entering the illusion realm will bring happiness, forgetting all hatred."
Hao Duoyu's eyes showed urgency as he saw Liu Qiaoqiao's expression turn dazed.
"Ah Ye, I want to be with Ah Ye."
Liu Qiaoqiao murmured, her gaze fixed on Xiao Ye's black robes.
At this moment, her desire was amplified to its limit, and Liu Qiaoqiao's expression became even more infatuated.
This was Liu Qiaoqiao's only chance.
After all, the illusion realms in the abyss were much like those on land.
Just nestled by mountains and water, heading towards the gathering place of the scarlet ghosts.
She wanted to enter the illusion realm with Xiao Ye and return to their initial sweetness.
As if guided by spirits, Liu Qiaoqiao, at the moment the scarlet ghosts dragged Xiao Ye into the abyss.
She lunged madly, emitting a dense white light from her body.
Liu Qiaoqiao hugged Xiao Ye's waist, tilting her head up towards him sweetly, "Ah Ye, can we be together forever? Forget everything before, forget this Blue Star that has wronged you."
Xiao Ye was only a few steps away from the abyss. The shaggy monster whimpered anxiously, while Zuo Wang remained completely unresponsive.
He seemed to be hypnotized, unable to react for a moment.
When Xiao Ye's consciousness cleared, he was already being held by the waist by Liu Qiaoqiao.
His gaze swept past Hao Duoyu's smile, then lowered to meet the clinging Liu Qiaoqiao.
In an instant, Xiao Ye and Liu Qiaoqiao were about to plummet into the abyss.
A black sword suddenly appeared from Xiao Ye's body, releasing immense power that separated him and Liu Qiaoqiao.
At the critical moment, Liu Qiaoqiao, holding Xiao Ye, sank into the abyss.
Xiao Ye's eyes flashed with icy coldness, and dark energy surged into Liu Qiaoqiao's body.
Liu Qiaoqiao's power was sealed, and a destructive attack threatened to shatter her very bones.
She instantly released her grip in pain, seeing Xiao Ye's emotionless face.
A single word, wounding and shattering the heart.
"Scram."
In Liu Qiaoqiao's disbelieving eyes, Xiao Ye's body repelled the scarlet ghosts, dark energy swirling around him as he flew upwards.
However, he was too close to the abyss, and countless scarlet ghost hands dragged him down.
Innumerable illusion realms flickered before Xiao Ye's eyes.
He looked at Mu Qinglan on the ground. Xiao Ye's divine personality exuded terrifyingly powerful energy, as if the very air was tearing and exploding.
A suction force emanated from Xiao Ye, and his palm forcefully pulled her towards him.
Mu Qinglan trembled weakly all over, feeling Xiao Ye's powerful pull from within the abyss.
She wanted to escape, but her strength was far from what it used to be.
Mu Qinglan struggled with difficulty, her body being continuously drawn towards Xiao Ye.
The dark energy also enveloped her entire being.
Accompanied by Liu Qiaoqiao's heart-wrenching cry, "No—"
Xiao Ye's movement was exquisitely precise. He glanced at the regretful, tearful Liu Qiaoqiao, and then plunged into the abyss with Mu Qinglan.
After they disappeared, the fissure in the abyss began to close rapidly.
The scarlet ghosts on the ground attempted to flee, but the shaggy monster grabbed them and swallowed them.
As the scarlet ghosts were mostly devoured by the shaggy monster, its body abruptly expanded by a circumference.
Countless illusion realms shattered, and the scarlet ghosts were intimidated by the shaggy monster.
Zuo Wang, standing nearby, finally came to his senses. He looked around in a daze.
The air was suffocatingly calm.
"Xiao Wang?!"
Zuo Wang rushed to the edge of the abyss. Seeing the closing fissure, he continuously struck it with his black flames and power.
The figures of Xiao Ye and Mu Qinglan seemed to have vanished from this sky.
Zuo Wang felt extremely agitated. He had watched Xiao Ye fall into the abyss with his own eyes.
He roared coldly, "What did you do to Xiao Wang?"
Liu Qiaoqiao, severely injured by Xiao Ye's dark energy, spat out large amounts of blood from her mouth.
However, this did little to alleviate Liu Qiaoqiao's grief. Her beautiful face was blank and lost.
"Ah Ye... Ah Ye is gone..."
She could not believe that Xiao Ye had taken Mu Qinglan into the abyss.
Why couldn't heaven grant her wish just once?
Why was it so cruel to her?
Liu Qiaoqiao's last plan, her chance to be with Xiao Ye, had also vanished.
What crushed Liu Qiaoqiao even further was that Xiao Ye had taken another woman with him.
Would Xiao Ye and Mu Qinglan remain in the illusion realm forever?
As Liu Qiaoqiao pondered, she heard Hao Duoyu's ecstatic laughter.
Hao Duoyu was certain that Xiao Ye had entered the abyss, and he laughed uncontrollably, "Hahaha, Xiao Ye, you're finally going to die. I, Hao Duoyu, have defeated you. I have truly sent you to hell."
An unprecedented sense of pleasure surged into his heart like a rush of blood.
Hao Duoyu's face turned flushed red. His joyous, ugly demonic face became even more distorted.
He laughed heartily, as if the world was within his grasp.
At the moment his plan succeeded, Hao Duoyu almost couldn't believe it.
Hearing the word "hell," Liu Qiaoqiao looked up in despair, "Isn't it an illusion realm? What hell is Hao Duoyu talking about?"
" hasn't the God of War Liu figured it out yet? This was all my plan. I never intended for the scarlet ghosts to use illusions to bring you and Xiao Ye together."
Hao Duoyu looked at Liu Qiaoqiao's sorrowful expression and grew even more gleeful and arrogant. "My deal with the scarlet ghosts was to kill Xiao Ye at all costs. I became the ruler of Blue Star and offered resources to their scarlet ghost tribe!"
He had used Liu Qiaoqiao's infatuated love to scheme for Xiao Ye's fall into the abyss.
In Hao Duoyu's plan, he had originally intended to trick Liu Qiaoqiao into pulling Xiao Ye into the abyss with her to die.
Once the rift in the scarlet ghosts' abyssal lair closed, everything within became prey!
The patriarch had also promised Hao Duoyu that they would trap and kill Xiao Ye in the abyss.
Liu Qiaoqiao looked at Hao Duoyu's triumphant demeanor, her lips losing all color.
Her entire vision blurred, her mind unable to process such news.
"I was used by you, you used me!!"
Seeing Liu Qiaoqiao's murderous gaze, Hao Duoyu smiled, "What is used and not used? We are just taking what we need."
It was she who had harmed Xiao Ye, designing his fall into the abyss.
Only death awaited Xiao Ye.
This was not the ending she wanted!
Liu Qiaoqiao felt as if her heart had been ripped out.
Her beautiful eyes widened, seemingly reaching a critical point of pain.
"How could this be!"
Beside her, Tan Yueya saw Mu Qinglan and Xiao Ye both fall into the abyss.
She also regained her mobility and said with a pale face, "Mu Qinglan and Xiao Ye died together?"
"Yes, as long as Xiao Ye died in the abyss, what does the sacrifice of a War God Mu matter?"
Hao Duoyu laughed heartily, his face beaming. "What does it matter if Xiao Ye obtained the Alliance? What does it matter if he reached divinity? He still couldn't defeat me, Hao Duoyu!!"
His lifetime of reputation had finally overcome Xiao Ye.
Zuo Wang was also stimulated, his black flames increasing in speed.
His dark eyes were filled with surging anger. The Xiao King he had finally come to acknowledge.
Was he killed through the schemes of such trash?
"You damned ugly fish."
Zuo Wang could not contain his rage, and the air crackled with sound.
He shot towards Hao Duoyu like an arrow loosed from a bow.
Zuo Wang appeared to have lost his mind, ready to avenge Xiao Ye.
Having killed Xiao Ye, Hao Duoyu was not afraid of Zuo Wang.
He boasted arrogantly, "Can you, a mere mount, still injure me?"
Looking at Hao Duoyu's ugly face, Zuo Wang charged forward recklessly.
