Tan Yueya saw the sorrow in Liu Qiaoqiao's eyes. She looked on the verge of collapse.
Liu Qiaoqiao stood rooted to the spot, swaying precariously.
She could hear nothing of the fighting and noise around her.
Liu Qiaoqiao just kept repeating, to the flat ground, "A Ye... A Ye, hurry and come out, hurry and come out!"
"I was wrong, I shouldn't have believed Hao Duoyu, I shouldn't have believed his lies."
She just wanted to be with Xiao Ye too much.
Blood trickled from Liu Qiaoqiao's mouth, and she collapsed onto the ground.
Her hands continuously rubbed the ground, as if wishing for an abyss to open.
The blood fell onto the ground, and Liu Qiaoqiao seemed not to notice.
"I've harmed you, I've terribly harmed you!"
Liu Qiaoqiao laughed through tears, on the brink of despair.
Spilled water could not be gathered.
She had tried her best to hold onto A Ye, to start anew.
But there would be no second chance for Liu Qiaoqiao!
Everything, all her efforts, had been in vain.
Liu Qiaoqiao, her voice hoarse with pain, cried out, "A Ye... I shouldn't have indulged in such fantasies, should I... I shouldn't have forced you by my side. There's no regret medicine in reincarnation."
But she just wouldn't accept it. She had lost her aura as a female war god.
She had also failed Xiao Ye's love.
Liu Qiaoqiao refused to admit such failure, unable to even keep the man she loved by her side.
"Mu Qinglan, why must you die with A Ye? I will scour heaven and earth to retrieve A Ye's remains."
Liu Qiaoqiao's beautiful eyes turned crimson. She suddenly found strength, rising in a fit of deranged madness.
She cursed into the abyss, "I won't let you take my A Ye, no one will have him!"
Tan Yueya stood opposite Liu Qiaoqiao, looking at her with pity.
Liu Qiaoqiao also noticed her gaze and became suddenly wary, "Are you trying to snatch my A Ye too? You're all after him!"
Having lost Xiao Ye twice in quick succession, Liu Qiaoqiao's fragile nerves could not withstand further torment.
Her intense love had turned into madness, her eyes bloodshot.
Liu Qiaoqiao wanted to kill Tan Yueya, to kill all the female war gods.
Then no one could take Xiao Ye away from her.
Liu Qiaoqiao endured her serious injuries, moving with extreme speed to stand before Tan Yueya.
A terrifying killing intent emanated from her.
Tan Yueya said, "War God Liu, please be lucid. Xiao Ye has fallen into the Scarlet Ghost Abyss, and War God Mu sacrificed herself. They are not coming back."
Liu Qiaoqiao stiffened upon hearing this.
Then, she felt something cold on her face. She raised a hand to wipe it, realizing it was tears.
Tan Yueya's words made it impossible for Liu Qiaoqiao to deceive herself.
A wry smile appeared on her once radiant face.
"No, A Ye won't die. He has already obtained this Blue Star, the entire alliance is his..."
The more Liu Qiaoqiao thought about it, the more sense it made. She exclaimed excitedly, "If A Ye doesn't come back, I'll kill everyone and drag the entire world down with him into destruction."
Seeing Liu Qiaoqiao's incoherent ramblings, a sense of sadness washed over Tan Yueya.
"A Ye wouldn't want this to happen, so he'll come looking for me, right?"
Liu Qiaoqiao gripped Tan Yueya's shoulder, her eyes filling with light and hope.
How could the once glamorous Liu Qiaoqiao have become so deranged?
"Yes."
Upon hearing Tan Yueya's reply, Liu Qiaoqiao's slender body trembled.
With a satisfied smile, she vanished from the spot.
Liu Qiaoqiao's parting words were, "I will find A Ye, I will wait for him to return."
Watching Liu Qiaoqiao depart.
Tan Yueya's expression was complex. She loathed this broken world.
Everything had become distorted because of Xiao Ye.
If Tan Yueya had the chance to live elsewhere, she would not hesitate to take it.
Hao Duoyu and King Zuo were locked in a fierce battle. His offensive power was insufficient, but his defensive power made King Zuo struggle.
Just then, a group of formidable old ancestors appeared in the distance.
Tan Yueya recognized them. "Ancestor Gu Xuan!"
Ancestor Gu Xuan and the others had tracked Xiao Ye's aura and found this dark, empty clearing.
"Where did that kid go?"
Tan Yueya saw the ancestors approaching aggressively, clearly intending to seek revenge on Xiao Ye.
She explained the situation: Xiao Ye had entered the Scarlet Ghost Abyss.
Ancestor Gu Xuan and the others knew that no one could escape the Scarlet Ghost's domain.
They shook their heads in anger. "Lucky for that kid, to die so easily."
Ancestor Gu Xuan and the others saw the plague water still at the scene and couldn't resist trying to apprehend it.
King Zuo, seeing the unfavorable turn of events, immediately shielded the furry monster in front of him.
Hao Duoyu was able to catch his breath. He looked shrewdly at the ancestors.
Ancestor Gu Xuan and the others had cold expressions, clearly bearing a grudge against Xiao Ye.
Hao Duoyu immediately flew to them. Seeing that the ancestors were about to attack him,
he hastily exclaimed, "Esteemed ancestors, please don't mistake me! I am a great hero of the alliance!!"
"Do you think we're senile? You won't fool us!"
This was clearly an ugly, demonic fish.
Hao Duoyu's expression became even more grim upon seeing Ancestor Gu Xuan and the others.
He said with helpless grief, "My transformation into this ugly fish monster is all thanks to Xiao Ye."
Hao Duoyu exaggeratedly recounted Xiao Ye's transgressions.
Only then did Ancestor Gu Xuan and the others soften their expressions, looking at Hao Duoyu with a hint of sympathy.
Hao Duoyu pointed to King Zuo nearby. "This is Xiao Ye's lackey. Please, esteemed ancestors, annihilate them too."
"That goes without saying."
Ancestor Gu Xuan and the others exuded powerful auras, causing King Zuo to feel immense pressure and danger.
Clutching the furry monster, he let out a dragon's roar and flew towards the horizon.
Ancestor Gu Xuan and the others unleashed their techniques one after another, leaping up to pursue and attack King Zuo.
Hao Duoyu let out a sinister grin, his confidence soaring.
He threatened Tan Yueya, "From now on, I will be the new alliance leader. If you stand with me, I can still grant you the title of War God."
Tan Yueya's expression was calm as she saw Hao Duoyu's unconcealed smugness.
If Xiao Ye were dead, the infected of the Blue Star would also be a disorganized rabble.
Hao Duoyu, with his ability to communicate with demons, could lead the remaining few demons to reclaim the alliance.
Tan Yueya thought for a moment and then agreed to Hao Duoyu's terms.
They both left.
King Zuo, being chased by the group of ancestors, felt immense pressure.
Especially after expending his energy fighting Hao Duoyu earlier.
However, fate intervened when he encountered a plump figure.
Yuan Gun Gun was still heading towards the Scarlet Ghost's territory. Upon seeing King Zuo, he exclaimed happily, "Uncle King Zuo!"
Seeing King Zuo's rigid expression, Yuan Gun Gun spotted the enemies behind him.
"You're not allowed to bully Uncle King Zuo."
Yuan Gun Gun aimed his small hands at Ancestor Gu Xuan and the others and swatted at them.
Ancestor Gu Xuan was startled by the power he felt.
The group of ancestors changed direction and streaked away like meteors.
Having escaped danger, King Zuo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Yuan Gun Gun asked, "Why isn't Daddy with you?"
King Zuo was taken aback. He then told Yuan Gun Gun about trapping Xiao Ye in the abyss.
Yuan Gun Gun looked astonished.
King Zuo gazed in the direction of the abyss, planning to return there.
"However, I have a premonition that Xiao Ye entered the abyss intentionally..."
Otherwise, who on earth could have orchestrated such a situation for him?!
