1495 Chapter 1488: Hegemon: Demonic Abyss Master (3)

In this world of cultivators, the rare event of reunion was always the most cherished, the most precious, and the most emotional. This was especially so for mortal cultivators who died and lived uncertain lives for the ultimate pursuit of greater cultivation

There were times when the one you yearned to meet in this world had already left before you. There were times when they lived, but they suffered unimaginable horrors. There were times when they survived their tribulations and thrived in a far-off land, perhaps even having forgotten about the one who yearns for them, the one who prays for them hourly

This situation was not remotely like that

Na Xinyi's eyes glistened with wetness as her heart pounded. She saw a healthy, alive, and slightly pale Long Tingyu tied to a pillar by chains formed with intricate principles of the Way of Mysticism, laced with Mystic World Intent. While she was actively and slyly struggling against her captive state, she was whole. Completely and whole

Not a single hair was missing. Not crippled and barely breathing. Not the slightest soul shocked by harrowing experiences

All the vile, horrible things she thought were being imposed on that once feral and lively, rather simple little girl she remembered long ago were not the slightest bit true

The happiness Na Xinyi felt was indescribable

Despite her explosion of heartfelt joy, she didn't immediately fly down to Long Tingyu. Instead, she turned to Wei Wuyin, whose playful grin had long since turned into a warm, gentle smile reflecting a distinct happiness at seeing her own joy. Just as her lips parted, Wei Wuyin waved carelessly

The single interaction was enough for Na Xinyi to hold in her two words as two tears flowed down her cheeks. "Mn," she nodded her head

Wei Wuyin and Bai Lin flew a little bit away, and like mist dispersing in a heavy gust, they vanished from her vision and senses. Even to this day, Wei Wuyin was mindful of her wishes, avoiding them being seen by others together. Given her astonishing beauty and extreme talent, including Wei Wuyin's reputation with women, rumors would have long since flourished. As for herself, she was now outside of his range of concealment

Zhan You inclined his head slightly, looking up at that moment. His eyes flashed with a battle-ready glow, ready to act against any intruder, be it the Demonic Sovereign or powerful beings from the Azure-Prime Galactic Region. However, that glow in his eyes immediately lowered in intensity as Na Xinyi's innately imposing figure reflected within his pupils

He had received orders

Na Xinyi's eyes effused a supremely prominent yin light. Her arrival was caught by those with sufficient cultivation, especially the refined senses of those demon cultivators. While they were restrained, they still possessed their sensory faculties. If not for this mercy and the desire to gather carelessly spouted information, even discussing among themselves or shouting out curses and threats would have been an activity long deprived from them

Long Tingyu's eyes glowed a violet light as she felt that familiar yet extremely terrifying aura. Yin light pulsed in the sky like a new moon. The other demons halted their incessant roars and curses, looking up in shock.

"Extreme Yin Saintess! State your purpose!" Zhan You's tone was commanding, backed by the prestigious pride of a City Lord of the Endless Voyage Realm and a Soldier of War committed to performing their duty to the utmost. It was world-shaking!

As his fierce voice laced with authority and demand ravaged the world, the mortals who were farmers of Stellar Rain, who were partying in joyous celebration of the Ascendant Emperor's growing list of era-defining achievements and splendidly promising future of themselves and their families, were completely clueless. They continued their hearty acts without the slightest interruption.

Na Xinyi's eyes were serene, but her yin aura was far too intense to be calm! She answered with a single sword! As she withdrew her sword, she swung without the slightest hesitation. Zhan You's eyes widened and he projected a Mystic Ward that guarded the entire outpost. Then, before the eyes of all those who could see, tens of thousands of snow white swords manifested in the air, all pointed at the Outpost.

Then, they shot down!

Zhan You released a faint exclamation of shock. Without wasting a breath, he rushed out to intercept each sword. He was immediately stunted by their properties of negation and intangibility, experiencing a few wounds from initial carelessness. However, his reaction was not slow as he began to rapidly destroy each sword with unprecedented precision.

"The Extreme Yin Saintess?" The captive demons were shaken while Long Tingyu's eyes were larger than two violet full moons. This aura! This person!

Before she could properly think the situation through, an illusory figure shimmered into existence beside the captive demons. The sounds of Zhan You ferociously trying to protect the Outpost from those Yin Swords were thundering in the sky.

The two women exchanged gazes.

One pair of grey eyes.

One pair of violet eyes.

Endless emotions and countless details yearning to be exchanged.

This was all Na Xinyi needed to see to understand that this setup was the best course of action. She wielded her sword and swung again! The mystic chains that held them captive were immediately dispersed and negated by some profound principle unraveling the intrinsic yang within that gave it solid form. It dispersed into a mystic mist that hovered without substance.

Na Xinyi held out her hand toward Long Tingyu. Despite her situation, the young woman had no hesitation as she grabbed that slender, flawless hand. Na Xinyi didn't even bother to look at the other demons, taking Long Tingyu only. However, the demons were also freed as if by mere association. With the chains removed, their cultivation bases began to recover.

The extremely tall demon was taken aback, but she recognized the young, grey-eyed woman of enticing beauty that could fell nations, and his eyes glinted a demonic light. While their original goal was to act against this Outpost of the Neo-Dawn Starfield, there was a Worldly Saint currently present, and the thought of unleashing further damage was completely impossible. Moreover, if they didn't seize this narrow window to escape, the Worldly Saint would definitely recapture them again without question.

"Go!" He ordered verbally. The sounds of explosions above made it so only those nearby heard him. He rushed after Gao Tingyu and Na Xinyi. The other demons were astonished, but they all understood the concept of seizing opportunities. They rushed after.

The demons made their escape as Zhan You was distracted by those difficult to deal with yin swords. They ran. They ran more. And then they flew!

Whoosh!

With Na Xinyi in the lead, they flew far away from the Outpost into the misty unknown thousands of miles away. She didn't stop until then.

"..."

The demons were close behind. They skidded to a stop as Na Xinyi halted. "Why are we stopping? What if that World Emperor catches up?!" A demon with a gruff voice shouted in panic. They looked back praying to not see that the World Emperor wasn't catching up. Even Long Tingyu was a little panicked, but she trusted her Big Sister Xinyi.

"He's duty-bound to act within the Outpost only," Na Xinyi explained with a coldly indifferent voice. Then, her tone turned extremely warm, her eyes glistening with a tinge of distinct wetness as she took all of Long Tingyu's grown features in. "He won't be following."

"..." The demons were initially about to call Na Xinyi a stupid human, ignorant of the strength of a World Emperor, but the extremely tall demon spoke up at this moment. "She's right. That World Emperor would have long since learned of our existence, but he only acted when we entered the range of that Outpost. This suggests that his activity range and ability are extremely limited. Why else would he wait? Why else would he capture us and not kill us immediately?"

The extremely tall demon's words sparked realization in many of their minds and eyes. That was right!

"..."

Long Tingyu sighed softly with relief.

"Tingyu," Na Xinyi's eyes were soft, her Supreme Yin World Rune and her Sword Intent flared with pulsating power. She pulled Long Tingyu to the side, her sword in hand, and its sharpest point was directed at the extremely tall demon.

"You took my sister from me, Demonic Abyss Master. If you don't give me an explanation, today will be the last day you breathe in this world."

"..." The extremely tall demon's eyes, otherwise known as the Demonic Abyss Master, squinted with demonic light on the verge of bursting out. The other demons were stirred by this, their demonic auras rising upward.

"No!" Long Tingyu shouted. "She saved us!"

"I saved you," Na Xinyi coldly corrected.

"Wait! Big Sister Xinyi! He's my Ancestor! I know…I know you spent all this time looking for me. I know that you're angry, really, really angry, but don't fight. Okay?" She tugged at Na Xinyi's sleeves. At this moment, Na Xinyi heard the voice of that little girl who was as wild as a beast in battle and feral, but as ignorant and innocent as a young child. She took a deep breath as her yin force slowly abated but not entirely.

"As long as he explains to me why he took you, I'll spare their lives," Na Xinyi could only helplessly reply this way.

"You promise?" Long Tingyu seemed to want it written in stone.

"I promise," Na Xinyi nodded with a gentle voice.

The other demons were already on the verge of attacking, and the sight of a Mortal woman threatening them, declaring that as long as an explanation was given, they would keep their lives, stirred their will to slaughter as indignation formed in their hearts.

"I don't repay kindness with enmity. If not for you, we would have still been captured there. So I'll answer any questions that I can," the Demonic Abyss Master calmly stated. Since Na Xinyi had saved them, he'd answer what he could. Moreover, seeing her emotions toward Gao Tingyu, he didn't feel any need to press the issue.

Meanwhile, Wei Wuyin and Bai Lin were extremely far away from the group. They hovered over the misty chill. When Wei Wuyin first came here, he was blind in vision. Now, his Celestial Eyes were fully active and profoundly more powerful.

"So that's how you look, Demonic Sovereign."

Beneath the ground, a gigantic violet serpentine eye was shining brilliantly, staring directly at the man and beast duo!

Wei Wuyin grinned with bright eyes, "It's somewhat unfortunate that you didn't try to contest my path of conquest. Still, this makes things much easier. You want freedom, right? Do you want the solar radiance of my Baby Defiant? Well, I have something a little bit bigger for you."

At this point, several of those monstrously serpentine eyes gleaming with violet radiance appeared. Up to four! They all focused themselves on Wei Wuyin as if unnaturally interested in his words.

"Since this is what you wanted from the very beginning. Let's make a deal."

Then, five more eyes emerged. They were separated by distances of hundreds of thousands of miles, yet their pupils all focused on a single area! Wei Wuyin!

"Good," Wei Wuyin's eyes shone with six wisps of Minor Law aura. "I have all of your attention then."
