Chapter 1232: Chapter 886: Journey to the Abyss (2)

"I dare to bet, having opened this club for so many years, I’ve never seen such a top-grade item! As long as it is well-trained, it will be an unfailing money-maker!"

"But, isn’t the age too young..."

"Young age makes training easier, besides, those rich folks love this kind of thing!"

"However, that little snake’s temper is terribly foul, beaten up like that, still won’t submit, it’s hard to handle..."

"Hmph! I specialize in dealing with such tough nuts. If I weren’t afraid of damaging that good-looking skin, I’d have already beat him to a pulp, skin him and tear the sinew."

"..."

Xue Yinzhou looked at the scene before him, listening to the words coming from outside, he didn’t need to see to imagine the hideous faces of those people.

A fleeting emotional fluctuation seemed to appear on his frost-cold face, deeply buried memories, almost forgotten long ago, surged back up.

Xue Yinzhou remembered, when he was a child and got captured by the people of the Slave Market, they wanted to force him to do those disgusting things.

He struggled and resisted for a long time, finding himself powerless against them, he feigned submission, seized the chance to kill a Steward and escape, but unfortunately was captured again.

Then, Xue Yinzhou went through a period even darker, the Slave Market could not make him completely submit, so they planned to sell him off early to make a quick profit, drugging and tying him up to sell as a server.

That night, he ended up killing the customer and attempted to escape again, but alas, the effects of the drug in his body had not worn off, leaving him weak, and he was captured again.

The Slave Market lost a huge sum of money, and was even ordered to close down!

The infuriated owner dragged Xue Yinzhou onto the street, ready to kill him in anger, and later unexpectedly encountered the traveling Princess, who bought him and took him to the Imperial Palace.

Xue Yinzhou’s eyes grew deep, the Abyss’s power wanted to evoke his most painful memories, hoping to thereby shatter his spirit? How laughable.

Xue Yinzhou gathered a sword blade in his palm, smashing the Illusion Realm with a bang.

After the Illusion Realm dispersed, his pupils shrank fiercely, he stumbled back a step, and called out in a lost voice, "Tangtang..."

The woman lay there, covered in blood, her pure white dress stained red, like a flower about to wilt and wither.

Weakly, she reached out to him, repeatedly crying, "Yin Zhou...save me...save me!"

Xue Yinzhou’s ice-cold face shattered, in his eyes loomed heavy sorrow, this was the nightmare that trapped him for years, that nightmare replayed once more.

He watched as the female died in his arms, while he was powerless, despairing to the point of wanting to die together.

Restraining the malice surrounding him, Xue Yinzhou stepped forward, bending down to hold the woman in his arms.

She smiled contentedly, "It’s fine, you came to save—ugh!"

The man’s cold, slender hand fell onto the back of her neck, suddenly snapping it.

The voice that should have been tender was as cold as if it came from Hell, "You don’t deserve to impersonate her."

The female in his arms instantly turned into a cloud of black gas and vanished.

Slowly rising, Xue Yinzhou’s face returned to its icy, ruthless state, slashing at the void with a sword!

The void was split in half and rapidly dispersed.

The Illusion Realm disappeared, Xue Yinzhou returned to the cave, the sculpture before him shattered and collapsed into ruins.

Where the sculpture had stood, a black feather floated in the emptiness.

Is it a Feather Clan feather?

No...

The moment Xue Yinzhou grasped the feather, it turned into a blade, slicing his palm.

Blood flowed down the lines of his palm, dripping onto the ground.

Fortunately, Xue Yinzhou reacted quickly, otherwise, half his arm might have been chopped off.

He found it somewhat surprising; there were few forces now that could still injure him.

It seemed, this was the power of the God of Abyss.

The wound on Xue Yinzhou’s palm was quickly enveloped in Black Fog, healing instantly without a trace of injury.

He’s no mortal body either, this level of injury was far from harming him.

Nevertheless, recalling that brief moment of extreme darkness and viscous power, as if penetrated into his heart yet seemed to tear his soul... utterly disgusting, yet incredible.

A hint of gravity flashed in Xue Yinzhou’s eyes; he was determined to utterly destroy the Abyss, to prevent this cursed power from endangering Shen Tang!

Xue Yinzhou closed his eyes; the empty cave, except for the collapsed statue, contained only him, the air permeated with a thick, pungent scent of blood, and the temperature seemed to grow even colder and cheerless, chilling to the bone.

Xue Yinzhou felt increasingly unhuman.

Ever since he completely refined the Bone of Devouring, this feeling grew stronger, as if it’s some inescapable curse, his surroundings... weren’t meant for the living.

Whenever Xue Yinzhou closed his eyes, he would recall that nightmare—If one day, his existence truly brings her harm, he’d rather entirely disappear from her side.

But he would never truly leave.

He would forever guard her, secretly removing threats for her, ensuring her lifelong safety.

"Found it."

Xue Yinzhou abruptly opened his purple eyes, placing his palm on a certain spot of the stone wall, coldly uttering, "Break!"

The hidden seal was undone.

An opening appeared in the air.

This space rift differed from a temporal rift—within it surged a manic darkness, threatening to shred all.

This was the entrance to the Abyss, the haven of the Fallen God!

Legend says entering the Abyss, one never returns.

This was a battle with no turning back.

Dropping his hand to his side, Xue Yinzhou clenched it, the bulging veins fiercely standing out, but his mind was resolute, stepping into it without hesitation.

"Goodbye, Tangtang."

"Ah!"

Shen Tang woke up from a dream with a scream, "Yin Zhou! Don’t go..."

"Tangtang, what’s wrong?"

Lu Xiao, Xiao Jin, Jia Lan, Shen Li, and Shu Kui all surrounded the bed anxiously.

Shen Tang’s eyes were unfocused, unable to reply to their questions, nervously inquiring to the System within her mind, her voice tinged with fear, "I—I had a dream, I dreamt Xue Yinzhou went to a very dangerous place, I couldn’t find him no matter how I searched, I couldn’t even sense the mark he left on me...Is he in trouble?"

However, even the System had completely lost any sense of Xue Yinzhou.

Previously the System couldn’t precisely locate him, yet still sensed his existence in the world.

But just now, Xue Yinzhou seemed to evaporate from the world, disappearing without a trace.

There’s only one place in the world that can completely block the System’s detection.

[Host, he has likely gone to the fabled Origin Land!]

"What? Why would he go there?"

[Legend has it the Abyss’s lair is sealed within the Origin Land. Maybe... he’s trying to solve the Abyss for you once and for all?]

Shen Tang’s face turned pale instantly; even if Xue Yinzhou was powerful, he was alone, how could he resist the Abyss on his own?

Unless, he was prepared to be shattered to pieces, perish with it... was he really so determined, ready never to return!

Idiot, fool!

Why is he so stupid?!

Why is he always so stubborn, determinately gambling... why not discuss it with her? Was he afraid she’d refuse to let him go?

Shen Tang pulled off the quilt, attempting to struggle out of bed, perhaps tensions were at their peak, a sudden intense pain hit her abdomen, causing her to scream again, grabbing Lu Xiao’s arm tightly, "Ah!"

Her face was ghastly pale, large beads of sweat falling one by one, her knuckles whitened as she clutched, and Lu Xiao’s arm was bleeding from her grip.

Lu Xiao, Xiao Jin, Jia Lan, Shen Li were all terrified, their minds went blank in an instant, left at a loss.

Shu Kui urged urgently, "Quick, get ready, she’s about to give birth!"
