River and Pearl experienced something extremely unusual after defeating the wyvern. The lands, which had once been so perilous for most of their lives, suddenly became so… mundane. They ran into Abyssals, and defeated them effortlessly. In fact, it almost seemed like the Abyssals were afraid of them for some reason they couldn't figure out.
If only they knew that it wasn't them that the Abyssals feared, but the aura from the necklace.
Regardless, that wasn't all. Since they both emitted the aura of Foundation realm cultivators, they were basically treated like nobility. Even other nobles would treat them with great care and etiquette, with only the royal family having the authority to actually order them around.
Moreover, they were stronger than even those who had higher cultivation levels, which made them feel like there wasn't much left in this land for them. At that point, Cliff did not even need to encourage them - they did their best to grow stronger and leave.
