"Dead. Cao Shuran died just like that."
Zhang Jingyang, who had lived the longest, had fought with them for the longest time.
However, Zhang Jingyang felt that it was unreal as he watched his former enemies die one after another in front of his eyes.
"It's your turn now!"
Jiang Chen turned around and looked at Zhang Jingyang like a ferocious tiger coming down the mountain.
"I'm willing to submit to you!"
Zhang Jingyang, who was shocked, knelt in front of Jiang Chen.
"Why should I believe you?"
Actually, Jiang Chen's heart was already moved when he looked at the picture.
After all, there were no experts in the Jiang family now, and he couldn't stay in the Jiang family all year round.
Therefore, Jiang Chen planned to find a spirit qi master to take charge. As for the candidate, it would naturally be all the spirit qi masters.
As long as he was willing to submit, it would be best if he was the kind that was willing.
Looking at this red-haired old man, he definitely wasn't the kind that was willing. Right now, he was only suppressed by his own strength.
Therefore, Jiang Chen already had a countermeasure in his heart. If the other party couldn't give him a satisfactory answer, then there was only one path left for Zhang Jingyang, and that was death.
"I'm willing to sign a contract!"
As a smart person, Zhang Jingyang could naturally feel Jiang Chen's determination, so he quickly came up with a plan.
"This is fine."
He Li, who was at the side, suggested, "But it must be a slave contract. Otherwise … Kill him!"
Her voice was cold and there was no room for negotiation.
"I!"
Zhang Jingyang opened his mouth, but after Jiang Chen glanced at him, he swallowed the rest of his words.
With his current realm, it could be said that he already understood that there were more possibilities as long as he was alive.
After all, the world changed too quickly. Who knew if Jiang Chen would die tomorrow, then wouldn't his opportunity be gone?
Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, he immediately agreed.
"Let's begin!"
With He Li's urging, Zhang Jingyang had no choice but to use his own spirit qi as a pen and ink to write a slave contract in the void.
"This is evidenced by the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. If he dares to go against it, the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth will instantly kill him."
He Li, who knew that Jiang Chen lacked such knowledge, explained in a soft voice.
"That's good."
Jiang Chen moved his little finger, and a wisp of black Qi was retracted into his hand.
"This is???"
The sharp-eyed He Li couldn't help but widen her eyes.
"How did you get this?"
Looking at the black gas that disappeared between Jiang Chen's fingers, He Li asked.
"You mean it?"
Jiang Chen raised his index finger, and a wisp of black gas spiraled above his fingertip.
"Soul Devouring Insect, it really is a Soul Devouring Insect."
He Li opened her sexy lips and said in shock, "This is the most precious treasure of the Devil Dao. How did you get it?"
Hearing their conversation, Zhang Jingyang looked at the Soul Devouring Bug in Jiang Chen's hand and shuddered involuntarily.
"Is this bug really so precious??"
Jiang Chen looked at He Li in confusion. It turned out that after he killed Xu Wanqing and Uncle Cao, the Soul Devouring Insect in his hand couldn't wait to devour their souls.
Therefore, Jiang Chen let it out. Now that it was back, it was unusually excited. Its small body emitted black smoke from time to time, as if it was burping.
If not for this, He Li wouldn't have been able to discover it.
"The number of Soul Devouring Insects in the entire Devil Dao can be counted on one hand. Do you think it's a treasure?"
He Li seemed to be very wary of this Soul Devouring Insect, and actually distanced herself from Jiang Chen.
"That's good. When I first got it, I thought it was too easy."
Then, Jiang Chen explained the process of getting it.
"I see. The Soul Devouring Enchantment is indeed the Gu Bell to nurture the Soul Devouring Insect."
He Li looked at Jiang Chen strangely. She had nurtured it for ten years without any results. Instead, she was forced to fuse with the enchantment and become this Soul Devouring Insect.
He was indeed the chosen one of the Dragon Bloodline. He was indeed destined.
He Li believed her father's words more and more.
"If I knew you had this Soul Devouring Insect, I wouldn't have used this contract."
He Li glanced at Zhang Jingyang. Although she didn't know what Jiang Chen was thinking, he was a Spirit Qi Master after all. He was still very dangerous.
Therefore, she had to bind him well. Otherwise, it would be fatal if he rebelled.
"What do you mean?"
Jiang Chen looked at He Li in confusion.
"There are thousands of array formations in the Soul Devouring Insect. He can devour souls to increase the number of array formations. Of course, he can also use the array formations to control people."
As He Li spoke, she deliberately glanced at Zhang Jingyang.
"No, I have already used the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth as a witness and made a contract. I will not betray you."
Zhang Jingyang was so scared that he lost two of his souls.
Because of this contract, as long as Jiang Chen died, it would be void.
But if he was really eaten by this Soul Devouring Insect, his soul would never be reincarnated.
"Don't worry, as long as you don't betray me, I will make the Soul Devouring Insect return your soul sooner or later."
Hearing He Li's words, Jiang Chen simply communicated with the Soul Devouring Insect.
He didn't expect it to work. Even the Soul Devouring Insect was very excited and eager.
"You can't do this to me!!!"
Zhang Jingyang's red hair instantly burned.
He was originally afraid of death, but after hearing about the Soul Devouring Insect, he actually chose to spontaneously combust instead of being bound by it. This showed how terrifying the Soul Devouring Insect was.
"If you spontaneously combust before the contract, I really can't do anything to you."
"But now??"
Jiang Chen sneered and directly made the contract intervene. Immediately, the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth surged. Not only did it extinguish the flames on Zhang Jingyang's body, but it also healed his injuries instantly.
This was the power of the contract. Of course, the price was that Jiang Chen's strength was rapidly draining.
This was a one-to-one equivalent exchange, but not everyone could use this contract.
After all, no one wanted to put their life in the hands of others. Even husband and wife rarely used this kind of contract.
Besides one's own life, there was another reason, which was that this contract was very rare.
No one knew how Zhang Jingyang got it. He actually had such a contract.
"Everything is decided by the heavens. The contract you took out is harming yourself."
Jiang Chen sneered. With a flick of his finger, the Soul Devouring Insect instantly burrowed into Zhang Jingyang's body.
Ah!!!
A miserable cry pierced through the sky.
Unfortunately, no one knew what happened here.
Although Tian Yuyin was shocked by Jiang Chen's strength, he couldn't control his desire for the Blade of Destiny.
Therefore, after thinking for a while, he took out all his assets and used his position in the Thousand Treasure Pavilion to issue a death order in the underworld.
"Jiang Chen, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost!!!"
Following Zhang Jingyang's last scream, his soul was completely eaten by the Soul Devouring Insect.
"Is he dead or alive??"
Looking at Zhang Jingyang, who was kneeling on the ground, Jiang Chen looked at He Li.
"Of course he's alive. No matter who checks, he's still Zhang Jingyang."
He Li's expression wasn't very good. Although she didn't like Zhang Jingyang, she disliked the Soul Devouring Insect even more.
"But why does he look so dazed?"
After carefully observing Zhang Jingyang, Jiang Chen tilted his head.
"This is the terrifying part of the Soul Devouring Insect."
He Li sighed. "As long as you're willing, his soul can immediately return to his body from the Soul Devouring Insect."
"But now, it's the same whether he has a soul or not. After all, the Soul Devouring Insect will control his body. In other words, Zhang Jingyang is still in his body."
Even Jiang Chen himself was stunned for quite a while after hearing He Li's words.
This was even scarier than possession or soul control.
In fact, Jiang Chen's mind had already entered the Soul Devouring Insect's body when he heard He Li's words.
Just as He Li had said, there were three more souls in the array formation.
However, only one of the arrays was functioning normally. Although the other two arrays had souls in them, they were dead arrays.
Dead arrays could only be fixed. They even needed Jiang Chen to control them.
Living arrays were different. They could operate on their own and even have thousands of changes.
Of course, other than what He Li said, Jiang Chen found that there were more secrets in the Soul Devouring Insect.
"Since that's the case, I'll take them with me."
There were many arrays in the Soul Devouring Insect. Although Xu Zhangzhong was only in the Genuine Qi realm, he met the requirements of the Soul Devouring Insect.
The Soul Devouring Insect wouldn't eat souls that weren't in the Connate realm.
This was the lowest requirement of the Soul Devouring Insect.
"Please don't kill me. My father told me to provoke you. It's not my fault!"
Xu Zhangzhong knelt in front of Jiang Chen. However, he was kowtowing desperately. He no longer had the arrogance from before.
Jiang Chen, who was behind Jiang Chen, was extremely excited when he saw this scene. At the same time, he clenched his fists. He secretly swore that he would repay Jiang Chen for saving his life.
"Hehe, it's too late to plead now."
After the black gas devoured the three Spirit Qi masters, it became as fine as a finger.
Since the Soul Devouring Insect liked to devour souls, Jiang Chen did not mind making these scum never reincarnate.
The key was that he could control them like puppets. If he brought them back to the Jiang family, he would have an armed force.
"No, don't kill me. I have a secret in exchange for my life."
Xu Zhangzhong hurriedly shouted, "This information is related to the secret of my father becoming a Grandmaster. As long as you are willing to let me go, I will tell you this information."
Although he did not know what the black gas was, if even Zhang Jingyang could not resist being afraid of it, there was no need to talk about him.
Therefore, Xu Zhangzhong revealed his biggest bargaining chip in hopes that Jiang Chen would let him go.
After all, as long as he could return to the Clear River Sect, he would be happy even if he never left.
"In that case, all the more reason to let the Soul Devouring Insect devour you."
If you have a secret, I don't know if you will tell the truth. I might as well let the Soul Devouring Insect devour you. Your secret will no longer be a secret.
Jiang Chen, who could not be bothered to talk nonsense with Xu Zhangzhong, directly let the Soul Devouring Insect enter his body.
"How sad. If he didn't covet her body, he might have caused his father's death."
"That is indeed the case. This Xu Zhangzhong has always relied on his Clear River Sect's power to bully others. Now, he has kicked an iron plate. Not only is his father dead, but he has also implicated so many others. Now, even he has to die."
"This young man is going on a killing spree. Why do I feel so happy?"
"That's right. Half of the three malignant tumors in the Clear Sun City have been dealt with."
"What about the other half?"
"At the very least, they won't jump out in the next few years!"
"In that case, our Clear Sun City will be peaceful for the next few decades!"
"Peaceful??? Aren't you guys too naive? "
At that moment, everyone looked at the voice that did not fit in.
"Now that the demons are running rampant, who will protect us without them?!"
"Moreover, without the Clear River Sect, there won't be a Clear Bull or Clear Dog Sect?"
Hearing his voice, everyone present could not help but fall silent.
This was the helplessness of being born in a chaotic world. Even if the so-called evil person in their eyes died, there would be someone even more evil.
"Earth Core Flame!"
After checking Xu Zhangzhong's memory, Jiang Chen could not help but laugh.
He had just obtained the Earth Element, Lightning Element, and Wind Element. He did not expect to find another source of power in such a short time.
"This luck … really!!"
After hearing Jiang Chen's words, He Li fell into deep thought.
"He Li, let's go."
Glancing at the people around them, Jiang Chen urged He Li to leave this place.
"Where are we going?"
Seeing Jiang Chen and the newly acquired Soul-Devouring Puppets go their separate ways, He Li could not help but be curious.
"I'll let them go back to the Jiang family to be guards."
Jiang Chen looked into the distance and said, "As for us, we're going to get the Earth Core Flame."
"Where are we going to get it???"
When He Li heard about the flame, she could not help but have goosebumps.
"You hate fire???"
Seeing He Li's reaction, Jiang Chen could not help but ask hurriedly, "Why don't you go back to the Jiang family first??"
"No need, this is just my instinctive reaction."
He Li shook her head. She really did not care about ordinary flames, but the Dragon Subduing Flame was still fresh in her memory.
"Bei Yang Mountain, that's the old site of the Qingyang Sect."
Jiang Chen took out the Tianyuan Treasure Mirror and said, "But we need this thing to find it."
After killing Xu Wanqing and Cao Shuran, their treasures were naturally in Jiang Chen's hands.
Although he had borrowed four mouth-grade spirit stones from Cao Shuran, it was not a loss to take back the round light mirror.
Moreover, the Tianyuan Treasure Mirror was obtained by accident, and now it had such a wonderful use. This made Jiang Chen feel that Xu Wanqing was his lucky star.
"So that's how it is. No wonder Xu Wanqing tried so hard to kill you. It was because of the Earth Core Flame."
In this instant, He Li completely understood the ins and outs of the matter.
Of course, she did not have the slightest sympathy for Xu Wanqing.
After all, a pitiful person must have a hateful side. If he had not targeted Jiang Chen, he would not have been killed by Jiang Chen.
Therefore, he brought all of this upon himself.
"Humph, if it weren't for him, I don't know when I would be able to obtain origin energy again."
"Therefore, I have to thank the father and son. They are really my lucky stars."
When he thought about how he would soon gather six types of Eight Desolate Qi, Jiang Chen could not help but feel even more excited.
