"Sign a soul contract?"
When Sheji and Fengming heard Yi Yun's conditions, they felt bitter in their hearts. Back then, they had forced many Heavenly Dao Union members to sign a soul contract, but they never expected that there would be a day when they themselves had to sign a soul contract.
And when Yi Yun handed out the soul contract, Sheji and Fengming's faces turned pale. This contract was too domineering.
Originally, the soul contract signed by the Heavenly Dao Union members only required them to not attack the Martial Alliance, nor to defy the orders issued by the upper echelons of the Martial Alliance. As for these orders, there were some restrictions. At the very least, they could not be orders that led to death.
By signing such a contract, although there were invisible restrictions, it was still acceptable.
However, the contract Yi Yun signed for Sheji and Fengming could be said to be a master-servant contract.
Back when Yi Yun was in the Great Empress mystic realm, he had obtained a large amount of the Azure Yang Lord's heritage. In the second level of the God Advent Tower, there were many miscellaneous books from the 12 Empyrean Heavens.
There were all sorts of manuals, cultivation techniques, movement techniques, arrays, alchemy techniques and Desolate Heaven Master techniques.
The "Star Transference Heaven Changing Book" that Yi Yun used to disguise himself came from there.
And the soul contract that Yi Yun chose this time also came from the second level of the God Advent Tower.
As the Azure Yang Lord's collection, this soul contract was naturally not easy to break. Once it was signed, the contract would control Sheji and Fengming's thoughts, preventing them from harming Yi Yun. If not, Yi Yun would immediately know of it, making them pay a terrible price.
And they could not defy Yi Yun's orders. Even if they were to die, they could not refuse.
Such a domineering contract made Sheji's body tremble. Once it was signed, she would become Yi Yun's female slave.
"I … I …"
Sheji did not wish to sign it at all. As a warrior, she had her own pride in her heart. However, she was indignant to die in the Soul Tomb that never saw the light of day. This made her sink into a painful internal struggle.
Yi Yun did not dissuade Sheji and Fengming's reactions. He said, "There is only one chance. I will give you twenty seconds to consider. After that, you can choose to sign the contract or die. To me, all of you are of little value and not very important, so I don't want to waste my breath. "
"I just don't like being betrayed. As for you thinking that I'm going to use this contract to do something to you that will make you wish you were dead, you're thinking too much. You're not worth my effort."
"In the future, when my strength increases to another level, when your strength is negligible, I will naturally not keep you around anymore. I can restore your freedom, but the decision is yours. Besides, ten breaths have already passed!"
Yi Yun spoke very quickly, causing Sheji and Fengming's hearts to palpitate.
Such an important decision only had thirty seconds to consider. Furthermore, Yi Yun used half that time to speak.
Indeed, to Yi Yun, there was no need to be too conflicted over whether to kill them or not. Yi Yun only gave them thirty seconds. Any more than that would be a waste of time. It was not worth it.
As for the words that Yi Yun said towards the end, Sheji and Fengming were even more speechless. According to the speed at which Yi Yun's strength was increasing, it was not far for the two of them to reach the point where their strength was "negligible".
Finally, under the pressure of death, Sheji and Fengming obediently signed the soul contract.
At this moment, the entire valley trembled even more violently. Large amounts of rubble rolled down the mountain.
"What's the matter?"
Lin Xintong asked. The Human and Desolate race warriors present were also somewhat alarmed.
Yi Yun sensed the surging Yin specter Qi around him and said, "This slumbering ground of the Yin specter is the center of the entire Soul Tomb. Blood Moon has set up a large array in the Soul Tomb, and this slumbering ground is the array's core. Just now, when I destroyed the Yin specters, I also destroyed the array's core, causing large amounts of Yin Qi to leak out, causing a change in the Soul Tomb's Heaven Earth Yuan Qi. I have to leave quickly, or the situation would be bad if I were to alarm the sleeping servants and corpse kings."
For the Blackstone Trials, they had chosen the time when the Yin Qi was the weakest in the Soul Tomb, when the corpse kings were in slumber. Now, with the change in the Yin Qi's density, the sleeping corpse kings might wake up.
"Let's go!"
Yi Yun waved his hand. At this moment, many of the Human race warriors had yet to recover. Their soul seas had been possessed by the Yin specters, so all of them were in a daze. Their souls were injured and they were extremely weak.
An injury to the physical body was still bearable for a martial artist. However, an injury to the soul was an immense pain.
Now, they had to flee without even catching their breaths or taking pills. This was a form of torture for these men and women who came from large family clans.
However, at this moment, no one dared to grumble. They knew very well that if they said another word of nonsense, they would be mercilessly abandoned by Yi Yun.
If they could not overcome their injuries and could not keep up with Yi Yun, they would also be abandoned.
Thinking of their past conflicts with Yi Yun, it was already pretty good that Yi Yun did not kick them while they were down, so who dared to grumble?
And at this moment, Yi Yun suddenly heard a weak voice, "Bring … Bring me along … Don't leave me here … I …"
The voice was somewhat familiar. Yi Yun turned his head and saw a soul fire slowly float out from a large Soul Cocoon.
Yi Yun recognized it. It was Gongsun Hong's soul.
After Yi Yun slew Gongsun Hong's body, his soul had been extracted and preserved by Zhulong. Zhulong had originally planned on using Gongsun Hong's soul to refine into a Yin specter, but due to the Life Slip shattering, he changed his mind and used Gongsun Hong's soul as soul food to feed the Yin specter.
Now, a portion of Gongsun Hong's soul had been devoured by the Yin specter, but it had not completely dissipated. This surprised Yi Yun.
He had probably managed to hold on until now because of his indignation. Unfortunately, Gongsun Hong, who was left with an incomplete soul, could not be saved even by a deity. If he had a complete soul, he could still be refined into a Yin specter, but now, he could not even be a Yin specter.
A martial arts genius who had obtained first place at the Li Fire Sect's martial meet should have had a bright future. He should have had a lifespan of tens of thousands of years, and a high position of power. He would have many wives and concubines, but because of his ambition and his greed to climb up, he had ended up in such a state …
This was truly a form of sorrow.
"Let's go!"
Yi Yun no longer looked at Gongsun Hong as he gave the order.
At this moment, the spatial hole blasted open by the God Advent Tower was still there. A group of people followed Yi Yun as they rushed out of the Soul Tomb.
For people like Wei Chiwei and the Chu sisters, who were friends with Yi Yun, Yi Yun had specially instructed a few Desolate race warriors to take care of them.
As for the others, they could only pray for their own luck.
In the process of leaving the Soul Tomb, they would also encounter all sorts of dangers, such as sneak attacks from the Yin souls. They were obviously not afraid when they were in peak condition, but now … they could only blame their bad luck if they died.
In the Soul Tomb, the paths were like a maze. Yi Yun used the memories in his mind to lead a large group of people to charge left and right.
There were even times when he would slash out with his sword to open up a path.
Yi Yun walked in front. He was like the tip of a sword, unstoppable. Any Yin soul or specter that landed in front of Yi Yun would be reduced to ashes with one strike.
Most of the ghosts were dealt with by Yi Yun, which greatly reduced the pressure on the people behind him. If not, the Heavenly Blood Union would probably suffer heavy casualties with the weak and sick.
In this manner, Yi Yun led the group for four hours. With his final slash, he split open a spatial barrier that was not considered strong. A ray of sunlight shot out from the crack in the spatial barrier, landing on everyone's faces.
Although it was a weak ray of sunlight, it was no doubt the warm sunlight of the outside world.
Many people even had the urge to tear up at this moment.
They had finally come out!
The group of people rushed out of the spatial barrier. Touching the rough stone walls of the outside world, and basking in the dim but warm sunlight in the gray sky, many people felt a long-awaited feeling surge in their hearts, even though they were in the extremely desolate lands of the far north.
The trip to the Soul Tomb was too stifling and painful. They nearly believed that they would be buried in that land of death. Even when they saw the outside world, they still found it unreal, as though they had been reincarnated.
They had finally survived …
Many of their companions had become skeletons in the Soul Tomb.
The Blackstone Trials did not have any opportunities or rewards. There was no ladder to climb up. There were only traps and death. The reason why they survived was not because they were strong, but because they were lucky. Those who lacked luck, along with their ambitions, had already turned into the dust of the Soul Tomb … (To be continued.)
