After saying that, Li Jingyun stopped talking.

He was also seriously injured and needed to find a place to treat his injuries as soon as possible.

Li Jingyun made a phone call. When the call connected, a very hoarse voice came from the other end: "Calling me at this hour, you better have something really important to say, otherwise, I'll definitely kill you, you bastard!"

Li Jingyun coughed, covering his mouth, a trickle of blood seeping from between his fingers. He coughed as he spoke, "I'm seriously injured, and I'm currently..."

He gave the other party his address in detail, asking them to pick him up within fifteen minutes and bring the necessary emergency medications.

The two souls trapped in the dantian space heard the conversation clearly.

Zhang Hao looked at the man and reminded him, "Your arm has started to melt. How do you feel?"

The man in the black leather jacket looked down at his arm. As a soul entity, normally only extremely strong yin and yang energies could corrupt it.

Moreover, during the process of being corrupted, the soul should also feel pain, but now, he feels nothing at all.

His gaze gradually became somewhat unfocused, then he looked up at Zhang Hao: "My feeling is that I feel nothing. Being trapped here should gradually melt me, turning me into Yin energy that the other side can absorb. I started melting not long after I arrived here. You've been here longer than me, so why are you alright?"

Zhang Hao smiled and explained the other person's doubts: "Of course, it's because my soul is stronger than yours, and I also have a special secret technique to protect my soul. I can teach you this technique, are you interested in learning it?"

The man in the black leather jacket looked up and said without hesitation, "I'm interested!"

Faced with the threat of death, no one can withstand the torment of impending doom.

Zhang Hao met his eyes and suddenly said, "You're interested, but what price are you willing to pay? I never do anything that doesn't benefit me."

Even if I manage to help this guy keep his soul alive, he'll probably turn around and scheme against me in the end. It's better to be upfront from the beginning; maybe I can even bring him to my side as an ally.

If all else fails, I can work as a gofer or odd-job man.

However, the other party clearly didn't think that way. After thinking carefully, he offered to help analyze the current situation. "Right now, it's just the two of us trapped in the other's dantian space. If you want to deal with him, then spare my life, and I can help you in some way. We're not enemies now; as friends on the same side, helping me is the same as helping yourself."

Zhang Hao raised an eyebrow slightly, indicating that what the other party said made sense, but he still did not agree.

The man in the black leather jacket continued, "Besides, if you help me, we can find a way to escape together. Also, if you really save me, it's like I owe you a life, and I'll agree to whatever you ask."

Zhang Hao finally became interested after hearing the last sentence, and gently touched his arm.

The soul's arm, which was melting and dripping water like ice cream, suddenly stopped melting.

The melting sensation in his arm finally subsided, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but his respect for the person before him grew even stronger. To interrupt the melting process so easily, this guy was no ordinary individual. However, judging from the man's appearance, he hadn't seen this face among the recently publicly acknowledged signatories. Could he be a hidden master? There seemed to be no other explanation. If he truly was a hidden master, then this person was truly unfathomable.

"I saved you. How about you become my slave from now on?"

The man in the black leather jacket's expression changed slightly, but he quickly suppressed his displeasure and said calmly, "Fine. In the face of survival, so-called freedom and dignity are utterly worthless."

Zhang Hao couldn't help but applaud, saying, "What you said is so realistic! I like realistic people like that." With that, Zhang Hao extended his index finger and drew a strange contract in the air, the contents of which began to appear: a contract for selling oneself into slavery. Zhang Hao calmly showed him the contract terms and then had him sign it.

"As long as you sign this contract, I can guarantee you won't be killed here and will even save your life." Zhang Hao's calm demeanor made the man grit his teeth, but in the end, the man gritted his teeth and signed the contract.

After the signing was completed, the man showed obvious surprise. Zhang Hao immediately noticed that something was wrong with the man's expression, so he asked calmly, "You seem very surprised. What? Someone who signed a contract to sell himself into slavery, do you not think it's a big deal?" What gave him the confidence to be so nonchalant? Zhang Hao guessed that this guy had some kind of confidence to defy the terms of the contract without being punished.

However, the other party's answer surprised him slightly. "Because according to my deduction, we have already signed a contract with the gods, and our souls and bodies belong to the gods. Only we, the contractors of the gods, have the right to kill and control each other. From your actions of making me sign a contract and sell myself to you as a slave, I guess you are not a new type of celestial master who has signed a contract with the gods, but rather one of the old-fashioned celestial masters who cultivate themselves. Someone of your status could not possibly contract with us new-type celestial masters."

Zhang Hao was somewhat surprised by the concept uttered in the other person's words: "So you mean that people like you who gain power by making a pact with the gods are called new-type Celestial Masters, while those who cultivate alone in the old school are called old-type Celestial Masters? Why do you make this distinction?"

The other party was clearly a seasoned veteran, and it was evident from his words that Zhang Hao was unfamiliar with the matter of signing a document. He calmed himself down and said, "Because we have gained more powerful energy, and we will eventually dominate the Three Realms. The new Celestial Masters are the future, while the old Celestial Masters are merely outdated relics abandoned by the times. We will be more aligned with our own kind, and as for the old faction, they have always been our prey."

Zhang Hao's expression changed upon hearing this. "So, you're deliberately hunting those Celestial Masters?" If that's true, then we really need to notify all the Celestial Masters in the circle as soon as possible, and also inform the Underworld to take protective measures; otherwise, the very foundation of stability maintenance in the Three Realms might be shattered.
