Rebellious Contract Beast

Seeing that they had a place to stay in Jiangzhou City, Wu Gong and the other three sitting around the wine table all had happy smiles on their faces. They drank cup after cup of wine, and the atmosphere was very cheerful.

After drinking for thirty minutes, Wu Gong suddenly remembered something, and looked at Shen Yi, asking nervously: "Hey Xuanli, you know, I, Wu Gong, came from Black Snake Town. To be honest, I don't know much about the rules of the underworld. Can you tell me about it?"

"You are just..."

"Ok?"

"You're asking the wrong person!"

"Uh……"

"To be honest, I don't know much, but if you're just worried about getting into trouble, don't worry. You know the four major families in Jiangzhou City, right?"

"I know, the Zhu family, the Xu family. I heard someone say yesterday that there seems to be another Chen family. I don't know who the last one is."

"Well, Chen, Zhu, Luo, and Xu, these are the four. Actually, you can rest assured. Two of these four families are protecting the Tiger Gang. As long as you do not do anything excessive, the Zhu family will help you clean up the mess. If the Zhu family cannot clean up the mess, the Chen family can still do it."

"What? Are the Zhu and Chen families so kind?"

"Alas, the Tiger Gang is the power of the Zhu family after all. As for the Chen family... they are only doing this for the sake of the old witch."

"why?"

"Her identity as an alchemist has been discovered by the Chen family, and they are rushing to please her."

"Oh, that's it!" Wu Gong nodded in understanding, and then became excited again.

Becoming the leader of a big gang, managing hundreds of subordinates, is countless times more comfortable than a life of exile and robbery.

"When will I be allowed to join the Tiger Gang?"

"Tomorrow will be fine."

"So fast?"

"That Zhu Qingtian has been killing people from the Tiger Gang everywhere during this period. You have to teach him a lesson quickly, otherwise people's hearts will be dispersed after a long time. Also, Wu Gong, you can't act like the boss in Jiangzhou City like before. People in the world always have to bow their heads. A real man can bend and stretch. When you meet someone you can't afford to offend, just be soft-hearted. You are not alone. Don't hurt me and the old witch. In short, be careful."

"I, Wu Gong, have been in the martial arts world for so many years, how could I not know these things...Xuan Li, I will listen to you!"

"Well, just do as I say tomorrow."

"Sure! Hahahaha! Come on! Another drink!"

"Master Gong is mighty!"

Later, Shen Yi told Wu Gong some more things about the Tiger Gang, and the dinner was over.

And Shen Yi also breathed a sigh of relief.

As for whether Wu Gong, as the leader of the Tiger Gang, can manage the entire Tiger Gang, there is no need to worry about it.

You have to know that before the fall of Black Snake Town, Wu Gong had considerable power inside, and he certainly had management capabilities. The only difference was that Wu Gong's power in Black Snake Town was elite. Although there were only a hundred people, all of them could fight. The leader of the Tiger Gang could fight more than one person, but there were thousands of gang members, and naturally there were quite a few small villains among them.

……

The sky gradually darkened. Inside the room, Shen Yi was humming a little tune while playing with the gold in his hand. He Jian Chuyun couldn't help but smile when he saw this and said, "So happy? Everything is settled, huh."

"That's~"

"All the tigers will be handed over to Wu Gong. Will you not go to Shen's Mansion in the future?"

"Of course not!"

"Then what do you do?"

"I've moved behind the scenes. It's time to let the world feel the horror of capital."

"What is capital? I've always heard you mention this word before, but I've never seen you explain it."

"Capital is... never mind. You may not understand even if I tell you. Anyway, it is a very evil thing, a system that can corrupt anyone who approaches it. It was very scary in my time, but it may not be the case now. However, capital can bind the interests of many people tightly to us."

Shen Yi's explanation was very vague, but there was no way around it. Although everyone said that capital was evil and powerful, that was in a world where everyone was an ordinary person. On Earth, once capital developed to a certain extent, it could even manipulate and control a person's life. The laws and order that were sacred and inviolable to ordinary people were often capital's most powerful armed protection.

But if capital is placed in a world with extraordinary power, what can we say... It may be difficult to bring out the full capacity of capital. After all, there are too many people whose personal strength is strong enough to ignore order and trample on the law. Once you piss off such people, everything you have worked so hard to build will be torn apart and destroyed by them in an instant.

Shen Yi naturally knew this, so he just used capitalism as his tool, using a certain characteristic of capital to build a safe environment for himself to develop.

When I am invincible, my life will be in my own hands and I will overturn the world with my feet!

Without saying all this, Shen Yi is now very much looking forward to what will happen next. Zhu Qingtian has been in the martial arts world for many years and is a ruthless man, but Wu Gong is also a ruthless man. When the two meet on a narrow road, who will be the brave one?

"Oh, it's up to you. Okay, stop playing. It's getting late. It's time to go to bed."

"You won't call me Master anymore?"

"Master, it's time to go to bed!" He Jian Chuyun called out sweetly. Shen Yi smiled, put away the big gold brick and pulled the old witch over. Then he hugged her soft and fragrant body, and pushed his head into her arms twice, taking a deep breath of the clean body fragrance, and finally closed his eyes comfortably.

"Hey, old witch..."

"What are you doing? It's time to go to bed!"

"I want to touch your legs..."

"Just loosen up a bit and I'll give it to you."

Smelling the fragrance of the girl, his claws touching her legs dishonestly, and feeling the delicate texture of her skin through the fabric, Shen Yi soon fell drowsy.

He Jian Chu Yun gritted his teeth and endured it, but still patted the other person's head gently, coaxing him to fall asleep quickly. It was obvious that he had other purposes.

Sure enough, after Shen Yi fell asleep completely, He Jian Chuyun's eyes, which were originally closed, suddenly opened, and he struggled to free his claws and broke free from the other's embrace.

"Good weight!"

After complaining and pressing his forehead hard with his fingers, He Jian Hatsuyun shook his head, stood up, tiptoed to open the door and left the room.

The sky was full of bright stars and dark clouds. The cold moonlight cast a layer of silver light on the ground. The girl walked lightly into the pavilion standing on the pond like a fairy in the moonlight.

I saw her sitting on a stone chair, her eyes reflecting the starry sky, and no one knew what she was thinking about. Maybe she had encountered something upsetting.

But obviously not. As time passed, she soon narrowed her eyes and sat cross-legged naturally. Her posture was as straight as a pine tree, and her breathing became even and deep, which was very mysterious, as if she had merged with the surrounding nature.

A breeze blew, creating ripples on the water. A pulling force suddenly appeared around the girl, and the surrounding spiritual energy quickly gathered around her. Soon, the entire backyard was shrouded in a light mist.

The cicadas' chirping became louder, the lotus leaves and flowers swayed gently in the mist, the air was filled with the faint fragrance of flowers, mixed with the freshness of grass and trees, quiet and profound. The girl was far away from the noise and bustle of the world; she was the only one here, and yet she was part of this scenery.

She didn't know how much time had passed before the fog around her dissipated. She opened her eyes, but her eyes were full of confusion.

“How could this be…” He Jianchuyun had obviously encountered some difficulties and looked puzzled.

A few days ago, after she broke through the Jingjie Shenwen stage, she immediately drew her senses inward to observe the altar in preparation for the next exorcism stage.

But after seeing the scene inside the altar, she was completely stunned.

She almost didn't find the epidemic that was most harmful to the psychics. It's not that it wasn't there at all, but it was so little that it could be described as "pitiful". There were only a few strands floating in the altar, and if you didn't look carefully, you probably wouldn't be able to see it.

She thought that there might be very little epidemic energy in her altar, but she didn't expect it to be so little.

Let me put it this way, when her cultivation was still at the positive stage of Shenwen, the plague energy in the altar was thousands of times more than it is now.

As the cultivation level of the spiritual master becomes higher and higher, the epidemic energy in the altar will only increase, not decrease. However, she did the exact opposite. The more she practiced, the less epidemic energy there was. This went against common sense.

Of course, it might be that his realm was unstable. After all, he had just broken through to the Pure Stage of Shenwen not long ago, and had not yet adapted to the state of inner perception.

Many people have similar experiences when they break through to the Shenwen stage. They have just broken through and their cultivation has not yet been consolidated, so their senses cannot completely penetrate the divine platform, and naturally they cannot see clearly what is happening inside the divine platform.

At that time, He Jian Chu Yun thought of waiting for a few days and observing the altar after his realm was stabilized.

But now that my realm has been stabilized, the situation has become "worse"!

The reason was very simple. A few days ago, when she had just broken through to the Jingjie Shenwen stage, she could still find a trace of the plague in the altar. Although it was small, it was still found. But now, there was no trace of the plague inside the altar. It was so clean that it made people feel uneasy.

Let’s put it this way, it’s like no one can be sure that their body is completely clean and does not have even a single bacteria?

This is obviously impossible. Similarly, He Jianchuyun also does not believe that there is no plague in his altar.

Perhaps, it was because of myself that something went wrong during the listening process, so I was unable to find the source of the epidemic in the altar.

This kind of situation may also happen to other people, but the problem is that those who encounter this situation are generally those who have low talent for cultivation and extremely poor comprehension. It takes them more than ten or even twenty years to even cultivate from the direct level to the regular level.

But Tsurumi Hatsuun is obviously not that kind of person, and the words "low talent" have nothing to do with her.

If she really had a low talent for cultivation, then she would not have been able to observe the epidemic energy in the altar at the beginning, even just a little bit.

This is so weird.

Maybe, there is really no epidemic in her altar...?

Thinking of this possibility, she was shocked and very uncertain, but at the same time, a very bold idea emerged in her mind.

Do you want to try to break through and directly enter the exorcism stage?
Her heart began to tremble. There were tens of thousands of practitioners in the world, but no one had ever done this before.

How long had it been since I broke through to the Pure Stage? It had only been a few days, and I was already trying to break through to the Purification Stage?
She didn't know what the consequences of doing so would be, but the Shenwen stage itself was a stage for practitioners to detect the epidemic energy in the Shentai. If there was no epidemic energy in the Shentai, was there any need to continue Shenwen?
Thinking of this, He Jian Chu Yun gritted his teeth and made a decision in his heart.

Just give it a try. If it doesn’t work, then give up and take your time.

I have plenty of time, no rush.

But if it becomes...

She didn't know why, but she had a strong feeling that she would succeed...

Taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes again, adjusted her breathing rhythm, and quickly returned to her previous state of practice.

The thin spiritual energy around was drawn over by her again, and Mingyan Courtyard was once again shrouded in a faint mist.

In the space of consciousness, the Qi Sea that had settled at the bottom of the third-stage divine platform suddenly began to surge, just like boiling water, surging and jumping, trying to touch the dome of the third-stage divine platform.

The abnormality of the altar also quickly affected her body, and everything from top to bottom was connected together. A powerful force erupted from the depths of her dantian, and an invisible torrent rushed wildly through the meridians in her body.

The air around her body seemed to have solidified, with only a faint breeze gently brushing across the surface of her skin.

After a while, the girl frowned slightly. It was unknown what had happened to her. A hint of pain appeared on her face, but it was soon replaced by a determined look.

The pulling force became stronger and stronger, and the spiritual energy from both far and near rushed towards her frantically, making the fog in the yard thicker. All the pores on her body opened, greedily absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy, taking it for herself, allowing it to flow in her body, breaking through blocked acupuncture points and widening the originally narrow meridians.

Her body began to emit a faint light, which matched the bright moon in the sky.

At the same time, in Qingshuisongyuan and several other courtyards deep in the Zhu family mansion, several top warriors of the Zhu family opened their eyes.

The door was opened, and Zhu Jianqing looked far away in the direction of Mingyan Courtyard with a thoughtful look on his face.

Soon, Zuo Po walked out from the side, also looking in the same direction, and said in a deep voice: "Master, it's Mingyan Courtyard, not the Tianjiao of my Zhu family."

"Of course I know that." Zhu Jianqing said expressionlessly, and his tone was devoid of any emotion, as if he had expected it.

Not long after, he just shook his head and waved his hand, saying, "Go back."

"Isn't the master curious?"

"From the first day I saw Tsurumi Hatsugumo, I knew that this girl would not be simple."

"Why?"

"The entire Tsurumi family was massacred, but she was the only one who escaped. I think Tsurumi Matsu spent a lot of time and effort on her. In addition, the Zhao family also cared about her."

"I understand."

"Go back to your room and rest. There's nothing to see."

"Yes, master."

"..."

After another stick of incense, the fog covering Mingyan Courtyard gradually dissipated. He Jianchuyun opened his eyes. There was a depth in his eyes, with occasional flashes of inspiration, which was stunning in an instant.

Just by opening and closing her eyes, the whole world became more clear to her, and she could observe every blade of grass and every tree around her in great detail.

"Did... did it succeed?" After sitting in the original posture for a while, He Jianchuyun finally made a move. She raised her hand to wipe the dense beads of sweat on her forehead, but she was stunned the next second.

After breaking through the Shenwen stage, the Qi sea that had settled at the bottom of the third-level divine platform did disperse, but it was not arranged neatly and regularly as she had imagined. Instead, it formed a cyclone that continuously impacted the dome of the third-level divine platform, trying to open up a fourth-level divine platform.

"This..." Feeling something was wrong, she quickly spread out her palms and released her spiritual power, forming a sword energy on her fair palms. This sword energy was incomparably pure, and was many times more condensed than the sword energy she had condensed before.

After breaking through the Shenwen stage, her strength increased horribly. This was not the increase that should be seen from the Shenwen stage to the Fuyi stage!

There was no trace of epidemic energy on the divine platform. After breaking through to the stage of exorcism, it actually skipped the stage of exorcism and directly entered the stage of breaking through the barrier of the purification stage...

"Ah? I...Xuan, Xuanli! Xuanli!"
