Rebellious Contract Beast

Shen Yi had just learned the skill of spitting fireballs not long ago, about two months ago.

Compared to the normal dragon breath, the fireball move has a longer striking distance and can hit the target more accurately.

Look, it’s being used now?
In mid-air, the assassin who had just escaped from the Tianyin Wanling Explosion no longer had any extra strength left. Facing the fireball flying from behind, the only way he could dodge was to give up, gather his spiritual power, and let himself fall freely, quickly falling towards the ground.

The huge fireball almost brushed past his scalp. Just a touch and his hair and clothes were instantly ignited by the dragon flame, turning him into a burning fireman in mid-air.

After falling to the ground, he lay on the ground unrecognizable as a human being, accompanied by a few terrifying bone-breaking sounds.

When the flames burned his clothes, his body became charred black, the burnt flesh burst open, revealing the bright red muscle tissue inside, and a disgusting smell of barbecue emanated from his whole body.

It was not known how long had passed, but he seemed to have regained some consciousness and finally remembered his current situation. He struggled to get up and continue to avoid being chased.

But when he looked up, his eyes met Shen Yi's.

"Oh, you've run out of tricks?"

"you……"

The assassin wanted to say something, but he had no strength left. At this time, the guards and servants of the Zhu family also arrived. Shen Yi interrupted what he was about to say, stepped on him, and faced the Zhu family members who had arrived.

"What did you find! The intruder is right here!"

"Whose contracted beast is this?"

"I do not know."

"It belongs to Mingyanyuan Tsurumi Hatsuyun. I've seen it before."

"The intruder is right at its feet."

"Looks like this... I'm afraid he's dead."

"Hey! Your name is Xuan Li, right? You can go now. We can leave this person to us. There is no need for you to get involved."

Some of the Zhu family's followers began to signal Shen Yi to move aside, but Shen Yi ignored them and continued to step on the assassin's body without any reaction.

After waiting for a while, Tsurumi Hatsuyun came over with the help of two maids. These two maids were Tsurumi Yanqiu's people, and the people present did not stop them.

Soon, one of the maids came forward and said to everyone, "This man is the assassin who killed Miss Chuyun. Miss has something to ask now. You have nothing to do here. Please disperse."

Hearing this, people couldn't help but look at each other, and then a guest stepped forward and asked, "Since he is an assassin, should we tell the Second Elder about this?"

"Just go and tell the Second Elder. No one is needed. We will take care of this assassin."

"Yes." No one objected. They just glanced at the assassin and scattered. After that, He Jianchuyun chatted with the two maids for a few words, then walked to Shen Yi and asked him in a low voice: "How is the person?"

"He's still alive, how about you?"

"I'm fine, as long as they catch me."

Shen Yi looked at her shoulder and saw that the wound had been bandaged.

"What hurt you? I didn't see it clearly just now."

"It should be a hidden weapon or something. Okay, I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me."

"Oh~" Shen Yi nodded, raised his claws and looked at the assassin who was stepped on the ground, but the next second he and He Jianchuyun were stunned.

"Uh... Is this what you mean by still alive?"

"Fuck!"

At this time, the assassin was already dead. When they opened his mouth, they found that he had committed suicide by swallowing poison at some point.

This was something Shen Yi had not expected. He had lived in peace for such a long time that he had forgotten about the assassins who stuffed poison into his mouth.

There are very few people like this, and Shen Yi admires them very much. They die as soon as they say they will, without any hesitation.

"Shh~ Keep your voice down. It will be bad if others know you can talk."

"I know." Shen Yi looked left and right, and seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he quickly pulled the storage bag off the assassin.

"Old witch, you have to detain this man and then take the time to unlock his storage bag. There should be something in it that can tell us who this guy is."

"Ok, I know."

Later, He Jianchuyun wanted to order people to carry the assassin's body into Mingyanyuan, but this incident alarmed many people. As soon as the first group of people left, the next group of people rushed over.

The fireball spit out by Shen Yi hit the air and exploded on the ground, directly razing a large area of ​​houses to the ground. God knows how many people died. The scorching temperature and brightness even disturbed several ancestors deep in the Zhu Mansion.

So not long after, an old man in plain clothes and with white hair was seen walking towards this side with a large group of people. The people around him were all influential figures in the Zhu family. Seeing this, the maid sent by He Jianyanqiu hurriedly went to greet them.

"Old, old man, why are you here?"

"Well, let me take a look." The old man in plain clothes did not pay much attention to the two maids. His eyes swept across the mess around him, and his attention quickly fell on Shen Yi.

When Shen Yi was chasing the assassin, he could sense the aura on his body from a long distance. When the contracted beast grows to this point, the cultivation level of its master will only be more terrifying.

But what puzzled him was that he had never seen or heard of Shen Yi's contracted beast. It looked quite strange, and he had not seen any descendant of the Zhu family who had contracted such a god of life.

"Whose fate god is this?"

"Replying to the ancestor, the fate god is called Xuanli, and is the contracted beast of my wife's niece."

"The niece of Tsurumi Yanqiu..." The old man's eyes had already turned to Tsurumi Hatsuun, and he had obviously guessed her identity, but he still asked the maid, "Who is she?"

"Ancestor, she was just injured. I will go and invite her over now." As she said that, one of the maids turned and walked towards He Jian Chu Yun, helping her walk over here while winking at her frantically.

He Jian Chu Yun also reacted quickly. She came to the old man and bowed, saying respectfully: "I am He Jian Chu Yun, and I pay my respects to the ancestor of the Zhu family."

"Well... is the contracted beast yours?"

"Yes, an assassin just tried to assassinate me and I was injured. Xuan Li caused such a commotion in order to chase the assassin. However, this matter was caused by me, so please punish me, ancestor."

The ancestor of the Zhu family did not say anything about He Jianchuyun living in the Zhu family. He only looked at Shen Yi again, with a thoughtful look on his face, but it only lasted for two seconds. He waved his hand and said, "It is natural for the God of Life to protect the master. You don't have to blame yourself. How is your injury? Do you want a doctor to take a look?"

"Thank you for your concern, Old Ancestor. I just suffered a superficial injury, so there is no need to call a doctor."

"That's great. The man on the ground is the assassin who came to kill you?"

"Yes."

"Someone has just told me some things about this place. It's up to you to decide how to deal with the assassin. I won't ask any more questions. It's getting late. Go back and rest early."

"Yes!"

The old man from the Zhu family did not stay long. He looked at He Jian Chuyun with a complicated look, then led his people away, and also dismissed other people who wanted to join in the fun.

As soon as he left, He Jianchuyun breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Shen Yi.

Shen Yi immediately understood what she meant, and quickly turned into a ray of light and penetrated into her consciousness space.

"Xuan Li, the Zhu family's ancestor seems to have figured out something."

"That's for sure."

"If too many people know that you are a Class A Divine Beast, will it cause trouble?"

"Oh, these are bound to happen sooner or later, but it's not too bad now." "What do you mean?"

"Didn't you see? The ancestor of the Zhu family is trying to get close to you."

"Really?" He Jianchuyun asked back, but his face looked thoughtful.

Shen Yi opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he closed it for some reason.

Seems hesitant to speak.

The assassin's cultivation level should be in the late stage of the Consciousness Stage, either the Exorcism Stage or the Barrier Breakthrough Stage, more or less. With such a cultivation level, most of his body was caught in the eye of the eighth-level Heavenly Attracting All-Spirits Explosion, but after the explosion, not only did he not be shattered to pieces, but he also escaped unscathed and even had the strength to continue running.

Tianyin Wanling Explosion was his ultimate move and it had always been effective in the past, but it failed today. This was too unscientific. The only explanation was that the explosion of Tianyin Wanling Explosion did not cause any harm to him. It was as if he had opened a golden body during the explosion and was directly immune to all damage.

The golden body here might be some kind of magical means. If so, then the question is, how did he know that the eye of the storm would explode later?
It was too weird. This matter was like a thorn in his heart. He couldn't sleep until he figured it out.

This is also why Shen Yi deliberately deflected the fireball, just to give the assassin some life so that he could interrogate him about what was going on.

If not for this, the assassin would have no chance to commit suicide by taking poison and would have been devoured by the fireball in mid-air and turned into ashes.

"What do you think of the Zhu family's ancestor?"

"That's it. You're quite good at judging people by their appearance."

"uh-huh."

Shen Yi replied to He Jianchuyun casually without thinking too much about it. The most important thing now was to find out the identity of this assassin first, and then follow the clues to find out who he was.

What he and He Jian Chu Yun didn't know was that on the other side, a second elder of the Zhu family was asking his ancestor in confusion: "Ancestor, why do you... think so highly of He Jian Chu Yun? She is not a member of my Zhu family..."

"You've lived for quite a few years, and you don't realize this?"

"Please give me some advice, ancestor."

"I think the little girl's bone age is less than 20 years old, but she has the cultivation base of the peak of the Pure Stage..."

"What! At the peak of the Pure Stage, this is impossible!"

"Nothing is impossible. The most interesting thing is her life god. I have lived for more than 200 years, but this is the first time I have seen such a life god. Xuanli... um, can you feel its aura?"

"Yes, that God of Life is not simple. Even when I was at my peak, I would still be afraid of it."

"now it's right."

"Ancestor, He Jian Chu Yun is not from the Zhu family after all..."

"Shut up, there's no need to say more."

"Yes!"

"Tell Jianqing to come to my room later. I have something to say to him."

"I understand, ancestor."

……

She had the assassin's body carried into Mingyan Courtyard, and she sent Zhuhong and the others away, asking them to go back to their rooms to sleep, while she and Shen Yi got busy.

In order to hunt down the assassin, Shen Yi tore down the house, so he had to find someone to repair it. As for where to sleep, he didn't have to worry, but after such a commotion, He Jianchuyun would have trouble falling asleep tonight. The same was true for Shen Yi. He handed the storage bag to He Jianchuyun, and he fumbled around the assassin's body again, and finally took out a very peculiarly shaped device from his right wrist.

This device is small and exquisite. Judging from the material, it should be made of silver. There are complex and exquisite patterns carved on the surface. No one knows what it is used for. Shen Yi fiddled with it for a while and found that this thing is a launcher that can be used to shoot hidden weapons, but it consumes spiritual power to use it.

"Oh, it's a nice magic weapon."

"Let me see... Hmm! It's the hidden weapon he used before! Anyway, Xuan Li, you can't use it, so it belongs to me now."

"Screw you!"

"Is there anything else?"

"No, what about you? What do you mean?"

As he spoke, Tsurumi Hatsuyun opened the assassin's storage bag and quickly took out all the things inside. There were a lot of items, including elixirs, weapons, daily necessities, some animal bones, etc. These things surrounded Tsurumi Hatsuyun in an instant.

"With so many things, are there any useful ones?"

"This." He Jianchu Yunqing made way for him and handed a token to Shen Yi with an inexplicable look.

"Take a look."

"This is..." Shen Yi took the token and looked at it carefully, and his expression froze the next second.

As if afraid that he would not remember, He Jian Chu Yun took out a box from her storage space. After opening it, she found the Tian Zi token given to her by Qin Cunxian, the head of Daoguo Village.

……

The air froze for two seconds, the two sides looked at each other, and shouted three words at the same time.

"The Lonely Alliance."

The token in the assassin's storage space was actually the killing token of the Lonely Alliance. The difference was that the token Qin Cunxian gave him was the Tian token, while the one the assassin gave him was the Xuan token.

The two tokens are exactly the same in style and shape, but one is brand new while the other is full of traces of time.

"Hiss~ It seems that he was sent by Zhu Yixuan. Instead of targeting the leader of the Tiger Gang, he set his target on you." Shen Yi said dimly. Thinking back, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.

If the old witch hadn't pulled him back in the house before, he might have been shot in the head by the hidden weapon shot by the assassin. They broke into Zhu Mansion and Mingyan Courtyard silently, and squatted on the beam for so long. It can only be said that the Lonely League is indeed a famous killer organization.

"How about... I tell my aunt about this. It shouldn't be difficult to get rid of Zhu Yixuan..."

"No, I think this matter is not that simple. It's better not to alert the enemy first." Shen Yi stopped him. The main reason why he said this was because the assassin was immune to the damage of Tianyin Wanling's explosion, but this also made He Jianchuyun feel puzzled.

"What? Something's wrong?"

"Do you believe my intuition?"

"You're so suspicious."

"Oh! Just listen to me. Find someone to investigate it yourself and don't make too much noise."

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to the boss."

"Humph!"

"That's it for today. I'll ask Yang Bayuan to come over tomorrow. Are you sleepy?"

"I'm not sleepy. I'll just keep an eye on him here. I'm afraid the assassin is not dead and he will get up and run away as soon as we leave." Shen Yi said. In his previous life, he had often seen similar scenes in movies, TV shows or novels. If the assassin was really pretending to be dead and he sneaked away, it would be a big loss.

But when He Jianchuyun heard what he said, he rolled his eyes at him and said, "Isn't this simple?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she drew her sword and stabbed it into the assassin's heart without saying a word.

Now, even if the assassin is not dead, he must die completely.
