Rebellious Contract Beast

During this time in the dungeon, Zhu Yixuan's mood was like a roller coaster. Under the strong stimulation, he almost turned into a walking corpse.

When he left the dungeon, he didn't know how he got out. He just heard a "bang" and felt a burning pain on his face.

It was not until he saw his wife's concerned eyes that he came to his senses and remembered everything.

"Husband, how are you? Are you hurt?"

"No, no need to worry."

With the help of his son and wife, Zhu Yixuan stood up from the ground with difficulty, then looked down at both sides of his body, gritted his teeth, and pulled out the silver needle inserted into his body.

The reason why he was beaten up like this by He Jian Yan Qiu was that his own cultivation was sealed by these silver needles.

"You have some internal injuries. It's okay. You will be fine after a few days of recuperation. How are you? What did they do to you?"

"They didn't do anything but tie me up."

"That's good."

After making sure that his wife was telling the truth, Zhu Yixuan breathed a sigh of relief and was about to look back, but Wu Gong's voice suddenly came: "What, you're not leaving yet? Are you waiting for me to change my mind?"

Zhu Yixuan and his wife and his three children all shuddered at this. How could they dare to delay? They hurriedly limped out of the Shen Mansion, looking very embarrassed. But at this moment, Wu Gong spoke again: "Others can go, but you stop for me first."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yixuan didn't dare to say anything. He had to let his wife and daughter leave first, and then he turned to face Wu Gong.

"What else are you going to do?"

Wu Gong laughed, walked towards him slowly, and said: "Don't forget that you don't have the support of the Zhu family now. In other words, whether you live or die depends on my lady's decision. I hope you can see clearly what situation you are in now, and know what to do and what not to do when you go back!"

"You don't need to say anything!"

"Really? That's better, haha~"

"Nothing else?"

"No more, go away."

"Then I'll take my leave."

Zhu Yixuan left with a stiff face, watching him walk out of Shen Mansion, his figure disappeared from his sight, Wu Gong turned around, sat on the main seat in the conference hall with a big sword and a golden horse, frowned and asked Shen Yi: "Xuan Li, I don't think it's a good idea to let him go like this."

"I don't want to know what you feel, I want to know what I feel." As soon as Shen Yi finished speaking, a large ball of light squeezed out from between Wu Gong's eyebrows, fell on the floor next to him, and turned into Shen Yi's body.

"What do you mean, you can't tell me?"

Coming out of the consciousness space, Shen Yi first took two steps back and forth, looked at Wu Gong, and explained: "Zhu Yixuan is not a fool. The old witch's aunt gave him such a hand. Now he should be able to see clearly what kind of situation he is in. Moreover, his weakness is in our hands. You don't have a family, so you may not understand, but Zhu Yixuan is a person who cares about his flesh and blood. As long as he can't protect the safety of those around him, no matter how dissatisfied he is with us, he can only endure it."

"What does this have to do with killing him? Aren't you nurturing a tiger to cause trouble?"

"Oh my god... do you really think the assassins from the Lonely Alliance are easy to deal with?"

"Isn't it? Five people fought against the little girl, but three of them died. What else can this be but a good-for-nothing?"

"Damn it! You really have never been assassinated before? Let those assassins poke you twice when you are sleeping at night and I think you will behave yourself."

"Tsk~"

"Killing Zhu Yixuan won't do any good to me and the old witch anyway, so why not keep him and let him go to the Lonely Alliance to withdraw the bounty? This way he can do less work. And his businesses have accumulated a lot of wealth over the years. Are you willing to give it to the Zhu family?"

"Hey! I thought I had done something extremely evil, but I didn't expect you to be the one who eats people without leaving any bones behind."

"Each each other."

Afterwards, I chatted with Shen Yi and Wu Gong about some random things, such as asking about the recent situation of the Pillow Blade Club.

Wu Gong waved his hand and just said that the Pillow Blade Society had been much more obedient recently because after he had a big fight with Zhu Qingtian, Zhu Qingtian rarely showed up. The two gangs had occasional frictions during this period, but they were all minor fights, so they were not mentioned.

Seeing that nothing was wrong, Shen Yi did not stay in the Shen Mansion for too long. After saying goodbye to Wu Gong, he spread his wings and flew into the sky, disappearing into the night.

In Mingyan Courtyard, He Jian Chu Yun, who was refining medicine in the alchemy room, heard the sound of a door opening from the side. Knowing that it was Shen Yi, she asked without turning her head, "What's going on?"

"I asked Wu Gong to ask Zhu Yixuan some questions. By the way, I didn't kill him. I let him go. This guy has secretly controlled the Tiger Gang for so many years. I'm afraid he has hidden a lot of gold. I have to find a way to trick him out of it all."

"You..." He Jianchuyun was speechless. Why is Xuan Li becoming more and more obsessed with gold?
However, she had no objection to him letting Zhu Yixuan go, and only asked: "What did you ask Zhu Yixuan?"

"Ask the assassin who sneaked into Zhu's house and tried to kill you that day about his background."

"Why? What's wrong with that assassin?"

"This..." Shen Yi suddenly realized something and was about to find an excuse to get away with it, but after thinking about it, he didn't do so. Instead, he said truthfully: "You know that I used my magical powers when I was chasing that assassin, right?"

"Hmm..." He Jianchuyun nodded. When Shen Yi used the Tianyin Wanling Explosion, she also heard the explosion.

"And then, what happened?"

"After my magical power exploded, that bitch was actually fine."

"He...he dodged it?"

"No, it hit the bull's eye."

"Uh, you mean he's not hurt?"

"That's about right. I saw with my own eyes that he was dragged in by my magical power, but nothing happened to him after the explosion. He was immune to it, as if he couldn't be selected. Anyway, he should have been blown to pieces."

He Jian Chuyun found Shen Yi's metaphor a little difficult to understand, but she still understood what Shen Yi meant and frowned slightly.

She was very familiar with Shen Yi's magical powers. The maximum power could even directly kill a Xuan-level Venerable. Once a person was caught in the eye of the storm, he would basically die after the explosion.

This is also Shen Yi’s strongest killing move. But since it is a killing move, if it doesn’t cause any damage, can it still be called a killing move?

Shen Yi couldn't help feeling anxious because his killer move had no effect on anyone.

"Could it be that the assassin used some magic to dodge it?"

"It's very possible, but here comes the problem. A contracted beast like me is unique in the world. How would he know what divine powers I have?"

"That's right... Then what are you going to do?"

"Of course we have to investigate the assassin, but he is already dead. Zhu Yixuan doesn't know where he came from, but he did point out a way."

"What is it?" "An elder of the Lonely Alliance."

"Isn't it the butler?"

"The one who came to Jiangzhou City was not a deacon of the Lonely Guest Alliance, but an elder."

"Oh~ How did you find him? What did Qu Xiangui find out?"

"No, that elder rarely goes to the rice shop on Huaxin Street, but he often goes to a horse farm outside the city."

"Which racecourse?"

"Do you know about the horse ranch two miles north of the city?"

"I don't know. Let me ask someone."

"Well, I'll ask Qu Xiangui to send someone to inquire about it later."

After talking about this, Shen Yi lay on the blanket leisurely.

Come to think of it, the fact that the assassin was immune to the damage from Tianyin Wanling Explosion was probably just a coincidence, and I just happened to run into him.

Of course, Shen Yi didn’t want to be so serious about it. If it was really a coincidence, then everything would be fine. But what if it wasn’t?
Find out the situation first. Even though it takes some effort, it can help you be prepared for any eventuality!
……

dong dong dong~
The dull knock on the door was somewhat abrupt, breaking the quiet and desertedness in Mingyan Courtyard.

The two Zhu family guards who were chatting behind the door paused when they heard the noise, looked at each other, and stood up and walked over.

"Who's outside?"

"We are here to look for Miss Chu Yun. Is she here?"

"Tell me who you are first."

A man's voice was heard outside the door first, but the two guards behind the door did not open the door. They asked the other party's identity again, but the voice that answered them was a woman's.

"We are from the Zhao family in Hengzhou. We are here to protect the young lady on the orders of the patriarch of the Zhao family."

"The Zhao family of Hengzhou?" The two guards' faces changed. They were originally assigned by Hejian Yanqiu to guard Hejian Chuyun's house. They knew the Zhao family of Hengzhou. Seeing this, they exchanged glances, one walked quickly to the backyard, and the other opened the door.

"Come in."

There were a man and a woman standing outside the door. The woman had a pretty face and a meticulous expression. She was carrying a big sword behind her that was wider than her body. The man was tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a determined face. He seemed to be carrying a long spear on his back, but it was wrapped tightly with cloth, so it was not certain whether it was a long spear.

Not long after, Zhu Hong hurried over and saw the two people's faces lit up with joy, obviously serious, and she shouted, "Come in first, the lady is waiting for you."

"Please lead the way, young lady."

Without delay, Zhu Hong immediately led the two into the hall. When they saw He Jian Chu Yun inside, the man and woman knelt on one knee, clasped their fists and said, "Zhao Boyan, meet Miss Chu Yun."

"Zhao Xiangtao greets Miss Chuyun. The master was delayed by something. We are a little late. Please forgive me, Miss."

"Please stand up quickly." He Jianchuyun quickly asked the two to stand up and sit down, then asked, "How did you get here?"

"My lady, after the head of the family learned that you were attacked by the assassins of the Lonely Alliance not long ago, he built a single-use teleportation formation in the ancestral mountain two days ago and sent the two of us here to protect your safety."

"The Lonely Alliance..." He Jianchuyun was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Apparently, on the day of the outing at Langshuang Mountain, Zhu Yandong and his men found the body of an assassin and learned that they were sent by the Lonely Alliance. Since Zhu Yandong knew it, there was no reason for He Jianyanqiu not to know it.

Long before, He Jian Yanqiu was ready to force two maids with the cultivation level of Consciousness Stage on her, but He Jian Chuyun refused. After all, the two maids were only at the initial stage of Consciousness Stage and could not even defeat her. If they met the assassins of the Lonely Guest Alliance again, their only role would be to block the sword.

There was no one else around, so she and Shen Yi could still fight back.

When there are too many people, we have to consider the safety of others.

It's not that He Jian Yanqiu doesn't want to arrange guards who can absolutely guarantee He Jian Chuyun's safety, but those with high cultivation are often members of the Zhu family. Who would be willing to be a bodyguard for others? That would be too cheap. It is even more unrealistic to arrange strong people with cultivation above the spiritual level.

The Zhao family was quite direct. They arranged two guards at the peak of the consciousness level without saying a word. However, they were still not good enough. The only one worth mentioning was Bo Nian, who was already half a step into the spiritual level. He should have broken through to the spiritual level long ago, but because the Zhao family was restricted and resources could not keep up, he was unable to break through.

Being sent here this time can be regarded as an opportunity for him. The old witch is an alchemist. With the support of her elixirs, it will only take ten days or half a month to break through the spiritual level.

Shen Yi looked at Bo Nian and Xiang Tao from the side. How should he put it? They should be husband and wife because they look like a couple.

He was not familiar with Xiangtao, but according to Boyan, he had met her once in Hengzhou City. It was said that she was raised by the Zhao family. Although she was not of the Zhao family, the grace of her upbringing made her very loyal to the Zhao family. I think Xiangtao was the same.

He Jian and Chu Yun knew each other and had a lot to talk about after meeting, but Shen Yi was not in the mood to listen to what they were talking about. He looked around and saw that all the members of Mingyan Court had come here. He grinned, shook his head and slipped out of the hall and came to the back door of Mingyan Court.

After waiting for a while, someone knocked on the back door from outside. When it was opened, Wu Sheng's face appeared in front of him.

"How to say?"

"Are there guests inside?"

"Well, the old witch's mother's clan sent two bodyguards."

"I see."

"Where are my things?"

"Here." Wu Sheng handed over a package, but when Shen Yi opened it, he raised his eyebrows and said dissatisfiedly: "It's been three days, right? How come there are only so few?"

"Just be content. Do you know that Zhu Yantao just went to the Shen Mansion to find Old Duan and said he would pay the debt first, but Old Duan didn't agree. I think it won't be long before this kid can't get any more gold."

"You owe it first? How can you owe a gift to a girl when you are courting her?"

"You son of a bitch, is this for a little girl? Didn't it end up in your pocket? I think it's for you! What kind of little girl are you?"

"Go to hell!" Shen Yi cursed angrily, but still felt a little ashamed.

Wu Sheng was right. The gold given by Zhu Yantao would never reach the old witch's hands, but would eventually end up in her own pocket.

"Come on, let Duan Huai take care of it. If he really has no gold left, then let him go. The gold will not be returned. Also, have someone check where Zhu Yantao's gold came from. I'll see if I can make some money."

"It has to be you. You are a contracted beast, but the methods you come up with are more despicable than the last."
