Rebellious Contract Beast

Xiang Tao felt that Shen Yi's words were not real, but she did not go forward to chase him. Instead, she carefully felt the changes happening in her body.

She had already guessed about 80% of it, but she was still not completely sure.

If this is true, it is too shocking!
Coming back to her senses, she looked up at the direction where Shen Yi left, and murmured faintly: "Breakthrough tonight... Then I'll give it a try..."

……

Time passed quickly and it was night. There was no one in Mingyan Courtyard and the night was quiet. It was time to go back to the room to rest, but Zhao Boyan was pacing back and forth anxiously in front of Xiangtao's house.

Before it got dark, he heard Xiangtao say that she would have a breakthrough tonight.

To be honest, he was a little worried. When a cultivator breaks through a great realm, it is inevitable that he will produce a large amount of epidemic energy. If it is not handled properly, it is easy to end up dead.

As far as he was concerned, it took him more than three years to break through from the Consciousness Stage to the Spiritual Stage. Xiang Tao broke through to the peak of the Consciousness Stage a little later than him, and it has only been two years so far. She suddenly chose to break through tonight, and he was very worried that something might happen to her.

However, Xiang Tao was very confident, as if she was absolutely sure that she could successfully break through the spiritual level.

He couldn't figure it out and was a little confused.

He could only turn his head from time to time to look towards the door, feeling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth constantly flowing in. He wanted to ask about the other party's situation, but was worried that doing so would disturb Xiangtao and cause her to go astray and be in danger, so he had to give up.

Just as he was thinking wildly and getting anxious in his heart, the door was suddenly opened with a click.

Hearing the noise, Bo Nian quickly looked over again and saw Xiang Tao coming out.

"Xiang Tao! What's wrong?!"

Bo Nian's face was full of worry, his eyes were shining brightly, and he was carefully observing her physical condition.

Fortunately, nothing happened, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

"Success?"

Xiang Tao nodded, her mouth opened and her breathing became rapid. No one knew what had happened to her. She was so excited that she couldn't even speak.

"Bo Nian..."

"What's wrong? Are you okay?"

"I...I'm fine...Yes..."

"what's up?"

"Xuan Li...it's Xuan Li...he...he..."

"What?" Bo Nian was totally confused. He couldn't understand what the other party meant. He looked at Xiang Tao's face. Her expression was not sad, but excited. Especially excited!
"I succeeded, I broke through the spiritual level...Xuan Li...my plague is all gone!"

Xiang Tao spoke incoherently, but it was no wonder that she did so. During the process of breaking through the spiritual level, she took the opportunity to force open the eyes of her soul and observed the scene inside the altar.

Even though she had prepared herself mentally, she was still so shocked that her mind went blank after seeing what her soul saw.

So after successfully breaking through the realm, she didn't even care about consolidating her realm, and rushed out directly, just wanting to find someone to talk to about everything that had happened to her during the day.

And Bo Nian is obviously the best person to tell the story to.

After Xiangtao's speech was incoherent for several minutes, she gradually recovered and began to speak fluently.

"Bo Nian, this is what happened... I was just joking at the time, but I didn't expect that Xuan Li would actually clear the plague from my altar... I... Bo Nian, will Xuan Li be in trouble?"

"Your body...your epidemic is really gone?"

"No, really, not a single drop of it! It's very clean. I've never seen my altar so clean before..."

"Are you sure it was Xuan Li who did it?"

"I am sure that he was the one who broke into my altar space today. Who else could it be if not him?"

"This..." After understanding the whole story, Zhao Boyan was so shocked that he was speechless.

Xuan Li is not Xiang Tao's life god, so how could he bear the epidemic for her?
And it absorbed all the epidemic energy!
Zhao Boyan was puzzled.

All this was just a reward from Xuan Li after Xiang Tao said a few words and asked Han Wanhe to send a box of gold.

If all the gods in the world knew that a box of gold was all they needed to make the epidemic that plagued them disappear, wouldn't the threshold of Mingyanyuan be trampled down by people?

The huge amount of gold can flood the entire Jiangzhou city!

"No, Bo Nian, I have to go see the young lady right now! The young lady is Xuan Li's master, how can I let Xuan Li bear my plague?"

"Xiang Tao!" Bo Nian looked in the direction of the main house. The lights inside were off. He could only say, "The young lady is asleep now. It's better not to disturb her so late. Let's go find her tomorrow."

Xiangtao also glanced towards the main house and thought that what Bo Nian said made sense. After all, it was so late. If the young lady knew about this and got angry, her health might be in danger. So she nodded, agreed to his suggestion, and prepared to rest first.

However, having encountered such a thing, I am destined to have a sleepless night.

……

The next morning, Xiangtao and Boyan hurried into the hall and found Tsurumi Hatsuyun who was having breakfast inside.

"Miss! Miss!"

Seeing the two people in a hurry, He Jianchuyun suddenly showed a puzzled look on his face and asked: "Huh? What happened?"

Xiang Tao and Bo Nian looked at each other, the former accelerated, came to her side, and was about to kneel down, but was blocked by He Jian Chu Yun at the critical moment.

"What are you doing? What happened?"

"I'm sorry Miss, I didn't mean it!"

"Ah? Please stand up and tell me what happened."

"It's like this, young lady. Yesterday..." Xiang Tao briefly recounted what happened to her yesterday. After she finished speaking, without waiting for He Jian Chu Yun to react, she knelt down in front of her and shouted, "Miss, please punish me!"

"This..." Originally, He Jian Chuyun felt a little uneasy when she saw Xiangtao Boyan and the others looking so flustered, but after hearing what happened, she felt at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"I thought it was some big deal, but it's this. It's okay, get up."

"Miss..." Seeing Tsurumi Hatsuyun's expression of not taking it seriously at all, Xiangtao and Boyan were stunned for a moment. They couldn't help but wonder if it was because of themselves that they used the wrong words just now, which made Tsurumi Hatsuyun fail to realize the seriousness of the matter.

But what she said was fine, right? Just when her mind was in a mess, He Jian Hatsuyun had already reached out and helped her up.

"It's a good thing that the epidemic is gone. We should be happy. It's okay. Don't worry."

"Miss, Xuanli is your contracted beast after all. He has helped me bear so much plague. I don't know if anything will happen. If you..." Xiangtao didn't finish her words, but those who understand know what she meant. She was just worried that Xuanli had borne Xiangtao's plague, and would not be able to bear the plague that should have belonged to He Jianchuyun in the future.

Wen Yanhe saw Chu Yun shook her head and replied, "Xuan Li will be fine, don't worry." After saying that, she sat back and took a leisurely bite of her breakfast.

Seeing that she still looked completely unconcerned, Xiang Tao felt touched and blamed herself at the same time. At the same time, she became more and more anxious. Even though Xuan Li was a top-level Life God of Grade A, who could withstand large amounts of plague that other contracted beasts would not even think of, he couldn't be so wasteful!

In her and Bo Nian's minds, He Jian Chu Yun, who has contracted a Class A divine beast, will be the next Ju Jun Quan, the strongest person in the world at the peak of the Sky Rank!
What if a long time later, Xuan Li was unable to break through to the peak of the Void Stage because he absorbed the epidemic energy from his divine platform today?
"Miss, this... this is not a joke, Xiangtao... I'm sorry to have delayed you..."

"You..." The spoon in He Jianchuyun's hand paused in mid-air. Looking at Xiangtao's guilty face, she didn't know what to say.

Looking around, there was no one else here except Xiangtao Boyan and the other two. After thinking for a while, she simply said, "Okay, okay, I get it. How about I tell you two a secret?"

"Miss, what do you mean?" Xiang Tao and Boyan beside her were stunned for a moment. They were just talking about Shen Yi breathing in the infectious air that he shouldn't have breathed in, so how did it get to the "secret"?

"Whether you want to listen or not, after listening, you must not tell anyone else, no one." He Jianchuyun said seriously.

Xiangtao Boyan and the others wanted to brush it off, but Hejian Chuyun's words aroused their curiosity, so they nodded doubtfully: "The young lady's secret is our secret, and we will never tell anyone else even if we die."

"Okay, it's not that serious."

"Miss……"

"The secret I want to tell you is... Actually, Xuan Li feeds on the plague."

"what?"

The so-called "secret" from Hejian Chuyun's mouth was very short, so short that it slipped through the ears of Xiangtao and Bo Nian in an instant. Some of them didn't understand it, but later they reacted. They both froze in place. After a long time, they heard Bo Nian say, "Miss, are you... kidding?"

"I'm not kidding. Xuan Li does feed on the plague energy. You saw it with your own eyes. Otherwise, how could I have broken through the consciousness level so quickly?"

"Miss, are you serious?"

"It's true, so you don't have to worry about him, and don't blame yourself. The epidemic has no effect on Xuan Li."

"This……"

The air around them fell into silence. Xiang Tao turned her head, and Boyan next to her also turned his head. The two looked at each other and then gasped.

At this moment, both of them had the same thought in their minds.

How could there be such a heaven-defying contracted beast in the world?

Feeding on plague energy, just based on this point, even if Xuan Li is the lowest level life god, he is still hundreds of blocks ahead of other top-grade A-level life gods!

On the path of cultivation, the biggest problem people face is the erosion of epidemics. If there were no epidemics, 70% to 80% of all the difficulties that may be encountered on the path of cultivation would disappear directly!
The highest realm that all geniuses can cultivate to is no longer the peak of the Void Stage. It is very likely that someone will be able to break through to the legendary realm - the Heaven Stage!
Thinking about this, Xiang Tao and Boyan's breathing began to become rapid. If it was really as their young lady said, did it mean that they could also break through the realm that they dared not even think about with Xuan Li's help?
"Miss, where is Xuan Li? He doesn't seem to be in Mingyan Courtyard."

After coming back to her senses, Xiang Tao asked.

And He Jian Hatsuyun shook his head: "He went out early in the morning, and I don't know where he went."

"That's it~"

At the same time, on Shen Yi's side, he was flapping his wings and flying into a window on the top floor of the Tongtian Building of the Tianxiaren Group.

As soon as he came in, he looked around and saw that his office had not been touched. He immediately drew the curtain and said to the ghost soldier standing by: "Go, call Qu Xiangui to me."

The ghost soldier didn't say anything, he immediately opened the door and walked out with a bang.

Shen Yi waited for about ten minutes and then heard a knock on the door.

"Boss, here I come."

"come in."

"Yes."

First there was the sound of the door opening, and then the sound of Qu Xiangui walking in.

Shen Yi asked: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Boss, Han Wanhe sent a letter earlier, saying that you have to open it in person."

"Han Wanhe?" Shen Yi raised his head. He had never given up investigating why the assassin named Jing Yao was immune to his Tianyin Wanling Explosion. A long time ago, he asked Boyan to talk to Han Wanhe and ask him to help find out Jing Yao's true identity.

However, the assassins of the Lonely Alliance protected their identities very strictly. Even Han Wanhe, the deacon and young elder of the Lonely Alliance, could not find out who Jing Yao was all at once.

So several months passed without any progress in the investigation.

Now there is finally some news from Han Wanhe, which is worth my attention.

"What about the letter?"

"I brought it." Qu Xiangui replied, taking out a complete wax-sealed letter from the storage space and handing it to the Yin soldier beside him naturally.

Through the hands of the ghost soldier, Shen Yi took the letter into his hands, and then opened it without saying a word.

Ten seconds later, Shen Yi finished reading the content above and was silent for a while before saying, "Han Wanhe didn't say anything else?"

"Yes, Han Wanhe told me where the letter came from. Just last night, he got the news from his subordinates and went to find Jing Yao's family. But when he came back, Jing Yao's family was murdered to silence them?"

"Ok?"

"Han Wanhe said that someone intercepted him on the way. Not only did he kill the people he was going to bring back, but he also killed all his guards. This letter was given to Han Wanhe by that mysterious person... In addition, after Han Wanhe received the letter, the mysterious person also asked him to pass it on to the person behind me."

"Yeah." Shen Yi nodded. Who else could be behind Qu Xiangui?

Of course it’s myself.

He fixed his eyes on the contents of the letter, and a solemn look appeared on his scaly dragon face.

Although it was not explicitly stated in the letter, he could sense that the writer was targeting him, but... why?
