I'm invincible once I descend the mountain; the beautiful CEO is forcing me to get our marriage

The atmosphere in the conference room became somewhat oppressive because of the three floating black runes.

Zhao Wuji, Li Gui, and Qian Duoduo knelt on the ground, their bodies stiff, not daring to breathe.

The joy of breaking through to the Grandmaster level vanished in an instant, replaced by a chill that emanated from the depths of his soul.

They are people who live on the edge, and their perception of danger is far beyond that of ordinary people.

The three small runes before them felt even more terrifying than facing a gun barrel.

It was a higher level of power, completely incomprehensible and impossible to resist.

"Taking an oath of the soul is very simple." Ye An's voice was calm, revealing no emotion. "Open your mind, accept it, and then repeat what I just said in your mind."

"Of course, you can refuse."

reject?

Zhao Wuji smiled bitterly to himself.

The consequences of refusing are obvious to anyone.

The Grandmaster Ye before us possesses extraordinary abilities; a single pill can create a Grandmaster. For someone like him, killing a Grandmaster is probably no more difficult than crushing an ant.

He had no doubt that if he dared to say "no," he would disappear from this world in the next second.

Moreover, it's the kind where both body and soul are destroyed.

Without hesitation, he closed his eyes and tried to calm his chaotic mind.

He could sense that the black rune was radiating a strange attraction, beckoning his spirit.

He gritted his teeth and gave up all resistance.

The rune seemed to have found an entrance; with a gentle sway, it disappeared into his brow.

A chilling sensation instantly spread throughout my body.

Zhao Wuji's body involuntarily shivered. He could clearly feel that something had appeared deep within his soul.

A mark.

A mark controlled by Ye An, capable of deciding his life or death at any time.

He slowly opened his eyes, and the fervor and excitement he had shown before were gone, replaced by pure awe and submission.

"I, Zhao Wuji, swear by my very soul that from this day forward, I will obey all of Miss Su Wanqing's commands and serve her as my master. If I disobey or harbor any disloyalty, I am willing to accept the punishment of annihilation of both body and soul."

His voice echoed in the empty living room.

With him taking the lead, Li Gui and Qian Duoduo quickly made their choices as well.

After the three of them made a vow of divine soul, the wisp of black mist at Ye An's fingertip slowly dissipated.

"The Soul Pact..."

Ye An silently repeated the name that had just surfaced in his mind.

This was the first time he had truly used a technique condensed from pure Yin attribute power after comprehending the "Yin-Yang Transformation" realm in his "Myriad Forms Limitless Skill".

It was completely different from the righteous and upright power he was familiar with before.

This power was deep and cold, as if it came from the deepest abyss.

Although the methods were somewhat ruthless, any verbal promises or binding agreements seemed pale and powerless when dealing with a ruthless figure like Zhao Wuji who lived on the edge of a knife.

Only this kind of shackle etched deep into their souls can guarantee their absolute loyalty.

He looked at the three people in front of him and nodded.

"very good."

"Starting today, you will move into the security room next to this villa. Without my orders, you are not allowed to leave Longquan Mansion."

"Yes, Master Ye!" the three replied in unison.

Ye An waved his hand: "Go."

The three felt as if they had been granted a pardon, bowed respectfully, and then carefully withdrew from the villa.

It wasn't until they stepped outside and felt the sunlight that the three of them felt alive again.

Li Gui wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and asked with lingering fear, "What...what kind of technique was that?"

"This is not something we need to worry about. You two hurry up and take the pills tonight!" Zhao Wuji was filled with excitement, as if he had become ten years younger.

……

The capital of Jiangnan Province is called Xunling.

Near Xunling City is a famous mountain, Xunlong Mountain.

This area has been developed into a tourist attraction. The mountains are not particularly steep, but the scenery is beautiful, attracting many people every year to climb and enjoy the panoramic views.

The Mercedes-Benz G-Class drove past the visitor center without stopping, continuing along a small road into the depths of Xunlong Mountain.

The car window rolled down, revealing a driver who appeared to be in his early forties. He was tall and straight, with a calm and collected gaze, and wore a fine silk casual suit, exuding an air of elegance.

Such a person should be the center of attention wherever he goes, yet he willingly works as a driver.

The mountain road twisted and turned, and the asphalt road quickly turned into a gravel road, and finally, it became a bumpy dirt road.

The G-Wagon drove along, stopping and starting, before finally coming to a stop at the foot of Xunlong Mountain.

Master Guan turned off the engine, quickly got out of the car, and respectfully opened the back door.

"Master Ye, we've arrived."

The car door opened, and a handsome young man dressed casually stepped out.

It was Ye An.

He stood beside the car, looking up at the huge mountain shadow shrouded in the morning mist.

"Master Guan, go find a tour guide."

The route they were going to take this time was different from that of ordinary tourists; they had to find a local who was familiar with the mountains to guide them.

Fortunately, Master Guan had already made contact with someone when he came to scout the route last time.

The area at the foot of Xunlong Mountain is quite popular.

Although it wasn't a holiday, quite a few people still drove here specifically to visit.

Not far away, in an open space, several brand-new luxury SUVs were parked, surrounded by a group of people. It seemed to be a wealthy family on an outing.

In addition, there are many vendors selling snacks and groceries, as well as sedan chair carriers, porters, and guides who make a living off the mountain.

Master Guan returned quickly with one other person.

He was a short, dark-skinned, lean man. When he saw Ye An, he smiled somewhat awkwardly, revealing two rows of white teeth.

"Master, his name is Yang Jiajun. He lives at the foot of this mountain and grew up there. He knows Xunlong Mountain very well," Master Guan introduced.

Ye An glanced at him and asked, "Since you grew up here, have you ever heard any legends about gods or ghosts?"

Yang Jiajun paused for a moment, then scratched his head.

"I've never heard of immortals. But I've heard from the older generation that there used to be a dragon in this mountain, which is why it's called Xunlong Mountain. Some people also say that it's actually the 'Xun' in 'searching for the dragon'."

Ye An was not disappointed when he spoke clearly and logically, and nodded.

"Let's go then."

He and Master Guan carried almost no luggage, and Yang Jiajun was very pleased to see how light their luggage was.

These kinds of customers are the most convenient; otherwise, besides being a guide, he would also have to work as a porter.

After a brief rest, the three were preparing to enter the mountains when suddenly, a middle-aged man who looked like a butler walked over from the group of wealthy people next to them.

Master Guan took the initiative to greet them and asked a few questions, only to find out that the other party wanted to invite them to go hiking together.

"My lady noticed that you two gentlemen didn't bring much luggage or food. There's nowhere to buy things in these mountains. What if you get hungry or thirsty? Why don't you come with us? It'll be good to have someone to look after you on the way."

The butler spoke very politely and adopted a very humble attitude.

Ye An followed his gaze and glanced at the luxury cars.

Several young girls dressed in brightly colored windbreakers and fashionable attire were secretly peeking in this direction, their faces hidden behind fans.

Seeing him look over, she quickly pulled her head back, pretending to be looking at the scenery.

Ye An smiled but didn't respond. He turned to Master Guan and Yang Jiajun and said, "Let's go."

After saying that, the three of them walked straight into the mountains without looking back.

……

"Miss, I don't want to."

The butler walked back to the side of the group and gave a somewhat helpless reply to the three girls.

One of the prettiest girls had already seen Ye An's back as he walked away without turning his head, and a hint of disappointment appeared on her fair face.

"Okay, I understand."

Her name was Lin Chanyi, and this was the first time in her life she had felt this special feeling for a man she had just met.

He wasn't exactly handsome, but he had a unique, ethereal quality that drew her attention.

A tall, slender girl next to her comforted her: "It's okay, Chanyi, there are plenty of excellent guys out there. Look at his outfit, so unfashionable, what's so great about him?"

Lin Chanyi smiled, not taking her friend's words to heart.

I finally mustered up the courage to let someone approach me, but unfortunately, they wouldn't even give me a chance to get to know them.

Another slightly chubby girl came up with an idea.

"What's there to be afraid of? Once we're in the mountains, we'll have plenty of chances to run into them again. They didn't even bring food or water, and I bet they didn't even bring mosquito repellent. They'll probably be begging us for help then, won't they?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Chanyi's eyes lit up immediately, and she urged, "Then let's hurry up and go into the mountains."

"Oh, so you can't wait to rescue your sweetheart already?"

"What nonsense are you talking about! I'll tickle you!"

"Giggle giggle..."

The three girls laughed and played around, and their mood brightened again.

None of them noticed that several bodyguards responsible for security were exchanging glances not far away, their eyes filled with something indescribable, as if they were plotting something.
