Chapter 531: Chapter 526 Shen Luo

"You want to kill me?"

The expression of the female Heavenly Demon changed, indicating she now realized the gravity of the situation. However, she immediately shook her head and then smiled, "You don’t necessarily have to kill me. From now on, I can follow by your side and protect you completely. How about that?"

"Of course,"

Ye Xuan reined in the murderous intent on his face and then changed the topic, "However, between us, we need to establish a master-servant contract."

He knew what she was plotting. Although she said she was willing to follow him, she was actually coveting the divine power fluctuations within him. Once she found an opportunity, she would definitely not hesitate to strike.

"What, establish a contract?"

The smile on the face of the female Heavenly Demon instantly stiffened, as her thoughts were similar to what Ye Xuan believed—coveting the divine power emanating from Ye Xuan. A mere human Third Grade Martial Venerable, how could she willingly submit to him.

"Once a contract is established, wouldn’t my life and death be in your hands? Don’t worry, I will swear an oath of loyalty to you, and I will never betray you."

"Unwilling, are you?"

Ye Xuan gave a cold laugh, "Do you think you still have the right to bargain with me now? If we don’t establish a contract, I will have no choice but to erase you."

Actually, Ye Xuan didn’t currently possess the power to erase her. The power of the Martial Arts Primordial Spirit was not under his control, hence he was merely bluffing now. However, the female Heavenly Demon had just been seriously injured due to the counterattack from the Martial Arts Primordial Spirit, presenting a good opportunity to subdue her.

Without the power of the Martial Arts Primordial Spirit, Ye Xuan basically had no hope of killing this Heavenly Demon, even with the inclusion of those two Supreme Elders.

"Actually, this deal is not a loss for you. I can clearly tell you, the scene you just saw was the Heavenly Realm. The power I used is undoubtedly divine power. If I wasn’t urgently in need of manpower, with your strength, you wouldn’t even be worthy of making a contract with me," Ye Xuan said indifferently.

Hearing this, the expression of the female Heavenly Demon darkened. Ye Xuan’s words clearly belittled her. With her cultivation at Martial God Level, was she unworthy of being his servant? That was rather an exaggeration.

Yet the divine power fluctuations she had felt from Ye Xuan were undeniably real, and she wouldn’t believe herself if Ye Xuan was merely an ordinary human.

"If you can’t even agree to this, then it shows you’ve never truly intended to follow me sincerely. What use do I have for you?" Ye Xuan shook his head.

Dealing with such an ancient demon, who had survived through conspiracies for thousands of years, there was a risk that he would be left with nothing, not even bones.

"Fine, I agree. I’m not submitting to you, but rather to the divine power within you."

After hesitating for a moment, the female Heavenly Demon finally nodded her head gravely.

This decision was her conclusion after much deliberation.

"It doesn’t matter."

Ye Xuan shook his head. Submitting to him or to the divine power within him was the same in his eyes.

Taking a deep breath, the female Heavenly Demon clasped her hands together, then quickly formed a seal. Between her palms, a bloody pattern swiftly materialized, within which was a particularly ferocious face—part of her soul power being forcefully extracted.

Watching the slowly forming bloody pattern, Ye Xuan was not suspicious of any deceit, assuming that after the recent lesson, she had realized that petty tricks would be futile.

Seeing this, Ye Xuan simply moved his brow, and a beam of light shot out from his forehead, then branded itself upon the bloody pattern.

All at once, Ye Xuan felt an astonishing surge of bloodthirsty energy reaching deep into his soul, as if he was suddenly pulled into a bloody purgatory, seeing nothing but endless blood!

"This is the soul of the Heavenly Demon."

"This soul power," she could say, "is quite strong; and this is only a fragment of the Holy Realm Sky Demon’s soul. If it were the complete soul, its power would be unimaginable."

The soul mark solidified quickly within the blood-colored pattern and ultimately fused entirely into this fragment of soul, returning to the body of the Holy Realm Sky Demon.

"What is your name?"

Having planted the soul mark, Ye Xuan also let down his guard, as under the master-servant contract, the other party had little opportunity.

"My name is Shen Luo," the female Sky Demon replied with a bow.

"We should get out of here now."

Ye Xuan nodded and then turned to sweep toward the top of the array. Simultaneously, Shen Luo followed, flapping her Black Wings, leaving a black whirlwind at the spot, her fiery figure vanishing.

Above the array.

"This is bad; the kid has been down there so long without any sign of coming out. I fear the worst," said Tianxing Half-Saint, shaking his head as he watched the dark area in the center of the array.

"Do you still have hope for him? Below is a Heavenly Demon, not someone benevolent. This kid acted rashly; he’s undoubtedly doomed."

In the view of Half-Saint Black Flame, Ye Xuan was surely dead below. The kid was too reckless, not knowing his own limits, and his death would be nobody’s fault but his own.

"How could things have turned out this way?"

The Great Elder’s expression was bitter. He had seen Ye Xuan as the savior of their Sect, and his fall here would undoubtedly be a massive blow to him.

However, just at that moment, a sudden "whoosh" sound erupted from the dark area of the array, followed by a sudden burst of formidable demonic Qi. A shadow, mixed with tremendous demonic Qi, appeared above the array.

The demonic Qi dispersed quickly, revealing a pair of large, ferocious black wings. The next moment, a demonic shadow slowly emerged.

"He’s out!"

The expressions of the three changed drastically, and both Tianxing Half-Saint and Half-Saint Black Flame tensed up as if facing a great enemy.

"Two Half-Saint old men and a Seventh Grade Martial Venerate, and you’re not even enough to fill the gaps between my teeth."

The demonic shadow appeared in front of them, smiling with a charm that was simultaneously alarming.

The statement made the three shiver in dread; it seemed that no matter what, they couldn’t avoid this calamity today.

"Shen Luo, these three are all my elders; who allowed you to scare them?"

Amid this extremely tense atmosphere, suddenly, a somewhat familiar voice came from below the array, and shortly thereafter, a figure appeared from the gap in the array, and it was indeed Ye Xuan.

"I couldn’t hold back, sorry."

Shen Luo’s apology seemed quite insincere.

"Don’t let it happen again," Ye Xuan glared at her.

"What is all this about?"

Seeing this scene, the three Tianxing Half-Saints were almost instantly petrified on the spot, their faces filled with disbelief. Had they not pinched themselves hard, they might really have thought the scene they had just seen was an illusion.
