Many people fell silent; they knew that Jiang Youwei wasn't so easily fooled.

A signed master-servant contract is a completely different matter from a verbal promise; no one can afford the consequences of going back on their word.

"Miss Jiang, then so be it. This old man has no objection."

"Yes, I agree. As long as I can be taken away from here, what's wrong with acknowledging him as my master?"

Some people were clearly prepared, and after a moment of silence, they all agreed.

Since we've decided to submit to others as masters, signing a contract isn't unacceptable.

Since staying here is just a waste of time and a waste of life, I might as well go out and take a chance.

However, there were still a few people whose expressions were uncertain, clearly indicating that they were very resistant.

A fifth-tribulation cultivator, dressed in black robes, barely suppressed his anger and questioned with a grim expression:

"Miss Jiang, it's not wrong to acknowledge your junior brother as your master, but signing a master-servant contract means that if anything happens to your junior brother, our foundation will be completely destroyed. Isn't that a bit too domineering?"

"Hehe, you think it's domineering? You can disagree, no one is forcing you."

Jiang Youwei remained calm, then stared coldly at him and said indifferently:

"But if you think you can get away by fooling us, humph, you probably don't know what death means, do you?"

Upon hearing this, the man hurriedly and loudly defended himself:

"Miss Jiang, I didn't mean to deceive you; I simply misunderstood something before."

"If we're talking about signing a master-servant contract, I still need to think about it carefully..."

Chu Mo, who had just returned, overheard these words and quickly smiled:

"Senior, I heard your conversation. You don't need to think about it anymore. Anyway, I can't take too many people out."

After speaking, he bowed to the crowd around him, his expression polite but helpless.

"Seniors, you're putting me in a difficult position. If I really take so many people out, one wrong move could damage my foundation and jeopardize my path to immortality!"

Everyone present was shrewd; how could they not see through his act?

If one person can go out, how can bringing several others be the same?

How could the foundation be damaged?

That's clearly just an excuse!

Unfortunately, his only hope of survival now rests on him; who would dare to expose him?

They hurriedly and politely returned the greetings, their smiles humble and respectful.

"We will always remember your great righteousness, young master. We hope you will not despise us and will give us a chance to serve you."

"Yes, young master, you can't just stand by and watch us die. Once we get out of here, we'll be your most loyal servants, ready to eliminate anyone who gets in our way."

"Young master, although we are useless here, just think about it, once we get out, we'll have more than twenty Tribulation Transcending cultivators following us. How impressive would that be..."

With everyone's earnest and patient persuasion, they finally convinced Chu Mo to "change his mind".

Finally, he "reluctantly" decided to take away anyone willing to sign a master-servant contract with him.

As for those who were still struggling with their issues, two more people successfully came to their senses during this process.

In the end, only the ninth-tribulation cultivator Qiu Tianci, the old man surnamed Zhang, and an arrogant middle-aged woman remained.

No one was surprised by this.

For thousands of years, the Zhang family has always followed Qiu Tianci's lead, considering him their most loyal lackey.

As for the middle-aged beauty, she was Qiu Tianci's Daoist partner, and she herself only possessed the strength of the Fourth Tribulation.

But relying on Qiu Tianci's status, he has always been arrogant and disrespectful to everyone here.

It's just that she didn't dare to offend Jiang Youwei, otherwise she would have already been furious.

But not daring to provoke someone doesn't mean they don't have a temper.

At this moment, she was already simmering with boundless, overwhelming anger, with nowhere to vent it.

Chu Mo ignored them and was happily signing contracts with everyone.

For each person he signs a contract with, he needs to extract a drop of his essence and consciousness and integrate it into the other person's primordial spirit.

Once fused, it can never be removed, just like a cell contaminated by a virus; the only way to remove it is to cut it off entirely.

However, if a cultivator loses their primordial spirit, they are essentially useless.

Even for Chu Mo, it would take a long time to recover from the loss of all twenty-two people.

However, he enjoyed it.

Among them, cultivators at the fourth tribulation level or above make up the majority.

Among them, the old woman Xu Meiyu was an eighth-tribulation cultivator, and besides Wu Sansi, there was another seventh-tribulation cultivator named Wu Liancheng.

There are four cultivators at the sixth tribulation level, five at the fifth tribulation level, and the rest are all cultivators at the third tribulation level or above.

In addition, there's the monstrous senior sister whose strength rivals that of a ninth-tribulation cultivator.

This terrifying lineup, if deployed, could absolutely crush any region.

Even dealing with the Wuji Holy Land and the people behind it would not be a problem.

After the contract was signed, Chu Mo was about to turn and leave when the middle-aged woman finally couldn't hold back and snorted coldly:

"Young master, leave yourself a way out, so you can meet again in the future. I advise you not to be too greedy, lest..."

But before she could finish speaking, Jiang Youwei's expression changed.

Then he slapped it across the face.

Snap...

"Ah...you..."

The middle-aged woman screamed in agony as she was blasted tens of thousands of meters away.

Her once beautiful face was now a mangled mess, covered in blood, and her hair was disheveled.

Everyone was stunned; no one expected Jiang Youwei to act so decisively.

In the past, she was aloof and indifferent like a goddess from the heavens, making people dare not approach her.

But he is a kind person and will not bully others because of his terrifying fighting power.

But now...

She was beaten so badly just because someone gave her junior brother a warning?
