Chapter 31 Soul Contract

Thinking of this possibility, Su Qingwu felt horrified.

She had a vague feeling in her heart that this matter was closely related to the sect mission she had accepted.

If those senior brothers and sisters had the same experience as her, then it would be reasonable for them to give up the mission directly.

Just as Su Qingwu's thoughts were racing, a woman's laughter suddenly rang in his ears.

The moment she heard the voice, her hair stood on end and she immediately looked around vigilantly.

After practicing, she could see at night, and there was no one else in the room except her.

However, the sound seemed to be right next to my ear, very close.

After joining the sect for several months, Su Qingwu learned a lot of things and knew that there were ghost cultivators in this world.

But this is the sect's base, and it is protected by formations. Under normal circumstances, ghost cultivators have no way of breaking in.

Unless it is attached to a treasure and a contract is signed with the sect's disciples, it may be possible to hide from the sect's protective formation.

At this moment, Su Qingwu recalled the voice of Qingxincao that he heard in the courtyard of Shanlan Peak.

Could the strange things that happened tonight be caused by something buried underground?

As I was thinking this, a voice that could not be distinguished between joy and anger suddenly reached my ears.

"Little girl, how about making a soul contract with me?"

"who?"

Su Qingwu was nervous and kept looking around, but still found nothing.

The voice rang out again.

"Don't look for it. You can't see mine for the time being."

"Who are you?"

"You should know my name, Su Wen."

"It was you. Was it you who caused me to have a nightmare earlier?"

"Well, I'm sorry to make you suffer for no reason, but this is the only way I can test you."

Su Qingwu knew that the other party was in the dark while he was in the light, and he was obviously at a disadvantage. After calming himself down, he carefully asked:

"What do you want to test?"

"See if you have the ability to sign a contract with me."

"......"

Su Qingwu was silent for a moment, and then the other party continued:

"I know this happened a little suddenly, but I don't have much time left. So far, you are the only one who has passed the test."

Su Qingwu frowned slightly. "If you are talking about the experience in a dream, I don't think there is anything special about my performance. How can I say that I have passed the test?"

"You are the only one who held on to the end. Those people before you either cried and begged for mercy or cursed and yelled. They were extremely bad people. Are you willing to sign a soul contract with me?"

"Sorry, I don't have that idea."

"I swear to heaven that I will not do you any harm."

The oath to heaven can bind all living beings and ghosts. To a certain extent, this can indeed prove the other party's sincerity.

It’s just that Su Qingwu was unwilling to sign a contract with an unknown entity.

She was about to continue to refuse, but she didn't expect that this person started to cheat.

"If you don't agree, I will keep pestering you until you agree!"

Su Qingwu: “…”

She felt helpless. The opponent was stronger than her, and if he really did that, she would not be able to stop him for a while.

Unless the matter is reported to the sect deacon or elders.

However, if this person keeps following her, she will most likely not be able to find the opportunity, and will instead anger the other party and bring about a murderous disaster.

At first, she took the risk because she had a gut feeling that accepting the mission from Shanlan Peak would be beneficial to her.

Now it seems that this intuition is wrong?

Or does it mean that this person of unknown origin will be able to help her in the future and is a friend rather than an enemy?

Thinking of this, she tried to ask a question.

"Since you want to sign a soul contract with me, you should at least tell me your origins, right?"

Su Wen immediately said, "I was once an elder of the Danxia Sect. Because of a secret treasure, I was framed and became a prisoner. I died with hatred in my heart."

This was not the first time that Su Qingwu had heard of the name Danxia School.

The ten major forces in Dongxuanzhou are divided into seven sects, two schools and one school, and the last school is Danxia.

In the past, in Qingmufang City, she met Liu Yin, a Qi-refining cultivator from this force.

Retracting his thoughts, Su Qingwu continued to ask:

"The scene in your dream, is it something you experienced personally?"

"That's right, why don't you guess how I died."

"Is it... Ling Chi?"

"More than that, the thieves cut off my meridians and forced me to take the magic pill. I was corroded by the magic energy day and night. After a long time, my flesh and blood rotted and I was unrecognizable. Whether it was the knife punishment or the ice punishment, it was just one of the parts."

Hearing this, Su Qingwu remained silent for a long time.

If all this is true, then feeling resentment after death is indeed a perfectly normal thing.

"The courtyard at Shanlan Peak...someone used to live there. I'm sure you recognize it, senior?"

When Su Wen mentioned this, his voice suddenly became much colder.

"Of course I recognize him. He is the descendant of that treacherous villain. It's a good thing for him to die like this!"

Su Qingwu was a little surprised.

"I wonder who the traitor who harmed our predecessor is?"

Su Wen said with hatred: "He is also an elder of the Danxia Sect. After so many years, if Ning Feng is still alive, he must have ascended to the upper realm!"

Su Qingwu was puzzled. "Since the other party is an elder of this sect, why would the younger generation join the Qianzhi Sect?"

"Humph, there are more than one or two descendants of that family. It's normal for some of them to be living outside. But Ning Yuan is not a good person. Do you know why I appeared in Qianzhi Sect?"

"I'd like to hear the details."

"After I died in the past, my soul was drawn by an invisible force into the secret treasure, thus avoiding the fate of being torn apart.

Ning Feng had never obtained the secret treasure, so he passed it down from generation to generation and told the younger generation about it. Ning Yuan got the information from somewhere and found the exact location of the secret treasure.

I guess the most likely possibility is that he hit it by mistake. After he saw the secret treasure, he immediately tried to recognize it as his master, but of course he failed. However, he did not give up. Guess what he did?"

Su Qingwu frowned and thought for a moment, then slowly shook his head.

"I know very little about how treasures recognize their owners, so I can't guess."

"He used a blood sacrifice! He captured an innocent mortal and drenched him in blood!"

"In the end...it probably didn't work?"

"Of course, it's a pity that I had just woken up at that time and had no strength at all. My recovery was slow, otherwise he wouldn't have survived until today!"

After hearing this, Su Qingwu had already guessed what would happen next.

"Although Ning Yuan did not claim the treasure as its master, he still brought it back to the sect. Later, he found that the treasure was different, but he was reluctant to throw it away, so he buried it in the courtyard where he lived?"

"Yes, I am now a ghost cultivator, and I have no use for that secret treasure. If you agree to sign a soul contract with me, I can give the treasure directly to you."

Su Qingwu said calmly:

"There is no such thing as a free lunch. You sacrificed your life for the secret treasure. Now it is the place where your soul rests. Do you think I will believe you if you just give it to someone else?"

Su Wen smiled bitterly.

"I really didn't lie to you. I've said before that I don't have much time left. I can't stay in the secret treasure forever. After all, it's not something that can nourish the soul.

Although my strength is slowly recovering, my soul is becoming increasingly fragile. This may sound contradictory, but it is the truth.

Only by signing a soul contract with a monk can you prevent your soul from continuing to weaken. Believe it or not, I have no ill will towards you."
