"Come out with us."
"Yes, Master."
The next instant, the two people and the puppet returned to the small courtyard that had been isolated from the outside world by spiritual power.
Traces of their kneeling remain on the bluestone slabs.
As soon as the scholar puppet landed, it began to draw on the ground using a special kind of spiritual sand, as instructed by Ruan Tang.
Its movements were fluid and fast, leaving only afterimages. A complex, ancient, and mysterious formation quickly took shape.
Ruan Tang placed the five elemental stones on the five nodes of the formation.
She pulled Yan Yu along and walked into the center of the formation.
“Stand still,” she whispered in his ear, standing on tiptoe, “No matter what happens later, don’t resist.”
Yan Yu's Adam's apple bobbed, and he gripped her slightly cool hand tightly, nodding solemnly.
Ruan Tang was the first to release her water elemental power.
Yan Yu followed suit and released his metal-type power.
As two distinct yet subtly resonant forces were injected, the entire "Five Elements Soul Contract" formation suddenly lit up!
Five-colored light flowed and formed a dazzling light curtain that enveloped the two of them.
"Force out the essence blood from between your eyebrows!" Ruan Tang shouted softly.
The two exerted their power simultaneously, and two drops of crimson blood essence emerged from between their brows, slowly merging in the air.
At that moment, a vast, majestic, and otherworldly power descended from the heavens!
That power pierced through Yan Yu's mental barrier, transforming into a blessing light containing the laws of heaven and earth, enveloping the drop of fused essence blood.
The contract is complete!
The essence blood that had merged with the power of the Heavenly Dao split in two, turning into two streams of light that "whooshed" into the space between the two people's eyebrows.
Deep within their souls, an indelible mark of companionship was imprinted, belonging only to each other.
In an instant, an unprecedented and wonderful feeling welled up in Yan Yu's heart.
It was a feeling that couldn't be described in words.
He "heard" her heartbeat, and it merged with his own, becoming one with her, inseparable.
He "saw" her sea of consciousness, and the immense joy that followed the settling of the dust was like warm sunshine, instantly dispelling all the gloom deep within his soul.
He finally... caught her.
He embraced her soul completely.
This feeling... is simply wonderful.
………………………………
Meanwhile, thousands of miles away.
In the basement of an abandoned house in Kyoto.
An old man with completely white hair suddenly sprang up from his chair, his cloudy eyes flashing with a terrifying light!
He grabbed a bronze mirror from the table, and a light suddenly appeared on the mirror before going out.
He stared intently at the spot where the light had vanished, and roared at the shadowy figure behind him:
"north!"
"Go north!"
"Bring that thing back to me at all costs!" (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
