"What? We need to sign a blood oath?" Jiang Wang's eyes widened.
Blood Oath Pact!
As the name suggests, it is a contract written in blood.
Once a blood oath is signed, one will be bound by the rules of the blood oath, and everything will be under the master's control. Any act that disobeys the master's orders will be severely punished.
Jiang Hao narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "My Jiang family has been servants for generations. Even though I, Jiang Hao, am the head of the Jiang family, I can only be driven by others. If I can master the Blood Curse Contract, that is true bloodline resonance. Who can command me then?"
He paused for a moment.
He stared intently at Jiang Wang and asked, "Are you sure you're willing to sign a blood oath contract with me?"
Jiang Wang nodded.
Jiang Hao then showed a satisfied expression and said, "In that case, I will help you lift the curse."
Rumble!
A ball of flame appeared out of thin air and landed between the two.
"I want you to shed your blood on the blood oath."
"From this day forward, I will be your only master!"
Jiang Wang gritted his teeth and nodded.
He immediately forced out a drop of his essence blood, which merged with the flames.
Buzz!
The flames suddenly exploded, turning into a sky full of sparks that fell towards Jiang Wang and Jiang Chen, engulfing the two of them.
A strange ripple spread through the void.
Jiang Chen frowned as he watched the sparks dissipate.
Within these sparks, there seems to be a peculiar power at play, one that is impossible to fathom.
While I was wondering...
Jiang Hao's voice echoed in her mind: "This is a blood oath contract. Once you sign the blood oath contract, your life will belong to me. As long as you do not harbor any disloyalty towards me, I can protect you and grant you a lifetime of wealth and honor."
"Um?"
Jiang Chen's pupils suddenly contracted.
He keenly sensed that the power of this blood oath seemed to be able to influence a person's temperament.
Is this the power of a curse?
Jiang Chen pondered this to himself.
Jiang Hao's figure reappeared before him. He gently patted Jiang Chen's shoulder and said encouragingly, "You've worked harder than before, but the path of cultivation requires a down-to-earth approach. Continuously improving your strength is the key."
“Yes, Grandpa.” Jiang Chen nodded.
Jiang Hao gave him some more instructions before leading Jiang Wang deeper into the mansion.
A moment later.
Jiang Hao stood in the center of the mansion, where a huge pool stood.
The pool was surrounded by runic markings.
"This is a sealing formation."
"With Jiang Wang's current cultivation level, there's no way he can break through this great formation in a short time."
A playful smile appeared on Jiang Hao's face: "By the time you break this formation, it'll be too late..."
After saying that.
Jiang Hao closed his eyes and took out a jade pendant.
A mysterious power was injected into the jade pendant, causing it to tremble violently and emit a crackling sound.
Following closely behind...
Bang!
The entire sealing formation shattered instantly.
Jiang Wang was stunned, staring at Jiang Hao in astonishment: "Grandpa, why did you destroy the formation? Don't tell me you're not going to take me as your disciple anymore?"
"You're too eager for quick success!"
Jiang Hao shook his head, sighed, and said, "To master the Blood Sacrifice Banner, one must go through countless near-death experiences. Out of a hundred martial artists, perhaps only one will succeed in mastering the Blood Sacrifice Banner."
“But…” Jiang Wang cried out unwillingly.
Jiang Hao waved his hand to stop Jiang Wang from speaking, and continued, "You've just broken through to the Core Formation Realm, and your realm isn't yet consolidated. Take some time to rest and recuperate! Once your realm is completely stable, I will teach you the secret technique for using the Blood Sacrifice Banner. Then you can try to wield it!"
"Okay!" Jiang Wang had no choice but to agree.
Jiang Hao smiled with satisfaction, and a few wisps of flame appeared at his fingertips, burning the blood sacrifice banner.
The blood sacrifice banner was burned to ashes, eventually turning into a pile of black ash that drifted away.
Jiang Hao glanced at the ruins, shook his head slightly, and said calmly, "Although the Blood Sacrifice Banner is a Saint-level spiritual treasure, its power has plummeted due to its age."
After saying this, Jiang Hao left.
After he left...
Several figures suddenly emerged from the previously abandoned secret chamber.
These people were all from the Jiang clan.
"Greetings, Young Master!"
Everyone knelt respectfully on the ground.
Jiang Wang nodded proudly, his gaze falling on Jiang Chen beside him. He grinned and said, "So? Brother, I didn't lie to you, did I?"
"Thank you very much, Brother Jiang Wang," Jiang Chen said, clasping his hands in gratitude.
He hadn't expected Jiang Wang's plan to be so meticulous.
This blood sacrifice banner actually hides a curse, and Jiang Wang had already set up a blood curse contract inside it. Once the blood curse contract is signed, his life and wealth will be under Jiang Hao's control.
Jiang Chen was filled with mixed emotions.
This guy is really cautious!
You're too kind.
Jiang Wang chuckled and said, "The blood curse within the Blood Sacrifice Banner can only last for three days. After three days, the blood curse contract will expire, and you must immediately abandon the Blood Sacrifice Banner. Otherwise, once the blood curse is activated, you will be devoured and die."
"good!"
The two reached an agreement.
Then...
The two said goodbye and left.
After leaving the city lord's mansion, the two headed straight for the desolate ancient mountains.
The Ancient Wilderness Mountain Range stretches endlessly, occupying the southernmost part of the entire Azure Sky Kingdom. The mountains here are extremely treacherous, shrouded in miasma and teeming with poisonous insects year-round. Even ordinary martial arts masters dare not venture into the core area of the Ancient Wilderness Mountain Range.
Outside a canyon.
Two figures, a man and a woman, converged together.
The woman wore a green dress, with a slender waist and skin as white as snow. Her black hair was styled in an updo, making her appear exceptionally beautiful and ethereal, like a fairy descending to earth. The man standing beside her, on the other hand, wore a red robe, was handsome and masculine, with bulging muscles all over his body, as solid as a rock.
This man is none other than Blood Robe, the commander of the Blood Robe Guard!
In front of them, a small snake was coiled in the grass.
This little snake was golden all over and was as big as a baby's fist.
The snake flicked its tongue, its cold gaze fixed on a man and a woman.
"Young master, this little thing seems to be spying on us!" The woman in the green dress frowned slightly and whispered.
Upon hearing the woman in the green dress's voice, the golden snake suddenly raised its head, opened its blood-red mouth, and revealed its sharp fangs.
Whoosh!
Jiang Wang swayed and stood in front of the woman in the green dress.
A rich, blood-red light emanated from his body.
Swish, swish, swish!
Streams of blood-red light shot into the sky, each beam containing immense power, crashing down upon the small snake. Simultaneously, terrifying lightning crackled within the crimson light.
Crack!
Arcs of electricity crackled and stained the crimson light silver, striking the small snake.
However.
A truly astonishing scene unfolded...
The snake's scales were incredibly tough, and they actually withstood the blood-red light.
hiss!
The small snake hissed and suddenly stretched out its body, coiling towards the two of them.
The speed is extremely fast.
Neither of them were ordinary people, so they were naturally not afraid of the small snake and immediately took action.
"Get back there..."
Blood-Clad Roared, his fists spitting out crimson light as he slammed them hard into the little snake's body.
