chasing after them, disregarding his own life.But there were people in black who obstructed him, and Fang Zhuang's steps couldn't keep up.The clash of swords rang out, startling birds into flight.The...A breath

Five breaths

Fifteen breaths

......

At the bottom of the Black Jade Pool, Wang Xuan sat cross-legged, eyes closed, cultivating and solidifying his realm.

Time keeps moving forward.

A cluster of golden lotuses bloomed at the bottom of the pond, and in the sky above the pond, there appeared a vision of a golden dragon.

Beside him, Nie Xiangsang lay at the bottom of the pool, bathed in moonlight as he watched the young man.

Because of the secret room's protection, she didn't have to endure the pain of heavy water anymore.

What she couldn't have possibly expected was that the boy had reached the bottom of the pool, which proved that the boy had at least once reached the state of "Nine-Nine Returning to One".

"Nine-nine returns to one is a legendary concept, I never thought anyone could actually achieve it, let alone this Wang Xuan."

Nie Xian Sang felt the pain all over his body. This time, he was truly careless. He never expected that the boy from three years ago had reached such a level.

She had many martial arts skills and the sect's treasures at her disposal, but now she was unable to use them.

"It's his own fault for being careless and falling into his trap, ending up in this deep water..."

Nie Xian Sang frowned, the weight pressing down on her was too much; she could no longer swim upward, and the young man wouldn't let her leave.

It's okay, she's protected under the Treasure Guardians, and they won't let anyone hurt her again.

At this time, a spiritual force emanated from Wang Xuan's brow: "Now tell me, what happened when you awakened your martial soul back then"

Wang Xuan opened his eyes, the visions of golden lotuses and mountains and seas... all vanished.

He completed the third cycle of Ninety-Nine Breaths Refining Body Realm, at this time his martial energy was firmly established at the first level of the Sea and Mountain Realm.

"Why should I tell you" Nie Xiangsang replied, his face pale and his spirit wavering.

Wang Xuan frowned slightly, looking at Nie Xiangsang's calm appearance. Apparently, being in the treasure trove, he was fearless.

"This treasure was obtained by powerful cultivators from your sect within the Star Palace Secret Realm, wasn't it Or perhaps it would be rejected by the secret realm itself. Perhaps there is some kind of connection between the Yuezhang Sect and the Star Palace."

Wang Xuan suddenly inexplicably transmitted a wave of mental energy.

Nie Xian Sang's eyes moved slightly, not understanding the young man's meaning. She did know that there was indeed some kind of relationship between the two sects.

The crescent moon pendant was indeed obtained by a senior member of the Yanyue Sect during a trial in the past.

But she wouldn't tell him.

Nie Xian Sang whispered faintly, her psychic power transmitting a voice: "I can tell you about my experience when my Martial Soul awakened, but you have to take me back to the Black Jade Pool."

"Now's the time to speak," Wang Xuan said with a faint smile, transmitting his voice.

Is he thinking of counterattacking him after leaving the heavy water

Nie Xian Sang frowned: "I can guarantee that after leaving the Heavy Water, I will not attack you."

Nie Xiangsang had a feeling that if she told the truth about what happened back then here at the bottom of the pool, the young man would leave on his own and she would be permanently trapped.

For what she experienced in the Vast Ruins when her Martial Soul awakened that year, she still finds it unbelievable to this day.

"Is it really going to work" Wang Xuan shook his head. He wasn't the lovestruck boy he used to be, so how could he believe her words

With his current advanced martial arts power at the Shan Hai Realm, he is not afraid of Nie Xian Sang's martial arts. However, the opponent's treasures are obviously extraordinary.

"How about we make a contract"

Wang Xuan took out a blank jade slip from his storage bag, pasted it on his forehead, and input an oath using his spiritual power.

"As soon as you sign this contract, I'll take you back to the surface. Otherwise, forget it."

Wang Xuan presented the jade slip to Nie Xian Sang, smiling gently.

Nie XianSang frowned, looking at the innocent smile of the young man, he was somewhat puzzled and curious about what kind of contract he had made.

Instantly, Nie Xiangsang used his spiritual energy to probe inside the jade slip.

This wasn't a problem, until after he finished reading the contents of the Jade Scroll. Nie Xiangsang, who had previously looked as cold and aloof as an immortal, suddenly became furious.

The content of the contract is: I, Nie Xiangsang, swear by my demonic heart that from this moment on, I willingly become Wang Xuan's maidservant. I will wholeheartedly serve him and never do anything to harm or betray him. I will love and protect him with all my being, putting his interests above my own and obeying his every command...

After that, a bunch of restrictive covenants were imposed on her. Nie Xiangsang found it unbearable to look at, never expecting there to be such shameless contracts in the world. And Wang Xuan's only oath was: To do what a master should!

Nie Xian Sang's stunning face revealed an unexplainable shame, truly a victim of youthful arrogance.

"Do you think I could make a Blood Oath with such a contract"

Nie Xian's heart surged with anger. She, the dignified first disciple of her sect, one of the four great prodigies of Xuanwu Country, never expected to be treated like this, humiliated and made a fool of.

Wang Xuan touched his chin and tilted his head: "That's right, then I'll go. You stay here, and I'll come back later to move some boulders down."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Wang Xuan's figure moved, and he was truly about to go up the mountain.

"No!"

Nie Xian Sang's heart tightened, and she hurriedly transmitted her voice: "Let's revise the contract, it's too harsh."

"No room for negotiation." Wang Xuan swam upstream.

Nie Xian Sang gritted her silver teeth, utterly helpless. She couldn't get past him, and she feared that at this point, all the testers within this secret realm might be unable to reach the bottom of the Black Jade Pool.

One is trapped and dead at the bottom of this waterless, pitch-black pool, and the other has made a shameless vow.

"Okay, alright, but you have to add a clause that prohibits sharing this contract with anyone else."

Seeing the young man about to venture beyond the realm of spirit, Nie Xiangsang hurriedly transmitted a voice.

It is said that he has offended many people and families. He might die one day, and the oath would be void then.

Nie Xian Sang's heart was filled with both hatred and a desperate attempt to comfort herself.

Wang Xuan smiled, then turned around and walked down towards the returning tourists with a cold face.

He wanted to know about the events of that year, it was impossible that Nie Xian Sang had truly been suppressed at the bottom of the pool.

Okay, our blood pact.

Wang Xuan's brow flew out a drop of his natal essence blood, drifting into the jade slip.

Sign it quickly, he's in pain even being here in this heavy water. He's not a real stone or iron man, so he can feel pain too.

Nie Xian's brows shot forth a drop of scarlet essence blood, which floated into the jade slip.

Two people recited oaths of their own heart demons.

'Om!'

Jade decrees, blood radiance bursts forth. Contract power forms complex runes, seeping into each individual's body. Once anyone betrays the contract, their heart demon will backlash, leading to a complete ruin of their martial way.

Wang Xuan put away the jade slip and said solemnly, "Rest assured, since Wang has signed the contract, he will never go back on his word. He will take you away."

Nie Xian Sang: "Shameless."

Wang Xuan suddenly went upstream, Nie Xian Sang hurriedly reached out to grab the corner of the boy's clothes.

At an astonishing speed, Wang Xuan brought Nie Xiangsang out of the Black Jade Pool in less than a hundred breaths. However, the moment their heads broke the surface of the heavy water, various radiant attacks descended upon them.

The dozens of Yin Feng Gu disciples surrounding the Black Jade Pool were extremely excited, unleashing their various martial arts attacks towards the two who had charged out of the water.

A hundred-blast wind palm!

Return to the Yin Fist!

Earth-shattering hammer!

Various martial arts and soul skills attacked the two people. Palm shadow punches were dense, with a warhammer as large as a stone slab. The shadows of sticks and blades were dense and numerous...Bronze fist shadows struck one after another, bombarding the youth relentlessly with a barrage of attacks."Oh!" Many young women in the square gasped in surprise.For many years, he was shaken by the s...
