Cultivation: I Have Studied Abroad in the Modern World-Chapter 454 - 248: Surrendered Too Early, One Finger _2
Chapter 454: Chapter 248: Surrendered Too Early, One Finger _2
No need to turn around, Zheng Fa knew it was the loyal commentator, Blood River Ancestor, explaining.
Indeed, the Eight-Snake Giant showed no signs of injury, merely retreating with seven snake heads.
Apparently, having calmed down, he was utterly unwilling to fight to the death anymore.
"In this act, they have already damaged their Daoist cultivation, but two Dharma Bodies, regardless of cost, want to escape, it’s indeed difficult to stop."
Blood River Ancestor said, his words carrying a touch of gloom. Zheng Fa looked at Blood River Ancestor, hearing him explain:"Dharma Bodies are extremely hard to kill..."
However, Xie Qingxue and Wuzhi did not just sit by, they seemed to also understand the difficulty of the Dharma Bodies. As if they had planned earlier, they no longer cared about the distant Yin Yang Rakshasa, but surrounded the nearby Eight... Seven-Snake Giant.
Master Cheng Kong joined them, and in a moment, kindly chopped off three snake heads, reducing his burden by half.
The male and female transformed from Yin Yang Rakshasa merged back into one, blending into the darkness.
This darkness seemed to possess a mystical quality, rendering his presence elusive and untraceable.
Seeing the situation nearly settled, Zheng Fa also relaxed his mind, his gaze towards Blood River Ancestor carrying a hint of irony.
This person, from being silent to chattering non-stop, was indeed too flexible.
Yet, Blood River Ancestor maintained a solemn face, seemingly oblivious to the meaning in Zheng Fa’s gaze.
"Seeing Great Freedom Demon Ancestor cannot be resurrected, thinking of abandoning the dark and seeking the light?"
Zheng Fa couldn’t help but ask.
"Of course not!" Blood River Ancestor’s words were firm, "I have not betrayed the Saint Ancestor!"
"..."
"Once the Saint Ancestor is resurrected, I’ll wait for him to save me. If he can’t be resurrected... I can only reluctantly join the Immortal Sect..."
Zheng Fa nodded inwardly; Blood River Ancestor was indeed clear-headed. He was currently trapped inside this Lifebound Flying Sword, suppressed within the Jiushan Realm.
Previously uncooperative, he was still hoping for the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor to come back to life and rescue him.
Now, seeing the tide turning against him, he didn’t know how many years he would be suppressed, perhaps even forever without a chance of freedom.
Naturally, he was now willing to cooperate.
"Sign it."
Zheng Fa took out a stack of contracts he had prepared earlier, handing them to Blood River Ancestor with a smile.
"Spiritual Treasure Experimentation Agreement."
"Demon Sect’s Skill Cooperation Agreement."
"Demon Sect Defense Course Instructor Hiring Agreement."
"Confidentiality Agreement..."
"Voluntary Waiver of Bodily Freedom Agreement..."
"..."
Blood River Ancestor’s face grew darker as he read, eventually unable to help saying, "This is different from what was said before..."
If he signed all these things,
Not only would he be restricted everywhere in the Jiushan Realm,
He would also have to teach students how to deal with Demon Sect Disciples,
Occasionally sacrificing his body... his Lifebound Immortal Sword, for Zheng Fa and others to study...
This was to empty him from the inside out.
"The price of surrendering before, and the price now, can they be the same?"
Zheng Fa said softly.
Blood River Ancestor bit his teeth, appearing somewhat reluctant to sign these indenture contracts.
But...
"If it’s any later, that would be another price..."
Zheng Fa’s words brought an infinite struggle to his face.
But Zheng Fa no longer paid him any attention, only gazing at the light screen above his head. In the light screen, the Eight-Snake Giant had now become a very normal No-Snake Giant...
The snake head removal surgery by the three outstanding disciples of the Five Sects was very successful, quick and neat, though the patient didn’t die very peacefully.
Even Zheng Fa felt that these three still had some strength left.
"Signed!"
As the No-Snake Giant fell, Blood River Ancestor seemed to fully understand the situation, no longer hesitating, quickly imprinting his Divine Soul into the contracts.
Zheng Fa also couldn’t help but respect him a bit more; this choice was indeed tough, one side being suppressed for unknown years, only waiting for the Demon Ancestor to be revived or for Zheng Fa to encounter trouble.
Otherwise, it was working for Zheng Fa, with some freedom and opportunities.
It seems that Blood River Ancestor was not someone who liked to passively wait.
Even from Blood River Ancestor’s face, he could faintly see a sentence—Just consider it another Saint Ancestor!
Not to say, this self-consolation thought seemed quite effective...
Zheng Fa nodded slightly at Blood River Ancestor, and directly asked, "Will this No-Snake Giant resurrect?"
"Yes, but it will take a long time... The Saint Ancestor himself hasn’t been resurrected yet, they will take who knows how long to come back to life."
"So you were also unwilling?"
"Nobody is willing..." Blood River Ancestor shook his head, "It is said that with Blood River in place, we are akin to immortal, but being in the Blood River for a long time torments the mind, and there are also many waiting for Divinity Transformation ahead."
"Hmm?"
"Tianhe Venerable killed some, uh, killed a batch."
"...No wonder that Yin Yang Rakshasa ran so fast."
"Yin Yang Rakshasa, indeed, are the best at preserving their life among my Demon Sect..." Blood River Ancestor also expressed approval, clearly envious of Yin Yang Rakshasa who not only didn’t lose their life but even retained their freedom.
Zheng Fa also looked towards the gradually dispersing darkness, in the darkness, the figure of Yin Yang Rakshasa was already gone.
But the voice of Yin Yang Rakshasa came through!
"Netherworld Immortal, have you also arrived?"
"Qin Mu! What are you doing!"
"You’ve betrayed the Saint Ancestor?"
These three sentences came through, making even Blood River Ancestor frozen.
Was Yin Yang Rakshasa, right after betraying a teammate, betrayed by their own people?
In the darkness, the sound of footsteps, neither hurried nor slow, came calmly.
A person gradually emerged from the darkness.
Approaching closer, Zheng Fa noticed that this man had gentle eyes, dressed in plain clothes immaculate from any dust, his aura light and profound.
Had it not been for a blood-colored flag wrapped around with deadly aura he was holding, he would appear more like a Demoted Immortal than anyone else present.
"Netherworld Immortal..."
Beside him, Blood River, separated by a world, also lowered his voice slightly.
