“What!”
The woman’s expression immediately changed as she cried out involuntarily.
“That’s impossible!”
Once a soul contract was established, her Primordial Spirit would be tied to the other party.
Not only was her every move restricted by the other party’s will, but once the other party died, she would also lose her life!
When she signed the soul contract, she would be at the mercy of the other party for the rest of her life.
How could she, a dignified demon cultivator master, place her life in the hands of others, let alone a Bright Aperture Stage cultivator?
“It’s the only way to reassure me.”
Lin Shen narrowed his eyes, and a cold glint appeared in them.
“It’s fine if you don’t agree. Then you can die here!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the six clones in the surroundings took a step forward in unison. The talisman sword in their hands moved closer to the woman, and the fierce sword aura that surged over from all directions made her expression change in shock.
Seeing Lin Shen’s aggressive gaze, the woman was devastated.
She wanted to fight Lin Shen to the death, but the probability of her perishing together with Lin Shen was really slim, not to mention that she was surrounded by his clones.
She still had a huge grudge to avenge. She didn’t want to die here!
Lin Shen looked at the woman calmly and didn’t rush her.
After a long silence, the woman gritted her teeth and squeezed out a sentence.
“Alright, I’ll do it!”
She had yet to take revenge, so she didn’t want to die here.
Lin Shen’s eyes flickered slightly.
The idea of forcing the demon cultivator to establish a soul contract was just a flash of inspiration.
He didn’t expect it to succeed.
After all, everyone who could become a cultivator master was proud and resilient.
How could she be willing to be manipulated by others?
She would probably rather throw away her life than submit!
Unexpectedly, the woman agreed in the end.
Seeing her expression, Lin Shen seemed to be deep in thought. He nodded and said, “Let’s establish a soul contract.”
The woman bit her lip and silently chanted the soul contract incantation. She pulled out a wisp of soul and floated it toward Lin Shen. The latter reached out and let it go through his forehead.
In the next second, Lin Shen suddenly felt as if something was branded in the depths of his mind.
Looking at the woman in front of him, he suddenly had a feeling that her life and death were in his hands.
The soul contract was complete!
“What’s your name?” Lin Shen asked.
“Miao You,” the woman said in a low voice.
Lin Shen nodded slightly and asked, “Who was the cultivator master who fought with you previously?”
Miao You looked at Lin Shen in surprise and vaguely understood why Lin Shen had guessed that she was seriously injured previously.
“That person is called Lu Wansong. He’s the subordinate of one of my enemies!”
At the mention of the word “enemy”, Miao You’s eyes flashed with intense hatred.
Lin Shen saw this and understood. He could vaguely guess the reason why Miao You had submitted to him.
“Is he also a demon?”
“That’s right.”
“What’s his cultivation level?”
“He’s at Level 3 of the Spirit Nurturing Stage!”
Lin Shen’s expression became a little solemn.
There were a total of nine levels in the Spirit Nurturing Stage, so that man was almost at the mid-phase of that stage, and his strength couldn’t be underestimated.
Wu Ji, who had fought with him back then, was only at the first level of the Spirit Nurturing Stage according to Shen Zening.
Seeing that Lin Shen was deep in thought and not saying anything, Miao You thought that he was afraid, and a gloating look appeared on her face.
“Lu Wansong is currently searching for me everywhere. If he sees you with me, he’ll definitely treat you as my accomplice. When that happens, I’m afraid you won’t be able to deal with him with your strength. You’ll definitely suffer!”
In Miao You’s opinion, although Lin Shen was only at the Bright Aperture Stage, his combat strength was as good as a first-level Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivator master.
Even if he couldn’t defeat Lu Wansong, he was more than capable of protecting himself.
Of course, he had to suffer a little.
After being forced to sign a soul contract, it was impossible for Miao You not to have any resentment. She couldn’t wait to see Lin Shen suffer!
Hearing this, Lin Shen glanced at her and smiled.
“You’ve reminded me. If Lu Wansong really finds me, you and I will escape separately. 1 think he must be more interested in you than me.”
Miao You’s expression froze.
The restrictions of the soul contract only worked on her.
If Lin Shen died, she wouldn’t be able to live alone. But if she died, Lin Shen wouldn’t be harmed at all.
If they really met Lu Wansong, it was indeed a good idea to abandon her as bait and escape alone.
Miao You felt like she had shot herself in the foot.
Just as she was feeling depressed, she saw Lin Shen throw something at her.
Miao You involuntarily reached out to catch it. When she took a closer look, her eyes widened.
“Sunlight jade!”
As a demon cultivator, Miao You was experienced and knowledgeable.
Naturally, she knew what it could do.
“Hurry up and recover from your injuries,” Lin Shen said calmly.
Miao You had been seriously injured. When she had finally recovered some of her spiritual essence, she consumed all of it in the battle with Lin Shen.
Anyone from Xuandu Mountain would be able to kill her right now.
It wasn’t easy for him to subdue a powerful combat power at the cultivator master level. Lin Shen didn’t want her to die so quickly.
In any case, with the soul contract, even if Miao You completely recovered, it was impossible for her to do anything detrimental to him.
As for Lu Wansong, Lin Shen wasn’t too worried.
Although cultivators at the third level of the Spirit Nurturing Stage were powerful, he still had trump cards to deal with them.
The Amaze the World clone had already nurtured its spiritual essence for another three months.
And he had 75 meridians now… Just the thought of it made one shudder!
After recovering from her shock, Miao You looked at Lin Shen with a complicated expression, but she didn’t say anything. She raised her head and swallowed the sunlight jade before sitting down to meditate..
