While Yi Wansu’s attitude toward Ye Fan had improved slightly, she was not so kind to everyone else!
As she spoke, Yi Wansu held a battle saber in her hand and quickly walked toward Ye Zhong, intending to chop off his head.
Only by doing this could she completely kill a Martial Saint Realm expert!
Otherwise, the recovery ability of a Martial Saint Realm expert was extremely terrifying. As long as there was a breath left, even though Ye Zhong’s heart was already so severely damaged, given enough time, he could still heal himself!
“Vermilion Bird Seat Head, wait a moment!”
Seeing Yi Wansu about to make her move, Pang Hai hurriedly flashed over to block her, “Vermilion Bird Seat Head, please think thrice! It’s true that Ye Zhong has fallen into our hands, and killing him would be as easy as lifting a finger! But you must consider another issue, once Ye Zhong is killed, the Pavilion Master will inevitably become the target of the Ancient Martial Ye Family’s attention. If the Ye Family Ancestor is alerted, I’m afraid the Pavilion Master might be in mortal danger!”
Ye Changfeng also frowned from the side and said, “Elder Pang has a point. If this bastard dies, the secret of Ye Fan’s bloodline will be completely exposed, and the Ancient Martial Ye Family will definitely take action with all their might!”
As the head of the Vermilion Bird Seat, Yi Wansu was naturally not dumb. With a moment’s thought, she immediately understood the reasoning behind it.
Even though Yi Wansu had broken through to the strength of the Martial Saint Realm with Ye Fan’s assistance, Tianji Pavilion’s internal discord was well-known. If they faced the Ancient Martial Ye Family, they might still be difficult to withstand!
“Damn it!”
Although Yi Wansu wished she could devour Ye Zhong alive, she knew that now Ye Zhong indeed could not be killed.
Ye Zhong, being controlled by Ye Fan, listened to the conversation of the few and instantly understood the reason.
Just a moment ago he was in utter despair, but now he instantly began to gloat, “Heh heh! Smart of you… Ye Fan, you’d better let me go right now! In recognition of your understanding of the situation, I’ll try to be as gentle as possible when I’m digging out your heart, leaving you with a chance to live! You might become a mere mortal, but at least surviving wouldn’t be too bad, huh?”
“Rest assured, my word is my bond! Otherwise, if you kill me, your Ancient Martial Ye Family will immediately take action, and the Ye Family Ancestor himself will step in. You definitely wouldn’t stand a chance of surviving, right?”
“Anyway, since you dare not kill me, how about we both take a step back?”
With the support of the Ancient Martial Ye Family behind him, Ye Zhong felt his spine straighten with pride at this moment.
Damn! Why didn’t I think of that just now?
With the Ancient Martial Ye Family backing me, what’s there to fear?
Haha!
I’m not going to die after all!
Hmph! Just let me go, and I will immediately command the Ancient Martial Ye Family’s enforcement team to annihilate the Ye Family… The Nine Dragons Bloodline on Ye Fan’s body must fall into my hands!
“Shut up!” Yi Wansu, annoyed by Ye Zhong’s words, had Qi Force surge through her hand and directly chopped off Ye Zhong’s other ear, “Don’t provoke me! I can’t kill you, but I can make you wish you were dead!”
“Ah! Gods be damned, you filthy woman… you damn…” Ye Zhong was nearly driven to madness!
Great!
Now both ears are gone, perfectly symmetrical!
Ye Zhong had intended to continue his tirade, but when he saw Ye Fan approaching with a chilling face and those piercing soul-deep eyes, Ye Zhong instantly shuddered, “Second Grandpa, you’re right! We indeed can’t kill you, after all, I still need to grow to be strong enough to confront the Ancient Martial Ye Family… What I need is time!”
“But not killing you doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of other ways to deal with you!” Ye Fan said wickedly as he glanced at Ye Zhong, “Second Grandpa, have you ever heard of a Soul Contract?”
A Soul Contract?
Upon hearing these four words, everyone present couldn’t help but be startled!

Yi Wansu’s eyes flashed with a gleam of excitement as she said, “Ye Fan, are you talking about that legendary, indeed mysterious secret technique that binds life and death?”
Ye Fan nodded, “I happen to know a little!”
Just last night, Ye Fan had formed a soul contract with the Netherworld Blood Worm!
“The Pavilion Master is mighty!”
“Master is too awesome!”
Pang Hai and Yamada Eiko instantly breathed a sigh of relief. As top-tier ancient martial arts experts, they were generally aware of the concept of soul contracts. Although they hadn’t witnessed it personally, they knew that such things were extremely mysterious and possessed infinite power!
“Stop joking around! Who do you think you are, Ye Fan? Haha… Soul contracts, those have been lost for a thousand years. You think you know how to form one? Dream on… There’s no way you can use a contract to bind me…” Ye Zhong was still rambling when Ye Fan made his move!
A drop of fresh blood emerged from his fingertip. At the same time, another wave of Qi Force extracted a few drops of heart meridian blood from Ye Zhong’s chest wound, then quickly formed an ancient and mysterious formation pattern, and slapped it onto Ye Zhong’s head.
After a streak of flowing light appeared, a faint mark also dissipated into Ye Zhong’s skin!
Immediately after, Ye Fan retracted the Red Silk Spirit Body, allowing Ye Zhong to regain his freedom!
“That’s it?” Ye Zhong looked bewildered. He didn’t notice anything unusual about his body or spirit, “Ye Fan, you dare to let me go? Aren’t you afraid I’ll still want to kill you…”
Phew!
Just as the word “kill” left Ye Zhong’s mouth, his body staggered violently, and he suddenly spurted out a mouthful of fresh blood!
Moreover, deep inside his brain where the soul resided, it felt as if a strong flame was searing it, causing Ye Zhong to roll on the ground clutching his head in agony, “Ah… My head… What… what is happening?”
Ye Fan said with a faint smile, “Second Grandpa, this is a soul contract! From this moment on, you are my servant. You shall not perform any action that harms me, nor can you even entertain thoughts of harming me. Otherwise, the soul contract will trigger automatically. In minor cases, it will scorch your soul. In serious cases, it will obliterate your divine soul… If you don’t believe me, feel free to try it…”
“You damn… Ye Fan, you little beast… Ow, my head…”
Ye Zhong had just cursed at Ye Fan, and immediately he was rolling in pain again!
Can’t even curse?
Still somewhat incredulous, Ye Zhong attempted it a few more times and finally confirmed that he could only say nice things about Ye Fan and do things that were beneficial to Ye Fan! Any thoughts detrimental to Ye Fan were unthinkable. And speaking them was even harder. Before he could even open his mouth, the soul contract would forcibly shut him up!
“Don’t even consider any method to destroy the contract. It won’t break unless I voluntarily release it, or you perish, which will automatically invalidate the contract! Of course, if I die, you will surely die… but if you die, I won’t suffer any harm! Even if I get hurt, you will also share the pain…”
As he spoke, Ye Fan took a knife and cut his own arm!
“Ah, ow…” Ye Zhong’s arm clearly had no wound, yet he suddenly felt an intense pain piercing straight to his core!
Such a scene left Ye Zhong utterly despondent!
What kind of heaven-defying secret technique was this?
Was his life from now on bound to Ye Fan’s? If Ye Fan died, he had to die as well?
Didn’t that mean that from this moment on, he had to pray every day that nothing would happen to Ye Fan?
“So, Second Grandpa, do you have any more questions now?”
“No… There are none!” Ye Zhong’s entire body seemed to deflate, his face helpless, “Old servant Ye Zhong, greets the master!” With fear, adoration, and submission emanating from his very bones, Ye Zhong bowed respectfully to Ye Fan, completely forced into subservience!
“Then, after we return to the Ancient Martial Ye Family, do you know what to say?” Ye Fan smiled wickedly, holding the reins with ease.
“The old servant knows! Just say that the Cloud City Ye Family is a mediocre family and that Ye Fan has no anomalies in his bloodline!” Ye Zhong answered submissively, as docile as a little lamb…
