All Things Are Contracts

Although Iron Bull was big and tall, with Zhanyue’s current strength, it was a piece of cake to carry him on his back. The two quickly returned to the village.

The old woman had long been waiting at the village entrance. Only when she saw Zhanyue return did her expression relax a bit. However, when she saw the unconscious Iron Bull, her face instantly turned deathly pale again.

“What happened to Iron Bull?” The old woman asked anxiously.

“He’s fine, just fell into a deep sleep. He should wake up soon. Although the evil spirit possessing him has been expelled, I’m afraid his memory has been damaged after this ordeal.” Zhanyue explained.

“There really was an evil spirit possessing him?” Although the old woman had long guessed so, only when she heard these words from Zhanyue’s mouth did she feel a chill down her spine.

“Don’t worry, it’s fine now.” Zhanyue comforted.

“Alright, alright, thank you young master, thank you young master. I… I don’t know how to repay you.” The old woman was a bit embarrassed, unable to repay such a great kindness.

The two supported Iron Bull into the house. As it was getting late, Zhanyue had no choice but to stay the night at Iron Bull’s home. Soon, Iron Bull woke up, his eyes a bit dazed. Wasn’t he mining in the mine shaft? How did he appear in his own home? His soul body wasn’t strong enough, he didn’t even retain any memories of what happened before.

“My head… it hurts a lot.” Iron Bull rubbed his head. Only then did he notice someone sitting beside him, giving him a fright.

“You’re awake? Do you still know where this place is?” Zhanyue asked.

“This is my home, where else could it be? Who are you? Why are you in my house?” Iron Bull looked at Zhanyue a bit nervously.

At this time, the old woman heard the commotion and knew Iron Bull was awake. She brought over a bowl of medicinal soup that had the effect of refreshing the mind.

“Iron Bull, quickly drink the medicine.” The old woman handed it over.

Although puzzled, Iron Bull never doubted his mother. Without asking any questions, he drank it all in one gulp.

“This young master is your great benefactor. You were previously possessed by an evil spirit and turned into another person. Your mom was worried to death. Fortunately, this young master took action and helped expel the evil spirit from you.” The old woman explained.

“Hm?” Iron Bull was a bit dazed, but he could feel that something had indeed happened to him. It didn’t seem fake. Plus, with his mother also saying so, he stood up and bowed to Zhanyue, “Thank you young master for saving my life.”

“Alright, alright, you must all be hungry. The meal is ready.” The old woman smiled. The vegetables bought in the morning weren’t used up yet. It was just right to use them at night to reward Zhanyue and also nourish Iron Bull’s body.

Iron Bull looked at the table full of delicious food, a hint of a smile appearing on his face. Then he placed a large piece of meat into his mother’s bowl. Only then did he start picking dishes with his chopsticks while inviting Zhanyue. “Benefactor, don’t stand on ceremony. Eat quickly. My mom’s cooking skills are pretty good.”

The old woman looked at the meat in her bowl, tears flowing down. At this moment, she finally confirmed that her son had come back.

“Iron Bull, you had me so worried…” The mother and son hugged each other.

Only now did Zhanyue breathe a sigh of relief. This pill of his wasn’t wasted.

One night passed without words. Early the next morning, Zhanyue left alone for Flying Cloud Post Station, not even alerting Iron Bull and the old woman, quietly leaving.

“The benefactor left?” The old woman only belatedly discovered Zhanyue was gone after getting up. “I hope the benefactor has a smooth journey.” She knew she also couldn’t help Zhanyue with anything and had nothing to repay him with. She could only bless and pray.

“Interesting, interesting. I originally thought this kid was willing to use an eighth-grade pill, he must have some relation to that big fellow. I didn’t expect them to be strangers who met by chance.” The youth in green Daoist robes appeared again, unhurriedly following Zhanyue. However, Zhanyue was still completely unaware.

Flying Cloud Post Station, although only a post station, was actually no different from a town. Merchants came and went in great numbers here. From time to time, there were airships landing and airships departing. Flying Cloud Post Station was the transportation hub connecting the Rising Sun Kingdom and the Jade Rosy Kingdom. Most people would board an airship from here, fly across Sunset Rosy Valley, and arrive at the Jade Rosy Kingdom on the Western World.

“I have already crossed the Broken Soul Mountain Range. This trip, I have elders from my clan escorting me, don’t worry. The White Family may value my life even more than myself, so I’m very safe. I heard that Night Lord’s people have been appearing in the Broken Soul Mountain Range and have killed quite a few people. You must be careful later.”

Zhanyue read Baizhi’s spatial message and only relaxed after confirming her whereabouts. At this moment, he was already on a huge airship. That airship used enormous gas bags as floating power. Below it, the suspended hull had dozens of rooms. Of course, such a luxurious airship was extremely expensive, but Zhanyue wasn’t short on money.

A Profound practitioner at the Star Profound Realm controlled the airship. Under his control, the airship slowly floated up. This airship actually also used enlightenment stones as a power source. Enlightenment stones could be considered the solar energy or batteries of this world. This trip would consume quite a lot of enlightenment stones, so the ticket from the Rising Sun Kingdom to the Jade Rosy Kingdom was very expensive. It was something an ordinary farmer couldn’t afford even if they worked their whole life. The vast majority of ordinary people couldn’t go to the other World in their entire lives.

Inside the room, Zhanyue took out that red cone. Power continuously poured in. Gradually, that cone elongated at a visible speed, finally returning to its original state. It was a red treasured sword. The blade was sharp and the body was like blood. Mysterious runes were engraved on the hilt. Just a glance could make one feel a thick bloody killing intent. Just suspended there, it was like a red primordial ancient beast. Fortunately, Zhanyue was the master of this ‘ancient beast’ and didn’t feel too much pressure.

“Luckily, luckily that thief didn’t recover enough spiritual energy. Otherwise, if he had the power to let this treasure show its true face, you definitely wouldn’t have been his match. This sword is so terrifying…” The illumination Goddess looked at the flying sword in front of her, clicking her tongue in wonder. That Demon Sword Ancestor from the previous Primal Era left behind a demon sword, how could it be ordinary? This Heaven Punishing Demon Sword had a mysterious origin. Even Demon Sword Ancestor himself only obtained it by chance and didn’t know its source.

“Good treasure. I happen to be lacking a handy weapon. That square sky halberd can’t be activated when not using the Silver Moon Armor. With this treasured sword, it solves my urgent need.” Zhanyue smiled, satisfied as he examined this red flying sword. “Unfortunately, I don’t have a sword controlling art. I can only use this flying sword magic treasure as an ordinary sword.”

“Ay, I didn’t browse carefully on Ghost Island before. I don’t know if those stalls had any sword controlling arts for sale. But it’s too late to regret now.” Zhanyue said with some regret.

Knocking sounds of “dong dong dong” rang out. Zhanyue hurriedly put away the flying sword and opened the door with some puzzlement. Standing outside the door was a young man with a youthful and refined appearance, dressed in green Daoist robes.

“Friend, may I have a word with you?” This Daoist looked at Zhanyue with a playful expression.
