Chapter 467: Chapter 467: Covenant of Heaven
The entire riverside was filled with Xu Sanshi’s hysterical laughter.
Being trapped here for so long, if it hadn’t been for his good luck and amazing resilience, he would have either starved to death or gone insane and committed suicide!
Now that he’s finally found a way out, it’s only natural to be this excited and frantic.
“So here’s the question, do you know how to repair this spell formation?” Jiang Xiaobai suddenly poured cold water on his enthusiasm.
Jiang Xiaobai did know that the spell formation was damaged, but the catch was, to escape, they had to restore the spiritual power. But the component of the formation which could control the sealing of the spiritual power was obviously broken.
Who was going to fix it?
Xu Sanshi was stumped for a moment but he quickly laughed it off.
“No need to rush, it’s not that the formation is damaged, it’s just that the function of the materials has been exhausted. Look, the patterns here are still intact. The materials that support the formation have just lost their function!”
“Coincidentally, I recognize these materials!”
Xu Sanshi laughed heartily.
At this point, Ao Cheng suddenly leaned in: “Even more coincidentally, how are you going to get these materials!”
Hearing that, Xu Sanshi, who had just been thrilled, was suddenly flabbergasted!
He had been so excited that he had forgotten that others can’t open their storage rings, and even though he could open his storage ring, who the hell would have such an extensive collection of materials?
It seemed like the whole formation required at least a hundred types of materials with a certain quantity requirement. Who could possibly meet such a demand!
Xu Sanshi momentarily contemplated dying right then and there!
“Bloody hell, you give me hope and then crush it. Why don’t you just let me die?”
Xu Sanshi roared in rage.
There was nothing worse in the world than this – knowing the way out of this ghostly place but being unable to leave!
It was like knowing the answers to all the exam questions just one minute before the end of the test, but not having enough time to write them down!
Despair, utter despair!
At this point, Xu Sanshi wished he could forget the information just to continue waiting to die.
But his obsession with escaping was so deeply ingrained that he couldn’t just forget it!
For the moment, Xu Sanshi genuinely thought death would be a relief!
Meanwhile, amidst Xu Sanshi’s rage and despair, Jiang Xiaobai was quietly checking the amount of materials in his storage space.
Fortunately, he had always been of the opinion – take everything that’s not nailed down. Thus, his boundless storage space was piled high with materials!
While he lacked some materials, he could easily obtain them from the prestige mall using points.
It wasn’t expensive, only costing twenty or thirty thousand points!
The moment when Jiang Xiaobai spelched out all those materials, everyone present was shocked stiff.
Who the hell would have such an extensive collection of materials, except for Jiang Xiaobai who collects things like a madman? He even had plenty of precious materials!
“Jiang Xiaobai, did you already know that you would end up in a situation like this, and planned ahead by preparing all of this?”
Ao Cheng stared blankly at Jiang Xiaobai.
This whole scenario was like a rollercoaster ride. Could they just stop this nonsense?
“Cough cough. I didn’t know either. I just felt that although I wouldn’t need the materials for a long time, they would eventually come in handy… I didn’t know that they would be used this way…”
Jiang Xiaobai coughed dryly.
Meanwhile, Xu Sanshi jumped up with joy and rushed towards Jiang Xiaobai.
With a thump, he dropped on his knees before Jiang Xiaobai!
“My friend, you truly are my savior. I am indebted to you and can’t thank you enough. Rest assured, once we get out of here, I will keep my promise and serve you diligently!”
“Dad, you’re my real dad!”
Xu Sanshi sobbed uncontrollably due to his overwhelming emotions.
Jiang Xiaobai nodded his head, but didn’t fully believe Xu Sanshi’s words.
Are you kidding, a peak power player at the Great Achievement level would really willingly serve him?
All of these promises were just due to Xu Sanshi getting excited about the possibility of escape. They weren’t credible!
But then again, it would be a waste to not use such a powerful player.
He was still angry at a lot of people.
If possible, he wanted to use Xu Sanshi for some tasks.
With this in mind, Jiang Xiaobai asked the system, “System, is there a contract we can make between people?”
“Yes, there is. It’s in the mall, for a hundred thousand points per Heavenly Dao Contract!”
“The contract uses the Heavenly Dao as a medium. The party that breaks the contract will be punished by the Heavenly Dao and the punishment will take effect as soon as the contract is violated.”
“Each system product is excellent. Host, please use with confidence!”
At this moment, Jiang Xiaobai had a crazy grin on his face.
This was an invincible combatant!
Enemies, are you ready to be slaughtered?
“Don’t rush to thank me. You know we are strangers. You are so powerful, we are no match for you. What if you go back on your word after we leave?”
“What if you get happy and kill us for entertainment, then what do we do?”
“What are you implying?”
Xu Sanshi was stunned. “You don’t trust my character?”
“I’m just being realistic about my own strength.”
Jiang Xiaobai chuckled, and suddenly a roll of parchment appeared in his hand. He unrolled it, revealing a contract.
The terms were simple, Xu Sanshi had to serve Jiang Xiaobai faithfully for ten years, obeying his every command. Should he violate these terms, he would be struck by lightning on the spot!
The others could sense the power contained in this contract. It was as if some unseen set of eyes were scrutinizing them.
Anyone breaking this contract would truly die.
For a moment, Xu Sanshi was shocked, and he couldn’t help but look at Jiang Xiaobai.
He was bewildered, who the hell was this guy, and how has he managed to get his hands on so many amazing items?
“Sign it, and I’ll lead you out of here. Otherwise, no one gets to leave.”
Jiang Xiaobai said with a grin: “Of course, you can choose to be stubborn, but given your current level of power, I suggest you reconsider.”
As soon as he finished speaking, two powerful magical artifacts appeared next to him, pointing ominously at Xu Sanshi!
Even though Xu Sanshi was immensely powerful now, his available spiritual power was pitifully low, equivalent to someone who had just started cultivating. How could he possibly compete against these two powerful entities?
They had already unlocked three levels of their earth and sky seals, possessed a certain level of spiritual intelligence, and their power was not hampered by this formation.
Killing Xu Sanshi would be as easy as eating and drinking!
“Take your time.”
Jiang Xiaobai urged him again: “After all, if you don’t agree, I can just kill you now.”
Yuanhong also released a horrifying aura, like a tidal wave, ready to engulf Xu Sanshi on the spot.
Xu Sanshi was dumbstruck. He swore he had never met someone as shameless as Jiang Xiaobai!
So, should he sign or not?
A very good question!
