Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 1416: Chapter 1415: Contract Transfer

Hong Ye’s face was pale as paper, and beads of sweat dripped down her face, devoid of any blood.

However, as the Bone Woman said, the Divine Dragon Jade is indeed the Eight-chi Kongo Jade, a divine artifact of Yingzhou. With this artifact, all would be secure.

The possession ritual did not take long, and after a few minutes, the blazing red light fully entered Hong Ye’s body and finally vanished, leaving only a skeleton pattern on her smooth, jade-like back.

Ling Chen withdrew the Divine Dragon Jade and immediately frowned, for he was unsure whether the Bone Woman’s possession had succeeded or not.

At this moment, Hong Ye had already closed her clothes and stood up. A cold, white glow suddenly appeared in her pupils, emitting a chilling ripple.

”Succeeded?”

Ling Chen’s eyes slightly brightened; since Hong Ye was unharmed, it should have succeeded.

”Mm,”

Hong Ye nodded slightly. The power of the Green-faced Ghost within her had been completely eradicated, replaced by the Bone Woman’s power. She immediately felt that this power was much more magnificent than before. This ripple was by no means comparable to the trivial power of the Green-faced Ghost.

The Bone Woman is a legendary Ghost God, far more famous than the Green-faced Ghost. Now that her power resides within Hong Ye’s body, it means Hong Ye alone could equal a shrine, and in the future, with her own power, she could establish a powerful shrine! Becoming a major force on the Yingzhou Continent.

However, she knew very well who bestowed all this upon her.

At this thought, Hong Ye immediately clasped her fists toward Ling Chen, revealing a grateful expression on her pretty face, ”Thank you, Master, for your grace.”

If it weren’t for the opportunity given by Ling Chen, how could she have such a chance?

”The Bone Woman inside you, whether it’s a blessing or a curse still remains to be seen.”

Ling Chen shook his head, his expression very serious, ”This matter must be kept secret; otherwise, it will surely arouse the covetousness of various shrines, possibly leading to catastrophic disaster.”

”I understand.”

Hong Ye nodded. Having received such benefits out of thin air, if the various shrines were to know, they would definitely try to seize the Bone Woman inside her, for any shrine acquiring an additional Ghost God would undoubtedly greatly enhance its strength, instantly overshadowing other shrines with increased influence.

As she bent over, the pattern on her back suddenly lit up, and a thin mist of white fog rose, enveloping the Bone Woman’s form.

The Bone Woman merely flicked her finger, causing wisps of white flames to gather before her with visible speed into a scroll that flew toward Ling Chen.

Stretching out his hand to receive the ethereal scroll, Ling Chen hadn’t yet opened it when he heard the Bone Woman speak: ”This is your contract. As long as you hold this contract, I must obey you until you die.”

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Hong Ye’s beautiful eyes, followed by understanding. It turned out there was such a contract between the Bone Woman and Ling Chen. Her master indeed was extraordinary, able to subdue a Ghost God of such stature.

The contract with a Ghost God is highly restrictive; once made, it cannot be violated. In various shrines, the Great Yin-Yang Masters generally establish contracts with Ghost Gods. The shrine must devote to worshipping the Ghost God, who must adhere to the shrine’s contract.

Now that Ling Chen possesses the Bone Woman’s contract, it means she cannot betray Ling Chen, at least not before the contract becomes void.

Yet, Ling Chen, upon receiving the contract, did not hesitate and flicked his finger, causing Hong Ye to see that the contract flew toward her, entering her brow and integrating into her body.

”What are you doing?”

The Bone Woman was surprised as well; Ling Chen transferring her contract into Hong Ye’s body equivalently shifted the contract’s power to her.

”Master, you...”

Hong Ye also showed an incredulous look on her face. Ling Chen actually transferred the Bone Woman’s contract to her, meaning he truly entrusted the Bone Woman’s power to her completely.

”The Bone Woman is in a weakened state now; restoring her full power will take quite some time.”

Ling Chen looked at Hong Ye, having little emotional fluctuation, then continued, ”You should understand these Ghost Gods better than me, so you should know how to bring her back to full strength faster.”

Upon hearing this, Hong Ye nodded. As a shrine maiden, she understood these things, but how was this related to the contract between Ling Chen and the Bone Woman? Why did Ling Chen entrust the Bone Woman entirely to her? Didn’t he know how powerful this force is?

”Make good use of the Bone Woman’s power.”

Ling Chen’s lips curled into a smile, ”Consider this a compensation for making the Liu Sheng Family’s young miss serve as my servant for half a year.”

With a smile on his face, Ling Chen suddenly swung his sword forward, forcibly breaking the Illusory Realm ahead. The Illusory Realm, devoid of the Bone Woman’s control, was shattered instantaneously, and Ling Chen immediately proceeded toward the shattered opening of the Illusory Realm.

Watching Ling Chen’s gradually distant figure, Hong Ye’s mood was very complex. From the beginning, she had little respect for Ling Chen, even held some resentment. After all, if it weren’t for Ling Chen, she wouldn’t have ended up in such a situation, but over time, she realized Ling Chen wasn’t an ordinary man. Following him, she slowly found herself attracted to Ling Chen’s charisma. Swording against the Fengjian Clan, slaying Hundred-Eyed Demon’s avatar, then venturing into Sword Prison, reaching the fifteenth level, creating a historic record for the youth generation.

Ling Chen is like a shining star; whoever stays by his side cannot escape being attracted by his destiny.

She was no exception.

And now, Ling Chen generously gave her the Bone Woman’s powerful strength without any malice, and his words seemed apologetic, regretting making her suffer.

Hong Ye chose to stay by Ling Chen, solely to find his weaknesses, even to seduce him, all for opposing Ling Chen. Didn’t he know this and still entrust her with such an important thing, trusting her so profoundly?

Because even her father, Liu Sheng Qianbingwei, would never entrust something as powerful as the Bone Woman to her.

The entire Liu Sheng Family merely considered how to utilize her, to maximize her value.

Sending her to Izumo Shrine was out of such consideration.

”Ling Chen, oh, Ling Chen, what kind of person are you...?”

If speaking of hatred, Hong Ye now couldn’t bring herself to hate Ling Chen, for this man had no enemy she could truly despise. Throughout, Ling Chen hadn’t mistreated her. Outsiders might think she was being trampled under Ling Chen, treated as a plaything, but the truth was not. Ling Chen not only hadn’t touched her but regarded her almost like a close acquaintance. In her memory, except for her mother, no one had ever treated her so well.

Clenching her silver teeth, the light flickered within Hong Ye’s beautiful eyes before she followed along.
