As soon as these words came out, the air in the central hall seemed to become a little quieter.

Mu Qing opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

Xia Lianxing and Bai Xue were also extremely surprised. Although they did not have the "Liu Lihua Divine Token", it was not difficult to see that this kind of token was something that every spirit envoy would get when they became regular.

Generally speaking, it will be carried by the owner as a soul vehicle for signing the "Soul Contract".

When a servant disobeys or tries to disobey his master's orders, the master can use this spiritual tool with the servant's soul to force the servant to do things against his will.

What's more, in the signed soul contract, there will be a life clause that extremely ignores the servant's human rights:

That is - "Disobeying the master's orders will lead to death."

This kind of cruel clause is not an isolated phenomenon. On the contrary, among all types of master-servant contracts, almost most people sign this kind of "soul contract" with a life clause.

The most typical example is Miaoxian Pavilion.

They capture female changelings from all over the world and train them into demon dolls in large numbers to meet the physiological needs of high-level monks. What those big customers spend a lot of money to buy is this "soul contract right".

Once a soul contract is signed with the corresponding monster, it means that the owner can truly do whatever he wants with his "playthings".

It would be more appropriate to call the "Soul Contract" a "master-servant contract" rather than a "master-slave contract".

But Lu Lingqiu, as the master of Jinghua Palace, acted in the opposite direction from the very beginning.

——He handed over the "Liu Lihua Divine Order" to every spirit envoy.

Mu Qing finally realized that if it was really a "soul contract", the master would definitely have brought the token with him. How could it be placed directly in the hands of the "spiritual envoy"?

Wouldn't that be equivalent to handing over the most critical "key" to the imprisoned party?

Moreover, the soul contract requires "rituals" and cannot be achieved with blood essence alone. Although Mu Qing has never signed a soul contract, nor has he seen any clan members or outsiders sign it, so he does not know much about these detailed processes.

After hearing what Hua Ling and Lan Yurou said, she suddenly realized,

It turns out that from the very beginning, my master

I have never forced the spirit envoys.

That's not a "soul contract" at all.

Is it possible that his dedication, his care, and his protection were so unreserved?

So what exactly does he want?

The doubts in my heart became more and more. Before I could think about it, I saw a dazzling red light like a shooting star suddenly appeared on the "star screen" behind the flower bell, lighting up the night sky.

The girls immediately focused their gazes away.

"Ah, that's..."

Seeing the familiar red line, the taciturn Sha Ling suddenly stood up from her seat.

Lan Yurou on one side also stood up suddenly and affirmed:

"It's Suzaku."

Hua Ling nodded:

"Well, let's go and greet her."

…

Outside the Tianshan Mountains, a huge red flamingo flew rapidly towards Gucheng from a distance.

Her wings are like golden and red flames. Looking from a distance, it gives people the illusion that the night sky is on fire. Her flying speed is indescribable, but what can be distinguished by the naked eye is that every breath leaves behind her. A red line like an afterimage. They are connected together intermittently, outlining beautiful golden rainbow curves in the sky.

At this moment, Hua Ling, Lan Yurou, Sha Ling, and Mu Qing have been waiting at the foot of Gucheng for a long time.

Since Xia Lianxing and Bai Xue did not have the "Liu Lihua Divine Order" for the time being, they could not carry out the teleportation of Tianshan's "Grand Teleportation Array", so they had to wait in the central hall.

After another time of burning incense, the fiery red flamingo finally flew down to the center of Tianshan Mountain and stopped in front of everyone.

"Suzaku, you're back!"

Lan Yurou walked towards the Flaming Bird first, while Mu Qing and Sha Ling followed behind her.

However, just as they got closer to the bird's body, they suddenly saw,

On the back of the flamingo,

Lying there was a man who had passed out.

——It is Lu Lingqiu.

"Ah! Master!!"

"Your Highness the Holy Spirit!"

"Brother Lingqiu...!"

Except for Hua Ling, the other three girls gathered around in shock. They had never seen their master in such an embarrassing state.

Lu Lingqiu's body was covered with scabbed wounds, and the originally bright Holy Spirit's attire was now full of holes and the clothes were not covering his body.

It is not difficult to see that he has experienced an unimaginable fierce battle before.

But the red flamingo known as the "Suzaku" flashed with brilliance and transformed into a naked and beautiful girl in front of everyone.

Lu Lingqiu's body was also held on her chest by her hands.

This woman is Yan Ye.

The uniform of the spirit envoy had long been destroyed in the battle of gods, and the spiritual rosary that could have been used for storage was also burned when the "Holy Law: Heavenly Blood Sacrifice" was cast. Except for her master's holy spirit uniform, she had nothing

Other clothes can be worn.

But on the way back, Lu Lingqiu was severely punished by heaven for releasing the most evil technique - memory division. Not only did his cultivation plummet, but he also faced a huge backlash from a splitting headache, and he fainted not long after.

.

She had to put the clothes that had turned into holes back on him, and she activated her demon body and flew back from the bottom of the endless abyss at the edge of Nanli.

"Master, he..."

Before Yan Ye could say anything, he saw a silver light flash in front of him without any warning, and then a terrifying ancient aura wrapped around him from all directions with an unavoidable force!

Hua Ling’s voice is cold:

"Suzaku.

As a fire spirit, you lost your life during the mission, which is understandable."

"But can you explain why the master's cultivation level was reduced from a demigod to a god?"

Before she finished speaking, the girls saw a silvery arc of light holding Yan Ye in place, and Lu Lingqiu, who was originally on her arms, appeared in Hua Ling's arms at some unknown time.

"What?!"

In just a blink of an eye, Lan Yurou and Sha Ling heard this and immediately used their spiritual consciousness to gently brush Lu Lingqiu's body away. Only then were they sure that what Hua Ling said was true.

"how so!"

They know it.

His master's cultivation had reached the level of a demigod many years ago. Looking at the sects such as Tian Cang and others that have already emerged, even if the Hidden Sect is included, no one can stand a chance against him.

But now...

Could it be...

What trick did he use for her!?

The two women looked at each other, both feeling extremely horrified.

Mu Qing was also dumbfounded at this moment.

She stared blankly at brother Lingqiu, who was held in Hua Ling's arms not far away, with various complex emotions such as disbelief, extreme worry, and powerlessness mixed in her mind.

She did not expect that Lu Lingqiu's previous cultivation level could reach that level, and she could not imagine what could destroy such a master to the point of being scarred.

She was so worried about him and wanted to rush up and hug him tightly.

However, in front of these high-level spiritual envoys, it seemed that he had lost the qualification to even approach his master.

A feeling of extreme inferiority and sadness quietly rose in my heart.

"I...I..."

But in the silver arc light, Yan Ye's perfect body was fixed by an invisible energy. She knelt on the ground in pain, tears falling down.

"I'm sorry...I'm sorry..."

Under Hua Ling's cold and murderous gaze, the girl's delicate body trembled, her eyes dim with tears.

"Wait, Ling, don't do this."

Shui Lian immediately tried to persuade her:

"I think Suzaku must have tried her best. If it can be avoided, she definitely doesn't want to do this."

"Yeah, yeah." Sha Ling also nodded in agreement.

"I thought you were very reliable. Ha."
