Chapter 23: The Unlucky Item Tian (Part 2)

  New book, need everyone's support, red tickets, collection, book reviews, clicks, all come to me!

  "Is that so......" Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes, he could tell that Xiang Tian hadn't told him the truth, and he knew about the master-servant contract, only what he knew was from what he had read before, but he wasn't sure if it existed here.

  It's also because of this that he didn't say it before.

  However, he saw Xiang Tian dodging like this, and he was certain that in this world, there must be a method with the same function as the Master-Servant Contract, even if it wasn't called by that name.

  "Of course, I wouldn't deceive you!" Xiang Tian felt a bit uneasy in his heart, after all, this little guy had true energy inside him, which meant he was a cultivator. If he found out, it would be troublesome.

  "Stop it, since there's no such method, then our previous agreement ends here, and we'll continue to drag on." Zhang Cheng didn't believe from the bottom of his heart that there wasn't one. Moreover, the more Xiang Tianyu said this, the more he felt that such a method existed, only he didn't want to bring it out.

  So he said so, forcing Xiang Tian and himself to tell the truth.

  But honestly, he really can't bear to kill Xiang Tian now. This living treasure is too good, and keeping him under the premise of ensuring his own safety will absolutely be beneficial to himself.

  "Wait, you wait, let me think again!" Xiang Tian did not expect Zhang Cheng to be so decisive, which made him a little flustered. After all, his current situation was quite dangerous. With his current soul strength, even with the protection of the ring, he could not last for too long.

  Moreover, the weak soul of the month, a feeling on the verge of death, made him very afraid.

  However, he couldn't bear to make that person his subordinate by signing a master-servant contract with him. So he thought of a compromise, which was to sign an equal contract with Zhang Cheng, because the binding force of an equal contract is slightly weaker than that of a master-servant contract.

  What is meant by equality is that the status of both parties is equal, and they cannot harm each other. If not, they will be bound by the contract, and also, one party's death will not lead to the other party being buried with them. Only then can Xiang Tian barely accept it.

  "How about it? Have you thought it through?" Zhang Cheng said somewhat impatiently.

  "I've thought it through, however, the method you mentioned doesn't exist. But I've come up with a new one - let's sign an equal contract. Once we sign this contract, neither of us can harm each other, and we'll both benefit equally. How about that?" Xiang Tian replied.

  "Contract of Equality!" Zhang Cheng was taken aback, thinking to himself: "It seems that this world and the Xian Xia world are indeed the same. In that case, shouldn't the Master-Servant Contract also exist?"

  Zhang Cheng's face revealed a mocking expression, and he immediately said: "Hehe, the Equal Contract is indeed good, but what if after I sign it with you, you don't listen to me? At that time, we have already signed the contract, I still can't hurt you, and I have to provide you with soul power every now and then. Do you think this is fair to me?"

  "So, I won't sign any equal contract with you. I want to sign a master-slave contract with you, where I'm the master and you're the slave. Don't tell me you don't know what a master-slave contract is. If you still don't show some sincerity, then our negotiation ends here, and you can just wait for death."

  "How did you know about the Master-Servant Contract..." Xiang Tian asked with a hint of incredulity after hearing Zhang Cheng's words.

  "Haha, I forgot to tell you, my master is from the Xiu Zhen realm, so I naturally know about things related to the Xiu Zhen realm. The reason I didn't say anything earlier was to see if you had any sincerity, but unfortunately, the result really disappointed me. Alright, I don't want to waste more words, sign or not, it's up to you to decide!" Zhang Cheng would naturally not admit that he was guessing.

  However, in order to be true, he also moved his master out, so even if Xiang Tian suspected, there was no reason to refute himself.

  "I'd rather die than sign a master-slave contract with you, so give up on that idea!" Xiang Tian's face changed color as he said this firmly.

  "Hehe, don't be so absolute either. I'll give you some time to think about it, and tell me after you've thought it through." Zhang Cheng said with a smile.

  "Never mind, I won't sign a master-slave contract with you anyway. My bottom line is to have an equal contract with you, whether you like it or not!" Xiang Tian decided to break the jar and be done with it.

  He is afraid of death, but if he has to live without dignity, then he would rather die.

  "I'm telling you, don't speak so absolutely, after all, your life is more precious than mine. To be honest, you won't lose out by signing a master-servant contract with me. You see, I'll occasionally offer some soul power to sustain you, letting you live well. And I can also promise you that if you truly help me wholeheartedly, I can promise not to use the contract to suppress you, and even treat you as an elder. If you don't believe me, I can make a vow with my heart demon, a heart demon oath - you should have heard of it!" Zhang Cheng persuaded kindly.

  Zhang Cheng is now really reluctant to let Xiang Tian die, getting such a good helper is much better than getting a large number of high-level skills.

  Moreover, Zhang Cheng still wants to go find that Huajing to avenge himself. Without real power, it's definitely not possible, so he can't let go of this opportunity that allows him to surpass others.

  "Are you sure you want to swear an oath with the Heart Demon?" Xiang Tian was not particularly moved by Zhang Cheng's first half of the sentence, but when he heard him say "swear an oath with the Heart Demon", his heart involuntarily relaxed.

  For them, the cultivators of the truth, making an oath is extremely efficacious. Because they themselves are going against heaven's will, every step they take will be closely monitored by the Heavenly Way. Therefore, once they make an oath, it will be recorded by the Heavenly Way. If they go back on their word, it will inevitably come true.

  The Heart Demon Oath is the most severe of all oaths, and once broken, the Heart Demon will erupt, regardless of one's cultivation level, the consequences will not be good.

  So, generally speaking, cultivators of the truth rarely make vows, and those who cultivate with demonic hearts make even fewer vows.

  At this moment, Zhang Cheng said so, it can be seen that his determination made Xiang Tian's heart slightly wider. He thought that if he could really make a vow with the demon in his heart, maybe signing a master-slave contract with him would be more effective than signing an equal contract.

  Moreover, he didn't say it, Zhang Cheng didn't say it, who knows they signed a master-slave contract.

  To put it bluntly, he was moved.

  "Yes, I said that. If you still feel it's not right, then I can swear now. What do you think?" Zhang Cheng saw Xiang Tian Song relaxed and his eyes lit up, then he took the opportunity to say this sentence.

  "Alright, as long as you swear an oath with your heart's demon, I will sign a master-servant contract with you and assist you from now on. However, you must promise me one thing: when your cultivation reaches a certain height, you must return my freedom to me and give me back my physical body!" Xiang Tian agreed.

  "Good!" Zhang Cheng's heart was delighted when Xiang Tian agreed, and he raised his right hand, saying: "I, Zhang Cheng, swear an oath with my Heart Demon today. As long as Xiang Tian truly helps me, I will never use the Master-Servant Contract to restrain him. When I have reached sufficient cultivation, I will return his freedom and help him recreate his physical body. If I break this oath, I am willing to fall into madness and die."

  "Alright, drip another drop of blood onto the ring, and let's sign a master-slave contract." Upon hearing Zhang Cheng's oath, Xiang Tian also put down the last stone in his heart.

  However, in his heart, a feeling that cannot be expressed or explained has arisen. He thought of the year he was the Demon Lord Xuan Tian, a powerful master who dominated the Xiuzhen world for hundreds of years. When people saw him, they would nod their heads and bow, fawn and try to curry favor with him, and many even lined up to sign a master-servant contract with him.

  He just found it annoying before and never agreed.

  But he never thought that the first time in his life he agreed to sign a master-slave contract with someone, it was as a slave that he signed it, which made him very depressed.

  However, he was also helpless, perhaps this kid was his nemesis, or maybe in his past life, he owed him, so in this life, he had to pay it back.

  So in the end, he could only resign himself to his fate.
