Red answered, "I want my blood contract!"
ME: "Blood contract? What is that thing? "
Red: "That is a blood contract between the demon and the owner! Back then, when I was a zombie outside the mountain, it was Qing Ling who captured me and brought me back to the Evergreen Sect. I'm bound by the contract and can't leave for years, but I'm tired of this inhuman life. I want to leave here! However, once the blood contract is established, I am unable to rescind it unilaterally … Therefore, I hope that you can help me obtain Qingling's consent and remove our blood contract! "
I was surprised. "So you were brought here by Qing Ling! But isn't staying in the Demonic Forest a good idea? "You are a zombie after all, going down the mountain is very dangerous …"
My concerns are justified... Although fiendish demons did not like being restricted since the ancient times, it was reasonable for Red to want to be free. However, as a zombie, once it appeared in the human world, it would easily attract the Demon Slaying Master's attention; although Red Mana was strong, there were many powerful Demon Slaying Masters in this world. Even if he did not suffer a loss, a zombie was still a creature that required continuous consumption of life and blood.
Red said gloomily, "I don't like staying here. Who would like to be studied as a monster everyday by others? Are you willing? "
I thought for a moment and seriously replied, "I definitely wouldn't want others to be the owner. However, if the owner is either Master or Qing Ling …" Qing Ling is very good, he won't mistreat you right? "
Red frowned. "It's not a question of whether or not I'll be treated unfairly …"
"What's the problem?"
Red turned his head stubbornly.
I became more and more curious. "Is it because of Senior Ruan?"
Hong Hong was instantly enraged: "I already said not to mention him! Don't mention him! The person I hate the most is him! "
Oh, I understand. It was indeed because of Senior Ruan that Red wanted to leave the Evergreen Sect.
However, I am a trustworthy fox … Since Red had already helped me obtain the gem, I had to fulfill my promise as well. Thus, I decided to go and ask Qing Ling if I could help Red to fulfill her wish.
Besides, although Red is a zombie, but in the short time we spent together, I feel that he already has his own thoughts and opinions, just like an ordinary human being. If he were to obtain his freedom, he wouldn't harm the world, right?
I thought it through and decided to bring Hong Hong along to Cyan Wood Hall to find Qing Ling.
Who would have thought that they would meet him on the way!
Qingling and Senior Martial Brother Shangguan were walking together, looking anxious, as if they were looking for someone. When they saw me, his expression relaxed. Xiao Yu rushed forward and asked anxiously, "Ah Wu, where did you run off to? You really made us worry to death! "
At this time, Qing Ling and Senior Martial Brother Shangguan came over to check if I was injured, and even scolded me for running around the Demonic Forest by myself … Meanwhile, Shixiong Ruan walked straight toward Red, her eyes brimming with surprise. "Red …"
"Humph!"
Red shook him off and turned his back, looking very awkward. If not for the fact that he was waiting for the blood contract, he would have left long ago.
I stared at them curiously. Senior brother Yuan was very careful to please Red, but Red didn't care about him.
I pulled Qing Ling to one side to ask about the blood contract and Senior Shangguan and Xiao Yu went together to help Senior Ruan fawn over Hong Hong. We also captured the zombies that we captured earlier and gave them to Senior Ruan to use as bait to coax Hong Hong; because Hong Hong is a Red Eyed Zombie, we can use Green Eyed Zombies to cultivate …
Qing Ling was embarrassed by my request. He said to me, "Although Red Shadow is more civilized than the other zombies and has also regained his humanity, he did transform into a corpse before. His brain has already been burnt and he no longer remembers what happened before. If he were to leave the Evergreen Sect, with his power, there will be another demon that will kill him. This will not be beneficial to his cultivation. "
I was surprised. "Did the redness come back to human nature? "Then who was he?"
Qing Ling replied, "He used to be your Elder Apprentice Brother Ruan's classmate. The two of them studied together in the White Deer Institute … "Then, one time, Red Shadow was killed by a zombie, and his misfortune turned into a zombie. Ruan Zhujing came to the Evergreen Sect and begged me to subdue Red Shadow …"
"So that's how it is! Then why does Red hated Senior Brother Ruan so much? "
According to the rules, if Red and Ruan Martial Brother were classmates, their relationship should be better. Furthermore, Ruan Martial Brother came to the Evergreen Sect for the sake of Ruan Martial Brother, didn't he?
Qing Ling said, "It's a pity that Yuan Zhujing arrived too late. By the time I found the red shadow, he had already undergone a Corpse Transformation …" He burned his brain and turned into a zombie-like creature... Although he was subdued by me, he was no different from a newborn demon from the very beginning. I had to make a blood contract with him to keep him. Now, although he had recovered some of his humanity, he still couldn't remember the past. In his mind, he probably only remembered that it was sent to Evergreen by Yuan Zhujing and me. The demon does not want to be bound, which is why he hates your Senior Ruan. "
I asked, "Then are we still unable to let Hong Hong leave? To what extent must he train to be able to leave the Evergreen Sect? "
Qing Ling: "Zombies can also cultivate to become immortals, but just like ordinary demons and demons, this cultivation process is very long, and Red Shadow's mana is also very strong … "In order to not bring disaster to the people of this world, Red Shadow never left Changqing before he cultivated to the Immortal Realm …"
I was dumbfounded.
However, since the Blood Pact cannot be dissolved, then I will have to go back on my word with Red.
Very consciously, I took out the gem that I had hidden in my chest and handed it back to Red. "I'm sorry, although I have troubled you, I am unable to help you. This gem is for you, thank you for saving me in the cave. "
Upon seeing the gem, Qing Ling was slightly taken aback. "You actually managed to obtain a gem?"
I blushed. "It was Red who helped me get it. However, I once promised him that I would help him break the contract. Since I am unable to do so now, I have no choice but to return the gem to him. "
Qing Ling's gaze wavered as she looked at me. She did not stop me, nor did she express her opinion.
Sigh, after returning the gems, I will no longer be the victor of this Graveyard Sweeping Competition. If I am not the victor, then I will no longer be qualified to follow Xuan Yue to the Heaven Realm … I'm so depressed!
I handed the gem back, and the red one left with its negative aura.
In this Zombie Competition, none of the disciples of the five halls were able to obtain any gems, and the match ended in a draw.
Then, who should be chosen to follow the immortal masters and gain experience in the Heaven Realm? After all, he couldn't let the red gem that was given to him go.
Qing Ling shook his head. "Although Hong Ying has obtained the gem, he is a zombie raised by the Evergreen Sect and was originally arranged to be used in the cave to protect the safety of you disciples who are participating in the competition. Therefore, it is his duty for him to save you, but he is not an official disciple of the Evergreen Sect and does not have the qualifications to go to Heaven Realm."
After that, Qing Ling suggested that the Sect Leader place another treasure into the corpse cave and let the disciples of the five halls compete again, with the winner being the winner. His suggestion was approved by the Sect Leader, thus all my efforts last night were in vain.
Even worse, Qing Ling had unilaterally declared that the Green Wood Palace would give up on this competition, thus, my last hope was dashed.
I desperately grabbed onto Qing Ling's sleeves and asked him: "Why did you give up the competition? We still have a chance to win again! "
Qing Ling looked at me seriously and said in a deep voice, "Bai Wu, it is wrong to take chances!" You shouldn't have gotten Red Shadow to help you in the first place. I hate students who cheat on exams! Now go back to the branch hall and think before you face the wall! "
His loud reprimand drew praises, and everyone praised him for being strict with his own disciples, saying that he had "a strict teacher with a high disciple"; even those who were jealous of me for setting up a scam had their grievances quelled, and had obediently regrouped to fight monsters.
