Empress Heart Sutra

The Lin family's butler presented Soul Contract.

This is an ancient scroll, made from the hide of Ancient Remnant Species or Ancient True Spirit. Various intricate runes are engraved on the contract, and these runes are the contents of the contract, transformed into the form of runes.

Surrounded by numerous runes is the image of a ghost head, which looks ferocious and terrifying.

Upon seeing the Soul Contract, Granny Thousand Hands snorted coldly, cleanly and swiftly cutting her finger with a dagger and dripping her blood onto the ghost head of the contract.

After the demon head was soaked in Granny Thousand Hands' blood, it actually came back to life. It flew away from the contract scroll and entered Granny Thousand Hands' heart.

This ghost head is a curse. Anyone who signs Soul Contract will have their heart devoured by the ghost head and die if they break the contract and their power is insufficient to counteract the curse.

Yi Yun also dripped blood onto the Soul Contract. The ghost head entered his body, and Yi Yun suddenly felt a chill all over his body, as if his soul had left his body in an instant!

At this moment, Granny Thousand Hands looked at Lin Xin Tong.

Without hesitation, Lin Xin Tong lightly traced a line on the pad of her index finger with her fingernail, and with a flick of her slender finger, a drop of blood flew across a distance of six or seven zhang onto the Soul Contract.

Seeing Lin Xin Tong's blood transform into a rune on the Soul Contract, Shentu Nantian revealed a satisfied smile.

"Xin Tong's movements are so graceful..."

Shentu Nantian waved his fan, his gaze fixed on Lin Xin Tong. Looking at Lin Xin Tong's slender and graceful figure, a barely perceptible glint of greed flashed in Shentu Nantian's eyes. After today, this exquisite woman would belong to him!

The pleasures of men and women had already filled Shentu Nantian with anticipation, but that wasn't the most important thing...

More importantly, the Shentu Family not only obtained the Empress's ancient formula in that ancient secret realm, but also a fragment of a cultivation manual passed down by the peerless Empress—the <Empress Heart Sutra>.

This "Empress Heart Sutra" is a method of Dual Cultivation, which is extremely beneficial to male practitioners.

However, this practice requires the woman Dual Cultivation to have the purest Pure Yin Body.

In ancient times, only an unparalleled empress could do that.

Now, only Lin Xin Tong.

By obtaining Lin Xin Tong yin and Dual Cultivation with her, Shentu Nantian Lin Xin Tong could also begin cultivating the <Empress Heart Sutra>. For Shentu Nantian, this was an immense opportunity!

This is also why Shentu Nantian went to great lengths to arrange a marriage alliance with the Lin family.

"Finally signed!"

Shentu Nantian looked at the Soul Contract scroll, and the mark left by Lin Xin Tong on the scroll excited him immensely.

After today, Lin Xin Tong will be mine!

No matter how pure and innocent you are, and how indifferent you are to everyone, won't you still be at my mercy in the future?

Thinking of this, Shentu Nantian's lips curled into a wicked smile.

At this moment, Yi Yun was already standing in front of the Empress's relic. He looked at Shentu Nantian, then at Granny Thousand Hands and the Elder with Long Eyebrows.

The three of them were now standing in front of Yi Yun.

Is it about to begin?

Shentu Nantian had a playful smile on his lips; he wanted to see how Yi Yun would cause trouble.

"Sure, you guys should know the Mysterious Crystal Hand, right?"

Yi Yun's rhetorical question left everyone speechless. It was Mysterious Crystal Hand again!

This Yi Yun... can't you come up with something fresh?

The long-browed old man frowned. He hadn't used that low-level hand seal, the Mysterious Crystal Hand, for countless years. To put it bluntly, using such a hand seal was beneath his dignity!

"Young friend, what do you mean by this? Are you here to make fun of this old man?"

"Even if I wanted to make fun of you all, I wouldn't risk my life. However... I only know the Mysterious Crystal Hand right now, so this is all I can do."

Only knows the Mysterious Crystal Hand?

People had already been suspicious because Yi Yun always used the Mysterious Crystal Hand technique, but now that Yi Yun had said it himself, they were still utterly speechless. A genius Savage Heaven Master, only knew one hand seal— the Mysterious Crystal Hand?

"Hahaha!" Shentu Nantian couldn't help but burst into laughter. This idiot! He only knows the Mysterious Crystal Hand, yet he dares to try and verify the world's top-tier Empress Relic. Has he gone mad?!

Just as Shentu Nantian was about to say something sarcastic to Yi Yun spoke first, saying casually, "Young Master Nantian, what are you laughing at? You seem so happy. Speaking of which, using the Mysterious Crystal Hand shouldn't be a problem for you now, right? Such a simple hand seal is naturally a piece of cake for Young Master Nantian. As for the minor injury you suffered half a month ago, I presume it's already healed?"

Yi Yun's casual remark caused Shentu Nantian's expression to change slightly!

Yes, because the Mysterious Crystal Hand was so simple, he had almost forgotten that he was already injured!

"What? Young Master Nantian is still not fully recovered?"

Yi Yun asked, puzzled. However, beneath the mask, the corners of his mouth curved up slightly once again. He needed help, and finding a master like Granny Thousand Hands would have been enough. But he deliberately dragged Shentu Nantian into the mix because he had already planned to Shentu Nantian again.

Yi Yun has always been a stingy person; he would never let go of any opportunity to Shentu Nantian.

Shentu Nantian's face darkened. Shentu Nantian was very arrogant, and in front of others, he tried his best to maintain the image of a humble gentleman who was calm and composed in everything.

He lives all about his image.

The news that his spiritual sea was severely damaged at the tea party of the Savage Heaven Master half a month ago has been kept secret by the Shentu Family, at least not openly. Otherwise, it would be a shame for a direct descendant of the Shentu Family to injure his spiritual sea for a show performance, requiring a large amount of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to recover, and needing at least a year and a half of recuperation...

If this kind of news gets out, won't people laugh themselves silly?

But Yi Yun, unfortunately, always seems to target Shentu Nantian's wounds, constantly reopening old wounds. This infuriates Shentu Nantian, but there's nothing he can do about it.

"Hmph, it was just a minor injury, it'll heal with a little rest!"

Shentu Nantian's facial muscles twitched. At this moment, putting aside the issue of face, the key point was that the Soul Contract had already been signed. Their obligation to help Yi Yun prove the flaws of the Empress's relic was also written into the Soul Contract.

If Shentu Nantian doesn't fulfill his promise, he doesn't know if Yi Yun might take advantage of the situation. If something goes wrong with the Soul Contract and it fails to be fulfilled, he will suffer a huge loss.

Since that's the case, Shentu Nantian had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.

"Haha, that's great!" Yi Yun laughed maliciously, gently touching the Empress's relic with his fingertips. "My strength is insufficient. Although I can condense the Mysterious Crystal Hand seal, it's unlikely that I can draw energy from the Empress's relic with the seal I condense. That's why I need to borrow your strength."

"You just need to form the hand seals; you don't need to control them. I will guide you through everything!"

With the Purple Crystal, Yi Yun could have extracted the energy from the Empress's relic on his own, but that would have been too extraordinary.

It makes more sense to rely on the power of Granny Thousand Hands and the Elder with Long Eyebrows.

"Did you bring the wild beasts?"

Yi Yun looked towards the Lin family's side, where an elder stepped forward and released a wild beast from a Spiritual Beast pouch.

This is a Fire-Eyed Wolf, about the size of a dog. It has very weak attack power and usually only targets Mortal Blood Realm martial artists, eating their internal organs.

At this moment, the Fire-Eyed Wolf was bound by the cursed seal, baring its teeth and struggling incessantly.

"This is it, I've chosen it according to your requirements."

The elder threw the Fire-Eyed Wolf in front of Yi Yun.

"Okay, let's begin!"

Yi Yun nodded in satisfaction. "The three of you may begin forming the hand seals. There are a total of one hundred talismans in the Mysterious Crystal Hand. You can start forming the seals from the beginning. With your skill level, I'm sure the hand seals you form will be perfect!"

Yi Yun wasn't afraid of these people secretly sabotaging him; with so many people watching, they certainly wouldn't make a mistake in forming the talisman.

"Hmph! You still have more than half an hour left to live, enjoy it!"

Granny Thousand Hands sneered, her thin fingers lightly tapping out the first hand seal of the Mysterious Crystal Hand almost instantly, flawlessly.

For her, this level of hand seals was child's play.

Yi Yun activated his Energy Vision to observe Granny Thousand Hands' hand seal. Although he knew that with so many people watching and the constraints of the Soul Contract, Granny Thousand Hands wouldn't dare to do anything, his naturally cautious nature still led Yi Yun to use his Energy Vision to check the hand seal. Only after confirming that there were no traps like mental attacks within it did Yi Yun use his mental power to guide the hand seal to his side.

Next, Yi Yun drew the hand seal of the long-browed old man.

With two hand seals in hand, one on the left and one on the right, Yi Yun raised his head and looked at Shentu Nantian.

"Young Master Nantian, it's your turn..." Yi Yun said meaningfully.

Everyone else's gaze also fell on Shentu Nantian.

Shentu Nantian's face was very ugly. He snorted coldly and began to form hand seals in a serious manner.

However, this hand seal aroused his soul sea, Shentu Nantian immediately felt a sharp pain in his soul sea, like being pricked by needles, the pain was excruciating!

Shentu Nantian gritted his teeth and endured the excruciating pain, slowly completing the hand seals. The Mysterious Crystal Hand technique, which was usually as simple as it could be, was now causing Shentu Nantian unbearable agony.

"Kid, I'll let you be arrogant for a little while longer. Once you fail and fall into my hands, I'll show you what it means to wish you were dead!"

Shentu Nantian thought to himself, and it seemed that it was with the support of this thought that he managed to complete the first hand seal with great difficulty.

Fortunately, this hand seal was relatively perfect, allowing Shentu Nantian to maintain his appearance.

Yi Yun guided the hand seal towards himself, scanned it with his Energy Vision, and a slight smile curved his lips, "Young Master Nantian is indeed powerful. I'm sure the next ninety-nine will be no problem!"

Yi Yun's words almost made Shentu Nantian choke. Shentu Nantian stared at Yi Yun a livid face, wishing he could devour him alive.

"That brat!" He clenched his fists, his heart filled with extreme resentment. "You only have half an hour to live! What's wrong with me tolerating you for a little while longer?"
