Chapter 973 - One of the Strongest Techniques of Forming a Contract

“This Ling Chuxi dared to kill our Blood Beast Sect leader. I will lead my disciples to seek revenge for our leader,” said the hot-tempered second elder with a face full of hatred as he immediately stood up.

“Hold on, dear elders. You should stay behind to protect the sect. Since Ling Chuxi dared to rob our sect’s holy relic, she most likely has a backup plan. Let me take revenge for Master,” said Yi Li quietly as she wiped the tears from her face.

“Young Master, that person’s strength is most likely not that weak.” The elders thought about it and felt that she made sense, but they still felt uneasy.

“Don’t worry. I have followed Master for so many years and have already learned the Underworld Beast Contract Technique. No matter how strong she is, I will avenge Master,” said Yi Li confidently.

“Is what you said true?” asked the elders in surprise. Aunt Yi was even more surprised. The Underworld Beast Contract Technique was one of the strongest contract techniques in the Blood Beast Sect, right after the holy relic.

Yi Li nodded solemnly.

“Young Master, the sect leader has given me a new lease on life. This time, I will go with you to avenge the sect leader.” Aunt Yi begged bitterly. She would only feel at ease if she witnessed Ling Chuxi’s death personally.

“Alright, when you have recovered, we will set off together.” Yi Li nodded. She knew nothing about Ling Chuxi. With Aunt Yi around, it would definitely be much more convenient.

By this time, the other sect disciples also felt that something was wrong and rushed to the ancestral hall.

Not long after, there were bursts of heart-wrenching cries and angry roars filled with hatred coming from within and without the ancestral hall

…

The horizon revealed a hint of white. After finally appeasing the furious disciples of the sect, Yi Li and a few elders walked out of the ancestral hall, exhausted.

“Young Master, I feel that there is something amiss withAunt Yi’s return this time. I don’t think her words can be completely trusted.” Although the cautious great elder believed most of what Aunt Yi had said, he still had some doubts.

“Great Elder, don’t worry. Let me find Ling Chuxi first. I will investigate it properly then pass my own judgment,” said Yi Li solemnly. The figure of the person who fled in a hurry appeared in her mind. In fact, she didn’t believe everything that Aunt Yi had said either. But if she wanted to find discover the truth, she would have to start with Aunt Yi.

“Then I am relieved.” Great Elder nodded.

At this time, Qing Lingyan had left the Blood Beast Sect safely.

“What is the treasure of the Blood Beast Sect?” Qing Lingyan couldn’t suppress her curiosity anymore. She opened the wooden box but was shocked.

“Ling Chuxi? How is this possible?! How can her portrait appear among the Blood Beast Sect’s treasure?” Qing Lingyan was so shocked that she almost dropped the wooden box.

“No, it’s not her.” After staring at it for a moment, Qing Lingyan finally noticed the slight differences between the woman in the portrait and Ling Chuxi. She finally calmed down a little.

Although she could confirm that the woman in the portrait was not Ling Chuxi, she had an intuition that this woman must have a mysterious connection with Ling Chuxi. And this intuition made Qing Lingyan feel extremely uneasy.

After a while, Qing Lingyan forced herself to suppress the uneasiness in her heart. She took out the bracelet and studied it for a long time, but she did not find anything unique about it.

“Forget it, I don’t want to think too much. I’ll think of a way to deliver the bracelet to Ling Chuxi first.” Qing Lingyan put away the bracelet as she decided her next moves.
