Two treasure maps

Beside Guo Bao's wife Zhang, the Taoist nun who had been silent all this time suddenly came close to her and said in a low and urgent voice: "Take the people you think are important and leave first." Zhang was stunned. She had never felt such a pressing atmosphere. Although she felt a little unwilling, she couldn't help but ask: "How about we stay outside and you go and find the treasures of your Taoists first. When you come out, we will go back together."

There was a hint of anticipation and reluctance in her voice. After all, since entering the Wild Wolf Valley, this was the first time she had personally killed prey and felt a sense of prestige she had never experienced before. Moreover, they had agreed before that it would take a month to return to Guojiazhuang. Now only three days had passed. Who could be willing to go back like this?

However, Taoist nun Zhang's expression became more solemn. She shook her head, with a hint of severity in her tone: "Foolish, can't you see that although it only took us three days to get here with you, no one knows how long it will take you to go back alone. Those demon cultivators may attack at any time, and you will be in greater danger here. Leave quickly, or it will be too late."

Zhang was somewhat reluctant to do so after hearing this, but seeing the serious look on Taoist nun Zhang's face, she had to start thinking seriously. At this time, Taoist Shanlan, who was beside Guo Fengli, stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Although the formation here is dangerous, as long as we work together, we may be able to break it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chang Tianshuo came over. He was ordered by his elder brother Chang Tianlong to risk his life to protect the mute Mo Yan. Although he felt a little resentful, Chang Tianshuo still walked to Mo Yan's side and whispered, "No matter what, I will stand by your side."

Guo Meili was held tightly by her sister Guo Liuli, while Guo Lingli followed Mo Yan all the way. Mo Yan looked at the people in front of him and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. Obviously, this formation was directed and performed by Master Qingyue himself. He turned to look at Chang Tianshuo and asked in a voice transmission: "Why aren't you afraid of making a contract with others?"

Chang Tianshuo was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Mo Yan would ask such a question at this time. He thought for a moment and replied, "Meili's soul is not my soul. The soul bond has no effect on me."

Mo Yan suddenly understood after hearing this. He understood that the reason why Chang Tianshuo didn't care about the contract was because of this reason. Indeed, if the soul in the human body is not the original reincarnated soul, then even if you make a contract with it, it is easy to cancel the contract, so that it will not be trapped in the human body and wait for the human body to die before being freed. This discovery made Mo Yan have a deeper understanding of Chang Tianshuo, and also had a clearer plan for their next actions.

"How much do you know about the other people's situation?" Mo Yan asked again, his eyes revealing a kind of exploration and curiosity.

Chang Tianshuo frowned slightly, feeling a little strange about why Mo Yan was so concerned about this matter, but he still chose to answer truthfully. He pondered for a moment, and then said seriously: "The reason why Fire Dragon was able to escape from Guo Feipeng was because his fire spirit root was extremely strong, enough to suppress Guo Feipeng's weak fire spirit root. As a totem of human beings, dragons have had mysterious powers since ancient times, which is also the key to his successful escape. As for Jade Dragon, his situation is similar to that of Fire Dragon, both of them used some kind of mysterious power. As for Bamboo Leaf Green, as long as he can suppress human nature and be free of desire, those mortals will naturally not be able to bear it, and will eventually take the initiative to terminate the contract with him. However, he does not seem to intend to leave at this point. I guess he may have other tasks or purposes."

Just as everyone was talking about it and refusing to leave, suddenly, a sharp wolf howl broke the brief silence. Everyone looked up and saw dozens of huge wolf demons appearing on the mountain. These wolf demons were burly, with thick hair and fierce eyes. They seemed to have not yet awakened their spiritual intelligence. Each one looked unusually tall and fierce. There was a fierce light in their eyes, as if they would pounce on everyone at any time.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and everyone felt a strong sense of uneasiness.

With his hands trembling slightly, Master Qingyue slowly lifted up the contract array. The array was glowing faintly in the afterglow of the setting sun, as if it contained some mysterious power. His eyes revealed a kind of firmness and determination, as if he was ready to face everything.

He took a deep breath and began to chant the spell in a low voice. Every word seemed to carry a thousand pounds of force, echoing in the empty valley. As the spell was chanted, the contract array began to slowly rotate, releasing strange rays of light.

Those lights were like gossamer threads, shuttling and interweaving in the air, gradually forming a complex light net. This light net closely linked those mortals and their contracted guardians together, as if it were an invisible bond.

However, Master Qingyue ruthlessly recited the decisive spell - "Release the Contract!"

With this loud shout, the entire light network suddenly trembled, as if it had been hit by a huge impact. The originally tightly connected ties began to break one by one, making a slight cracking sound. The mortals only felt a throbbing in their hearts, as if they had lost something important, and suddenly felt weak and powerless.

At the same time, the contract guardians also felt the contract break. They knew that they were free! They no longer had to carry the burden of mortals. However, they had to use mortals to enter the Wild Wolf Valley without being noticed by the immortal cultivators.

As the last link was broken, the entire light network completely collapsed, turning into countless tiny pieces of light that dissipated into the air. At the same time, the connection between those mortals and the contracted guardians was also completely severed at this moment.

The moment the weak connection between the mortals and the contracted guardians was completely severed, those mortals who originally felt that they had infinite power suddenly felt weak all over, as if all their strength had been drained away. They looked at the ferocious wolf demons in horror, their hearts filled with fear.

The sound of people running away was heard, and everyone fled in the direction they came from. They did not dare to stay, for fear of being targeted by these wolf monsters. But Master Qingyue stood quietly in place, looking at the fleeing mortals with deep eyes, as if thinking about something. The contract array in his hand had dimmed.

In the crowd, apart from Guo Lin's family, whose contracts had not been resolved, there were still three people whose contracts still bound them. Master Guo Fei, the Buddhist boy who had made a contract with the Golden Armored War God, had a face full of confusion and helplessness. He had already prepared to escape, but the Golden Armored War God remained motionless, as if he was not affected by the termination of the contract at all. His feet also felt locked by invisible chains, and he could not take a step to escape.

The same was true for Guo Fengli. She originally thought that she could quickly escape after canceling the contract with Taoist Shanlan, but the Taoist stood there with a blank expression, and seemed not to intend to leave. Guo Fengli was filled with anxiety and fear. She knew that as long as the Taoist didn't escape, she couldn't escape either.

The most complicated situation was that of Guo Yangli. Her contract with Hong Hu should have been the strongest, but at this moment, Hong Hu seemed to have lost consciousness and stood there motionless. Guo Yangli's face showed despair, she knew that her fate was now completely in the hands of Hong Hu.

At this moment, the three of them truly realized that although they once thought they were the masters of the contract and could control everything, in fact, they were slaves bound by the contract. Their fate was never in their own hands.

Master Qingyue looked at them, with a complex emotion in his eyes. He understood that at this moment, their hearts must be filled with helplessness and despair. But, wasn't this the fate they were supposed to face?
