Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

Chapter 371: Everything!

"My Situ family never forgets our benefactor; otherwise, I would not be here now."

The woman nodded. Contrary to Feng Xue, who survived a long time as a spirit, she knew how Situ Chen was now beside her.

Their family implanted part of their memories before the day to their descendants.

This technique had many side effects, as the implanted memories often changed someone's personality in a weird way, making him, in one moment, act like someone else, while other times, he would act like this.

"Honestly, if not because of my ancestor's wish, I would have already let them come in.

Why should we protect all these parasites?"

"Don't you already do it? Why else do they work together now? I thought you were pulling the strings."

"It's not me. Probably another faction from the defender or someone else from the Celestial Court."

"Hah, Celestial Court, what a bullshit name."

"Watch your words. If one of them hears, they will hunt you down."

"They are even more of a coward than this clan you call a parasite."

"When the time comes, everyone will reap what they sow," the woman mumbled coldly.

Situ Chen replied with a nod. "That is why we are here."

Meanwhile, back at the arena, Alex was crouching down, looking at Zhu Zheng's beaten face. One of his eyes was blue as it had swollen shut, part of his teeth were smashed down, and his face was covered in blood.

"Do you want to give up now or continue?" he asked with a grin.

Barely conscious now, Zhu Zheng muttered, "Fuck… You…!"

He had accepted the bet to keep his face, but now, what face did he still have? Everyone in the audience had already seen what happened; he was treated like a toy.

There was nothing he could do now other than defeat Alex to recover it, but he knew he had no capability. Seeing his defiance, Alex smirked, "Is that confidence I will not kill as we are fighting in a competition now?

But you know I could still turn you into a cripple. Imagine what kind of life you will have as one."

Zhu Zheng was quickly filled with despair. He had many enemies; if Alex really crippled him and then took all that he had, his fate would be miserable.

He might be crippled by qi, but that was not the same as his soul. Even if he committed suicide and took his own life, his soul would still survive.

As for extinguishing his own soul, it was easier said than done. Only some people could do this using secret techniques, but what sane cultivator would learn this?

Wasting their time and effort on something that could only be used once would result in their complete demise. Only fanatics and crazy ones.

It had been rumored that many demonic cultivators learned this technique in the past. But that was only thanks to their already volatile foundation, making it easy for them to learn without much investment.

Weighing his options, Zhu Zheng decided to just embrace his fate. He was sure he would be heavily punished as a warning to others after he returned. Little did he know, Alex had other plans for him.

"I surrender," Zhu Zheng said, thinking that despite getting punished, his elder and patriarch would help to remove the deal. The worst in his mind now was losing his current belongings.

He, Alex, and Moria had signed the blood contract.

Moria acted as a boost to make sure the contract was effective, as others thought he was only a golden core cultivator. But in reality, this was not true.

Alex's current strength was more than enough to make sure no one in this world could break the contract single-handedly.

"Winner, Alex!" the host announced as the barrier went down.

Rexar, watching everything from near Reina's seating, was in shock. It was pretty clear Alex would win the whole match, but only now did he really register how much money he had won.

Alex had promised him a 20% share from his winning bet. This was a lot, but adding his own bet on top of it, he was making a huge profit, more than enough for him not to worry about most necessities for a lifetime.

Alex put his hand into his pocket, drawing a rune inside to make sure no one saw what he was doing.

The next moment, Zhu Zheng felt like he was being pushed by an invisible power. He launched from the floor, landing right outside the arena.

Alex then told him, in a voice that only Zhu Zheng could hear, "Meet me after the competition is over. Don't you dare to run away? Even if you die and become a soul, I will look for you."

Zhu Zheng, now having control over his qi back, quickly regained his confidence. He gulped a healing pill, recovering the wound on his head.

"Take this now. I don't want to see you again," Zheng said as he threw his storage ring toward Alex.

Alex caught it, while seeing Zhu Zheng walk back to the seating place. Even though he had lost face, he still needed to do his mission.

Making sure Reina failed was already out of the question, but at the very least, he needed to get a good rank for Morgana.

But his face turned ugly as Alex spoke other words, "Do you not understand what everything means? Do you think it is only your belongings?

Everything is everything; this includes your soul and life. You can try to escape, but I already left a mark on you."

Morgana frowned. "You talk all big, but what is with this result? This loss is your responsibility."

"Shut your trap. You think I don't know about this!" Zhu Zheng replied in an annoyed tone.

Deep inside, this was not his concern. What Alex said shocked him to his core. It could be said he was now his slave.

'I am completely scammed!' Zhu Zheng cursed in his mind.
