Zhou Xiongba paid close attention and read the words on the scroll.
This volume of 'Life and Death Contract' was obviously made by a high-level magic cultivator, using the skin of giant monsters as material to attract the power of gods and demons to witness.
In the corner of the scroll, there is a seal with the words "Seal of the Governor of Daning Dongzhou".
This scroll has magical power. Once he signs his name, the spirit will be controlled by him and he cannot go back on it.
Therefore, Zhou Xiongba had to be a little more careful to ensure that there was nothing in the 'Life and Death Contract' that he could not accept.
After a while, Zhou Xiongba and his wife both looked relaxed, and everyone came forward one after another.
They used their blood as ink and their fingers as pens to write their names on the scrolls.
"All the ninth-level martial arts cultivators who participated in the battle for the secret realm also came forward to press their fingerprints."
The red-robed official clasped his hands behind his back and scanned the people present with sharp eyes.
"About 7,900 years ago, there was a dispute over the secret realm of Longyuan. The parties involved continued to argue and regarded each other as enemies and attacked and killed each other, resulting in numerous tragedies. In the end, it even affected the entire world, so much so that the Song Dynasty at that time The dynasty collapsed at the height of its power, giving the giant wizard of the north an opportunity to take advantage of.
If it hadn't been for the birth of King Wulietian Ming Qianqiu three hundred years later, our human race's Chinese state would have almost disappeared, and you would still be the food pigs and dogs raised by those giant witches! Therefore, in all dynasties since the Song Dynasty, anyone who fights for a secret realm must sign a life-and-death contract, and cannot be held accountable afterwards.
Please hear me clearly. This life and death contract was made by the "Shen'ao Sanren" thousands of years ago. It is witnessed by gods and demons on the top, and is sealed by the governor of our court on the bottom. It is blessed by divine power and imperial power. Once you disobey, you will surely die by the sword! "
Many of the ninth-grade people present had stern looks on their faces, and they clasped their fists at the same time, making a thunderous sound: "No! I will keep the bachelor's words in mind."
The middle-aged man wearing a red official robe is the master of Lunwu Building in Dongzhou, a fourth-grade 'Bachelor of Divine Machinery' in the current dynasty.
At this time, a large group of people swarmed up and pressed the blood seal on the life and death contract.
Chu Xisheng had his hands behind his back and looked cold and arrogant, watching quietly from the side, as if he didn't bother to be in the company of everyone.
He was actually worried that he would be stabbed in the crowd.
But at this time, he felt a little confident again.
After the arrival of many experts led by the Bachelor of Divine Machinery, his number of martial arts points exploded again, increasing to sixty-three.
This allows him to upgrade his Wind Chasing Knife or Wind and Thunder Martial Intent.
It wasn't until the crowd in front of the scroll began to thin that Chu Xisheng walked over. He cut his left thumb open with a knife and pressed it on the scroll.
Just when Chu Xisheng returned to his original position, five hundred fingerprints had been collected on the scroll.
At this time, the scholar of divine mechanics looked at the scrolls with a solemn expression, examining them one by one.
Once he was sure that all the signatures and fingerprints were authentic, he flicked his sleeves and put away the life and death contract.
"Okay, this life and death contract is also the key to entering the secret realm. Only those who leave their names on the life and death contract can enter the secret realm. Afterwards, this thing will be collected in Dongzhou Lunwu Building as a certificate-"
At this moment, a chuckle came from the cloud sky.
"Looks like I'm not late."
It was a sharp male voice that sounded like the hammering of gold and stone. It seemed to come from high in the sky, and it seemed to sound from all directions, making it difficult to identify its location.
"Since you haven't entered yet, please add me, my nephew."
At this moment, a black figure suddenly fell from the sky.
He fell from the thousand-foot cloud and should have been smashed into a pulp. When it landed, it was extremely light, not even raising the dust around it.
This person is thin and it is difficult to tell whether he is male or female. His long black hair is spread unmanaged behind his back. He wears a black iron mask on his face, revealing only a pair of cold and aloof eyes, as mysterious and deep as the night. , dark, and as cold as ice.
What surprised Chu Xisheng was that this person was covered in bandages with runes painted on them.
The exposed part of the body is made of metal—it's not armor, but a real metal body.
The Bachelor of Divine Machinery also turned back to look at this person. He frowned and looked up into the sky.
"Si can't! The list of people to enter the secret realm has been decided. You are late."
Chu Xisheng's pupils shrank slightly when he heard the word 'Si Feng'.
He was familiar with this name. The first book he read after coming to this world, "On the Divine Machinery of Martial Arts", recorded his name.
This is the twenty-third number on the Earth Ranking, a third-grade martial arts cultivator who has been ranked on the 'Earth Ranking' all year round.
What is concerning is that he also has a sister named 'Si Wutian', ranked 19th on the heavenly list. Together they are known as 'lawless' and are famous evil spirits in the world.
"The list has been decided?" Si Feng, who was hiding in the clouds and had difficulty in distinguishing his position, said coldly: "Isn't this list decided by you? Wouldn't it be nice to leave one empty? Or you can let me, my nephew, help."
Just as he finished speaking, the man in the iron mask turned into an afterimage and flashed.
He rushed towards the nearest group of people, and before anyone could react, the head of a ninth-level martial artist was broken and a fountain of blood spurted out.
This happens to be Shuiyun Palace's team.
'Shadowless Sword' Zhuo Baiyun immediately became furious: "How outrageous!"
His waist immediately made a "choking" sound, and the sword actually came out without a trace, almost to the extreme.
The Iron Masked Man's knife was also so fast that it was difficult for the naked eye to reach it.
A large cloud of sparks and the trembling sound of swords instantly exploded between the two of them.
Chu Xisheng has the talent of 'five-sense psychic', so he can see clearly.
In the hands of the armored man, he clearly held a pair of butterfly swords.
And just after seven short rounds, 'Shadowless Sword' Zhuo Baiyun took the initiative to retreat.
A bloodstain appeared under his left cheek, and below this bloodstain was his neck.
Zhuo Baiyun held the sword in his hand, his face looking extremely ugly for a moment.
Zhou Xia, the 'Pearl Immortal' of Shuiyun Palace, had a gloomy face.
The man in the iron mask killed their subordinates from Shuiyun Palace, but Zhou Xia could not move.
At this moment, a sword intent appeared in the sky, reaching directly between her eyebrows.
No matter what movement she makes now, the sword intention can penetrate deep into her eyebrows.
"Look, isn't this position now vacant?" Si Feng smiled softly again: "I'll trouble you, Bachelor, to open the life and death contract and let us record your name."
The scholar of divine mechanics had a stern look on his face, but in the end he snorted coldly and reopened the scroll.
"You can leave your name, but those who enter this secret realm cannot exceed the ninth level and the age cannot exceed eighteen."
"This doesn't need to be reminded by the bachelor. I know the rules set by Shen'ao Sanren."
Si Wen couldn't show up yet, but his name appeared on the scroll out of thin air.
The man in the iron mask also walked over.
His hands were made of steel, so he didn't take fingerprints. Instead, he cut a wound on his neck, took out a little blood and wrote three words on the scroll.
Chu Xisheng looked carefully in the distance and saw the word "Si Huangquan".
At this time, everyone present looked solemn.
The silver-striped tiger Lu Chen, the white-browed tiger Ying Haobai, the corpse dog Li Manshan and others all frowned.
This Si Huangquan's combat power was clearly superior to that of several Qingyun geniuses.
"Trouble." Zhou Xiangshan couldn't help but frowned, looking at the armored man: "This person should be Tiexiu Luo Si Huangquan, who is ranked 98th on the 'Capital Qingyun List'. This person has not gone to Hezhou and Luozhou. Those two ninth-grade secret realms came to our Dongzhou."
Chu Xi thought to herself that this is called cleverness.
Heluozhou is the essence of Daning. It is adjacent to Gyeonggi and has countless masters and geniuses. The battle for the secret realm between these two places is probably going to be extremely fierce.
Otherwise, he would choose a secret realm elsewhere to avoid involution.
Zhou Xiangshan looked back at Chu Xisheng again: "Young Master Chu, this person's strength is not bad, but he is still inferior to you. If you meet this person, you must be more careful."
Chu Xisheng held the sword on his chest with both hands, his face expressionless: "No need to worry about it, just come and block it."
Zhou Xiangshan raised his eyebrows, thinking that this person probably didn't take Si Huangquan seriously.
But Chu Xisheng does have this qualification.
Zhou Liangchen nodded slightly, this was exactly his ideal style of a master.
Chu Xisheng's face was stiff and his scalp was numb.
He guessed that no matter how careful he was, it would be useless.
'Shadowless Sword' Zhuo Baiyun's sword was already so fast that it frightened him. It was at least two lines faster than his Wind Chasing Sword.
Si Huangquan's pair of butterfly swords was even more difficult for him to resist.
Although he has the second-stage wind-chasing and lightning-chasing hand, he is still far behind in terms of magic weapons and secret move totems.
If he faced Si Huangquan, his head would fly away if he met him.
At this moment, the scholar of magic machine had already put away the scroll and threw it into the secret realm of the valley.
The scroll disappeared into the clouds and mist behind the valley entrance, and the next moment, hundreds of silver lights flew out.
The total number was about five hundred, which fell into the hands of the master of Lunwu Tower with great accuracy.
