Artifact Smuggling Specialist

Zuo Lan was silent. At that time, he was obsessed with ghosts. He believed what the voice that suddenly appeared in his ear said, and he took Xue Chongshi's soul crystal away.

However, Xue Chongshi now said "thanks to you", so he seems to have done something wrong.

"You are just a soul warrior now, do you really think you can kill me like this?"

Xue Chongshi sneered again when he heard the words: "Do you want to try?"

Can you try something like this?Zuo Lan rolled his eyes, this life is gone, he can't take this joke, and he can't afford to try it. "If you want to kill me, you have to give me a reason. Your soul crystal—"

"You can say that you don't know anything." Xue Chongshi actually let go of him, and a sick flush suddenly flashed across his face. He covered his lips and coughed, but his face suddenly turned pale again. , "I reached out to you at the time, why didn't you give me the soul crystal?"

"..."

Zuo Lan couldn't answer.

So Xue Chongshi laughed mockingly, "People in this world are so ugly. If you don't know what that means to me, you can forgive me. If you don't——then, you have disappointed me too much." gone."

Zuo Lan raised his eyes: "What does Soul Crystal mean to you?"

"Blood contract, cultivation level." Xue Chongshi, who lost his soul crystal, is similar to a scholar who has no strength to restrain a chicken.He looked at the uncontrollable surprise in Zuo Lan's eyes, and couldn't help stretching out his hand to pinch his neck, "God knows how much I wanted to just break your neck like this."

It's not like he didn't feel his killing intent.

Zuo Lan had no choice but to smile wryly: "I'm sorry, but I'm obsessed with ghosts."

Flipping his hands, he took out the untouched ice-blue soul crystal from the ring. Zuo Lan lowered his eyes, but knew that everything was irreversible. He handed it over, and Xue Chongshi took it gently, and took the little The small half-finger-long thing was placed in the palm of his hand, but there was a bit of confusion and misery in his eyes, he gently held the soul crystal tightly, and said with a smile: "What's the use of getting it now? "

"If you were willing to return the soul crystal to me at that time, how could I have fallen into this situation?" Xue Zhongshi's fingernails were very long, and they gently pinched into the skin on Zuo Lan's neck, causing a sharp pain , his eyes were extremely calm, "You are not from the Throne family, and you don't know the means of the Ten Thrones. That soul crystal was originally related to my life and death, but you held it in your hand. I fell into the crack of the ground, and my cultivation base dropped In the end, it came out after burning the blood contract."

Blood Pact...

Zuo Lan was also very calm, but with his hands covered by his sleeves, he was already holding a heavy front. He was not the one to be slaughtered. If Xue Chongshi really wanted to kill him, he would not be polite, but at this time, There's no need to tear your face apart with him.After all, Zuo Lan still felt that he was indeed ashamed of Xue Chongshi, after all...

He still remembers the look in Xue Chongshi's eyes when he fell into the crack of the ground, and every time he recalls it, he always has a bit of a piercing feeling.

"Then you now..."

"Let me tell you my story, maybe I won't have the chance to tell it in the future." Xue Zhongshi seemed to remember something, and he slowly let go of Zuo Lan. This is a room, the one in Xiyuelou In the guest room, he dragged a chair casually, sat at the table, looked at the soul crystal in his hand, and said slowly, "The Ten Thrones family has a long history. In order to ensure the strength of the family, some strong people must be produced in each generation, but not Every generation has geniuses, and who knows what generation is like? So, there is a special kind of person, a special kind of contract."

Listening to him, Zuo Lan suddenly remembered what Chongyu told him when he was in the Tiankeng in the secret realm. Every generation of the Xue family had a person named Xue Chongshi. At that time, he was thinking, this Is "Xue Chongshi" one person, or many people.

Now the familiar yet unfamiliar man in front of him seems to be about to uncover all this.

The ten families of the Ten Thrones have not changed for a long time. Although it is said that the Thrones Meeting is held every few decades, the Ten Thrones Family has amazing stability. The result of each Thrones Meeting is actually the same. People can pull down one of the Ten Thrones, and the meaning of the Throne Club has gradually become the ranking within the Ten Thrones family, as well as the platform and opportunity for them to release the Throne Mission.

Why is the imperial seat family so amazingly stable?Xue Zhong explained this point better than anyone else.

"You once saw my body as a child. It wasn't because I was born with a dwarf, but because I had a blood bond on my body. I suppressed the growth of my body with a special power and gained more powerful power. Xue family's blood bond power , is based on the premise of not growing up, other families have their own tricks, and the blood contract is a contract signed with the gods. We obtain supernatural power from the gods, and we have to be deprived of something by the gods and dedicate ourselves to everything."

"After signing the blood contract, my body does not completely belong to me. The connection between the soul power and the body is the soul crystal. The soul power does not completely belong to me. The body and cultivation base are separated, and you—take it away lost my soul crystal."

Xue Chongshi pointed Zuo Lan with his finger, and a bitter smile appeared on his lips.He seemed to be exhausted, and actually started that weird change right in front of Zuo Lan.

Originally, the Xue Chongshi that Zuo Lan saw was not the eleven or twelve-year-old child, but a boy of seventeen or eighteen, about the same age as him, but at this time, his facial contours suddenly softened, and his figure Gradually shrinking, it turned into the Xue Chongshi Zuo Lan had seen at first.

In fact, the change in appearance is not big, but the changes in the details caused the overall change, and I didn't feel much shorter, and the whole person became much smaller immediately.

Zuo Lan looked at him, and then Xue Zhongshi said: "I have just forcibly separated from the blood contract, and I cannot maintain a normal state forever."

"..." Zuo Lan sat across from him, and he only felt that what he just said was shocking.

He said: "That is to say, in fact, there is a blood contract in every royal family. People in the royal family use a heavy price to obtain extraordinary power from the gods. The power of this blood contract is very stable, so there will be people in every generation. And for the sake of the family, these blood contracts are fixed, and Xue Liu, the fixed blood contract recipient is—the person named Xue Chongshi in each generation, right?"

"That's right." Xue Zhongshi changed back to the look Zuo Lan was most familiar with, and he seemed to relax. He lay on the table, his cheeks were a little red, and he seemed very weak, "You must feel that these things It’s hard to imagine, right? Xue Liu, the throne, is like this, and so are the rest of the family.”

Every generation has a person named Xue Zhongshi, and he is just one of them.

He is Xue Chongshi, but Xue Chongshi is not entirely him.

From the moment he was born, he knew the sadness of this matter, but everything was irresistible. Under the shackles of the blood contract, the soul crystal became his most important thing, and all his emotions began to change. Weird, sometimes bright and sometimes gloomy, even he himself doesn't know whether to cry or laugh at the next moment, or to be expressionless.

Zuo Lan once asked Xue Zhongshi to see the soul crystal. In fact, when he handed the soul crystal to Zuo Lan after thinking about it, he was already ready to kill him. If Zuo Lan didn't return it or other circumstances occurred...

Xue Chongshi, who left the soul crystal, is just an ordinary soul cultivator with a meager cultivation base.

This is also the reason why Throne Xue Liu dared to let him move around at will, because once he leaves the soul crystal, without the restriction of the blood contract, he will change from strong to weak, and that kind of gap is not something ordinary people can bear.

If Zuo Lan at that time knew the secret of the blood contract on his body, he might be in danger. He still hasn't figured out why he chose to show the soul crystal to Zuo Lan, because it is tantamount to To expose one's weakness to the eyes of others, the previous Xue Zhongshi would never allow such a thing to happen.

These things were recalled by Xue Chongshi, and Zuo Lan could guess them.

Thinking back at that time, he heard a voice similar to Lincang's, saying that he had seized Xue Chongshi's soul crystal, and I'm afraid that person had premeditated plans.Lincang is not a good person, but Zuo Lan has to admire this person's scheming and strategy, he is ruthless enough to take advantage of everything.

Xue Chongshi at that time, maybe he had something that could restrain Lincang?

Many mysteries have not been solved yet, but sooner or later they will.

Zuo Lan said: "Then you..."

"As you can see, the blood contract was released, and I became the lowest-level soul disciple." Xue Chongshi laughed ironically again, holding up the soul crystal, injected some soul power, and then made it glow Bright, "Being able to sew out of the ground alive is already a miracle. I don't want to expect too much."

"After the blood contract is lifted, is the only result is a drop in cultivation base?" If that's the case, Zuo Lan believes that Xue Chongshi will not be silent for so many years. He can see that Xue Chongshi is a genius, but a genius is bound by the blood contract, showing What came out was not his true genius, the power of the blood pact was never his own power, he believed that every cultivator, as long as he really knew what he wanted, would not be willing to accept this kind of power.

Temporarily, it may be an expedient measure, but for a long time, that is the idea only of the greedy and the weak.

Xue Chongshi seemed to give him admiration for his sharpness, and then answered his question: "People who come into contact with the blood contract will be automatically expelled from the family. Damn it, you can still see me here now because I don't have the strength and courage to appear in the Central Plains No. [-] Soul Academy area."

The area of ​​the First Soul Academy in the Central Plains is the headquarters of the Soul Art Association, the location of the First Soul Academy, and the location of the Ten Thrones. Almost every family headquarters of the Thrones is there. In addition, the Soul Emperor Hall Also in the Central Plains area.

Xue Liu, the throne, is naturally there too.

The Central Plains District is the center of the entire continent, and it is also the place with the most masters in the entire continent. It is also a place where various forces meet, intricately and horizontally, and fish and dragons are mixed.The main force and family of Xue Liu, the throne, are also in the Central Plains area. Xue Zhongshi has now lifted the blood contract and has become a traitor. If he doesn't want to die, he will naturally not go to the Central Plains No. [-] Soul Academy area.

But there is a premise-

"You were forced to rescind the blood contract because of me. You didn't do it voluntarily. Is this considered a traitor?" If Xue Zhongshi and the people from the throne Xue Liu made it clear, they would also be considered traitors?In this case, Xue Liu, the throne, would be too unreasonable.

As if he had expected Zuo Lan to ask this question a long time ago, Xue Chong explained: "I said that I was forced, would you believe me? At that time, you were just a little soul warrior, and you hadn't even reached the realm of a soul master. , why can you force me to cancel the blood contract? What's more, when I fell into the crack of the ground, it was indeed the blood contract that I came into contact with. I don't want to die, and I don't want to be the puppet of Xue Liu, the throne."

The last sentence is his true purpose, right?

Zuo Lan also felt ironic, he laughed and said, "You canceled the blood contract because you didn't want to stay in Xue Liu, the throne, but when you came in, you said 'thanks to me'."

"If you hadn't taken away my soul crystal, I wouldn't have fallen to where I am today. Just imagine if you are in a desperate situation when you have lost all your cultivation, are you willing to be controlled by the blood contract until you die, or are you dying?" Freed before?" Xue Zhongshi's eyes seemed to have a faint blood, "It's just that there is no unparalleled road, and even the gods cannot eliminate all the betrayers."

When he said this, his voice was very low, and it seemed that there was still immaturity on that young and green face, but—these words were not immature at all.

Zuo Lan only felt that it was a bit inconsistent. After all, he had seen Xue Chongshi's real body before, and then saw the child's body. The disparity between soul and body gave the person in front of him a contradictory temperament, but he seemed a little confused , Zuo Lan would always mistakenly think that he was talking to a child, but the child spoke in an old-fashioned tone.

God, Betrayer.

Zuo Lan has always felt that the gods of the Soul Continent are just legendary things, even more illusory than the soul saints, because he knows that the soul saints existed in history, but the gods have never appeared in any documentary history books.The appearance of gods is often only seen in the notes of some gods and monsters.

It seems that everyone in the Soul Continent believes in gods, and some people like to talk about gods, but Zuo Lan feels that not many people believe in the existence of gods.

But at this moment, when Xue Chongshi said it in such a solemn tone, it seemed to be true.

Xue Zhongshi compares himself to a traitor, and the gods should easily destroy the traitor.

"I believe you are very interested in the world under the ground." Xue Chongshi suddenly said another sentence, as if sighing.

Zuo Lan's heart moved, but he didn't say anything, just looked at Xue Chongshi.

Xue Chongshi suddenly asked: "Do you know Shadow Continent?"

Shadow Continent?

Why did the topic suddenly turn to this?

No, wait, what they were talking about earlier was—the world under the seams!

"Did you go to Shadow Continent?"

"No, I just suddenly remembered a legend that a person without a demon will never be able to reach the Shadow Continent, even if he wanders in Tianyuan for thousands of years."

Shadow Continent, a place that people without demons can't reach.

Because of his words, Zuo Lan didn't speak for a long time.

Soul Continent, Tianyuan, Shadow Continent—— Zuo Lan, who is in Soul Continent, is naturally extremely curious about the unknown Shadow Continent.

But Xue's re-interpretation made his curiosity suddenly covered with a veil of mystery.

Heart demon.

At that moment, he had a lot of guesses in his brain, but after watching Xue Zhongshi for a long time, he still felt that he was too indifferent, so he held back and didn't ask.

He thought for a long time, and finally asked the most realistic question: "Then what do you do now?"

Lost the protection of the family, and even faced with being chased and killed, he was in danger at any time, and what was even more troublesome was that his cultivation base was at a low level, and he was alone, what should he do?

"Didn't I come to look for you?" Xue Zhongshi said lightly.

Zuo Lan was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

"You came to Xiyuelou just to participate in the auction?" Xue Chongshi asked.

Zuo Lan shook his head: "I came here because of some special things."

As for the special matter, only Zuo Lan himself knows, but Xue Chongshi is not an ordinary person. May not know.

"At this time, you came here. Even if this so-called special matter has nothing to do with this auction, it will eventually fall into the matter of cross-regional trade."

At this moment, Zuo Lan's expression changed slightly.The purpose of Xue's re-interpretation seems to be...

"When I was in Xueliu, the throne, I saw some information about the cross-regional trade of the Zuo family. This time - the cross-regional trade of the Zuo family was directly pushed into a desperate situation. You came to Jiucheng at this time. The timing What a coincidence, I only had this plan when I saw you."

"What's the plan?"

"If you are already thinking about cross-regional trade, I would like to participate." Xue Chongshi rubbed his eyes, and when he said this, his expression was a little lazy.

At this time, Zuo Lan suddenly wanted to slap this guy to death. He suspected that this guy could read minds, so he gritted his teeth and said, "How do you want to participate? Don't blame me for speaking harshly. You have fallen into this situation, although it is indeed It's my fault, but this world is a world where the weak prey on the strong, and you said the same thing yourself, you don't have the strength, so why should I cooperate with you."

Yes, he was the one who told Zuo Lan about the law of survival in this world, but at that time, Xue Chongshi didn't want to tell Zuo Lan about such a cruel law.However, what Zuo Lan gave him was infinite cruelty.

It's the past, he didn't want to say too much, just rubbed the center of his brow, reached out and grabbed a handful of soul crystals in his palm, "I don't have great strength now, only endless soul crystals. "

……

Die the local tyrants!

Zuo Lan was directly shocked by Xue Zhongshi!

Local tycoon!Xue Tuhao! ! !

He flipped his hand just now, and grabbed a handful of soul crystals, all of which are heavenly grades! !Wipe it away, according to Zuo Lan's visual inspection, there should be seven or eight in that one, all of which are mid-level Tianpin!How much is this one?Seventy-eight million soul crystals! ! !

your sister!Zuo Lan now feels that he is a local tyrant, but he only has 4000 million soul crystals, but just now Xue Zhongshi's understatement turned out to be 8000 to [-] million! ! !Do you want people to live? !Nima himself thinks he is a local tyrant, but in fact, compared with the real local tyrant, he is still poor!

Xue Tuhao, do you dare to be more awesome?

At that moment, Zuo Lan really wanted to kneel down to Xue Chongshi directly.

He could almost hear himself swallowing...

If it is said that in this world, Zuo Lan's favorite thing--the soul crystal is probably the only one.

Xue Zhongshi pinched Zuo Lan's Achilles' heel.

Moreover, Zuo Lan is really short of money now, the problem of cross-regional trade cannot be solved with a little money, if he still has a stable financial source behind him...

Just thinking about it, Zuo Lan's mind widened again. He stared at Xue Chongshi for a long time, and felt that this guy was cute again.

He resisted the desire to pounce, reached out and clenched his fist, pressed it to his lips, coughed in a serious manner, glanced at his hand, and then turned his gaze back to Xue Chongshi's face, "You...are you Do you really want to work with me?"

Isn't this the big fat sheep that came to your door—no, the local tyrant who sent you to your door—isn't it?If I don't kill him harshly, I'm really sorry for Zuo Lan's plucking virtue.

Xue Chongshi yawned again, his face was expressionless, his cheeks were rosy, "You don't have to doubt my sincerity, it's not that I haven't considered cooperating with other people, but those people are too smart and too dangerous, after thinking about it, you'd better Appropriate, if you don't have the idea of ​​killing me and grabbing the soul crystal, our cooperation can be settled at this time."

"..." The corners of Zuo Lan's mouth twitched, didn't he ever think of killing him and grabbing the soul crystal?Actually...he had been thinking that way just now...

But Xue Zhongshi made it clear that he couldn't be boring himself, so he glanced at other places in a concealed manner, "Of course it's very good to be able to cooperate..."

He originally wanted to talk about other things, to have a good talk with Xue Chongshi about the upcoming cooperation, but Xue Chongshi shook his head.

"You can carry me to the auction to have a look. I'm sleepy and I can't walk."

He said lightly, putting his arms together on the table, resting his head on his arms, and closing his eyelids bit by bit.

Zuo Lan: "..."

No, that... Is this topic going too fast?

How old are you and do you still need others to carry it?Well, the current Xue Chongshi does look like a child, but Zuo Lan never treats this guy as a child, okay?

"Can you recite it?" Xue Chongshi continued to be expressionless.

……

When squatting down to carry people, Zuo Lan thought secretly, giving himself a psychological hint, he didn't carry Xue Chongshi because he was too pitiful, he did it for Xue Chongshi's countless soul crystals back.

When he returned upstairs with Xue Chongshi who seemed to have fallen asleep on his back, Zuo Qiu looked at the person he was carrying, with a little surprise in his eyes, but he didn't ask more out of politeness, but looked at Zuo Lan. The look in his eyes is obviously a bit weird.

Zuo Lan smashed the pot, and didn't think about whether Zuo Qiu regarded Xue Chongshi as his illegitimate child. He just walked to the front of the counter, stretched out his right hand, the black ring, and immediately entered the auction through the VIP channel field.

Sitting in the quiet auction field wearing a cloak, Zuo Lan released Xue Zhong, and just reached out to touch his face when he heard him say: "I'm not asleep, but I don't want to open my eyes now, don't slap my face casually .”

Xue Chongshi was sitting next to him, also wearing a cloak, but at this moment he seemed to think the seat was too hard, so he reached out and hugged Zuo Lan's waist, then lay down by himself, and put his head on Zuo Lan's lap ,Keep sleeping.

Zuo Lan could only draw black lines, tried his best to ignore Zuo Qiu's strange eyes, took a deep breath, resisted the urge to shoot Xue Chongshi to death, looked at the upcoming auction, and kept telling himself: I am a man who is going to become a rich man!This difficulty is just a test, nothing!
