The Misty Mountains, still shrouded in a veil of dense mist as ever…
However, deep within the earth, continuous tremors could be felt coming from a distance.
“Back already?” As if sensing something, Yu Zi Yu, rooted at the peak of the Himalayan Mountains, slightly raised the corner of his lips as he turned his gaze toward the south of the Misty Mountains.
After a moment, what came into his view was a wave of soil surging toward him. Along with it was a figure resembling a sculpture, slowly emerging from the ground. In his hand, he carried what seemed like a fragile, yet very tall figure.
“Hmm!?” Squinting his eyes, Yu Zi Yu looked at the girl in the arms of Qing Gang. She had a purple veil covering her face, and she seemed to be in a state of unconsciousness.
At this moment, as if sensing Yu Zi Yu’s scrutinizing gaze, Qing Gang went down on his one knee, respectfully reported, “Master, this Qing Gang has successfully completed the mission.”
Then, he placed the girl he was carrying into the large hand formed by several branches extended by Yu Zi Yu.
“She is part of the ASEAN delegation, and possesses terrifying talents. Her name seems to be Aisha, one of the three great nuns of Buddhism of the Alliance of Southeast Asian Nations…” Recalling information about the girl, Qing Gang proceeded to recount it word for word.
“Buddhism and one of the three great nuns?” Yu Zi Yu was slightly taken aback by Qing Gang’s recount. A tinge of surprise flashed in his eyes as he looked at the unconscious girl.
He was not unfamiliar with Buddhism. It was the official religion of a great nation within the Alliance of Southeast Asian Nations, and was already quite influential even before the arrival of the Era of Transcendence.
According to the information conveyed by Qing Er, Buddhism seemed to have undergone significant changes since the rise of Spiritual Energy. It was now extremely mysterious, especially the leaders sitting at the highest position in Buddhism. So much so that even the higher-ups of the Chinese Government held some fear toward it.
Yet now, the highest-ranking great nun of such a large religion was captured by Qing Gang.
“Good job.” Smiling, Yu Zi Yu felt a bit satisfied.
When it came to Human prodigies, this great nun would certainly have a place among them.
After all, even when in a state of unconsciousness, the terrifying fluctuations of Spiritual Energy emanating from her body were a constant reminder of how extraordinary her talents were.
Of course, her talents paled compared to Qing Er and Nine Tails.
One reason was that the speed of Human cultivation was naturally slower.
The second reason was that Qing Er and Nine Tails had access to abundant resources provided by Yu Zi Yu.
It could be said that the steady growth of Qing Er and Nine Tails was based on the increasingly terrifying foundation of Misty Mountains.
However, that was not the main point.
The key point was that this Human prodigy could be a very good test subject. Furthermore, she was quite an exotic beauty.
Although Yu Zi Yu did not care much for one’s appearances, he found her quite pleasing to the eye at first glance.
With a gentle wave of his branches, he lifted the purple veil covering the girl’s face, revealing a very delicate countenance.
She was truly beautiful. Her sleek and sharp face accentuated her well-defined features. Her dark brown thick eyebrows and jet black eyes were like black holes, forcibly drawing all the touching light toward them. Her delicate and smooth vermilion lips were hot enough to make people hesitate to approach. As for her pure and delicate skin, if one looked closely for a few minutes, he or she might even detect a strange and intoxicating fragrance.
As for her lower body…
Her graceful neck, delicate collarbones, and the alluring curves, with the thin veil draped over them…
She looked more like a mature woman rather than a pure, innocent young girl.
[She is really an exotic beauty.] Smiling, Yu Zi Yu’s eyes twinkled slightly. [No wonder she is wearing a purple veil. Without it, she might have caused a sensation through the entire nation. Unfortunately…]
As if he had thought of something, Yu Zi Yu shook his head helplessly.
At the end of the day, he was a tree; he could not have any other thoughts.
What he could do now was to sign a ‘Blood Covenant’ with the girl while she was unconscious and then attempt to gain complete control over her, from her body to her mind.
As these thoughts surged in his mind, Yu Zi Yu’s Spiritual Energy surged.
*Boom…*
The next moment, a terrifying rumble resounded as an inexplicable force began to surge.
Immediately after, to Qing Gang’s astonished gaze, a strand of blood-red energy rose from Yu Zi Yu’s tree body.
This blood-red strand was very eerie, and very much like blood, but it was as fine as a strand of hair.
What was even more astonishing was that this strand of blood-red energy flowed along the air like it was flowing through veins, surging toward the unconscious girl.
“Ahh…” A nearly imperceptible moan escaped her lips as a deep furrow appeared on her brow. However, before Qing Gang could react, the hair-thin blood-red strand penetrated into the girl’s glabella with a loud clap.
At the same time, a complex yet ancient-looking pattern began to form continuously on the girl’s glabella.
At the same time, Yu Zi Yu’s mind shook slightly. Vaguely, he felt a faint connection being established between him and the girl. However, this connection was very faint…
“This feeling…” Yu Zi Yu murmured to himself, intrigued by this unusual sensation.
After a while, his consciousness sank into the deepest part of his mind.
The next moment, he saw an endless expanse of darkness, like a space deep within his mind.
In the depths of this space, there was a complex blood-red brand.
An inscription was being drawn in his mind…
And with each stroke, the blood-red brand became increasingly intricate. Furthermore, with the passage of time, this complex brand began to exude an ancient and profound aura.
“A blood-red brand, proof of the covenant…”
Looking at this blood-red brand, a realization suddenly dawned upon Yu Zi Yu.
In his subconsciousness, a voice told him, ‘This is the core of his control over the girl Aisha — this blood-red brand.’
Through this blood-red brand, he could easily perceive everything about Aisha and control her every aspect. If he wished, he could take everything from Aisha by shattering this blood-red brand. It was not just her body but her soul as well.
This was the terrifying power of the ancient ability — Blood Covenant.
