A rare opportunity

Chapter 815 Family Opportunity

"Alright! In that case, our White Dragon Sect welcomes Deputy Sect Leader Duan to join us! You and I will sign a life and death contract, and from now on we will live and die together!"

Seeing Duan Kaishan being the first to step forward and sign a life-and-death contract with him, Xi Wuyou was secretly delighted! Although he could see that some elders were already tempted, no one was willing to show their hand! This was because they had concerns!

Firstly, it was embarrassing. After all, signing a life and death contract with someone was not a glorious thing. Once a life and death contract was signed, one became the other party's slave! One's life was tied to the other party's.

However, this bond is one-sided. The Life and Death Contract is essentially a master-servant contract. If the master dies, the servant must also die. However, the servant's death does not affect the master. Of course, as with other master-servant contracts, the master can take the servant's life at any time if he so desires. In other words, the servant's life is completely in the master's hands.

In this case, the servant is like a dog and must protect the master's safety at all times.

Once they sign a life and death contract with Xi Wuyou, their reputation in the cultivation world will be ruined.

Secondly, they distrusted Xi Wuyou. After all, the Xianxia Sect held a deep hatred for the White Dragon Sect, a grudge they held for genocide. They didn't believe Xi Wuyou would let them go so easily.

They suspected that the so-called signing of a life and death contract was just a way for Xi Wuyou and others to humiliate them. If they agreed, Xi Wuyou might not really sign it with them!

Even though they had signed a life-and-death contract and could be killed at any time, they would not casually take their lives, as it had consumed their spiritual power. After all, they were also Saint-level powerhouses, and whether as slaves or thugs, they were extremely rare. They would not easily let them die!

After hearing what Li Yu said, Xi Wuyou naturally wanted them to work for the White Dragon Sect. However, he needed an opportunity, a gap, and a leader!

The appearance of Duan Kaishan helped him solve this problem, so he immediately signed a life and death contract with him.

The so-called life and death contract is a contract sworn by the soul and witnessed by the laws of heaven. Once signed, unless one transcends this world, they will be protected by the laws of heaven and bound by the contract.

As a Saint-level cultivator, no one wants to die! Seeing that Duan Kaishan and Xi Wuyou had successfully signed the contract, he finally knew that Xi Wuyou was not lying. He immediately signed life and death contracts with Xi Wuyou, Han Xiuzhi, and others. Of course, Hu Yishan was the exception.

It wasn't that Hu Yishan didn't want to, but he really was a little embarrassed! After all, he had just scolded Gu Changfeng. However, watching those elders submit to the White Dragon Sect one by one, he felt a little regretful! Regret for being too impulsive!

Honestly, he wasn't an impulsive person. In fact, if someone else had been the first to sign the contract, not Gu Changfeng, he might have remained silent. He simply disliked Gu Changfeng and constantly sought to oppose him. He'd forgotten that they were no longer the Xianxia Sect's deputy leader and grand elder, but captives!

Seeing that he was the only one left there, Hu Yishan couldn't help but look miserable! He couldn't help but close his eyes! He kept muttering:

"They are all traitors! They are all spineless! They are all bastards! They are willing to lower their status and become slaves just to save their own lives. They shamelessly betray the sect! I am not ashamed to be associated with them!

Sect Master! Please wait for me. I feel ashamed of your cultivation over the years. I will follow you now..."

The sadness is beyond words.

However, Xi Wuyou didn't want to see him continue his performance. He snorted coldly and said:

"Hmph! So, Elder Hu wants to sacrifice his life for the sect? Very well then! Today I will grant your wish!"

Hu Yishan opened his eyes abruptly upon hearing this, staring in horror at Xi Wuyou, who was approaching him. He thought to himself, "That's wrong! Shouldn't they, seeing how loyal I am to the Xianxia Sect, have tried to persuade me more? Why is this kid playing against common sense? Is this a botched performance?"

If his previous words to Duan Kaishan were a knee-jerk reaction, then what followed was pure performance! It was simply to attract the attention of Xi Wuyou and the others! After all, even though they were both signing life-and-death contracts, there were still differences in status. If he couldn't match Gu Changfeng in the Xianxia Sect, then perhaps he could achieve a surprise victory at the White Dragon Gate!

But judging from Xi Wuyou's attitude, it's obvious that he doesn't buy it!

To be honest, although Xi Wuyou listened to Li Yu's advice, he still couldn't let go of the hatred in his heart. He didn't expect all the elders to surrender willingly, he just wanted to find two people to commemorate the souls of the White Dragon Gate!

Therefore, seeing that Hu Yishan was unwilling to surrender, he was not angry but happy! He thought to himself: Since that's the case, then I will use your head to commemorate the souls of those who died unjustly in the White Dragon Gate!

Hu Yishan saw Xi Wuyou approaching step by step with a sword in hand, and he shouted:

"I……"

Unfortunately, it was too late! A flash of cold light appeared! Hu Yishan's huge head had already rolled into the dust! But his eyes were wide open, filled with unwillingness, astonishment, and fear! He died with his eyes open!

It's a pity that Hu Yishan's performance didn't meet any audience that understood him, and in the end his cleverness backfired!

Of course, Xi Wuyou didn't fail to understand his performance. He just needed a sacrifice, so he had to make his fake performance come true.

Hu Yishan's bloody head was still rolling on the ground, frightening the monks from the aristocratic sects so much that they fell to their knees and shouted in a chaotic manner:

"We are willing to sign a life and death contract! We are willing to join the White Dragon Gate!"

Having the Xianxia Sect's elders sign a life-and-death contract was a way to facilitate control. After all, the two sides were mortal enemies. However, such a contract consumed their spiritual energy. One person couldn't sign unlimited contracts. Cultivators like Xi Wuyou and Han Xiuzhi could only sign contracts with ten people at most. Any more would damage their spiritual energy. They were already nearing their limits, so how could they possibly be willing to waste their spiritual energy on them?

Therefore, Xi Wuyou immediately said loudly:

"You are all senior masters, and your character is naturally trustworthy. As long as you are willing, our White Dragon Sect will welcome you with open arms. There is no need to sign any life and death contract! Of course, if you don't want to, don't worry! Your Majesty always keeps his word! He will naturally let you go back!"

Everyone was surprised by what they heard. They had originally thought their fate would be the same as those of the former Xianxia Sect elders, becoming slaves of the Xianxia Sect. But now it seemed that their worries were overblown. Not only would they not force them to join the White Dragon Sect, they seemed to be prepared to let them go home!

For them, although the sect was small and the family was weak, it was still their foundation! Naturally, they were unwilling to join the White Dragon Sect for nothing. Someone immediately stood up and said:

"In that case, I, Wang, will take my disciples and take my leave!"

Xi Wuyou turned his head to look at Li Yu. Seeing him nod slightly, he raised his hand to untie the man's acupuncture points and said loudly:

"Master Wang, please do as you please! Our Lord has issued an order that anyone who wishes to leave will not be stopped!"

The reason why Xi Wuyou dared to say this was naturally because Li Yu had conveyed the message to him.

Li Yu saw this gathering as a non-issue. With the ringleader eliminated and the Xianxia Sect's elders tamed, the others wouldn't cause any major trouble. He simply released as many as he could, sparing the demonic forces from watching over them.

When the cultivators from the sects and families saw that Sect Master Wang had led his disciples to evacuate safely, they immediately asked to leave.

Li Yu naturally wouldn't stop them. He simply ordered Hou Rujing and the others to unblock everyone's acupuncture points and let them leave on their own. Within a few minutes, the crowded entrance to the Vulture Cave Mansion was deserted, leaving only a handful of aristocratic families. Among them was Yin Kaishan, the patriarch of the Yin family!

The Yin family had suffered heavy losses in the Yunfu Mountains, leaving him alone. But he still wanted to secure protection for his family. While others were focused on their family's interests, he felt this might be their family's opportunity!
