The Blood Oath was a thod for ancient cultivators to pledge their loyalty to others.
Since ancient tis, no ancient cultivator who signed a Blood Oath has survived, mainly because once the oath was signed, if the master was displeased in any way, they could easily kill these servants. Additionally, after the construction of the Pan Gu secret realm, a massacre occurred, reducing the surviving ancient cultivators to less than a tenth of their original number.
"Are you satisfied now?" Xi He still knelt on the ground, a symbol of her status as a servant.
Ye Fan said, "Even so, I still can’t fully trust you. From now on, I will not refer to you as ’senior’ but will call you by your na, Xi He!"
Reluctance marked Xi He’s expression, but as she had no grounds to refute him, she could only remain kneeling, seemingly angry.
When the surrounding barrier was lifted, Lei Zu and the others finally understood that Xi He had beco Ye Fan’s servant to survive.
Chang Yi sneered, "Xi He, what right do you have to act arrogant before us now? Aren’t you now just Ye Fan’s maid? Truly, you bring sha upon us ancient cultivators..."
Lei Zu, frustrated, said, "Have you forgotten who helped you escape from that alternate dinsion? Not only did Ye Fan help you, but even Xi He did too—turns out you’re just such an ungrateful wretch?"
"What I do is none of your concern. You can’t even be a servant, you’re worse off than Xi He!" Chang Yi replied angrily, "You fell for a woman and spent thousands of years with her. Haha, you both are beyond reasoning to !"
Ye Fan turned to look at Xi He, who had already stood up and was now by his side.
At that mont, Ye Fan was about to return to Earth, but he didn’t want to take Xi He along.
"Co with to Tian City, and Sang Yuan will arrange tasks for you. From now on, you will completely obey Sang Yuan. Xi He, I hope you understand, you are no longer the proud Fire Sun God. You are now an ordinary human, and your task is to save lives and help humans safely pass through tribulations. If you cannot serve this purpose, I will kill you at any mont!" Ye Fan said.
Chang Yi said, "Human boy, do you want Xi He to serve you instead... ah!"
Before she could finish her sentence, Ye Fan used spiritual power to launch an attack, causing Chang Yi unbearable pain.
Lei Zu sneered, "Didn’t you look down on this human? You should know how terrifying his cultivation is now. If it weren’t for Pan Gu and Fu Xi, he could even rewrite the order of the ancient cultivation world. The good days for ancient cultivators are over..."

When Ye Fan brought Xi He to Sang Yuan, Xuan Nu was also present.
Upon seeing the red mark on Xi He’s forehead, Xuan Nu understood what had happened and said in disbelief, "Xi He, you actually signed a Blood Oath with Ye Fan?"
Xi He didn’t respond to anyone, her eyes even dim. Xuan Nu asked, "Ye Fan, did you forcibly control her spirit and make her sign the Blood Oath with you?"
"Senior, do you think I have that ability?" Ye Fan scrutinized Xuan Nu.
Xuan Nu felt endangered; she had previously suggested becoming Ye Fan’s servant but refused to sign a Blood Oath because she didn’t want to completely yield her life to Ye Fan. Now, even Xi He had submitted, making her feel threatened. If Ye Fan used force to make her sign a Blood Oath, he would truly have control over her life and death.
However, in truth, it would be easy for Ye Fan to kill her at this mont.
"Whether you have the ability is none of my concern, but I must remind you, if you forcibly make Xi He submit, you will face the consequences unless you can earn the sincere allegiance of an ancient cultivator..."
As she spoke, she noticed Xi He suddenly looked up at her, realizing she might have misunderstood sothing, that Xi He hadn’t lost her autonomy.
Xi He said, "Xuan Nu, didn’t you want to be Ye Fan’s servant? Now I’ve taken a step ahead of you, what about you?"
"What do you an?" Xuan Nu frowned, examining Xi He.
Xi He sneered, "When I accepted becoming a master’s servant and signing the Blood Oath, I set a condition: to let the master sign a Blood Oath with you too, making you a servant of the master. Then, I would have the master gift you to . Previously, I couldn’t have you, but once you sign a Blood Oath with the master, and he gifts you to , do you have the power to choose?"
Xuan Nu nervously looked at Ye Fan, "Ye Fan, is this what you promised her?"
Ye Fan glanced at Xi He, who had once again closed her eyes.
He couldn’t understand why Xi He would say such a thing, but after thinking for a while, he realized Xi He might be using this thod to dissuade Xuan Nu from signing a Blood Oath with him.
Ye Fan thought, "Xi He’s feelings for Xuan Nu are quite complex; she must have her reasons..."
Thinking of this, Ye Fan nodded and said, "Senior Xuan Nu, there are so things I hope you’ll consider carefully. If you agree to cooperate with , you must sign a Blood Oath, like Xi He. At that ti, I will be your master and I will temporarily gift you to Xi He since she is more useful to ... consider it carefully!"
Xuan Nu’s face showed anger, and she realized after much thought that, apart from signing a Blood Oath with Ye Fan, there was no other way to form a strategic alliance with him.
But now, upon deciding to sign the Blood Oath with Ye Fan, she realized her future would fall into Xi He’s hands, which she couldn’t accept.
"What, unwilling?" Ye Fan wore a smiling face, "If senior is unwilling, I won’t force you, and senior should no longer ntion wanting my help... Please."
"What do you an? I can’t even stay in the secret realm?" Xuan Nu angrily questioned.
Ye Fan, with a confident smile, said, "The secret realm is a cultivator’s domain, created by ancient powerhouses, but it’s no longer your sanctuary. If senior cos again, I’ll use my way to show you what pain is..."
By saying so, Ye Fan implied he was ready to use spiritual power to attack Xuan Nu at any ti.
Xuan Nu, closing her eyes, felt overwhelming humiliation and rage.
Finally, she bit her lip and said, "Ye Fan, you can’t stop , leaving the secret realm now would an abandoning all my previous efforts. I’ve already died once, and from now on, I need not strive for my life anymore. You’ve won, I am willing to sign a Blood Oath with you!"
"Really?" As Ye Fan scrutinized Xuan Nu, Xi He also opened her eyes to look at her.
Xi He, observing Xuan Nu’s gaze, seed sowhat disappointed. She sighed but didn’t voice any objections.
