Originally, when Su Chen ca knocking, Barney was not very willing to make a move.
But later on, he found out that Su Chen was alone and was a Saint Realm Martial Artist.
Only then did he co up with the idea of hunting Su Chen.
But who would have thought that Su Chen not only didn't beco his prey but turned into a ferocious prehistoric beast!
Not only was his old capital lost, but he also got himself trapped.
He even had to self-recomnd himself as a servant to Su Chen, looking as if Su Chen really needed him.
I am really powerful!
...
Su Chen suddenly spoke: "Do you know the Illita Family?"
"Illita Family?" Barney was visibly stunned and instinctively repeated those five words.
"What, you don't know them?" Su Chen frowned.
"How could I not know?! Even if they turned to ashes, I'd recognize them!" Barney's eyes revealed a look of hatred.
The Illita Family and the Andrew Family have a vendetta!
After Barney succeeded in his puppetry technique, he also heard about the Andrew family's annihilation.
He vaguely grasped a clue that the downfall of the Andrew Family seed related to the thriving Illita Family!
Illita Family is renowned for producing witches and is quite a famous family in the Witch World.
The Illita Family's fa in producing witches doesn't an they only have witches, but historically, their most famous individuals have been female wizards.
The Andrew Family was annihilated because they possessed sothing coveted by others.
This thing had a special allure for the Illita Family.
Although it's not 100% certain that the Illita Family was the one who targeted the Andrew Family.
From so traces over recent years, so threads can still be seen.
The developnt of the Illita Family has beco more rapid over the past decade or so; this isn't achievable without so special opportunities.
However, the Illita Family is now in the lilight, strong in power, and it's clearly challenging and unrealistic for Barney to confront them alone.
Thus, he has been lying low, gathering energy.
But who knew he'd accidentally run into an iron plate?
Looking at Su Chen, Barney was practically on the verge of tears.
Su Chen's strength was overwhelming; even with four Holy Realm Martial Artists, one of whom was a High Rank Sword Dao Martial Artist, plus a wizard, they couldn't take him down.
Instead, they were taken down in one fell swoop by Su Chen, who now was sharpening his blade, ready to claim Barney's life as well.
After Barney told Su Chen the information he knew about the Illita Family, Su Chen said nothing for a long ti, making Barney endlessly uneasy.
anwhile, Barney wasn't just sitting around waiting; he was nervously recovering his magic power, ready to flee at any mont.
"Alright, I accept your pledge, but with what will you convince that you genuinely want to be my subordinate and not feign allegiance?"
Su Chen temporarily needed a guide, and Barney was clearly suitable. He wasn't familiar with the wizard's ways.
If he hadn't just drained Barney's magic power, Barney might have already used Shadow Magic to escape.
This was sothing Su Chen found quite helpless.
"In witchcraft, there are many contract magics. I can sign a loyalty contract with you," Barney said.
"Then tell what the differences are between these contracts," Su Chen said, intrigued.
He himself inherited the Shikigami of Dongyin's Onmyoji, so he had so interest in signing contracts.
Just like the Shikigami contract he signed with Shuiyue Jingxiang, which was relatively equal.
He summoned Shuiyue Jingxiang to the human world to assist him in battle while 'paying' her with souls as compensation.
The stronger the Shikigami, the more souls needed when summoned.
Moreover, they can absorb the free 'souls' in the human world themselves.
Actually, most Shikigami are relatively free, and powerful Shikigami can even refuse the summoner's call.
But the Shikigami with such power is at least at the level of a 'Divine General'.
Generally, however, it's unlikely for Shikigami to refuse summoning.
The Shikigami Space is extrely dangerous, and being able to enter the human world, collect 'souls' for cultivation, or as currency, most Shikigami are delighted by the opportunity.
To get back on track, speaking about contracts, there are many types, especially in loyalty contracts, there are those of equality between the loyalist and the one being loyal to, which, although holds the essence of master-servant, doesn't bind the loyalist much.
If Su Chen and Barney signed this type of contract,
for example, if Su Chen died, it would have no effect on Barney. Moreover, if Barney didn't obey, Su Chen couldn't even punish him through the contract.
And then there are unequal contracts, which co in two forms: master strong, servant weak, and servant strong, master weak.
If the forr, the servant's life would be completely controlled by the master.
This ans that if they signed such a contract, Barney would be at Su Chen's rcy in the future.
But if it's the other way around, it's more like the master signing to acquire the servant's powerful strength.
Every ti the servant's power is used, a lot has to be sacrificed.
For instance, if a person signs a contract with a demon,
that person needs to sacrifice life, soul, etc., to satisfy the demon's appetite; otherwise, the demon wouldn't help, and might even backfire on the master.
Although Su Chen didn't know much about contracts, he wasn't easily fooled by Barney.
After Barney gave Su Chen a brief explanation of contracts, Su Chen directly summoned Shuiyue Jingxiang.
The mont the Centaur-state Shuiyue Jingxiang Shikigami appeared, Barney was dumbfounded.
Damn it… how many unknown thods does this Eastern man still hide?
But soon Barney regretted it; after Shuiyue Jingxiang explained the different types of contracts,
Barney's face turned grey. This… damn it…
"Hmph, at a ti like this, you're still playing tricks on ?" Su Chen snorted coldly, without hesitation delivering a kick to Barney.
This kick caused the dark long robe covering Barney to fall partially, revealing his face.
A pale yet not ugly young man appeared, looking sowhat delicate, but completely out of sync with the previously low and sinister voice.
"Please forgive , spare my life. I… I am willing to be a slave for eternity, but I have a request, could you…"
"You have no right to bargain with ," Su Chen said calmly.
