Suddenly, a thunderous boom echoed through the chamber as the second seal on the Nine Heavenly Lightning Sword was unlocked. Lin Feng felt a surge of power coursing through his body as he looked at the sword in amazement.
As he held the sword aloft, he could see that the blade was now crackling with sacred lightning that was a brilliant white color. This lightning was known as the Sacred Lightning, and it was said to be the bane of all demons and devils.
The Sacred Lightning was pure and incorruptible, able to purify any darkness that it came into contact with. It was a divine force that could only be wielded by those with pure hearts and souls.
Lin Feng stood still as lightning essence flooded his body, pulsing through his veins and sparking in his mind. He was completely consumed by the power, unable to hear Jin Meixiang.
The lightning essence seemed to flow endlessly into him, filling him to the brim and beyond. His muscles twitched with the intensity of it, and he could feel his body growing stronger and more attuned to the element with each passing moment.
Jin Meixiang saw the sight of Lin Feng unlocking his sword's second seal and understood that this was an extraordinary young man.
She decided it would be best to form a good connection with him as he might become a mighty warrior in the near future.
However, at the same time, just as this colossal commotion occurred, the abode began to collapse.
Jin Meixiang noticed that Lin Feng wasn't responding and understood that he was probably trying to control that massive lightning energy. She grabbed his body and made a run for it.
Due to some luck, they managed to escape the collapsing abode.
Lin Feng regained consciousness a few hours later. He noticed Jin Meixiang was no longer with him. She seemed to have left a command seal that stated Jin.
Lin Feng didn't understand what this command seal signified as he had never left the Zhenguan Region.
However, he had a feeling that this woman belonged to a clan from outside the Zhenguan Region.
'Can I leave this region if I show this seal to those guards? Can I find her using this seal?' Lin Feng wondered.
However, he stopped thinking in this direction and realized that the lightning attribute essence within his dantian still hadn't been completely absorbed.
'I should spend a few days to absorb this essence. It should allow me to reach the Origin Realm and beyond. I can easily treat Huian's poison and even save Su Xian from that despicable bastard Wang Jian,' Lin Feng thought darkly.
~~
Poor Lin Feng had no idea that Wang Jian had already taken Su Xian's purity. In fact, their sexual activities had become a daily chore for them.
Su Xian eagerly strips once Wang Jian enters her room.
She won't be the only one, though. Kang Huian was going to join her soon.
After returning to Wang Jian's mansion, Kang Huian met with him shortly after. As he laid eyes on the woman, a mischievous grin crept onto his face.
"I knew you would return soon," Wang Jian remarked.
Upon meeting with Wang Jian, Kang Huian promptly knelt before him, her voice filled with desperation, "I plead with you, treat my father and my clan members. Only you can help me."
Wang Jian's eyes flickered with a cold gleam as he responded with a mocking tone, "Perhaps I may consider your request, but it depends on what you can offer me in return. Unfortunately, from what I can see, you have little to offer at this point."
Kang Huian remained undaunted and made a solemn promise, "I will do whatever it takes to save them. I will not reject any of your orders, no matter how despicable they may be."
Wang Jian scoffed at her words and remarked, "Your offer may save your father's life, but it will not extend to the rest of your clan."
Kang Huian was taken aback by his words and stammered, "What do you mean?"
Wang Jian's face twisted into a cruel sneer as he spoke, "If you want me to save your entire clan, then they must all submit to me. Each of them must sign a lifetime slave contract, which will bind them to eternal servitude. Now, it's up to you to make a choice."
Kang Huian was taken aback by Wang Jian's audacious demand, and she clenched her fists in anger. Time was running out, and she needed to make a decision quickly since her clan members were on the brink of death due to the deadly poison.
Wang Jian had a cunning smile on his face, as he had already anticipated Kang Huian's decision. He had spent enough time with her to understand her personality, and it was evident that she could not develop clever solutions in a crisis.
Kang Huian was quick-tempered and acted on impulse rather than reason, making her easily manipulated.
"…Y-you are taking advantage of our predicament!" She exclaimed.
Wang Jian rolled his eyes in disdain, "I would be a fool not to take advantage of this opportunity."
'My father would rather die than sign a lifetime slave contract. But fortunately, I can save him…As for others, it would depend on them,' She thought.
With a determined expression, Kang Huian spoke, "…I urge you to come with me and save them. I am willing to accept that lifetime slave contract."
"Wonderful," Wang Jian responded with a crafty look.
Wang Jian smirked, his eyes glinting with amusement. "Do not worry, my dear. We shall pass the time with some refreshing tea while my trusted subordinates bring the lifetime slave contracts. I foresaw such a predicament and commissioned a large order with the blood contract master, ensuring that we shall have an ample supply."
Kang Huian's expression turned anxious, and she asked, "How long must we wait?"
