Chapter 2280

Indenture Contract

* Hong! *

Cao Zhiyuan naturally wouldn't sit still and wait for death. With a wave of her jade-like hand, blue energy condensed into a blue luan and blasted away the two guards who were about to take her down.

"Hmph!"

Cao Xuanbing, who was walking at the head of the group, coldly snorted as he stretched out his right hand towards Cao Zhiyuan.

The moment the Blue Luan in front of Cao Zhiyuan came into contact with Cao Xuanbing's hand, it immediately dissipated into countless blue lights. Cao Zhiyuan even spat out a mouthful of blood. Her expression was dim, and she looked dispirited.

"Take her away and imprison her in the Black Water Prison!"

Cao Xuanbing's eyes were cold as he looked at the guards who had just been blasted away by Cao Zhiyuan.

The two guards were submissive. They hurriedly nodded their heads and said yes. Then, they grabbed the weak and heavily injured Cao Zhiyuan and took her away.

The hall was as silent as cicadas in winter. No one came out to speak. It was terrifyingly quiet.

"Cao Feng and his daughter Cao Zhiyuan are suspected of colluding with the Shogunate, so this Patriarch will imprison them both in the Black Water Prison. I believe no one has any objections, right?" Cao Xuanbing looked around and said coldly.

"Patriarch's approach is correct. This kind of traitor must not be tolerated and should be severely punished."

"Yes, yes, Cao Feng's character is terrible. I think the Black Water Prison's punishment for him is too light!"

"…"

There was a burst of agreement in the hall. Cao Xuanbing sat at the head of the table, his eyes narrowed as the corners of his mouth curled into a smile.

…

Outside the Cao Family's gate, Zhuowen stood in front of it and looked at the magnificent mansion in front of him, clicking his tongue in amazement.

The Cao Family's mansion could definitely be regarded as magnificent, not the slightest bit inferior to the Great Brahma Star Field's Sects like the Dark Fantasy Sect and High Heaven Sect.

When Zhuowen intended to use his Divine Sense to explore the mansion, he found that his Divine Sense was blocked.

Fortunately, Zhuowen's Divine Sense was powerful enough to not disturb the Cao Family's barrier.

Of course, with Zhuowen's current powerful Divine Sense, he could completely break the Cao Family's barrier by force, but Zhuowen did not come here to cause trouble. At least, he had to do a good job on the surface.

"Who are you?"

Outside the door, the two guards looked at Zhuo Wen walking over with fear. Their expressions were reverent. They weren't hotheads, so they could naturally feel the aura on Zhuo Wen's body. They knew that this white clothed youth before them was absolutely not an ordinary person.

"I am Miss Cao Zhiyuan's friend. Today, she has invited me to enter the Cao Clan. Could I trouble you to inform her?" Zhuowen said casually.

When the two guards heard this, a strange look appeared in their eyes, but they quickly regained their composure.

"Please wait a moment, I will inform the Patriarch immediately!"

One of the guards politely said before entering the mansion.

Zhuowen's eyes flashed. The strange look in the eyes of the two guards did not escape Zhuowen's eyes, but Zhuowen did not care.

After all, Cao Zhiyuan was a direct descendant of the Cao Family, and her status in the Cao Family was not low. Zhuowen knew that nothing would happen to Cao Zhiyuan in a short period of time.

It was just that Zhuowen despised the Cao Family's actions. From Xiong Yuan's actions, it could be seen that the Patriarch of the Cao Family was not a good person.

Not long after, the guard came out. Behind the guard was a middle-aged man with a solemn face.

"Are you Zhiyuan's friend?"

The middle-aged man glanced at Zhuowen and slowly asked.

Zhuowen frowned. He did not like the middle-aged man's attitude. It was as if someone owed him money.

"Yes, where is Zhiyuan?

Why didn't she come out? "Zhuowen asked indifferently.

The middle-aged man glanced at Zhuo Wen and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that Zhiyuan would get to know a young and promising friend like you outside. Zhiyuan is really lucky!

Zhiyuan has some matters to attend to right now, so it's not convenient for her to come out. Come in with me, I'll bring you to see her. "

"Oh right, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Zhiyuan's third uncle, Cao Yuanzhi. I wonder how you and Zhiyuan met?

What sect are you from? "

The middle aged man started introducing himself as he led the way. Zhuo Wen nodded and said, "I'm Zhuo Wen, and I got to know Miss Zhiyuan by accident on the way. As for me, I'm only an independent cultivator, and I don't belong to any sect."

When Cao Yuanzhi heard that Zhuowen was just a rogue cultivator with no sect, his eyes narrowed slightly as he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.

When Cao Yuanzhi saw that this young man's cultivation had reached the sixth step of the Void Sky Realm, he thought that this young man was a disciple of some powerful force. Now that he knew that this young man was just a rogue cultivator, Cao Yuanzhi naturally felt a lot more at ease.

Cao Yuanzhi led Zhuowen into a rather grand pavilion. He pointed at the empty hall and said: "Brother Zhuo, Brother Zhuo, sit in the hall for a while. I'll help you call Zhiyuan."

Zhuowen sneered in his heart. He didn't say anything, but nodded and entered the pavilion.

Cao Yuanzhi looked at Zhuowen's back as a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Then, he left the place.

Sitting in a rather dark and gloomy hall, Zhuo Wen took out nine beast bone array discs from his Spirit Ring. Soon after, he formed a seal with both hands. Immediately, the nine beast bone array discs emitted a dark black light from their surface, before they entered the hall in nine different directions.

After doing all this, Zhuowen leisurely sat on his seat, as if he was really waiting for Cao Zhiyuan.

An hour later, Cao Yuanzhi came to the pavilion once again. Cao Zhiyuan brought a middle-aged man with her.

This middle-aged man looked quite similar to Cao Yuanzhi. He was even older than Cao Yuanzhi. Whether it was his temperament or strength, he was much stronger than Cao Yuanzhi.

Cao Yuanzhi followed beside this middle-aged man with a respectful and reverent expression. Obviously, this middle-aged man's status in the Cao Family was not low.

"Little brother, I'm the patriarch of the Cao Family, Cao Xuanbing. I heard that you're Zhiyuan's friend?"

The middle-aged man walked in front of Cao Yuanzhi. As soon as he entered the pavilion, he laughed out loud. His voice contained a warm tone.

Zhuowen smiled slightly and said: "So it's the patriarch of the Cao Family. I am indeed Miss Zhiyuan's friend. Just now, this person said that he was going to look for Miss Zhiyuan. Why didn't Miss Zhiyuan come, and instead blew the patriarch of the Cao Family here?"

Cao Xuanbing didn't care about Zhuowen's attitude. Instead, he said with a pleasant expression: "It's like this. Zhiyuan's father is heavily injured. She's worried about her father, so she went to her father's place first. So, she's unable to come see you, Brother Zhuo."

Speaking up to here, Cao Xuanbing took out a yellowed piece of paper from his bosom and passed it to Zhuowen: "Brother Zhuo, I heard from Zhiyuan that you're a loose cultivator. You were able to cultivate to the Sixth Step Void Stage with your identity as a loose cultivator. It can be seen that your natural talent is extraordinary. If you're able to join a great power, then your accomplishments will definitely reach a higher level."

Zhuowen glanced at the piece of paper in Cao Xuanbing's hand and sneered in his heart. This piece of paper was a contract. Zhuowen roughly scanned it with his Divine Sense and roughly understood the contents.

The general content of this contract was for Zhuowen to join the Cao Family. The Cao Family would focus on nurturing him, and in return, Zhuowen had to unconditionally obey the Cao Family's arrangements and follow their orders.
