16: LING XUE OVERLORD.
Arrgh!!!
A groan resounded in the dark cave like structure, Wuji Wushuang held his head that was spinning as he sat upright, after a few breaths, his head stopped spinning and he finally had the opportunity to look at his surroundings. While he was unconscious, he had no perception of time meaning he didn't know how long he was out for.
Looking around, the cave was dark and the only source for light was a golden glowing palace, the cave, the cave didn't have a sign of anyone being there in a long time, there were only bones on the ground. The palace had a huge majestic gate and the gates were tightly shut not even budging in the slightest. The second weird thing was a skeleton that wore white robes. The weird thing wasn't that the skeleton sat crosses legged as if it was meditating nor was it that the skeleton wore robes, the strange thing was that the skeleton was transparent and even the sparkling tricoloured marrow that flowed in other bones could be seen circulating in the bones.
From the looks of things, the skeleton was more than a thousand years old, but it was still intact, one had to know that even the skeletons of palace expansion level power houses would rot after a few hundred years, but the skeleton in front of him was transparent and even the marrow was still circulating.
" This must be the skeleton of the legendary immortal" Wuji Wushuang said to himself and was about to start looking for a way out, but a reflection of light caught his eyes, to be exact it was the reflection of golden light that came from a grey coloured storage ring on the skeletons index finger, it was releasing spatial ripples constantly which proved it to be a very good spatial treasure. When the ring was spotted by Wuji Wushuang, his first reaction like any sensible person was to take the ring, no one knew what type of earth shaking treasure was in the storage ring of an immortal.
"Well put the ring away first and worry about the rest later " Wuji Wushuang said to himself as he walked up to the skeleton. After observing the skeleton for a while he stretched out his hand and grabbed the ring on the skeleton's middle finger before pulling it off.
Ka ka ka ka!
A sound like fried beans came from the skeleton in front of Wuji Wushuang. The skeleton actually started to move, and the pair of hollow eye sockets stared at Wuji Wushuang. Although there were no pupils, when the dark eye sockets stared at Wuji Wushuang he felt like he was been targeted by a god and didn't even have the chance to speak, a terrifying aura drowned Wuji Wushuang like a thousand seas, it felt like it wasn't a skeleton in front of him but a collosal being that could crush a thousand of him to death with just a thought.
"So someone managed to survive the sinkhole and it's a thieving Brat you see dead man and first thought was steal his storage ring. " The Skeleton actually spat out words, but this wasn't the only weird thing that had happened today so Wuji Wushuang quickly calmed down, he opened his mouth wanting to refute the skeleton's words but he couldn't think of a way to refute them, he clearly did everything the skeleton had said and he disdained to lie so he just bowed lightly at the skeleton.
"Greetings senior, this junior was wrong, please don't take this junior's mistakes to heart" Wuji Wushuang said sincerely.
"Hummph" The skeleton snorted coldly and a surging majestic aura forced Wuji Wushuang to his two knees and forced him to lower his head.
"You dare to talk to me while standing, you really do think put me in your eyes do you??? "The skeleton said coldly and the majestic aura increased trying to force Wuji Wushuang to kowtow, but Wuji Wushuang resisted, kowtowing to an unknown skeleton, he would never do it. Through gritted teeth, Wuji Wushuang forcefully raised his head and looked at the skeleton a wave of anger surged all over his body.
"Isn't it just a storage ring? You are dead but still want a storage ring, it can be seen how greedy you were before you died. Even if you were powerful before you died, then so what, do you think I'm afraid of you! " Wuji Wushuang roared and a flash of golden light erupted from between his brows and the aura that was supressing him dissapeared without a trace. After that, Wuji Wushuang pulled out his sword and charges towards the skeleton with a dash and without fear. Seeing this, the skeleton's bone head nodded twice in a row, probably in satisfaction.
"Enough! " The skeleton said and Wuji Wushuang's charging posture stopped instantly freezing five feet in front of the skeleton.
"Good temperament, kid I want to request something from you" The skeleton said plainly and Wuji Wushuang regained his freedom. After gaining his freedom, Wuji Wushuang didn't continue to charge forward but put his sword back into his storage ring. From the fact that the skeleton could stop him halfway without the ability to move showed that he could easily kill him, this causes Wuji Wushuang to sigh at the wonders of being an immortal.
"How can I complete something that even senior can't do by himself? " Wuji Wushuang didn't agree at once, because completing a task for an immortal was not necessarily a good thing.
"Of course you can't do it now, but you can do it within a hundred and fifty years " The skeleton said.
"And what might the task be? " Wuji Wushuang asked
"Help me take revenge " The skeleton said, when the words revenge came out Wuji Wushuang could feel the anger and sorrow in the skeleton's tone.
"Revenge? " Wuji Wushuang asked.
"Yes revenge on my murderer Lu Huo Qi " The skeleton said.
"Forgive me senior, may I know the cultivation of the person? " Wuji Wushuang asked out of curiosity thinking of who can kill an expert of that level.
"He was at the Mid third stage immortal overlord realm a thousand years ago, as for now I don't know " The skeleton said.
"Fuck your ancestors, asking me to kill an immortal in a hundred and fifty years, isn't that asking me to go and die... " Wuji Wushuang cursed in his mind but didn't dare to say it out loud.
"I'm sorry senior, but I don't think I will be able to do that within one hundred and fifty years" Wuji Wushuang said tacitly refusing.
"Okay five hundred years, you have to complete the task between five hundred years is that okay with you? " The skeleton asked.
"Forgive me senior, but what do I stand to gain in all of this? " Wuji Wushuang asked
"I will give you some treasures to protect yourself until you get to the Immortal realm, I will tell you how to leave here and I will also promise to help you three times" The skeleton said.
...Tell me how to leave here? Do you think I'm a kid can't I just leave the way I came.... Wuji Wushuang sneered.
As if reading Wuji Wushuang's mind, the skeleton poured a bucket of cold water on Wuji Wushuang's mind.
"Do you think it's so easy to leave from here? " The skeleton sneered
"Let me tell you, the only way out of here lies behind those gates and I know how to open them so your choice you can choose to stay here or you can swear to complete my task within five hundred years and leave " The skeleton said in a playful tone.
"Okay, I can swear to complete your task within five hundred years, but you will assist me five times, give me the treasures and tell me how to get the hell out of here" Wuji Wushuang said to the skeleton. The skeleton then took out a parchment and drew an agreement.
"This is the soul locking contract, if you fail to complete the task within five hundred years, your soul will dissipate, as for the treasures I Ling Xue Overlord will surely keep my words" The skeleton said and poured a little bit of Qi into the parchment and his soul image appeared on the parchment, it was a handsome middle aged man. Wuji Wushuang quickly grabbed the parchment and after reading the contents, Wuji Wushuang smiled and signed the contract with his Qi, a strange power appeared in his soul.
The reason he signed the contract was because he wasn't sure he would still be alive after five hundred years, even palace" Expansion can only live for three hundred years. So he felt he could take benefits now and deal with the rest in the future and besides that he couldn't leave the weird sinkhole before signing the contract. But little did he know that the oath would get him into a web of plots that involved several immortal sects.
"Okay, let's take out the treasures " The skeleton said and the contract was kept by Wuji Wushuang into his storage ring.
