Chapter 1319: The Second-to-Last Floor

Yan Lu walked step by step toward Ning Chen, then knelt on one knee before him, looking up at the light above like a devout believer.

Yan Lu and Ning Chen locked eyes; Yan Lu's gaze was filled with fire, a fire full of life and the future.

"I, Yan Lu, swear in the name of the Ancient Divine Dragon Lord Yan Long: from this moment on, I sign a life-and-death contract with Ning Chen. If he lives, I live; if he dies, I die."

The moment the words fell, the contract took effect; Ning Chen could clearly feel something added within his body, a sensation in his soul.

At the same time, a contract mark appeared on both their wrists, but it flashed once and then vanished into invisibility.

Yan Lu rose from the ground, looked at Ning Chen, and said, "From now on, you are my master. How would you like me to address you?"

Ning Chen looked at Yan Lu and said calmly, "Ning Chen."

Yan Lu chuckled lightly, then spoke: "Ning Chen."

This address was clearly not spoken for the first time from his lips, yet Ning Chen understood that something had changed.

Miss Hongxiu, standing aside, found it hard to describe her current feelings.

The former Lord of Heaven and Earth, the proud Lord Yan Long, had now entered into a contract with a human.

Dragons' lives are endless, yet humans have an end to their lives.

Miss Hongxiu had long understood that Yan Lu did not wish to remain here any longer; he wanted to depart along with a human's lifespan.

Imprisonment for millions of years had already ravaged him beyond recognition; even though it did not show in him now, he was nearly no longer himself. He sought release.

Ning Chen glanced at Yan Lu, then turned and headed for the teleportation array; their target was not here.

"Where are you going? I can send you there directly." Yan Lu stopped Ning Chen's movement and looked at him, speaking.

"Do you know on which floor the Demon King is?" Ning Chen looked at Yan Lu and asked.
