If it weren’t for me, you’d already be snake food, wouldn’t you?\" Gongyang Jin said with a light smile, moving the Destruction Giant Blade away from Han Zhan’s neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Casually stabbing it into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword’s broad blade, as tall as an adult, gleamed with a fierce cold light, reflecting Han Zhan’s slightly pale face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Zhan still had strategies left unused, but seeing as Gongyang Jin was Tier Eight, whatever she said was right, Han Zhan didn’t plan to argue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So handsome, the more I look, the more handsome he gets.\" Gongyang Jin reached out, caressing Han Zhan’s face, then pinched it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The piece you just played, what’s it called?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tune? So, Gongyang Jin was drawn here by my performance of Fu Xi’s Zither Tune?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had sensed the commotion here long ago, but chose to watch idly by instead of intervening, until she saw me play Fu Xi’s Zither Tune, then she acted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Zhan quickly surmised most of Gongyang Jin’s intentions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This behavior indeed matches the rumored style of the City of Extreme Evil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most people there are exiles, rejected by nations, thus sent to a large concentration camp, known as the Lower City District.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mix of chaos, rumored even some Insect Race are among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their \"evil\" is acting according to their whims, disregarding others’ lives or deaths, achieving whatever they desire by any means.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being exiles, they lack shared human destiny and honor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fighting the Insect Race is not their duty; their only belief is living for themselves!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially hearing about the City of Extreme Evil, Han Zhan didn’t particularly reject these people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some display evil openly, some hide it inside, it’s merely a difference like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not talking? It’s fine. I came to Great Xia only to have a bout with Wei Qing, and stumbled upon you as an unexpected surprise.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That tune can enhance the physique, I could feel my cells being amplified, even feeling capable of punching out the Snake Emperor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m going to take you back, and make you my exclusive battle assistant!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was apparent malice in Gongyang Jin’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Han Zhan dared resist, or dared any action of resistance, the Destruction Giant Blade beside her would mercilessly slash down!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Zhan returned to his senses, catching a familiar name in Gongyang Jin’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You came looking for the leader of our First War Zone, Marshal Wei?\" Han Zhan feigned an incredulous expression, \"Marshal Wei is a Tier Eight Ultimate, how do you intend to challenge him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongyang Jin might not react much to other topics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But her contracted spirit trait is the \"Valkyrie,\" obviously a combative personality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, hearing Han Zhan’s words and seeing his expression, Gongyang Jin’s smile faded a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What, can’t you tell? You’re a mere Tier Three Spirit Contract Master, can you discern my realm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m Tier Eight like Wei Qing, why couldn’t I challenge him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And your Spirit Contract Master? You alone cannot contend against Marshal Wei!\" Han Zhan argued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He fully acted as a Combat Spirit Contract Master from the First War Zone, with absolute worship of Wei Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongyang Jin snorted coldly, unexpectedly not refuting Han Zhan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t have a Spirit Contract Master, nor one worthy of a contract with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who says a contracted spirit can’t train independently and reach the Ultimate?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No Spirit Contract Master? Training independently! Hearing this, Han Zhan couldn’t help but regard Gongyang Jin a bit higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He initially thought Gongyang Jin’s Spirit Contract Master was hidden or severely injured in a battle with Wei Qing, hence not showing up immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never expected Gongyang Jin didn’t have a Spirit Contract Master, she, as a contracted spirit, trained solo to Tier Eight!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A ruthless individual!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So... did you fight Marshal Wei...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Zhan adjusted his facial expression appropriately, proving to be shocked upon hearing Gongyang Jin was Tier Eight and without a Spirit Contract Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongyang Jin was pleased with Han Zhan’s current \"appearance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a Valkyrie, even in the City of Extreme Evil, enjoying others’ shocked, admiring looks was part of the cultivation meaning!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I fought with Wei Qing, two-on-one, I wasn’t their match.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongyang Jin responded frankly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon Gongyang Jin’s response, Han Zhan’s view of her shifted considerably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why am I telling you all this?\" Gongyang Jin suddenly realized, shaking her head, pulling Han Zhan along without a word, retrieved her Destruction Giant Blade, and was about to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where are you taking me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where? Of course, to the City of Extreme Evil, Exile Land, you’re now my exclusive battle assistant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No way!\" Han Zhan stated firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongyang Jin’s familiar smile reappeared. \"Men shouldn’t say no.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongyang Jin’s gaze cut across Han Zhan, making him feel as if his whole body was being scraped by sharp blades, inducing a piercing pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Zhan clenched his teeth, insisting, \"I am a Combat Spirit Contract Master of the First War Zone; Great Xia’s current battle with the Yexieqi Snake Race is at a crucial point. If I leave the battlefield now, I’ll be deemed a traitor and deserter, unacceptable to Great Xia!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, but what does that have to do with me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongyang Jin said indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was easier to talk to than the outright murderous, but still part of the City of Extreme Evil, indifferent to Han Zhan’s claims.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Han Zhan shook his head, saying, \"No, it does matter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am a Great Xia person, a Combat Spirit Contract Master. My companion just died at the hands of the Yexieqi Snake Race, died on the battlefield.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I become a deserter now, I would choose suicide to demonstrate my loyalty to Great Xia and gratitude to the academy’s training!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Han Zhan said this, his face was sincere and serious, unlike pretense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he died, naturally there’d be no talk of being a battle assistant, and what Gongyang Jin could bring back to the City of Extreme Evil would be merely a corpse!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Han Zhan’s words, Gongyang Jin stopped smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at Han Zhan in surprise, not expecting a casually captured Great Xia Spirit Contract Master to have such awareness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hesitated for a moment and asked, \"Then how would you willingly go with me to the City of Extreme Evil?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Took the bait!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Understanding his \"weight\" in Gongyang Jin’s mind, Han Zhan no longer hesitated, stating his condition:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want you to join me in a complete sweep of the Yexieqi Snake Race newly hatched on the battlefield!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is my condition!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1149,"2026-06-10T05:31:12.900Z",1,"novelbin.me","fe4ce3aa0b6c8da2caf2e16f1f602aceabd9aaba6a1958f7715f6bdade03a719","i-contracted-all-ancient-divine-artifacts-chapter-49","i-contracted-all-ancient-divine-artifacts-chapter-47",617,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-contracted-all-ancient-divine-artifacts-cover.jpg"]
