"The problem is not if he is too powerful. He could simply get us all suppressed with his will. No matter how tough we are, he could do anything he wants to us."
Yun Che had finally made them feel a bit better, but what Yun Cheng had said next discouraged them immediately. The air went cold again. What made them feel worse was that Yun Cheng was right about that. No matter how hard they practiced, whether they were at phase 10 or the Ascension Stage, that man could easily defeat them because he was the owner of Earth.
"Che, why are you not compelled? What's the reason?"
Jiang Shang had seldom joined such discussions, but he was looking Yun Che in his eyes and asking right now. Others couldn't help doing the same when they heard this. Indeed, Yun Che didn't seem to be influenced. Was it because he was the owner of this space?
"Heiyu, enjoyed your time acting dead? Now it's showtime, noble beast. Get your ass out of here."
Under their gazes, Yun Che had the same question in mind. But Heiyu was the only one here who could offer an answer.
"Screw you, man. You won't remember me until this time."
Even though Heiyu roared back, he twerked his way to them unwillingly. Yun Che simply took him on the desk with the airpower directly, "Oh, come on, don't be such a baby. Aren't you a noble beast?"
"Oh, will you stop your bullshit?"
Heiyu knew that Yun Che only said that to mock him, so he struggled to fight against the hand covering his head, played fiercely for a while, and then explained unhappily, "Of course he couldn't suppress you. You are not a man of the outside world to be exact. Regardless of your capacity, you are equal to him in terms of identity. For Xing Feng and others, you may have two choices to get rid of his control. First, once you are at the peak of your Ascension Stage, you may tear the space wall and leave there to get to a higher space. If so, you are out of control and free to do anything you like. It is, however, unrealistic to you guys though. If you are all up to leave here, what's the point of taking so much trouble here? As for your second choice, well, you can simply become one in this space, like Master, and then you are not one of the outsiders anymore."
The audience was still waiting for Heiyu to finish the story, but he stopped at this time and didn't seem to continue. Everyone was confused, acting like "Oh, come on, I've already taken off my pants, but that's what you want me to see?". If possible, they were eager to beat Heiyu badly jointly.
"So, how to become one of those in this space? Talk to us!"
Yun Che was speechless as well.
"No rush, okay? I'm trying to recall what the method is. I'm too aged to remember everything clearly and have almost forgotten anything I have in mind. It takes time, okay?"
Fine, he was playing fiercer than Yun Che right now.
Everyone present, including Chenchen, could tell that he was playing tricks. But Heiyu still acted as if he had senile dementia.
"Would you like me to do you a favor? You know, I'll be glad to!"
Wearing a weird smile, Yun Che had his fingers full of powers. His threatening words worked so well that Heiyu couldn't help trembling. He waved his legs and said, "Don't bother. Actually, the answer has come to my mind right now. Master, that should have saved you some trouble."
"Three seconds, or I'll…"
"Fine, I'll talk, okay? Can you at least not be so scary?"
Before Yun Che finished, Heiyu stepped backward in fear and didn't feel relieved until he saw that Yun Che looked better. He sat like a human and took out an energy bar from the space, eating while explaining, "To become one in this space, you have to blood-bond yourselves to my master, just like the way I did with him. Well, I have to warn you that this is dangerous, so think it over. This is a kind of master-servant bond, which means if any of you dies, Master won't be affected; but if he dies, you all die. On the other hand, you may get benefits from the bond as well. See, you all could share your lives. If all went well, you can live as long as Master lives."
Blood-bond could only be made on the basis of mutual wills. In principle, human beings shared no difference with beasts at this point.
"Let's do it."
Xing Feng made up his mind without hesitation. For him, the cons of this bond didn't even exist. It might make him a coward and not a manly guy in others' eyes. But if Yun Che died, it would be pointless for him to live in this world. He would prefer to go with him.
"So, we were born on different days, but we may die on the same day, huh?"
Tan Weiye joked, looking at Mo Wenyang. The latter nodded, "Sounds good. If we die someday because of Yun Che, at least we will be together. And who knows? We may occupy the hell and take charge of that place!"
"I like that. I'm in, too."
Chu Haoling responded as well.
And since he said so, Lu Haixuan had no problem with that because he was so glad to have the chance to die with Chu Haoling on the same day.
"Isn't it what we always do? Taking the special paths all the time."
Shen Rui and his partners looked at each other and found the same answer in their eyes, let alone Meng Gang and the rest. Since the day they joined the Peak, they had already vowed to die for the Peak, for their families, and for Yun Che. Blood bond was more like a marriage certificate for two who loved each other deeply.
"Jiang, would you like to die with me on the same day?"
Ye Xingchen turned to hold Jiang Shang's face with a smile, and Jiang Shang didn't hesitate to nod his head, "Yes, sure, I'd love to."
Jiang Shang always gave brief but firm answers.
"Oh, Jiang, I love you the most."
Even if Ye Xingchen already had the answer, he still felt touched to hear that. He was so excited that he approached Jiang Shang and kissed him. It happened so fast that the single one, Meng Gang, couldn't bear them. He scolded, "Oh, screw you, men. Watch where you are, will you? Kissing in front of these kids? Well, we can see how desperate you are to have each other."
But when others turned to look at the kids he talked about, the children had already fallen asleep.
"Jiang, let's just leave the single one alone."
Ye Xingchen had long accustomed to such complaints, so he naturally took Jiang Shang's hand, entwined their fingers, and stared at Meng Gang provocatively.
"Anything you say."
"Oh, you damn bastard. Xu, let go of me!"
Had Jiang Shang ever disobeyed Ye Xingchen? Once they were out of bed, he was always adorable and obedient in front of Ye Xingchen. Just when Meng Gang rushed up and wanted to start a fight, someone said.
"I didn't stop you, man."
"Hahaha!"
What Meng Xu just said embarrassed Meng Gang and amused others at the same time. Despite how depressed they were before, they laughed out at this moment. After all, the essential problem was solved now, and they could finally live normally.
"Why is everyone talking about dying? Isn't it nicer to say that we will live, safe and sound?"
After the joke, Yun Che rolled his eyes and complained. All they had said was all about dying together as if they were destined to die. Didn't they even have any faith in him?
"Huh, so, the so-called blood bond. I assume it means we have to drink my brother's blood. Heiyu, are you sure it's not your trick to set my brother up?"
Keeping silent for a long time, Yun Cheng suddenly asked. There were many of them here right now. Even if each of them only needed a drop of his blood, he would soon have anemia. And given how scheming Heiyu had always been, it was very reasonable that Yun Cheng had such doubt.
With his reminding, others seemed to realize the same problem and couldn't help fixing their gazes on Heiyu.
Heiyu waved his legs unpleasantly, "Why are you guys looking at me like that? Do I look like such a bad guy?"
"Yeah, sure!"
"What the hell?"
Everyone nodded. Immediately afterwards, Heiyu's face went gloomy.
"Believe it or not, I've already given you the solution!"
After saying that, Heiyu ran to the sofa, curled up his body next to the kids, and wanted warmth from them.
"Let's do it in batches. You guys should ask around your teams if they would like to do this. If they are unwilling to do so, don't force them."
As they spoke, Yun Che had taken out a bowl and a dagger, preparing to bleed. Everyone watched in silence as Yun Che picked up the sharp dagger and slashed his wrist. The red blood flowed into the bowl like a string, and the bloody smell suddenly leached into everyone's nose. Xing Feng frowned subconsciously. In less than a minute, he grasped Yun Che's hand and said, "That's enough. We won't need that much."
At the same time, Xiu Jie and Lu Haixuan performed the superfunction of light they had prepared on his wound. Within a blink, it was recovered.
"That won't hurt. I'm fine."
Seeing the blood barely covering the bottom of the bowl, Yun Che was speechless to look at Xing Feng. Even if he got hurt at ordinary times, he bled more than those.
"I'm sure that's enough."
Looking at him deep in the eye, Xing Feng still frowned. He felt hurt even if Yun Che lost one drop of blood, not to mention he had a bowl right now holding it inside.
"All right, drink it before it dried. I'm not cutting myself twice today."
Understanding his concern, Yun Che reached out to hold Xing Feng's hand. He also remained the rest to drink the blood. He was not lying about not cutting himself again, at least today. Although the superfunction of light had made sure that there was not even a scratch on his wrist, it still hurt when cutting.
"Che!"
Yun Yao sobbed as she looked at her brother. She felt sorry for Yun Che because he seemed to have been sacrificing for all of them all the time, while she was more like a burden who couldn't help him but only get things worse.
"I'll do it first!"
Tan Weiye gritted his teeth, picked up the bowl, and sipped a bit. Once the blood was on his lips, he licked it with his tongue immediately.
"Ohhhhh."
Immediately afterwards, Tan Weiye felt his body burning. He sat down at once, casting spells while adjusting his breath. After him, Mo Wenyang and almost all the rest sipped the blood one after another. They had similar symptoms, and soon almost all of them sat on the ground to absorb the blood, including Chenchen.
"Heiyu, are you sure I can drink this?"
There was only Yun Cheng stood at the spot. He looked at Heiyu before taking the bowl. After all, zombies were not supposed to have any blood because they would go crazy afterwards. Therefore, he was not confident if he should do this.
"I have no idea."
Heiyu looked up at him, "Zombies are new species from the outside space. I've never seen such kind before. So, I don't have an answer."
Heiyu was telling the truth. Even if he was a noble beast, he didn't have all the answers, otherwise, they wouldn't have been here discussing about the shadow based on wild guesses.
