Chapter 1939: Termination of the Contract

Chapter 1939: Chapter 1944: Termination of the Contract

Lin Fei and the others followed the Dragon King to the forbidden place of the Dragon Clan, characterized by its towering mountains. However, the mountains here lacked any vitality, as if life had been washed away. Finally, they reached a massive cave, seemingly descending into the earth. At the cave’s entrance, the Dragon Emperor paused and loudly declared, “Old Sect Master, Aoguang pays respects!”

A loud shout echoed, followed by a deep dragon chant from within the cave, accompanied by heavy footsteps, as if burdened. Soon, a giant dragon emerged from the cave, appearing extremely ancient, with an old and frail demeanor, as if ready to depart for the afterlife at any moment.

The Dragon Clan’s proud expression had been replaced by a harmonious and kind look, and the dragon scales lacked their former brilliance, embodying the weary traces of time.

This was a Golden Dragon, yet its color had faded to a pale gold hue, and coupled with its ancient appearance, it resembled parched soil. It was believed this dragon was at least tens of thousands of years old.

“Greetings, Lord Dragon Venerate!”

Though his power had reached the Venerable Realm, this realm was his peak, unable to advance further; he could only wait for death.

Lin Fei and his companions also nodded in respect to the Dragon Venerate.

In Dragon Venerate’s eyes, there was no youthful light, only the marks of time. He looked at the few people before him and spoke, “Why have you come here?”

“Lord Dragon Venerate, my daughter has come here wishing to enter the Dragon Clan’s treasure!” the Dragon King explained.

Upon hearing ‘Dragon Clan Treasure,’ the Dragon Venerate abruptly opened his eyes and looked at the arrogant Dragon Girl, asking, “Saintess, have you… have you restored your memory?”

The arrogant Dragon Girl nodded, “Dragon Venerate, I have restored my memory and am ready to reclaim my power and prepare to head to the boundless battlefield.”

“Ah! It seems the Wheel of Destiny has begun. I wonder if the heavens can withstand this upcoming war…” The Dragon Venerate, with ancient eyes, looked at the vast sky, seemingly seeking unknown answers.

“Regardless of the answer, what’s destined will surely come.” The arrogant Dragon Girl spoke.

Upon hearing this, the Dragon Venerate nodded, “The Saintess speaks the truth; now I shall take the Saintess to the Dragon Clan’s treasure, but these few…”

Lin Fei stepped forward at this moment, nodding in respect to the Dragon Venerate. Despite everything, the elderly figure before him was someone worthy of respect, so Lin Fei bowed, saying, “Lord Dragon Venerate, before this, I hope you can undo the contract between me and the Little… the Saintess.”

Lin Fei had almost spoken of Little Black, out of habit, but quickly corrected himself.

“Contract? Did you sign a contract with the Saintess?” the Dragon Venerate asked.

Lin Fei nodded, “We signed a Life and Death Contract.”

“Oh? So severe? If you die, our Saintess cannot survive. That’s terrifying; such a contract is the hardest to dissolve.” the Dragon Venerate commented.

“Can you dissolve it, Senior?” Lin Fei inquired.

“Of course, given your current King Level, if you were at the Emperor-level, it would be impossible. At King Level, it can still be undone.” the Dragon Venerate assured.

Upon hearing this, Lin Fei felt relieved, saying, “Then please, Lord Dragon Venerate, dissolve our Contractual Power.”

“Certainly, connect your souls, and I’ll dissolve the contractual power.” The Dragon Venerate explained, guiding Lin Fei and the arrogant Saintess on how to proceed. The two swiftly followed instructions, and the Dragon Venerate began dissolving their contract.

Both felt a deep soul tremor until it faded completely, the Contractual Power vanished, and Lin Fei smiled, saying, “Lord Dragon Venerate, please help us remove the Contractual Power as well.”

Upon hearing this, Little Black, Little Knife, and Little White behind them, all showed surprise, not expecting Lin Fei to want to release them from contract binding, which caught them off guard.

“Are you certain?” The Dragon Venerate found it difficult to believe, wondering what was going on with this human. Contractual Power is the best binding force; why not use it?

Moreover, those bound by the contract are strong, a great aid, yet all are to be released?

“I am sure; everyone has their own life, their own path. I don’t want to bind their future and life, so please Lord Dragon Venerate, remove their contracts too.” Lin Fei sincerely stated; he had already decided upon coming here.

Upon hearing this, the Dragon Venerate nodded, “As you wish, let’s release all of their contract bindings.”

After saying this, the Dragon Venerate began utilizing his power to continuously dissolve the contracts, which drained a considerable amount of soul power. Fortunately, Lin Fei and the others weren’t as powerful as imagined; the contract owner’s weaker power made it easier to dissolve. The hardest was Little Fire, but eventually, with effort, Little Fire’s contract was also dissolved.

“Ha ha ha! I’m finally free; ha ha ha!” Little Fire laughed after regaining freedom, looking at Lin Fei and the others with newfound malice.

“Heh heh, do you know who I am? I am the Holy Fire! I am a little saint among flames; once I’ve found my power, you will all submit before me! Ha ha ha ha!” Having said that, Little Fire left directly, departing from Lin Fei’s group.

Lin Fei smiled wryly, shaking his head, “I hope he can safely navigate life.”

“You still have the heart to think of others?” The arrogant Dragon Girl remarked.

Lin Fei smiled, “Why not? During this time, he helped us a lot; it’s not wrong to hope his wishes come true, right?”

“You’re such a good-hearted person. Well, since the contract is dissolved, we should establish a new one.” The arrogant Dragon Girl stated.

These words left Lin Fei and the others stunned; why dissolve and then sign a new contract? What was the arrogant Dragon Girl thinking?

Dragon King Aoguang spoke, “Daughter, what’s wrong? Are you ill?” He reached over to feel her forehead.

The arrogant girl shook her head, “I promised Lin Fei to sign a contract; I won’t break my word. Lin Fei, come, sign the Master and Servant Contract.”

Stubbornly looking at the arrogant girl, speaking, “No need, you’re free; why continue signing contracts? Isn’t that right? Forget it, there’s no need.”
