298 A Deal With The Vengeful Spiri (2/2)
”In any case, that was what you said last time.”
Leon shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly.
The vengeful spirit wracked her memory, but she still failed to recall such a thing as a section of her memory was blank. She fell silent, feeling both wronged and depressed.
”Well, it's not impossible for me to help you. However, I have a few conditions you must accept for that to happen.”
The vengeful spirit's eyes lit up, and without hesitation, she said, ”I will accept those conditions!”
”You will? Even when I have yet to tell you what those conditions are?”
”It doesn't matter. I have been trapped down here for so long. I will do anything if it means I can leave this place instead of just waiting to die.” The vengeful spirit said determinedly.
Leon was intrigued and asks, ”Even if it means limiting your freedom?”
”This… what are your conditions?” The vengeful spirit asked with embarrassment.
”The first condition is you are not allowed to indiscriminately harm humans without a justifiable reason. The second condition is you need to accompany me on a trip and help me save some people. The last condition is you need to open your spiritual sea and allow me to leave a blood imprint on your soul core.”
”I can agree to the first two, but what do you mean by the third condition?” The vengeful spirit asked warily.
The soul core was the most vulnerable part of her existence. If Leon damaged her soul core, it would greatly hurt her if it did not kill her outright.
”I do not trust you, so I need some guarantee. This would allow me to destroy your soul core with a single thought if you were to even have the intention of betraying me.” Leon said coldly.
Blood Imprint was the most common method of enslaving people. It was commonly used everywhere in the Divine Realm, except his late father's Divine Kingdom, the kingdom of medicine.
His father had looked down on such a technique because it can make a person do their every bidding, but it will not earn their loyalty.
However, if his late father, the Divine Medicine King, had used the Blood Imprint on his subordinates, how would they have had the chance to betray them?!
The vengeful spirit was silent for a short while before it voiced its agreement.
”Alright.”
”Are you sure? There's no going back after this.” Leon tried to sound out the vengeful spirit in case it was playing tricks on him. Perhaps he was overly cautious, but it was better to be safe than sorry.
”I am sure! Hurry up and get it over and done with! I want to get out already!” The vengeful spirit urged him with gritted teeth.
”Alright.”
Leon smiled and drifted down the well. He waved his hand and used Divine Will to part away the darkness gathered at the bottom of the well.
Although he did not need to wave his hand to use Divine Will, he found that it was less taxing on his mental energy this way.
Leon made sure he did not touch the formation at the bottom of the well as he did not want to be ensnared by its shackling chains like the vengeful spirit.
A Peak Tier 4 formation like this one was able to trap almost every Seeking Insight level Transcendents and below.
”Open your spiritual sea,” Leon said expressionlessly after producing some light on the tip of his finger.
The vengeful spirit complied soundlessly without complaint as a rift to her soul core opened on her forehead.
Leon bit his thumb and produced some blood essence before allowing it to float in front of himself as he made some hand seals and separated a part of his divine sense and added it to the drop of blood essence.
After this was done, he sent the drop of blood essence into the vengeful spirit's sea of consciousness and imprinted it on her soul core.
”It's done.”
The vengeful spirit was quite nervous, but after hearing Leon's words and sensing nothing wrong with her soul core, she was relieved. Her mood quickly improved as she excitedly said, ”Help me now.”
”I will.”
