Chapter 1305 Heaven and Earth Contract
Yin Tong and Hei Zhan weren't fools. As soon as Adams said that, they understood what he meant. They exchanged a glance and, based on the principle of "better to die than lose," instantly reached a tacit understanding.
However, the specific implementation method still needs to be discussed, especially with Yunxi, the person in question. If she is unwilling to receive payment in this way, they will have to find another way, which may come at a greater cost.
An hour later, the three of them had finalized the details of trapping Commander Musent of the Ninth Army. Now, all that remained was to contact the real target, the Cloud Saint.
While the three were struggling to figure out how to contact her, Yunxi took the initiative to appear again in the small meeting room. This time, her smile was obvious, and when the three were unsure how to start the conversation, she asked them:
"Have the three commanders reached a consensus?"
Yin Tong coughed lightly and then spoke:
"Yes, based on the information we currently have, the Zerg, with their powerful reproductive capabilities, are likely to be used by the Interstellar Federation for scientific research, giving them a chance to survive in this galaxy, which is something we absolutely cannot allow."
However, we cannot openly interfere with the Federation's scientific research and development, while the military is the beneficiary of such development, so we cannot too forcefully refuse this order. But as front-line combat troops, the three of us commanders are well aware of the danger posed by the Zerg.”
After hearing Yin Tong's long preamble, Yun Xi waved her hand to interrupt:
"No need for so much explanation, just tell me your decision."
Hei Zhan also felt that Yin Tong had laid too much groundwork, so as soon as Yun Xi finished speaking, he said in a deep voice:
"Please, Sage Yun, take action and wipe out these insectoids completely. We will pay the reward you mentioned."
However, as you have seen, the battles during this period have caused varying degrees of damage to the warships of both army groups, which are now barely operational. Furthermore, all the bio-mechs have been moved into the maintenance bays and are currently undergoing repairs.
Black War paused here, while Yunxi, still smiling, glanced at Adams.
Adams immediately replied:
"Since we're going to pay you, we certainly can't give you inferior goods or damaged or near-scrappy warships and mechs. The warships we give you must be brand new, so..."
Yunxi didn't want to listen to the three of them beat around the bush anymore, so she simply said it directly:
"So you've decided to give me the Ninth Army's main battleships and their brand-new mechs as compensation, but I have to collect it myself, is that right?"
Yin Tong, Black War, Adams: "."
When people are embarrassed, they really don't know what to say, especially when the other person sees right through their little scheme.
Yin Tong awkwardly brushed the white hair behind her ear, Hei Zhan touched his nose to cover up his embarrassment, and Adams stroked his chin with a sly smile. No one denied Yun Xi's statement.
Yunxi gently touched her sleeve and said with a smile:
"Since you have already reached an agreement, I will accept your commission. However, as proof that I can collect my payment, you must sign a contract with me."
Without further ado, Yunxi pushed a Heaven and Earth Contract scroll in front of the three of them. The scroll slowly unfurled, revealing the contents of the contract, written in both the common script and divine script of the Yunhai Star System. She would only take action after the Heaven and Earth Contract was signed.
Since she wants to take the products of this plane, she must do so legitimately and obtain the recognition of the Heavenly Dao of this plane; otherwise, it would be considered robbery, which would greatly reduce the merit she would gain.
Yin Tong, Hei Zhan, and Adams carefully read through each item. There were indeed no textual traps, but they couldn't understand another type of script. However, the golden luster emanating from this script had a powerful force that made them afraid to look directly at it.
Yunxi made sure all three of them had finished reading before she said:
“If the three of you have no objections, then imprint your spiritual imprints onto this contract scroll. Once the contract takes effect, it will bind both of us, and the party who breaches it will suffer the punishment of having their spiritual sea collapse.” After saying this, Yunxi took the lead in imprinting her spiritual imprints onto the contract scroll.
The three exchanged glances, but Yin Tong was the first to imprint her mental energy on the scroll. The scroll swayed and then flew to Hei Zhan's side.
Black War used a holographic projection, but he was surprised to see the scroll floating in front of him. He was certain that the contract in front of him was real and not a projection. He tried to imprint his mental mark on it.
The moment the mental imprint landed, Black War noticed that the contract had become ethereal, turning back into a projection, and then flying towards Adams.
Adams experienced the same situation as Black War. The contract was finally signed, and then a golden light flashed across the scroll. The names of the four people appeared at the same time, turning into a golden light that rushed into the foreheads of the four people. The four people clearly felt that the contract had taken effect.
Yunxi happily retrieved the Heaven and Earth Contract, which served as proof that she rightfully received her reward and was recognized by the Heavenly Dao.
"Gentlemen, I will fulfill the agreement on the day the Ninth Army arrives. The aftermath is up to you."
After saying that, Yunxi disappeared from the conference room, leaving the three of them looking at each other with a sense of unreality.
Finally, Black War whispered:
"When that golden light entered my mental sea just now, I felt like I had nowhere to escape."
Yin Tong rubbed her temples before speaking:
"There is a golden ball of light in my mind right now. This should be the constraint on us after the contract was signed. If we fail to fulfill the contract, this thing in our mind will destroy our mind."
Adams gasped and said:
"So domineering?"
Black War said irritably:
“We are making a deal with saints from a higher civilization. Do you think they would let someone who breaches the contract go? Don’t forget, it was you who suggested that the Ninth Army pay the compensation.”
Adams stroked his chin and said:
"Since the contract has already been signed, as long as Sage Yun fulfills the contract, we won't suffer any losses."
Yin Tong sighed and said:
"That's all we can do for now. We'll wait and see how it goes."
After the meeting ended, Yin Tong was immediately escorted by Yu Meng and Nalan Hang to the hibernation pod in the treatment room to rest as soon as she stepped out of the meeting room.
At this moment, Yunxi, hidden in the starry sky, held the scroll in her hand with great satisfaction, feeling that this trip had not been in vain.
There was still some time before she made her move, so she sank her consciousness into the space and sent a private message to "Fairy Qi Piao Piao," making a copy of the contract and uploading it to show that she had the permission of the Heavenly Dao to intervene in the matter of the insectoid invasion of the Cloud Sea Star System.
She received a reply shortly after sending her message.
The ethereal beauty said, "Little Yunyan, since you've intervened in this plane's insectoid calamity through proper procedures, I won't stop you."
However, since you've taken on this task, you must ensure it's completely resolved so that no future problems arise; otherwise, you won't reap the rewards of this good deed.
Yunxi's eyes lit up. This was practically a clear hint from her senior; if she still didn't understand, she'd be truly foolish. So she immediately replied:
"Senior, you can rest assured that I will handle things properly. I will absolutely not give the Zerg a chance to rise again in the Cloud Sea Star System."
