High Martial Arts: I Awaken a Low-Tier Martial System Chapter 1270: Slay! Burn Mountain Enslaved (Double Chapter)

But just at that moment.

“My lord!”

“I’m useful!” Burn Mountain suddenly snapped his head up and shouted, “I know… I know the Cangxu Civilization is planning something against Blue Star!”

Jiang Ye’s brows lifted slightly. The Eternal Night Spear pressed against Burn Mountain’s glabella, but did not stab down.

“Explain clearly.” Jiang Ye’s voice was calm, yet carried an invisible pressure.

Burn Mountain hurriedly said, “I don’t know the exact details yet, but I have private dealings with a high-level figure from the Cangxu Civilization. I can go back and gather intelligence!”

“As long as my lord spares my life, I’m willing to serve you, be your undercover agent, and probe every move the Cangxu Civilization makes!”

“I will never dare harbor a second heart!” Burn Mountain shouted from his knees.

Jiang Ye was silent for a moment.

Burn Mountain knelt on the ground, not daring to even breathe loudly.

Bai Qing and Zhao Tianji exchanged a look, but neither spoke.

After a long while.

“Fine.”

Jiang Ye said slowly, “But I don’t trust you.”

He raised his hand, and a blood-colored Divine Pattern condensed in his palm.

A servant contract.

Using both parties’ essence blood as the guide, branded deep into the Divine Soul.

The contract’s rules were exceedingly harsh—if Burn Mountain betrayed them, or leaked anything about today’s events, his Divine Soul would be annihilated on the spot.

And all Jiang Ye needed was a single thought to take his life across space.

“Offer your essence blood.” Jiang Ye said mildly.

Burn Mountain’s face turned ashen, but he did not dare resist.

He bit through his fingertip. A drop of golden Divine Blood flew out and fell into that blood-colored Divine Pattern.

The Divine Pattern flared suddenly, splitting in two. One strand sank into Burn Mountain’s glabella, the other into Jiang Ye’s palm.

“Buzz!!!”

The contract was sealed.

Burn Mountain only felt there was now an extra brand deep in his Divine Soul, icy cold and lethal.

He knew that from this day on, his life and death were no longer his own to control.

“Get up.”

Jiang Ye put away the Eternal Night Spear.

Burn Mountain stood up, trembling, head lowered, not daring to meet Jiang Ye’s eyes.

“What happened today must not be mentioned to anyone.” Jiang Ye looked toward Bai Qing and Zhao Tianji.

The two immediately swore by their Dao Hearts, vowing never to divulge it.

Only then did Jiang Ye nod.

“Master.”

After getting up, Burn Mountain seemed eager to render merit. He said cautiously, “I know of a treasure land that can help you break through to the Peak of the Divine Body Realm.”

Break through to the Peak of the Divine Body Realm? Jiang Ye’s eyes flickered.

What he needed most right now was indeed a breakthrough in his own Realm.

After all, only by breaking through could he truly wrestle with those who possessed Star Talent.

“Lead the way.” Jiang Ye said flatly.

Burn Mountain hastily moved to the front to guide them, and the group flew toward the depths of the Chaos.

…

Another region within the Nine Heavens Cave Mansion.

Chaotic currents surged like tides, more than ten figures threading through the dark streams.

The one in the lead was shrouded in dense Power of Darkness; wherever he passed, the chaotic currents automatically parted, as if fearing something.

This man was—

Second on the New God List of the Celestial Battle Civilization, Mo Yuan!

In his hand he held a damaged message Divine Talisman—the final missive Ye Lan had sent before dying.

The information on the talisman was extremely brief, only a single sentence:

“Ye Jiang has separated from Cai Kun’s main force and is heading toward the depths of the Chaos.”

Mo Yuan was silent for a moment, then crushed the talisman.

The fragments turned to dust in his palm and scattered with the wind.

“Ye Jiang.”

He softly spoke the name, his tone flat, revealing no emotion.

Ye Lan’s death did not concern him.

A fifteenth-ranked on the New God List—dead is dead, not worth a second glance.

But he remembered the Venerable Supreme’s order.

Ye Jiang, aside from the other Star Talents, was listed as the primary kill target for this operation.

“Separated from the main force, has he?”

“That does save us a good deal of trouble.” Mo Yuan’s expression remained indifferent. “If we run into him, we’ll kill him in passing, lest trouble festers over time.”

Mo Yuan confirmed the direction, his figure flickering as he led the ten-plus followers behind him, sweeping toward the direction indicated by the Divine Talisman.
