After returning to the castle, Butian and Yaheng went straight to Sean's room and told Sean a little about the trip to the banquet.

Brent ...... I've guessed Hawke's identity, so you must have known it for a long time, right?" Sean was playing with a piece of blue crystal in his hand, and he didn't look at Butian, and said slowly to himself.

Bu Tian nodded in a deep groan, and said solemnly: "I heard that this person used to be a member of the famous Demon Flame Mercenary Group, and his strength had reached the peak of the intermediate level 4 at that time. Later, for some reason, this Hawke defected to the Demon Flame and was chased and killed by the entire Demon Flame mercenary group, but even if its head made a move, he still couldn't kill this person. ”

"You're talking about... The Hand of Shadows... Hawke?" Yaheng listened to Butian's introduction on the side, only to feel that the more he listened, the more familiar he became, and in the end, he instantly remembered the person in his memory, and couldn't help but be shocked by his own guess.

Glancing at Yaheng's words, Bu Tian nodded with a smile and silently, and then heard Yaheng gasp.

"Speaking of... This Hawke became famous earlier than me, and he can be regarded as my predecessor. I thought that his strength in his life was unpredictable, and he could be called an invincible powerhouse under the high level, but I didn't expect it...... After many years, this person has taken refuge in the little Edra family... It's really buried his amazing talent, and he fell into the grass!"

Sean's eyes were shining, as if he was reminiscing, and his words were low and filled with infinite emotion.

Bu Tian's expression moved when he heard this, as if he remembered something, his eyes looked at Sean, and after a little hesitation, he said, "Can the predecessors know the blood contract?"

"Blood Pact...?" Sean was stunned for a moment, frowned and looked at Butian, and then fell into a burst of thought.

Looking at Sean in thought, Butian waited quietly in place and did not disturb. After a long time, Sean took a deep breath, stared at Butian with burning eyes, his face was extremely stern, and said, "I probably know what you mean...... I also remembered this blood contract.

If I guessed correctly, this blood contract, as long as people willingly drop a drop of blood on it, will form the power of the contract and imprint it into the soul of people.

From now on, the person who spills blood will become the slave of the master of the contract, and he will not frown even if the owner of the contract asks for his life. Sean said in a low tone, and when he said this, he sighed and looked at Bu Tiandao: "You mention this blood contract at this moment, could it be that you guess that Hawke's defection to the Adra family is not his true will, but the blood contract?"

"No... With the strength and arrogance of the Shadow Hand Hawke, how could he willingly establish a blood contract, I'm afraid that even a high-level giant can't make him do so. Yaheng looked incredulous, shook his head and retorted, but when he saw that Bu Tian and Sean were both grim and groaned without saying a word, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"This pact of blood... I have seen Count Warren try to use this pact against me, but he has not been able to do so. The reason why Hawke followed me and the reason why Kevin targeted me so much was actually because of this...... for I am not faithful to his house of Aydra. Butian's eyes flashed with coldness, and he confessed his situation.

Sean's eyes narrowed, and after a while, he said slowly, "This Edra family... It doesn't seem to be as simple as it seems. The blood contract is an ancient thing, dating back to the period of Huabao's unification, and it was a thing specially refined by the Blood God Palace, a powerful force in the Heavenly Clan at that time, to control the slaves, and it was rarely passed on.

Can have a Blood Pact...... Can make the Hand of Shadows Hawke willingly die for him. This Edra family has a big secret!"

"Celestials... Blood God Palace..."Bu Tian's eyes moved, and he glanced at Ya Heng without a trace, but saw that Ya Heng's eyes were contemplative, as if he was remembering something.

"Brent... Set this aside in advance, and you can calm down and prepare for the pinnacle showdown. After the summit showdown... I'll take you to meet the Aydra family for yourself and see what makes it special. Sean's tone was flat, his face was calm, and he looked at Butian and whispered.

"Sean's predecessor personally stepped in. Butian was overjoyed, and immediately bowed down and said gratefully: "Thank you seniors for your willingness to help." ”

I can't help but like it, the affairs of the Edra family have always been a piece of his heart, the potential threat of Earl Warren, Wendy's anticipation, and Hawke's approaching... All of this has completely linked Butian to the Edra family.

If this matter cannot be resolved, even if Butian escapes from the Duchy of Crook under the protection of Sean and escapes the control of the Edra family, the slightest bond left with Wendy will become his biggest heart disease in the future, and lovesickness will become a long-term illness.

When Sean promised Butian to protect him yesterday, Butian had already taken the matter to heart, and planned to find a suitable time to bring up the matter, asking Sean to solve his affairs in the Aydra family, dispel Count Warren's covetousness, and take Wendy away.

This matter was originally planned to be raised to Sean after the peak duel and when he achieved an excellent ranking.

Unexpectedly, before this peak duel began, Bu Tian didn't even open his mouth to make a request, and Sean had already taken the initiative to respond to the matter, which made Bu Tian feel like a dream, and happiness came very suddenly.

Until he said goodbye to Sean and separated from Yaheng, Butian felt a dizzy sense of happiness after returning to his room.

"Hahaha...... The master is worthy of being the best crossing man who has opened the protagonist mode, everyone loves flowers and flowers bloom, and tigers recognize them when they see them. With Sean's help... The matter of the Edra family will no longer be a problem, and I can now fully calm down and prepare for the peak showdown the day after tomorrow. ”

Bu Tian flipped over to the bed, his whole body completely sunk into the soft velvet mattress, and the sound of laughter kept coming out of his mouth, and he was extremely excited.

"I've always believed that there is no appreciation and help for nothing, but Sean treated me like this, and it completely subverted the concept I believed in. Sean...... This person will be the first noble person I have ever met, and I need to remember it. Bu Tian thought in his eyes, muttered in a low voice, and his voice was inaudible: "There is one more thing, after a day, it will be the beginning of the peak duel."

This summit matchup is my destiny and the only springboard that will change where I am now, and I need to seize this opportunity no matter what. In the deep groan, Butian's eyes were bright, like bright stars emitting dazzling light, he seemed to see his future path, as if he touched his own destiny.

Although there is no end in sight to this road, there is a light shining ahead, although this fate invisibly implies a crisis, but after breaking the cocoon and turning into a butterfly, it is infinitely created.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, another day passed, and the day of the start of the summit showdown was imminent.

During this day, Bu Tian has been quietly staying in the room to cultivate the energy in his body, with Cangyu as the auxiter, and the speed of energy increase in his body is not slow.

According to Bu Tian's estimate, if he can keep using this lowest-grade nine-grade cangyu to cultivate, it may only take ten days to open the first acupoint, and then add the ten acupoints he has when he breaks through the intermediate level, his own energy value will reach 110 points, and this extra ten points of energy can support him to use some more combat skills.

It's a pity that the jade order in Butian's hand, which symbolizes the identity of the seed player, does not contain too much energy. Perhaps after barely supporting him to open the first acupoint, the energy contained in this jade order will be depleted, and then this jade order will also be completely turned into ordinary jade, and there will be no trace of energy contained in it.

"Cultivation energy... It's all about money. If I can't obtain a large amount of jade, I'm afraid that my speed of breaking through to the advanced level will be delayed indefinitely...... This matter needs to come up with a good solution. Bu Tian's eyes were deep, and he thought silently on his knees: "And my two combat skills, the Wild Cloud Palm and the Dragon Walk...

Now that my strength has entered the intermediate level, if the kung fu on this fist and foot is only a low-level skill, it will inevitably limit my combat power too much, not to mention anything else, just when fighting with others, it is difficult to form an advantage in the level of skills. Bu Tian frowned and pondered, and after a while, his mind condensed and opened the personal attribute panel, and his eyes fell on the thirteen swords of the Netherworld in the skill interface.

"Nether Thirteen Swords (Active) Rank: Beginner Level 2. Skill Effect: Increases your attack by 100%, and consumes 2 energy points per minute. Mastery: Thoroughness. ”

"Although the level of this Netherworld Thirteen Sword is low, its lethality is not weak, and its power is comparable to the combat skills in the low-level 2-level combat skills, even compared with some middle-level combat skills, it is not inferior in power. A smile appeared at the corner of Butian's eyes, and he sighed slightly in his heart: "Especially this coincidence, this Netherworld Thirteen Swords broke through to the Fifth Heaven Realm......

The mastery has reached a full level, and the lethality has increased dramatically, from the original increase of 80% of my own attack power to the current increase of 100%, which is equivalent to my strength has doubled in the state of casting the Thirteen Swords of the Netherworld. ”

Bu Tian was a little happy in his heart, but until now he still didn't know that the Thirteen Swords of the Netherworld were the secret of the forbidden technique, and Count Warren, who harbored evil intentions, naturally would not take the initiative to explain such things to him.

Just after a day of staying in the room, the open and secret battles between the various contestants were in full swing, assassinating, poisoning, and doing everything, even some of the contestants who stayed in the castle room and wanted to avoid it were not spared.

Drinking water was poisoned, food was poisoned, and some of the contestants who were lured out of the castle were brutally murdered, and often by the time the elite squad guards arrived at the scene, the killer had already fled, leaving only a corpse on the ground with wide eyes and dead eyes.
