Chapter 276 Blood Oath
The oaths in this world are different from the world in Xu Zhenfeng’s previous life where oaths were regarded as farts.
If the human race were to swear an oath seriously, they would use their own blood as a special talisman for swearing an oath, plus the rootless water that could sense the heaven and earth.
That will be known to heaven and earth, and breaking the oath will be punished by the power of heaven and earth.
So when Lou Laoer asked Lou Laosan and Lou Laosi to swear, the two brothers who had just vowed that they would not covet that position, suddenly kept silent.
Seeing this, Lou Lao Er sneered.
"I told you two that you are not that kind-hearted. You are using my people to do things, and you still want to give you the benefits?"
Lou Laosi's expression changed very quickly. He immediately raised his hand, pointed his index and middle fingers to the sky, and said sincerely:
"Second brother, you don't have to be suspicious. I will swear an oath to you right now. I will swear whatever oath is poisonous. How about I kill my whole family first?"
"Go away. You're still swearing to kill your whole family? Don't you have me in your family? I know you have bad intentions."
Lou Lao Er was so angry that his shoulders were shaking slightly, and he pointed at Lao Si hatefully.
The third brother hurried to persuade them.
"Second brother, don't argue with that idiot Old Four. He is just anxious to avenge his mother. It's just an oath. Old Four and I will give you one. I promise to put your mind at ease and satisfy you."
Lou Lao Er calmed down his emotions, glared at Lou Lao Si, and then said, "Swear a blood oath. I will have people prepare the Taoist talisman and rootless water. They will be ready in no time."
When they heard Lou Lao Er ask them to swear a blood oath, Lao San and Lao Si looked at each other quietly, and then Lao San said in a muffled voice: "Why bother with a blood oath? We don't have enough time."
Lou Lao Er said coldly: "If you don't swear a blood oath, don't even think about using my people to do things. Otherwise, you can do it yourself. Whoever kills the wolf monster will be the heir to the General's Mansion."
Lou Lao Si gritted his teeth and said, "It's a blood oath, second brother, you should have people prepare the Taoist talisman and rootless water for the blood oath. Third brother and I will obey you in everything."
Lou Lao Er nodded in satisfaction, feeling that he had forced them to swear a blood oath, which did not look good, so he tried to make amends:
"It's not that I don't trust you two brothers, it's just that this matter is too big. If something goes wrong, it's very likely that I will be the one to suffer. You at least swear an oath, which will also make me, as your brother, feel more at ease."
Lou Laosan looked at Lou Laoer with a forced smile.
"Okay, second brother, you hold that person in your hand. Of course, you have the final say. What else can the fourth brother and I say?"
After hearing what he said, Lou Lao Er didn't think anything of it. Instead, he looked a little smug.
"This is the fate between me and that girl. You don't have to be envious. I paid for that fate with my life."
Lou Lao Si was listening to the second and third brothers talking nonsense, thinking in his mind what tricks he should do when he swears in a while to make the blood oath invalid.
Although they were in the courtyard of the Third Brother, Lou Lao Er was not confident in letting the Third Brother's men prepare the things for the blood oath, so he asked his confidants to prepare them.
The three brothers chatted for a while, and then the Taoist talisman and rootless water used for the blood oath were delivered.
Lou Lao Er personally placed two Taoist talismans in front of his two younger brothers, and also placed two bowls of rootless water and a small silver knife steadily on the table.
Lou Lao San looked at Lao Si and saw that he had picked up the silver knife. He cut his palm and blood instantly flowed out of his palm.
Lou Lao Si immediately placed his palm on the talisman and said, "I, Lou Qianlin, swear that as long as my second brother kills the wolf demon, I will make him the successor of General Fenwei and will never compete with him for the position of successor. If you break this oath, your body and soul will be devoured by the demons."
After hearing the oath, Lou Lao Er thought there was no problem, so he picked up the Taoist talisman with the bloody palm print of Lao Si, lit it with his own hands, and threw it into a bowl of rootless water.
The talisman was thrown into the bowl of water, but it did not go out. Instead, it quickly burned out, and black ashes sank to the bottom of the bowl.
Lou Laosi picked up the bowl of water and drank it all in one gulp. After putting the bowl down, he wiped his mouth and said frankly, "Second brother, can you rest assured now?"
Lou Lao Er smiled and nodded at him, "Don't panic, your third brother is still here."
Lou Lao San looked at the Taoist talisman and rootless water on the table and muttered, "I have broken several ribs and I am still bleeding. I am a patient, a seriously injured patient."
Lou Lao Er said impatiently, "It's just a little blood loss, it won't kill you. Hurry up, after you swear the blood oath, I can send someone to invite that person to come to Shahai City as soon as possible."
Although Lou Lao San was still reluctant, he still followed Lou Lao Si's example, swore a blood oath, and drank the burnt Taoist talisman and rootless water.
Seeing that his two younger brothers had sworn a blood oath, Lou Lao Er immediately changed into a different person, and said to them with a cheerful face:
"I will send someone to ask that person to come as soon as possible. In the next two days, you all should behave yourself. Don't act rashly and don't let the boss find out that something is wrong."
The third brother has been a little bored since he swore the blood oath.
At this moment, he was lying on the bed and said lazily: "I am already in this state, how can I act rashly?"
The fourth brother looked calm, but nodded to the second brother in a heavy tone:
"Don't worry, second brother. I'll leave this matter to you. There will be no trouble here."
Lou Lao Er nodded with a smile. He was extremely satisfied today.
The hands and feet of the two younger brothers were restrained at once, and from then on they could do nothing but assist him wholeheartedly.
Being able to have such a situation means that even if I have used up that person's only favor, it is not a loss.
In Lou Qianjiang's yard, Xu Zhenfeng and he were sitting in the pavilion drinking tea and chatting.
Huangjing baby stood in the garden on the other side with a wronged look on his face. The little guy was actually punished to stand there.
He got drunk four out of five meals since he came to Shahai City.
Yesterday it was fine as he didn't drink any wine during breakfast. But this morning when the servant brought him breakfast, he actually shouted at the servant to bring him some wine.
Xu Zhenfeng had always spoiled him, but now he saw him drinking even when having breakfast. Is he addicted to alcohol at such a young age?
He was immediately scolded and made to stand in the garden.
After breakfast, Lou Qianjiang came over to chat with him.
"There's news over there that the second brother's people left the city overnight."
"What do you mean? Are you contacting the demons again?"
"Not necessarily, but they are definitely going to find someone. I said, as long as they can hit me, they will not let go of this opportunity."
Xu Zhenfeng frowned and looked at him, still standing in the garden, not daring to move, but looking at him eagerly, pretending to be a pitiful Huangjing baby.
"They know that I am from the Earth-rank demon clan, and the helpers they find must be stronger than me, Brother Lou, are your people reliable?"
Lou Qianjiang put down the teacup in his hand and placed it neatly on the tea table together with the teacups for brewing tea. He also wiped the tea stains on the table clean with a wet cloth.
“Don’t worry, in addition to the several earth-level guards in the yard, I also asked Uncle Lu to protect you in secret.
Uncle Lu is a Saint King, and his strength is only slightly inferior to my father's. With him around, you will definitely be safe."
Xu Zhenfeng nodded. Human cultivators must enter the heavenly realm before they can be honored as holy kings.
With such a human saint king secretly protecting him, he felt more at ease.
