JSCMU-Chapter 34: Find Trouble From Anyone Else But Yun Jin

Previously, when Yun Jin dueled with Chen Hao, they had also signed a contract.

But they had only used silver contract parchment, which required enforcement by the Discipline Hall.

If they used a golden contract parchment, it would be recognized under the Heavenly Dao. If either party went back on the agreement, they would face divine punishment.

Yun Jin pressed aggressively, and Ruan Jun couldn’t help but laugh in anger. “Do you really believe that in three months, I’ll lose to you?”

“It’s not about belief. It’s something that will definitely happen,” Yun Jin said seriously.

With the Azure Lotus Sword Art in her hands, she had the potential to fight across cultivation levels.

As long as she can reach Golden Core Stage within three months, there is a strong chance she could win.

For others, reaching Golden Core Stage in just three months might seem like a fantasy.

But for Yun Jin, it wasn’t impossible.

Even if it’s solely for the sake of refining the Heaven Mending Pill, she must reach Golden Core Stage.

“Golden contract parchment, is it?” Zhao Wuji suddenly smiled. A shimmering sheet of golden parchment appeared in his hand. “Both parties may channel their spiritual energy into this to establish the contract.”

Zhao Wuji didn’t think Ruan Jun would lose.

Since they now had a perfectly legitimate way to get rid of Yun Jin, why not take it?

Zhao Wuji glanced at Sword Elder. “Senior, while you promised her one year of peace, this is something she agreed to of her own accord. What do you think?”

Sword Elder’s expression was complicated, but he eventually said, “Since a contract is involved, I naturally will not interfere.”

“Xiao Jin! You’re still being too reckless,” Lin Ya said anxiously. He secretly sent her a voice transmission: “If you really want revenge on Ruan Jun, your master will find a way to quietly get rid of him.”

Yun Jin hadn’t yet learned how to use voice transmission, so she responded aloud, calmly, “Senior Brother Ruan, you promised to give me your head. Since you don’t intend to keep that promise, I’ll come take it myself.”

Without hesitation, Yun Jin pressed her spiritual energy into the golden parchment.

“Since Junior Sister insists, I have no choice but to go along,” Ruan Jun said with a helpless smile, but he quickly channeled his energy as well, afraid Yun Jin might regret it.

A moment later,

Both Yun Jin and Ruan Jun closed their eyes.

They had successfully signed the contract.

The contents were simple:

A duel in three months. The winner lives, the loser dies.

The contract was established.

Heavenly law descended.

The golden contract parchment vanished into thin air.

It was now a sealed fate.

The disciples of Heavenly Sword Peak all looked worried, but since Yun Jin was so determined, they could only remain silent.

“Well, that settles this matter,” Zhao Wuji said with a smile. “Shall we all disperse now?”

“Just a moment.” Yun Jin nodded, then suddenly turned to another disciple who had also once promised to give her his head.

That disciple instinctively shrank back.

Yun Jin looked him in the eye. “You said you’d give me your head too. So, are we signing a life-and-death contract…or are you going to pay up to avoid disaster?”

The disciple froze.

Pay up to avoid disaster?

He was only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, and Yun Jin’s sword talent was simply too terrifying. Truth be told, he was a little scared.

“P-Pay to avoid disaster, I guess…” the disciple said meekly. He timidly handed over a storage pouch. “Will… will this be enough?”

Oh? A storage pouch?

This was the first time Yun Jin had ever received one in this lifetime. She checked the contents, then nodded with barely concealed reluctance. “Fine, we’ll call it even.”

The disciple visibly let out a breath of relief.

Yun Jin then turned to look at the others who had been demonstrating techniques earlier.

Those few panicked. “Junior Sister Yun, we never said we’d give you our heads!”

Yun Jin nodded. “That’s true.”

Just as they were about to relax,

Yun Jin continued, “But you deliberately practiced the wrong moves. It’s obvious you weren’t up to anything good. I think you should pay a price for that. Don’t you agree? If not, once I reach Foundation Establishment Stage, I’ll challenge each of you personally.”

She said this with casual indifference.

But the disciples’ expressions immediately changed.

“I-I’ll pay too,” one of them said.

This Yun Jin clearly wasn’t normal!

Remember!

Never provoke a lunatic!

The others nodded hastily in agreement.

And just like that, Yun Jin collected four more storage pouches.

“Junior Sister Yun, since you’ve taken the contents, could we at least have the pouches back?” one of them couldn’t help but ask.

Low-grade storage pouches weren’t particularly rare, but the way Yun Jin took them so naturally was infuriating.

“You’re reluctant to part with a single low-grade pouch? Are the disciples of Tianxing Sect really this poor?” Yun Jin asked with exaggerated surprise.

The group: “…Not exactly…”

“Then thank you, Senior Brothers,” Yun Jin said cheerfully, tucking the pouches away.

Low-grade pouches might not be worth much, but free is free.

All they could do was silently watch.

They were all thinking the same thing,

If something involves Yun Jin, don’t get involved.

This woman…

She holds grudges.

From Chen Hao to them, she hadn’t let a single one off the hook.

Even for Ruan Jun, she was dead set on a life-or-death battle with him.

If her cultivation weren’t so far below the others, they wouldn’t be surprised if she went straight to challenging the Sect Master himself.

With such a petty woman, it was best to keep your distance.

“Sect Master, its okay to disperse now.” Yun Jin asked.

Zhao Wuji was speechless, but still replied coldly, “Disperse.”

Heh.

Let her enjoy her little triumph for three months.

Zhao Wuji turned and walked away.

Ye Danxia followed behind, but glanced back at Yun Jin with concern and added a touch of pretense to her image. “Xiao Jin, why would you go so far as to sign a death contract? If you died, I’d be heartbroken.”

Yun Jin immediately replied, “Then tell Senior Brother Ruan to kill himself. You and I are sisters and he’s just a cheap senior brother. You know which one of us matters more, Danxia.”

Ye Danxia: “???”

Ruan Jun: “…”

“Danxia, I’m counting on you!” Yun Jin said with an encouraging smile. “Senior Brother Ruan likes you so much, maybe he would really die for you.”

“Xiao Jin, you must be joking…” Ye Danxia forced a reply.

She didn’t dare stay any longer. Leaving behind a quick farewell, she hurried away.

Heaven knows what Yun Jin would say next!

Yun Jin watched her go, looking slightly regretful.

Actually,

She really liked talking to Ye Danxia.

After all, Ye Danxia was #1 on her Emotional Points leaderboard!

And the top contributor needed proper maintenance.

She would be sure to reach out again for a little emotional farming later.

Sword Elder gave Yun Jin a long look, puzzled. “Girl, are you truly confident?”

Yun Jin smiled. “The path of the sword is to move ever forward. Who else, if not me?”

Given a second chance at life, she had her own path.

A path of vengeance repaid, and absolute dominance.

She would walk this path until there were no more worthy opponents.

Move ever forward—who else, if not me?

Sword Elder was momentarily stunned.

He suddenly realized,

This little girl hadn’t been bluffing with her earlier words.

She truly possessed the heart of the invincible.

And yet, she only has a Five Element Root.

Where would she go from here? Sword Elder couldn’t help but look forward to it.

“I’ll come watch the duel in three months,” he said.

“Don’t worry,” Yun Jin replied coolly. “You’ll watch me win, then cheer for me.”

Sword Elder’s lips twitched slightly before he floated away.

Yun Jin held her pose coolly, savoring the moment, when suddenly,

Thwack!

She clutched her forehead in pain and dropped the act. With a pout, she asked, “Master, why did you hit me?”
