Chen Ning was not in a hurry. If the two wanted to live and did not want to endure the fear and despair of that silent cage anymore, they would definitely agree in the end.

Let alone backbone. When it comes to this thing, many ordinary people have more backbone than some cultivators, because it is not easy for them to practice, and they don't want to die easily.

Sure enough, after the two of them communicated secretly for a while, they came to a conclusion.

"Can we know what we will do when we return to the world of cultivation?" Zhao Ping'an looked at Chen Ning and asked.

Before, Zhao Ping'an was somewhat respectful to Chen Ning, but now he was obviously somewhat formally indifferent.

Come to think of it, if they are about to enslave themselves, who would be able to greet them with a smile? This might be one of the last times they will show Chen Ning some respect.

Chen Ning didn't care. This was an unfair deal and he didn't care about the changes in their hearts.

"Replace a few cultivators to guard the boundary gate and deal with the inspection of their sect." Chen Ning said straightforwardly.

"Guarding the boundary gate? This... How could the two of us possibly hide this from those cultivators? There are at least three powerful tribulation masters at the boundary gate." Zhao Ping'an said with his eyes wide open.

Song Baike was also speechless, the two of them were only in the late stage of fusion, any Mahayana could expose them, and they still wanted them to be the 'insider'?

Chen Ning just remembered that he had not yet said that he had obtained the key to the boundary gate, nor the current situation at the boundary gate.

"Don't worry about these. I'm not asking you to die. First of all, I've got the key to the boundary gate, and those powerful people who have transcended the tribulation have already left. There are only two captains in the Mahayana period and a few cultivators from the sects left to guard and patrol. The captains are my people, and most of the members have been bribed. Only a few who are difficult to deal with are allowed to disguise their identities."

Chen Ning explained the situation to the two of them in the briefest possible words.

Chen Ning spoke very calmly, but these words shocked the two of them completely. Their first reaction was that this was impossible. First of all, there were powerful people who had transcended the tribulation guarding that place, so how could they possibly steal the key to the boundary gate? Only someone who had transcended the tribulation could do that.

If this point cannot be explained, there is no need to think about the rest of the questions.

"In addition to you, I also captured two powerful tribulation-crossing warriors. They also signed a slavery contract with me, and the duration is as long as one hundred years. You should feel fortunate. Now you already know too much. Do you want to continue considering it?" Chen Ning also saw their doubts and didn't want to say any more nonsense.

"What? Two powerful men who have transcended the tribulation were enslaved by you for a hundred years? This..."

"We are willing to sign this contract."

The two were shocked at first, but soon nodded.

The meaning of Chen Ning's words was very clear. They already knew a lot of things. If they didn't accept slavery, they would have no choice but to go back to that cage.

"Then let go of your soul." Chen Ning said directly.

Then the slavery contract was finalized and signed.

Fortunately, there is no upper limit on the number of slavery contracts of this type, otherwise Chen Ning would be in trouble, because he already has seven slavery contracts.

As for the earliest slaves like Yao Yuan and Tu Ao, Chen Ning would not restrict their freedom. The main reason was that they were very stable and were working for Chen Ning in their respective positions.

Especially Tu Ao, who is currently training Mu Yin, Lan Yu, Zeng Dongfang and others in the Lan family, and will return to the Five Gates when the time is right.

The contract was solidified, and the matter between Zhao Ping'an and Song Baike was basically settled. In fact, if they thought about it, they felt that this was a good thing. At least they didn't have to follow Chen Ning all the time, and they wouldn't be constrained by the slavery contract all the time.

Of course, it is impossible for them to harbor rebellious thoughts after leaving, and no one can pry information about Chen Ning out of their souls.

Afterwards, Chen Ning didn't say anything more and directly called Yu Heilong and the Zhang brothers back.

Chen Ning naturally asked these three people for help in a negotiating manner. After all, it was an equal and friendly contract. If they strongly opposed it, Chen Ning would have no way to force them.

Fortunately, these three people have basically returned to their roots and have no objection to Chen Ning's arrangements. From a friend's perspective, if Chen Ning needs their help, they will help without hesitation.

So when Chen Ning told them about Yu Linglong's situation and what they were going to do, they agreed without much hesitation.

They would love to be able to return to the world of cultivation. They have no competitiveness here, and have to suppress their cultivation the whole time. This feeling is not good. Only the world of cultivation can allow them to release their cultivation without any scruples.

The matter was settled like this, and Chen Ning brought five people here to wait for news from the master. He believed that since the master said to wait for an hour, the matter would definitely be handled.

Li Zhongyuan was obviously a trustworthy man. Exactly one hour later, the statue sent out a vibration and summoned Chen Ning.

"It's done, but I need to give some benefits to the remaining people so that they will swear allegiance to me. This will require you to pay the price." Li Zhongyuan said directly to Chen Ning.

"...Master, you want the ten thousand year old stone milk, right?"

When Chen Ning heard what his master said, he guessed it immediately. After all, the thing about him that his master valued and even coveted was this thousand-year-old stalactite.

"Why do I want it? I want it for these people. I do this for you. For some things, physical deterrence alone is useless and there is no benefit. Who would do such a thing that may cost them their heads?" The master was very dissatisfied with Chen Ning's words.

"I understand, Master. How much do you think it will cost?"

Chen Ning did not argue with the master, of course he could not win the argument, after all, what the master said made sense. After all, the master did not enslave those people, it was more of a cooperation for interests.

"Just give ten grams to each person first, let them know you have the ability, and they will come to you if they need it again in the future. And I also told them that you are an alchemist, which is also very important. When the time comes, if you help them refine some pills, they will be more loyal." Li Zhongyuan said.
