Chapter 1135: Chapter 1135: Breaking the Contract
The Eagle Queen took a deep breath, calming her heart, and continued lying there to hatch her egg. She was determined to bring her child into this world safely and healthily.
But within less than a minute, i Ji’s call ca again, incessant and urgent, summoning her to co and assist. Bound by their spiritual contract, i Ji’s summons directly reached the Eagle Queen’s heart, leaving her restless and uneasy.
Helpless, the Eagle Queen opened her eyes and once again dispatched several Sixth Order Blood Eagles to the Chief Mansion to check. If no one blocked their way, they were to assist i Ji.
The Blood Eagles obeyed the Eagle Queen’s command and flew to the Chief Mansion once more. From afar, Ah Xia saw them and quickly went forward to intercept them, slashing her arm again to spill blood that demonstrated her Changkong family’s lineage, stopping the Blood Eagles from joining the battle.
The Blood Eagles, forced to relent, returned once again without accomplishing anything.
This ti, the Eagle Queen was frustrated. "It’s your Changkong family that calls for our participation, and it’s your Changkong family that stops us from participating. Are you mocking the Blood Eagles?"
The Eagle Queen decided to ignore i Ji, but it was to no avail—i Ji’s relentless, life-draining summons ca ceaselessly, as if stones were being thrown into the calm lake of the Eagle Queen’s heart, making it impossible for her to focus on hatching her egg.
Initially, the Eagle Queen tried to restrain herself, attempting to ignore i Ji’s calls. Yet, as the disruptions continued without pause, the Eagle Queen’s fury eventually erupted.
The Blood Eagles were a proud species; only because of ancestral teachings did they bow their heads to the Changkong family, willing to lend a hand in critical monts. But that did not an they deserved such disrespect.
i Ji knew full well that the Eagle Queen had just given birth and was now carefully hatching her egg, requiring peace and tranquility. Yet she kept using the spiritual contract to call upon her, disregarding the well-being of both the Eagle Queen and her unborn child.
If the Changkong family showed no respect to them, why should the Blood Eagles tirelessly serve them?
Unaware of the Eagle Queen’s mounting rage, i Ji continued her battle with Ye You while frantically summoning the Eagle Queen.
Feeling the smooth egg beneath her while enduring i Ji’s deathly calls, the Eagle Queen finally made a decision—one that might change the fate of the Changkong family forever.
The Eagle Queen explained her intentions to the two Blood Eagles guarding her. At first, they hesitated, trying to persuade her otherwise. But when they heard how i Ji’s spiritual contract was incessantly interfering with the Eagle Queen’s focus on hatching her egg, they reluctantly agreed to her decision.
With the Blood Eagle clan devastated earlier, this egg and the chick inside had beco exceedingly precious.
The Eagle Queen closed her eyes. The two Blood Eagles at her sides pressed firmly against her, ensuring that her imminent, violent pain wouldn’t cause her body to lose control and harm the egg beneath her.
Concentrating her divine sense, the Eagle Queen poured everything into her Magic Source, identifying the Changkong family’s contract buried deep within. Then, she unleashed all her magical power, ferociously blasting away at the contract.
The bond was fragile, much like the connection of trust and reliance between the two parties, and was soon destroyed by the Eagle Queen’s overwhelming magic. A wave of excruciating pain surged through her entire body.
She threw back her head and shrieked aloud, her mournful cries echoing far and wide.
i Ji heard the sound, but before it reached her ears, a wrenching pain erupted in her abdon, causing her to falter. Taking advantage, Ye You’s Holy Fire Illusion Sword slamd into her directly, sending her body flying.
i Ji struggled to sit up on the ground, wanting to summon the Eagle Queen again, only to realize she could no longer sense the Eagle Queen’s presence—the contract had vanished.
"That beast! It... it dared to break the contract with ? It simply doesn’t want to live anymore!" i Ji cursed furiously, but Ye You’s next attack ca swiftly, forcing her to focus on defending herself.
Terminating a contract was no trivial matter. If the Changkong family’s Clan Leader and the Blood Eagles’ Eagle Queen jointly agreed to dissolve the bond, the process would be smooth and cause no harm to either party.
But forcibly severing the contract could damage the Magic Source, lead to reduced magic power, and even severe declines in strength.
Though the Eagle Queen took the initiative to break the bond, the price she paid was far greater than i Ji’s.
After obliterating the contract within her Magic Source, the Eagle Queen was drenched in bloody sweat. Her magic strength plumted from the Seventh Order to the Fourth Order—a downgrade from Demon Emperor to Magic Star.
Once a lofty, invincible powerhouse, she was now reduced to a common figure in terms of strength. For her child, the Eagle Queen had nearly fought with her life on the line.
anwhile, i Ji only suffered minor injuries, which could fully heal after so rest—provided she survived, of course.
The contract’s dissolution severed i Ji’s escape route entirely. Her panic-mounted efforts grew clumsier, presenting more openings for Ye You, who rcilessly bombarded her with magic skills.
As the Clan Leader of the Changkong family, i Ji was naturally well-funded, and her storage ring held a trove of pills. She resorted to continuously swallowing them to stave off the onslaught.
Ye You also consud handfuls of pills. For this battle, he had accounted for every potential scenario and firmly believed his victory was inevitable.
i Ji fought bitterly for a long ti, but she was ultimately struck hard by the Wrath of the Deity unleashed from the Phoenix Scepter. She fell to the ground and could no longer rise.
Jiu Ge heard the Eagle Queen’s cry and saw his mother’s state suddenly deteriorate. He guessed sothing had happened with the Blood Eagles. Forcing himself to remain calm, he devised a plan and quickly found a flaw in Qing Xun’s Water Magic Trap Skill, escaping and rushing to i Ji’s side.
"Mother, are you alright?" Jiu Ge lifted i Ji up, anxiously asking with deep concern.
i Ji’s face was pale as a sheet, and she weakly replied, "Jiu’er, Mother might... might not make it."
"No, no, that’s impossible." Jiu Ge’s eyes reddened. This was his mother, flawed as she might be, yet still his only kin in this world.
Jiu Ge retrieved a pill from his storage ring and fed it to i Ji. As long as the injury wasn’t life-threatening, pills could generally save her.
Li Li saw Jiu Ge escape from the battle and quickly unleashed a Wind Sky Slash toward Qin Sisi. Using the mont she defended, Li Li also left the battlefield and reached Jiu Ge’s side.
After consuming the pill provided by Jiu Ge, i Ji felt slightly better. Her eyes glinted, and she held Jiu Ge’s hand, her expression sorrowful as she said, "Jiu’er, I regret not listening to you back then. I brought such calamity to the Changkong family. If I survive, I promise I won’t be so ruthless anymore."
