After Su Mo, Shangguan Li also picked up another small knife, cutting open his palm and dripping his blood into the bowl.
Their blood mingled together just like that.
Finally, they each dipped their fingers into the bowl, covered with the mixed blood, and smeared it by their mouths.
The blood left a crimson mark on their faces, binding their fates closely together.
A blood pact.
This is an ancient ritual of an extremely long-standing history.
In this modern era of advanced technology, ancient practices are often out of trend, yet the mercenary realm with an equally aged history enjoys such customs.
In the mercenary realm, when two mercenary corps leaders perform a blood pact, it signifies that their teams are thus bonded in a blood alliance, advancing and retreating together, sharing honor and disgrace.
The blood pact ritual is not uncommon; many mercenary corps with good relationships perform this ceremony.
