"I also want to take a disciple."
As the voice fell, everyone's expression immediately froze.
Who dared to contend with the Five Great Sacred Lands for a disciple?
Everyone turned their heads in unison.
Upon seeing that the speaker was the one dressed in a suit, with hair like a waterfall, possessing a handsome and devilishly charming appearance, a strange mark between his brows, and a host of demonic cultivators standing behind him, they all fell silent.
Shock appeared in their eyes.
Many people's eyes turned red.
How could Zhu Zhaoming be so lucky, not only having the Five Great Sacred Lands vying to take him as a disciple, but even this person wanted to take him as a disciple.
The people from the Five Great Sacred Lands also froze, then their expressions turned grim, and the atmosphere in the venue became heavy and murderous.
Zhu Yanyan and Zhu Zhaoming were first shocked, then gradually came back to their senses.
Chen Jiuyang took in everyone's reactions and said, "What, if your Five False Dao can take disciples, can't this seat take disciples?"
"Do those of the Demonic Path dare to ruin such a prodigy?" Qi Changsheng said with disdain.
Xia Daosheng even sneered, "Does a slave of three surnames dare to speak so arrogantly here?"
Chen Jiuyang was not angered. Through their reactions, he understood that the Sacred Land attendees did not know the true secret of Zhu Zhaoming, and were merely being used as tools for a mission.
He looked calmly at Zhu Zhaoming and said lightly, "What the False Dao can give, this seat, representing the Sacred Dao, can also give you."
"What the False Dao cannot give, this seat can also give you."
"Presumptuous!"
"How boastful is the Demonic Lord Qianyang!"
"So what if my tone is boastful?" Chen Jiuyang stood with his hands behind his back and said faintly, "My Sacred Sect has four hundred thousand disciples. If you become my disciple, you will be the designated Holy Son of the Sacred Sect, second only to one and above ten thousand."
Everyone's hearts skipped a beat upon hearing this.
"I have heard that you are fond of women. Coincidentally, my Sacred Sect has tens of thousands of female cultivators from the Joyful Union lineage. If you become my disciple, all female cultivators from the Joyful Union lineage can become your cauldrons."
Everyone's faces suddenly changed. Damn it, what did this person see in Zhu Zhaoming to be able to offer such tempting conditions?
Even Zhu Zhaoming's face turned red. After all, he was only twenty years old and his thoughts were too shallow.
The Five Great Sacred Lands immediately began to scold:
"Demons are just demons, to utter such blasphemous words!"
"Zhu Zhaoming is such a prodigy. If he joins your Demonic Path, he will likely become a cripple for life!"
"People of the Demonic Path say one thing and do another. Internal strife and competition are brutal, completely incomparable to the harmonious cultivation of our Five Great Sacred Lands. Zhu Zhaoming, do not believe the demon's lies!"
"Indeed, everything said by people of the Demonic Path is false!"
Chen Jiuyang said lightly, "This seat began practicing martial arts at the age of twenty. I have lived in Fengcheng since childhood. Who doesn't know my life experience? Who doesn't know my character and conduct? When has this seat ever told a lie?"
"Zhu Zhaoming, your Zhu family already has a connection with this seat. You should know that if you take me as your master, you will definitely not suffer a loss."
Zhu Yanyan and Zhu Zhaoming were moved.
Chen Jiuyang's character and conduct were truly impeccable.
Seeing that Zhu Zhaoming showed signs of being moved, Xia Daosheng's expression turned cold and he threatened, "Demonic Lord Qianyang, we usually mind our own business. Do not ruin your future path for the sake of taking a disciple."
"Just by you?" Chen Jiuyang slowly scanned the entire audience and said calmly, but with an unparalleled dominance, "Or by all of you? Even if all of you attack together, it won't be enough for this seat to fight."
Who could hear such arrogant words without feeling their blood boil?
Especially a young man like Zhu Zhaoming, who was just over twenty years old and had been practicing martial arts for half a year!
"How arrogant!" Qi Changsheng said with unfriendly eyes, "Here, there are five people whose rankings on the Mountain River List are higher than yours, Qianyang. Where do you get your confidence from?"
Chen Jiuyang stood with his hands behind his back, a sinister curve slowly rising at the corner of his mouth, his voice spreading, "Then try to make a move. Let's see who dies here today."
The atmosphere in the venue immediately dropped to freezing point.
Chen Jiuyang knew that they did not know the true secret of Zhu Zhaoming. As for the people from the Five Great Sacred Lands, they were proud of their status and might not truly risk their lives for the missions assigned by their sects. After all, they could all step into the Imperial Dao in the future. With the great era reviving now, why should they be harmed here?
While the people from the Five Great Sacred Lands were contemplating.
Zhu Yanyan's voice rang out, "Thank you for your good intentions, esteemed seniors of the Five Great Sacred Lands. After careful consideration, junior has decided to let my younger brother apprentice under Demonic Lord Qianyang!!!"
In an instant, the expressions of the Five Great Sacred Lands and Zhu Zhaoming were all stunned.
Zhu Zhaoming's expression was first stunned. He didn't understand why his sister made such a choice, but since the words had been spoken, he had no choice but to agree:
"As my sister said, junior has decided to take Demonic Lord Qianyang as his master!"
"Hahahaha!!!"
Chen Jiuyang immediately burst into laughter, "Good disciple, perform the disciple ceremony!"
Zhu Zhaoming glanced at Zhu Yanyan, then knelt on the spot and kowtowed to Chen Jiuyang three times and nine times!
"Good."
Chen Jiuyang gently extended a hand, and Zhu Zhaoming was lifted up by an invisible force.
The expressions of the Five Great Sacred Lands turned extremely grim. Qi Changsheng, Xia Daosheng, Jin Wuhen, Shui Dongliu, and Ye Tiannan all remained silent, calculating in their hearts. With Chen Jiuyang's combat power, if a battle broke out here, Chen Jiuyang would surely die, but one or two of them would inevitably perish here.
However, none of them wanted to die!
No one dared to gamble on whom Chen Jiuyang would choose to attack if a fight broke out.
Until finally, Xia Daosheng uttered a harsh threat, "Qianyang, you will pay the price for your actions today."
Then, he dispersed the formation and led his men away. In his eyes, at most, he had made an enemy of Chen Jiuyang and failed to complete the mission assigned by his sect.
But little did he know... what Zhu Zhaoming meant to them.
"It is not I who will pay the price, but you," Chen Jiuyang's eyes turned slightly cold.
He had gambled correctly. These people truly did not know that the higher-ups of the Five Great Sacred Lands used the Son of Destiny to guide the Nether Book to ascension.
As Xia Daosheng left, the remaining four Sacred Lands also departed one after another.
Fortunately, Chen Jiuyang came in person, otherwise Zhu Zhaoming would have certainly apprenticed under one of the Five Great Sacred Lands today.
It was also because he walked the path of the Human Emperor, his destiny was self-formed, and divination methods were ineffective against him. Otherwise, the Five Great Sacred Lands would have definitely sent old monsters to ensure Zhu Zhaoming apprenticed under them.
Always plotting against others, eventually blinded by the woodpecker!
Chen Jiuyang commanded, "You all immediately return to the sect and announce this seat's acceptance of a disciple."
Chen Jiuyang was currently the Sect Master of the True Demonic Sect, and his taking a disciple was no small matter; it would stir the thoughts of many.
At this moment, Zhu Zhaoming asked Zhu Yanyan, "Sister, why did you let me apprentice under Master?"
Zhu Yanyan replied, "Your Master is someone whose background is known, he will not harm you."
"That's right, no matter what, this seat will not harm you, but the Five Great Sacred Lands are uncertain."
"You all immediately return to the sect with this seat. All members of the Zhu family in Fengcheng will immediately relocate to the sect. Time is pressing, fortunately, I made preparations in advance."
A hint of killing intent flickered in Chen Jiuyang's brows.
The next moment, a terrifying aura descended upon the scene.
He could deceive the younger generation of the Five Great Sacred Lands, but he could not deceive those old monsters who wished to ascend!
