Chapter 342: Subduing the Demons!
"Big Silly Wind, what do you want to do?!"
As Evil Tongtian, the leader of the Four Great Evils, shouted angrily, countless eyes in the great hall fell on the burly man with a black face and big beard, who had a pair of circular leopard eyes.
The fourth among the Four Great Evils, the burly man nicknamed Evil Wind, was taken aback upon hearing this, then asked bewilderedly and timidly:
"Big brother, why are you yelling at me? Didn't you personally whisper to me that this kid Chen Zhixing dared to look down on us like this, and if there's a chance, we should chop him up alive?"
Upon these words being uttered.
Evil Tongtian felt darkness before his eyes, almost fainting.
"Shut up!!"
Catching his breath, Evil Tongtian shouted angrily, then quickly looked at Chen Zhixing, forcing a sheepish smile:
"Patriarch Chen, it was all just a joke, nothing but a joke!"
"Big brother, how can you say one thing in front of others and another behind their backs..." Evil Wind felt wronged all over his face.
"Get lost!!!"
Evil Tongtian could no longer hold back and slapped Evil Wind into the corner, then chuckled dryly at Chen Zhixing:
"Patriarch Chen, my fourth brother here fell when he was little and hurt his head, so please don't mind his nonsense too much..."
Chen Zhixing smiled, not bothering to get involved in these verbal disputes.
His gaze swept around, then turned to the others present in the great hall.
Someone held a soul banner, with a menacing aura all over.
Someone leaned on a ghost head walking stick, shrouded in black mist, from which the sounds of little ghosts gnawing echoed incessantly.
Someone was covered in poisonous insects; someone else looked fierce and murderous.
In short, the remaining twenty-plus individuals in the great hall, just from their appearance and aura, it was clear not one of them was a righteous soul.
Chen Zhixing was indifferent to this and spoke with a smile:
"There's not much more to say; today, whoever is willing to join my Chen Family and fight for us, we will provide all the resources for cultivation, and concurrently, should you fight for the Chen Family, the Chen Family will shield you."
As these words fell.
The present demons and wicked masters exchanged glances, their eyes flickering.
Wasn't what Chen Zhixing said precisely the purpose of their visit this time?
As for fighting for the Chen Family...
They inwardly chuckled; should the Chen Family truly face an insurmountable calamity, they would simply leave. When the Ziwei Chen Family couldn't manage to protect themselves, how could they possibly control them?
"Patriarch Chen, you are generous! But I have offended the Radiant Sacred Lands. If I join the Ziwei Chen Family, should the Radiant Sacred Lands come seeking me, would the Patriarch hand me over?"
An old, severe-looking man with tiny green bean-like eyes hesitated before speaking up.
Chen Zhixing glanced at him and raised an eyebrow:
"Thousand Bat Elder?"
Upon hearing the name, the severe-looking old man paused, then nodded and said: "I didn't expect the Patriarch to even know my name?"
"I've heard it a few times."
Chen Zhixing smiled. This Thousand Bat Elder was skilled at breeding Blood Bats; he once infiltrated the Radiant Sacred Lands and drained the blood and flesh of their Mountain Guardian Divine Beast to nurture his Blood Bats.
Later, an enraged Radiant Sacred Lands issued a Heavenly Pursuit Order, relentlessly hunting down this Thousand Bat Elder.
The Thousand Bat Elder suffered greatly from the hunting and fled everywhere.
"Then... if the Radiant Sacred Lands came looking for me, would the Patriarch hand me over to avoid trouble?"
The Thousand Bat Elder looked at Chen Zhixing with bright eyes.
The others also had their hearts skip a beat, staring intently at Chen Zhixing.
Their situations were not much different from this Thousand Bat Elder; most of them were individuals who had nowhere else to go.
Therefore, Chen Zhixing's response was crucial.
They were afraid Chen Zhixing would hand them over to curry favor with other top forces.
At these words, Chen Zhixing angrily said: "Bah, what Thousand Bat Elder? This Patriarch only knows a Thousand Bat True Saint whose entrance to the Ziwei Chen Family benefits the world!"
Upon these words being spoken.
The Thousand Bat Elder was initially stunned, then delighted, kneeling down to pledge:
"I, the Thousand Bat True Saint, am willing to join the Ziwei Chen Family, fight for Ziwei, fight for the Patriarch!"
"No rush."
Chen Zhixing shook his head and smiled lightly: "Wanting to join the Ziwei Chen Family has its conditions as well."
With these words, he glanced at Chen Daoshan behind him.
Understanding instantly, Chen Daoshan stepped forward and spoke solemnly:
"To join the Ziwei Chen Family, anyone who has slaughtered civilians is not welcome; anyone who has committed rape or plunder is not welcome!"
"Additionally, joining the Ziwei Chen Family requires a curse seal to be implanted for a hundred years, with a minimum service of a hundred years to the Ziwei Chen Family!"
Upon these words being out.
The originally joyful demons froze as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over them, their expressions stiffening up.
"Those who do not meet the requirements may leave."
Chen Daoshan said expressionlessly.
For a moment, people looked at each other, and soon, five or six figures stepped out and left.
"This... doesn't the curse seal equate to shackles around our necks? I'm sorry, but I cannot comply with this!"
Subsequently, several more figures left in succession.
Chen Zhixing didn't mind, watching them leave with an unperturbed demeanor.
The already somewhat deserted great hall became even more sparse, with only thirteen figures remaining.
What caught Chen Zhixing off guard was that the previously clamorous Four Great Evils and the Thousand Bat Elder, among others, did not leave.
"Uncle Four, take them to have the curse seal implanted and then make arrangements."
Chen Zhixing nodded and said.
Among these remaining thirteen, more than half were in the True Self Peak, and even the leader of the Four Great Evils, Evil Tongtian, along with the Thousand Bat Elder and others, had one foot in the Nirvana Realm, only needing a trigger to enter it!
This was already satisfying for Chen Zhixing.
With their addition, the strength of the Ziwei Chen Family would grow even stronger!
A moment later.
The Four Great Evils and others followed Chen Tianchen to have the curse seal implanted.
However.
In the corner of the great hall, two people remained motionless.
"Fellow Nirvana Taoists, do you have anything to discuss now?"
Chen Zhixing's gaze turned to these two.
The gaze of these two also turned to Chen Zhixing.
These two were naturally the Fifth Master and Ji Bu, who had escaped from the Profound Celestial Sacred Lands.
Both had reached the Nirvana Realm with overwhelming blood energy, hair fiery red like flames, resembling an elder Golden Lion King, whose cultivation had reached the Nirvana Eighth Layer!
His strength was likely not beneath that of the Netherworld Elders!
"Patriarch Chen, may we have a word?"
Ji Bu, carrying Little One, glanced around and whispered.
"Everyone, leave."
Chen Zhixing instructed those behind.
"Zhixing, these two are not weak. If they have ill intentions..."
Chen Daoshan hesitated and said.
"No worries, the person who can kill me at the Nirvana First Realm is probably not yet born."
Chen Zhixing smiled slightly, his calm words carrying an immense confidence!
With his cultivation breaking through the Nirvana Fifth Layer, and the nine Great Tao Seeds in his body further fused, his strength had seen a remarkable increase!
Across the East Profound Domain, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that at the Nirvana First Realm, he was at least unbeatable!
