Recruit
Hearing the words of the black-robed figure, Yang Qi was stunned. He never expected that the black-robed figure would take the initiative to recruit him to become a disciple of Emperor Yutian.
After coming to his senses, Yang Qi felt a little amused. In fact, when he first saw the black-robed figure, Yang Qi had already realized that the other party did not know his true identity. Now that the other party offered to recruit him, it further confirmed this point.
"Emperor Yutian?"
Yang Qi smiled noncommittally, looked at the black-robed figure and said, "Compared to becoming the direct disciple of Emperor Yutian, I am more interested in the temple behind you!"
Um
As soon as these words came out, the pupils of the black-robed figure shrank, and he looked at Yang Qi deeply, and then he said, "No wonder Xue Ming and Wan Shou died almost at the same time, and they didn't even try to escape. It turns out that they actually leaked the news of the Temple. You are really good at this!"
The Blood Nether Demon Emperor and the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Emperor claimed to be registered disciples of Emperor Yutian, but in fact they could only be regarded as practitioners who had inherited a kind of inheritance from Emperor Yutian. They knew very little about the affairs of the Temple. It was really beyond the black-robed figure's expectation that Yang Qi could get some information about the Temple from them.
“Regarding matters concerning the Holy Temple, as long as you become Master’s disciple, you can join us, and you will naturally know the information about the Holy Temple at that time.” The black-robed figure glanced at Yang Qi and continued, “The power of the Holy Temple is beyond your imagination. If you join the Holy Temple, you will be stronger than those disciples of Cangyue Temple or even the master of Zhenwu Sect.”
Hearing this, a look of disappointment appeared on Yang Qi's face. It was obvious that although the black-robed figure knew some things about the temple, he was unable to leak it out. He could only wait until he became a disciple of Emperor Yutian before he could learn this information.
Not to mention that Yang Qi had already been enemies with the Temple, even if there was no conflict between the two sides, he would not agree to join such an evil practice force.
Looking at the slightly disappointed Yang Qi, the black-robed figure couldn't help but ask in a deep voice, "You don't believe it?"
"No, I believe it!"
Yang Qi shook his head slightly. He knew how powerful the Temple was. The Temple was definitely one of the most powerful forces under the Source Holy Religion. Moreover, the organization of the Temple was obviously more rigorous than that of the Source Holy Religion. One could imagine how powerful the Temple was.
"So you are willing to become Master's disciple?" The black-robed figure's eyes lit up.
The black-robed figure is now only one step away from the Martial Emperor realm. Once he enters the Martial Emperor realm, it will naturally be impossible for him to look after the Martial Emperor realm practitioners under Emperor Yutian. This is why Emperor Yutian accepted three registered disciples again at this time and selected one of them to be his personal disciple.
Yang Qi has extremely high talent and potential, and is absolutely suitable to become a member of the Temple. That is why the black-robed figure took the initiative to recruit Yang Qi.
Yang Qi's eyes narrowed, and he said slowly, "What if I refuse?"
"Then you will die!"
A sharp light flashed in the eyes of the black-robed figure, and a strong murderous intent immediately surged from his body. Yang Qi knew his identity, so it was naturally impossible for him to stay.
"good!"
Yang Qi nodded, looked at the black-robed figure and said, "I refuse!"
Whoosh~
The moment Yang Qi finished speaking, a Martial Emperor-level talisman that had been prepared long ago was activated, and a sharp sword light slashed towards the black-robed figure.
"court death!"
Looking at the oncoming sword light, the black-robed figure snorted coldly and shook the big knife in his hand. In an instant, a blood-red sword light met the oncoming sword light.
Boom!
The two fierce attacks collided with each other, and immediately there was a shocking noise. Then an invisible force storm swept over, and the surrounding sealed time and space trembled violently.
"What?"
Looking at the black-robed figure who blocked the sword light, Yang Qi's expression changed slightly. This time he activated a life-saving item of one-star Martial Emperor level, but the black-robed figure in front of him actually relied on his own strength to resist, which was a little beyond his expectations.
"This person's strength is even greater than that black-robed practitioner who attacked me back then!"
With just one move, Yang Qi discovered that the black-robed figure in front of him was stronger than the black-robed practitioner he met in the Zhenwu Star Region. The black-robed practitioner in front of him obviously possessed a combat power close to that of a Martial Emperor, at least a half-step Martial Emperor!
“Since you are seeking death, don’t blame me. I want your body.” The black-robed figure grinned grimly. As he spoke, a strange black bell appeared in his hand, which was exactly the same as the Soul-Calming Bell that Yang Qi got.
"Soul-calming bell!"
Yang Qi's pupils shrank. No wonder the Blood Nether Demon Emperor and the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Emperor recognized the Soul-Calming Bell at a glance. What they had seen was not the records, but the Soul-Calming Bell in the hands of the black-robed figure.
“You are somewhat…” The black-robed figure was about to speak, but his expression suddenly changed, because he saw the Soul-Calming Bell in Yang Qi’s hand, and he couldn’t help but exclaimed, “How come you also have a Soul-Calming Bell?”
"Are you the only one allowed to have it?" Yang Qi sneered.
“It’s you!”
The black-robed figure's eyes fixed, his murderous intent became stronger, and he sneered, "So you are Yang Qi, no wonder a six-star martial emperor has such a strong fighting power. You relied on the Soul-Calming Bell to get some information from Xue Ming and Wan Shou before, right?"
Although the black-robed figure was not a Martial Emperor, he was definitely the best among those below him. Therefore, he was very familiar with the practitioners in the nearby temples. There was no 6-star Martial Emperor member in the temple who had the Soul-Calming Bell. However, there was a Martial Emperor peak practitioner who was responsible for killing Yang Qi, but he died and lost the Soul-Calming Bell. The black-robed figure knew about this, so after seeing the Soul-Calming Bell in Yang Qi's hand for a moment, he immediately guessed Yang Qi's origin.
It was ridiculous that he had wanted to recruit Yang Qi before. The hatred between Zhenwu Sect and the Holy Temple was not small. In order to seize the Hunyuan Tyrant Body, the strong men of the Holy Temple seriously injured the Zhenwu Emperor, but the loss of the Holy Temple was not small. After all, the Zhenwu Emperor himself was a strong man at the second level of the peak of the Martial Emperor. With the Hunyuan Tyrant Body, ordinary strong men at the third level of the peak of the Martial Emperor might not be able to do anything to the Zhenwu Emperor. Even if the Holy Temple with its powerful strength and profound background wanted to deal with such a strong man, it would have to pay a certain price. In addition, the Holy Temple took action against the Zhenwu Sect later, and the hatred between the two sides was even greater. The Zhenwu Sect was very wary of them, and it was very difficult to recruit the other party's practitioners, and even if they were recruited, it would not make much sense.
“If I can capture you today, I will have made a great contribution.” The black-robed figure smiled coldly and directly activated the Soul-Calming Bell. At the same time, he flashed and rushed towards Yang Qi.
While the black-robed figure activated the Soul-Calming Bell, Yang Qi also activated the Soul-Calming Bell to resist the effect of calming the soul. At the same time, he took out a life-saving item at the level of the Martial Emperor, ready to kill the black-robed figure in front of him. (To be continued)
