Eternal Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 287 - 277 Recruitment Follower
The situation in front of the mountain gate was so tight that it was like water unable to seep through; Chu Hao and his two companions found themselves struggling to squeeze forward, moving a single step felt like fighting a battle.
Seeing two delicate beauties among the three of them, many actually harbored crooked thoughts, wanting to take advantage of the situation; but Fu Xue and the Barbaric Girl, one was already like a Female Tyrannosaurus, and the other even more terrifying with her Body Cultivation. Trying to take advantage of them was tantamount to seeking death, right?
Those guys hadn’t even brushed against the girls’ clothes before they were directly sent flying out.
Once, twice, as the times increased, the people around also realized that the two women were not to be trifled with and no longer dared to harbor thoughts against them.
"Three, Three, please wait a moment!" Just as they were still pushing forward, a man about 30 years old also struggled to squeeze over. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
Chu Hao and his two companions were all taken aback and stopped in their tracks to look at him.
"You three, if you want to follow a True Disciple, just squeezing to the front is useless," the man said.
What are you talking about?
Chu Hao and his companions were puzzled; they were joining Spirit Spring Sect according to an agreement, not intent on being followers of some True Disciple. They had thought this man was someone the Spirit Spring Sect had specially dispatched to guide them, but it seemed they were mistaken.
They naturally ignored him and turned to leave.
"Wait, wait!" The man quickly chased to their front and said, "The price can be discussed; I, Zhang, always conduct business fairly and with integrity, no deceit for young or old."
How did this get connected to business?
Chu Hao frowned and said, "Don’t block the way."
"Look here, young man, it’s not that I say it but if I, Zhang, say a word, I guarantee you won’t be able to enter this mountain gate." Seeing Chu Hao not showing him any good face, the man couldn’t help but show a hint of anger.
Chu Hao couldn’t help but find it funny. It was this man who had taken the initiative to pester them, and now he was angered by their cold response. What kind of logic was this? Did they have an obligation to entertain his senselessness?
"Oh, you seem quite impressive," Chu Hao said since they had already reached Spirit Spring Sect, there was no rush.
"Of course!" The man’s face was full of pride as he stuck out his thumb towards his chest, "My cousin is with Spirit Spring Sect."
So he had connections within the government, but considering he was only in his thirties, how high could his cousin’s Cultivation be to influence the movements of the sect’s disciples?
"Oh, your cousin seems even more impressive," Chu Hao said with a smile. Being able to enter a First Grade sect was in itself an affirmation, whether of strength or talent. As big waves wash away the sand, the unfit disciples would have already been expelled from the sect.
"Hehe, my cousin is a follower of Lord Yue Feng," the man said with immense pride.
What? A follower? Put nicely, a follower, but more directly, isn’t that just an underling or attendant? What was there to be proud of?
"Lord Yue Feng!"
"So, it’s a follower of Lord Yue Feng."
"My god, having the qualifications to follow Lord Yue Feng, this guy is really lucky. If I could follow Lord Yue Feng too, my life would be worth it."
"Simply maddening with envy!"
The surrounding people, hearing the name of Yue Feng, started discussing fervently, full of praise for him.
Chu Hao was taken aback; this Yue Feng seemed to be genuinely amazing and so full of himself.
"Hehe, you couldn’t have not heard of Lord Yue Feng, could you?" Seeing the hint of bewilderment in Chu Hao’s eyes, the man laughed, "Not even knowing who Lord Yue Feng is and you’re here to compete for followers? I don’t know what to say to you."
"Let me tell you, Lord Yue Feng is currently the most outstanding disciple of Spirit Spring Sect, and also the strongest of Cang State’s younger generation!" The man said with full arrogance, as if he himself were Yue Feng.
"Lord Yue Feng represents those with late blooming talent. Nine years ago, he was only ranked 102nd on the Fledgling Dragon List, but five years ago after he became a Warrior, he surged forward, achieving Fourth Tier within just three years and defeating the then number ten on the Fledgling Dragon List."
"Now, Lord Yue Feng has even reached Eighth Tier Warrior, and he could step up to become a War General-level powerhouse at any moment."
Having heard all this, Chu Hao noted silently, approaching the status of War General was indeed formidable, for such a person would be among the top powerhouses even in Tianhe County.
However, the other party was someone who had made it to the Fledgling Dragon List nine years ago and could now be over 30 years old; becoming a Warrior was not surprising. Of course, to leap from newly becoming a Warrior to Eighth Tier in just five years was indeed astounding.
The higher the realm, the slower the speed of cultivation advancement. To become a Warrior by crossing into the Middle Three Realms, and to even ascend eight minor realms in five years is indeed frightening—it’s no wonder that the people around were so shocked upon hearing the name Yue Feng.
Moreover, back then Yue Feng was only ranked 102nd on the Fledgling Dragon List. It seems this ranking hadn’t changed for a long time, but after becoming a Warrior, he took a glamorous turn and easily overthrew even the former number one. The phrase ’a late bloomer’ really matches him perfectly.
In the world of martial arts, some people may not stand out for a long time, but upon reaching a certain stage, they could suddenly exert strength and burst forth with an astonishing speed of advancement that drops jaws.
"Now you know how amazing my cousin is, right?" The man said triumphantly, reaching out to pat Chu Hao’s shoulder, but Chu Hao brushed it off inadvertently, preventing the touch.
He couldn’t help but feel annoyed and ashamed. He had already played the Yue Feng card, so why did Chu Hao still show no sign of reverence? Logically, the other party should have already been grovelling at his feet by now.
"Humph, my cousin is highly valued by Lord Yue Feng, and he also has a deep relationship with other True Disciples. Just a word from my cousin, and there are definitely a few True Disciples who would be willing to take in more followers," the man said, casting a sidelong glance at Chu Hao. However, his gaze lingered more on the pretty faces and soft bosoms of the Barbaric Girl and Fu Xue.
Knowing this, wasn’t he so determined to push his way up here because he was attracted by the looks of the two women?
Chu Hao spoke indifferently, "There’s no need for you to help with this; we’re not here to enlist as followers."
"Haha, don’t tell me you’re here to become official disciples," the man sneered.
"That’s exactly the case," Chu Hao nodded.
What a bluff.
The man snorted and said, "Those words may deceive these two naïve girls beside you. Don’t you know that the Spirit Spring Sect only opens its gates to recruit disciples every five years? And the last time they recruited... was just one year ago."
Having publicly debunked the other’s lie, those beauties should immediately lose their color, right?
He glanced over at the Barbaric Girl and Fu Xue, but to his disappointment, the expressions of the two women remained unchanged, which made him wonder oddly-if this pretty boy knew the Bewitching Soul Technique, otherwise how could he deceive the girls to be so devoted?
"I, Fu Yuan, always love to help others. If you can bring out something precious, I don’t mind sending some favors on your behalf, and ask my cousin to speak to a True Disciple to take you in as a follower," the man brought the topic back.
In fact, this was his reason for being here: to see who looked rich and then approach them, promising that they could become followers of a True Disciple, and in the process, extorting a substantial amount of money—of course, in the form of Star Stones, Spirit Grass, and other martial arts resources.
However, this time he didn’t think Chu Hao and his companions were "fat"; it was because he coveted the beauty of the two girls, harboring unspoken and vile intentions.
He looked at the Barbaric Girl. Although her attire was plain, giving the impression she’d just walked out from deep in the mountains, her whole body exuded a pure aura that made his heart itch.
"Beautiful ladies, if you spend one night with me, I am willing to go all out and use my entire life’s savings to do this favor for you." He couldn’t contain his true intentions any longer and reached out to grab the Barbaric Girl’s hand.
The Barbaric Girl, being clueless about what "spend one night" meant—was this grown man really afraid of sleeping alone at night?—felt provoked when he tried to touch her hand, immediately triggering her ferocity.
Bang, she sent out a punch with explosive force. Bang, bang, bang, bang, Fu Yuan instantly turned into a human cannonball, flying backward, toppling everyone in his path to the ground, instantly creating a cleared space.
Fu Xue couldn’t help but applaud. Being a Female Tyrannosaurus herself, she naturally highly appreciated such behavior.
Yet, the surrounding area was left with only the sound of people drawing breath sharply.
Although the two women had also resorted to aggressive actions earlier, teaching some lecherous men a lesson, those men were would-be followers without any significant background, so beating them up didn’t really matter—as long as they were not killed or maimed, there wouldn’t be any serious repercussions.
But Fu Yuan was different. His cousin was a follower of Yue Feng.
For a moment, the people around Chu Hao and his companions stepped back, treating them as if they were fierce beasts or a raging flood.
"Y-you... you’ve got some nerve, even daring to hit me." Elsewhere, Fu Yuan slowly got up, touching his swollen chin while his gaze burned with vindictive poison.
"You really overpraise yourself. Do you think it takes all three of us to beat you?" Chu Hao couldn’t help but laugh. Even the weakest among them, Fu Xue, was now a Fourth-Tier martial master, and could send a regular Eighth Meridian martial master like him flying with just a flick of her finger.
"You... just you wait, this isn’t over," Fu Yuan spat out a cliché before quickly turning tail to run. He needed to fetch reinforcements—how could he swallow such a huge loss?
"The three of you should take this chance to leave quickly," someone kindly suggested.
"Yes, Fu Yuan’s cousin is a follower of Yue Feng. To be honest, his position is not the slightest bit lower than that of an ordinary True Disciple. You’ve hit his cousin, and you’ve already stirred up big trouble. You should leave quickly," another person advised.
Chu Hao smiled and said, "Thank you all for your kindness, but he’s just a follower after all." (To be continued.
