Chapter 171 - Prince Of The Demon Sect
Chapter 171 - Prince Of The Demon Sect
"Thank you for your appreciation, Sword God. However, I have another mission. Forgive me for not being able to accept your offer."
Zhao Mu rejected him without hesitation.
Zhao Mu had already expected Sword God Qu Liu's offer to recruit him.
Human Emperor's bloodline coupled with the Blazing Sun Saint Body was something that even a Supreme-Being expert could not turn a blind eye to.
Recruiting talents was the interest of all the leaders. Regardless of whether they would be useful to the Sword Immortal Pavilion or not, they would recruit them first. Roping a talent with excellent potential into their own camp was equivalent to weakening the strength of the other camps.
Zhao Mu would definitely do the same if he was in Qu Liu's shoes.
If Zhao Mu did not have the system, he might have really betrayed Empress Qing Yun and joined the Sword Immortal Pavilion.
After all, the Sword Immortal Pavilion was one of the Five Great Sacred Grounds of the human race. The resources that it could provide him would definitely be unimaginable.
Furthermore, with Sword God supporting him, he could cultivate in peace in the Sword Immortal Pavilion, ignoring the matters of the world and quietly growing into an expert of his generation.
However, with the system in his hands, the benefits that the Sword Immortal Pavilion could provide him were not even worth mentioning.
If Zhao Mu stayed in the Saint Prime Devil Sect, he would at least have more freedom and would not be under the jurisdiction of the sect. He would also have a chance to woo the Empress and might even become a Devil Sect Prince one day.
However, if he joined the Sword Immortal Pavilion, there would be less surprises in his future.
Zhao Mu was obviously not the kind of person who could see the end of the road with a single glance. After being reborn, if he lacked some magnificent experiences to decorate his life, wouldn't it be too boring?
Furthermore, he still did not know whether Sword God Qu Liu was a friend or foe.
With his current strength, it might not be a good thing to deal with such an expert who stood at the peak of the continent.
He might not even be aware that he would be eaten until not even his bones were left.
After considering all these factors, rejecting was the wisest choice.
As for whether this would anger Sword God Qu Liu … If Sword God was angered because of this, it would prove Zhao Mu's worries and he would not be able to join the Sword Immortal Pavilion.
Zhao Mu's rejection surprised Qu Liu.
The so-called mission was just an excuse in Sword God's eyes.
However, since he rejected so straightforwardly, there must be a reason why he was unwilling to join the Sword Immortal Pavilion.
Since that was the case, no matter what conditions he promised, it would be useless.
"Fine. Everyone has their own aspirations and there is no way to force them. However, the doors of my Sword Immortal Pavilion will always be open to you. Even if you are unwilling to join the Sword Immortal Pavilion, as long as you want to come, no one will stop you. This is a promise that I make in the name of the Sword God." Qu Liu solemnly vowed.
"It's my honor to be favored by the Sword God," Zhao Mu said with a smile.
Not long after, Zhao Mu walked out of the Luo Fu Sword Palace safely.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
When he came out just now, he had a feeling that things wouldn't go so smoothly.
Perhaps he was thinking too much.
"Little guy, why did you come out so quickly?
What did the Sword God say to you? "Grandmaster Ye Chengming, who was guarding outside, couldn't wait to ask.
"The Sword God invited me to join the Sword Immortal Pavilion, but I rejected him."
"What?"
Ye Chengming was shocked, "Silly, you are silly. Do you know how difficult it is to join the Sword Immortal Pavilion and become an official disciple? Furthermore, the Sword God personally invited you. Such an honor has only happened a few times in the thirty thousand years since the establishment of the Sword Immortal Pavilion. How can you not know the immensity of heaven and earth and actually reject it!"
"My ambition is not here." Zhao Mu's expression was indifferent.
Ye Chengming was speechless for a moment and finally smiled bitterly.
"Kid, you are still too young."
After leaving the Vast Star Holy Land, Zhao Mu bid farewell to Ye Chengming and returned home.
He came back early today but Wu Miaomiao was already waiting outside the courtyard.
"Master, why did the construction of the protective array suddenly stop today? Since you are by Grandmaster Ye's side, do you know some confidential information? Can you tell me a little?"
When Wu Miaomiao saw Zhao Mu, she ran over affectionately and held his arm as they entered the courtyard together.
Zhao Mu knocked on Wu Miaomiao's head and said, "Since you know it's confidential information, don't ask around. We're just guests of the Sword Immortal Pavilion. Just do what we're supposed to do."
Wu Miaomiao pouted and said, "Oh."
"I'm hungry. Go and make something to eat."
Zhao Mu found an excuse to send Wu Miaomiao away. He then entered the house alone and found Tang Qing.
Just as he was about to speak, Zhao Mu suddenly opened his eyes wide.
What did he just see?
The dignified sect leader of the Devil Sect, Empress Qing Yun, a Tribulation Stage expert, was actually doing embroidery!
Looking at her busy figure, Zhao Mu did not know what to say for a moment.
However, the empress had no strength at all. She did not even have the ability to sense anything. She was completely unaware of Zhao Mu's arrival and was still immersed in her own world.
Zhao Mu had an idea. She walked behind Tang Qing with the sound of her footsteps and blew into her ear without warning.
"You're asking for a beating …"
Tang Qing put down the needle and thread and turned around to glare at Zhao Mu.
Zhao Mu chuckled and sat down beside her. He told her about what had happened in the Luo Fu Sword Palace earlier.
Tang Qing's expression changed slightly when she found out that Zhao Mu had already met the Sword God Qu Liu and was even recruited by him.
"Why did you reject such a good opportunity?
Joining the Sword Immortal Pavilion is far more promising than staying in the Saint Prime Devil Sect. "Tang Qing asked.
Zhao Mu looked straight into Tang Qing's beautiful eyes and said, "If I said that I rejected the Sword God because of you, would you be touched?"
Tang Qing did not avoid Zhao Mu's gaze. She also looked at him and said word by word, "I would only think that you're hopelessly stupid."
This was awkward …
The empress was indeed not easy to win over.
Zhao Mu subconsciously looked at the favorability rating.
Eh.
It increased by another two points?
Haha, it seemed like it was effective.
Tang Qing, I didn't expect you to be so arrogant.
"Hehe, so be it if I'm stupid. I'm willing to do it for you."
Zhao Mu became even more aggressive and began to speak without hiding anything.
Tang Qing rolled her eyes at him.
The atmosphere fell into a strange silence.
After a while, Tang Qing suddenly said, "My soul and body have already begun to deeply fuse. In a few days, my cultivation should slowly recover."
Zhao Mu was overjoyed, but immediately felt a little uneasy.
"Empress, you wouldn't do something like getting rid of the donkey after it has outlived its usefulness, right?"
"Scared?"
"How can I not be afraid?" Zhao Mu decisively admitted defeat.
If he were to lower his stance and admit his mistake now, there might still be a chance to turn things around.
He was now very sure that the empress had found out that he had secretly kissed her.
"I'm not as scary as you think, nor am I a heartless person. If you're interested in me, I can give you a chance. As long as you help me save my father, there's no harm in giving you the position of Devil Sect's Prince."
Zhao Mu's eyes widened.
How could there be such a good thing?
