Originally, the reward for first place was the possibility of becoming Xiaoyao Hou's disciple.
It was just a possibility.
But now, Fang Chen had taken first place.
But Demonic Mountain Zun wanted to take him away.
There was silence in the square.
Everyone's eyes were filled with envy.
That was Demonic Mountain Zun, one of the top experts in the Source World.
His reputation was much greater than Xiaoyao Hou's.
The most important thing was.
He had cultivated for countless years and became famous very early.
There were even rumors that he was one of the first to leave the Source World and went to the Sinner Land to kill.
Fang Chen was a little surprised.
He was not in a hurry to answer.
Sure enough, Demonic Mountain Zun was a little anxious.
Fang Chen's potential was too strong. If he had a good teacher to guide him, he would definitely become a top expert in the Source World in the future.
He even had a chance to become the right-hand man of the Demon Devouring Clan Patriarch.
This was a supreme honor.
At that time, as Fang Chen's master, he should be respected by everyone.
"Lin Chen, you don't have to worry. Since I am taking you away, I will definitely teach you well."
Demonic Mountain Zun promised.
"If you are willing, I will take you as my last disciple."
As soon as these words came out.
The entire square was in an uproar.
Countless martial artists exclaimed.
Even the few messengers and stewards were shocked.
Demonic Mountain Zun's last disciple?
This was a great honor.
In the territory of Xiaoyao Manor, there was almost no one in the younger generation who could catch Demonic Mountain Zun's eye.
But now, Demonic Mountain Zun wanted to take this guy as his last disciple.
"Before you, I had taken three disciples."
Demonic Mountain Zun said.
"The first disciple, Saber Saint, died in the Sinner Land."
"The second disciple, Demon Hand, died in the Connate Source World."
"The third disciple, Extinction Dragon, is still missing."
As he spoke, Demonic Mountain Zun's mood was very low.
However, the people in the square were already shocked to the point of no return.
"Oh my god, Saber Saint is actually Demonic Mountain Zun's first disciple?"
"Demon Hand, the one who was angry for a woman and did not hesitate to fall into the Demon Path to save his beloved?"
"Too terrifying."
Everyone thought.
Demonic Mountain Zun had no disciples.
But today, they found out.
Venerated Fiend Mountain's means were much stronger than they had imagined.
These three disciples were all experts whose names shook the entire Origin World.
Especially the eldest disciple, the Sword Saint, who had once killed nine Invincible Saints with a single slash. What a powerful battle record.
Unfortunately, he had mysteriously disappeared.
Now, people finally understood.
It turned out that.
The Sword Saint perished in the Land of the Sinners.
"What a pity."
"If we don't get rid of the sinners, our Devouring Demon Clan won't be at ease."
For a moment, everyone was infuriated.
Lin Chen remained silent.
The Demon Mountain Venerate was waiting for his response.
"Just agree. Do you still need to think about such a good thing?"
"If I were Lin Chen, I would have knelt down and acknowledged him as my master."
"That's right. Out of the three disciples, two of them have fallen and the whereabouts of the last one are unknown. That is to say, if Lin Chen were to acknowledge a master, he would be the only disciple of the Demonic Mountain Reverend."
The butler's heart was in turmoil.
He even sent a message to Duke Xiaoyao.
Unfortunately, the latter was in seclusion, trying to break through to a higher realm. He had no time to be distracted and did not check the message at all.
The emissary who had brought Fang Chen here secretly sent a message to Fang Chen.
"Lin Chen, hurry up and agree."
Everyone's eyes were focused on Fang Chen.
"I... already have a master."
As soon as he said that, the surrounding people were in an uproar.
He actually refused to acknowledge the Demonic Mountain Venerate as his master?
This...
Everyone could not imagine.
Some people hated Lin Chen, while others mocked him for being stupid.
In fact, the reason why Fang Chen refused was that he did not want to acknowledge a Demon Devourer as his master.
In the future, they were destined to meet on the battlefield.
He did not want to leave behind an inner demon.
"In that case, I won't force you."
The Demonic Mountain Venerate restrained his expression and said coldly, "I wish you good luck."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Demonic Mountain Venerate's figure flashed and left directly.
Leaving behind a dumbfounded crowd.
"Cough, cough."
After a long time.
The butler coughed lightly, pulling everyone's thoughts back.
"I announce that this competition is over."
In the end, the first place was awarded to Xiao He.
After all, the latter was the direct descendant of Duke Xiaoyao.
As for Lin Chen, without the Demonic Mountain Venerate as his backer, the butler was naturally fearless.
"Humph."
Xiao He snorted coldly, his face full of mockery.
On the other hand, Lin Chen was very calm, as if everything was within his expectations.
"From today onwards, Lin Chen will be the commander of the Xiaoyao Army."
The butler handed a token to Lin Chen.
The most powerful force of the Xiaoyao Mansion was the Xiaoyao Army.
Countless resources of the Xiaoyao Mansion were provided to the Xiaoyao Army so that they could be of use in times of war.
It was no exaggeration to say that.
The position of commander was second only to Duke Xiaoyao and some of the higher-ups of the Xiao Family in the territory of the Xiaoyao Mansion.
"Congratulations."
The messenger cupped his fists.
After the competition, Lin Chen gave him a lot of surprises.
"Go back and rest. Duke Xiaoyao will summon the top three in three days," the butler said.
Soon, everyone in the square had left.
Before Xiao He left, he came to Fang Chen and provoked him, "The battle between us has just begun."
Fang Chen glanced at him, disapproving.
On the way back.
The messenger reminded him, "Xiao He is vengeful. You suppressed him in the competition and stole the limelight. He has a grudge in his heart, so you have to be careful."
After all, the Xiaoyao Army belonged to the Xiaoyao Mansion.
With Xiao He's influence, it was easy for him to hinder Fang Chen in the Xiaoyao Army.
At that time, it would delay the military.
If Duke Xiaoyao was angry, Lin Chen, as the commander, would definitely be punished.
"Don't worry."
Fang Chen said.
He wouldn't stay in the Xiaoyao Mansion for too long.
After getting the Demon Devouring Bloodline, he would leave.
"Have a good rest. I'll take you to see Duke Xiaoyao in three days."
In the courtyard.
Fang Chen raised his hand, and there was a trace of blood on his fingertip.
This was Xiao He's blood.
Buzz!
Fang Chen activated the power in his body and refined this trace of blood.
After a while.
The blood was successfully refined. Fang Chen clearly felt that the perfect bloodline seemed to have transformed.
"As expected."
Fang Chen was slightly moved.
The Demon Devouring Bloodline was the last condition for the perfect bloodline transformation.
Unfortunately, although Xiao He was a direct descendant of Duke Xiaoyao.
The concentration of the Demon Devouring Bloodline was still not enough.
Fang Chen's eyes flickered.
"I wonder if the concentration of Duke Xiaoyao's bloodline is enough?"
Then, he shook his head.
He couldn't bite off more than he could chew for the time being.
The plan had to succeed in one go. Once it failed, the Chaotic Realm would face a disaster of destruction.
Therefore, he was not in a hurry.
He could still wait.
He had to wait for the best time to act.
"The most important thing now is to improve my cultivation."
Fang Chen muttered to himself.
This body was too weak. He had to practice what he had learned in his previous life.
At least, he had to have the power to fight against a Saint.
It was a magnificent mansion.
Xiao He was angry.
"Young Master, we have investigated Lin Chen's information."
"You mean?
Lin Chen is an itinerant cultivator in the Thousand Autumns City. He used to be ordinary, but after the nine years of snow, his strength skyrocketed? "Xiao He frowned.
"Yes, so I suspect that he is related to the heaven and earth phenomenon," the servant said.
"Haha."
Xiao He smiled sinisterly.
