"Of course!" First Elder Hu Tian answered with certainty. "I won't take back my words so easily!"
Chen Qiang nodded and said, "Then this junior can rest assured."
"But, Chen Qiang, why don't you want to join us?" The Great Elder asked in confusion.
"Chen Qiang, you should know that no one on the continent dares to provoke us!
Even people like Liu Qing from Shouyang Mountain have to give us face.
I believe you should also know that almost everyone in the human race knows that you are my disciple.
Just based on this identity, those fellows in the Human Elder Bureau won't dare to touch you!
Also, don't you like Wei Xuande's daughter?
As long as you join us openly, this old man will make the decision and facilitate a good thing between you and that girl! "
"Hehe."
Chen Qiang laughed.
First Elder Hu Tian was right.
If it weren't for First Elder Hu Tian's identity, Chen Qiang wouldn't have been able to leave Shouyang Mountain safely. Moreover, Lin Feng wouldn't have let Zheng Cheng and the other ability users go without permission from Luo Nan's General's Mansion.
As for the matter between him and Light Dust, Chen Qiang knew that even with First Elder Hu Tian's guarantee and First Elder Liu Qing's agreement, Light Dust wouldn't agree!
In Dongyue Shogunate, Chen Qiang had crippled Wei Xuande's cultivation in front of Light Dust. Light Dust's cold gaze when she left was enough to prove everything!
"Thank you for your kind intentions, senior!"
Chen Qiang thanked him with a bow. "Senior, please rest assured that this junior will not use your name to parade around in the future. As for the matter between this junior and Light Dust, you don't have to worry about it."
First Elder Hu Tian had lived for nearly two hundred years. How could he not understand the meaning behind Chen Qiang's words?
"Can you tell me why?" First Elder Hu Tian asked calmly. "Don't worry, I won't force you.
Since you don't want to join Gray Level, this old man will respect your choice.
I just don't understand.
With the strength of my Grayscale, I believe that there is no one among the three forces that wouldn't want to join us. Why do you keep rejecting me? "
"Haha," Chen Qiang sneered. "I've seen the power of Greyscale with my own eyes, and I've never doubted it.
It's a pity that our ideals are different, and I can't tolerate it.
My father, Chen Tianwei, was also a member of the Grayscale Society. He died in vain while investigating the Direbeasts.
However, Grayscale abides by an ancient tradition. He can't even seek justice for my father!
So what if such a force was powerful?
He knew where his enemy was, but he couldn't take revenge; he knew it was unfair, but he couldn't uphold justice!
This junior finds it hard to imagine such a force. Where is your so-called external threat?
If even the life of the mainland itself is facing extinction, even if you protect the mainland, what's the point?! "
Chen Qiang's words were very heavy, but unexpectedly, Yang Du and the other elders didn't refute him. Instead, they looked at First Elder Hu Tian at the same time.
Zhang Yuan and the others stood beside Chen Qiang after he finished speaking.
"Captain, since you don't want to join Gray Level, then take us brothers with you and leave!"
"No!"
Chen Qiang shook his head. "Zhang Yuan, if you leave Gray Level, you will face countless dangers. I'm afraid that even the elders of Mount Shouyang won't let our team go easily.
I don't want to join Gray Level because I want to investigate the cause of my father's death and find the murderer!
As long as you are safe, I won't have any worries. "
Zhang Yuan wanted to say something, but Chen Qiang stopped him.
"There's no need to discuss this matter anymore. It's settled. Yan Xue, let's go! "
Yan Xue didn't want to stay in Gray Level, Chen Qiang could see that.
Moreover, he needed Yan Xue's help to investigate the mutant elders of Mount Yandang.
"Wait!"
Chen Qiang had just taken a step when he was stopped by First Elder Hu Tian.
Sighing helplessly, First Elder Hu Tian came in front of Chen Qiang.
"Chen Qiang, you should know that we have invited you to join Gray Level many times because you once went into the small space above the Heaven Stairway in the Emperor Battle Space.
Gray Level was established because of the three Combat Emperors nearly five hundred years ago.
Grayscale's mission was to protect the mainland from the invasion of the otherworldly races.
This is the mission given to Gray Level by the three Combat Emperors, and this cannot be changed.
However, in these four hundred years, other than you, no one else has entered the small space and understood the true secret of the Emperor Battle Space.
You, Chen Qiang, are the first to understand this secret.
Therefore, I am willing to make a concession and help you fulfill your wish. "
First Elder Hu Tian was willing to make a concession?
This was something that Yang Du and the other elders did not expect.
In Gray Level, First Elder Hu Tian had always been a man of his word, and Gray Level was publicly recognized as the number one power in the mainland!
As far as they knew, Great Elder Hu Tian had never admitted defeat in front of anyone before!
However, this time, in order to keep Chen Qiang who had grasped the secret of the Emperor Battle Space, and in order to protect the mainland, First Elder Hu Tian made a concession.
Previously, Chen Qiang had seen through First Elder Hu Tian's stubbornness and inflexibility, which was why he had spoken so harshly. However, he did not expect First Elder Hu Tian to be so flexible for the sake of his mission!
What should he do?
He was very clear about First Elder Hu Tian's intention to keep him here!
However, the secret of the Emperor Battle Space —
He really did not know!
"Senior, I won't hide it from you. Junior's knowledge of the Emperor Battle Space is limited, and I have not discovered any secrets!"
At this time, Chen Qiang could only tell the truth.
On the Emperor Battle Space's Sky Stairway, before he could discover anything, he was blasted out by the three Combat Emperors.
Even now, he still couldn't figure out what secrets were hidden in that place!
"No, you know!"
First Elder Hu Tian said with certainty.
"Chen Qiang, do you still remember the Dragon Abyss Trench that you went to? There, you met the tentacle monster? "
Chen Qiang nodded.
Needless to say, Chen Tianwei must have told First Elder Hu Tian about this.
However, what did this have to do with the Emperor Battle Space?
If there was a connection, it would be the black bones that he had collected in the Emperor Battle Space. Just like the tentacle monster in the Dragon Abyss Trench, there were demonic blood balls.
"Chen Qiang, previously, King Tianlie had reported that you had discovered a strange creature in the Dragon Abyss Trench. It was the tentacle monster.
After understanding the characteristics of the tentacle monster in detail, I sent a large number of people to exterminate all the tentacle monsters in the Dragon Abyss Trench.
To be honest, the strange creatures that appeared in the Dragon Abyss Trench did not attract the attention of Greyscale.
This time, if not for King Tianlie's timely response, we might have faced a greater crisis.
This is because the tentacle monster is actually the strange creature that Greyscale has been guarding against!
You being able to grasp the characteristics of the tentacle monster as a Spirit Blood General must have something to do with your discovery in the Emperor Battle Space, right? "
Hearing this, Chen Qiang understood a little. He took out a black bone from his ring and handed it to First Elder Hu Tian. "Senior, this is what I brought out from the Emperor Battle Space. The reason why I know the characteristics of the tentacle monster is because both of them contain demonic blood balls!"
First Elder Hu Tian did not take the black bone and only stared at it.
The other Elders in the hall also looked at the black bone in Chen Qiang's hand.
"Chen Qiang, keep it."
First Elder Hu Tian said with a solemn expression, "Chen Qiang, I believe you should have heard that the cultivators of this continent can no longer enter the Emperor Battle Space after their cultivation has reached the Quasi-Battle Monarch realm.
This is because the three Battle Monarch seniors specially set it up to prevent people with bad intentions.
That day, after the three great factions left the Mount Everest, Second Elder and Third Elder personally saw you leave the Emperor Battle Space alone.
Although I don't know how you came out alone, it's very clear that the restrictions in the Emperor Battle Space do not apply to you. "
Chen Qiang suddenly remembered that when he left the Emperor Battle Space that day, he kept feeling that someone was following him. Now, it seemed that it should be the Second Elder and Third Elder.
"Chen Qiang, you and I are both living beings of this continent. Could it be that you are just going to watch the strange creatures from the outside invade and destroy our home?
Therefore, I sincerely invite you to join the Grey Scale Society and protect this home with us. "
First Elder Hu Tian's words were sincere and filled with righteousness. Even Zhang Yuan and the others looked at Chen Qiang expectantly.
Unexpectedly, Chen Qiang laughed, "Even if the strange creatures invade, what does it have to do with me?
Now that the beasts are causing trouble, there is no need to wait for the strange creatures to invade. Who knows, the human race and the strange beasts might soon be wiped out!
If I can't even avenge my father, I, Chen Qiang, am not in the mood or obligation to be some savior! "
Chen Qiang's thoughts were very simple. Between his father's revenge and the greater good of the human race, he chose the former.
This was not surprising.
Although his relationship with Chen Tianwei was not as deep as he thought it would be.
However, if it wasn't for Chen Tianwei, he would have died long ago.
If it wasn't for Chen Tianwei, he wouldn't have grasped the Battle Intent and wouldn't have been able to fight against Lin Hai Wang and the other ability users.
Moreover, after Chen Tianwei's death, Chen Qiang had absorbed his cultivation, allowing his Chaos Bloodline to reach the Intermediate Level and break through to the Quasi-Battle Monarch realm!
Kindness must be repaid with kindness, and hatred must be avenged.
It was that simple!
As for the greater good of the human race and protecting the continent, he would leave it to these old antiques to worry about!
Seeing Chen Qiang striding out, First Elder Hu Tian spoke again, "Chen Qiang, stop. I am willing to make a deal with you!"
"Hm?"
Chen Qiang stopped and looked at First Elder Hu Tian quietly without saying anything.
Seeing Chen Qiang's playful expression, First Elder Hu Tian rolled his eyes and said, "Kid, are you sure that I will lower my head?
After all, you are the only one that has entered the small space above the Heaven Stairway in the Emperor Battle Space. I have no choice but to cooperate with you, right? "
Chen Qiang smiled and did not deny or admit it. He waited for First Elder Hu Tian to continue.
"Hmph! From what I see, if the origin of the beasts did not come from Yandang Mountain's ability user elder council, I believe that you would not have come to me so quickly and would have gone straight to find your enemy!
Fine!
You should know what kind of place Yandang Mountain's ability user elder council is.
If the people there know of your identity, forget about revenge, you might not even be able to survive!
In the entire continent, other than me, Grayscale, no one else can enter Yandang Mountain.
How about this, if you agree to join Grayscale and help us protect the continent and uncover the true secret of the Emperor Battle Space, I will also agree to help you get rid of the person who killed King Tianlie in Yandang Mountain! "
As expected of an old man!
Chen Qiang's intentions were seen through by First Elder Hu Tian.
First Elder Hu Tian had repeatedly invited Chen Qiang to join Grayscale because Chen Qiang was the person closest to the secret of the Emperor Battle Space.
It was also because of this that Chen Qiang came here openly and used the power of Grayscale to investigate the cause of Chen Tianwei's death.
If he relied on his own strength, even with Yan Xue's help, it would be difficult to find the truth.
Of course, if this matter was brought up by Chen Qiang, the effect would be greatly reduced.
Now that First Elder Hu Tian had brought up this matter, it was exactly what Chen Qiang wanted!
Not only would he be able to borrow the power of Grayscale, he would also be able to get all the members of the Tianwei Generals to join Grayscale!
This way, he would no longer have to worry about the safety of Zhang Yuan and the others.
Chen Qiang's expression didn't change much when First Elder Hu Tian took the initiative to break this layer of paper, but he was overjoyed in his heart.
"Senior, I will take revenge for my father. You just need to help me find out the identity of my enemy."
"Deal!"
First Elder Hu Tian finally let out a long breath and pulled Chen Qiang over. "If you want to join Grayscale, there needs to be a formality. Come with me."
On the main seat in the main hall, First Elder Hu Tian lightly patted the armrest next to his seat. A hidden door suddenly opened, revealing a huge plaza.
The entire plaza was ten square kilometers in size. There were thousands of powerful cultivators sitting or lying down in the plaza, all of them cultivating.
Hearing the door open, all the cultivators opened their eyes at the same time and looked at First Elder Hu Tian.
"Greetings, First Elder!"
The thousands of cultivators all bowed respectfully and greeted him in unison.
"It just so happens that Grayscale has a new batch of people joining us today. Come and be witnesses."
Once First Elder Hu Tian finished speaking, the thousands of cultivators all looked at Chen Qiang and the other 14 people behind him.
Grayscale's recruitment of disciples had always been strict.
It was rare to see more than a dozen people being recruited at once.
However, many of them had seen Chen Qiang and Yan Xue at Mount Shouyang before and recognized them immediately. Naturally, they also understood First Elder's intention.
The thousands of cultivators lined up on both sides. Chen Qiang and the others walked toward the center of the plaza under First Elder Hu Tian's lead.
"Hmm?"
Seeing that they were about to reach the center of the plaza, Chen Qiang was shocked when he probed with his mind power.
