Chapter 338
The black-robed old man who suddenly appeared was none other than the great elder of the Netherworld Holy Land, Old Man Jiuyou.
He was lying down in the Netherworld Holy Land, but he was almost sent away by his beloved disciple. He was immediately scared and broke into a cold sweat.
Fearing that Ji Luoyao would do something to implicate him, he immediately rushed over at the fastest speed.
From the Netherworld Holy Land to Shenliu City, there are several Dao domains between the two places.
Even with his cultivation strength, it was exhausting to rush over in such a short time.
If it weren't for the help of several teleportation arrays in the middle, it would not even be possible to be so fast.
After rushing over, he finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Jiang Hao was safe and sound.
In fact, he didn't care whether Jiang Hao died or not.
What he was really afraid of was that he would be implicated, inexplicably attacked by the destiny of heaven and earth, and then buried with Jiang Hao, that would be the real death.
After all, he has worked hard for so many years and finally achieved success, but now he is far from living enough.
"Grand Elder of the Netherworld Holy Land?"
When everyone heard the old man Jiuyou introduce himself, they couldn't help but take a breath, and the shock and panic in their hearts instantly overflowed.
Not to mention others, even the Tianhe Holy Emperor who was standing aside and was arrogant just now was also trembling at this moment, and didn't even dare to breathe.
Relying on the prestige of his brother, he usually showed off his power and took bribes. As long as he liked something, he would do everything possible to get it, without any scruples.
But he was still very clear about who he could offend and who he couldn't offend. For example, the Grand Elder of the Netherworld Holy Land was undoubtedly someone he couldn't offend.
So he didn't have any arrogant attitude at the moment, but shrank his head like a quail, trying his best to reduce his presence, as if he was afraid of the attention of the old man Jiuyou.
In fact, Old Man Jiuyou didn't even look at other people.
With his current level of cultivation, he didn't care about ordinary Saint Emperors.
Only Saint Emperors like the Ji family ancestor who had the hope of further advancement could barely enter his eyes.
In addition, there were geniuses like Jiang Hao who successfully made it to the Hidden Dragon List, who were worthy of his special attention.
"Young man, forgive others when you can. In the Ancient Holy Realm, you can't just rush forward to get ahead, but you have to rely on relationships and background... Even if you have the most evil talent, it's just talent after all. If you can't grow up smoothly, everything is just a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water... You are a smart person, I think you should understand what I mean?"
Old Man Jiuyou said lightly.
Jiang Hao's heart sank slightly, not only because Old Man Jiuyou's cultivation strength was far superior to his, but also because the Netherworld Holy Land was indeed a behemoth.
In the eyes of many people in Dongzang Daoyu, the two major forces, Dongzang Dynasty and Ji Clan, are two giants.
But in fact, the Netherworld Holy Land is the real giant.
Even if you look at the entire Ancient Holy World, they are all giant-level existences.
If limited to a certain Daoyu, forces like Dongzang Dynasty and Ji Clan can indeed dominate one side.
But if you look at the Ancient Holy World, only the Holy Land-level forces like the Netherworld Holy Land are the real overlords.
Facing a terrifying strong man of the level of Elder Jiuyou, Jiang Hao naturally did not dare to take it lightly. He tried his best to calm himself down, and then asked in a humble manner: "Then I wonder what the senior means?"
"Ordinary people who want to join the Netherworld Holy Land need to pass many tests, but you are different. Your performance in the Hidden Dragon List is enough to prove yourself, so... Now as long as you nod, I can personally guarantee you and allow you to join my Netherworld Holy Land!" Elder Jiuyou said directly.
For a top-level genius like Jiang Hao, no matter which force it is, the first thought is definitely to recruit him for their own use.
After all, Jiang Hao and the Netherworld Holy Land have no grudges in the past or the present, so he can be included in their ranks.
As for the feud between Jiang Hao and Ji Luoyao and even the Ji family, what does it have to do with their Netherworld Holy Land?
"The Netherworld Holy Land is one of the eight holy lands, and it has been passed down for countless years. Its strength and depth are far beyond your imagination. As long as you are willing to join the Netherworld Holy Land, I can guarantee that you will become the Holy Son of the Netherworld Holy Land. How about it?"
Old Man Jiuyou quickly made another promise.
But Jiang Hao was not dazzled by the big cake drawn by Old Man Jiuyou.
The strength of the Netherworld Holy Land is indeed very strong, and the identity of the Netherworld Holy Son is indeed extraordinary.
But there is an old saying that there is no free lunch in the world.
How many benefits you enjoy, how many obligations you must bear.
Once you join the Netherworld Holy Land, I am afraid that he will be helpless from now on.
Do you really think that those welfare benefitsIs it a free enjoyment?
Moreover, in the eyes of outsiders, the status of the Son of the Netherworld is indeed noble, but in fact, in the eyes of the real high-level officials of the Netherworld Holy Land, the so-called Son of the Netherworld is at best a high-level worker.
No matter what power it is, its essence is to serve the superiors.
This is also true for the Great Xia Empire built by Jiang Hao.
Of course, if Jiang Hao lacks resources, lacks skills, or lacks something else, joining the Netherworld Holy Land is indeed a good choice. With the strength of the Netherworld Holy Land, it is enough to provide him with all the support and let him grow up smoothly.
But the problem is that with the system in hand, he has nothing to lack. He only needs to lie down and he can gain everything.
In this case, why should he join the Netherworld Holy Land to work for others?
So the promise of the old man Jiuyou is really not very attractive to Jiang Hao.
"Senior, can you let me think about it for a while?"
Jiang Hao is not a fool, so he will not reject Elder Jiuyou directly, but plans to delay for a while.
If he delays for a while, maybe he will break through.
And once he succeeds in breaking through, some things will become very different.
"Consider it for a while?"
At Jiang Hao's answer, Elder Jiuyou frowned slightly, and was naturally not satisfied.
He felt that he was quite sincere in offering such a condition.
After all, the Son of the Netherworld Holy Land is not someone who can be just anyone.
Like Ji Luoyao, if she did not have the Taiyin Holy Body, which happened to be suitable for their Netherworld Holy Land, and broke through the Saint Emperor Realm in a short time, and he, the Great Elder, supported her behind the scenes, she would not have been able to successfully become the Netherworld Saintess.
Although Jiang Hao successfully climbed onto the Hidden Dragon List, he was far from being comparable to ordinary geniuses, but to be honest, it was just that simple.
In history, there were also many people who successfully climbed onto the Hidden Dragon List, but in the end they were just like everyone else.
There are even more people who successfully made it to the Hidden Dragon Ranking, but died in the end.
After all, only a few people have grown up successfully.
But since Jiang Hao said so, Elder Jiuyou did not force him anymore.
After all, a forced melon is not sweet.
Moreover, the Netherworld Holy Land has countless geniuses and strong people, so it is not so urgent for Jiang Hao to join.
"Well, you can think about it for a while."
Elder Jiuyou nodded expressionlessly.
Then he looked at Shenliu City not far away, and asked casually: "Before that, take your people away first."
Jiang Hao was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but said: "Senior, as a master of the Netherworld Holy Land, why do you have to interfere in the grievances and conflicts in our Dongzang Daoyu?"
Old Man Jiuyou glanced at him, and then said meaningfully: "If you join the Netherworld Holy Land, you are one of us, of course I won't interfere, but you haven't made a decision yet, don't worry, wait until you make a decision..."
Hearing this, Jiang Hao frowned immediately. He wanted to fool the other party for a while, but he didn't expect that this old guy was not a good person either, and actually waited for him here.
"Why, don't you want to give me this face?"
Seeing that Jiang Hao didn't respond for a long time, Old Man Jiuyou immediately showed his unkindness.
Jiang Hao took a deep breath, then raised his head and slowly said: "If it's this face, then I'm sorry, I'm afraid I really can't give it!"
