Chapter 396 - Three Conditions Jiang Hao's Decision

Having acquired Jiang Hao's method for training martial cultivators, Chen Qi could already envision the outcome.

In no time, the power of his White Tiger Hall surged, eclipsing the Black Tortoise and Vermilion Bird, and leapt to become the premier hall!

The more Chen Qi pondered, the more his excitement grew!

Then, as he gazed at Jiang Hao, inspiration struck and he voiced a third request.

“Third…”

But before he could finish, a dangerous gleam sparked in Jiang Hao's eyes.

“Smack!”

Jiang Hao's palm thundered down on the table beside him.

“Crack!”

With that sound, the old pearwood table shattered, its pieces scattering across the floor.

“Chen Qi, haven't you heard the saying, ‘once and twice are enough, thrice is too much'?”

Jiang Hao's voice was icy.

Chen Qi snapped out of his reverie, meeting Jiang Hao's menacing gaze and quickly offered a smiling explanation.

“Mr. Jiang, hear me out. This third condition is mutually advantageous.”

“Thirdly, I'd like to extend an invitation for Mr. Jiang to serve as the Great Elder of our White Tiger Hall!”

“However, if Mr. Jiang declines, no matter. As long as you adhere to the first two conditions, I will still release him!”

“Still, I hope Mr. Jiang will give my proposal some thought. After all, it's in both our interests!”

“The might of the Nether King's Hall is something I believe Mr. Jiang is well aware of!”

Chen Qi laid out his terms swiftly!

Jiang Hao listened, then fixed his gaze on Chen Qi, who sat patiently, quietly awaiting Jiang Hao's response.

He was confident Jiang Hao would consent. Though currently adversaries, he knew such relationships could evolve!

He was convinced that with enough incentive, even enemies could become allies!

After a prolonged silence, Jiang Hao finally spoke up.

“Do you really think I'd agree?”

Chen Qi, believing he'd detected a hint of interest in Jiang Hao, allowed himself a triumphant grin.

“I'm sure Mr. Jiang will agree!”

“Even though we're at odds now, such dynamics are not set in stone.”

Jiang Hao observed Chen Qi's confident demeanor and let out an enigmatic smile.

“If that's the case, I'll grant your wish!”

Chen Qi's joy was palpable.

He had assumed Jiang Hao's capabilities were on par with his own, but it was only upon meeting him that he truly accepted the Fifth Elder's assessment.

Jiang Hao's power was immeasurable!

And such an individual should never be made into an enemy!

Hence, the necessity for a third condition!

Otherwise, even if Jiang Hao's abilities matched his own, he wouldn't fear him—especially since he had the support of nine great elders today!

Together, their combined might would surely be enough to capture Jiang Hao!

Jiang Hao had slain several members of the White Tiger Hall. So, even if Jiang Hao accepted the first two conditions, he would still need to eliminate Jiang Hao to cement his authority!

But now, Jiang Hao's power had surpassed his predictions, necessitating a different approach!

Chen Qi rose to his feet, offering a handshake to Jiang Hao with a warm smile.

“Haha…”

“With Elder Jiang's addition, our White Tiger Hall truly gains strength akin to a tiger sprouting wings!”

Jiang Hao didn't hesitate, seemingly sealing the deal with Chen Qi in earnest!

At this, Chen Qi's men wore looks of elation, offering their congratulations.

“Congratulations to Elder Jiang on your new affiliation!”

“Liu has the honor of meeting Elder Jiang!”

……

Indeed, Jiang Hao's prowess had surpassed everyone's estimates, and none wished to make an enemy of such a man!

Yet, in that moment, only the Fifth Elder, who had truly grasped the extent of Jiang Hao's formidable strength, glanced at Jiang Hao with a flicker of doubt.

Jiang Hao acknowledged each greeting in turn. Then, he inquired,

“Master Chen, where is my father?”
