It was me who was accepted as a disciple.

Zhong Qing and Netherworld Monarch of Hellfire were currently traversing a large mountain.

The mountain was covered in red leaves.

A gentle breeze blew, and ancient trees in the mountains swayed gracefully.

A clear river flowed from south to west, from top to bottom, making a clear, tinkling sound as it flowed into the distance.

The two walked leisurely along the riverbank.

Zhong Qing looked at the mountains full of red maple leaves, felt the gentle breeze, sipped his wine, and sensed the aura of nature, his heart finally calming down completely.

He admitted that he had almost been somewhat broken by this future Disciple earlier!

One could only say that the two of them were not yet fated.

Fate, this thing, was the most wonderful, and could not be forced.

Just as Zhong Qing's thoughts drifted!

In the distant sky, a streak of light was rapidly flying over.

"My precious Disciple, your master has arrived!"

A thunder-like voice came from afar, exploding throughout the entire mountain range.

It startled the fierce beasts in the mountains, causing them to flee in disarray, and terrified the birds, making them scatter and run for their lives!

Zhong Qing's eyes narrowed slightly.

He was slightly surprised; this was actually a Three Tribulation Great Emperor expert.

"Is this one also here to find a Disciple?"

Looking at the other party's hurried appearance, Zhong Qing couldn't help but think of himself, truly pitying the hearts of masters everywhere!

He had traveled from the lower realm, crossing many domains, searching for a Disciple, even searching from the lower realm to the upper realm.

However, Zhong Qing quickly realized that things were somewhat different from what he had imagined.

Behind that middle-aged man, more than a dozen figures followed.

Those people also had extraordinary cultivation.

There were ordinary Great Emperors, One Tribulation Great Emperors, and also Two Tribulation Great Emperors!

These were all Great Emperor experts.

"Crimson Luan, old scoundrel, don't talk nonsense! This is clearly my Disciple, how did he become your precious Disciple?"

"If you want to snatch my Disciple, step over my dead body first!"

"Ridiculous, how did he become your Disciple? I was clearly the first to discover him, which means I have a master-Disciple edge with him."

"Just because you discovered him first, he's yours? You've seen the world, is the world yours? How absurd, I don't even know what you're talking about."

...

A group of dark figures flew across the sky, truly a scene of passionate excitement.

These were none other than the Sect Leader of Liuguang Sect, and a group of Elders and high-ranking officials!

They could be described as arguing all the way as they flew.

They hadn't even seen the Disciple's figure yet, but they were already arguing incessantly over the matter of status.

And when they saw the main person, everyone's gazes became even more fervent, as if they could melt a person, and they could no longer maintain their composure.

As streaks of light flashed by, soon, led by Sect Leader Chi Luan of Liuguang Sect, First Elder Great Elder Chen Qing, Third Elder Mu Changchun, and other high-ranking officials of Liuguang Sect arrived one after another beside Zhong Qing.

This made Zhong Qing's eyes narrow slightly.

Netherworld Monarch of Hellfire, on the other hand, secretly became vigilant.

"Alright, alright, put away your expressions!"

Sect Leader Chi Luan of Liuguang Sect glared at the high-ranking officials of the sect behind him and reprimanded, "Such a rare talent, aren't you afraid of scaring him?"

"If he suffers even a little psychological trauma, it's not just a loss for our Liuguang Sect, but also for the entire cultivation world. Can you bear this karmic responsibility?"

As these words came out, everyone realized the impropriety!

The future precious Disciple was only at the Quasi-Emperor realm, and with so many Great Emperors present, they shouldn't scare him.

Immediately, they all retracted the greedy expressions on their faces, but their gazes remained fervent.

Seeing this, Crimson Luan nodded with slight satisfaction.

He then turned to look at Zhong Qing.

"Little brother, let me introduce myself first. I am Sect Leader Chi Luan of Liuguang Sect, a Three Tribulation Great Emperor cultivator."

"May I know your name, little brother?"

"Do you have a master?"

As these words came out, First Elder Great Elder Chen Qing and all the other high-ranking officials of Liuguang Sect stretched their necks.

Zhong Qing's expression was a bit strange.

But he could also see that this group of people bore him no ill will.

After pondering for a moment, he said indifferently, "Zhong Qing!"

"I already have a master!"

In Zhong Qing's mind, he would only ever have one master in his life, and that was Daoist Nai.

This answer clearly caused the expressions of the Liuguang Sect members to dim!

Only Crimson Luan said calmly, "May I ask who your master is, little brother?"

"I have no other intentions, I just simply want to make friends with him!"

Zhong Qing looked at the other party's face, which practically screamed, 'I want to take you as my Disciple,' and his heart felt quite complex.

Just a moment ago!

He had empathized a little with the other party, pitying the hearts of masters everywhere.

The next moment, the Disciple the other party wanted to take was actually himself.

This was a bit messed up!

What made him even more speechless was that he had already said he had a master, but the other party clearly had not given up!

"Apologies, my master has passed away!"

Sect Leader Chi Luan's expression immediately brightened upon hearing this.

When he first heard Zhong Qing say he had a master, he secretly thought it was bad, but if he had passed away, that would be great.

However, he quickly realized his impropriety.

Someone said their master was gone, and his current expression seemed a bit impolite!

He could only forcefully suppress the inappropriate expression on his face.

But Zhong Qing looked at his mouth, which he struggled to keep from curving upwards, and felt utterly speechless.

At this moment, Crimson Luan spoke again, "Little brother Zhong, we have no other intentions in coming here!"

As he spoke, he rubbed his hands, saying with a sincere expression, "I wonder, little brother, if you would mind having an additional master?"

Heaven help him, as a Three Tribulation Great Emperor expert, Crimson Luan had experienced countless storms in his life.

But at this moment, facing Zhong Qing, he was incredibly nervous.

His face even showed a hint of humble pleading and flattery.

This scene made Netherworld Monarch of Hellfire's mouth twitch uncontrollably.

What level of strength was his master at? Even Great Emperor experts were only fit to be nominal Disciples.

He, a Two Tribulation Great Emperor, wasn't even qualified to be a Disciple, and that was the best proof.

Now, a sect that wasn't particularly large actually wanted to take his master as a Disciple; one could only say that these people truly dared to dream!

Zhong Qing's heart was indeed somewhat complex at this moment.

He didn't know why, but on the other party, he vaguely saw a few shadows of himself.

However, some things could not be agreed to just because there were a few shadows.

He immediately said, "Apologies, I have no intention of taking on a master!"

These words made everyone anxious.

"Little brother, are you really not considering it? Our Liuguang Sect has fourteen Great Emperor experts and a long history of several million years. Within a radius of tens of thousands of miles, we can be considered an undisputed overlord-level existence."

"If you join Liuguang Sect, all the sect's resources and cultivation techniques will be entirely at your disposal!"

Crimson Luan said anxiously.

He offered a series of conditions.

However, Zhong Qing still shook his head.

"Apologies, I don't need them!"

"If there's nothing else, let's part ways here!"

"Let's go."

He motioned to Netherworld Monarch of Hellfire, walked directly past the crowd, transformed into a streak of light, and departed!

Leaving behind the stunned crowd, somewhat at a loss.

"Sect Leader, are you just letting him go?"

"This is an unparalleled monstrous immortal talent!"

First Elder Liu Qing said anxiously.

"What's the rush?"

Sect Leader Chi Luan glared fiercely at everyone and said, "If it weren't for you all swarming over like this and scaring my precious Disciple, would he be so indifferent to the conditions I offered?"

"Sect Leader, now is not the time to think about who will be his master. Let's first figure out how to get him to join Liuguang Sect!"

"As for the rest, everything can be discussed later!"

An Elder was so anxious he was fuming!

"Don't worry, do you think I became Sect Leader merely because my strength is higher than yours?"

"I already have a plan for this!"
