181: Recruiting the Giant Ape Demon Emperor as a Guardian Beast

Inside the main hall.

Elder Zhao Da dragged the Giant Ape Demon Emperor to the center of the hall, then bowed to Jiang Chen again and reported, "Reporting to This Sect Master, this is the Demon Emperor from the Demon Kingdom. It suddenly appeared in the Southern Domain and was captured alive by This Subordinate and others."

After Elder Zhao Da finished speaking, seeing that the Giant Ape Demon Emperor was still standing, he immediately kicked it to its knees and angrily shouted, "How audacious! You dare not kneel and kowtow before Sect Master?"

The Giant Ape Demon Emperor was kicked to its knees on the ground, and timidly cried out, "H-Humans, if you want to kill me, then kill me. Why must you humiliate This Emperor so?"

After speaking, the Giant Ape Demon Emperor looked in horror at Jiang Chen on the throne and Liu Shu who was pouring tea for Jiang Chen beside him.

Because it discovered that both Jiang Chen and Liu Shu were Peak Great Emperors.

This mysterious sect actually had so many Great Emperors; it was truly terrifying.

"Presumptuous! How dare you shout in front of Sect Master!!"

Seeing that the Giant Ape Demon Emperor was still restless even on its knees, Elder Zhao Da stretched out his foot, intending to kick its mouth a few times.

"Stop that."

Seeing Elder Zhao Da's foot already reaching the Giant Ape Demon Emperor's mouth, Jiang Chen spoke to stop him.

Since Elder Zhao Da had brought this Demon Emperor back, he definitely intended to make use of it first.

After all, a Peak Great Emperor could add a significant amount of strength to the Qingtian Sect.

Elder Zhao Da's action was clearly a bit impolite. Even if he wanted to kick it, he should only do so if he couldn't subdue it first.

"Yes, Sect Master!" Hearing Jiang Chen speak, Elder Zhao Da lowered his foot and stood respectfully to the side.

Jiang Chen glanced at the kneeling Giant Ape Demon Emperor, then asked the System.

"System, if I recruit it into the Qingtian Sect, will there be an epic treasure chest reward?"

When the System activated the strong practitioner recruitment template, it didn't specify the method of recruiting strong practitioners.

If this kind of 'kidnapped' recruitment counted, then he would have found a way to generate treasures.

[Ding, recruiting strong practitioners, like recruiting Subordinate forces, requires the other party to voluntarily have this intention. The Host directly binding people here does not count.]

The System's explanation sounded in Jiang Chen's ear.

"Heh, I knew you were stingy." Hearing the System's reply, Jiang Chen sneered.

He hadn't held much hope anyway. If even kidnapped individuals could earn treasure chests, then all the Great Emperors in this world would not dare to leave their homes.

After cursing the System's ancestors a hundred times.

Jiang Chen looked at the Giant Ape Demon Emperor kneeling on the ground with a smile and said, "Little monkey, are you interested in becoming a mountain guardian beast for my Qingtian Sect? If you are willing, I can spare your life."

Since there was no treasure chest, he could only make this Demon Emperor a mountain guardian beast, responsible for guarding the Qingtian Sect's main gate from now on.

Of course, if this Demon Emperor disagreed, then he would simply kill it and let the Qingtian Sect disciples improve their meals.

"Qingtian Sect?"

Hearing Jiang Chen say that this place was called Qingtian Sect, the Giant Ape Demon Emperor's expression froze.

It knew all the sects with Great Emperors in the Central Plains of the Canglan Continent, and there was no such sect as Qingtian Sect.

It really couldn't figure out where the Qingtian Sect was.

However, what it was concerned about now was not this matter, but Jiang Chen's offer to spare its life.

It had originally thought that today was a sure death, but unexpectedly, Jiang Chen actually wanted to subdue it.

But how could it, a dignified Peak Demon Emperor, become a sect guardian beast? At the very least, it should be an elder in this Qingtian Sect, right?

So, after recovering its senses.

The Giant Ape Demon Emperor said proudly, "Hmph, Human, how could I, a dignified Demon Race Great Emperor, be a mountain guardian beast for a human sect? If you want to subdue me, you must show some sincerity."

Although it didn't explicitly say it wanted to be an elder, as long as Jiang Chen wasn't a fool, he would know what it wanted.

"Heh!"

Seeing the Giant Ape Demon Emperor try to raise its price, Jiang Chen's face was full of amusement.

He had only casually asked for the Giant Ape Demon Emperor's opinion, but he didn't expect this fellow to still consider itself a Demon Emperor.

Now that the Giant Ape Demon Emperor was not being sensible and wanted to raise its price, he could only let it know what kind of predicament it was currently in.

"Elder Zhao Da, kill it and prepare a rich monkey feast for the disciples of the sect." Jiang Chen took a sip of the enlightenment tea poured by Liu Shu, and commanded indifferently.

"Yes, Sect Master!" Hearing this, Elder Zhao Da grabbed the spiritual energy chains locking the Giant Ape Demon Emperor, preparing to drag it out of the main hall to slaughter it.

"No, no!"

"Sect Master, spare my life! I am willing to be a mountain guardian beast, I am willing!!"

Seeing Jiang Chen order its slaughter without a word, the Giant Ape Demon Emperor's legs trembled, almost wetting itself.

It just wanted to raise its own value a bit, but it didn't expect Jiang Chen to be so impatient, threatening to kill it if even one word was wrong.

Now, to save its life, it couldn't care about that much anymore.

After all, being a mountain guardian beast was better than dying.

"Hehe, you are a dignified Demon Race Great Emperor, don't force yourself, alright?" Jiang Chen asked with a smile, looking at the Giant Ape Demon Emperor.

"Not forced, not forced at all. It is my honor to be a mountain guardian beast for the Qingtian Sect," the Giant Ape Demon Emperor replied, still shaken.

It dared not consider itself a Demon Emperor anymore, otherwise, it would truly die.

"Good, you are now the Qingtian Sect's mountain guardian beast."

Jiang Chen nodded in satisfaction, then imprinted a soul restriction into the Giant Ape Demon Emperor's body and said, "If you perform well in the future, This Sect Master will give you some opportunities. If you don't perform well, then you will be meat on the dining table for my Qingtian Sect disciples."

Although this Giant Ape Demon Emperor had already agreed to be the Qingtian Sect's mountain guardian beast, for safety's sake, a restriction still had to be placed on it.

As long as it harbored even a trace of thought detrimental to the Qingtian Sect, he would sense it and crush it to death.

"Yes, Sect Master, This Little Demon will definitely guard the entire sect well."

Seeing Jiang Chen place a restriction on its soul, the Giant Ape Demon Emperor knelt on the ground and replied respectfully.

Now that its soul had been restricted, it could only absolutely obey Jiang Chen's commands from now on.

"Hm, you may go. Elder Zhao Da, take it to guard the gate outside the sect." Looking at the now obedient Giant Ape Demon Emperor, Jiang Chen waved his hand and ordered Elder Zhao Da to take it outside the sect.

"Yes, Sect Master!"

Elder Zhao Da bowed and accepted the order.

However, he did not leave the main hall. After a moment of hesitation, he bowed to Jiang Chen again and reported, "Reporting to This Sect Master, this mountain guardian beast also has an elder brother and a third sister, both of whom are Peak Great Emperors from the Demon Kingdom."

"If the sect needs more mountain guardian beasts, it can call those two Demon Emperors over as well."

Hearing Elder Zhao Da's words.

The Giant Ape Demon Emperor's face showed anxiety.

Those were its elder brother and third sister.

If Jiang Chen asked it to call the two of them over, then with the Qingtian Sect's strength, its elder brother and third sister would end up just like it.

They would all be restricted and become mountain guardian beasts of the Qingtian Sect.

"Oh, there are two more Peak Great Emperor Demon Emperors?" Jiang Chen was pleasantly surprised upon hearing this.

Since there were two more Peak Great Emperor Demon Emperors in the Demon Kingdom, they definitely had to be called over to become mountain guardian beasts together.

After all, the Giant Ape Demon Emperor would be quite lonely by itself. With its elder brother and third sister accompanying it, it wouldn't be too bored.

Of course, the most important reason was to increase the sect's strength.

With two more restrictions, the Qingtian Sect would gain two more Peak Great Emperor Demon Emperors. Why not?

Thinking of this.

Jiang Chen smiled and looked at the Giant Ape Demon Emperor, saying, "Little monkey, you heard Elder Zhao Da, didn't you? Your elder brother and third sister must be very anxious not finding you. Why not call them over for a reunion?"
