Chapter 177: What Do You Think Of My Great Seal
What?
What did I just hear?
The Patriarch said he wants to take this human as his disciple? The Thunder Lion was completely dumbfounded.
This person killed the Beast-taming Mountain Elders and even turned me into this state. Instead of smacking him down with a single palm, the Patriarch wants to make him his one and only direct disciple? What kind of operation is this???
It's not just the Thunder Lion that's confused.
Elder Yun and Feng Xu were also stunned. Their minds hadn't caught up yet.
After a couple of seconds, they finally reacted, both wearing expressions of disbelief.
Feng Xu exclaimed, "Patriarch, you mean?"
"What's the matter? Do you have objections to me taking a disciple?" The Beast-taming Mountain Patriarch glanced at Feng Xu.
"No, no! Patriarch, forgive me!" Feng Xu trembled and quickly apologized.
But in his heart, a storm of shock and anxiety had already been set off.
If Su Zhan really became the Patriarch's disciple, wouldn't he be in deep trouble? Seeking revenge while not getting reported by Su Zhan would already be considered a good outcome!
He felt extremely frustrated.
Dozens of miles away, the disciples who had initially hoped to witness the Patriarch's might, smacking Su Zhan down with a single palm, were also dumbfounded.
"What's going on? Not only does the Patriarch not kill him, but he also wants to take him as a disciple?"
"This is just too unreasonable, right? He killed our Beast-taming Mountain Elders!"
"My goodness! The Patriarch wants to take him as a disciple even though he killed an Elder? Does that mean if I also kill a Beast-taming Mountain Elder, the Patriarch will take me as a disciple?"
"You're delusional! Setting aside the fact that an Elder could crush you with a single finger, if you were to kill an Elder, you'd definitely be tortured to death with extreme punishment! Do you think you're that freak who can earn the Patriarch's favor?"
"True, although that person's crimes are heinous, his talent is indeed abnormal. The Patriarch must have taken pity on his talent!"
The disciples were discussing animatedly.
Some were already thinking whether they should greet Su Zhan later, maybe try to get on his good side. After all, he would soon be one of their own, and Su Zhan wouldn't refuse a request from a Saint to become their disciple, right?
While those people were contemplating how to cozy up to Su Zhan once he became the Patriarch's direct disciple, Su Zhan spoke up.
"I have no intention of becoming your disciple."
This statement reverberated, leaving everyone astonished.
Su Zhan actually declined an offer to become a disciple of a Saint?
Has he lost his mind???
Feng Xu, who had been disappointed and annoyed just moments ago, broke into a wide smile upon hearing this. This guy truly doesn't know what's good for him. Well, now he doesn't have to worry about getting into trouble with Su Zhan in the future.
Because Su Zhan was going to die right here today!
The baffled Thunder Lion also felt a surge of joy.
It felt that it's revenge was within reach once again.
The Beast-taming Mountain Patriarch's face darkened. "You may not fully understand the weight behind the title of a Saint. Let me put it this way: once you become my disciple, everyone within a radius of thirty thousand miles will treat you with the utmost respect. Moreover, as my disciple, you'll receive guidance from a Saint, the best resources, and if you fancy any of the realm's most beautiful women, I can make your wishes come true! Will you still refuse?"
Everyone treating me with utmost respect? What good is that? As for guidance, do I need guidance for anything?
And as for those so-called "realm's most beautiful women" It seems they're utterly useless, too?
After hearing the Beast-taming Mountain Patriarch's words, Su Zhan felt somewhat speechless and shook his head.
"I have no intention of becoming your disciple. However, there's something I want to make clear to you," Su Zhan said after a pause. "While it's true that I killed your Beast-taming Mountain Elder, it was they who sought to kill me. Their own actions led to their demise. I hope we can put this matter to rest. You need to restrain the people of Beast-taming Mountain from further provoking the Sole Sword Sect and seeking revenge."
The Patriarch's face darkened completely. Feng Xu, who was beside him, noticed this and scolded Su Zhan, "How dare you! You killed our Beast-taming Mountain Elder, and now you want to settle things this way? You"
"Silence!" The Beast-taming Mountain Patriarch uttered coldly.
Then he turned to Su Zhan. "I, as a Saint, the Patriarch of Beast-taming Mountain, am speaking these words to a vicious criminal like you. I'm offering you such favorable terms. If you reject and leave, how can I uphold my dignity?"
"I will ask you one final time! Are you willing to become my disciple?"
After the last word was spoken, a surge of saint qi emanated from the Beast-taming Mountain Patriarch, pressing down towards the ground below.
"No, I'm not willing."
Su Zhan uttered the words, and his body radiated a brilliant starlight. The pressure of the saint qi had no effect on him whatsoever.
"Very well! Fine! Fine!"
The Beast-taming Mountain Patriarch was thoroughly enraged. His saint qi surged, causing even the surrounding spiritual energy of the heavens and earth to riot.
Elder Cloud and Feng Xu quickly retreated. Even if they were only caught in the shockwaves, they might end up severely injured.
"Since you're so clueless, let me see how much confidence you really have!" The Patriarch's voice was dripping with anger. He extended his hand, sending a palm strike toward Su Zhan.
A rumble echoed through the air. The space trembled as a pristine white handprint took shape. As that handprint descended towards the ground, the square, the buildings, everything shattered instantaneously.
The Thunder Lion, filled with terror, shot out a burst of lightning from its body and fled.
The white jade handprint continued its descent.
When the handprint was less than thirty meters away from Su Zhan, the ground beneath his feet began to shake. As if under this pressure, it could collapse at any moment!
Sensing this force, Su Zhan felt somewhat surprised. Is this the extent of a Saint's power?
With a thought, the Great Sun Star Sword flew out from within his sea of consciousness. He swung the sword, and a massive crescent-shaped sword qi cleaved through the handprint, continuing upwards for hundreds of meters before dissipating into the sky.
"The unity of heaven and man! The bearing of a Sword Saint!"
The Beast-taming Mountain Patriarch was slightly astonished, but then he coldly snorted.
"The bearing of a Sword Saint is also useless! A Saint is a Saint, and those who aren't Saints are all mere ants!"
As his words fell, his own lifesource weapon flew out from his brow. It was a white square seal.
Radiant light shimmered, forming a seal the size of a small mountain. Above the seal, a white tiger pattern was engraved, and it also emitted a brilliant light!
A colossal white tiger illusion materialized above the seal, imposing and majestic, overlooking Su Zhan below.
Boom!
Under the terrifying pressure of the seal, the ground beneath Su Zhan began to crumble!
"It's the White Tiger Saint Seal! The Patriarch's most formidable technique!"
"That Su Zhan must be regretting not becoming the Patriarch's disciple just now. Now he probably regrets it!"
"What's the use of regret now? He no longer has a chance!"
"Even if he's a prodigy, before becoming a Saint, he should remain respectful. That Su Zhan died because of his arrogance!"
The disciples of Beast-taming Mountain were exhilarated by the scene before them.
Witnessing a Saint using their lifesource weapon was definitely a topic they could brag about for a lifetime among peers!
The Beast-taming Mountain Patriarch stood high in the sky, gazing down at the collapsing Little Cloud Mountain beneath his White Tiger Saint Seal, and said coldly, "So, Su Zhan, what do you think of my Great Seal?"
