Chapter 395 - It Was the Nether King's Hall Again and Chen Qi's Threat

Upon hearing Jiang Hao's words, Chen Qi's figure stiffened, a glint of cold light flashing in his eyes. He feigned indifference to Jiang Hao's threat, responding with a smile.

”Mr. Jiang, you can rest easy. Your father is in safe hands. Agree to a few of my conditions, and I'll release him immediately!”

Jiang Hao let out a cold laugh and fixed his gaze on Chen Qi.

“It seems you haven't done your homework.”

“People who threaten me rarely meet a pleasant fate.”

Chen Qi appeared unfazed by Jiang Hao's intimidation, dismissing it with a chuckle.

“Haha... How could that be?”

“Before meeting with you, Mr. Jiang, I made extensive preparations. Knowing your temperament, I feared you might decline my invitation. So, I decided to invite your father, mother, and sister to join us instead. Sadly, my incompetent men only managed to bring your father.”

Jiang Hao's eyes turned icy as he regarded Chen Qi, a chilling aura emanating from him. The change in atmosphere caused Chen Qi's henchmen to look on with grave expressions.

Yet, Chen Qi remained composed, confident in his leverage over Jiang Hao with Jiang Weiping's life in his hands.

After a tense silence, Jiang Hao reined in his aura.

There was a brief pause before Jiang Hao broke the silence.

“Agreed.”

But Chen Qi was oblivious to the fact that his own greed had only confirmed Jiang Hao's decision to spare none of them.

At that moment, Chen Qi was ecstatic, never having anticipated such a fortunate turn of events on his journey.

The world was just beginning to awaken, and becoming a martial cultivator required a confluence of various elements—something beyond the reach of ordinary people for now.

The Nether King's Hall had its methods for cultivating martial cultivators, but their approach was different from Jiang Hao's. They would select from among the most elite assassins, only a few strong candidates.

These chosen few would then ingest a range of rare, secret concoctions, which would eventually spark a hint of qi in their bodies, transforming them into the most basic level of martial cultivators.

The mortality rate for this process was alarmingly high. Not all the chosen could endure the potency of these medicines and transform it into Genuine Qi. Some would be fatally overwhelmed.

Moreover, these medicines were exceedingly rare, making the cultivation of martial cultivators a limited opportunity.

The competition within the Nether King's Hall was fierce, and the coveted slots for becoming an artificially cultivated martial cultivator were hotly contested.

Within their Seven Kills Hall, which comprised four major divisions, there was also a hierarchy.

The Azure Dragon reigned supreme, followed by the Vermilion Bird, with the Black Tortoise in third place. Their White Tiger Hall languished at the bottom, all due to a shortage of martial cultivators and insufficient strength.
