The most excited people at the scene were the mad old man and the white-haired old woman.
They made that promise only as a last resort.
Rather than grow old and die here, I thought I might as well give myself a glimmer of hope.
If I could really get out, what would it matter if I had to work like a slave for someone else?
At the very least, going out offers a chance to transcend tribulations and advance in cultivation, and even a sliver of a possibility of becoming an immortal.
Even if it's not for becoming an immortal, enduring one more tribulation can still add five thousand years to one's lifespan, which is still incredibly worthwhile.
And this is a goal that almost everyone present can achieve.
Having cultivated in the Immortal's Cave for so long, everyone's accumulated experience is terrifying.
However, due to the isolation caused by the Heavenly Dao in this place, the people are unable to undergo tribulation and receive baptism.
Once they get out, the first thing they'll likely do is undergo tribulation and advance in rank.
Wu Sansi looked at an old man beside him and chuckled coldly:
"Old Zhang, what the hell are you thinking about? Is it shameful to acknowledge the young master as your master? Don't you even know your own worth?"
"After a while, even if you want to pledge allegiance to the young master, he won't want you."
The old man named Zhang immediately looked embarrassed and tried to explain:
"This all happened so suddenly, I haven't even thought it through yet, Young Master Chu, perhaps... I could consider it for a couple of days before giving my answer?"
Chu Mo turned his head and glanced at him, his smile calm and casual.
"Hehe, senior, you're overthinking it. As for the question of a reply, I haven't made any demands on you."
"However, I will not sacrifice my own future to seek benefits for outsiders, and I hope that my seniors will understand this."
After saying this, he bowed slightly to the crowd around him, then turned and walked towards Jiang Youwei's residence.
He completely ignored the group of cultivators undergoing tribulation present.
"Young Master Chu, please wait a moment. Are there any conditions we can discuss?"
A short, withered old man hurriedly tried to persuade him to stay; he was none other than the ninth-tribulation cultivator.
The others echoed this sentiment, their expressions anxious and helpless.
Chu Mo stopped, turned around, and spoke in a calm and casual tone.
"Senior, if there's anything you need to discuss, just talk to my senior sister. She can make decisions for me."
"I was slightly injured while trying to break the formation and need to go back to recuperate. Please forgive me."
After saying this, he politely cupped his hands in greeting, turned around and left, looking incredibly carefree.
"Well... Miss Jiang, we've been neighbors for ages, you must put in a good word for us."
The short old man looked helpless and did not try to persuade him to stay any longer. The man had already given his reason for being injured; could he really force him to stay?
Although he was a ninth-tribulation cultivator, he dared not offend Chu Mo under these circumstances.
Otherwise, if he gave the order, everyone present would probably be willing to be at his beck and call and have themselves taken down.
What's more, he has a monstrous senior sister whose combat power is even greater than his own!
Jiang Youwei glanced at everyone with her beautiful eyes, her expression calm yet domineering.
"Everyone, I won't beat around the bush. It's not impossible for you to get out if you really want to."
"However, everyone must show the corresponding sincerity. My junior brother paid a huge price to bring you out, so what can you do for him in return?"
"We've all lived for tens of thousands of years, so we should understand that there's no such thing as getting something for nothing. If you want to go out, you have to pay the price."
The short, ninth-tribulation cultivator could only ask with a wry smile:
"I wonder what kind of conditions Miss Jiang would find acceptable to my junior brother?"
"That's right, Miss Jiang, please feel free to ask for anything we can provide."
"Me too. If you can take me away from this godforsaken place, I would be willing to be your slave, even if it means serving you like a slave."
"We're the same way. As long as we can get out, we'll sell ourselves to Young Master Chu for the rest of our lives."
Others also shouted excitedly, some even directly copying Wu Sansi and his group's actions.
Weren't these two promised to be taken away from here because they acknowledged Chu Mo as their master?
Since that's the case.
At worst, I can just be like them and find myself a boss, right?
What's the big deal?
Seeing that someone had made a good start, Jiang Youwei's expression softened considerably, and she smiled:
"Qian Mancang, Zhu Gui, I have seen your sincerity. Don't worry, I will definitely take you with me when we go out."
"As for the others, I won't beat around the bush. My junior brother would never do something so thankless."
Jiang Youwei's eyes were indifferent and calm, but her words were firm and powerful.
It left others feeling conflicted.
As for Qian Mancang and Zhu Gui, who had agreed to serve, their faces lit up with joy, and they hurriedly shouted their gratitude:
"Thank you, Miss Jiang. Please rest assured, you and Young Master Chu, once we get out of here, our lives will be in Young Master Chu's hands."
"Old Zhu, you still call me Young Master Chu? You should start calling me Young Master now. We'll be working under the same roof from now on, so you'll have to look after each other."
Although he was speaking to Zhu Gui, Qian Mancang's gaze was fixed on Jiang Youwei, his smile flattering and ingratiating.
He only had the cultivation level of the fourth tribulation, although he had once been the leader of a gang outside.
But having lived here for thousands of years, they have long since learned how to be humble.
Therefore, she did not feel ashamed to acknowledge Chu Mo as her master; on the contrary, she was looking forward to it.
Miss Jiang only has the cultivation level of the sixth tribulation, but even Tang Wenyuan, who is at the ninth tribulation level, is no match for her.
His extraordinary talent and profound accumulated strength are simply unbelievable.
Once you get out, breaking through obstacles will be as easy as drinking water, and you may even reach a fairyland in the future.
Chu Mo, her junior brother, also had no way of revealing his cultivation level, and the fact that he was able to come here alone...
It goes without saying that his true combat strength definitely surpasses that of a third-tribulation cultivator.
