"I want to join Qinghe Daoist Temple!"
As soon as Qin Hao shouted, Lester's face darkened instantly.
It was obvious that he didn't like this option.
Of course, the young man beside the Qinghe Temple Master was beaming with joy.
However, the Qinghe Temple Master had a rather strange expression.
While he seemed happy, there was also a sense of hesitation and fear.
It's contradictory to say he's scared, yet he also seems happy.
Of course, after Qin Hao finished speaking, he didn't care what others thought and immediately went to Liu Qianqian's side.
Liu Qianqian was now free, because the woman from the Angel Clan had stopped controlling her the moment the Qinghe Temple Master appeared.
Since Martial Saint has arrived, and their Angel Clan's Martial Saint has also arrived, there's no need to resort to such petty tricks.
Qin Hao breathed a sigh of relief after taking Liu Qianqian's hand.
He wasn't afraid of anyone else, including everyone here; the only person he feared was Liu Qianqian.
He was afraid that Liu Qianqian would get hurt.
If that were to actually happen, then his statement, "Anyone who wants to hurt you will have to step over my dead body!" would become a classic example of a scumbag's words.
At this moment, Lester narrowed his eyes and looked at the Qinghe Temple Master with a forced smile.
"Qinghe Temple Master, well done, well done! I didn't expect your Qinghe Temple to have such a great reputation. Someone who came from the Gladiatorial Arena actually chose you without hesitation?"
Upon hearing this, the Qinghe Temple Master snapped out of his hesitation, looked at Qin Hao, and asked again, "Young brother, are you sure that there are only my son and I at Qinghe Temple right now?"
"And the Cosmic Alliance, that's something else entirely! The entire universe is practically under their control! You'd better think carefully before you choose!"
Hearing this, Lester's expression softened a little.
Qin Hao glanced at the Abbot of Qinghe Temple Master and Lester.
It was clear that Qinghe Temple Master was very hesitant, and Lester's expression was also very unpleasant because of his choice.
What does this mean? The Cosmic Alliance is the big boss in the entire Initial Universe, and other forces, although not under the Cosmic Alliance jurisdiction, can only be its underlings.
However, despite his hesitation, the Qinghe Temple Master still managed to pinpoint the key point.
That is, "Think it through before you choose".
After thinking it over, Qin Hao came to a conclusion.
He believed that the Qinghe Temple Master and the Cosmic Alliance must have some trump card to snatch people from each other, otherwise they shouldn't have such confidence.
It's just that the price to pay for such a trump card could be enormous, nothing more.
Qin Hao figured that since the other party wanted it, and he hadn't yet determined whether it was for his Chaos Dao Body or if he genuinely wanted to take them under his wing.
It's better to choose the less crowded one, after all, the Qinghe Temple Master just said that.
There were only him and his son in the entire Qinghe Temple, just the two of them. If they were really after his Chaos Dao Body, it would be very easy for him to escape.
The Cosmic Alliance is different; its power is too immense. Qin Hao doesn't believe there aren't Martial Emperor like the Jade Pool Empress.
It would be difficult to escape then. Who knows if they would knock you unconscious and forcibly possess you, right?
If I don't knock him unconscious, then once my system upgrades successfully, I can simply Spatial Teleportation away.
Moreover, if someone goes to Qinghe Daoist Temple and, in terms of power, is truly after their Chaos Dao Body, then the Cosmic Alliance would be no different.
As long as the Qinghe Temple Master wants to possess me, other forces will inevitably fight over me, making me safer.
If we go to the Cosmic Alliance, it will be truly the end, because it's highly unlikely that other forces will be able to take anything from the Cosmic Alliance.
After thinking it over, Qin Hao glanced at Qinghe Temple Master and Lester again.
They noticed that the Qinghe Temple Master still had a somewhat hesitant but expectant look on his face.
Lester, on the other hand, wore a wide smile, as if seeing it was like seeing light, and his mind was affected.
"Seniors, I have made up my mind. I choose to join Qinghe Daoist Temple!"
Qin Hao clasped his hands in a respectful salute, then spoke resolutely.
At this moment, another extremely powerful pressure struck.
Of everyone present, except for the Qinghe Temple Master and his son, Lester and another woman from the Angel Clan, everyone else was forced to their knees again.
Qin Hao and Liu Qianqian were once again pinned to the ground, unable to move.
Qin Hao wanted to curse inwardly. He thought, "So what if you're Martial Saint? Why are you always trying to show off? Would it kill you to tone down your aura and pressure?"
Just then, a beautiful woman in a light blue dress quietly walked towards them.
Like Lester, he took small, quick steps.
It gives the impression that he's showing off, as if he's deliberately walking like that.
With each step the beautiful woman in blue took, snowflakes appeared beneath her feet, and each small step covered a distance of thousands of meters, as if she had Shrinking the Earth to an Inch.
Soon, after walking only a few steps, the beautiful woman arrived beside Qinghe Temple Master and Lester.
"Qinghe Temple Master, Envoy Lester, it's been a long time!"
The beautiful woman's melodious voice spoke coldly, like an ice queen.
The woman's height was also surprisingly similar to that of humans on Blue Star, around 1.7 meters, and her appearance was no different from that of Easterners on Blue Star.
Qin Hao then carefully observed the expressions of the Qinghe Temple Master Lester.
The findings were different for each individual.
Lester's expression visibly darkened, as if he disliked the woman in the blue dress.
The Qinghe Temple Master, on the other hand, seemed quite happy.
The Qinghe Temple Master smiled at the beautiful woman and said, "Long time no see! I didn't expect the Holy Maiden to have become even more beautiful!"
The beautiful woman maintained her cold expression and then nodded.
Meanwhile, tens of thousands of kilometers away from the Gladiatorial Arena, Cross, hiding underground on the Cross Planet, watched as so many people gathered in the Gladiatorial Arena, and his lips twitched.
"Damn, I didn't expect all these big shots to come. Looks like this explosion was completely useless!"
As he spoke, he crossed one arm, sniffed it, licked it, and then started gnawing on it, just like he was gnawing on a chicken foot.
"Mmm, smells delicious! These Elven Race women are not only beautiful, but also incredibly skilled in bed. And they taste so good too, tsk tsk!"
Cross smacked his lips, then continued eating.
On the dining table in front of him, there was only one dish, and lying on it was an Elven Race woman, missing a leg and an arm, but the rest of her body was intact.
Several Minotaur standing nearby also closed their eyes in despair.
Beneath the Gladiatorial Arena, a screen displays:
