Chapter 634 - 264: We Submit! We All Yield!

The black sandalwood inserted into the ground would not take even an hour to fulfill its purpose.

Suddenly, this vast desert began to surge.

First, a bizarre buzzing sound came from the southwest region, a dense mass appeared, and upon closer inspection, there were countless black insects, swarming endlessly, filling the sky as they swiftly surged towards this place.

Each insect looked peculiar, unafraid of the sandstorm, their bodies seemingly forged from adamantine, unusually tough, exuding a pungent, spicy odor.

It was clear at a glance that they were venomous.

These endless black insects quickly rushed forward, rapidly squirming in the area outside the temple, forming a vague black humanoid shape amidst the eerie sounds.

Then, the black silhouette swiftly solidified, and with a flash of dark light, transformed from a haze into a tangible figure, becoming an old man dressed in a black robe, with a hunched back, holding a thick black cane, and a somewhat astonished look on his face, he raised his head to look at the ruined site before him.

"For what reason did the Supreme Elder suddenly summon us?"

He looked towards Evil Celestial Essence and Cangwu within the ruins and asked.

"Don’t ask too much now, once everyone arrives, it will be explained."

Grand Elder Cangwu said calmly.

"Yes, Grand Elder!"

The old man in the black robe immediately stopped speaking and stood respectfully outside the ruins.

Shortly after, piercing wind noises, like screeching sword gangs, resounded in the vast yellow desert, with large whirlwinds swiftly rolling in.

From these endless whirlwinds, a middle-aged man dressed in a green robe, with a refined face, resembling a scholar, slowly emerged.

Upon his arrival, he first glanced at the old man in the black robe, then immediately saluted Evil Celestial Essence and Cangwu respectfully, not asking a single question, and swiftly stood beside the old man in the black robe.

After he appeared.

The yellow sand on the ground again quickly churned, rustling, rapidly gathering from beneath into an eerie figure made of yellow sand.

Soon, the yellow sand solidified, transforming into an imposing old man dressed in a yellow robe, with yellow hair and beard.

After his appearance, from not far away, waves of fire surged, as if a blazing inferno was burning, and an elderly man clad in a red robe, with red hair and beard, also rushed in quickly.

Upon his appearance, he immediately bowed along with the old man in the yellow robe, with yellow hair and beard, towards Evil Celestial Essence and Cangwu.

Then, distant disturbances once again came forth.

This time, however, it wasn’t a single person appearing solo.

But rather hundreds of figures appeared at once, crowding and swiftly gathering together.

"We pay respects to the Supreme Elder! We pay respects to the Grand Elder!"

Upon their arrival, the crowd spoke respectfully, bowing.

Jiang Shi watched from one side, secretly marveling.

The way the people from the Evil Dao Sect appeared was indeed somewhat peculiar.

But one must admit, it was surely efficient.

After that black sandalwood was released, it summoned so many experts in less than an hour.

Judging from this efficiency, the Celestial Demon Sect truly couldn’t compare.

But the number of experts here couldn’t match those of the Celestial Demon Sect.

He glanced over briefly; besides the four elders who appeared initially belonging to the Blood Pill Realm, there were very few Blood Pill Realm experts among the others.

"Mr. Jiang, these are the four Great Kings and three hundred and sixty-five Hall Masters of my Evil Dao Sect."

Evil Celestial Essence spoke with emotion, "The four Great Kings are the Poison King Ouyang Han, the Wind King Zuo Qin, the Earth King Zhao Degang, and the Fire King Ying Xuan, all are experts of the Eighth Realm in the Blood Pill Realm, serving the Holy Sect with great effort."

"I see,"

Jiang Shi nodded lightly, looking at the four, making a first impression.

"Supreme Elder, who might this person be..."

Poison King Ouyang Han’s eyes flickered, unable to resist asking first.

The other three also harbored unsettling guesses, all turning their gaze towards Evil Celestial Essence.

"This is the one who has cultivated the Sutra of the Departed Soul, named Jiang Shi, from now on, he will be the new Sect Leader of our Evil Dao Sect, you may kneel."

Evil Celestial Essence closed his eyes slightly, speaking calmly.

The four Great Kings and three hundred and sixty-five Hall Masters were instantly shocked, revealing expressions of surprise.

New Sect Leader?

The crowd could not help but immediately start discussing.

Since the previous Sect Leader, Venerable Profound Forest, disappeared, the Evil Dao Sect had gone into anonymity, never establishing a new Sect Leader, and the entire sect had been supported solely by the Supreme Elder.

Now the Supreme Elder suddenly designates a new Sect Leader?

For a moment, many frowned, with various thoughts brewing.

The idea of appointing a new Sect Leader was not foreign to them.

However, in their minds, the Sect Leader should not be an outsider.

But should be chosen from among the four Great Kings.

Although the sect had long-standing rules, stating whoever cultivated the Sutra of the Departed Soul would be the leader of the Evil Dao Sect, that rule was way too ancient.

No one was willing to adhere to it anymore.

After all, rules are dead, but people are alive.

"Supreme Elder, about Mr. Jiang, we are uncertain of his cultivation and background, recklessly allowing him to assume the leadership of Evil Dao Sect might... cause dissent among some of the elders."

The Wind King Zuo Qin slightly smiled, speaking up, "Even if he were to assume the leadership, at the very least, he should first familiarize himself with the sect’s affairs, right?"

"Is the Wind King implying dissatisfaction with Mr. Jiang?"

Grand Elder Cangwu suddenly spoke calmly, asking.
