Chapter 635 - 264: We Submit! We All Yield!

"No, this subordinate would never dare."

Wind King Zuo Qin’s expression changed slightly, he quickly spoke, "Supreme Elder and Grand Elder, please understand, this subordinate is also thinking for the sake of the sect."

"Is that so?"

Grand Elder Cangwu revealed a slight cold smile, "If you were truly thinking for the sect, you should honestly follow the rules, instead of harboring some stray thoughts!"

"Grand Elder, Wind King does make some sense. This Mr. Jiang might be exceptionally gifted, with profound strength, but given his unfamiliarity with our sect’s affairs, him suddenly assuming the position of Sect Leader might truly not be good for our Evil Dao Sect."

Suddenly, Fire King Ying Xuan, on one side, couldn’t hold back his elderly voice, his gaze extremely sharp and deep.

Like two dark red rays, he coldly scanned Jiang Shi, assessing him nonstop.

The three hundred and sixty-five Hall Masters behind him were whispering to each other, all engaging in nonstop discussion.

Cangwu’s expression instantly sank.

Though he had expected this group to be superficially respectful and not necessarily follow the new Sect Leader’s words, the scene before him was nonetheless chilling.

The Supreme Elder maintained a calm demeanor throughout, observing everything.

Jiang Shi, however, showed a slightly strange expression, arms crossed, silent, as if watching a play.

"Interesting, Elder Xie, it seems things won’t proceed as smoothly as you’d imagined."

Jiang Shi suddenly laughed, saying, "I have many important matters to attend to, as for familiarizing myself with sect affairs, please forgive me for finding it difficult to accomplish now."

The implication was the same as before.

He simply had no time to waste here.

If the sect’s members were defiant, he couldn’t be bothered to continue as Sect Leader.

The Supreme Elder lightly nodded, looked around at the group, and calmly said, "Enough, stop speaking, I know you’re dissatisfied. The position of Sect Leader has been vacant for a long time, each of you has entertained thoughts about it, this cannot escape this old man’s notice. Since you don’t wish to follow the first rule of the sect, then let’s speak through strength."

"Speak through strength?"

"Does the Supreme Elder mean using the Evil Sea Grand Array?"

The Four Great Kings and all three hundred and sixty-five Hall Masters showed a stunned expression, and asked one after another.

"Yes, the Evil Sea Grand Array!"

The Supreme Elder spoke coldly, "Cultivate with the Sutra of the Departed Soul, if you’re dissatisfied, then use the Evil Sea Grand Array to decide. My Evil Dao Sect has affirmed the Sect Leader through this more than once."

"Supreme Elder, once the Evil Sea Grand Array is activated, we cannot control its power, if by any chance it injures Mr. Jiang, it would surely sadden the Supreme Elder."

Poison King Ouyang Han’s eyes flickered, unable to keep silent.

"Don’t worry, if you can injure this person, then I shall never allow him to become Sect Leader, and I will not hold you responsible, is that satisfactory?"

Evil Celestial Essence spoke indifferently.

"Is the Supreme Elder serious?"

The Four Great Kings’ eyes flashed.

"I stand by my word."

Evil Celestial Essence coldly replied.

"Fine, then we shall offend!"

Poison King Ouyang Han couldn’t restrain a slight smile, a gleam flickered in his eyes as he shouted sharply, "Form the array!"

Behind him, the three hundred and sixty-five Hall Masters simultaneously produced large black flags, waving them, emitting strange sounds, and then their bodies rapidly moved, releasing an eerie and terrifying power, directly forming a gigantic and terrifying array, akin to a vast black tide, boundless, with surging black fog.

The Four Great Kings also shouted, integrating themselves into the array, swiftly becoming part of it, momentarily turning the entire black tide as if it were alive.

Waves surged, crashing against the land.

Dyeing the entire space pitch black.

"Hmm?"

Jiang Shi couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, looking at the array before him.

Was this meant to have him fight?

"Mr. Jiang, this is the fastest method, rest assured, as long as you break their array, you can rightfully become Sect Leader. Then, all sect documents and various resources will be available to you. With your strength, breaking the array should not be difficult."

Evil Celestial Essence couldn’t control himself and spoke.

"Alright."

Jiang Shi lightly nodded, neither refusing nor accepting, instead gazing at the array in front of him, though his face involuntarily showed a trace of a strange expression.

His Dragon Lock Talent could automatically suppress the power of all low-level Martial Artists.

To others, this array might appear profound and enough to confine a Blood Pill, but to him, it was like a mere illusion.

Thinking of this, Jiang Shi chuckled lightly, immediately stepping forward, heading toward the black tide before him.

"The array is activated, Infinite Evil Sea!"

Poison King Ouyang Han shouted sharply.

The entire array suddenly surged, waves billowing, sweeping toward Jiang Shi, while various terrifying poisons quickly poured toward his body.

Poison King showed a sinister, strange smile.

Supreme Elder trying to appoint someone else as Sect Leader, it’s simply wishful thinking!

At least he, the Poison King, must be asked if he agrees!

Yet!

Boom!

Jiang Shi remained calm, unfazed, his giant palm already sweeping across, dispersing the black fog, striking toward the bodies of the Hall Masters.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Suddenly, sounds erupted within the entire array, cries of agony pierced through, blood splattered, figures like broken sacks began flying out from the black tide.

In Jiang Shi’s eyes, the so-called array was simply an illusion.
