The Sky Gang Sect had submitted to the Yao Guang Sacred Land.
Though their strength was not very strong,
there was one undeniable point: they were a righteous sect!
Every disciple of the Sky Gang Sect had always considered themselves righteous,
and whenever they went out, they would shout slogans to eliminate demons and uphold justice,
but in truth, they hadn't eradicated many demons.
But now,
the leader of a righteous sect had chosen to practice demon techniques—wasn't this a slap in the face?
If it were just a disciple, it could be handled.
They could abolish the disciple's cultivation and expel them from the sect to resolve the matter.
But the sect leader was different.
Could they abolish the sect leader's cultivation?
Could they expel the sect leader from the sect?
Wasn't that a joke!
At this moment, the only person in the Sky Gang Sect who had broken through to the Saint realm was the sect leader.
In the coming years, it was the sect leader who would continue to support the entire sect.
Now, even if the sect leader had fallen to demonic practices,
this matter had to be suppressed for now.
“Brothers, go calm the disciples and tell everyone in the Sky Gang Sect not to leak today's events.
Everything must wait until the sect leader has broken through!”
The elder's face was as cold as water as he spoke quickly.
The sect leader had caused such a huge scandal; they had to keep it under wraps for now.
This was a disgrace for the Sky Gang Sect.
If word spread, the sect's reputation would be ruined!
Once the sect leader achieved Sainthood, if they concealed their aura, perhaps there would still be some wiggle room—after all, it was hard to detect someone whose aura had been fully retracted at the same level.
“Understood!”
The other seven elders nodded solemnly and quickly left, gathering all the disciples to prevent them from gossiping.
...
“What's going on? I was in the middle of my cultivation, why was I called out?”
“I don't know either. I heard it was the will of the eight elders to gather all the disciples for an important announcement.”
“Could it be... the sect leader has broken through?”
“That's possible. Maybe the eight elders want to let everyone witness it. After all, the sect leader achieving Sainthood is the biggest event in the Sky Gang Sect in over ten thousand years!”
“Perhaps... people from the Yao Guang Sacred Land have arrived?”
“The Yao Guang Sacred Land just left. How could they return so soon? I think the sect leader's breakthrough is more likely!”
...
In the Sky Gang Sect's plaza,
tens of thousands of disciples had gathered, murmuring among themselves, their voices creating a noisy atmosphere.
“Silence!”
A white-robed elder stepped into the air, casting a sweeping glance at the crowd below. He pressed his hand down, silencing everyone. He then spoke, “Today is the day the sect leader achieves Sainthood. This concerns the future honor of the Sky Gang Sect. No matter what you see or hear today, you must not speak of it to outsiders, understood?”
The white-robed elder was helpless in his heart; there were too many disciples within the sect.
Even with today's warning, it would be hard to keep the sect leader's cultivation of demonic techniques a secret—after all, there was no such thing as a completely soundproof wall in the world.
With tens of thousands of disciples, who could guarantee that everyone would keep their mouths shut?
They could only hope to delay things for a bit longer.
“Understood!”
Countless disciples shouted in unison.
Before the sound had even faded,
inside the Sect Leader's Hall,
a dazzling black light filled the air, as a pitch-black sun, accompanied by surging demonic energy, rose up, emitting an overwhelming Saintly aura that swept through the heavens.
It exuded a terrifying presence.
In this moment,
any formation below the Saint-level could not resist this all-encompassing force!
The black sun hung high,
and below it, there was a vast royal sun, with waves crashing violently, as if it would drown the entire Sky Gang Sect.
“This...”
Upon witnessing this scene,
from the elders to the countless disciples, everyone was stunned.
What was this?
Wasn't this demonic energy?
What kind of person was their sect leader?
As the sect leader of the Sky Gang Sect, how could he emit such pure demonic energy?
If he were the sect leader of some demonic sect,
many might even believe it.
“Boom!”
Yang Qiu remained seated, circulating his cultivation technique.
A myriad of divine lights radiated from his body, and an illusory figure appeared, standing on top of the royal sun.
With his feet on the sea of demons and the black sun above his head, he looked like a demon lord, arrogantly surveying the mortal realm!
As Yang Qiu's aura grew,
the illusory figure grew as well, eventually becoming a towering and immortal image that appeared in the heavens.
Boundless demonic might oppressed the void.
Countless people felt as if they couldn't breathe.
Some weaker disciples immediately trembled and knelt to the ground.
“Who... is this?”
One elder looked up at the figure in the sky. His expression changed in an instant; he didn't recognize this person—this figure didn't resemble the sect leader at all!
“I've never seen this person...”
The elder shook his head, his hand freezing as he stroked his beard. His mind was struck as though by a thunderbolt, leaving him frozen in place.
He stared at the illusory figure, his lips trembling, his face pale.
In that instant, countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
This was not the sect leader.
The sect leader hadn't achieved Sainthood in the Sky Gang Sect—so where was he?
“Bad!”
The elder's face turned ashen, as though he realized something. He quickly took flight and rushed toward the Sect Leader's Hall, shouting in a voice filled with grief and anger,
“Sect~~Leader~~~!”
The words “Sect Leader” echoed across the land, truly heartbreaking for those who heard it and bringing tears to the eyes of those who saw it.
