Chapter 579: Three Things
It is still more practical to rely on physical strength
In the world of cultivation, where the strong prey on the weak, strength is the most important thing. As long as you can defeat everyone in front of you, all problems will be solved naturally.
If you have no strength of your own, relying only on kowtowing and groveling will always keep you down.
Seeing Su Jingzhen’s sudden arrogance, the expressions of all the Elders in the hall changed again.
But when they looked into Su Jingzhen’s eyes, they saw a glimmer of appreciation.
Yes, if they were humble in front of them, they would never get their approval.
On the other hand, if they were a bit arrogant, they could earn their admiration.
If they truly had the power to crush them, it would be even more perfect.

Before any of the Elder Council members could react, Luo Yuebai made the first move with a three-bonus attack.
Su Jingzhen turned around and gave her a reassuring look.
The next moment, about ten elders stood up in the hall.
Their auras were all at the late Nascent Soul realm.
As they looked at Su Jingzhen, their eyes were filled with excitement, but more importantly, they had a strong fighting spirit.
Soon, the number of elders standing up reached eighteen.
They completely surrounded Su Jingzhen.
The atmosphere in the council hall immediately became tense.
But at this moment, Su Jingzhen remained calm and composed.
With the Black Brick in my hand, the world is mine.
The Great Elder smiled and said, “Su Jingzhen is indeed a renowned figure. You should all go together. However, this place is a bit cramped. Let’s go to the central square!”
The Great Elder addressed the people in front of him.
As soon as he said this, Shen Yifeng and Luo Yuebai looked at him with a smile on their lips.
Without hesitation, everyone in the council hall moved outside.
The Demonic Path cultivators were truly quick and decisive in their actions.
In an instant, dozens of streaks of light flashed by.
They arrived directly at the center of the architectural complex, a huge plaza.
At that moment, Su Jingzhen clearly saw countless swift and poisonous insects dancing in the void.
Then, countless streaks of light appeared from all directions.
Soon, the central plaza was swarming with people, tens of thousands of them.
Evil Moon Sect cultivators from all realms were present.
Most of them had puzzled expressions.
However, when they saw nearly twenty Elders surrounding Su Jingzhen, they suddenly understood something.
Their eyes were filled with unprecedented excitement.
“Looking at this formation, it seems that Su Jingzhen was too arrogant and insulted the Elder Council.
With nearly twenty elders attacking him at once, it should be enough to verify the truth of the rumors outside.”
“It is said that Su Jingzhen has killed many cultiavtors at the Nascent Soul stage.
He even defeated more than ten Divine Intent Realm cultivators single-handedly.”
“Rumors are just rumors, everyone hasn’t seen it.
Do you really believe that? It is said that the Great Elder of our Evil Moon Sect is only at the Divine Intent Realm.
If Su Jingzhen can defeat more than ten people by himself, doesn’t that mean he can destroy our entire Evil Moon Sect? Just watch.”
“I have to say, this time, Su Jingzhen will probably be severely reprimanded by those elders of the Elders Council.
He might be able to defeat an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator, but challenging nearly twenty elders at the same time is still a bit unrealistic.”
“But in my opinion, if he can last one or two rounds against those elders, it will be enough to prove himself.
I will admit that he is indeed a match for our Saintess.”
“…”
The countless words of the Evil Moon Sect disciples still reached the ears of Luo Yuebai and Shen Yifeng.
As expected, the voices questioning Su Jingzhen still dominated the headquarters.
Their gaze turned to the center once again, to the Great Elder whose hair was white as snow and whose life was nearing its end.
This was the Great Elder’s deliberate intention to have them come and fight.
It seemed that he wanted to use this fight against the Elders to solidify Su Jingzhen’s position and image in the hearts of the disciples of the Evil Moon Sect.
In fact, the moment the Great Elder asked Shen Yifeng how many layers he had reached and Shen Yifeng replied, the current outcome was already predetermined.
It was predestined that Su Jingzhen would not face any obstacles during his visit to the Evil Moon Sect this time.
Time gradually passed.
After nearly half an incense stick’s time, the Great Elder took a step forward.
He walked to the highest point of the central plaza, overlooking all the disciples of the Evil Moon Sect below.
By this time, everyone who was supposed to be here had arrived.
The Great Elder addressed Su Jingzhen and the other elders of the Elders Council below, “This place is sufficient, but you are all fellow disciples of the Evil Moon Sect. As for the competition, let’s keep it simple. I won’t say much more, so let’s begin.”
As soon as the Great Elder’s words fell, the blood energy within Su Jingzhen’s nine human secret repositories instantly surged.
Facing this group of late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, he didn’t need to rely on Bai Suzhen’s power.
He was enough on his own.
He was at sixth stage of Flesh Body Nascent Embryo Realm. Facing the Divine Intent Realm cultivator, he might be able to fight, but against only Nascent Soul cultivators, he should only have one words: invincible.
After all, the defensive power of his Heavenly Dragon Scales was already enough to ignore the attacks of most Nascent Soul cultivators.
His Heavenly Dragon Race identity had already been revealed. At this point, he had nothing to worry about.
He immediately took off his shirt completely, revealing his grotesque yet cool silver-white dragon scales.
As the silver light shone brightly, his defense was already at its maximum. He held a brick in his right hand and waved his left hand at the surrounding elders.
It was as if he was saying to everyone: Come and get me!
Seeing that Su Jingzhen had already taken his stance, the elders surrounding him didn’t hesitate.
After silently nodding, the attacks they had already prepared rushed towards Su Jingzhen without any hesitation.
When the elders made their move, they didn’t form a joint attack formation.
Their attacks were chaotic, and none of them posed a real threat to Su Jingzhen.
He activated the defensive power of his Heavenly Dragon Scales to the limit and then randomly chose a direction.
“Boom boom!”
He wanted to directly withstand the opponent’s attacks with his powerful defense.
The attacks of late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators were already considered to be at the highest level in Qingzhou Land, but Su Jingzhen’s strength was far too advanced.
To be more precise, it surpassed the Qingzhou Region.
Leaving several afterimages in his wake, Su Jingzhen immediately rushed in front of the two elders.
His instinct was to swing his brick, but after a moment’s thought, he decided to kick out with both feet instead.
His black brick, even with restraint, could kill or seriously injure someone.
Among his fellow disciples, he only wanted to earn their respect.
He hadn’t thought about killing anyone.
After all, since the situation had reached this point, he no longer had any enemies within the Evil Moon Sect except for Zou Zeyu and the Second Elder who had fled.
With these two kicks, the two elders were instantly kicked out of the battle circle.
They spat out a mouthful of blood, and their auras weakened considerably.
The two instinctively wanted to rejoin the battle, but they also saw Su Jingzhen switch from using his brick to kicking.
They sighed and stopped once more.
From the previous attack, they couldn’t tell how much power Su Jingzhen had actually used.
It was a completely crushing defeat.
After all, the opponent was able to ignore their attacks, and this time, they knew that the rumors circulating outside must be true.
As the two elders thought this, several more figures were kicked out of the battle circle, each spitting a mouthful of blood into the sky.
However, none of them were seriously injured by Su Jingzhen, and none of them were left crippled.
All the Evil Moon Sect disciples in the central square were now stunned.
“Am I seeing things right? This isn’t an illusion, is it? Is Su Jingzhen really so ferocious?”
“He is so strong! Even the Elder Council elders couldn’t land a single blow. Those rumors weren’t just empty talk.”
“From now on, Su Jingzhen, Master Su, will be my only idol! Zou Zeyu is now a traitor to our Evil Moon Sect. He no longer deserves the title of Holy Son, nor does he deserve our continued worship.”
“Amazing! I wonder what he ate to cultivate to this level. It seems like it hasn’t even been six months since he came from nowhere to this point. I envy those cultivators who followed the Saintess to Linjiang City back then.”
“….”
As everyone watched the members of the Elders Council fly through the air, discussions erupted once again.
In less than twenty breaths, nearly twenty elders were kicked out of the battle circle by Su Jingzhen.
They all spat out a mouthful of blood, but none of them were seriously injured.
And in this short span of twenty breaths, all the members of the Evil Moon Sect had already changed their long-held opinions about Su Jingzhen.
As Shen Yifeng had said earlier, the disciples at the Evil Moon Sect’s headquarters were indeed more fervent.
And these people would become his loyal followers.
On the other hand, even though the Great Elder was prepared, he still looked a little dazed when he saw Su Jingzhe dealing with these guys so cleanly and neatly.
Then he came back to the high altitude.
With a gaze that seemed to pierce the heavens, he asked, “You guys who were unwilling to accept the situation, are you convinced now?
The Great Elder asked with a smile, but no one replied.
Immediately, the Great Elder’s gaze turned serious again.
“If that’s the case, there’s no need for us demonic cultivators to hesitate any longer.
You all know what happened outside.”
As the hoarse yet authoritative voice of the Great Elder echoed through the square, everyone present, including the disciples of all realms, became serious.
Of course, they knew what kind of changes had happened to the Evil Moon Sect.
And now that Shen Yifeng and the others had returned, it was indeed time to reveal the future fate of the Evil Moon Sect.
As the square fell silent, the Great Elder did not hesitate and immediately spoke again: “Three things.
“First, the Second Elder and Saint Son Zou Zeyu have betrayed the Evil Moon Sect and are now considered abandoned disciples of the Evil Moon Sect, effective immediately!
Anyone from the Evil Moon Sect who encounters them may, if they have the strength, act on behalf of the highest authority of the Evil Moon Sect and retrieve what they have obtained from the Evil Moon Sect.”
This first announcement shook the hearts of everyone in the Evil Moon Sect.
To retrieve what they had received from the Evil Moon Sect was actually to retrieve the blessings they had received within the Evil Moon Sect, including their cultivation.
Therefore, taking back what they had obtained was tantamount to chasing after their lives!
“Second, from this moment on, Su Jingzhen is the Chief Acolyte of the Evil Moon Sect.
He is no longer limited to the Linjiang branch!
He will enjoy the powers of a deputy sect master!”
Although they had already expected this, everyone was still surprised.
In this way, Su Jingzhen’s status within the Evil Moon Sect would be second only to the Sect Master, above all others.
Even they knew that this “second only to the sect master” was just a facade.
By nightfall, even the Sect Master would probably be subordinate to him.
The Great Elder ignored the crowd’s reactions.
He said once again: “Third, from this moment on, Luo Yuebai, the Chief Saintess of the Evil Moon Sect, is the Sect Master of the Evil Moon Sect!
She is the leader of the Evil Moon Sect with the highest authority!”
As soon as the Great Elder finished speaking, a crimson moon suddenly appeared behind the central plaza, behind a mountain peak.
A crimson light immediately enveloped Luo Yuebai.
There was no need for these cumbersome rituals.
As the leader of the Elders Council, and with the unanimous consent of all the members of the Elders Council, with a single word, Luo Yuebai could be crowned.
At this moment, when the Crimson Moon appeared, Su Jingzhen heard Bai Suzhen’s surprised voice in his ear.
“This Evil Moon Sect, it’s quite interesting…”
