10: Conquer the elders! Ascend the throne of the leader

Suddenly, Qin Tian heard the Grand Elder's voice transmission through the Dao Heart Demon Seed.

He patted Zhao Yan'er's shoulder, “I have something to attend to now. When I’m done, I’ll come find you.”

“Take this bottle of Gathering Spirit Pill to improve your cultivation. After you advance one minor Realm, you can only take it again seven days later.”

With that, Qin Tian transformed into a streak of light and headed towards the Second Elder’s mansion.

Zhao Yan'er looked at Qin Tian's retreating figure and pouted, “Bad guy, always running off after he’s done.”

......

Arriving at the Second Elder’s mansion, he saw that the Third Elder, Fourth Elder, and Fifth Elder were all Seal and paralyzed on the ground, with shouts and curses echoing through the hall.

“Grand Elder! Why did you tie me up! I don't recall ever offending you!” The Third Elder roared in anger.

“Second Elder, you despicable scoundrel! You tricked me into coming to your mansion for tea by saying you had a Joyful Union Sect demoness, but you ambushed me instead!” The Fourth Elder roared.

Qin Tian took a step forward, appearing before everyone.

“Greetings, Young Master!” The Grand Elder and others bowed in salute.

Qin Tian nodded in satisfaction.

“Grand Elder, have you gone mad? Qin Tian is just a mere Inner Sect Disciple, yet you're bowing to him?!” The Fifth Elder shouted.

Qin Tian didn't waste words with them and went directly to the Third Elder, pressing his fingertip on his glabella, and said coldly, “Resist and die!”

Feeling the icy chill emanating from Qin Tian, the Third Elder shivered. He had no doubt that if he showed even a hint of resistance, Qin Tian would truly kill him.

He didn't want to get involved in the Sect Master's struggle; he just wanted to enjoy life peacefully. He certainly didn't want to die!

Soon, the Third Elder successfully had the Dao Heart Demon Seed planted.

The Third Elder knelt on both knees, “Master.”

“Third Elder, have you gone mad?!” The Fourth Elder roared.

“He hasn't gone mad! It will be your turn soon.”

Coming before the Fourth Elder, he pressed his fingertip on his glabella, “Resist?”

“Die!”

At this moment, the Fourth Elder finally understood why the Grand Elder and others had submitted to this person.

This person, despite his young age, was decisive in killing and exuded an overwhelming Aura. If one did not submit, there was only death, or a fate worse than death.

“I… submit!”

The Fourth Elder lowered his arrogant head, his heart struggling immensely.

Soon, the Fourth Elder also had the Dao Heart Demon Seed planted.

Qin Tian looked at the Fifth Elder beside him.

The Fifth Elder sighed, “Alas! Alas, with the general trend, this old man can only go with the flow.”

The Fifth Elder did not resist, and Qin Tian instantly planted the Dao Heart Demon Seed deep within his Soul.

By now, all five Elders of the Heavenly Demon Sect, the Madam, and the Saintess were now his people.

He could now take the position of Sect Master at any time. At this moment, he had become the sole authority of the Heavenly Demon Sect; all high-ranking officials were under his control.

“Grand Elder, what Nascent Soul Realm are the three Elders at?”

“Replying to Young Master, the Third Elder is at Nascent Soul Seventh Layer.”

“The Fourth Elder is at Nascent Soul Sixth Layer.”

“The Fifth Elder is at Nascent Soul Sixth Layer.”

Qin Tian shook his head. Such cultivation was definitely no match for the six affiliated forces. Even if each sect only had one Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator, the Heavenly Demon Sect still couldn't withstand them.

With a wave of his hand, three jade bottles appeared, each containing one hundred Gathering Spirit Pills.

“You three shall take these Medicinal Pills to Cultivate until your cultivation reaches Nascent Soul Peak.”

“Yes, Young Master!” The three Elders bowed.

Soon, the three Elders took the Gathering Spirit Pills one by one, as if they were eating candy.

If outsiders saw these three consuming Gathering Spirit Pills in such a manner, their jaws would probably drop.

......

Half an hour later.

All three Elders Breakthrough to Nascent Soul Peak.

Their Aura was slightly unstable, but it would be fine after they stabilized their cultivation.

However, by cultivating so madly, their future achievements would at most stop at the Huashen Realm.

Now that all five Elders were at Nascent Soul Peak, he finally had some confidence.

“You five shall inform everyone that tomorrow I will inherit the position of Heavenly Demon Sect Master. No preparations are needed, just ensure everyone is present.”

“If there are any disobedient, kill them!”

“Those who gossip, kill them!”

“Yes, Young Master.”

......

The next day.

Heavenly Demon Sect, Heavenly Demon Square.

A dense crowd filled the entire Heavenly Demon Square.

A group of Heavenly Demon Sect Disciples stood below the stage, discussing animatedly.

“Hey, did you hear? Yesterday, many Disciples in the sect were executed.” A round-faced fatty whispered to his Junior Brother beside him.

“Hmph, this new Sect Master is too vicious! My Junior Brother just said, ‘What is Qin Tian? How can he become the Sect Master?’ and he was immediately arrested by the Law Enforcement Hall and executed!”

“Shush!”

“Are you looking for death? Aren't you afraid of being overheard?”

“Hmph, let them hear! Death is not a big deal! With such a cruel Sect Master, who knows, you might be executed for talking in your sleep someday!”

The round-faced fatty looked around, saw no one was paying attention, and quickly moved aside, distancing himself from his Junior Brother.

The square was filled with discussions and arguments. Some had bloodshot eyes, while others gloated.

......

Qin Tian wore a black python robe and a black jade crown, his gaze cold, exuding an Aura of majesty and nobility, like an emperor looking down on all beings.

He sat in the center of the high platform in the square, with the enchanting Zhao Yan'er and the Saintess Yang Menglan on his left and right, and the five Elders on his side.

At this moment, Yang Menglan, though veiled, could not hide the inherent charm that emanated from her. Especially after being developed and Awakening her Heavenly Charm Body, her single glance seemed to possess a magical power that captivated the Soul.

Qin Tian's gaze swept over the crowd, taking everyone in.

He looked at the Grand Elder beside him, and the Grand Elder nodded knowingly.

The Grand Elder came to the front of the stage and loudly addressed the Disciples below, “Recently, the Sect Master was harmed by a treacherous person, leaving the sect without a leader. After deliberation by the Elders, it has been decided to establish Qin Tian as the 36th generation Sect Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect.”

“Currently, the six major affiliated sects are eyeing us covetously and preparing to rebel. After pacifying the six sects, the Sect Master's succession ceremony will be held.”

“Why?! He's only at Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer cultivation! My Senior Brother is at Foundation Establishment Realm Peak! Why can he be the Sect Master? We refuse to accept this!”

“Yes, we refuse to accept.”

The Disciples below were filled with righteous indignation.

Although they had known this outcome yesterday, announcing it in such a solemn square still made them very angry.

Today was the auspicious day for the Sect Master's succession, and with so many people present, they didn't believe Qin Tian would truly dare to kill them all.

Qin Tian's eyes turned cold. He came to the front of the stage and looked at the dozen or so people who were leading the uproar.

“Take them down.”

Soon, people from the Law Enforcement Hall rushed down to the stage and seized the group of a dozen or so people.

“Why? Why are you arresting me? I'm just speaking the truth!” The skinny youth roared.

Qin Tian slowly spoke, “Kill them!”

“Pfft.”

“Pfft.”

The heads of a dozen Disciples rolled, and blood splattered.

“Ah!”

A group of female Disciples, seeing the new Sect Master kill at will, trembled all over and broke out in cold sweat.

A group of male Disciples were also stunned by the scene before them, quickly shutting their mouths, fearing they would be the next to be targeted.

The round-faced fatty standing nearby felt his scalp tingle, secretly thinking how lucky he was. Fortunately, he had kept some distance from his Junior Brother earlier, otherwise, he might have been implicated by that hothead.

“Ding, congratulations to the Host for instilling fear in the crowd, gaining 100 Villain Points.”

“Ding, congratulations to the Host for instilling fear in the crowd, gaining 100 Villain Points.”

Feeling the System prompts constantly ringing, his heart was filled with joy.

In just a short while, over two hundred thousand points had been credited, which surprised him.

He looked at the Disciples below and loudly declared, “I'll tell everyone why I can become the Sect Master!”

“Because my name is Qin Tian.”

“From now on, I am the Heaven of the Heavenly Demon Sect! Those who obey me shall prosper, those who defy me shall perish!”

“At the Peak of Immortals, I stand above the world, where Qin Tian is, there is Heaven!”

Qin Tian's Aura exploded outwards, exuding an overwhelming dominance, like an emperor's wrath that could cause thousands of corpses to float for miles.

Everyone was awestruck by this Aura, their minds momentarily dazed.

Zhao Yan'er and Yang Menglan looked at the domineering Qin Tian, their beautiful eyes shining brightly.

Yang Menglan touched the heavenly demon token in her embrace, thinking to herself, “I’ll give him the heavenly demon token after the crisis is resolved.”
