Asserting control - 3!

"Four!"

At this moment, the Shadow Veil Sect Leader raised his hand. The other sect leaders looked at him with bewildered expressions. He was the last person they expected to raise his hand, given the pride he had.

"Three!"

"Two!"

Noticing that it was the last second, the other four sect leaders also raised their hands in a hurry. If Shadow Veil Sect Leader chose to do so, he must've thought something, right?

They knew that he was more experienced and intelligent compared to them so they decided to follow his decision.

"One!"

"Alright, since all of you are ready to submit to His Highness, there is no need for any hostility between us. Chen Lu, help the esteemed sect leaders ingest this insect!"

"Yes, Sect Leader!" Chen Lu said with a bow before leading the other elders with one insect in each of their hands.

Ashen looked at this scene with a satisfied smile while looking back on his plan.
