The head of the Earth Serpent Tribe was just about to walk away when he heard the man shout and stopped in his tracks, turning his head toward the source of the cry.

It was one of the tribesmen donning a black outfit, his green pupils shining out from his eyes. Noticing that the crowd had turned to look at him, he straightened his chest and stood out from the crowd as he announced loudly, "My chief, this lowly one is Kang Tai. Three years ago, I had already achieved the post of mid-rank Demon Commander, yet this Qing Cang had only reached the early stage of Demon Commander rank. Now, I am not questioning the eligibility of the first nine of my brothers, but this lowly one refuses to accept Qing Cang's claimed legitimacy."

The chief spied Master An at the side upon hearing this, but said nothing.
