Of course, the Five Elders of the Middle Ages only withdrew from the historical stage, they did not die.
They simply couldn't compare to the strength of those overlords who had Heavenly Venerables overseeing them.
Compared to other forces, they are still top-tier powerhouses.
The appearance of Ancestor Luo Yun quickly caused a sensation.
Those great gods and demons who already had the idea of taking sides were ignited with ambition upon seeing his appearance.
After all, among the four founding forces of the alliance, the Buddhist sect, the Hidden Dust sect, the Star Palace, and the Pantheon sect have the greatest influence.
Other forces can only rely on one of the four factions.
However, relying on these four forces has a major problem: it is very difficult to enter the core circle.
It's a very simple principle: these four forces are already full of powerful individuals, and the arrival of powerful outsiders is merely icing on the cake.
But if we join forces with Ancestor Luo Yun, things will be different.
Although the Five Elders of the Middle Ages are famous, they are basically reclusive figures.
Even the most active patriarch, Luo Yun, never managed to develop his own power.
If one could join them, their status would be completely different from joining any of the four factions.
"Greetings, Ancestor Luo Yun!"
Soon, a great Luo god or demon stepped forward to pay his respects.
"Fellow Daoists, there's no need for such formalities!"
Ancestor Luo Yun returned the greetings one by one, but did not leave immediately.
After he rode the crane out of the teleportation array, another beam of light shot into the sky from within the array.
This scene caused all the surrounding great gods and demons to hold their breath.
A single thought, like a burning weed, can quickly spread and become uncontrollable.
The Five Elders of the Middle Ages, they wouldn't all come together, would they?
Soon, a chilling wind blew from the pillar of light.
Even the most powerful gods and demons couldn't help but shudder.
When the beam of light dissipated, a boy with red lips and white teeth walked out.
The boy was dressed in a pure white Taoist robe, and looked just like a Taoist boy in a painting.
But he was carrying a strangely shaped staff.
The staff was entirely grayish-white, like weathered bones.
It was covered with a layer of cloth, and the gusts of cold wind blew in from the cloth.
If you listen carefully, you can faintly hear the mournful howls in the eerie wind.
The crowd's gazes gradually turned serious.
The legend became reality at this moment.
Among the Five Elders of the Middle Ages, there was a Taoist named Gui.
He was a virgin and had a fondness for killing.
It possesses the magical treasure, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, whose foundation is white bones.
Within the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls, there are only ten thousand ghosts.
But these ten thousand ghosts had devoured countless living souls.
The starry sky suddenly became deserted.
The great gods and demons looked at each other, but none of them took the initiative to greet each other.
"Does nobody recognize the old Taoist priest?"
The boy-like Taoist priest sighed softly, his gaze sweeping across the starry sky.
Those great demons and gods who were swept by him were even more frightened, and they all bowed and saluted, "Greetings, Senior!"
It's not that they don't want to be addressed by their Taoist titles, it's just that it's difficult to pronounce the Taoist titles of ghost Taoists.
If you call out "Senior Ghost Taoist," you might just become a ghost yourself someday.
Among the Five Elders of the Middle Ages, Ghost Taoist was notorious for his ruthlessness.
"What a pity!"
The Taoist priest did not return the greeting; he just kept shaking his head.
He felt a little regretful.
After all, these great gods and demons present are the perfect materials for the Myriad Soul Banner.
If only we could invite a few of them in.
At the same time, a third beam of light appeared.
The great demon in the starry sky was now even more certain of the thought in his mind.
The Five Elders of the Middle Ages have been born!
A blinding golden light appeared from the teleportation array.
A three-headed dragon appeared, pulling a golden chariot.
On the golden chariot, a divine being holds a long spear.
Great Sun God.
One of the Five Elders of the Middle Ages.
A powerful being at the ninth level of the Divine Demon realm.
"Greetings, Senior Great Sun God!"
Compared to the Ghost Daoist, the Great Sun God appears significantly more imposing.
That is indeed the case.
Although the Five Elders of the Middle Ages were equally famous, their combat strength varied.
The Great Sun God-King remains firmly in second place.
The fourth beam of light followed closely behind, filling the air with the fragrance of medicine.
Master Lingyao.
One of the Five Elders of the Middle Ages.
A powerful expert from the Ninth Heaven of the Great Luo Realm.
The last person had cascading black hair and walked barefoot in the starry sky.
He was dressed in animal skins, and his suffocating ferocity was palpable.
The Five Elders of the Middle Ages were undoubtedly the strongest, and one of the pioneers of the ancient era.
The Barbarian King, the rider of all beasts, an immortal being who once fought against the God of War of the Celestials.
"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Barbarian King!"
Ancestor Luo Yun, Ghost Daoist, and Master Lingyao all bowed in respect.
Even the Great Sun God on the chariot nodded slightly.
As for the other Great Luo Gods and Demons, there's naturally no need to say more.
"Greetings, Barbarian King!"
......
Four figures sat in the central hall.
These four are the four people currently in charge of the alliance.
The two seats in the Pantheon are held by the Void Kun and the Starry Beast.
One seat in the Star Palace, the Star Lord.
Dust hides a seat, yet it overturns the heavens.
Of the four founding forces of the alliance, only the leader of the Buddhist sect was nowhere to be found.
At this moment, light and shadow flowed in the center of the main hall.
The image of the Five Elders of the Middle Ages appearing was projected onto everyone's faces.
"Damn it, how did those five old bastards reappear in the world?!"
The Void Kun looked displeased.
More than anything, it was fear.
The Five Elders of the Middle Ages represent five beings at the ninth level of the Great Luo Heaven.
In terms of cultivation level, there is no difference between them.
Even disregarding combat strength, their numbers, including those of the Buddhist sect, are only roughly equal.
Although the four major forces are full of powerful figures, judging from the current situation, there will definitely be many opportunists who will defect to the Five Elders of the Middle Ages.
At that time, the balance of power could be reversed in an instant.
"It's alright, it's not necessarily a bad thing!"
A glint flashed in the Star Lord's eyes as he said unhurriedly, "The complexity of the current situation has exceeded our expectations."
The Buddhist sect is at war with Brahma and the Black Dragon Clan behind him, and is temporarily unable to allocate its forces.
The fall of Yuan Zhi, Yi Shan, and many other Great Luo Gods and Demons on the front lines demonstrates that the power of that being from the Chaotic Ancient Domain has already spread.
The fact that all thirteen decapitation squads, including the weakest one from the fifth day of the Great Luo Alliance, failed simultaneously is a very clear signal.
In addition, with the signals being spread by people like Xu Fu and Lan Xiangzi, the alliance is actually in a state of panic.
The appearance of the Five Elders is a good thing for the Alliance.
They want to be in charge, so we'll give them five seats.
They want to rule over all the powerful figures, so let's tell them about our current difficulties.
Let them go to the front lines and fight against Ba Dao Li Fan, while we take the opportunity to consolidate our control over the domains we now possess.”
"Will they listen to us?"
The Void Kun raised a question, saying, "If they have the initiative, they might just send us to the front lines while they develop in the rear?"
"Won't!"
The Star Lord shook his head and said, "The fact that the Five Elders of the Middle Ages were able to retire at the height of their fame already speaks volumes."
Their fear of ancient overlords like Buddhism and the Black Dragon Clan is ingrained in their very bones.
If given the choice, they would absolutely not choose to confront Buddhism and the Black Dragon Clan directly.
"Then why should we choose the rear?"
The Void Kun was even more puzzled, "Shouldn't we be avoiding the Buddhist sect and the Black Dragon clan even more?"
Why avoid it?
"Since we know that the Buddhist sect and the Black Dragon clan will have a battle."
"Since we know that Brahma is on his way to the Realm of Immortality."
"Then why don't we take the risk and gather our forces to take down both sides?"
"The secrets they hold will be the stepping stones for us to advance to the Heavenly Venerable realm."
The moment the Star Lord uttered these words, the hall fell into a deathly silence.
