He was already dead, but Zheng Er and the others did not stop there. Like nineteen gales, they swept over and once again sent Cheng Yuan flying into the air. They did not let go of his corpse, and with the force of their palms, they forcefully smashed Cheng Yuan into a pile of meat paste.
Without the protection of the Divine Protection Technique, Cheng Yuan's corpse was no harder than a rock under Zheng Er and the others' palms. Even his bones were turned into powder.
"Ah!" Zheng Er roared.
They had been trapped in the arcane realm for ten thousand years. The twenty-four brothers depended on each other and had a deep bond. Especially Zheng Da, as the eldest senior brother, he was fair and strict and was deeply supported by them.
This time, they wanted to do something earth-shattering and unify the entire Heavenly Demonic Realm so that they would not be trapped in the arcane realm for ten thousand years.
Although they had lived for ten thousand years, which was far longer than the lifespan of ordinary people, being trapped in the arcane realm was no different from being imprisoned. No matter how beautiful the scenery was, it was still a great torture. They were like prisoners who had to achieve the most amazing feat to make up for their suffering.
However, before they could achieve their great feat, their eldest senior brother had already fallen. His head was taken away and could never be resurrected. No matter how mysterious the arcane realm was, it was impossible to resurrect their eldest senior brother. This made them angry and frustrated. They wanted to tear Chu Li into powder.
However, Chu Li was cunning and had already disappeared without a trace. They wanted to vent their anger first and Cheng Yuan was killed by them.
At this time, in the distant Great Dream Sect, a bell suddenly rang in the Sect Leader's basilica. The melodious bell rang through the entire Great Dream Sect. All the disciples heard it clearly. When they heard it rang six times in one go, their faces changed.
They all knew what the six bell rings meant. The sect leader had fallen and a new sect leader had taken the position.
They all came out of their courtyards and came to the front of the basilica. They stared at the basilica in disbelief.
Thirty-six elders in green robes with golden embroidery on their sleeves rushed in. Everyone made way for them to enter the basilica. After a while, they came out with solemn faces and nodded slowly.
One of the elders in green robes said, "The sect leader has indeed fallen!"
"Impossible!"
Everyone cried out.
In their eyes, not only was the sect leader's cultivation level unfathomable, but he was also full of schemes. More importantly, his prediction skills were unparalleled in the world. Therefore, it was almost impossible for him to encounter real danger.
They had never thought that there would be a day when their Sect Master would perish, and that the one who died would be the other party, not their Sect Master.
Yi Qingsong was also in the crowd with a look of disbelief on his face.
He couldn't believe that the sect leader would die so suddenly. He felt like he was playing a joke on everyone. It was just too strange. He had a heaven shocking cultivation and was proficient in divination. How could he die so silently?
He said in a low voice, "Elder Meng, who killed the Sect Master?"
Elder Meng, Meng Jing, who had spoken earlier, shook his head and said, "I can't!"
"How is that possible!" Yi Qingsong said loudly: "Sect Master has the Sect Master's Ring, how could he not be able to deduce it?"
"I've been deceived." Meng Jing shook his head and sighed, "If it weren't for this, the Sovereign wouldn't have taken such a risk. Everyone, disperse for now. The new Sovereign will be chosen in three days. We can take revenge after the new Sovereign is chosen."
Everyone shook their heads and stood outside the main hall, refusing to leave.
Meng Jing said in a deep voice, "Now we know nothing about Sect Leader Cheng's death, but the most important thing now is to find a new Sect Leader. This is the iron rule of the Da Meng Clan, the new Sect Leader will be chosen by Heaven."
Yi Qingsong said, "Elder Meng, I will withdraw from the Heaven's Chosen."
Meng Jing humphed and said, "All disciples of the eighteenth generation and above must participate in the Heaven's Chosen. There are no exceptions. Qingsong, you are the same!"
"But …" Yi Qingsong frowned.
He was an Asura, how could he become the Sect Leader of the Da Meng Clan? Plus, the Heaven's Chosen would never choose him. He might as well give up and show everyone his true intentions.
Even though the Asura Realm had become more peaceful and did not like to kill as much as before, he still had to be cautious.
"There is no need to say more. The Heaven's Chosen has begun." Meng Jing said in a deep voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, three skinny elders walked out of the main hall. They were all wearing green robes with golden threads embroidered on the edges. The golden threads were longer than the ones on Meng Jing's sleeves. One of the skinny elders was holding a purple wooden box, while the other two elders were holding two jade boxes.
The purple wooden box was placed on a high platform to the side. On the platform was an altar, and on the altar were the memorial tablets of the ancestors. The purple wooden box was placed in front of the memorial tablets, and then it was slowly opened.
A green bead the size of a fist appeared in front of everyone. It looked like it was carved out of green jade, but it was a normal piece of jade, dull and without any light.
They immediately became solemn. This was the Eye of Heaven's Secret, the treasure of the Da Meng Clan. The divination techniques of the Da Meng Clan were compatible with the Eye of Heaven's Secret, and there was nothing it could not calculate.
The two skinny elders also placed the two jade boxes on the side. After opening them, they found jade pendants one after another. They were all thumb-sized, sparkling and warm, as if spring water was flowing within them.
These warm little jade pendants were engraved with characters. They were the names of the eighteenth and seventeenth generation disciples. All the disciples' seals were here, and not a single one was left out. This was the symbol of their status.
The three skinny elders glanced at everyone, their eyes like lightning. Everyone could not help but lower their heads.
"The Heavenly Selection ceremony is about to begin." The skinny elder at the front slowly said, "All the disciples have witnessed with their own eyes the accidental death of the previous sect master. There is no point in grieving. All the disciples should rouse their spirits and avenge him."
The crowd loudly assented.
He raised his head to the sky, where the blazing sun was shining overhead. He sighed, "Then let us invite the ancestors and gods to choose the next sect master!"
As he spoke, he lightly pressed down on the green ball.
The other two patted his back. Four palms pressed against his back. His green robe fluttered like an inflated balloon. Then, it slowly flattened, and the originally dim green ball slowly glowed.
The glow grew brighter and brighter, and the three skinny elders grew paler and paler. Steam rose from their heads like boiling water. Everyone could see how strained they were and were somewhat worried that they would not be able to hold on.
Swish! A pillar of light soared into the sky, shooting out from the green ball and illuminating the sky like a hole. A hole also appeared in the white clouds in the sky, as if the pillar of light had pierced through them.
"Ding ding ding …" The small jade pendant in the jade box let out a clear ringing sound. Then, it gently floated up, like a young swallow returning to the forest, and flew into the light pillar. Following the light pillar, it seemed like a feather riding the wind.
At a height of one hundred meters, they stopped and began to roil within the pillar of light, growing brighter and brighter.
Dingdingding … dingdingding …
With a clear ring, the jade pendants shattered, turning into powder that slowly drifted down the pillar of light. Ultimately, only one jade pendant remained floating motionlessly within the pillar of light. Moreover, as it absorbed the light of the pillar, it grew brighter and brighter.
The pillar of light grew fainter and fainter until it was completely absorbed into the jade pendant. The jade pendant also gradually melted, condensing into a green jade ring. With a whoosh, it flew into the crowd and landed in Yi Qingsong's hand.
Yi Qingsong blankly held the jade ring.
The crowd abruptly moved aside, leaving the area ten meters around him empty.
