Meng Jing didn't move, he just stared at Yi Qingsong.
He couldn't believe this result. He was too surprised. No matter what, he didn't expect the chosen one to be Yi Qingsong. Yi Qingsong's identity was too sensitive. The Patriarch of the Great Dream Martial School could be any disciple of the Great Dream Martial School, but not him.
After all, he was an Asura, not a Sky Demon. How could he be the leader of Great Dream Faction?
It was unbelievable that someone who wasn't a Sky Demon could become the leader of the number one faction in the Sky Demon Realm.
Everyone stared at him in shock. They couldn't believe the jade bracelet on his hand.
They also had the same thoughts. This was simply unimaginable.
"This … this …?" Yi Qingsong felt like he was holding a hot potato. He almost wanted to throw the jade bracelet away.
The jade bracelet was simple and ancient. It was like it had been through a long time, and no one dared to look down on it.
Meng Jing's emotions were complicated, but his skinny face was solemn. He glanced at the crowd coldly and snorted. "The One Chosen by Heaven has appeared, and this is our new Faction Master. He was chosen by the patriarch of the Upper Heaven. Is there anyone who disagrees?"
"Elder Meng, we all agree. But Junior Martial Brother Yi becoming the leader … I don't think it's appropriate?" A middle-aged man cupped his hands and said hesitantly.
Meng Jing stared at him and said, "So, you are doubting the choice of our ancestors?"
"Of course not!" The middle-aged man waved his hands and looked embarrassed. "Our ancestors are wiser than us, but …"
"Humph! Just because Qing Song is not a Skyscraping Demon, you think that those who are not of our race will have different intentions? You are afraid that after Qing Song becomes the Patriarch, he will side with the Asura Realm and harm the interests of the Great Dream Sect?"
The middle-aged man said, "Of course we believe in Junior Martial Brother Yi. But his identity is special. Most importantly, he won't be able to improve quickly. We are afraid that it will harm our reputation."
"You think Qingsong's cultivation is too low?" Meng Jing said coldly.
"Yes." The middle-aged man nodded.
He was actually worried that the Great Dream Clan would be harmed. After all, they were Asuras. No matter how much they hated Asuras, their bloodline was undeniable. They were innately close, different from the Sky Demons. Those who were not of the same race would have different intentions.
However, these words could not be said out loud. Otherwise, it would be an insult to Yi Qingsong and they would become mortal enemies.
Meng Jing snorted and said, "You don't have to worry about that. Once you become the Sect Leader, you will naturally have the Sect Leader's secret technique and improve by leaps and bounds. In just a few days, you will become the number one. Furthermore, Qing Song's aptitude is extremely good, so he will definitely become a supreme expert."
"Then this disciple has nothing to say." The middle-aged man cupped his fists and said no more.
Under Meng Jing's covetous gaze, the surrounding people swallowed their worries. Elder Meng was also a clever person. Since he supported Yi Qingsong to become the Sovereign, it would be useless for them to oppose him. Moreover, they could also rest assured.
Furthermore, this was the Heaven's Chosen Sect Leader, and the Heaven's Chosen had never made a mistake.
They only found it hard to believe, which was why they wanted to voice their doubts. However, after being pressured by Meng Jing, they became obedient.
Meng Jing glanced at the crowd and said in a deep voice, "Does anyone else have any doubts about this Sect Master candidate?"
"Elder Meng, I disagree!" Yi Qingsong raised his hand.
The crowd instantly looked over.
Meng Jing frowned and said in a deep voice, "Qing Song, what do you disagree with?"
Yi Qingsong shook his head, "I cannot be the Sect Leader."
"Why?" Meng Jing asked in a deep voice.
Yi Qingsong let out a sigh and said, "I will never forget the kindness and trust of our ancestors. But please forgive me for disobeying your orders. I cannot be the Sect Leader. How can I be the Sect Leader without talent or virtue?"
"Heaven chose you to be the Sect Leader, so you are the Sect Leader!" Meng Jing said in a deep voice.
Yi Qingsong shook his head, "I am indebted to the ancestors' trust, but I do not want the Great Dream Sect to become the laughingstock of all the other sects. The Great Dream Sect is so prestigious, how can we let an Asura become the Sect Leader?"
"So what if he is an Asura, so what if he is a Sky Demon, so what if he is a Celestial? As long as he cultivates the martial arts of the Great Dream Sect, he will be a disciple of the Great Dream Sect!" Meng Jing said slowly, "As long as he is loyal to the Great Dream Sect, he will be a loyal disciple of the Great Dream Sect, no matter where he comes from!"
These words made everyone's blood boil.
Among them, there was no lack of talents recruited by Cheng Yuan. They were not from the Great Dream Sect, so their backgrounds were complicated. After becoming a disciple of the Great Dream Sect, they always felt a little lacking in confidence.
Now that they heard Meng Jing's words, they felt that they had spoken the truth.
Yi Qingsong sighed, "Thank you, Elder Meng. No matter what, I cannot be the Sect Leader!"
"Heaven chose you to be the Sect Leader, even if you don't want to be!" Meng Jing said in a deep voice.
Yi Qingsong smiled bitterly, "Elder Meng, I know I am not up to the task, please forgive me!"
"Hmph, don't tell me you want me to restrain you and tie you up? No matter what, you must be the Sect Leader!" Meng Jing said.
Yi Qingsong shook his head.
Meng Jing's face darkened, he said coldly, "What do you think the Sect Leader's position is? Men!"
Two middle-aged men stepped forward and closed fist saluted.
Meng Jing said, "Restrain him!"
Yi Qingsong quickly said, "Elder Meng, why bother!"
"No matter what, you must be the Sect Leader today!" Meng Jing said, "The Ancestral Masters' orders cannot be disobeyed. Qingsong, don't forget, Sect Leader Cheng is still waiting to be avenged. If you delay any longer, I'm afraid the time for revenge will be gone!"
"Sigh …" Yi Qingsong shook his head.
Meng Jing said, "Must you resist until the end?"
Yi Qingsong sighed, "I cannot agree!"
"Do it!" Meng Jing said coldly.
The two middle-aged men pounced on Yi Qingsong. Yi Qingsong wanted to escape, but the two middle-aged men moved like ghosts and surrounded him. Before he could do anything, they had already restrained him.
Although his cultivation level was not weak, in front of the two middle-aged men, he was like a child in front of an adult.
The two men carried him to Meng Jing.
Meng Jing glanced at the other 35 Elders and said, "Junior Brothers, do you have any objections?"
The 35 Elders shook their heads slowly and did not say a word.
Although they felt that it was strange and inappropriate, since it was the Ancestral Masters' decision, they could not be wrong. They just had to follow it.
"Clap clap!" The crisp sound of a slap was heard. Everyone looked up and saw Chu Li standing in the air with a severed head in his hand. It was Zheng Da's severed head, and it looked very lifelike.
"Wu Yuansi!" Someone shouted.
The rest of the Elders' expressions changed. They stared at him and were on high alert.
Meng Jing's expression became even worse. He stared coldly at Chu Li.
Chu Li fist saluted and smiled, "Congratulations, Brother Yi, for becoming the Sect Leader of Great Dream Sect!"
Yi Qingsong could not move his body. He could only move his mouth. He smiled bitterly, "Brother Wu, please don't make fun of me."
Chu Li sighed, "I'm sincerely congratulating you. This is the head of the Elders of Tianfeng Sect, Zheng Da. Take it as me avenging Sect Leader Cheng."
He tossed Zheng Da's severed head over.
Meng Jing waved his sleeve and the severed head landed at his feet. He looked at it and said, "Sect Leader Wu, is this the head of the Elders of Tianfeng Sect?"
Chu Li said, "Sect Leader Cheng must have mentioned this before. Among the old demons that came out of the Tianfeng Sect's secret realm, he is the Eldest Brother."
