Meng Jing nodded slowly.
As the head of the Inherited Elders, Cheng Yuan would usually discuss with him if there was anything important. He knew about the existence of the arcane realm and Zheng Da and the others. He knew that they were powerful masters but they were still lacking compared to Wu Yuansi and were defeated by Wu Yuansi.
Therefore, he knew how powerful Zheng Da and the others were and how powerful Chu Li was. Sentimental.
Chu Li said, "It's a pity that Sect Leader Cheng died in their hands because the arcane realm can hide from the heavens, so …"
He shook his head as he spoke with a sorrowful look as if he was a fox mourning the death of a rabbit.
When he disappeared in front of Zheng Da and the others, he did not really leave. Once he left the arcane realm, he had nothing to fear even if Zheng Da and the others had many people. Therefore, he hid in the dark and saw Cheng Yuan die in their hands.
He originally wanted to save Cheng Yuan, but in an instant, he saw the dense killing intent in Cheng Yuan's mind. It was far deeper than he had imagined. There was anger towards him snatching the Divine Demon Herb back then, and new and old grudges accumulated together. He wished he could kill him immediately.
Therefore, he changed his mind and let Cheng Yuan be killed by Zheng Er and the others. He actually felt a sense of joy in his heart.
However, Cheng Yuan's death was only the first step. Great Dream Sect's ambition would not change. No matter which sect leader it was, they would continue to want to unify the Heavenly Demonic Realm. Therefore, they would use him as a stumbling block and eliminate him.
Therefore, he wanted to see who would become the sect leader and use Zheng Da's head to build a good relationship and buy time for himself.
When the disciples of Flying Heaven Sect increased their strength, it would not be Great Dream Sect that would unify the Heavenly Demonic Realm but Flying Heaven Sect. Great Dream Sect would be the stumbling block.
Chu Li sighed. "Sect Leader Cheng was too careless. I didn't expect them to suddenly leave the arcane realm. The news we received was that they were in isolated cultivation to deal with me."
Meng Jing frowned and did not say anything.
He did not completely believe Chu Li's words but there was nothing wrong with them.
He knew that Cheng Yuan had always treated Wu Yuansi as an opponent and secretly played tricks on him. However, Wu Yuansi did not have the intention to go against Great Dream Sect and had always treated him sincerely. This made him feel guilty.
Nevertheless, he still had to do it. He had been discussing with Cheng Yuan how to plot against Wu Yuansi. He wanted to use Zheng Da and the others to kill him.
Unfortunately, Cheng Yuan died before it could be done.
Yi Qingsong shook his head and sighed, "Brother Wu, I can't be the sect master."
Chu Li asked, "Why is that?"
He smiled again and said, "Your identity is indeed a big problem, but everything must be Yin and Yang. There are advantages and disadvantages, and there are disadvantages and advantages."
Yi Qingsong smiled bitterly. "What benefits?"
Chu Li said, "You're an Asura. Although this is a problem, it's also an advantage. You understand Asuras better, so you'll be able to make use of them. Moreover, once you become the sect leader, your cultivation level will improve greatly. Then, you'll be able to kill Asuras for real."
"It's just a legend. You can't take it seriously." Yi Qingsong shook his head.
Chu Li said, "The legend might not be untrue. Brother Yi, you can give it a try after you become the sect leader."
He could not wait for Yi Qingsong to become the Sect Leader. With their friendship, they could really work together to deal with the Tianfeng Sect, unlike how he and Cheng Yuan schemed and guarded against each other.
Even if Yi Qingsong still used him as a stumbling block after becoming the sect leader, he would not be as cunning as Cheng Yuan. Yi Qingsong's mind was not as cunning, so he was easier to deal with.
Meng Jing said, "What Sect Leader Wu said makes sense. Maybe it's because of this that the ancestors chose you. … Qingsong, stop fooling around!"
Chu Li said slowly, "Brother Yi, as a man, you should be brave enough to shoulder the responsibility. Your aptitude has been rare for thousands of years. How can you be willing to be a normal person? Why can't you become the strongest sect leader in the history of the Great Dream Sect?"
Meng Jing looked impressed. "Qingsong, your aptitude is indeed rare."
Yi Qingsong looked at the people around him.
By then, everyone had already reacted. Seeing how Elder Meng thought so highly of him, and seeing how Chu Li thought so highly of him, they inexplicably changed their minds.
Among them, a large number of disciples who were not the direct disciples of the Great Dream Sect came to a realization and decided to support Yi Qingsong as the sect leader. If a non-heavenly demon could become the sect leader, they naturally had hope.
From then on, the direct disciples of the Great Dream Sect would not be so arrogant, and their lives would be much better.
"Junior Brother Yi, even if the patriarchs have chosen you, you should accept this position without hesitation. Don't decline it!" Someone shouted.
"Yes, yes …" Everyone agreed.
Yi Qingsong was touched. He did not think that there would be people who supported him to be the sect leader.
Meng Jing said, "Qingsong!"
"Alright," Yi Qingsong nodded slowly. "Then I will follow the instructions of the ancestors!"
Meng Jing let out a smile. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he really did not want to force Yi Qingsong to be the sect leader. If word got out, he would become a big joke.
Of course, if Yi Qingsong had not thought it through by then, he would not care even if he became a joke. He had to follow the instructions of the ancestors.
Chu Li closed fist saluted and smiled. "Then congratulations, Brother Yi. You should now be called Sect Leader Yi."
"Thank you, Sect Leader Wu," Yi Qingsong smiled.
He suddenly felt that being the sect leader was not bad after all. With power in his hands, his words were the law, and no one could disobey him.
"Good! Great! "Chu Li laughed and said," Then this head will be my gift to you. "
"Thank you, Sect Leader Wu!" Yi Qingsong closed fist saluted.
Meng Jing extended his hand.
Yi Qingsong slowly walked to the front of the basilica. Two elders walked out of the basilica. They held two books respectfully and handed them to Yi Qingsong.
Yi Qingsong took them, flipped through them, and nodded slowly.
Meng Jing took the jade bracelet from Yi Qingsong's hand and put it on Yi Qingsong's left ring finger. He said solemnly, "The ceremony is complete. Greetings, Sect Leader!"
He closed fist saluted. The elders behind him closed fist saluted and bowed. The disciples saw the elders bowing respectfully and could only salute.
Yi Qingsong looked at everyone and closed fist saluted back.
Meng Jing said, "Sect Leader, we will tell you all the important things in the sect. There are still some important things that you need to decide on."
"Alright, thank you, Elder Meng," Yi Qingsong said.
He had just become the sect leader and was still ignorant. He needed someone to assist him. Obviously, it was Elder Meng who would assist him. There was still a long way to go, so he could not rush to show his authority as the sect leader.
Meng Jing closed fist saluted and said to Chu Li, "Sect Leader Wu is the only one from the outer sect to attend the ceremony. If you have nothing else to do, please come to my sect."
Chu Li smiled. "I still have something to do, so I won't disturb you any longer. I will visit you in a few days and discuss about the arcane realm."
"Alright." Yi Qingsong nodded.
He had just become the sect leader and felt diffident. However, Wu Yuansi was different. He was young but already a prestigious sect leader. It was best to ask him for advice. Chu Li smiled.
He closed fist saluted and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Meng Jing turned his head and waved his hand. "Everyone, disperse."
He and Yi Qingsong entered the basilica and invited Yi Qingsong to the main seat. He said, "Sect Leader, be careful of Wu Yuansi!"
"Huh?" Yi Qingsong was stunned.
