In a short while, the battle was decided. Jiang Baili looked at the spear that had pierced his chest, his face full of disbelief and resentment. He had actually lost in a contest of spearmanship.

Chen Jie looked at Jiang Baili and said, "Although I don't use a gun often, I was once a master of marksmanship!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Baili looked at the hole in his chest and said, "You win!"

Chen Jie looked at Jiang Baili and said, "Your gun is better than mine, can you give it to me?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Baili looked at the Crimson Dragon in his hand and said, "A fine spear should be given to a good person. I'll give it to you."

Jiang Baili reluctantly handed the spear in his hand to Chen Jie. Chen Jie took it and placed it in his hand, feeling a burning sensation emanating from the spear.

"What a gun!"

Chen Jie praised it and then put it in his pocket. This gun was definitely a treasure. Chen Jie looked at Li Fang and said, "Let him be given a proper burial."

After all, he was the one who gave him a good gun, and Chen Jie didn't want him to suffer too much humiliation. At least he should be given some respect after death, which would be a way for him to repay the favor of giving him the gun.

After speaking, Chen Jie held the Crimson Dragon Spear, and Li Fang waved his hand. Naturally, someone dealt with Jiang Baili's body, and he had already entered the prison. At this time, the soldiers inside the prison wanted to rush up, but they were directly controlled by Li Fang and the Jiuli people.

Soon, Chen Jie arrived at the Western King's prison with a long spear in hand.

This was their first meeting. Separated by the prison cell, they exchanged a glance. The Western King looked at Chen Jie and asked, "Chen Jiu Si?"

Chen Jie clasped his hands in greeting and said, "King of the West."

The Western King looked at Chen Jie and chuckled, "I know you. You're the one who orchestrated this grand scheme with Heng Qing, aren't you?"

Chen Jie said, "It was a last resort, please excuse my poor performance."

The Western King said, "If such a wonderful and extraordinary show is laughable, then my feud with the Eastern King is simply laughable, isn't it?"

Chen Jie remained silent, while the Western King said, "Alright, let's cut to the chase. What do you need me to do next?"

Chen Jie looked at the King of the West and said, "King of the West, the grand show is about to end, and naturally we need a heavyweight to close it off. I think you are quite suitable."

Upon hearing this, the Western King chuckled and said, "The grand finale? Interesting, very interesting!"

Xi Wang said, "Then I'll trouble Mr. Chen to remove these shackles from me so I can finish up this mess!"

Chen Jie didn't speak. At this moment, he raised the spear in his hand, and the Crimson Dragon immediately emitted a red light. The next moment, with a slash, the iron chain was instantly cut open and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Chen Jie didn't say anything more. He went inside, waved his hand, and his spear flashed out repeatedly, *crack crack crack*...

They removed all the chains binding the Queen of the West in the cell. After all the chains were removed, the Queen of the West slowly stood up. She was only wearing a white prison uniform, and her shoulders were still bound by iron hooks that locked her collarbones.

At this moment, the Western King grasped the two iron hooks, gritted his teeth, cried out in pain, and removed the two iron hooks directly. Instantly, his meridians were unblocked, the blocked power in his body surfaced directly, and his strength was directly restored to the level of the fourth stage of the Fusion God.

At this moment, the Western King looked at Chen Jiedao and said, "Let's go, this farce should come to an end."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Please."

The King of the West nodded and walked out, with Chen Jie following behind.

Meanwhile, in the central area of ​​the Imperial City, people gathered to prepare for today's grand ceremony.

Then, on the high platform, there were three chairs. The middle chair was slightly higher. There was a person sitting on the left and a person on the right. The left seat was the seat of honor, where a middle-aged scholar sat. He had a fair complexion and his brows were full of heroic spirit.

Indeed, this is the famous Eastern King of the Immortal Realm, and sitting to his right is an old man with an ancient and simple air about him. His eyes are sharp as he looks at the people around him. Yes, this is the Great Elder of the Jiuli Clan.

The two were sitting on the high platform, and the chair at the very top was for the newly appointed Little Immortal Venerable.

Not far from the high platform, there was another execution platform. On the platform, there was a large wooden block and a burly executioner. Everything was ready.

The audience below the stage was watching everything. Some of them were the Eastern King's subordinates, but most of them were ordinary people from the Immortal Clan. They had no particular stance; they would help whoever won.

They were just there to watch the spectacle; they had heard about the high-level coup, but didn't know the specifics.

Therefore, everyone was eagerly waiting, wondering if they would really behead the little immortal (Hui Qing).

Many of them were observing from the sidelines, after all, sending a former immortal to the execution platform was something they had never dared to dream of before.

Therefore, they were all extremely excited. After all, in this world, a Celestial Venerable was like an emperor, and sending an emperor to the guillotine was incredibly thrilling.

As everyone was thinking this, a host walked onto the stage. The host glanced at everyone and then said, "Hello everyone, I am the host of this ceremony. Please be quiet. First of all, please welcome His Highness the Eastern King to say a few words."

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this. Then, the Eastern King slowly rose to his feet, and immediately someone below shouted, "Eastern King, Eastern King..."

The Eastern King nodded slightly, then raised his hands to suppress the shouts of the crowd. He then spoke, "Everyone, we have gathered here today with a very clear goal: to select a new Immortal Venerable to lead our Immortal Clan to a more glorious future."

"Our immortal race is the direct descendant of the Human Emperor. Our ancestors were the saints who led humanity out of the wilderness. But how have these damned humans treated us? Only a few thousand years have passed, and they have already forgotten the great achievements of our ancestors."

"They are no longer grateful to our Human Emperor clan. They have become ungrateful and have forgotten their roots. They occupy vast lands outside while leaving us to live in this cramped space. Is this a paradise?"

"This is a cage that imprisons our immortal race. We must break free of this cage, we must reclaim the vast lands outside, and we must make these ungrateful humans remember that their good life today is thanks to us. If we don't give it to them, they must obediently become our subjects!"

"Otherwise, he will be killed!"

The Eastern King looked at the people below and said, "Everyone, our immortal race has had a hard time. For thousands of years, we have been trapped in this cage, and our old immortal venerable has always said that this is to protect us. He even blamed the deaths of the eldest and second young masters on their disobedience and running away from the immortal realm without permission."

"But the deaths of the eldest and second young masters were not like that. At that time, Zhou Chu's purpose in the Immortal Realm was to let us see if there was any land outside that could allow us to survive. He was looking for a way for us to live!"

"result!"

The Eastern King sighed and said, "In the end, the eldest and second young masters were killed by outsiders. Did they kill the eldest and second young masters? They are declaring war on our immortal race. They are taking advantage of our immortal race's lack of talent!"

"I cannot bear such humiliation, nor can I stand this indignation, so I petitioned the Old Immortal Venerable, who reprimanded me. I petitioned our Young Immortal Venerable, who also scolded me." "They have all forgotten, forgotten that the blood of the Human Emperor flows in their veins. The Human Emperor cannot be insulted!"

"But the old immortal has forgotten that the young immortals are even less bloodthirsty than our human emperor clan. They have betrayed our immortal clan and are a disgrace to the immortal clan."

"But I cannot forget the Immortal Clan, and I cannot forgive those who betrayed the Immortal Clan, even if she is an Immortal Venerable."

"Therefore, I have made a decision. Today, I will execute those who betray the Immortal Clan and establish a new Immortal Venerable. After the new Immortal Venerable is established, he will issue an order for our Immortal Clan to march out of Kunlun, reclaim our land, and let the outside world, the lowly ones, see what the Immortal Clan is all about!"

As the Eastern King spoke, the people below exchanged glances, looking at each other in bewilderment. Someone asked, "I say, are we really going to fight the Eastern King?"

Some members of the immortal race expressed their doubts.

At this moment, someone nearby immediately said, "Of course, how could we miss out on such a good thing?"

"Good thing?"

The man was puzzled. At this moment, the immortal disciple said, "You haven't heard yet, have you? The people outside are very weak. Even if we don't learn martial arts, we're just farmers. But outside, we're all experts. By the way, they're called Transformation Realm experts."

"What's more, those of us who have practiced a little martial arts are all top-tier experts in the Wolf Smoke Realm when we go out. We may not be anything special in this Immortal Realm, but we'll be the elite wherever we go. The Eastern King has privately told us that as long as we go out, each of us will be assigned at least five maids to serve us. We won't have to do any work; the servants will take care of it. We can just stay in our fiefdom, eat and drink well, and enjoy endless wealth and glory!"

Upon hearing this, the man looked at the speaker and asked, "Are you serious?"

The man said, "Otherwise, why would we insist on going out? Isn't it all for this wealth and glory? Trusting the Eastern King is the right thing to do!"

"Okay, then we'll believe in the Eastern King. I'm fine with whatever he says!"

The people in the Immortal Realm were whispering among themselves. The Eastern King glanced at them, said nothing more, and then turned and walked back, saying, "Alright, now let's invite the new Little Immortal Venerable, Heng Feng, to make his appearance."

Upon hearing this, Hengfeng slowly walked up and greeted the Eastern King with clasped hands, saying, "Master Eastern King."

The Eastern King was very satisfied with his attitude and said, "You are about to take office as a Junior Immortal Venerable. Come and say a few words to everyone."

At this moment, Hengfeng clasped his hands and said, "Everyone, I, Hengfeng, will not mince words, so I will say less. I, Hengfeng, am the fourth son of the old immortal, but I do not agree with the old immortal's actions. Our immortal race should be superior to others, how can we be trapped in this cage?"

“I had no intention of taking the position of Immortal Venerable, but my master, the Eastern King, said something very true: since I am the son of the Immortal Venerable, I bear the heavy responsibility of leading the people of the Immortal Realm to live a good life.”

"Therefore, I will not say much else, but as long as you are willing to support me as the Immortal Venerable, you will surely be rewarded with high-ranking positions and generous salaries in the future, and you will definitely enjoy wealth and honor!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd below the stage immediately cheered, "Little Immortal! Little Immortal!"

Hengfeng was very satisfied with everyone's attitude. Then he looked at Dongwang and asked, "Master Dongwang, what do you think?"

The Eastern King said, “Alright, since everyone agrees, let’s burn yellow paper and present it to the Human Emperor, so that Heng Feng, the 36th generation descendant of the Heng clan, can inherit the position of Immortal Venerable.”

After he finished speaking, the altar was immediately prepared, and yellow paper with information about Hengfeng's succession was burned.

After these steps were completed, the ceremony entered its second half. At this point, the Eastern King helped the Little Immortal Venerable to the highest position, and then led the Grand Elder and others in paying homage.

"Your Excellency, we bow to you!"

After saying this, Dong Wang took the lead in kneeling and bowing. Heng Feng quickly helped him up, but Dong Wang's knees didn't even touch the ground before he was helped up. At this moment, Heng Feng said, "Master Dong Wang, no matter what, you will always be my master. What kind of master kneels before his disciple in this world?"

After saying this, the Eastern King glanced at him and said, "No, no, the hierarchy among the immortals cannot be disregarded!"

At this moment, Hengfeng immediately said, "Very well, since I am the Immortal Venerable, Eastern King, step forward to receive your investiture!"

Upon hearing this, the Eastern King looked at Heng Feng, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Jiang Yuan, await your investiture!"

"In the name of the Immortal Venerable, I appoint you as the Eastern King Protector of the Immortal Clan, with a status equal to that of the Immortal Venerable, to act as regent of the Immortal Clan, and as the Grand Marshal of the Immortal Clan's army, in command of all the Immortal Clan's troops!"

Upon hearing this, the Eastern King immediately clasped his hands and said, "Thank you, Immortal Venerable."

How could the people below not understand after hearing this? The Eastern King had completely sidelined the position of Immortal Venerable, acting as regent for the Immortal Clan and Grand Marshal of the Army. It could be said that all internal affairs and military matters of the Immortal Clan had been contracted out to the Eastern King.

Furthermore, bestowing upon him the title of Eastern King is essentially equivalent to granting him the status of an emperor emeritus, placing him on par with the Celestial Venerable. Therefore, in the future, the Eastern King will be the one to call the shots among the Celestial Clan.

The Eastern King clasped his hands in acceptance of the Immortal Venerable's appointment, which was to legitimize his position. Then he appointed his officials. The Grand Elder was given a high position, serving as the Deputy Marshal of the Army and Commander of the Jiuli tribe.

With these things done, the Eastern King was in high spirits, having now secured his position.

Thinking this, the Eastern King immediately waved his hand and said, "Men, bring Hengqing up to offer sacrifices to the flag!"

At the Eastern King's command, his men immediately came forward to drag Heng Qing over for the flag-raising ceremony. Heng Qing was thus bound and brought up, while Heng Feng calmly looked at her.

The two exchanged glances, having nothing more to say. Then, the Eastern King looked at Heng Qing and said, "This woman is the culprit who has caused everyone to suffer. Today, let us use her blood to sacrifice to the flag and fight for a way out for our immortal clan!"

Having said that, the Eastern King shouted, "Executioners, prepare!"

Then Hengfeng spoke up, "Sister, may you have a safe journey."

At this moment, Heng Qing looked at Heng Feng and sneered, "Heng Feng, you are truly an incompetent fellow. Today, you have ruined the foundation of my Immortal Clan. It would be better if I died so that I wouldn't have to see your groveling face and feel disgusted!"

"you!"

Hengfeng's gaze sharpened, and he gritted his teeth.

"Hengqing, you're about to die, can't you just shut up?"

Heng Qing looked at Heng Feng and said, "You're willing to be a son immortal, but you won't let anyone talk about it, hahaha..."

Enraged, Heng Feng gritted his teeth. At this moment, the Eastern King spoke up: "Enough with the empty words, kill him!"

At the command, the executioner prepares. (End of Chapter)
