"So, today, according to the Tenth Elder's wishes, we're to decide who will become our sect's Holy Son."
"Does anyone have any objections?"
After speaking, the Sect Master stood with his hands behind his back and looked down at the elders below.
"Reporting to the Sect Master, we have no objections."
"I have none either."
"Neither do I."
As the elders voiced their agreement one after another, the Sect Master slumped back into his chair, as if all the strength had drained from his body.
"Since that's settled, let's begin."
The Sect Master waved his hand casually, then staggered to his feet and walked toward the back.
Once the Holy Son was chosen, his own death would not be far off.
"Why doesn't the Sect Master look so good?"
"Who knows? Anyway, let's hurry up and decide who'll be the Holy Son. Once that's done, this old man still has to go into seclusion."
"What the hell are you going into seclusion for? You couldn't break through to the Golden Core Stage even if you died. You'd be better off enjoying life like me."
Just as the elders of the various sects were bickering, a loud rumble suddenly came from the plaza outside the main hall. A huge arena broke through the ground and slowly rose into the air.
The entire arena was made of gold. It was only used when something important happened.
"I hereby announce that the Holy Son assessment officially begins."
Chu Xue stood barefoot in midair and spoke slowly.
Then she looked down at the three of them, a peculiar expression on her face.
At that moment, the Law Enforcement Elder stepped forward from the side, holding a scroll. He stood in the center of the Golden Arena and slowly unrolled it.
