At this time, in the Lian tribal clan's Patriarch's compound.
Zhao Tiezhu ran in and excitedly reported Yi Yun's family's situation to Lian Chengyu.
"Young master Lian has great foresight. Yi Yun's family is now covered in cow dung. Hahaha!"
Zhao Tiezhu laughed. Lian Chengyu only responded with a "Yes" and waved his hand, "You may leave. Keep an eye on Jiang Xiaorou's family and report back to me."
"Yes, yes. I'll go now." Zhao Tiezhu accepted the order and bowed as he left.
Zhao Tiezhu was in high spirits. He felt that Lian Chengyu was thinking highly of him. He was getting him to do everything for him.
After Zhao Tiezhu left, Lian Chengyu calmly brought over a pot of tea. He poured a cup for himself and filled another cup.
At this time, a yellow-robed elder walked out from the house.
He smiled as he picked up the cup of tea that Lian Chengyu had just poured and took a sip.
This elder was the Lian tribal clan's Patriarch.
"Chengyu, you did a great job. I'm really getting old." The elder shook his head. In the past few months, the Lian tribal clan had been managed by Lian Chengyu.
The yellow-robed elder was worried that Lian Chengyu would use the able-bodied men to refine the desolate bones. The refinement of the desolate bones could lead to death, and coupled with the famine, it was only a matter of time before the people rioted.
Even if Lian Chengyu used the Blood Melting Pill to stimulate the life force potential of those people and temporarily stabilize their condition, this method of overdrawing their life force could not be sustained for long. In a few days, those people would sooner or later fall ill and die one by one.
Once the matter was exposed, the upper echelons of the Lian tribal clan would be under unprecedented pressure!
If it was not handled well, it could lead to a riot, leading to bloodshed. If it affected the refinement of the desolate bones, the consequences would be disastrous.
However, the yellow-robed elder never expected that Lian Chengyu would divert the trouble just as the disease was about to break out. He had pushed the blame onto Yi Yun, who had died first.
This way, if the able-bodied men who were refining the desolate bones died, no one would suspect it. They would believe that Yi Yun had contracted the strange disease and was possessed.
While Yi Yun was refining the desolate bones, this strange disease spread to the able-bodied men who were refining the desolate bones with him. Eventually, it became a plague that spread.
And if Yi Yun was possessed, it would bring inauspiciousness to the tribe.
When that happened, people would believe that Yi Yun had caused everyone's deaths.
This way, people would only hate Yi Yun, and not Lian Chengyu. And there would be new able-bodied men to continue refining the desolate bones. Everything would be perfect.
This was Lian Chengyu's intention in leading this matter. It could be said to be killing two birds with one stone. Not only did he establish the absolute authority of the tribe's number one genius, he also ensured the smooth refinement of the desolate bones.
"It's just a little trick. Grandpa, you're exaggerating." Lian Chengyu said lightly, "According to the Frost Python's toxicity and the effects of the Blood Thinning Pill, in another three to five days, the people refining the desolate bones will be dead. When that happens, the clan will be furious. It won't be as simple as throwing cow dung at Yi Yun's house. They will probably set fire to the Yi Yun's house."
As Lian Chengyu said this, he drank a mouthful of tea and wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief. His actions were extremely elegant. He was the only person in the Lian tribal clan who maintained the style of an aristocrat.
He was born in the Cloud Wilderness. Although the young masters of the Cloud Wilderness had a higher status, how could they have the style of an aristocrat? But Lian Chengyu was different. He had learned the etiquette of an aristocrat from Yao Yuan, and had always been strict with such etiquette.
This was because he was determined that he was destined to enter the upper echelons of society one day, and even become one of the upper echelons of the Kingdom, attending the Kingdom's banquets.
He did not want to be mocked by the upper echelons of society for being a Cloud Wilderness barbarian.
He wanted to let others know that although he was born in the Cloud Wilderness, he could do everything to the best!
"It's a pity that I didn't get to see Yi Yun's corpse with my own eyes …"
Lian Chengyu said thoughtfully.
"Haha, Chengyu, you are too careful. Do you think that kid has a chance of survival in such a situation? Not to mention the Frost Python's poison that mortals have no antidote for, even falling from a hundred feet high valley would result in his body being smashed to pieces. Furthermore, the East River's flow is rapid, and there's a waterfall below. Even the best tide teller would drown if he doesn't fall to his death. "
The Patriarch was not worried at all.
Lian Chengyu nodded, "Yes … Grandpa is right. Yi Yun has just started practicing martial arts, so he hasn't even reached the Valiant realm. There's no way he could have survived."
Lian Chengyu put down his teacup. Yi Yun was dead, but his sister was still alive. After such a disaster, her house had been covered in cow dung and burned down. Not only was she homeless, she would be hated by the entire Lian tribal clan. Other than himself, who would take her in?
Thinking of this, Lian Chengyu's lips curled into a smile.
This little girl would fall into his hands sooner or later. By letting her suffer a little, she would be able to control her temper and be more obedient. Then, whatever he said would go.
"Yi Yun, Yi Yun. You have slapped me in the face in front of Lord Lian. Then I'll kill you and enjoy your sister. That would be fair."
"By dying, I've actually saved your sister. In the future, she will listen to me obediently. You can rest assured in the underworld. Even if I become successful in the future, I'll make her a concubine. I won't abandon her."
…
The sky finally turned dark, but those "brave" children were very dedicated. Even when it was dark, they didn't leave. They threw a large pile of cow dung. Not only did they cover Jiang Xiaorou's door, walls, and even the foundation was almost half buried.
"Well done!" Lian Cuihua clapped her hands. She had wanted to pat the children's heads to show encouragement, but she felt it was dirty, so she retracted her hand. "Come to Auntie Cuihua tomorrow. Auntie Cuihua will give you sweets."
The sweets were naturally given out by Lian Chengyu. In the Lian tribal clan, it was a rare item.
The children's eyes lit up when they heard that they would get sweets.
"Great, great. Then we'll throw the cow dung again tomorrow. Will there be sweets too?"
"Yes, of course!" Lian Cuihua smiled like a flower. "Hehe, not only will there be sweets, by throwing the cow dung, you have exorcised the evil and saved everyone!"
"Yes, we saved everyone!" An older child said proudly.
"We are heroes!" A child echoed. Children this old all had the dream of being a hero. They wanted to be a hero that could fly in the sky and burrow into the ground, to be awe-inspiring.
But at this moment, in the grass, there was a pair of dark eyes watching all of this.
It was Yi Yun's eyes!
He had already understood what had happened from the conversation between the children and the villagers. From this, Yi Yun could guess Lian Chengyu's possible plans.
