Lian Chengyu looked at Yi Yun. His gaze was like a knife stabbing into Yi Yun's body!
"As long as I can recover from my injuries in a few days, I can take revenge for today's matters! I want you to know what it means to live a life worse than death! "
It would have been fine if he was being bullied by an expert, but now, it was a little kid who seemed to be much weaker than him who was jumping up and down and challenging his dignity. He was helpless because he was injured, so how could he not be angry?
"Yi Yun!" Lian Chengyu opened his mouth. Even if he was unwilling, Lian Chengyu knew that today was the end of the line between him and Yi Yun. If he were to fight with Yi Yun, even if he could beat Yi Yun, it would affect the Kingdom's selection a few days later. This was a price Lian Chengyu could not afford.
"My Lian tribal clan has suffered for hundreds of years in the Cloud Wilderness. Our ancestors ate grass roots and tree bark, slowly allowing the tribe to develop."
"In my generation, I have trained hard for ten years. Regardless of the cold or famine, I have never slacked off in my training. It was all for the Lian tribal clan to move into the city, allowing the tribe to prosper!"
"But now … when I have invested all my wealth and the tribe's strength in this gamble, you have come forward to create rumors and bewitch the people, framing me. Do you want the people of the Lian tribal clan to live in misery forever?"
Lian Chengyu's words were a rebuke to Yi Yun. Immediately, there was a flurry of discussion among the people.
Lian Chengyu and Yi Yun each had their own opinions.
Yi Yun said that Lian Chengyu had refined poisonous desolate bones, causing the deaths of the people, but Lian Chengyu said that Yi Yun was framing him! The two of them were at loggerheads!
But in this debate, the people were more inclined to believe Lian Chengyu. After all, Lian Chengyu had high authority in the Lian tribal clan, while Yi Yun was just a child.
Hearing the people's discussion, and knowing the majority's attitude, Yi Yun could not help but think of a story he had heard back on Earth.
It was said that in primordial times, a group of primitive people living in a cave worshipped a shadow on the ground. This shadow could change in size, making it look like a god. Hence, the primitive people worshipped the shadow every day.
However, there was a clever primitive man who did not believe in God. He spent a lot of effort to climb to the top of the cave and found a strange rock. It turned out that the God that people worshipped was actually just a reflection of the strange rock under the sunlight.
The clever primitive man told his people the truth and told them to stop worshipping the shadow. It was only left behind by a stone and was not a god.
In the end, no one believed this clever primitive man. Instead, they felt fear. Later on, this clever primitive man was burned to death by his people. The reason was that he had blasphemed against the gods. After that, those primitive men continued to worship the strange stone's shadow.
Yi Yun felt that the situation he was facing now was like one of those short stories.
He was the clever primitive man, and Lian Chengyu was the shadow.
Now, Lian Chengyu had used all the power of the tribe to go all out and "successfully broke through" to the Purple Blood realm. He had become the god of the Lian tribal clan!
Everyone, be it the upper echelons of the Lian tribal clan, the members of the warrior preparation camp, or the commoners, were counting on Lian Chengyu to bring change to the Lian tribal clan, allowing the suffering people to escape from poverty and hunger.
People living in pain needed faith. They needed spiritual sustenance, allowing them to escape from reality and imagine that their future would be better. Only then would they have the courage to continue living.
And Lian Chengyu was undoubtedly qualified for this position. He was the leader of the tribe, the idol of all the youths, and the dream lover of all the girls.
As long as Lian Chengyu passed the Kingdom's selection, he would be the savior of the Lian tribal clan!
On the other hand, Yi Yun was a twelve year old child. He did not have any prestige, so it would be too difficult to topple Lian Chengyu.
Even if Yi Yun could produce irrefutable evidence, no one would believe him. Because toppling Lian Chengyu was equivalent to shattering the spiritual sustenance of the poor people of the Lian tribal clan. It would tell them that they had to live in darkness forever. Who would allow that?
If not for Yi Yun crippling Zhao Tiezhu and using his strength to shock the crowd, he would have ended up like the clever primitive man, being burned alive by the angry crowd.
Seeing the people clearly on his side, Lian Chengyu was satisfied. The only thing he was dissatisfied with was that even with the support of the people, he could not do anything to Yi Yun.
"Yi Yun, I think you are a talent. Your talent in martial arts is not bad, but you probably had a fortuitous encounter to get to where you are today!"
Lian Chengyu emphasized the word fortuitous encounter. He was extremely jealous of Yi Yun. Why did he have a fortuitous encounter, but I didn't?
But even though he was jealous, Lian Chengyu had no choice but to act as if those who had obtained their strength through fortuitous encounters were not considered true abilities. What he meant was that he had taken a shortcut to get to where he was, but his strength was obtained through hard work and true abilities.
The lackeys quickly understood Lian Chengyu's meaning. They said, "I see. I was wondering how this kid could beat Zhao Tiezhu. So he took a shortcut!"
"He might have picked up some treasure and eaten it. I heard that some treasures can quickly increase a person's strength, but eating it will cause one's foundation to be unstable. In the future, one's cultivation will hit a bottleneck. It's like pulling a sapling to help it grow!"
The lackeys looked enlightened. Indeed, their master was the most powerful. As for Yi Yun's power, it was short-lived. Besides, Yi Yun wasn't powerful either. He had only defeated Zhao Tiezhu, so it was nothing.
The people were led to believe that the explanation given by the lackeys was reasonable. Only by doing so could they understand why Yi Yun's strength had increased by leaps and bounds.
Lian Chengyu carried on, "It's not easy for you to grow to where you are today. Today, I will pardon your death sentence. You should join hands with me and work hard to make the Lian tribal clan prosper!"
Lian Chengyu said it in a righteous manner.
Among the crowd, Lian Chengyu's supporters and lackeys all cheered for him.
"Young master Lian is righteous. It's the tribe's fortune!" Someone clapped.
"Young master Lian is magnanimous. Yi Yun slandered Young master Lian, but Young master Lian did not blame him. Instead, he gave Yi Yun an important position. If Yi Yun knows what's good for him, he will help Young master Lian."
The people's opinions were easily misled. What's more, the lackeys' words were reasonable.
After all, Lian Chengyu had broken through to the Purple Blood realm. It was a matter of time before he passed the Kingdom's selection.
As for Yi Yun, although his martial arts talent was good, he had only been practicing martial arts for a short period of time. He had only obtained such strength through a fortuitous encounter. He had only been practicing martial arts for a short period of time, and was probably at the third level of Mortal Blood. It was impossible for him to pass the Kingdom's selection.
In the future, if Yi Yun were to mature and was willing to help Lian Chengyu, it would be a great help to Lian Chengyu, allowing the Lian tribal clan to soar.
