Volume 5: The Mystery of Shamo Chapter 57: The Unpredictable World
"Lili!" A familiar and urgent call came from the sky. Ping Lili's breathing stagnated, and his face suddenly showed ecstasy. It turned out to be him!
It’s Mo Yi!
The person who just made the move was indeed Mo Yi. This was Mo Yi's "Purple Lightning Thunder Art"! Is Mo Yi here too?
But where was he? She soon realized that things were not as she had imagined. Mo Yi's voice sounded so far away, as if there was a galaxy between them!
Just when Ping Lili was following the sound to find Mo Yi's whereabouts, a black hair suddenly shot out silently from behind him. The black hair was about the same thickness as a hair and extremely soft, but it clearly carried a murderous aura, and the target of the black hair was obviously Ping Lili!
However, everything happened in just a moment. Before Ping Lili could even feel the approaching danger, she only heard a clang behind her, and the black hair was cut into two pieces by an ice-blue beam of light that came from the void!
Then, another scream was heard. The broken half of the black hair unexpectedly twisted in mid-air. The terrifying force rebounded and hit the owner of the black hair. The once beautiful face instantly burst into blood. Unfortunately, the flowers that bloomed were blood. At this moment, after seeing the attacker's face clearly, a chill suddenly flashed in the eyes of the blind man. Senior Sister Yunchu, it's her again?!
When did she come up behind him? Was she trying to sneak attack him?
At this time, Yunchu was kneeling beside the unconscious Wu Su. She quickly collected the remaining black hair in her hand. Although her face was covered in blood, her hateful eyes were staring at Pinglili!
Ying Lili sneered. This senior sister was truly relentless in her pursuit of her own life—no, Yao Ji's life. However, this was happening in front of the Shamo Temple. Where did she get the guts to attack a fellow junior sister in front of the Shamo Temple?
However, this time, Ying Lili had no intention of letting her go so easily! If you dare to attack me again and again, you must pay the price!
I saw Ping Lili's cold eyes flash, and her fingertips flicked. A golden cold light shot out from her fingertips, and the roaring momentum was like the galaxy rolling back and the rushing waterfall, rushing straight towards Yunchu's face!
"Stop!" At this moment, another angry shout was heard. A figure flashed from the side, blocking the way between Ying Lili and Yun Chu. With a flick of his sleeve, a white light swept up, obliterating the golden cold light shot out by Ying Lili! The energy even knocked Ying Lili back several steps!
It’s Elder Qingfeng!
At this moment, Yunchu took the initiative and turned the tables: "Yao Ji, not only are you secretly communicating with the demons, you are even trying to harm your fellow disciples!"
Ping Lili half-closed her eyes, a cold glint flickering in them. What does it mean to be shameless and invincible? Today really opened my eyes. I've seen shameless people , but I've never seen anyone so shameless. She was clearly the one who attacked me, but she actually turned the tables and framed me. No wonder she used that thin black hair as a hidden weapon. So this was the trap?
First he accused himself of having secret dealings with the demons, and then openly called his revenge the harming of his fellow disciples. This move was cruel enough!
But where did she get the confidence to frame me so unscrupulously?
At this moment, Ying Lili suddenly remembered the fleeting nervous expression on Elder Qingfeng's face. When his rat-like eyes cast upon her, they were clearly filled with murderous intent. Compared to the expression he had on Yunchu, this treatment was far worse. And when he looked at Yunchu, the nervous expression he had on his face didn't seem like he was concerned about the expression of an ordinary disciple...
At least, compared to the other three senior uncles, this uncle was too excited.
A trace of doubt suddenly arose in Ping Lili's heart. Could it be that Yun Chu dared to be so unscrupulous because she relied on the support of Uncle Qingfeng?
At this time, Gong Lili remembered that it was this uncle who suggested sending him to the 'Demon Cave' for punishment. It seemed that this uncle had a grudge against him, at least, he had no good intentions.
Elder Qingfeng seemed to be confirming her doubts, and he angrily shouted, "Yao Ji, you are so bold! You have secretly colluded with the demons and committed such a heinous crime. Do you know your guilt?!"
Ying Lili's gaze suddenly fell on the half strand of black hair that had just been cut off on the ground. The hidden weapon as thin as a hair was indeed a good weapon for sneak attacks. Not to mention that the uncles who were far away must not be able to see it, even she herself did not notice it at all. If Mo Yi, who was nowhere to be found, had not taken action in time, she would have been beheaded by now, right?
Senior Sister Yunchu, you are so vicious!
She narrowed her eyes, her voice becoming even colder. "Uncle Qingfeng, please don't wrongly accuse a good person. Putting aside whether I have colluded with the demons, I, Yao Ji, cannot even bear the charge of harming my fellow disciples. I wasn't the one who launched the sneak attack."
Although Ying Lili did not take these uncles seriously, and was not afraid of their punishment, she still had to clear herself of things that needed to be cleared. She could not tolerate others framing her with false charges!
At this time, the other three uncles also rushed over, but their expressions when they looked at Gong Lili were very different.
Elder Qingchen stared at the forehead of Yinglili without blinking. Yinglili knew what he was looking for. Unfortunately, Jianyi had not woken up at this time, and she had no intention of waking him up. So, she thought, it was impossible for the golden mark on the forehead that they wanted to see.
Elder Qingsong looked at Yinglili meaningfully, then looked at Yunchu, who was still kneeling on the ground with blood on her face but staring at Yinglili with resentment. He sighed imperceptibly and shook his head.
Elder Qingyang was furious. "Girl, that move you just used was really powerful. What was it called? When did you secretly learn such a powerful move? Who taught you?"
Gong Lili was slightly startled, then she remembered, was he talking about the "Purple Lightning and Thunder Art" that Mo Yi used to kill Shan Yang instantly just now?
Only then did she think of Mo Yi. It must have been Mo Yi who had just broken Senior Sister Yunchu's sneak attack hair. She couldn't have mistaken that icy blue beam of light! Moreover, she had clearly heard him calling her just now!
But where is he?
At this moment, Elder Qingfeng snorted coldly, "Brother, what do you mean by this? Are you planning to side with this traitor?"
Ping Lili snorted inwardly. It seemed that this Uncle Qingfeng really disliked her, having already come up with a charge against her so quickly. But if you want to accuse someone, you'll always find a pretext. She narrowed her eyes and was about to retort, but someone else took the initiative to defend her.
"Junior brother, please don't treat us senior brothers as fools anymore. Even if you favor your illegitimate daughter, you must exercise restraint. Before, you condoned her to plot against those girls from the same sect many times, and we turned a blind eye to it for your sake. But this time, she went too far!" The person who spoke was Elder Qingsong with a righteous face.
As soon as these words came out, not only were Elder Qingfeng and Yunchu stunned, even Pinglili was instantly frozen. What had he just said? Illegitimate daughter? Senior Sister Yunchu was the illegitimate daughter of Uncle Qingfeng?
Suddenly, Pinglili realized what was going on. No wonder she'd been so confident all along. So, that was the secret? And no wonder even Senior Brother Wusu had to give her some leeway. He'd known it was her sneak attack, but he hadn't made a big fuss about it. Could it be that Wusu had known about it all along?
Suddenly, Ying Lili seemed to understand a lot of things, including the fact that after the Battle of Mo, the four elders had joined forces to kill Yao Ji. Perhaps Uncle Qingfeng's cowardice had played a significant role. After all, Yao Ji had taken the position of Chief Wizard from his own illegitimate daughter. If he said he didn't harbor resentment, no one would believe it!
But what about the attitudes of the other uncles? Why had they remained silent before, only to reveal this secret now? Their attitude clearly favored him...
Why? Why did they suddenly change their stance? Did they see something?
Just when Ping Lili was wondering, Elder Qingfeng's face became a little embarrassed: "Brother, how can you say that!"
"There are some things that you know clearly in your heart! What was your intention in deliberately throwing Yao Ji into the 'Demon Cave'? I'm afraid only you know it best!" Elder Qingsong flicked his sleeves, snorted coldly, turned around and faced Yunchu, who was standing there in a daze and even forgot to act. He spread out his right hand slightly, and the thing in the palm of his hand was none other than the broken black hair that Yunchu had used to attack Gong Lili before!
Yunchu's face suddenly turned pale. She pursed her lips, but no sound came out. She only heard Elder Qingsong snort again, "You're so vicious at such a young age! You're even plotting against your fellow disciples. What's the point of you staying in Shamo? Leave the mountain tomorrow!"
“Senior Brother!”
"Uncle Master!"
When these words were spoken, Qingfeng and Yunchu were both shocked. They did not expect that Elder Qingsong would directly expel Yunchu . Although the four elders of Shamo respected Elder Qingchen as the most respected, Qingchen had always been indifferent and did not care about too many trivial matters. Therefore, the second-ranked Elder Qingsong was the actual decision-maker of the Shamo clan. Now that he had spoken, it was impossible to make up for it.
Even Ying Lili was stunned, thinking that it turned out that there were some wise people among the four elders. However, since Senior Sister Yunchu was the illegitimate daughter of Uncle Qingfeng, it might not be so easy to drive her down the mountain, right?
Although Ying Lili felt that simply expelling her was too lenient for her, she wisely remained silent at this time. Since her uncles were willing to stand up for her, she couldn't refuse their favor.
"Brother, although Yunchu has indeed gone too far this time, it would be too harsh to expel her from the mountain like this! What's more, she is one of the reincarnated spirit children after all. It would not be a good idea to expel her before the God of Shamo has an oracle?" At this time, Elder Qingfeng no longer cared about anything and naturally protected his own daughter. However, when he said this, Elders Qingsong and Qingyang both showed a conflicted expression on their faces.
"Lord Jianyi has made his decision." It was at this moment that Elder Qingchen, who had been silent until now, staring at Yinglili silently, spoke. Then, his finger gently tapped the center of Yinglili's eyebrows. Suddenly, Yinglili felt a burning sensation there, and a familiar feeling welled up in her...
In the blink of an eye, a golden sickle-shaped mark appeared faintly between her eyebrows, emitting a dazzling golden light.
"Yao Ji is the nineteenth chief wizard of the Shamo tribe, personally selected by Lord Jianyi!"
