Volume 5: The Mystery of Shamo Chapter 77: The Yangtze River's Back Waves Push Forward

At this moment, Mo Yi's voice suddenly interrupted: "Wait!" His voice suddenly became high-pitched: "Father, the current leader of the Nayu tribe is not you, but me."
Before he finished speaking, he took out a piece of colored glass scroll from his arms. It was the thing that Ying Lili had secretly entrusted to Shen Chenyu, the eldest daughter that day.
As soon as Ping Lili saw the familiar letter, she couldn't help but exclaimed. This was the thing she deliberately asked the Purple Cloud Beast to convey a message to Mo Yi, asking Mo Yi to find it. What was the meaning of Mo Yi taking out this thing at this time?
That was originally her secret weapon that she intended to use against her uncle and senior brothers. Although it was no longer useful now, she didn't know why Mo Yi took out this thing so cautiously to show it off?
But at this moment, the glass letter seemed a little different from that day. The glass letter that was originally buckled together slowly opened up automatically in Mo Yi's hand, emitting thousands of brilliant lights and thousands of auspicious auras!
A dark blue dragon pattern was faintly visible in the opened scroll. The dragon pattern was almost exactly the same as the pattern on the handle of Mo Yi's Dragon Slaying Roar sword!
What was even more incredible was that the dragon pattern on the hilt of Zhan Longyin's sword also emitted the same deep blue light, as if it was shining in harmony with the scroll, and one could even hear a faint humming sound...
At this moment, not only the people present, but also Mo Yi himself were stunned for a moment. Originally, he only knew that this was the legendary "Netherworld Chart" of the Nayu people, but he didn't know that this thing could actually echo with his Dragon Slaying Chant.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Pinglili's mind. Could it be that this glazed scroll actually belonged to the Nayu clan?!
No wonder Senior Shan Yang spent his entire life without figuring out how to use and the secret of this scroll. It turns out that this is not something that belongs to Sha Mo!
But why are the things of the Nayu tribe hidden in Shamo?
"I believe you all know the legend of the 'Spectrum of the Netherworld', so I don't need to explain it in detail. Although this thing has disappeared from the world for thousands of years, I hope you all still remember the old rules of the Nayu tribe!" Mo Yi's calm voice was like a stone thrown into a thousand-year-old well, instantly stirring up waves.
After seeing the 'Netherworld Chart', all the Nayu people present looked at each other in shock, not knowing what the father and son were up to.
However, they did understand one thing: once the Netherworld Book was released, who would contend? According to Nayu rules, the Netherworld Book symbolized the strongest of their clan, much like the Ruoye clan's Azure Sea Dragon Lotus. For the Nayu people, the Netherworld Book was a supreme symbol of status, and whoever possessed it was the true, unimpeachable leader of the Nayu clan.
Therefore, the submissive expressions they showed towards Mo Yi at this moment actually made their position clear.
But how did this token, symbolizing the head of the clan, end up in Mo Yi's hands? And why hadn't he taken it out earlier?
Wu Su and the three Shamo elders were also dumbfounded. They had vaguely heard of the glazed scroll, but it was said to be a treasure passed down from ancient times, used by successive Shamo chief wizards to suppress the elders. None of them had ever seen it before. How could it have fallen into the hands of this Nayu man? And, most outrageous of all, it actually belonged to the Nayu people!
Isn’t this too far-fetched?
In other words, is there some secret or connection between the Nayu and Shamo tribes that no one knows about?!
A bold and bizarre speculation suddenly crossed Ying Lili's mind. Could it be that the Nayu clan was the legendary secret weapon used by the Shamo clan's chief wizards to suppress the Shamo elders? In other words, could the Nayu clan actually be part of the Shamo clan? Or had they once been part of the Shamo clan?
However, Mo Wutan, after seeing the 'Spectrum of the Netherworld' in Mo Yi's hand, suddenly laughed out loud. The sharp laughter lasted for a long time, which made the people present feel a little creepy. They wondered what the former patriarch of Na Yu was thinking.
The so-called masters always seem to think differently from ordinary people.
In reality, Mo Wutian's mood at this moment was truly extraordinary. He was simply extremely happy and ecstatic. This was truly a case of searching for something without any effort! The Nayu clan's treasure, the 'Netherworld Chart', which had disappeared for thousands of years, had finally reappeared in the Netherworld. It was as if the heavens were on Nayu's side.
Five hundred years ago, the Shamo people massacred Shamo, not only for the Heavenly Stone, but also for a more important reason, which was to find this thing. However, they paid such a heavy price but still got nothing. For most Nayu people, this "Heavenly Book" may be just a heritage, but for Mo Wutan who knows its secret, it is truly a priceless treasure!
It is said that this 'Netherworld Book' records a peerless martial art that can create the world and destroy it, and even contains records about breaking the void!
The mysterious disappearance of the 'Netherworld Manual' was due to the Shamo people, or rather, the Jianyi people, learning the secret of the treasure and stealing it secretly. Therefore, Mo Wutian had spent his entire life searching for this long-lost treasure. Unexpectedly, today, the 'Netherworld Manual' would appear in the hands of his own son. How could Mo Wutian not be delighted?!
What made him most proud was that, judging from the looks of it, Kamami didn't seem to have figured out the mystery of the 'Spectrum of the Netherworld', otherwise, Kamami would have already broken through the void and left!
Heaven helps Nayu! It truly does! This 'Spectrum of the Netherworld', lost for millennia, has now returned to the hands of the Nayu people. It seems the day of reviving Nayu's former glory is not far off! Mo Wutian gloated inwardly, seemingly forgetting that the one holding the 'Spectrum of the Netherworld' was his son, the one he had .
Or, Mo Wutan suddenly changed his mind. He knew that this 'Netherworld Book' was spiritual and would choose its own master. If the 'Netherworld Book' had not recognized Mo Yi, it would always be just an ordinary glass scroll, just like the Sha Mo people who had stolen it for more than a thousand years and never understood the mystery behind it.
And now this 'Netherworld Chart' and Mo Yi's Dragon-Slaying Chant echo each other, which means that this 'Netherworld Chart' seems to have identified Mo Yi.
If that was the case, then the previous plan would need to be changed. Pushing Mo Yi to the side of that demon woman Sha Mo at this moment was absolutely unwise. It wouldn't matter if she could just spare her life for a little while longer. Or, in other words, let Jian Yi's spirit breathe a little longer within the demon woman's sea of consciousness. By the time Mo Yi had mastered the mysteries of the 'Netherworld Spectrum' and broken through the void, what would he fear, not only Jian Yi, but even his master Xuan Yue?!
Mo Yi is his, Mo Wutan's, son. Whether he likes it or not, he can only be a Nayu person, and he must lead Nayu to greater glory!
However, before that, he still had to test his son's ability to see if he could take on this important task.
With this thought, Mo Wuotian had already made up his mind.
"What a great trick! Cutting off the firewood from under the cauldron!" Mo Wutian suddenly stopped laughing. "But, do you think that with just this 'Netherworld Chart', you can replace your father?"
After all, he has been the patriarch of the Nayu tribe for more than 500 years. Mo Wutan believes that his ability to control the Nayu people can no longer be easily replaced by the "Netherworld Chart" that has disappeared for thousands of years.
"Of course I'm not that naive. I just don't want to be so drastic. However, if father still refuses to change his ways, then I will have no choice but to continue to cut off the source of his trouble." Mo Yi's expression remained calm. He lowered his eyes and slowly put away the 'Spectrum of the Netherworld'.
Mo Wutan looked at his son quietly. For the first time in his life, he suddenly felt that this son was so strange. He, as a father, had no idea when his son had quietly grown up and become independent, and was bold enough to challenge him as a father.
But I felt a little relieved in my heart. If Han Yan knew about this, I'm afraid she would smile in her grave.
He twitched his eyebrows and said, "I'd like to hear how you plan to continue to remove the fuel from the fire."
"Half of the immortals you stationed outside Shamo City are already my people. As for the remaining half who are loyal to you, father, I swear that they will never be able to set foot in Shamo City!" Mo Yi slowly raised his head and suddenly opened his eyes. As soon as he opened his eyes, his aura suddenly became incomparably sharp!
"Oh? So I'm a little curious, how did you subdue those immortals?" Mo Wutan was indeed curious about this. Although there were not many Nayu people who had gained immortality and remained in the Xuming Realm, only a hundred or so in number, each of them was the elite among the elites of the Nayu clan back then, and they were all unruly guys. He was really curious about what means his son had used to make those little guys turn to him in such a short time.
"I just let them know what fear is..." Mo Yi replied lightly, describing the life-or-death experience as if he had just had a small fight and beat up a few little brothers.
He changed the subject, "Father, you are already old. Even if you are close to breaking through the Void, as long as you haven't broken through, you will eventually die. I, like them, am immortal. This is my greatest advantage over you. They are not fools. They naturally understand what it means to know the current situation and how to follow the trend."
