Volume 7: The Great War Chapter 02: Showcasing His Talents
Since it was decided to unite the forces of all parties to resist the demons, the three of them, including Ying Lili, immediately divided the work. Wei Xingying went to Shamo City to see Yan Zheng with Ying Lili's handwritten letter, asking Yan Zheng to gather all the wizards of Shamo to go to the South China Sea to assist the Ruoye tribe within three days. As for Zhuo Ao, on the one hand, because he was the only person in the Xuming Continent who had been to Penglai Fairyland, and he was once the Pavilion Master of Wuji Fairy Palace, so the task of uniting Penglai Fairyland and Wuji Fairy Palace naturally fell on his shoulders.
In Mingsha City, she will go to see Yu Cheng in person, tell him about Mo Yi, and ask for support from the Nayu tribe.
Without further ado, the three of them set off immediately. Fortunately, You Lan's injuries had been almost sutured by Wei Xingying, and he could now barely take care of himself, so they left him alone in the Forest of Rebirth to recuperate.
Inside Mingsha City
Even though Ying Lili had prepared countless arguments to convince Yu Cheng, Yu Cheng's reaction was still far beyond her expectations. Or perhaps, she overestimated the relationship between Mo Yi and Yu Cheng. She thought the Nayu people were too loyal and righteous, but forgot that they were a race that was extremely cold-blooded.
Even father and son can turn against each other, let alone just friends.
After Yu Cheng heard her purpose, he didn't agree to her request for the tribes to work together as Ying Lili had hoped. Instead, he said expressionlessly, "According to our Nayu people's rules, if the previous tribe leader is no longer around or disappears, then we have to re-elect or hold a duel to decide the new tribe leader. What the Nayu tribe should do is up to the new tribe leader, not me."
Gong Lili never expected that Yu Cheng would say such heartless and ungrateful words. Weren't he and Mo Yi childhood friends? Mo Yi had even handed over the full power of the Na Yu tribe to him before. She didn't expect that he would turn his back on her like this.
"Then may I ask, when can you elect a new clan leader?!" But Ying Lili is no longer the passionate woman she used to be. She knows that she needs help from others now, so she has to ask patiently. Since the other party did not directly reject her, it is not the worst outcome.
"This depends on the results of the martial arts competition among our tribe members." Yu Cheng did not look at her when he said this, but turned around and gave instructions to the several men in black standing beside him, as if he was arranging the matters of summoning the tribe members for a martial arts competition.
Ying Lili cursed in her heart, by the time the result of your competition comes out, the opportunity will be gone!
Jiang Wu, Mo Yi's former fiancée and Ying Lili's imagined rival, had disappeared abruptly from the main hall before, only to unexpectedly reappear here again. At this moment, she said something that made Ying Lili feel like she had been saved from a desperate situation: "Wait, Yu Cheng, since this is a fair competition that requires all members of the clan to participate, then she is also qualified to participate, right?"
"That is our Nayu people's business. What does it have to do with her, a Sha Mo wizard? What's more, she herself said that she disdains to be one of our Nayu people." Yu Cheng looked at Jiang Wu coldly, and deliberately emphasized the four words "Sha Mo wizard", as if reminding the other party not to forget the identity of Gong Lili.
"But since she has the mark of 'Suzaku's Sorrow' on her body, she is also a Nayu person. It has nothing to do with whether she is willing or not." Jiang Wu said so, gently stroking her left shoulder with her left hand. Almost at the same time, Ping Lili suddenly felt a familiar burning sensation in her left shoulder. That feeling was so long ago that she almost forgot it.
'Sorrow of the Vermillion Bird', this mark that she had always hated, she never expected that it could be of great use at this moment. A slight smile appeared on the corner of Ping Lili's lips, and she already understood Jiang Wu's painstaking efforts in her heart.
Is Jiang Wu hinting at her to seize the position of the leader of the Nayu tribe?
How had she never thought of this?
But why? Why would Jiang Wu help her? Jing Lili looked at Jiang Wu in confusion, but she saw a hint of the same worry in her eyes. Had she heard everything she and Yu Cheng had said earlier? Jing Lili suddenly realized that she wasn't the only one in this world who loved Mo Yi deeply. This woman named Jiang Wu also loved him deeply, and would even help her love rival for him.
Such a broad mind really made Ying Lili admire her. It turned out that the women of the Nayu tribe were as good as men.
"That's right, since I also have the mark of 'Suzaku's Sorrow', then I should be considered a member of Nayu. I will definitely participate in this competition. Let's follow the rules." There was a hint of awe-inspiring arrogance between Ying Lili's brows. Although her 'Bi Luo Sword Technique' was still at the most basic stage, she was confident that she could use it to deal with Nayu people other than Mo Yi.
With her "Bi Luo Sword Technique", she could fight Zhuo Ao for ten moves. Looking at the current Nayu clan, except for Mo Yi and Mo Yi's father Mo Wutan, the rest of the people were not taken seriously by Ying Lili. As long as the Nayu people did not gang up on her, when it came to one-on-one combat, Ying Lili was absolutely confident that she could take the lead.
Before, Gong Lili had learned from Mo Yi that the way the Nayu people compete for the position of patriarch is to fight alone. They can challenge everyone in turn, but they will not attack in groups. The Nayu people also have their own pride.
This is exactly what Yu Cheng does not want to see, but now he seems to have no better reason to stop Ying Lili from participating in the competition for the new leader of the Na Yu clan. He can only hope that Ying Lili's cultivation has not improved much.
After all, Mo Yi was not here at the moment, and Mo Wutan was also in seclusion. Looking at the Nayu clan, he was the person with the highest cultivation level.
Yu Cheng held a faint hope in his heart.
However, when the fifty-second member of the tribe was stabbed to death by Gong Lili's sword, Yu Cheng suddenly felt a sense of despair.
This was the second person who made Yu Cheng feel this way since the previous clan leader Mo Wutan. It was as if a god of war was standing in front of him. He seemed not far away, but he knew that there was a distance like the Milky Way between them.
The strong are respected and the fittest survive.
Get stronger, get stronger, get stronger and stronger!
On this day, the woman in green finally showed the brave Nayu people what it meant to be unrivaled with a sword in hand! Those Nayu people who had fought against Gong Lili understood from the bottom of their hearts the terrifying power of the Biluo Sword in her hand.
Only Jiang Wu, after being knocked down by Gong Lili's sword, whispered in her ear, "Is it because of Mo Yi?"
Ping Lili knew what she was asking. She wanted to know why she became so strong, and whether it was because of Mo Yi.
Ping Lili nodded heavily without hesitation. It was the undying love for Mo Yi in her heart that made her grit her teeth and endure these painful days, and even cheered her up.
She knew that there was no savior in this world, and that she could only rely on herself to change everything.
Ever since Mo Yi disappeared, Ying Lili had understood that she no longer had a way out, no longer had the right to cry or be weak! In the past, no matter what she encountered, there was always Mo Yi and some masters behind the scenes to support her, to clean up the mess for her and show her the way forward. However, from now on, she could only rely on herself.
Gong Lili unsurprisingly took the position of clan leader of the Nayu clan. After the battle, no one in the Nayu clan had any objections. In this Nayu clan, where the strong are respected, strength is everything. Regardless of your origin or gender, the power in your hands speaks for itself.
The Biluo Sword in Gong Lili's hand, just like Mo Yi's Dragon-Slaying Roar that day, impressed them from the bottom of their hearts.
Even with all her imagination, Ying Lili had never imagined that one day she would replace Mo Yi and become the leader of the Nayu clan. She had never even imagined that she would become the highest-ranking leader in this Xuming Continent.
When Ying Lili led the Nayu people to Yonghui City to meet up with the Shamo people, there was no doubt that everyone had begun to follow her lead.
At this time, Yonghui City was heavily garrisoned. Although Long Xin, who was originally stationed in Yonghui City, had led the elite Ruoye troops previously stationed in the Xu Ming Continent to the imperial city in the South China Sea because of the emergency in the Ruoye royal city, the arrival of thousands of Shamo wizards and Nayu people made this prosperous ancient city feel the breath of war again.
And this time, the person standing on Yonghui City was Ying Lili.
A leader recognized by both the arrogant and self-righteous Nayu people and the equally noble Shamo wizards.
Anyone would be impressed by a woman who had conquered two of the three great factions of the Xuming Continent. Furthermore, after the battle of Yonghui that day, even the Ruoye Clan of Yonghui City had shown similar respect for Ying Lili.
However, when Zhuo Ao appeared in Yonghui City with thousands of disciples from Wuji Fairy Palace and Penglai Fairyland, Ying Lili was dumbfounded.
As the direct disciple of the Holy Mother of Mount Li in Penglai Fairyland, it was reasonable for Qingluan to lead the disciples of Penglai Fairyland to come. However, when the new leader of Wuji Fairy Palace appeared in front of Pinglili, Pinglili was speechless for a long time.
She had never expected that the new leader of Wuji Immortal Palace would be him. Why was it him?!
Huai Lian, this man with an unclear relationship with Mo Yi. Wasn't he extremely disliked by the people of Wuji Xian Palace? Didn't he personally run back to Wuji Xian Palace to apologize for breaking the "Xuanmo Fuxi Formation"? How did he become the new head of Wuji Xian Palace?!
Moreover, when the current head of Yunshui Pavilion of Wuji Immortal Palace put forward the conditions on behalf of Wuji Immortal Palace to join forces with the races of Xuming Continent to fight against the demons, Ying Lili was speechless for a long time. She never thought that fate would play tricks on her like this.
Let Pinglili marry Huailian.
