This was what strength could bring!
A person’s strength not only determined their position or dignity, it also affected the words they said.
An expert’s words were as good as gold, and each word had its oomph.
A weakling’s words were the same as the sounds of farts, no one would care about it!
The present Yi Yun was relying on his strength to stand in the arena, or as a twelve year old child, how was he to show his might?
Lian Chengyu sneered and remained quiet. At this time, a yellow-robed elder stood up.
“Empty words!”
The elder with a harsh voice was naturally the Patriarch of the Lian tribal clan.
“You kid, how dare you instigate the masses with your wagging lies? The desolate bones were bought using all our savings, and with the help of our tribe managed to refine it successfully after tens of days! How could there be poison!?”
“This desolate bone essence has been eaten by Chengyu; if it was poisonous, the first person to be poisoned would be Chengyu!”
The Patriarch was extremely dignified for after being in charge of the Lian tribal clan for all these years, he had gained the authority.
Even though Yi Yun had the strength, whatever Yi Yun said would not have the weight compared to the Patriarch.
Besides, the Patriarch’s words were very reasonable.
The desolate bones was bought by the tribe at great expense to be refined for Lian Chengyu. If it had poison, it would have been equivalent to the tribe spending a great deal just to harm Lian Chengyu?
“The Patriarch is right! My fellow folks, don’t believe the kid’s words!”
“How can you trust the words of a twelve year old child?”
In the crowd, several people shouted. These people were the people who had Lian as their surname. They had mutual interests as the Lian tribal clan’s upper echelon; and some of them were similar to Lian Cuihua. They were the eyes on the ground for the Lian tribal clan upper echelon, responsible for whistleblowing and the spreading of rumors. By doing so, the upper echelon would give them extra food.
Seeing some of the villagers having doubts, these people said, “You think that little monkey is strong? Compared to Young master Lian, he’s nothing!”
“So what if he beat Zhao Tiezhu, Zhao Tiezhu is just like us, normal mortals. As for Young master Lian, he has already reached the Purple Blood realm. Do you even know what the Purple Blood realm is? Previously the Lord Zhang that came to our village was also in the Purple Blood realm, and he was almost the same as a god in the sky!”
Back then everyone knew that Zhang Yuxian rode a behemoth, and had brought down a large tree with a simple chop. The power of the Purple Blood realm was terrifying, in comparison, beating Zhao Tiezhu in wrestling was nothing.
“Yi Yun may seem strong to us, but compared to Young master Lian, he’s nothing worth mentioning! Only Young master Lian can lead us to a good life. It can’t be that you choose to believe this kid over Young master Lian!”
People began to shout once again.
It had to be said that having ruled the Lian tribal clan for so long, the ruling class was deep-rooted. For Yi Yun to say a few words to affect their standing would be very hard; furthermore, Yi Yun had no proof.
Also, the entire tribe’s efforts had been invested in Lian Chengyu, and Lian Chengyu had “not failed to disappoint the masses”, and “made greater breakthroughs” in his strength, “achieving” the Purple Blood realm.
With all their hopes on Lian Chengyu to change their lives, how could they stop believing Lian Chengyu and instead believe a twelve year old childlike Yi Yun?
It was the same even if Yi Yun defeated Zhao Tiezhu!
Yi Yun had already expected this and it did not matter to him. He did not hope to overturn Lian Chengyu with just words; he simply wanted to plant a seed of doubt within the people.
The vast wilderness was a world where power ruled supreme. Ever since time immemorial, it has been so!
Would a victor need to provide proof? It was superfluous, because the strongest victor’s words were the rules, the law and the truth.
Experts did not need more words to explain themselves. Others would subconsciously believe in it and eventually really believe in it.
By making his appearance today, Yi Yun had already mentally prepared to have a direct conflict with Lian Chengyu.
He knew that Lian Chengyu would not break through to the Purple Blood realm with that energy-less desolate bone “essence”.
Lian Chengyu was at the peak of the Qi Gatherer realm, while he was in the beginning stages of the Qi Gatherer realm, but at the same time had reached the realm of Dragon Pulse.
He was confident of this battle!
However, Yi Yun was still worried about Yao Yuan. He did not know Yao Yuan’s strength.
He waited for Lian Chengyu to make his move, and at the same time secretly observed Yao Yuan.
But surprisingly, Lian Chengyu had no plans to make any moves and was just looking at him with a dark look!
