Even without cheats, we must survive the apocalypse

Yu Yuan will not survive this night.

Chapter 64: Sleepless Night

Yushan left in a hurry, filled with anger and murderous intent.

Judging from his appearance, he had probably been dissatisfied with the great elder for a long time. However, Yushan was not strong enough, and he also had to take into account the clan rules and kinship, so he endured it until tonight.

I don't think I will tolerate it anymore.

As the clan leader, Yushan was constrained in every way by the great elder. He must have been very frustrated as the clan leader. Now he finally had a chance to explode.

"Someone is going to be in big trouble."

Huang Yanyao sat on the chair, resting her elbow on the armrest and supporting her chin, with a playful smile in her eyes: "It's a good thing for me."

"Heh~" Lu Mu chuckled and took a sip from the wine glass, "As long as it suits your taste."

Huang Yanyao glanced at him sideways and raised her glass, "I should thank you."

"You're welcome." Lu Mu sipped the glass elegantly.

The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

……

The night is cool as water, and the cold stars are twinkling.

At this moment, Yushan was sitting in the main seat in the conference hall, with three elders sitting on his left and right, all with their heads bowed and brows furrowed, looking trembling and uneasy.

Yushan sat with his legs crossed, looking dignified. His cloudy eyes swept over the people below and he said coldly, "Have you made your choice?"

The three elders looked at each other and sighed. One of them stood up and said, "Chief, the Great Elder has worked diligently for the tribe for more than two hundred years. He has made great contributions and has made great contributions. Can you please make some adjustments?"

"Think twice, clan leader. Killing one's own blood is a tragedy in this world."

There was a cry.

These elders exuded a stubborn aura of decay and corruption from head to toe. Just being in the same room with them made Yushan feel as if he were looking at a group of termites that fed on carrion and feasted on the blood vessels of their own tribe.

Yushan's expression became more serious, "Enough!"

Everyone immediately fell silent.

"Yu Yuan is ambitious and colludes with outsiders to bring our clan into an irreparable disaster. His crimes are so heinous that he deserves to be killed!"

Yushan slammed the table suddenly, his face full of solemnity and cruelty.

"Any of you who object will be buried with him!"

As Yushan finished speaking, the entire conference room fell silent. Apart from the rustling of the wind blowing through the treetops outside the window, no other sound could be heard.

They dared not disobey orders, but they were filled with resentment in their hearts - speaking of colluding with outsiders, Yushan had placed the fate of the entire Quetzalcoatl tribe on the shoulders of the Ninth Princess. Was such trust worth it?

She is really too young. Can she handle such political schemes?

If they can't handle it, Huang Yanyao still has the confidence to protect herself from any harm, but the Quetzalcoatl tribe doesn't have that.

But Yushan is the strongest in the clan, and now he has the support of the Ninth Princess. His confidence is no longer the same as before. Even if they have many dissatisfactions, no one dares to speak out. Their backer is the Great Elder, and now Yushan is going to cut off this backer.

"Since everyone agrees with my decision, I will now announce... the dismissal of Yu Yuan as the Great Elder! From now on, Yu Yuan is a traitor to our tribe and will be expelled from the tribe!"

A hammer is fixed.

The expressions of the elders became increasingly strange, but no one said anything.

Since it is a foregone conclusion that Yu Yuan will be expelled from the tribe and even die as a result, then their hearts are eager to take his place...

The position of Grand Elder is not an empty title.

If Yu Yuan died, there would no longer be anyone with prestige to take the position of the main branch of Yushan, and the position of the great elder would have to fall to their branches. The key point is, who can get a piece of this cake?

"I know what you want."

Yushan suddenly spoke, his tone so calm it was almost eerie.

Upon hearing this, the elders from different clan branches immediately became alert.

"The position of the Grand Elder, I think you old guys have been craving for a long time..." Yushan's eyes swept over them one by one, like a poisonous sand snake lurking in the Gobi Desert, staring at its prey, "If you want it, then it depends on who contributes more."

"Yu Yuan, you must die tonight."

Yushan stood up and waved his hand slightly, and a guard in full armor and holding a spear walked in from outside the door.

"Call the snake guards to surround Yu Yuan's mansion. The elders and I will be there soon. Anyone who dares to enter or leave the mansion before we arrive will be killed without mercy!"

The guards took the order and retreated.

"Everyone, it's time to set off."

Yushan was the first to walk out of the door, and the sound of his voice echoed.

The elders looked at each other, knowing that tonight would not pass peacefully, but for their own benefit, it was necessary to contribute. Now Yushan had become the only person in the tribe who could not be disobeyed, so what other choices did they have?

……

"Last night, in the south of Yusha City, shouts of killing reached the sky. The feathered serpents broke through the mansion in the south of the city and fought with the guards."

"Great Elder Yu Yuan fought to the death with the other seven people, but gradually lost their strength and was eventually killed under the courtyard wall."

"The entire mansion has been reduced to ruins, and blood has flowed like a river."

Huang Yanyao stood in front of the mirror and took off her nightgown. Reflected in the mirror was her figure wearing undergarments and panties. Behind her, two maids were lifting the cuffs of her palace skirt and dressing her.

The female official stood aside and read out the news that echoed throughout the city last night.

The morning in the desert is always quiet, and Huang Yanyao is happy to enjoy this quietness. After listening to the female official's report, she chuckled and waved her hand: "Got it, you can leave."

"Yes, and also, Chief Yushan has set up a private banquet in the flower garden of the mansion and invites you to attend."

The female official bowed and withdrew.

"I want to claim the reward. I can't wait."

Huang Yanyao's red lips curled up in a hint of sarcasm.

She changed into new clothes, tied her hair into a simple bun, and went out.

As soon as she stepped onto the porch, she saw a man in purple walking towards her. Lu Mu had always had a good figure, tall and straight, but most of his face was covered by the mask. She had a faint smile on her face that said everything. In fact, Huang Yanyao didn't really like him wearing a mask, after all, the Shura Saint was also a man of some good looks.

Of course, she likes to be admired, just as Lu Mu likes to admire her.

"I'm very happy. There's good news so early in the morning. You're not in a bad mood anymore, are you?"

Lu Mu narrowed his narrow phoenix eyes slightly, with an ambiguous and teasing look in his eyes, looking at Huang Yanyao as if he was deliberately teasing her.

Huang Yanyao rolled her eyes at him and said, "Stop talking nonsense to me."

"You look beautiful dressed like this." Lu Mu stretched out his hand, trying to smooth the hair around her ears. Huang Yanyao dodged him sideways. Lu Mu smiled, withdrew his hand, turned around and continued walking forward with her.

"Where are we going?"

"Attending a private dinner."

"The commotion last night was not small at all. I'm afraid Chief Yushan hasn't had time to explain to his tribe members yet."

Lu Mu stopped and looked back at Huang Yanyao, with a strange tenderness and tenderness in his eyes.

“I’m afraid that the Quetzalcoatl tribe is not the only ones who heard these noises… At this time, he cut off his own arm and killed one of the only two Yuanji Realm cultivators in the tribe. I wonder how many people in this desert will start to stir up trouble.”

Huang Yanyao knew that everything would go in a bad direction for the Quetzalcoatl tribe or for her.

How to make it better is the most important thing.

Chapter 65: Reward

The private banquet was held in a spacious flower garden, which was surrounded by high walls and built with pavilions. As soon as she stepped in, Huang Yanyao could find that there was also a small spiritual formation here to maintain the balance of spiritual energy.

It is not easy to create such a scene full of floral fragrance in the desert.

Yushan sat under the stone pavilion in the middle of the flower garden. There were wine and food on the table, but it was not rich. Naturally, he also took into account that Huang Yanyao was not the kind of person who would make a big fuss in the early morning, so he prepared candied fruits that were rare in the desert and some sweet tea and wine.

Huang Yanyao and Lu Mu walked in side by side. Seeing them, Yu Shan stood up and said, "Your Highness, I hope you will accept some wine and snacks."

"Since the clan leader has invited me, I will come as promised."

Huang Yanyao nodded slightly and sat on the stone bench. Lu Mu still sat next to her.

Yushan laughed and flicked his fingertips. Two jade cups carved from jasper were moved in front of them. Yushan held the pot, tilted the mouth of the pot, and the mellow wine slowly flowed out.

"Your Highness, please."

Yushan picked up the wine bottle and handed it to Huang Yanyao respectfully.

"Thank you, patriarch."

Huang Yanyao responded politely.

They each drank it, but after a moment, they felt a heat wave surging in their bodies. Huang Yanyao's cheeks felt slightly hot, and she secretly used her internal energy to dispel the alcohol.

They each drank a glass and then talked about the main business.

"The noise that Chief Yushan made last night was... a bit too loud."

Huang Yanyao picked up the candied fruit and put it into her mouth.

Yushan seemed to be unconcerned and just smiled faintly, "Over the years, there have been many troubles within the Quetzalcoatl tribe. Although there are clan rules, it is inevitable that some people can't help but take the opportunity to cause chaos. For the future of our clan, we must do it."

Changing the subject, he added: "I am also doing this to ensure the stability of the clan."

This sounds very reasonable, but Huang Yanyao is not stupid. If she hadn't given Yushan a little push, he probably wouldn't have made up his mind to get rid of Yu Yuan until now. After all, it would not sound good if the clan leader wanted to kill the great elder, especially because the clan leader did it at the suggestion of outsiders.

He placed all his hopes on her.

If the Quetzalcoatl tribe can leave the desert in the future and gradually rise under her command, no one will question his decision anymore.

If the opposite happens, I'm afraid it will be difficult to suppress the rebellious spirit within the clan, and it will certainly fall apart. The division of the clan is tantamount to cutting off one's own arms, and it would not be surprising to be eaten by others as a small fish.

"What's the damage?"

Huang Yanyao asked casually.

Last night, the whole city knew about the Ziqing clan. She didn't care about Yu Yuan's life or death, but how could the Great Elder not cultivate a group of forces to win over her? She knew that most of those people would not be loyal dogs, but were coerced and induced to follow Yu Yuan step by step.

If those people were killed as well, the Quetzalcoatl tribe would suffer a huge loss.

Then the subsequent layout will be even more difficult to make.

"On Yu Yuan's side, besides himself, five Pigong Realm and twelve Hedao Realm died, and more than a hundred of my snake guards were killed or injured. On my side, six Pigong Realm and ten Hedao Realm were killed or injured."

Yushan sighed, looking lonely.

Lu Mu extended his spiritual sense and penetrated deep into Yushan's body... This clan leader had been seriously injured, and his body was filled with medicinal power that had not yet been completely digested. It would probably take several months for him to fully recover.

Huang Yanyao and Lu Mu looked at each other, and their opinions suddenly intertwined.

The Wuyan Desert is a desolate gobi with little in the way of mineral deposits, and the spiritual energy is of course much thinner. Not counting the blood defects of these half-demon tribes, the monks at the Pigong realm are the absolute backbone of the tribe. However, after the bloody battle last night, the Quetzalcoatl tribe suffered eleven casualties.

The cost is indeed serious.

There must be many outside spies in Yusha City. They must have sent the news back to their own forces. By then, the Quetzalcoatl tribe will probably be in trouble.

Lian Yushan himself suffered such injuries. He tried to hide it, but this kind of thing could not be concealed.

"I'm afraid the Quetzalcoatl tribe can't bear such a blow."

Lu Mu spoke in a low voice.

"Yes." Yushan nodded, his face full of worry, "I'm afraid that those former enemies of our clan will not let go of this great opportunity... Now the best plan can only depend on you, Your Highness the Ninth Prince."

"Well... I said, you did what you should do, and I will never treat you unfairly."

Huang Yanyao took out the jade bottle. That drop of Gu Yue Yulong's blood was still active, as if it had its own life, spinning around.

Yushan immediately stood up, stretched out his hands, and carefully took the bottle of essence and blood. When the jade bottle fell into his hands and he could feel the warmth emanating from the essence and blood, he felt relieved, breathed a sigh of relief, looked up, and looked at Huang Yanyao with intense joy in his eyes.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

He bowed his hands in thanks, feeling very excited. With that essence and blood, the strength of the entire tribe would rise to a higher level in just a few years.

With this essence and blood to make up for the defects of their demon bloodline, Yushan even has the hope of reaching the realm of creation. Regardless of success or failure, he will definitely become the strongest person in the Wuyan Desert!
