Chapter 109: The Battle for Supremacy
Xuanyuan led his army to surround the city of the Lieshan tribe. Just when it seemed that the Lieshan tribe was about to be completely defeated, Chiyou led the Jiuli tribe to attack. Faced with the powerful fighting force of the Jiuli tribe, even the well-trained army of the Youxiong tribe was no match for them. Helpless, Xuanyuan had no choice but to retreat. Chiyou, however, was not giving up and led the Jiuli tribe to pursue Xuanyuan all the way until Xuanyuan completely withdrew from the south.
Inside the Lieshan tribe, Yuwang warmly hosted a banquet for Chiyou and a group of high-ranking members of the Jiuli tribe.
"Uncle-Master, thanks to your timely arrival, otherwise I would have been killed by that brat Xuanyuan." Yu Wang thanked Chi You, having truly escaped death this time, and was still shaken.
"Nephew, you are too kind. We are from the same sect. Your father, Shennong Dihuang, has done great deeds for the human race. It is both morally and logically that I cannot stand by and watch the Lieshan tribe be destroyed. However, nephew, although Xuanyuan failed this time, his ambition to unify the human race has not died. He will probably make a comeback in the future. Nephew, you should make plans as soon as possible to avoid future disasters," Chi You said.
Chi You first explained his reasons for coming to rescue the Lieshan tribe, and then he took the initiative to remind Yu Wang that Xuanyuan would not let the matter rest. His words were a clear reminder to Yu Wang that he was no match for Xuanyuan and should submit to him.
Upon hearing this, Yu Wang was torn. How could he not know what Chi You was thinking? But as the son of Shennong, Yu Wang had his own pride, especially since Shennong was still the ruler of the human race. Yu Wang couldn't let go of his father's glory. But what Chi You said made a lot of sense. He was no match for Xuanyuan at all. If he continued to insist, he would probably die and his race would be wiped out. At that time, how could he face Shennong?
After struggling internally for a long time, Yuwang finally made a decision and knelt on one knee in front of Chiyou.
"Nephew, why are you doing this?" Chi You asked, feigning shock.
Yu Wang said, "Uncle-Master, I have thought this through. Before, I was delusional, trying to defy fate with the power of my clan, which almost led to the destruction of the Lieshan tribe. Now I have come to my senses and I am willing to lead the Lieshan tribe to submit to you, Uncle-Master, and support you as the common leader of the human race!"
Yu Wang understood perfectly well that he could never defeat Xuan Yuan, but he couldn't bring himself to submit to Xuan Yuan either. In this bloody battle, the Lieshan tribe and the Youxiong tribe had already forged a deep-seated blood feud. Even if Yu Wang voluntarily submitted, he wouldn't have a good ending. Rather than that, he might as well go all the way down this path. Now that the entire human race had been released, only Chi You could rival Xuan Yuan. Therefore, Yu Wang decided to fully support Chi You.
"Nephew, are you really sure?" Chi You didn't answer immediately, but asked Yu Wang if he was sincere.
Yu Wang nodded and said, "Uncle-Master, I have thought it through very clearly, and I am willing to use my father's name to subdue the southern tribes for you." Yu Wang indicated that he not only thought it through very clearly, but was also willing to subdue the southern tribes for Chi You.
"Good!" Upon hearing this, Chi You was overjoyed and helped Yu Wang up, saying, "Nephew, I am worried that if one day I, Chi You, can become the ruler of the human race, the Lieshan tribe and the Jiuli tribe will share honor and disgrace and never betray each other. If we break this oath, may Heaven and Earth not forgive us!"
"Thank you, Uncle-Master!" Having received Chi You's promise, Yu Wang was completely relieved.
With the help of Yuwang and the powerful strength of the Jiuli tribe, Chiyou quickly subdued all the southern tribes and integrated the eastern and southern tribes.
After the Jiuli tribe subdued the southern tribes, the Panwang Palace, which had maintained neutrality, also expressed its support for the Jiuli tribe and sent a large number of experts to join Chiyou's army. Since Chiyou was a disciple of the Xuan Chu lineage, a large number of martial artists from the human race also joined Chiyou's side. This made the Xuanmen unable to sit still. Xuandu personally stepped forward and, in the name of the Supreme Lord, called on the Golden Core cultivators to support Xuanyuan.
After thoroughly consolidating his forces, Chi You decided to strike first and led his army to attack Xuanyuan. Unlike the Lieshan tribe, although the Jiuli tribe was not as disciplined and well-trained as the Youxiong tribe, it still managed to defeat the Youxiong tribe by virtue of its strong fighting power.
Faced with the powerful offensive of Chi You and the Jiuli tribe, Xuanyuan had no choice but to retreat again and again. In the end, he was driven to the land of Zhuolu by Chi You. At this time, Xuanyuan also received support from the western tribes. The two sides gathered their last strength and decided to fight a decisive battle at Zhuolu to decide the fate of the world.
Xuanyuan's defeat made Yuanshi, who was far away in Kunlun Mountain, restless. In order to reverse the defeat, Yuanshi sent the Twelve Golden Immortals, the Two Immortals of Fortune and Virtue, and the Vice Leader of the Chan Sect, Randeng, to the Battle of Zhuolu. He also persuaded Taishang to let Xuandu join the battle.
With the Human and Chan sects mobilizing their full forces, the Jie sect naturally refused to be outdone. Jinpeng personally returned to Jin'ao Island to seek reinforcements. With Tongtian's support, the Jie sect's eight top disciples and a host of inner and outer disciples went to compete for supremacy.
Thus, almost all the forces of the human race joined this great war, leaving the high-ranking members of the human race's holy temple feeling utterly powerless. They discovered that, as the core of the human race, they were unable to intervene in this war, because the two sides had already fought to the bitter end. The moon was waning and could not be restored; even if the human race's holy temple forcibly suppressed it, it would not change the situation. Helpless, the high-ranking members of the human race's holy temple could only watch helplessly as the human race, which they had painstakingly built up, embarked on the tragedy of mutual slaughter.
Inside the Jiuli tribe's camp, Kong Xuan gathered all his disciples to prepare for this great battle.
"Jinpeng!" Kong Xuan called out to Jinpeng.
"Big brother!" Jin Peng replied.
Kong Xuan said, "Go and send a challenge to the Xuanmen. Tell them that in three days, our Jie Sect will test the skills of the Xuanmen fellow Daoists." Kong Xuan knew very well that the outcome of this great battle between Chi You and Xuanyuan was not the decisive factor. The real decisive factor was the great battle between them and the Ren and Chan sects. As long as they defeated the Xuanmen, Chi You could crush Xuanyuan in one fell swoop. Conversely, if they failed, then Chi You would be utterly defeated under the combined attack of Xuanyuan and the Xuanmen.
"Yes, brother!"
Jinpeng arrived at the camp of the Youxiong tribe and shouted loudly, "Jinpeng, a disciple of the Jiejiao sect of the Xuanmen lineage, has come to visit. I request that Fellow Daoist Xuandu, the chief disciple of the Renjiao sect, and Fellow Daoist Guangchengzi, the chief disciple of the Chanjiao sect, appear to meet me."
Inside the Xiong tribe's camp, Xuandu and Guangchengzi were still discussing how to fight the enemy when they suddenly heard Jinpeng's voice. Guangchengzi asked Xuandu, "Senior Brother Xuandu, in your opinion, what is the purpose of Jinpeng's visit?"
Xuan Du said with a serious expression, "What else could it be? Jin Peng has come to issue a challenge. In the end, we still have to fight against the Xuan Chu lineage to settle the score. Let's go, let's go out and see Jin Peng."
Xuandu, Guangchengzi, and a group of Chan Sect disciples walked out of the camp.
Xuandu asked, "What brings you here, Fellow Daoist Jinpeng?"
Jin Peng said, "By order of the headmaster, I invite all fellow Daoists of the Chan and Er sects to a duel in three days."
"As expected, they've come to issue a challenge," Xuan Du and Guang Chengzi thought to themselves.
"Alright, Xuanmen accepts this challenge!" Xuandu, as the first person of the third generation of Xuanmen, accepted the challenge. After all, this battle was inevitable. Rather than dragging it out and making a fool of themselves in front of the Jie Sect, it would be better to have a grand battle and also to assess the strength of the Jie Sect's disciples.
"Alright, since that's the case, fellow Daoists, see you in three days!" Seeing Xuandu accept the challenge, Jinpeng left.
After Jin Peng returned, Kong Xuan began to make arrangements for the decisive battle.
