Chapter 177 The Battle of the Chiefs
As soon as the doctor finished speaking, Yondu rushed up and grabbed his lapel, shouting loudly.

"Stop talking nonsense, my righteous father is so blessed and his martial arts are unrivaled in the world. How can this little poison allow him to live only ten days? It must be because you are not careful enough, or you are afraid that something will happen to you, and you will implicate yourself. Be wise and protect yourself, and don't want to contribute!"

"Young master misunderstood, the bounden duty of our doctors is to save lives and heal the wounded. You can kill us, but please don't insult our character as doctors!"

This doctor is upright and not cowardly at all.

"Okay, Yondu, they have tried their best. You should retreat first. Remember to keep it a secret. Anyone who tells me about my poisoning will be killed!"

The leader waved his hand at the doctors and said, and they left immediately.

Yondu felt that he had performed well in the scene just now, and he had to continue to work hard. He worked hard to exercise the muscles around the eyes, which stimulated the lacrimal glands and squeezed out some tears. At the same time, he knelt down beside the leader's bed, his face twisted, showing a Suppressing grief and pain, he held back the appearance of not crying loudly.

"Father, I..."

Before he could continue his filial son's lines, a clear and melodious female voice interrupted him.

"Uncle, can you pay it back?"

A beautiful-looking woman with fair skin and noble temperament walked over quickly and knelt in front of the bed. Her large, clear eyes were full of concern.

Seeing her innocent eyes, the leader rarely showed a smile and said calmly.

"Uncle has lived for nearly 200 years, and will be dying in the future. It may be a good thing to die now, because this leader..."

"Uncle, I'm a daughter, and I'm not strong in combat. If I sit on the leader's position, I'm afraid that everyone will not accept it. Why don't you let Yongdu be the leader? This is also his long-cherished wish. He dares to do anything for this goal! "

The niece interrupted the leader's words, speaking at an even rate, in a calm tone, without any emotion.

"Eileen, what do you mean, are you trying to frame me for sending assassins to assassinate the adoptive father? Why didn't you murder the adoptive father and gain the position of leader!"

Yondu was furious when he heard this, and asked immediately, judging from his expression and tone, he was not guilty at all.

"As we all know, your Yongdu's combat prowess and ability to manage the tribe are far superior to that of a weak woman like me. If my uncle dies now, then ninety-nine percent of the time, the position of leader will be yours.

If my uncle can live another 30 or [-] years, I don’t know what will happen during this period. He might pass the position of leader to me. You don’t have the patience to wait that long.

Although you are only a child adopted by your uncle, logically, you cannot inherit the position of leader, or the bloodline of the leader that has been passed down for thousands of years will be cut off from then on! "

Elaine immediately retorted, every word of which was heartbreaking.

Under her seemingly weak appearance, she is very strong in her heart. She is not afraid of retaliation against her if Yongdu becomes the leader, and always fights against her.

"you..."

Yondu was furious after hearing this, and was about to jump up and curse at Elaine.

"Okay, I believe that the assassin has nothing to do with you, both of you are qualified to be the leader, but now it's not just me who decides which of you will be the leader, nor the forces in the tribe, but a powerful warriors, and tomorrow he will choose one of you."

The leader interrupted Yondu and said.

Yondu and Elaine had different expressions when they heard it. Yondu was surprised, while Elaine was thoughtful. They all guessed who the leader was talking about.

Yongdu chased Lu Yu to the palace, but was ordered by the leader to retreat. After some conversation, the man was sent to the VIP room to rest.

The leader was referring to one person in particular, and it must be him. Unfortunately, the guards present at the time were all loyal to the leader and could not find out what they were saying.He also thought about asking the conversation through the assassin present, but Lu Yu's precise attack ensured that he had indeed fainted at that time and knew nothing.

Elaine also heard about someone breaking into the Immortal Palace alone tonight, and learned the details from the guards who took refuge with her.Even among the guards who were present when Lu Yu was talking to the leader, there were also her people, so she knew everything about the conversation word for word.

Even Yi Lian, who grew up in the Palace of Immortality, was well-informed and well-read, was surprised by what Lu Yu said and couldn't calm down for a long time.

In the tribe not far from them, there was such a big crisis, and it was a disaster of extermination. Most importantly, this disaster would also spread to them, to the three tribes with hundreds of millions of people.

Yi Lian believed Lu Yu's words 100%, and was convinced that he had the magical power to change the world. This is one of her awakened abilities, which is to accurately judge whether a person's words are true or false, even if she doesn't hear them in person, as long as she You can judge by knowing what this person has said.

Not only others don't know about her ability, but even the leader doesn't know about it. She is afraid that the leader will not be willing to get close to her after knowing it and will be wary of him.

And those guards and maids who rely on her are all conquered by her ability. Just imagine, she can accurately judge the truth of anything you say, and you have no secrets in front of her. Speak.

And she may be elected as the leader. Once you know that she has this ability, you will feel that she can strategize, control the development of things from everyone's words, and win thousands of miles away. How can you not surrender to her.

"Father, how can you let an outsider..."

Yondu couldn't help but wanted to ask, but was interrupted by the leader.

"Okay, if you have anything to do, we can talk about it tomorrow. I'm tired. You can go ahead."

The leader said weakly, looking really weak.

"Yes."

The two replied respectfully in unison, and then looked at each other. They both saw the pursuit of the leader's position in each other's eyes, but one was the gushing greed, and the other was the deep-seated desire.

The next morning, in the deliberation hall of the Immortal Palace, the leader sat early in the innermost part of the hall, in the exquisite seat on the high platform, full of energy and not angry.

It seemed that the poisoning last night was just a nightmare, but the corners of his mouth twitched from time to time, showing that he was always enduring the erosion of toxins in his body.

Under his seat, Yondu and Elaine sat on the left and right respectively, and on the other side sat the Hundred Thousand Commanders who supported them, a total of more than ten people, and behind the Hundred Thousand Commanders sat the Ten Thousand Commanders, There are more than 100 in total.

Many of them were called back from other cities overnight. Fortunately, they have a kind of animal tame that is good at speed, and it can reach a speed of two to three hundred kilometers per hour in the wild. Otherwise, it would take a long time to send someone to inform them , let alone rushed over overnight.

Although they had a sleepless night and worked hard all the way, these people at the top of the pyramid of the Immortal Tribe had no complaints. After all, this was the election of the next leader, a major event that was closely related to them and affected their future and destiny.

Almost each of them has a family behind them, and they are also divided into many factions. For their own interests, they check and cooperate with each other.

For example, in the leader election that is about to start today, they are divided into two factions. One faction believes that Yongdu is strong and good at managing the tribe. Being the leader will definitely lead the immortal tribe to continue its glory.

The other faction supports Elaine. The biggest reason is that she is from the leader's family, and her bloodline meets the conditions for being a leader, and she meets the inheritance of thousands of years.

Although she is not strong and appears quite weak, but because of this, after she is elected as the leader, she will definitely not be able to suppress them, and she will be able to have greater power.

In the end, the first female leader can even be turned into a puppet, and while maintaining the stability of the Immortal Tribe, these people will share the power and interests of the leader and become the uncrowned king of the Immortal Tribe!
It has become a constitutional monarchy in a certain sense. They are the big capitalists, and force is the best capital in the world, and they will control the entire tribe.

"Leader, since everyone is here, let's start the election of the leader. What kind of election method do you want, will we decide by voting, or will you announce it directly?"

An impatient captain of one hundred thousand asked.

When he reached his position, it didn't matter who was the leader. Anyway, his position could not be shaken, no matter in terms of personal strength or prestige among awakened fighters.

"Everyone, wait a moment, there is another important person who is not present."

The leader spoke slowly and in a low voice, it sounded like he wanted to speak with a sense of majesty, but in fact he had to speak slowly because he had to bear the pain.

"Who is it? Let us wait for him!"

"That's right, I went to visit those two tribes, and none of their leaders asked me to wait!"

"The leader asked us to wait, it must be a very important person, who could it be?"

. . . . . .

There was a lot of discussion among the people, the high-level executives had arrived, and the person waiting must be someone they were not familiar with or didn't know at all.

Lu Yu didn't want to be late, but the person the leader sent to pick him up was stopped, and then two people came one after the other. They were sent by Yondu and Elaine, both of whom came to ask Lu Yu who to choose as the leader.

Lu Yu would not be so stupid as to make a decision now, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble, besides, he has not even met the leader's niece yet.

After sending these two people to inquire without any results, they let the person who escorted Lu Yu over, which was a delay.

Maybe the two of them actually knew that they couldn't get anything out of the question, but they did this together with a tacit understanding. They just deliberately made Lu Yu late, so as to leave dissatisfaction with him in everyone's hearts and reduce his influence.

When Lu Yu came to the hall, everyone's eyes were immediately attracted to him. No need to ask, he was the one the leader wanted to wait for, because ordinary people would not attend such an important meeting fully armed.

Including a dozen or so hundred thousand captains, they all came in casual clothes and did not bring weapons.

"Carol, sit here with me."

Instead of blaming Lu Yu for being late, the leader asked the guards to bring a chair and put it next to him.
