In his past life, when Yan Yu was with Chen Lingyun, this despicable woman was already the "Number One Female Cultivator of the Zhendong Army," so Yan Yu wasn't quite sure how she had achieved that.
It must have been either by leveraging her first-mover advantage, using her family background, or flaunting her cunning eloquence... Definitely not by winning others over with her true strength, for reasons that go without saying.
Of course, if Chen Lingyun didn't take on the role of leader among the cultivators of the Zhendong Army, the cultivators would form into little cliques on their own, which was neither conducive to unity and camaraderie among themselves nor beneficial for those above to integrate and make use of them.
Especially as time went on, with more and more cultivators joining the battle teams but not enough resources to go around, conflicts between cultivators would intensify rapidly.
