Becoming evil makes you ten times stronger, but becoming a demon gives you hundredfold strength-Chapter 207 - 187: A Man Without Authority Will Not Stand

Bit of a snag in writing, so I’m a little late, just one update now, the next chapter will be between eight and nine o’clock, sorry.

...

In the Western Wastes, at the Moon-Watching Sect.

When Fu Youzhi heard Meng Yu mention five hundred thousand bushels, even a million bushels, his heart almost leaped out of his throat.

He understood better than anyone what this amount of Spirit Stones meant for the current plight of the Mysterious Heaven Sect.

Especially since Meng Yu kindly stated that only a thirty percent advance payment was necessary.

His face flushed red, he was about to promise something when he suddenly felt his wife’s Divine Sense gently, rhythmically poking him as a sign of caution against deceit, something the two had agreed upon.

What?

His mouth twitched, wanting to say something, but he found himself unable to speak. Deceit, where was there deceit?

He was an expert in farming; the details in the video played just now were entirely genuine. How could it be a fake?

But still, he politely reverted to their prior agreement, suggesting to Meng Yu that he could make the decision for a ten-thousand-bushel trade, but for a larger amount, he would need to contact his superiors.

"Hmm, how soon can you give an answer?"

Meng Yu asked like this.

"It will take two months."

Just as Fu Youzhi was about to say that it could be decided within a week, his wife suddenly stepped forward and spoke.

Then, her Divine Sense stabbed Fu Youzhi once more, signaling that she had the final say and that there was something wrong with the deal.

Meng Yu blinked, blinked again, looked at the plain-faced, robust-limbed Fu Youzhi, and then at his beautiful wife with the higher cultivation, and suddenly chuckled.

The change in Fu Youzhi’s attitude was very amusing, amusing to the point of being passionately enthusiastic one moment and visibly timid the next, showing a sudden distrust of him.

A customer carrying a large sum of cash arrives in a strange place, suddenly stumbles on a fantastic deal that could earn more than tenfold profit, and just when their sharp companion realizes something’s off—isn’t that the most common scam?

"Please, discuss amongst yourselves; make yourselves at home."

Meng Yu didn’t get angry—as bargaining over a money-making deal was normal.

"Wait a moment, Mr. Meng, we can draft a suitable trade contract. Look, isn’t a thirty percent down payment too much? Mysterious Heaven Sect is a major sect in the Central Plains; we would never deceive anyone. Also, the price you quoted..."

Fang Zhenghua stood out with a piercing and intelligent glint in her eyes.

She was the daughter of an elder. After her first husband died, she remarried Fu Youzhi, had been managing the household, overseeing the finances, and was adept at what she did. Being sent out for this procurement, the sect had urged her to watch over her husband, who was too honest and easily deceived.

Well, she thought so too.

Right, even if it wasn’t a scam, she was from the Mysterious Heaven Sect; these people from the Western Wastes probably didn’t know how powerful the Mysterious Heaven Sect was. With Nascent Soul Masters and many Golden Cores, tripling the market price was an outright rip-off.

Look at that rabbit, the jade rabbit that looked astonished, overjoyed, even ecstatic upon hearing about the million bushels of food.

If she thought they could make a huge profit, then there was room for negotiation. The Mysterious Heaven Sect couldn’t afford to lose too much.

She carefully watched Meng Yu, waiting to see how he would respond—angrily, evasively, or with heartfelt sincerity?

"Heh heh, heh heh."

Meng Yu’s lips twitched, his interest waning.

He looked at Master Lin, and with a helpless spread of his hands, as if to say it wasn’t that he was unprincipled, but that they had brought along someone too foolish.

"No more words, Mr. Meng, it’s my mistake. I apologize, sorry."

Master Lin didn’t say anything but simply led the two people away. Although Fang Zhenghua seemed discontented, she still turned and left.

Once they left the Moon-Watching Sect, Master Lin’s sleeve loosened, releasing the two people.

"The two of you may return now. Pavilion of a Hundred Treasures is no longer interested in this business. Discuss it on your own; I’ll take my leave to apologize to Mr. Meng," he said.

He had been cautioned repeatedly on his way here not to underestimate the Moon-Watching Sect; now, this fiasco had occurred.

...

Only two people were left in the room.

"You, you, you, you!"

Meng Yu’s finger jabbed on Bai Qianqian’s forehead, the venerable ancestor with red eyes and white hair getting thumped by Meng Yu forcefully one after another.

"What was that expression just now? Haven’t I told you not to watch when I’m dealing and to keep any expressions to yourself? And you, you got so excited your ears even twitched twice."

"But, this is a pure profit of thirty million spirit stones!"

Although severely chastised by Meng Yu, Bai Qianqian’s eyes were not red at all; instead of crying, she excitedly hugged Meng Yu’s arm.

"I thought you would say it’s a pure profit of twenty-seven million spirit stones?"

Meng Yu looked at Bai Qianqian with a bit of confusion.

One hundred thousand loads of spirit rice for thirty million spirit stones, one million loads then equal thirty million spirit stones. This was the selling price set by Meng Yu of the Western Wastes; of course, it would not be a big deal to increase it by another ten million.

The sale price of three million spirit stones was the super friendly and conscientious rate that Meng Yu gave to Tan Xingyu. Anywhere in the Immortal Sect, it would spur landlords to kill for it. If Tan Xingyu had a son, he would surely need to come and acknowledge Meng Yu as a godfather.

"No, the Immortal Sect has export tax refund policies, as well as various subsidies. We can also use spirit stones for high leverage mortgages, and even to better facilitate exports, a lot of samples will be arranged. When all is said and done, it will all be pure profit."

Bai Qianqian said, smugly proud of herself. How could she not be excited? With a pure profit of thirty million spirit stones, she wasn’t just getting something for nothing. Whether it’s the Mysterious Heaven Sect, Tan Xingyu, or even Star Gate, everyone would benefit. As for her, from then on, she could lie happily on a mountain of spirit stones and do nothing, ensuring happiness for everyone in the Moon-Watching Sect.

"Don’t get too excited too early, this business deal is hard to close. The people from Mysterious Heaven Sect... look down on us."

Meng Yu sighed.

"What?"

"For business, the first thing is to be respected by others. Otherwise, guess why I’m buying Divine Thunder."

Meng Yu said with a cold laugh.

...

Meanwhile, in the Immortal Sect.

Master Ouyang was happily reading a newspaper.

This was a famous paper within the Immortal Sect, with a front-page headline "The dignity of the law cannot be sullied."

The front-page content was written by a renowned editor, discussing the recent deeds of Meng Yu, stating that such crimes were intolerable.

This editor was actually implementing the will of the upper echelons of the Immortal Sect. After review by the council members, who found no fault with it, the article was published. The editor pointed out that Meng Yu’s crimes were unforgivable, and his only option was to surrender rather than hold out for a better deal. Now, a tiny faction thought that negotiations with Meng Yu should be considered to avoid losses, but this was absolutely unacceptable. Economic interests are very important, but they must adhere to the laws of the Immortal Sect. In the face of evil challenges, the Immortal Sect should strike with an iron fist and apprehend Meng Yu.

After reading the article three times, Master Ouyang’s stunning face was filled with pride. In her eyes, Meng Yu was already on a dead-end street.

The fool thought he could intimidate and win over those Golden Core council members, but he did not understand the real power of the Immortal Sect. It was about Divinity Transformation, Divine Artifacts, and the right of public participation established at its inception.

And the law.

This time, the Moon God investigated public opinion, which played a significant role in the vote!

The public may sympathize with Meng Yu but would not agree with pardoning him. Simply put, they couldn’t bear to see Meng Yu suffer but would definitely not want to see him marry a wealthy beauty and reach the peak of success!

The very people Meng Yu relied on had betrayed him!

Now, finally, the drama had ended, and the higher-ups had made a decision.

So... below, what Meng Yu could do was simply to surrender, to admit his mistakes and become the dog of the Immortal Sect, or go mad and be taken out by the real big shots descending from the heavens.

The Immortal Sect could have taken care of Meng Yu earlier, but it had not truly mobilized. Mirror Twelve was not convenient to make a move, but what about the other big shots?

After four months of debate, the supreme institution of the Immortal Sect had finally ruled to come down hard on Meng Yu.

The reason was simple: Meng Yu’s last triple robbery was exceptionally insulting!

During this time, Master Taohua, Master Lihua, Tan Xingyu, and even Zhuge Caihua left many messages for Meng Yu with the tacit permission of the Immortal Sect, including promises from bigwigs that if Meng Yu cooperated, he would be guaranteed safety, and so on.

But during these four months, Meng Yu did not come online at all. He didn’t contact anyone, acting like a fool, ignoring everything at this critical juncture and rushing forward without a second thought!

All those who defended him were slapped in the face time and again. He was arrogant and complacent, thinking himself invincible, but he failed to see the depths of the Immortal Sect.

Over the years, the Immortal Sect had come to a clear understanding of Meng Yu’s behavior patterns, including his one to two-month cooldown period for crossing over, his combat methods, his thought processes, and so on. Even that girl named Bai Qianqian, records were kept on how strong her combat abilities were.

The hunting squads were now ready.

If he dared to appear in a Minor World of the First Grade, several Golden Core experts would suppress their cultivation to the pinnacle of Qi Cultivation and go to kill him, accompanied by hundreds, if not thousands, of Death Squad members.

Just because he claimed invincibility in the First Grade World, it didn’t mean his swordsmanship and martial skills could defeat these Golden Core experts, who had been sword training for hundreds of years and also comprehended Sword Intent, or even more.

Before, everyone feared him because everyone in the First Grade World was fragile and it wasn’t worth dying for, but now, with a group teaming up, and the Death Squad backing them up, what was there to fear?

And if he and Bai Qianqian showed up in a Third Grade World, then a revival of the Golden Core Group would be launched. For example, five Golden Core Middle Stage experts could form the Five Elements Formation. How long could Bai Qianqian hold up?

This time, the Immortal Sect was genuinely taking Meng Yu seriously, prepared to crush all of his resistance with an iron fist.

Hahaha, the superior plots, and then crushes you, you wretched vermin!

Accustomed to the rules of the game, she was extraordinarily excited at this moment.
