Becoming evil makes you ten times stronger, but becoming a demon gives you hundredfold strength-Chapter 208 - 188: Thousand Clouds Bleed into Seas

A flying boat sped toward the largest city in the Western Wastes at its fastest velocity, with Fu Youzhi and Fang Zhenghua facing each other with stony expressions, neither willing to look at the other.

They had just had a fierce argument not long before.

"There’s something wrong with this deal! And Meng Yu is very suspicious too!"

Fang Zhenghua’s voice was very firm and forceful.

"How could such a good thing simply fall into our lap?

One million dan of Spirit Rice, thirty million Spirit Stones, don’t you feel this is a scam? The people in the Western Wastes, seeing the plight of the Mysterious Heaven Sect, not only refuse to help but instead, they want to swindle us of our Spirit Stones.

The video is real, but it’s from a Memory Stone. A skilled illusionist can replicate that as well, and who knows if it’s from a few hundred or a few thousand years ago?

Fu Youzhi, use your brain and think about it. There are obviously problems here!"

Fang Zhenghua always felt her husband was not the sharpest, and if it wasn’t for her looking after the household, they would have long been swindled of everything.

"Also, that Meng Yu, did you notice how lecherous he is? The reason I agreed to bring along that aunt and niece was to see how Meng Yu would behave. And then you look, he spoke to them in soft whispers and so forth, and even glanced lewdly at their chests several times, clearly unsatisfied with his desires.

I’m not saying that a lecher is necessarily a scammer, but someone born into great wealth, if suffering from lust, would have played around and then moved on, unlike Meng Yu, who just behaves... like you, full of lust but lacking courage!"

"Is there more?"

Fu Youzhi’s expression was grave, waiting for his wife to state the real reason. Indeed, today he too had taken a good couple of looks at the beauties from the Five Directions Tower.

"Isn’t that enough?"

"You’re not joking?"

Fu Youzhi suddenly became angry.

"What is Bai Qianqian’s reputation worth, being one of the Nine Great Divine Beasts?"

"Master Lin belongs to the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, doesn’t he know the stakes?"

"Are thirty million Spirit Stones a lot?"

He asked three questions in rapid succession and then suddenly realized.

"Ah, you called me out here not because you found out Meng Yu is some expert from the Demonic Path, or that the Spirit Rice was poisoned, or that he’s an undercover sent by the enemy. You’re just worried about being swindled of thirty million Spirit Stones, so you called me out in front of Meng Yu, in front of Master Lin, in front of Bai Qianqian, when Meng Yu showed great goodwill, willing to supply one million dan of Spirit Rice at less than triple the market price for quick delivery, your brain suddenly got kicked by a donkey, and you jump out to display your ’wisdom’!"

Fu Youzhi was now roaring, as people outside had always said his wife was very smart, that she was the one running the Fu family, and now, did she really believe that?

It’s right to make and save money, but that requires using your brain!

"Go take a look at the Moon-Watching Sect, see how many have died there. They play act and scam, but four Golden Core cultivators died in a single battle. Their lingering aura has yet to dissipate. Now, I’m asking you, how much is a Golden Core worth?

Are you crazy? They would scam you, and you think you’re worth it? Thirty million Spirit Stones, guess how much was spent for us to pass quickly through that vast dangerous territory, do you know how much Spirit Rice is needed at the front and back?

Many are fighting to the death on the frontlines, and you would let their loved ones behind starve or even have their cultivation regress or ruin their futures because of a shortage of Spirit Rice? Are you a pig?"

"You’re yelling at me..."

His wife on the opposite side suddenly burst into tears.

Then, she came up with a thousand reasons, essentially saying, doesn’t the Mysterious Heaven Sect have the right to question? As a buyer, can’t I choose the conditions of the transaction? I’m your wife, why are you being harsh with me?

She couldn’t win the argument with reason, so now she’s resorting to yelling?

...

Yanyang Star, the base of operations for the Zhao family.

The birthplace of siblings Zhao Yuxiang and Zhao Yuxuan, and the personal residence of the retired Hall Master Zhao.

Master Zhao was seated cross-legged amidst the clouds, conversing with several juniors.

Ever since the Immortal Sect resolution to take a hard stance against Meng Yu, these days, the various heightened securities on Yanyang Star had even significantly impacted the income of the middle and lower tiers of the Zhao family, such as a cliff-like decline in the number of tourists coming to Yanyang Star. The local real estate market prices had also plummeted, and many locals were moving away.

Everyone knew that the most hated were two families now, the Zhao and Ouyang families.

By the way, it’s worth mentioning that this time, unlike the previous pursuit of Meng Yu initiated by the Enforcement Hall, an internal enforcement department of the Immortal Sect, the current operation involved the military forces of the Immortal Sect.

"Be careful recently, his good days are numbered... don’t get dragged into his final madness," Hall Master Zhao admonished his subordinates. This operation against Meng Yu was also the result of him mobilizing various forces and pushing for it from behind.

Meng Yu wielded an extremely terrifying power and possessed an antisocial terror personality; it was imperative to eradicate him as soon as possible. The previous documents from the Enforcement Hall indicated that he was actually very fragile and not impossible to eliminate, and so on.

If it were possible to quantify Meng Yu’s hatred, Zhao Chongyang would undoubtedly rank first.

In a thousand years of the Immortal Sect, Meng Yu was the first Qi Refinement Practitioner to be dealt with in such a manner!

"Right, make sure Xuan stays on the Supreme Star and doesn’t come back. If anything happens here, he will be the hope of the Zhao Family,"

Zhao Chongyang said with a smile, ready to face any challenge.

...

Supreme Star, Thousand Cloud Mountain.

This was a sacred place for cultivation, with a thousand peaks dispersed among the sea of clouds, abundant in Spiritual Energy and with an excellent environment.

After Foundation Establishment, Zhao Yuxuan became a Patrol Officer here.

A year ago, Zhao Yuxuan established his Foundation.

Establishing Foundation at twenty-two years old, he was an exceptionally prominent individual. Among the examinees of the 10008th joint entrance examination of the Immortal Sect, he was the first to establish Foundation.

In terms of Cultivation, he made rapid progress in Pure Yang Technique. Now, with his Early Foundation Establishment Cultivation, he could match ordinary Late Foundation Establishment experts, and could even counter-kill.

Four years of experiencing trials and tribulations from all sides had allowed him to grow. Whether it was members of the Zhao Family or some seniors who knew him, they all said his future was boundless.

Some might give up on themselves amidst the violent storms, but some grow amid the death of their sister, the death of many, and amidst various kinds of rumors.

He did not hide in Zhao Chongyang’s cave dwelling, but instead, he returned to the Supreme Star to start the twenty-year obligatory service for the Immortal Sect expected of cultivators, and Thousand Cloud Mountain was his assigned place.

He was amiable and hard-working, and everyone on Thousand Cloud Mountain had a good impression of him.

As for the rumors that Meng Yu would definitely seek revenge on Zhao Yuxuan, potentially dragging everyone down with him, Thousand Cloud Mountain’s management scoffed at such talk.

Firstly, this was the Supreme Star; unless Meng Yu was insane, how dare he cause trouble here?

Secondly, if Zhao Yuxuan could be here, it meant he had nothing to fear. If Meng Yu came, there’s a good chance he would get counter-killed, right?

Thirdly, Zhao Yuxuan was generous in his actions, and everyone had received many benefits from him; of course, they would speak up for him.

Fourthly, Thousand Cloud Mountain was filled with experts, all of whom were waiting for Meng Yu to come and seek an opportunity to earn merit.

Today was yet another peaceful day. A Golden Core Master from Thousand Cloud Mountain’s management, along with others including Zhao Yuxuan, were inspecting the area, leaving everyone feeling satisfied. Then, the Flying Boat landed on top of one of the peaks.

It was at this moment that the Mountain Lord of Thousand Cloud Mountain, Golden Elixir Feiyun, suddenly turned pale. Simultaneously, a seemingly ordinary Patrol Officer following Zhao Yuxuan also changed color abruptly, exuding an aura that revealed his Golden Core Cultivation.

But why did they look so upset?

As a sacred place for cultivation, many mountains on Thousand Cloud Mountain were inhabited by cultivators. Today, at two in the afternoon, everyone felt a fear that stemmed from the very depths of their hearts.

From the summit of the sixteenth peak of Thousand Cloud Mountain came terrifying fluctuations of Spiritual Energy.

The first to explode were five Divine Thunders belonging to the Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth elements of the Five Elements. Kuishui Divine Thunder, Geng Metal Divine Thunder, Black Soil Annihilation Thunder, Green Wood Taiyi Divine Thunder, and Intense Fire Child-Mother Thunder.

The placement of the five Divine Thunders was ingeniously precise, arranged according to the Five Elements’ positions. Triggered by Bai Qianqian’s Spiritual Energy, the Five Elements Divine Thunder instantly interacted, enhancing one another to produce an effect greater than the sum of their parts.

Yet, the explosions were not over. The second series of explosions happened at the same time. This time, it was seven Divine Thunders of different characteristics exploding, including the exceedingly rare Green Blood Filth Thunder. Then, these seven Divine Thunders were arranged in the pattern of the Big Dipper by someone skilled in Formations, setting off a combined explosion.

With the Five Elements inside and the Big Dipper outside, twelve Divine Thunders unleashed unprecedented power in an instant.

The laws of the Immortal Sect were interesting restrictive measures. Meng Yu, in a First Grade Minor World, was not afraid of the Immortal Sect’s large-scale lethal weapons, nor of Zhao Yuxuan and others suddenly producing Golden Core Stage talismans and treasures, and so on, because as long as a certain limit was exceeded, the laws would directly prohibit entry or annihilate them.

For example, these twelve Divine Thunders, although each resembled a full-strength strike from an Early Golden Elixir Stage, were arranged by Bai Qianqian in a way that created a Five Elements and Big Dipper chain explosion tactic. The power was comparable to a full-strength strike from a Nascent Soul, and it was the kind of attack that aimed to kill, lasting over five minutes.

If used in Yanyang Star or Thousand Sun Small World, it would be annihilated before its most brilliant moment. Yet, on Supreme Star, it could be fully unleashed.

Everyone thought Meng Yu’s target would be the small worlds of the Zhao Family or Ouyang Family, or their clan members venturing outside or Golden Core cultivators leaving for daily activities. The most absurd targets were some of the councillors who supported Hall Master Zhao, but everyone had mentally prepared themselves and were waiting for Meng Yu’s ruthless move.

However, no one could have imagined that Meng Yu’s first strike would come directly to the Supreme Star, giving Zhao Yuxuan a brutal hit.

On March 2nd of the Immortal Sect Year 10012, a resolution was reached by the higher echelons of the Immortal Sect to eliminate Meng Yu. However, they also quietly instructed their subordinates that if Meng Yu had any desire or thoughts of surrender, then there was no need to wipe him out completely. This was three days after the announcement.

Then on March 5th, Meng Yu directly fled to the Supreme Star, detonated twelve Annihilation Divine Thunders, killing Zhao Yuxuan along with the Mountain Lord who sheltered him, Feiyun, as well as a Golden Core Master who had been hiding by Zhao Yuxuan’s side, preparing to ambush Meng Yu, and 238 employees from the Thousand Cloud Mountain management center.

"Boom!"
