Chapter 247: A Complete Victory, Returning Fully Loaded
"Why do we have to run?"
The young man by his side kept muttering in displeasure, but even after escaping four hundred li, the chairman of the Western Wastes branch of Myriad Gold Pavilion, Master Lang Zhenren, was still trembling all over.
As a Golden Core Master, he shouldn't have lost his composure like this, but today, after seeing all that had happened, his only thought was that it was all over!
Myriad Gold Pavilion, a power with footprints across the entire continent, had vast influence, and he, as the chairman of the Western Wastes' Myriad Gold Pavilion, had considerable clout. Even the leaders of the top four forces in the Western Wastes would have to be exceedingly polite upon meeting him.
But, when the Golden Cores swarmed out, he felt a bone-chilling cold.
"Don't talk, change clothes, let's hide first!"
Chairman Lang wished he could slap the idiot beside him to death, the grandson of a Nascent Soul from Myriad Gold Pavilion. This fool thought there was nothing to worry about, believing his grandfather's Nascent Soul status could ensure his safety, even if three hundred Golden Cores appeared.
The moment Meng Yu beheaded Nan Gongkun, Master Lang Zhenren knew that Meng Yu was furious.
Many good people, many honest folks, had always been reasonable; you might even take advantage of them, but if they truly got mad, sorry, they were the fiercest!
And when Meng Yu could bring out three hundred Golden Cores, Master Lang Zhenren was so frightened he nearly wet his pants, wondering if, should Meng Yu kill him, would Myriad Gold Pavilion avenge him, or would they deliver his family to Meng Yu to handle?
He was sent here to do business, not to make enemies with a Divinity Transformation, and this time Meng Yu had directly proven his identity as the son of a Divinity Transformation!

"I think..."
The young man began to say something, but in the next moment, his body exploded without warning, while Master Lang Zhenren's body plummeted swiftly toward the ground.
He had a revelation—the burden beside him would prevent him from escaping. If he ran alone, below was a subterranean river, the terrain was complex, full of pits and holes. He had an Earth Jutsu Talisman; he could dive into it and then hide far below the surface. As long as he escaped this time, he swore he would absolutely live incognito to leave the Western Wastes and find a quiet place to settle down. He had messed up really badly this time, and not even Myriad Gold Pavilion could protect him.
But then, ten strands of Divine Sense swooped in.
That was two Golden Core squads catching up.
Ten against one, those people had no sense of fair play!
...
As a mid-stage Golden Core of Immortal Sect, Zhu Mantui found that arriving at Old Immortal Gate was exhilarating!
The strict hierarchy of Immortal Sect ensured that no one could be reckless and everyone had to follow the rules. As for sword training for a hundred years and wanting to kill someone?
Fatal duels were strictly forbidden!
Then, just moments ago, she killed a genuine Golden Core Master!
This feat made her tremble with excitement, and on top of that, she casually took his Storage Bag, which was filled with a staggering amount of Spirit Stones and resources that nearly blinded her!
So much, so much, so much!!
In just a few minutes of fighting, without any risk to her life, she earned more Spirit Stones than she could in decades.
She couldn't laugh, she couldn't laugh, she had to share with Meng Yu, she had to share with the group, and there were taxes, but still, she couldn't help but laugh until her mouth cracked!
Although everything had to be surrendered and registered to be taken back by Meng Yu, in the two years she had been down here, she could endlessly cultivate with Spirit Stones. With so many Spirit Stones in the Storage Bag, she felt like a cat that had just walked into a fish market!
She had never imagined she could cultivate non-stop with Spirit Stones after descending!
The Golden Cores that fled just now had no chance, being already marked beforehand.
"Fellows, a little convenience, please."
The Golden Core who had just landed turned around with a wry smile and threw his Storage Bag far away while bravely rushing to the side; his Vital Energy trembled, as if he could self-destruct at any moment.
"I'm giving you all the treasures here, just let me go. I'll give you more; whoever blocks me will perish with me."
"Self-destruct?"
If it were a different Golden Core, they'd worry for their life, but the Golden Cores from Immortal Sect charged without hesitation.
Spirit Stones are good, but everyone also remembered one thing, to follow the rules.
By following the rules, everyone wins, including when facing danger, as long as it's fair!
Three minutes later, Master Lang Zhenren was captured, his Storage Bag causing everyone to gasp in awe at the amount.
Suffice to say, if it were in Immortal Sect, it would be enough for ten Golden Cores to abscond with the stash.
There really were too many good people at Old Immortal Gate!
...
In the first half of the year, Sky-splitting Sword Sect, under the banner of suppressing demons and upholding the way, led a large army to assault Moon-Watching Sect, crushing all opposition.
However, the turning point occurred on August 12th. Meng Yu from Moon-Watching Sect requested three hundred Golden Cores from his clan, and like the Tathagata Palm, pressed down overwhelmingly.
Swift and decisive, exterminating thoroughly.
In the first ten minutes, along with mopping up, Moon-Watching Sect eliminated forty-nine Golden Cores, and then three hundred Golden Cores emerged, encircling the enemy forces of over a hundred thousand within three hundred li!
Three hundred against a hundred thousand was like a boulder smashing eggs!
In groups of five, they swept through the surroundings. The previously arrogant Sky-splitting Sword Sect was now piteously ravaged; the frighteningly efficient killing power of the organized Golden Cores completely terrified enemies within a thousand li.
No matter how tight the defenses, the formations, they were all useless; they never faced an assault alone, five Golden Cores were enough to break through anything!
That day, countless people lay dead, their bodies strewn across the fields, talents, elites, and strategists trembling on the ground like dogs!
From the moment the Sky-splitting Sword Sect began their attack, only two hours had passed!
In the third hour, two hundred out of the three hundred Golden Cores took the lead, with the rest forming a Battle Array like a flock of wild geese, swords in hand, they headed west, directly toward the Sky-splitting Sword Sect twenty thousand li away.
It is better to chase the remaining bravery of a desperate enemy than to seek fame and learn from the overlord!
That place was truly fatty meat, holding nearly ten thousand years of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect's accumulation.
Meanwhile, the remaining one hundred Golden Core Masters began to sweep the surroundings, intimidating other sects.
As for Meng Yu, he sat stably on the fishing platform.
...
Days passed by one after another, and before we knew it, nearly a month had gone by.
Master Taohua, feeling helpless and bored, sat on a pile of Spirit Stones, watching others take group photos and show off.
There was no internet, but everyone was enthusiastic.
When the Immortal Sect's expeditionary force arrived, no one brought any personal devices or high-tech products.
The fight against the side of technology made everyone worry about attracting unnecessary trouble, so everyone brought only pure Path of Immortality equipment.
Meng Yu said he planned to take some of the spoils back with him. If anyone had letters or video material, he offered to bring them back and let everyone know that all was well.
This news made everyone very happy, and so they all began to take photos eagerly, not just to miss their families and friends, but also
to show off. When they came here, many people had spoken sourly about them.
"Humph, Meng Yu might have prepared the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls over there. Those who go there will become Flying Yakshas or Golden Armored Zombies."
"What's there to be proud of? I wouldn't risk that danger. Only fools would go."
"Humph, Meng Yu is sharing fifty percent, and you guys have to share fifty percent among so many people. The Immortal Sect will also tax it, and with three hundred people sharing, how much can you get? Is it worth it for a Golden Core like you? Don't go. It would be so much better for us sisters to play together."
Many people felt uneasy when they came here. If it hadn't been for the fierce competition, Bai Qianqian's credibility guarantee, and the stimulus from the Fairy Pear Blossom and Tao Hua, they really wouldn't have come. But who could have imagined such wealth here!
Just one trip made everyone rich, and moreover, from then on, they could even cultivate using Spirit Stones directly!
"I wish I could stay here forever…"
Not far away, another Golden Core made a "V" sign with her fingers, looking like an overjoyed young woman.
Recently, it has been incredibly peaceful.
Two hundred went to the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, surrounding their mountain gate, while the remaining hundred stayed here not only to loot the surroundings but also for a very important reason—to protect Meng Yu.
Bandits, in order to escape, would definitely be willing to pay a hefty sum for a driver; and now that everyone had struck it rich, Meng Yu's safety was of course of even greater concern.
However, in reality, Meng Yu did not need so much protection. The news of the three hundred Golden Cores' appearance spread, and the entire Western Wastes instantly turned chaotic like boiling water poured into an ant hill.
To assassinate Meng Yu?
There were people everywhere who wanted to ingratiate themselves with Meng Yu. Today they might take on a commission, but tomorrow... how dare you accept such a commission?
As for the major sects uniting to assassinate Meng Yu?
Those people probably don't realize what a good superior Meng Yu is, huh?
Other than displaying his might the day he executed Nan Gongkun, Meng Yu had remained stable within the mountain gate of the Moon-Watching Sect, in his dwelling.
Those responsible for his safety were the Moon-Watching Sect's demons and Master Taohua. Even the elder sisters of the Immortal Sect with ulterior motives couldn't find an opportunity to seduce Meng Yu, let alone outside assassins.
In such a scenario, even if a group of Nascent Soul experts came, no one would be afraid.
And so, everyone lived very leisurely and comfortably.
"I brought you here to ensure your safe return. Whether it's strategic planning or fighting on the battlefield, let it be your undertaking."
For many, it was their first encounter with Meng Yu, but everyone absolutely loved this kind of leader.
People aren't afraid of strong enemies; what they fear the most is a superior messing things up. And now, what else do they have to worry about?
Golden Core Masters have taken numerous courses since childhood, including theories on native governance, accounting, kingship, and the like, many of whom are outright Planet Masters. With Meng Yu letting everyone go to work, they could certainly do an excellent job.
Especially after obtaining overwhelming violence.
"By the way, Sister Taohua, when is Meng Yu going back? Can I apply to go back with him?"
Someone asked in a very sweet voice.
Many hoped for a chance to be alone with Meng Yu.
"I don't know."
Fairy Taohua said with a smile, her eyes flickering with a glint.
Some decisions needed to be made.
