Chapter 253 Time Flies, Moving to a New Home
The so-called feasibility is not about how Fairy Taohua should treat Meng Yu, but rather everyone hopes to establish a closer relationship. They wish for Fairy Taohua to open this channel so she can speak to Meng Yu, but what can she do?
Sometimes, even Fairy Taohua would say, "If you think you can, then you go ahead."
Unfortunately, Meng Yu didn't give everyone that chance.
In the fourth month, Meng Yu returned to the Immortal Sect once more.
Like the last time, he covertly stayed hidden for a month, then again without any interaction, he simply collected a Storage Bag left behind by Zhuge Caihua at a certain location and then returned to the Western Wastes.
Of course, the news about his stories flooded the media—any mainstream media outlet that didn't report on him would be ridiculed.
Although some in the Immortal Sect wanted to keep things secret, how could such matters be kept secret?
Each time Meng Yu brought back hundreds of Memory Stones, inside of which recorded countless observations and information, then distributed to various people. The Golden Core Masters shared these events, portraying the Old Immortal Sect as a place where the grass is lush and the waters rich, absolutely wonderful.
Countless media personnel wanted to interview Meng Yu but didn't have any opportunity to do so.
Meng Yu didn't post on forums, didn't join chat groups, came quietly and left quietly; after leaving behind the Storage Bag, he no longer made any contact. Such indifferent attitude left many people disappointed.
At this time, many suddenly realized that the Meng Yu who liked to show off and boast was better because at least he responded; but now... sorry, it seemed like he didn't need you anymore.
After returning, Meng Yu continued his cultivation and handled public affairs, yet the attack on the Sky-splitting Sword Sect had not yet begun.
Meng Yu looked at the letter of apology sent by Master Lihua and let out a slight sigh.
The Golden Core Master who delivered the message looked quite embarrassed, as if there were spikes under her buttocks making her very uncomfortable.
"It's fine. When one is abroad, of course they have the authority to act on their own. I can understand the actions of Master Lihua," Meng Yu said with a slight smile, as if nothing had happened; of course, he was very calm.
This was all prearranged.
Some things, even Master Taohua didn't know, such as, during this visit, Master Lihua had expressed her loyalty to Meng Yu.
She was Meng Yu's elder, whom Meng Yu should respect... But Master Lihua also understood Meng Yu's character very well.
Many people prefer to use outsiders rather than relatives because relatives often can't see the bigger picture, and before her was someone who had outright killed his entire family!
The closer the relationship, the more cautious one must be!
She very courteously expressed to Meng Yu that the matter between him and Ge Caihua was their own, and her relationship with him was that of a superior and a subordinate. If she made any mistakes, she wanted him to point them out, and she would certainly correct them.@@novelbin@@
She carefully asked Meng Yu how to deal with the Sky-splitting Sword Sect—whether to breach them immediately or to besiege without attacking?
The decision to besiege without attacking was Meng Yu's, as it was the most cost-effective action. Once the Golden Cores laid siege without attacking, there would surely be traitors among the enemy.
Meng Yu told her to give it five months of besieging without attacking. After hearing this, Master Lihua gratefully expressed her thanks for giving her this opportunity and assured that she would use these five months to make the Golden Cores feel his kindness.
Thus, began the war of meditation.
In the process, everyone ended up owing Meng Yu favors.
"Tell Master Lihua to get ready to make her move."
Meng Yu issued the order, and the messenger Golden Core quickly nodded.
"Moon-Watching Sect is preparing to move to the location of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect. Have her make this one count," was Meng Yu's second order.
The mountain gate of Moon-Watching Sect sat above a third-grade Spirit Vein. After repeated sieges, it had suffered heavy losses, and with numerous casualties within a thousand miles, it was difficult to recover its vital energy, especially since it was located in a region of frequent conflict.
But the Sky-splitting Sword Sect was different; situated at the southern edge of the Western Wastes, it controlled countless Qi Refinement Practitioners. Beneath the mountain gate of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, beyond the five or six third-grade Spirit Veins, there was also a highly coveted fourth-grade Spirit Vein at its foundation.
If the old house was in ruins, then forget about repairing it; it's time to move to a new home.
In the fifth month, Meng Yu led fifty Golden Cores to the front lines. Master Lihua greeted him respectfully, handed over command, and then Meng Yu ordered the general assault to begin.
This was merely a show, the glory belonged to Meng Yu.
The attack went very smoothly. With two hundred and fifty-three Golden Cores plus allied forces, they easily broke through the mountain gate of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, and the losses were astonishingly low.
Five months of silent siege, with the constant threat of impending doom, persuaded three of the five Golden Cores left behind to turn traitor. At the beginning of the operation, they opened up the Great Formation, then, with hundreds of Golden Cores storming in, they easily took control of the mountain gate of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect. Any remaining resistance was quickly snuffed out.
Meng Yu cleared the siege without any loss.
Meng Yu fulfilled his promises and spared those three Golden Cores, rewarding them as well.
That day, Meng Yu was in an exceptionally good mood.
The five-month silent war now seemed entirely worthwhile. Whether it was the Spirit Vein, the Pill Furnace, or the spirit field, all remained intact, and the three traitor Golden Cores did their utmost to complete their work.
Afterwards, the grand shifting army of the Moonwatching Sect arrived at the Sky-splitting Sword Sect to take over this sect, which was dozens of times larger than the Moonwatching Sect.
It was a busy month, as well as a month of bountiful harvest.
Meng Yu, a mere Foundation Establishment practitioner, had taken down one of the Four Major Sects in the Western Wastes, controlled tens of thousands of miles of land, and achieved an unprecedented feat.
Although he was still 99 percent away from the power of the Hundredfold Strength Lord of the World, Meng Yu hadn't even thought about completing that task.
...
In the sixth month, Meng Yu returned to the Immortal Sect once again.
With the same twenty million Spirit Stones, along with vast amounts of precious resources, Meng Yu then suggested to the Immortal Sect that they were in the midst of grand construction projects and could they stay a few more months.
Meng Yu spoke tactfully, but it was an announcement rather than a request, and at the same time, the items needed for procurement changed, as the next time Meng Yu would need a large number of Array Plates and Magic Artifacts.
The Immortal Sect very sincerely offered to send a new construction team to help with the work and even provide Third Grade Formation Diagrams, but Meng Yu declined.
Taking Third Grade Formation Diagrams would require leaving Qingfeng Star, something Meng Yu did not want to risk, nor was there a need, considering the Long River Nine Bends Array was a Third Grade Formation Diagram itself.
Ever since starting to work across two realms, Meng Yu had been keeping the contact between them severed. The Immortal Sect could learn of the Golden Cores' situation but couldn't reach them, so Meng Yu didn't need the construction team. Among the three hundred Golden Cores, at least forty were Formation experts, with most well-versed in various Spells, more than enough for the work required.
As usual, Meng Yu sent the list to Bai Qianqian and Zhuge Caihua, then returned with the items they had prepared, still not making contact with the Immortal Sect.
Although his messaging app was flooded with numerous private messages, he merely read and categorized them without responding.
In many cases, you only can get along well with others once they realize how uncomfortable they are.
...
July, August, September, the following three months saw the bustling transformation of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect completed and the members of the Moonwatching Sect finally had a secure home. The Long River Nine Bends Array replaced the old Seven Stars White Tiger Formation and connected twenty-four various Great Formations.
In the tenth month, Meng Yu held a celebration for the completion of the newly established Moonwatching Sect and sent out invitations beforehand. Countless envoys and experts from other sects in the Western Wastes came to offer their congratulations.
When Meng Yu sent out the invitations, he reiterated the episode between him and the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, as well as why the subsequent killings were so ruthlessly executed.
"If no one offends me, I will not offend anyone. But should someone provoke me, it's a matter of life and death."
Those willing to coexist peacefully with the Moonwatching Sect were invited to the celebration. Those who didn't attend would be considered dissenters.
This statement was full of threat, yet every power, big or small, that received the invitation in the Western Wastes came to the new Moonwatching Sect.
In this world, there are countless fools and ignorants, and those ignorant as frogs in a well are even more numerous. Some things, they need to see with their own eyes to be impressed.
For instance, up until now, many still couldn't believe that Meng Yu could muster three hundred Golden Cores.
But all doubts vanished when those skeptical ones arrived at the Moonwatching Sect.
Three hundred Golden Cores, soaring daily in the sky, their formidable presence deterred the entire crowd, and they faced Meng Yu with utmost respect, silencing everyone with their solemn demeanor.
The celebration lasted three days, during which all sects, big and small in the Western Wastes, offered gifts, and naturally lowered their heads in recognition of the Moonwatching Sect's place as one of the new Four Major Sects, replacing the Sky-splitting Sword Sect.
Although in the sect, there were only five true Golden Cores – Bai Qianqian (absent), Hua Miaochai, Bu Shixian, Yu Paopao, and Hu Qingquan.
Some even proposed Meng Yu as the Alliance Leader of the Immortal Path in the Western Wastes. However, Meng Yu told everyone that he was a reasonable person, that he was already content, and that going forward, the Moonwatching Sect would replace the Sky-splitting Sword Sect in the southern part of the Western Wastes and live peacefully with everyone. The three hundred Golden Cores would not stay in the Western Wastes for long and would soon depart.
He hoped that no one would think Moonwatching Sect was weak again, coming up with ill-advised ideas, making the same mistakes as the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, or overestimating the Sect's power and making wrong decisions. The Moonwatching Sect was a peaceful sect, willing to coexist peacefully with everyone. Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire
Meng Yu's words made many heave a sigh of relief as the three hundred Golden Cores had been weighing on them like Mount Tai for the past seven months.
Everyone was trying hard to compliment Meng Yu's honesty and integrity, stating that from now on, matters concerning the Moonwatching Sect were their own, that anyone who targeted the Moonwatching Sect was targeting them. They requested that any issues should be communicated to them in advance as they would definitely take care of it and not to act rashly.
Afterwards, most of the fifty thousand people on the mountain descended.
This time, the disciples of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect were thoroughly purged, leaving countless vacated territories perfect for natural expansion. As they left the mountain, many were teary-eyed, the Qi Refinement Practitioners and Foundation Establishment cultivators feeling as if they had been reborn, yet exceedingly joyful.
As long as Moonwatching Sect stood, they were safe.
The following month, Meng Yu took half of the Golden Cores back to the Immortal Sect.
