NOVEL WEB Chapter 269: Daily Life and Counterkill
Outside the marketplace.
Meng Yu did not know that there were so many people astonished behind him, but today, he truly experienced the power of Mirror Twelve.
The Golden Core expert, and moreover the most troublesome expert from the Blood Demon Sect, was crushed to death by Mirror Twelve, just like an ant.
"Do you want to learn this technique?"
Mirror Twelve asked.
"I want to learn, but I probably can't."
Meng Yu answered sincerely.
Mirror Twelve's infant name was the Fiery Divine Mirror, specializing in Sun Strike, and having cultivated for six thousand years, he experienced various hardships and efforts. From the Fiery Divine Mirror, transformed into the Great Sun Divine Mirror, and then from the Great Sun Divine Mirror to the Sun Mirror. Going forward, he became a madman (due to killing a certain being), and finally returned to simplicity, becoming Mirror Twelve.
It is said that within the Immortal Sect, no one can match his mastery in the Great Solar True Fire.
His cultivation technique also had other manifestations within the Immortal Sect, like the Pure Yang Technique.
However, Mirror Twelve had no ties with the Zhao Family and even looked down on the Zhao Family, having ceased dealing with them two thousand years ago.
Meng Yu estimated that no matter how he studied, he could not match the skills of Mirror Twelve, so he could only use them as a reference.
His current enhancement often strengthened one aspect, but the subsequent ones could not be enhanced. For example, after he cultivated the Sword Intent of the Wind, he later cultivated another Wind Sword Technique even better than the White Crane Swordsmanship, but he could not enhance it. Therefore, it was best for him to follow a kaleidoscopic pairing path.
"Hmm, actually, the path you're on is even better than the one I took. The Four Great Sword Intents, Earth, Fire, Water, Wind, you have a very solid foundation, and your future will be stronger than mine."
"Hmm, I will definitely contribute my strength to the Immortal Sect."
"Don't, don't, don't, the one who will disrupt our Immortal Sect in the future is definitely you."
Mirror Twelve laughed.
"Senior, I'm upset by what you're saying. I'm also the successor of the Immortal Sect, and besides, if you don't approve of me, why would you stay with me?"
"Hehe, if I had met a successor like you two thousand years ago, I would have strangled you on the spot! If it were a thousand years ago, and I encountered such a unique figure of the Immortal Sect, I would have definitely let you in..."
"What are you pretending for, old man? Even two thousand years ago, if you had seen me, you would have been as timid as a quail."
"What did you say?"
"Nothing, nothing, just a joke, don't get angry!"
The two teased each other, seeming to joke, but in fact, they spoke the truth.
"The little girl is still nice."
Mirror Twelve sighed. During his time with Meng Yu, he realized that this fellow was truly an eccentric. Not to mention anything else, just the recognition of equality among people deep in his bones amazed him.
Why couldn't he meet someone who would wholeheartedly inherit his beliefs?
"Thank you, Grandpa Mirror."
Hua Miaochai quickly bowed to Mirror Twelve and then vigorously pulled Meng Yu, signaling for him to show a bit more courtesy to the Divinity Transformation Grandfather.
Meng Yu couldn't be bothered with Mirror Twelve. After all, it was just banter, and he certainly wasn't going to pamper Mirror Twelve. The more respectful you are to such people, the stricter they might be with you, or the more they might expect you to contribute more to the Immortal Sect, or just take advantage of you generously.
In history, how many were manipulated by such highly respected elders into death and destruction or became stepping stones for others. Meng Yu had already made clear arrangements with him, and now their interaction wasn't too bad, slightly irritating each other but understanding each other's boundaries, not holding too many expectations, which was rather better.
Anyway, Meng Yu had never enjoyed the benefits of the Immortal Sect.
Two days later, they arrived in front of a small sect's gate.
This was an inconspicuous small sect, but in fact, it was the very famous base of the Wild Wind Thief within a thousand miles.
A large sect inevitably harbors filth, like the small sect in front, which looked unassuming but was actually a black glove of the Eternal Night Palace, the Wild Wind Thief.
Many large sects are always surrounded by various chaotic forces, including robbers who kill people. These people are ruthless and sometimes even infiltrate large sects to kill and rob, leaving no survivors.
In a non-magical world, this situation is very common, but in such a high-magic world, the only explanation is that these dark forces are merely black gloves raised by the Eternal Night Palace.
Many inconvenient things are done by these people.
Meng Yu accidentally came across this information, so he came to check it out.
Since the Eternal Night Palace made a move on the Moon-Watching Sect, since they disrespected Meng Yu in Sleepless City, since True Sage Guo wanted to intimidate Meng Yu, then Meng Yu naturally wanted to return the favor.
But how to return the favor requires strategic considerations.
"Senior Mirror, you just need to scout the surroundings, alert me to the situation on the ground, and protect me and Huahua when I'm in danger. You don't need to physically attack anyone. Huahua, you too; you're responsible for rescuing. Oh, and first, divide up Sun Bodang's Storage Bag."
Sun Bodang had given Meng Yu six Storage Bags that day. Upon opening them, there were quite a few good items inside: a Third-Grade Dragon Head Green Wood Staff, a Fiery Rock-solid Sword, several Array Plates, and numerous Spirit Stones, among various other items.
The Dragon Head Staff was likely Sun Bodang's regular weapon, but unfortunately, Meng Yu was not accustomed to it. However, he really liked the Fiery Rock-solid Sword. This sword, four feet long, with 'Fiery' indicating it belonged to the Fire Element and 'Rock-solid' referring to the indomitable nature of the blade.
With a flick of the sword, a golden Three-legged Golden Crow flew out from the blade.
This was bestowed by Mirror Twelve.
He told Meng Yu, "I can give you lots of guidance on martial skills, but then again, others can also guide you, and you will have many people to teach you in the future. So, let me give you some basic techniques."
For instance, the Great Solar True Fire within the Fire Crow Sword Technique.
A long time ago, within Meng Yu's Fire Crow Sword Technique, a Fire Crow evolved into the Lord of the Fire Crows and underwent significant changes in size, vaguely resembling a Three-legged Golden Crow. Mirror Twelve said, "You're on the right path with this Fire Crow, and I will help you refine it."
The Fire Crow Sword Technique involved cultivating resonance with the fire of the environment and using special talismans to project and animate the Fire Crows. With Mirror Twelve's help, Meng Yu's Fire Crow Sword Technique underwent earth-shattering changes.
The leading Lord of the Fire Crows turned into a pale golden, clear, and pure flame that covered its entire body, clearly not of ordinary kind.
This wasn't the most powerful enhancement, but it was the most suitable one. Meng Yu possessed the Void Shifting technique, so his combat style was different from others. He only needed to enhance it enough to withstand a Late Golden Core stage attack without dying.
As for the other Fire Crows, Mirror Twelve said if he were a True God Transforming Master, he could grant them each unique characteristics or enhance them further, but unfortunately, the Fourth Grade realm was still inadequate.
It seemed he suspected Meng Yu had some other techniques he wanted to unearth, but unfortunately, Meng Yu was unyielding as steel.
In response, Meng Yu said, "Thank you, I really appreciate it. As long as I have enough Spirit Stones, that's all that matters." Find adventures at My Virtual Library Empire
As for anything else, having it would be a blessing, and not having it didn't matter.
His gaze fell upon the villa, and a chill ran through Meng Yu's brow.
It was time to get to work.
...
In Water West Villa.
Qian Zhenrong sat smiling on a grand master chair, looking at several shy, humiliated beauties in front of him, awaiting the pleasure of the evening.
As a False Core, his future in the Eternal Night Palace was doomed, but becoming the Wild Wind Thief, he had enjoyed many benefits.
As the one in the Eternal Night Palace who did the dirty work, he had enjoyed much as well.
In the cellar beneath the villa, there were various stunning and enchanting women, mounds of Spirit Stones, and treasures. Moreover, by just working for ten years, he could change his identity and fake his death to escape.
This year was the tenth year, and actually, he was somewhat reluctant to leave. For instance, just half a month ago, he eradicated a small sect merely because their young disciples, who acted as chivalrous heroes, had killed his men, and then, he captured all the men and women from there.
That naive chivalrous hero was in the dungeon, and the women in front of him—his juniors, elder sisters-in-law, and other female relatives—were about to succumb.
Such was the power of the strong, the cruelty of the world. If you were powerful, you could control everything.
He had just told the women, "As long as you serve me well, I will spare your fathers, husbands, disciples, children, and so on. Otherwise, I will kill them, and you wouldn't want to die, right?"
The women were panic-stricken and tearful, but they would inevitably succumb eventually, just like the women in the basement.
It was going to be a joyous night, but unfortunately, he would soon have to abandon his identity.
He had just received instructions that he needed to lie low for a while and couldn't commit crimes during this period, as the Wild Wind Thief organization also had to be dealt with, because Meng Yu had arrived.
Meng Yu's arrival had turned things from a travelogue to a thriller for the Eternal Night Palace!
Originally thought to be an ignorant youngster, the fact that Meng Yu turned the Blood Demon from the Blood Demon Sect into a mere wick had shocked everyone in the northwest region.
That was the Blood Demon, simply subdued by Meng Yu—how could a Golden Core not resist a mere Foundation Establishment?
Many people came up with countless reasons, such as Meng Yu having an elder by his side, Meng Yu possessing a Divine Artifact, Meng Yu's Cultivation Technique directly countering the Blood Demon, or the Blood Demon being careless, etc. But when everyone witnessed the Blood Demon's mad howls, they were somewhat horrified.
Especially Meng Yu's attitude. He stayed in the marketplace for a full four hours, just waiting for the Nascent Soul from the Eternal Night Palace!
Such spirit, such a state of mind!
Or perhaps he was really a Golden Core or even a Nascent Soul, just playing everyone?
...
"Meng Yu, are you sure you don't want me to make a move?"
"No need, I'll do it myself."
"But then, you won't enjoy the sweeping victories and the admiring and flattering glances from everyone. For instance, the surprise when they mistake you for a Golden Core, or even a Nascent Soul. Isn't that unfortunate?"
"What's the use of that?"
This was the conversation outside the villa; it was Mirror Twelve's suggestion, originally proposing he take action.
Then Meng Yu stormed into the villa, unleashing unparalleled power, much like in the Qingfeng Small World from before. The familiar sensation returned—the Treasure Armor and the sharp sword mowed down all the foes he encountered.
As for Mirror Twelve's jokes or temptations, Meng Yu made it very clear.
What's the use of that?
What is yours is yours, what is not, what's the use of pretending?
The battle continued; Meng Yu was never afraid of being underestimated or even despised.
Thank you, I really appreciate your contempt.
