Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 273 The Persuader, the Heavenly God President's Courage
Before the Daoist Ceremony even arrived, a week later, Su Yu received an invitation from Wan Yu and Cui Qianqing, the two true disciples of his sect. The two disciples, acting as intermediaries, invited him to sit down with Tang Xingye, the president of the Heavenly God Society, to discuss the grievances between the two societies.

Su Yu thought about it and agreed.

There was definitely no room for negotiation; he was determined to destroy the Heavenly God Society. However, since the two true disciples had personally invited him, he had to give them face and go.

The meeting was to be held in Xuanzhen Immortal City outside the sect. Su Yu had just left Xuankong Mountain when he encountered Wan Yu, who seemed to be waiting for him.

Upon meeting, Wan Yu bowed to him with the courtesy due to a senior brother:
"Wan Yu greets the Chief Senior Brother!"

Su Yu returned the greeting with clasped hands and laughed heartily:

"The ceremony hasn't even started yet, so I'm not qualified to be your senior brother."

Wan Yu laughed:

"It's bound to happen sooner or later, let's practice now."

The two already knew each other, and their relationship grew even closer after a few words. Wan Yu gestured for them to start their journey together.

Halfway through, Wan Yu asked:
"Senior Brother, is there any room for reconciliation between you and the Heavenly God Society?"

Su Yu shook his head and said:
“If it were a month ago, I could have given face to Senior Brother Wan if he had stepped forward, but now that I have decided to hold the Dao Child Ceremony and step forward, I cannot back down at this time.”

"Um"

Wan Yu nodded:

"I understand. I'm only responsible for hosting and organizing the event. You can discuss the details yourselves. Also, Tang Xingye invited me to help him out, but I will decline."

"Thank you for your understanding, Senior Brother."

"By the way, how confident are you in this battle? Although I don't know how strong Senior Brother is, I know Tang Xingye quite well. Although he has returned the sect's treasure after he was no longer a true disciple, he still has two tenth-tier magic treasures. Even an Earth Immortal can't do anything to him."

"In addition, he has cultivated for a hundred years and has extensive connections. He can invite at least three true disciples and three to five hundred loose immortal masters from his sect. Among them are top loose immortals with levels as high as 170 or 180. The power he can mobilize is extremely strong. Even if you have the help of a terrestrial immortal, you may not be able to win."

"Ok?"

Su Yu raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised, and said:
"Knowing my identity, how could they still mobilize three true disciples and three to five hundred rogue immortals from our sect? Don't they know how much power the Daoist Master wields?"

"It shouldn't be!"

It's not that becoming a Daoist disciple means he can do whatever he wants. Even dealing with core disciples and above requires solid evidence, and dealing with true disciples is even more difficult.

However, the difficulty for Daozi in dealing with core disciples does not mean that dealing with ordinary disciples is difficult.

The outer disciples can make a decision with a single word, without informing the sect, and their cultivation can be directly abolished and they can be expelled from the sect.

An inner disciple can be expelled from the sect with just a suitable reason, which will certainly offend the expelled disciple's master and fellow disciples.

Furthermore, frequent use of privileges can provoke a backlash from other disciples within the sect.

But no matter what, power is power. If he wants to, he can bring anyone down regardless of the consequences.

If you can't handle the higher-ups, can't you handle the lower-ups?

Which core disciple in the sect doesn't have a powerful force behind them? Offending this Daoist disciple would have serious consequences.

After a moment's consideration, Wan Yu explained:
"After all, these are centuries-old relationships, and many people owe huge favors that they cannot refuse."

Su Yu paused for a moment, then nodded and said:
"really."

"If they help out of personal favors, I will not blame them. But since they are on the battlefield, their lives are in their own hands, and I will not hold back. I hope they will take care of themselves."

Wan Yu smiled and raised his thumb, saying:

"As expected of the eldest brother, he has the demeanor of a Taoist master."

The two chatted casually and soon arrived at the top floor of a famous immortal pavilion in Xuanzhen Immortal City.

Upon entering, one finds more than a dozen people already there.

Upon seeing the two enter, someone immediately came forward, bowing and greeting them.

"Shi Tian, ​​a core disciple of the Tongming lineage, greets the chief senior brother. Please take a seat, senior brother!"

Su Yu glanced at him and asked:

"You're also from the Celestial Gods Society?"

"Yes."

Su Yu looked up at the others present, strode forward and sat down in a seat, smiling at everyone without saying a word.

"Damn, that's incredibly arrogant!"

In the private chat, Ishida was extremely annoyed by Su Yu's attitude and said.

"They don't seem too keen on talking."

"It seems so, but let's see how things go first."

At this moment, Tang Xingye, who was sitting at the head of the table, stood up and said in a deep voice:
"Actually, there is no irreconcilable conflict between our two guilds. Regarding the matter of offending Brother Shaozhen before, our guild is willing to compensate and apologize, issue a public apology, and compensate one million taels of gold. I wonder if Brother Shaozhen is willing to accept this."

Su Yu raised an eyebrow, surprised that he had slid to his knees so quickly, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

In any other setting or by any other power, he really wouldn't have felt comfortable pursuing the matter further.

They've already gone this far; pursuing the matter further would only make him seem too harsh and ruthless, which would be bad for his reputation.

However, Su Yu didn't really care about that. In fact, it was the attitude of the Heavenly God Society that made him determined to destroy it.

Putting aside all other reasons, the fight has already broken out, the tone has been raised so high, the feud has already been established, the morale of the subordinates has been raised, and all preparations have been made. To give up just because the other side admits defeat is simply idiotic. How can we then intimidate the disciples?
Countless examples from the past have taught Su Yu that to cut the weeds, you must nip them in the bud; once you start, there's no reason to give up halfway.

Moreover, as long as the Heavenly God Society is destroyed, we can plunder not just one million, but two or three million.

Su Yu's silence led Tang Xingye to believe that he thought the price was too low, so after a moment's thought, he raised the price again:
"150 gold!"

He did want to reconcile. After learning that Su Yu was a Dao Child, he knew he was doomed to suffer this loss. As a true disciple of the previous generation of the Immortal Sect, he knew very well how high the status of a Dao Child was in the sect. Once a fight broke out, regardless of the outcome of the guild, the Heavenly God Guild's hundreds of years of operation in the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect would be completely wiped out.

There would be no way to resist; the difference in status and position was too great, and the heads of the various branches and the sect leader within the sect would never side with him.

However, Su Yu remained silent. Tang Xingye's face visibly darkened, and the expressions of the others present also turned grim.

At this moment, Tang Xingye gave a look to one of the people present, and that person stood up, clasped his hands in greeting, and said:

"Cui Qianqing greets Senior Brother. If Senior Brother feels there is anything inappropriate, please point it out. As long as it is possible, I believe Senior Brother Tang will agree."

Wan Yu also spoke up:
"If it's not about money, we can talk about other things, as long as the eldest brother brings it up."

Everyone looked at Su Yu with anticipation; this feeling was pretty good.

Since the two disciples had already spoken, Su Yu didn't leave them hanging and said:
"Making peace with me is simple."

Tang Xingye immediately said:
"Please say!"

"Disband the Celestial Society!"

The whole place was silent.

Everyone was dumbfounded. Tang Xingye's face turned ashen, while the other disciples of the Heavenly God Society were practically bursting with rage.

"Su Yu!"

Tang Xingye gritted his teeth and said, word by word:
"You think you can take over the Heavenly God Society just because you've become a Dao Child?"

Su Yu chuckled softly, pointed at Tang Xingye, and said to Wan Yu and Cui Qianqing:

"Look, he's very angry?"

"Do you feel wronged? Do you feel like I'm bullying you?"

"boom!"

Su Yu suddenly slammed her hand on the table, the loud noise startling everyone. She shouted sharply:

"But have you ever thought about how wronged your fellow disciples were, who were bullied by you using your guild's power during the town's trials, who were subjected to malicious competition, direct attacks and threats against their families, and whose families were destroyed?"

"answer me?"

"Aren't they wronged?"

Su Yu suddenly turned around, pointed at Tang Xingye, and continued to question him:
"You should have heard of the Thousand Feathers Guild. It's the guild from which I, the Daoist, originated. However, one of our disciples competed with your Heavenly God Guild for the sect's core cultivation method, and you wiped it out. Not content with just wiping it out once, you still didn't let it go when it left the mainland and went overseas."

"Since your rise to power, Tang Xingye, the core disciple slots of our Tongming lineage have been monopolized by your Heavenly God Society. Not satisfied with that, you recently interfered in other branches as well."

"Is Ye Xiyi, a disciple of our sect's Old Ancestor Youlong, one of your people?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the pupils of a middle-aged man standing behind Tang Xingye shrank slightly, and he looked somewhat uneasy.

Su Yu, unaware of this scene, continued speaking:

"The lifespan of Patriarch Youlong is coming to an end, and he wishes to find a disciple to inherit his mantle. You have colluded with Patriarch's disciples to persuade other competitors to give up, intending to seize Patriarch's legacy."

"You bullshit!"

Tang Xingye interrupted him directly:

“I have never sent anyone to other branches.”

Su Yu sneered:

"Am I the one who was asked to leave, or do you think I'm making things up and wronging you?"

Tang Xingye abruptly turned to look at the high-ranking members of the guilds behind him, and immediately spotted the middle-aged man with shifty eyes. He shouted sharply:
"Ye Chen, are you aware of this matter?"

Su Yu's heart skipped a beat upon hearing the name, and she suddenly asked:

"Ye Chen, does he have a nephew named Ye Xiyi? Did he send a guild fleet to Yuanjiang a few years ago to wipe out a guild? When he went to Flying Star Islands to establish a branch, was the city he occupied the headquarters of a Thousand Feathers Guild?"

Ye Chen lowered his head, not daring to answer. Tang Xingye took a deep breath and said to Su Yu:

"The fault lies with our organization!"

He gritted his teeth, flipped his hand, took out something, and handed it over, saying:
"This treasure is offered to you as compensation. I hope you will be lenient, Daoist."

"hiss!"

"A tenth-tier magic weapon!"

Su Yu raised an eyebrow and her gaze fell on the treasure; she was equally surprised.

Myriad Stars Doumu Cauldron (Tenth Tier): A rare item that gathers myriad stars into a cauldron. It contains the Myriad Star Primordial Embryo and is surrounded by 10800 stars. It can transform into a galaxy and annihilate all things in the world.

Myriad Stars: Each star has a power of 10 + 50% spell damage, a casting range of 50 kilometers, and a mana cost of 300 points.

Formation: Activating at least 10800 stars can set up the Myriad Stars Doumu Primordial Embryo Grand Formation, with a cooldown time of 30 days.

Artifact Spirit: This treasure contains a newly formed artifact spirit. When the artifact spirit's strength is fully formed and manifests in the world, it can be upgraded to a celestial treasure.

"If you spare my life, Daoist, I will offer this precious cauldron with both hands!"

Su Yu gave Ye Chen a deep look, her wariness of him growing even stronger. She took a deep breath and refused again.

"I admire Chairman Tang's courage, but the Heavenly God Society has become a malignant tumor. As a disciple of the sect, I must do my best to eradicate it."

After saying that, he stopped arguing and turned to leave.

"boom!"

The faint sound of someone slamming their fist on the table and suppressed anger could be heard behind me.

Su Yu received a private message from Wan Yu:

"Be careful, they might resort to any means necessary."

"really!"
