Becoming evil makes you ten times stronger, but becoming a demon gives you hundredfold strength

Chapter 124 Mirror 12 Astonished and Puzzled, Mirror 12 Overjoyed to Madness

At the Supreme Star of Immortal Sect, within a certain secret realm.

The Spiritual Energy here was abundant and all kinds of facilities were complete. Mirror Twelve had transformed into an old man and was using a terminal to watch the news.

These days, it had been living quite comfortably. Although it felt that in a few years, or perhaps a few decades, it would die, no matter what, once a Fifth Order Divine Instrument lay flat, life was indeed good.

At least it didn't need to take out Spirit Stones to help those children who had dropped out of school or lacked resources anymore, right?

The Spirit Stones it owed to others didn't need to be repaid either; it would be killed soon anyway, wouldn't it?

It no longer had to worry about the major affairs of the Immortal Sect all day long, getting itself so worked up to the point of high blood pressure. Instead, now… Huh? Why had the opinions about it on the usual forums and message boards undergone an earth-shattering reversal today?

They used to scold it as a senile fool, a big idiot. Why had it changed today?

Everyone was praising it, and each one was fiercer than the last. Many people expressed that they had misunderstood Mirror Twelve, and that Mirror Twelve was truly the backbone of Immortal Sect!

This... This was so embarrassing. Could there be even more of such praise?

For the past few thousand years, Mirror Twelve had an excellent reputation within Immortal Sect, but after what it had done in the end, it had gambled away its good name. After the contest ended, about a dozen participants committed suicide for various reasons, and many children were mentally traumatized. Everyone scolded it as a lunatic, addled-brained, or insane, and even on the forums it frequented, the assessments were about how Mirror Twelve was truly so and so.

Thanks to the Moon God, it was ensured that it could browse the common folk's affairs without falling into an information prison. It hated those big groups that manipulated public opinion and smeared its name, but why had the opinions about it suddenly started to reverse?

Ah, it turned out that some damned bastard mentioned it, saying how they admired it the most and called it the last conscience of Immortal Sect?

Meng Yu, you bastard, do you know how many times they asked me to go down and kill you, and I did not agree, saying what's the big deal about a kid, why should I meddle. But, but, you have given me such a conclusive verdict!

"Meng Yu, damn you, Immortal!"

Mirror Twelve let out a loud wail and then began to beat the barrier of the secret realm violently.

Although it was laughing extremely, extremely happily, overjoyed!

"I've agreed. Didn't you all ask us to capture or kill Meng Yu? I accept the mission. I am going to kill him!"

Mirror Twelve said very, very decisively.

...

"Mirror Twelve, what is its reaction?"

Zhuge Caihua, actually, had already figured it out.

"Mirror Twelve has been cursing Meng Yu all day long!"

Master Lihua suddenly burst into loud laughter.

Thanks to Meng Yu's reminder, the citizens of Immortal Sect finally remembered Mirror Twelve. After dragging it out for two years, the time for a trial had finally come.

Or rather, the Emperor's new clothes had finally been pierced by Meng Yu.

Everyone remembered that Divine Artifact, which was about to die but courageously did what it did for the future of Immortal Sect. Even Meng Yu empathized with it and was pleading for it.

But in reality, upon hearing of Meng Yu's love, Mirror Twelve, shocked from its deathly illness, sat up to curse Meng Yu, "Meng Yu, damn you, Immortal!"

Would Immortal Sect have the heart to execute a Fifth Order damaged Divine Instrument that was willing to selflessly devote itself to Immortal Sect? This thing was like Nuclear Weapons, fundamentally the Nation-Protecting Artifact of Immortal Sect!

Regardless, it would be better for him to perish alongside a big shot from the enemy camp than to simply kill him outright!

Originally, with efforts from all sides, they planned to let him live a carefree life before dying, even delaying for ten or a hundred years, but Meng Yu's move just threw him into the fire, dooming him!

His crimes were far worse than Meng Yu's, amounting to betraying the Immortal Sect and resorting to violence and so on… When the predecessors of the Immortal Sect established the rules, they took into consideration all manner of procrastination by future generations, which is why there was a deadline to execute him at once!

The period for delay has already passed, but as long as Mirror Twelve doesn't become an internet sensation, it could continue to be deferred. But now, with just a few words from Meng Yu, everyone's attention is brought back to Mirror Twelve!

Moreover, what's more critical is that Meng Yu delivered Mirror Twelve's epitaph!

Mirror Twelve, you are the last backbone and conscience of the Immortal Sect!

Yes, this speech from Meng Yu was the best send-off for Mirror Twelve, the number one criminal of the Immortal Sect, a perpetrator so vicious that there were neither predecessors nor would there be successors, recognized Mirror Twelve as the true backbone of the Immortal Sect. No combination of Golden Core Nascent Souls could compare to the shock of a single Mirror Twelve to him!

Look, Meng Yu and the public have elevated you so high. So, Mr. Mirror Twelve, could you, for the sake of the dignity of the law and the future of the Immortal Sect, stop the delays and go to your death openly and happily?

Please, sir, embrace your demise!

"The most interesting part is that after hearing the news, Mirror Twelve cursed Meng Yu furiously, and cleanly expressed his willingness to go and kill Meng Yu, right now!"

Master Lihua laughed herself to death upon hearing this news.

Previously, Mirror Twelve, with a pitiable face, proposed to the Immortal Sect that killing him would be a waste. He was willing to take out other big shots from the Demon Gate, Nascent Souls, or even those in Divinity Transformation stage, and would rather go out in a blaze of glory with them. "Send me, and I'll go to their homes and explode with their entire families right now!"

But the Immortal Sect wasn't foolish. Predecessor, how could we let you make such a sacrifice? The subtext being, if you went, ninety-nine percent chance you'd just slip away. Once you're in the Demon Gate territory, who could catch you?

You were a woman of unwavering virtue for nine lifetimes, but after you gave yourself over to debauchery once, you changed. Do you realize how lasciviously you laugh now?

So, you could deal with some internal issues of the Immortal Sect, like certain desolate places, or some sealed monsters, etc., or… how about Meng Yu?

Void Shifting is a very rare ability. Even Nascent Souls who learn it can only use it within a planet, and Mirror Twelve also can't achieve interstellar transport. Therefore, the Immortal Sect was quite happy to let Mirror Twelve go after Meng Yu.

However, Mirror Twelve refused. He stated, although the young man has made mistakes, he is still his student (the high school competition host Mirror Twelve), and besides, look how he hasn't been killing people that much lately. So, I think it isn't appropriate. Hall Master Zhao is more suited than I am.

Very suitable, extremely suitable, Old Predecessor Mirror Twelve, you are the most suitable one!

Star Industrial Company and some tycoons tried various persuasions on Mirror Twelve.

Then, everyone was at a standoff when Meng Yu's interview came out, along with the news of his charitable deeds. Even more importantly, Meng Yu said these words during the interview.

"If I am fortunate enough to meet Teacher Mirror Twelve, I will surely apologize and follow in his footsteps!"

What does this imply? Sending Mirror Twelve to find Meng Yu, but what if Mirror Twelve turns on them?

These days, Meng Yu has been using Void Shifting to commit murder and robbery all over the Immortal Sect without ever taking anyone with him. Many speculated that Meng Yu couldn't Void Shift with other people. But he could move around with Spirit Stones, weapons, equipment!

So tell me, if you let Mirror Twelve out and he suppresses his cultivation to meet Meng Yu, you think it will be a resounding duel where it's best if they both died, much to everyone's joy. But Meng Yu's words hint at another possibility.

"Teacher Mirror Twelve, I have always admired you."

"Meng Yu, I like you too."

Then their hands clasped together.

"Let's elope!"
