Chapter 101: Covert War
```
The goose-feather-like snow kept falling, and the gale brought even more bitter cold.
An hour later, the Death Squad of the Immortal Sect, through great expense, teleported out of thin air onto the planet, appearing at a secret station fifty miles away from the base.
This was a secret location constructed by the Enforcement Hall, explicitly designed for situations like this, equipped with ample food and a signal receiver.
Of course, it could only receive signals from this planet.
Everyone made a safe landing, then maintained vigilance surrounding them, and began gathering intel. Shortly after, messages in the company channel began to flood in like a tide.
Four hundred and ninety-two neatly prepared individuals listened intently to what had happened.
The pre-teleportation mission briefing mentioned only one enemy, yet in reality, everyone would believe there had to be multiple enemies.
How could it be just one person? It must be some shameless Golden Core or a peak Foundation Establishment, suppressing their cultivation to carry this out, with their subordinates nearby, or even some insider colluding to sabotage the Teleportation Portal!
The Death Squad often encountered various situations and were prepared for a fight to the death, but upon arrival, they discovered that there was indeed only one enemy, Meng Yu?
Yes, on the planet now, everyone was discussing Meng Yu in the entire communication channels, both on the internet and on broadcasts, gossiping about how he arrived and what he planned to do, etc.
Just one person, he came alone?
"We are five hundred men strong, fully armed, all of us top-notch experts, with the home field advantage," someone said.
"The broadcast stated that Meng Yu didn't kill too many people but let them go instead. Among those who fled, there were more than six hundred Qi Refinement Practitioners."
"Contact them. We have the advantage; no matter how we fight, we can't lose!"
Everyone chimed in with their piece, discussing the battle plans. After all, however formidable Meng Yu might be, he was only at the Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation; among their five hundred, one hundred and thirty were at the Ninth Layer, and the rest were all battle-hardened elite soldiers!
"Don't rush, I think we need to consider our options a bit more," said a middle-aged man.
He was a representative from the Star Universe Insurance Company; as one of the individuals who regularly joined forces with the Enforcement Hall to plunge into dangerous situations, specially managing claim assessments, his expression looked particularly grave.
"I also think we shouldn't be hasty," said the pretty lady from the tax bureau, seemingly deep in thought.
"Right, did you hear the discussions on the net? Could it be that Meng Yu has developed a simple and quick method of teleportation, escaping from the Supreme Star and arriving at Qingye Small World?" said the customs representative, equally excited.
"Old Luo, don't listen to them. Meng Yu is a criminal. You should act quickly and kill him!" implored the representative from Star Industrial, unable to contain himself and speaking out to the Death Squad's captain.
"Old Luo, I still think, if possible, could we try to capture or persuade Meng Yu? Tell him that by surrendering, he will be absolved of all charges. We can guarantee his safety, no matter what he has done; we can get him cleared of all charges and pardoned by the Immortal Sect!" said the customs company representative, emphasizing again.
The Death Squad experienced its first split in opinion.
…
"The sun shines high above, the flowers smile at me, the little bird says good morning, why would you go blow up the factory…"
Meng Yu hummed the nursery rhyme as he wandered through the factory.
After killing more than twenty Qi Refinement Practitioners, Meng Yu had acquired several Storage Bags, now all filled to the brim.
Oh, this was the only drawback—he hadn't been able to find any larger or more Storage Artifacts.
Heaps of metal materials, gold and silver, weapons—Meng Yu quite fancied taking all of them, but unfortunately, his Phasing Skill had a one-month cooldown period on the Immortal Sect's side. Hence, he couldn't rely on phasing for this; it would be too risky if he couldn't make a quick escape when necessary (He had arrived at Qingye Small World a month early, then lay low and gathered information until the cooldown ended, ensuring he could phase to Great Wu at any time).
The workers had all been sent away by Meng Yu; after all, these machines were about to be destroyed.

"Mr. Meng."
```
Someone crept over quietly, a Qi Refinement Practitioner at the seventh layer.
"What is it?"
"I'm willing to be your spy."
"What are your conditions?"
"I want seven jin of Ash Immortal Silver, and three jin of Black Iron Gold."
"No problem, but how will you take it back?"
Meng Yu cocked his head, replying, "The customs inspections at the Immortal Sect are very strict, and you will still be checked. You won't be able to deceive those people. How will you explain it then?"
The customs inspections at the Teleportation Portal to Supreme Star from Qingye Small World are extremely strict.
"Can't you take me with you? I'm willing to be your underling."
"I can't, truly sorry."
"In that case, Mr. Meng, I have an electronic mailbox. If you manage to escape, could you hide the items somewhere and send the address to this one? My descendants or I will retrieve them."
The man's gaze was firm as he looked at Meng Yu.
He was a Qi Refinement Practitioner at the seventh layer, but his family was already deep in debt, with no possibility of obtaining further resources to advance. He had children and more, and could only watch as he became an ordinary person with insufficient resources.
But he refused to accept this!
All he could do now was trust Meng Yu because, although he didn't believe in human nature, he believed in the media of the Immortal Sect!
The media had raked Meng Yu over the coals, painting him black, but the more they dug, the more they discovered that this person was extremely principled and clear about gratitude and grudges.
"No problem."
With a wave of Meng Yu's hand, a box fell into the man's hands, inside were ten jin of Ash Immortal Silver.
"Take this and hide it wherever you like. As for deceiving customs and passing the inspection, that's your affair. Such minor matters aren't worth my quibbling over with you. Sort it out yourself. As for the other ten jin of Black Iron Gold, once I leave Qingye Small World, I will hide it according to your request someplace and send the address to your mailbox. Remember to go get it, how about that?"
If you come and pledge allegiance, I welcome you wholeheartedly, and if you want a high salary, I will double it for you!
"Thank you, Mr. Meng, thank you."
"I have plenty of treasures here too. If you have any better contributions in the meantime, I am not stingy, am I? Don't let those employees join together speaking more discouraging words."
Meng Yu said very sincerely.
"Thank you, Mr. Meng."
"I will surely act if not betrayed."
Meng Yu said politely, then looked into the distance.
"Right, someone else is coming, probably another person wanting to pledge allegiance. You better take a veil and leave first. Think carefully about where you could be of help to me."
The warehouse behind him was filled with various supplies, the storeroom packed with a dazzling array of materials. Meng Yu couldn't possibly take them all, so he had plenty of money to bribe everyone.
And most importantly, Meng Yu could escape and then send everyone the money!
Setting fire to a villa just to roast an egg.
What, the owner of the villa is furious?
Sorry, that's my lack of understanding.
But the taste of the egg is really good.
