Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 187 The Three Major Guilds Admit Defeat

This wait lasted for half a month.

One day, half a month later, Su Yu, who was cultivating with Qing Chan in the Zhenhai Realm, suddenly received a message from Gu Zhi Qiu:
"Brother, the people from the three major guilds have arrived."

"almost there."

He shut down the communication, finished the last sip of his drink, and said to Qingchan:

"The three major guilds are here, let's go take a look."

Canghai also stood up and asked softly:

"Do you need my help?"

"You can focus on your spiritual practice."

Su Yu glanced at the Canghai panel. At this moment, her supreme mental cultivation method, the Innate Water Element Creation Heavenly Book, had been upgraded to the ninety-sixth level. She estimated that she could reach the one hundredth level in one or two months in the Other Shore, and then she could directly build her Dao foundation without even having to undergo the Heavenly Tribulation.

Su Yu understood that once her abilities improved further, new abilities would naturally emerge, and the Zhenhai Pearl would also undergo significant changes.

Emerging from Zhenhai Pearl, the canyon had already been transformed by craftsmen, who had built a city within it.

However, it is only a rough prototype at present, and it has not yet been attached with anti-spell talismans. The city-protecting formation is yet to appear.

Chu Xinyue had already arrived. There were twenty or thirty people parked a few hundred meters away on the opposite side. Among them were several acquaintances from the Heavenly Gu Society, but no troops from the three major guilds were seen.

At this moment, Su Yu heard her second brother's voice:
"They are here to determine whether your dragon transformation is a one-time use or a regular supernatural power. If it is determined that this move can be used frequently, we may be able to make them retreat without even having to fight."

"I see."

Su Yu leaped into the air and stood alongside them, and instantly all twenty-six pairs of eyes fell on him.

The three guild leaders stood side by side, exchanged glances, and Yue Jingfeng, the guild leader of the Heavenly Gu Guild in the center, said in a deep voice:
"I believe you already know our purpose. No need for further words. Let us see the truth behind your move. If it's real, our three major guilds will admit defeat and withdraw from Ten Thousand Poisons Island within three months. If it's fake, hmph!"

Zeng Hongyu, the president of the Ten Thousand Poisons Society, snorted coldly:

"Show us the shared panel directly. If you refuse, we'll assume it's fake, and our three major guilds will immediately raise an army to expel you from Ten Thousand Poison Island."

Su Yu raised an eyebrow, somewhat displeased, and stepped forward, saying:
“I’m glad you’re willing to back down, as this will reduce many unnecessary casualties, but I don’t like the tone of your voice when you speak to me.”

He said coldly:
"You need to understand that you are the ones who are anxious and afraid right now, not us. Whether or not to share the panel for you to see is my decision. My agreement or not will not affect the ownership of Ten Thousand Poison Island. It will definitely be in my hands in the future."

He snorted coldly and reprimanded him without any politeness:
“If you’re going to bow your head, then do it properly. Don’t try to threaten me while bowing your head; it’s useless except to provoke me.”

Anger visibly rose among the group, and two of them turned red in the face, but no one made a move, and Su Yu was certain that they wouldn't dare to.

He was certain that they didn't have the guts to fight to the bitter end, given that they had waited a month and a half to come.

They were afraid; they were afraid it was real.

And indeed, he was genuinely confident that he didn't take them seriously.

He doesn't believe any guild can withstand a monthly onslaught of a true dragon transformation.

Apart from the headquarters of the three major guilds, other branches and resource sites could not withstand the attack of a super BOSS. As soon as it made a move, one or two places would be destroyed.

Over time, no guild can withstand such a blow.

Don't even mention hiring experts to besiege him. Indeed, the dragon transformation can only last for a few minutes. A top-tier rogue immortal leading dozens of rogue immortals could indeed entangle him until the dragon transformation ends and then kill him.

But this behavior is only effective the first time; it becomes useless afterward, and they can't keep hiring them indefinitely.

He's not like a boss who just dies and is gone. He can be resurrected. Dying once only means losing a few years of lifespan, which they can't afford to waste.

So they had no choice but to bow their heads.

Su Yu reprimanded them to dampen their spirits before opening the panel and sharing this great supernatural power.

"Look carefully, I might as well tell you frankly: this supernatural power can only be used once a month, but it's enough to make it impossible for you to stand firm on Ten Thousand Poisons Island."

"If you are not satisfied, you may continue to resist, but you can estimate the consequences yourselves."

"You only have one chance. If you resist to the end, I will not accept your surrender next time."

The Dragon Transformation Divine Power attribute shared on the panel was clearly displayed in front of them, and everyone could see it clearly.

The expressions on the faces of the three guild leaders changed constantly, showing both resentment and relief.

Yue Jingfeng, the president of the Heavenly Gu Society, took a deep breath and clasped his hands in a fist salute:
"The Heavenly Gu Society will withdraw from Ten Thousand Poisons Island within three months."

After saying that, he turned to leave, and Su Yu immediately called out:
"Withdrawal is allowed, but the resource sites must not be destroyed."

He looked at the leaders of the Ten Thousand Poisons Gang and the Poison Dragon Gang and said:

"You are in the same boat. You all have three months to evacuate, and the resource areas are not allowed to be damaged."

"Furthermore, I advise you to locate your new headquarters far from here. Once I establish my Dao foundation, my transformation will last at least an hour, and no one below the Earth Immortal level will be able to stop me. At that time, my territory will cover at least a million kilometers in radius. I don't think you want to have to move again so soon after you've already moved here." The group gritted their teeth, suppressing their anger, and bowed, saying:
"No need for you to trouble yourself."

"I was just offering a friendly reminder, after all, I've always been a kind-hearted person and don't want to cause any more killing."

The remaining people twitched their lips and took their leave.

After they left, his second brother looked him up and down with a surprised expression and said:

"Sure, it has that flavor."

He paused for a moment and managed to utter a sentence:
"Even my master can't put on airs like you."

Su Yu laughed heartily:

"He can't compare to Venerable Mingsu."

The group returned amidst laughter and playful banter, while a few dozen high-ranking members of the guild, including captains and above, gathered for a meeting.

Chu Xinyue briefly recounted what had just happened to the guild leaders who were absent, then raised her phoenix eyes to look at Su Yu, gesturing with her hand as she spoke:

“The three major guilds have already yielded, and the remaining small and medium-sized guilds on Ten Thousand Poison Island are no match for us. Next, we need to consider the guild's development plan, which will be overseen by Vice President Su Yu.”

Su Yu, not to be outdone, cupped her hands in a respectful gesture to Chu Xinyue and said:
"There are only three urgent things to do now. The first is to spread the word about this matter, and then issue an ultimatum to all guilds on the island, requiring all those who do not wish to join our guild to leave within three months."

"Secondly, assemble a team to go to various locations on Wan Du Island to inventory the resource points of major guilds. Be careful not to clash with them, just inventory the points, and it will be easier to take over the resources after they leave."

"Thirdly, we will recruit people. We will send people to player gathering points all over the island to recruit guild members. The first batch is expected to recruit 100,000 people, giving priority to young people, with the oldest not exceeding fifty years old."

"In addition, if any small or medium-sized guilds want to merge into our guild, they need to be broken up and incorporated into various groups. I don't want too many factions within the guild."

That's all for now. Please feel free to add anything.

As soon as he sat down, Chu Xiaoyu immediately raised her hand and asked:

"As far as I know, besides these guilds, there are many other strongholds established by various forces in the vicinity of Wan Du Island using its poisonous insect resources. These strongholds do not participate in local conflicts. Should we notify them? Should everything remain the same, or should we treat them all equally?"

Su Yu pursed her lips, looked at Chu Xinyue and her second brother and sister-in-law respectively, and asked:

"Second brother, are you familiar with these strongholds? Do you think we should drive them away?"

Su Huan said in a deep voice:

“I think we can drive them away. In the past, we allowed them to occupy resource sites and establish strongholds because the three major guilds checked and balanced each other and none of them could do anything to the others. Now that Wan Du Island is about to be unified, there is no need to care about the face of those guilds.”

Then, Meng Siyi, the second sister-in-law, added:
“Driving them away has one advantage: we will dominate Ten Thousand Poisons Island. All the poisonous creatures and insects in the entire East China Sea will be in our hands. If these guilds need these resources, they can only buy them from us. This is an extremely lucrative income.”

“I’ve done my research before. If we can monopolize this business, we can earn more than 50,000 gold coins a month just from selling ordinary poisonous insects.”

Su Yu's eyes lit up immediately, and she waved her hand without hesitation:
"Then there's no need to consider it, just drive them all away."

With an income of 50,000 gold per month and 600,000 gold per year, what's there to hesitate about?

Moreover, they now have enough power to subdue them, so they don't need to consider whether or not to give those guilds face.

Two hours later, the meeting ended, and orders came from the canyon. A few teams flew in all directions to spread the news that the three major guilds of Wan Du Island had conceded defeat and that Wan Du Island was about to be unified.

The news shocked the entire island.

Many large and small factions and individual players found it unbelievable and sought confirmation from the three major guilds.

The three major guilds have not responded, but the large number of members leaving the guilds and the withdrawal of troops from various resource areas indicate that this is true.

The main reason these people left the three major guilds was that they were primarily cultivating the Gu Dao (a type of poison cultivation). If they left Wan Du Island, they would not be able to replenish their Gu worms at any time, so of course they would not leave.

At this time, the Thousand Stars Palace recruitment team arrived, and a large number of members who had left the guild applied to join the Thousand Stars Palace.

Thousand Star Palace treats all guild members who have left the three major guilds equally, accepting them as long as they meet the standards.

All these newly recruited personnel will be under unified management, and after a preliminary assessment of one month, they will be assigned to the three regiments and other brigades.

After discussing with Chu Xinyue, her second brother, and her second sister-in-law, Su Yu adjusted the guild's structure.

From now on, the guild will only have three main groups and will not add any new main groups. The number of people in the three main groups will also be limited to 10% of the total number of guild members. That is, if the guild has 100,000 official members, the maximum number of people in each main group will be 10000.

If the guild dominates Wan Du Island in the future, with 300,000 or 500,000 members, the main force will have 30,000 or 50,000 members respectively.

The remaining members were organized into large brigades, each with only 20% of the main regiment's size.

The main force regiment has 10,000 men, while the battalion only has 2,000 men, and so on.

In addition, the guild does not have independent teams. Any forces that merge into the guild in the future will be broken up and incorporated into the guild. Independent teams are not allowed to exist.
