Chapter Thirty-Four: Breaking the Mountain and Dividing the Treasure

  Hei Mu Shan left behind many good things. Since the Wolf Ancestor left his legacy here a thousand years ago, Hei Mu Shan has always been one of the strongest legacies within a radius of ten thousand miles. With a thousand years of accumulation, its foundation cannot be said to be shallow. Moreover, this time, Hei Mu Shan was completely annihilated, and due to the joint attack by everyone, not a single person from Hei Mu Shan escaped, nor were any treasures transferred out.

  They broke into Hei Mu Shan, and the crowd rescued the female slaves who were imprisoned in Hei Mu Shan. The evil servants were all killed, and then they forcibly opened the treasure house of Hei Mu Shan. For a moment, the golden light was dazzling, and everyone was stunned by the spiritual medicine, divine ore, and magical instruments that filled the small mountain.

  If it weren't for many experts being present, they would have almost rushed up to fight for it.

  Even Leng Da Shi, Shui Yue Niang Niang, Liu Da Jiang Jun and others saw this treasure, and couldn't help but feel their hearts racing.

  "The greatest contributor in this battle is Meng Gongzi, let's have him choose first."

  Shuǐ Yuè Niáng proposed it and got everyone's consent.

  After all, if it weren't for Meng Xuan's invitation of the three mysterious masters, Sifang City wouldn't have had the power to destroy Hei Mu Shan.

  Not to mention anything else, just the cultivation of the Wolf Master has exceeded their imagination. If it weren't for Old Man Shi Long, the few of them combined might not be able to win, let alone the fact that the Wolf Master also had the assistance of the ten great elders?

  However, Meng Xuan took a look and smiled: "I don't need this, everyone worked together to destroy Hei Mu Shan, how could Meng Xuan dare to take all the credit? Why not let Master Cheng Deng assign it, I'll just take the smallest share!"

  Meng Xuan wasn't lying, he had actually obtained a treasure that he couldn't have imagined.

  The Wolf Master's Wolf Ancestor Token had already been taken into his hands, and although he hadn't examined it carefully yet, Meng Xuan was extremely certain that it was a rare artifact with a profound connection to himself. As for the treasures in the Wolf Master's treasury, while there were many rare items, they paled in comparison to the Wolf Ancestor Token, and might as well be sold off directly.

  After all, General Liu's unit, Shuimeiniang's unit, and Lengdaishi's unit have all suffered casualties and need to be comforted.

  He asked Master Chengdeng to distribute, but he considered that Master Chengdeng was a man of great virtue and calm temperament, so letting him do the distribution would make it seem more fair. Master Chengdeng did not decline, he naturally understood Meng Xuan's thoughts, and generously divided all the spiritual medicine, divine minerals, and magical instruments into ten portions, giving Meng Xuan three portions, Cold Master taking three portions, and General Liu and Water Moon Empress each taking two portions.

  "The old monk is an outsider, and this time he didn't help much in the battle, so he won't take any treasure. The reason for our victory was all thanks to Meng Xiaoyou, so Meng Xiaoyou will get 30%. Leng Dashi drew his sword to assist, and eliminated the great hidden danger of Sifang City, also getting 30%. As for General Liu and Shuimoniangniang, don't blame me. General Liu destroyed Hei Moshan, this matter will be reported to the imperial court, and soon there will be a heavy reward coming. I'm afraid that by then, you won't even look at these treasures from Hei Moshan anymore. And as for Shuimoniangniang..."

  Master Qingyue was explaining, but Shuixiao Niangniang smiled and said, "My Qingyue Ridge and Hei Mu Shan are sworn enemies. Even if we don't destroy them today, they will surely destroy us in the future. It can be said that destroying Hei Mu Shan is my Qingyue Ridge's ultimate goal. Now that the Wolf Master has been punished, even if I resolve the hanging sword over Qingyue Ridge, treasures and such are no longer important!"

  "It doesn't have to be like this!"

  Meng Xuan Dao said, "Master Qingdeng's division into ten parts is acceptable to me. However, regarding the distribution, please listen to my suggestion. I'll take out one-tenth of my three-tenths and give it to Qingqiuling, then take out another tenth and give it to General Liu. The remaining tenth will be chosen by Master Qingdeng himself to take a few items he likes, and the rest I will decline. After all, your family has a large business and needs more things."

  Everyone who heard Meng Xuan's words couldn't help but feel a little moved. Meng Xuan was young, but his magnanimity earned people's admiration.

  However, Meng Xuan said so, but the crowd could not do so, and they opened their mouths to ask for another distribution method.

  In the end, another division was adopted after a big quarrel. A few Buddhist-related items were selected from the treasure and donated to the Great Zen Temple in the name of Master Chengdeng. The remaining items were divided into ten shares. Meng Xuan declined but took two tenths, Leng Daxian still took three tenths as before, and the remaining five tenths were shared by General Liu and Qingqiuling.

  This equal division method, however, made everyone happy, and even Master Qingdeng couldn't refuse. Among the ritual objects that were picked out, there were demon-subduing pestles used by Buddhist masters, as well as a few strands of rosary beads made from the refined bones of immortal Taoist priests. There were also several volumes of scriptures that, although they looked worn and incomplete, emitted a gentle aura and produced a resonant Buddha sound when opened. As for these items, Master Qingdeng really couldn't bring himself to refuse them either.

  Leng Dashi took the most, and no one had any objections. After all, Leng Dashi had been protecting Siling City with his sword for many years, all of which were voluntary actions. The king would never reward him, so letting him take an extra half share was also a small token of appreciation from Siling City to him.

  As for General Liu and Princess Shuimeng, the two of them have achieved great merits, one has made a great contribution and the other has eliminated an enemy that had been entangled for nearly a thousand years. It can be said that their wishes have been fulfilled, so even if they don't take the treasure trove, they would still be willing to do so. Being able to get two and a half each is already an unexpected joy.

  For Meng Xuan, he didn't originally plan to take so much, but everyone clearly stated that he was the first to achieve this feat, and it was only right that he should take the majority of the treasures. That he was willing to share with others was already a great gift; if he hadn't taken anything at all, no one would have been able to rest easy.

  After they had agreed, everyone used their magical powers and moved the entire treasure house away.

  On the second day at dusk, the wolf master's head was hung on the city gate, announcing that one side of the demon cave had been broken.

  News spread that the heart disease of Siling City for many years has been eliminated, and the entire city of Siling is in a state of frenzy. Countless people rushed to tell each other, tears of joy streaming down their faces. Families who had lost loved ones to Hei Mu Shan were especially grateful, setting off firecrackers to celebrate, gathering together to express their gratitude at the gates of Leng Fu, Liu Fu and Meng Fu, almost trampling the doorsteps.

  Commander Liu saw this scene, took out a portion of silver, and directly set up a ten-mile-long banquet table in front of the moat. Free wine and meat were all moved over, ordinary people ate and drank for free, and also invited opera stages and acrobatic performances, reveling through the night, as if celebrating the New Year.

  As for those little demons and evil people who were once deceived by the ancient Gu, they all lost their courage when they saw the wolf master's head hanging high on the gate of Sì Xiàng City.

  Everyone was relieved that the demon-slaying order had been issued for a short time and they hadn't had time to provoke the Meng family yet.

  Otherwise, at this time, I'm afraid all the bitter water will be spat out.

  Even Hei Mù Shān was destroyed, just how powerful is Meng Jia Zi?

  Who dares to provoke again?

  While everyone in the city was celebrating wildly, Meng Xuan had arrived at the Xiao family's residence with Leng Daoshi and others.

  Unlike the cheers outside the wall, the Xiao family was empty and deserted at this time, without even a single servant.

  The Xiao family has completely dispersed, and Xiao Yufei took Xiao Qing to flee the city overnight as soon as they heard that Hei Mu Shan was destroyed, and returned to Qing Cong Xian Men to avoid disaster. The collateral branches of the Xiao family were also afraid of being affected by the great calamity, and fled in a hurry. Later, the master of the Xiao family, Xiao Long Yin, even dispersed all his wives, concubines, and servants, leaving only himself and an old loyal slave at home to wait for Meng Xuan to come and ask for punishment.

  "What else can you say with this letter from Xiao Longyin?"

  Meng Xuan threw a letter at Xiao Longyin's feet, which was found in the Wolf Master's study.

  After a thorough search, the crowd found a large number of letters in the Wolf Lord's study, which proved that the Xiao family had been in close contact with Hei Mu Shan for decades. Many of the red dust materials needed by Hei Mu Shan were sold to them by the Xiao family, and in return, the Xiao family received protection for their merchant caravans from Hei Mu Shan's forces. In fact, some enemy families' cargo was even reported to Hei Mu Shan, who would then send out bandits to rob and kill them. The Xiao family had accumulated a vast fortune by relying on this secret, becoming incredibly wealthy.

  After learning this secret, it was not just Meng Xuan, but everyone else who deeply resented the Xiao family's actions.

  Colluding with Hei Muzhang is equivalent to Meng Xuan's past life colluding with Japan during the Anti-Japanese War and selling out his compatriots, which is a heinous crime that arouses public indignation.

  "What can I say?"

  Xiao Long Yin let out a bitter laugh, his eyes falling blankly on Meng Xuan as he said: "If you must blame someone, then blame my family's Fei Er for being blind and not seeing the extent of your abilities. You've even destroyed Black Wood Mountain... just how great is your power? Ha! Poor Fei Er still thought you were a useless person... in the past hundred years, the stupidest thing my Xiao family has done is offend you..."

  He said, slowly standing up and opening his chest, "Lord Meng, come at me with your sword. I'm the one who informed on Black Wood Mountain, I'm the one who did business with them... all my sins are mine alone... kill me, just hope this feud ends here with me, and you won't bother Fei'er and Qing'er in the future..."

  "Kill you? You're already done for, no need for me to do it!" Meng Xuan shook his head and said: "General Liu and Governor Zhi will arrive soon, you can deal with your own consequences! As for your son and daughter, if they don't come looking for trouble in the future, I won't bother them either. But if they still want to provoke me in the future, then even the Immortal Gate can't protect them!"

  Meng Xuan said and turned away.

  Xiao Longyin has committed such a serious crime, King Chu Ting will not let them go, and there is no need for him to take action himself.
