Becoming evil makes you ten times stronger, but becoming a demon gives you hundredfold strength-Chapter 330 - 293 Compensation for Being Late is Not Glory_2
"On the Immortal Sect’s side, the main issue was that the Divinity Transformation masters were divided in opinion, some were in seclusion, others believed the overall situation was of primary importance, and on top of that, each department had its own thoughts, leading to the general tendency to just leave Mirror Twelve over there,"
the Tea Fairy spoke thus, sighing deeply.
The interests involved with Meng Yu were too great.
In ancient times, when a servant achieved what was beyond the rewards possible to bestow, the emperor, at last, had no choice but to pain fully behead him. In the current world, Meng Yu was entangled in such significant interests that he was caught up in all sorts of vortexes, causing many who were not clear-minded to argue, why should Meng Yu take fifty percent or even more of the shares, when he was merely someone who collected tolls.
There were even suggestions, considering that the Immortal Sect’s Golden Core masters could make Moon God pacts, that they could completely impose restrictions on Meng Yu, making him fully subject to the Immortal Sect’s control—indeed, had Meng Yu not demonstrated his ability in Growing Golden Lotus, such measures would have been taken earlier, and if not for Meng Yu showing what it means to prefer death to surrender, he might have been targeted by others already.
Meng Yu did not respond immediately, but sat there for a long time in thought.
"Thank you for the generosity of the three seniors, no need, no need, it hasn’t reached that point,"

This was his answer.
"Qian Qian is very fond of the Immortal Sect, she chose this path, it’s her freedom, there’s no need to rescue her, it’s fine, she is her, and I am me."
Meng Yu said calmly, then took his leave.
The three Nascent Souls looked at each other, none speaking a word.
Late justice is not justice, a delayed reward is but an insult.
Certain matters, unclear to many, yet felt by all to be wrong.
Elite troops get used to their breaking point, outstanding members are sometimes suppressed from promotion, being tested, they say.
Such occurrences, from ancient times to the present, will no doubt continue into the future.
More than a year had passed since Meng Yu returned with his Golden Core, and in that time, what Meng Yu wanted to do, everyone knew, what Meng Yu wanted, everyone also knew, but those were precisely what the Immortal Sect could not give.
Meng Yu wanted the Immortal Sect to release Bai Qianqian and grant him a Qingfeng Star that belonged entirely to him and Bai Qianqian, along with sufficient status to ensure his safety within the Immortal Sect while participating in friendly collaboration with the sect.
However, the requirements put forth by Meng Yu were something the Immortal Sect could not agree to.
Again, it’s the same reasoning; the Immortal Sect does not trust Meng Yu—this man has never been a good citizen!
As a Qi Refinement Practitioner, he was able to slaughter countless, and during his Foundation Establishment, he blasted away with Divine Thunder recklessly, so what would he be like upon reaching Golden Core?
The Immortal Sect previously proposed that a certain True God Transforming Master was willing to take Meng Yu as a Direct Disciple, and so on.
Meng Yu refused.
...
On the third day, Meng Yu and the representatives of the Immortal Sect discussed in private.
His grudge with the Eternal Night Palace was actually trivial, simply a loss of face, but the real issue wasn’t significant; the subsequent escalation was mainly to give the Immortal Sect an opportunity to make some extra profit.
Even now, Meng Yu could disengage and still extort a substantial amount of Spirit Stones from the Eternal Night Palace, who would also deliver the head of Wang Yingjie.
The Immortal Sect lacked Spirit Stones, Meng Yu did not!
Afterward, Meng Yu and the representatives of the Immortal Sect discussed strategic and tactical issues again.
The previously devised plan was based on a premise of annihilation warfare, where Meng Yu would draw away the Eternal Night Palace’s combat strength, and then, Mirror Twelve, lying in ambush, would suddenly emerge, leading the Golden Core army into phased annihilation, destroying the Nascent Souls of the Eternal Night Palace and finally charging headlong into the palace to ransack it thoroughly.
He did not originally want Mirror Twelve to join, it was the Immortal Sect that insisted, promising security for the involvement of Mirror Twelve, but an accident happened.
And now, they intended to turn the annihilation campaign into a prolonged law enforcement battle, sorry, that was purely wishful thinking.
This is not the Western Wastes; the Central Plains is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. No one knows how many terrifying beings there are. A hit-and-run assault and prolonged occupation are two entirely different matters. He absolutely does not recommend doing this!
It was supposed to be a bank heist, now you want to take over the bank and even the entire building?
Are you kidding me?
As the conversation was private, Meng Yu spoke vehemently. Although the people from the Immortal Sect tried various persuasions, in the end, they reached an agreement, no matter what, to dispatch the next three hundred Golden Cores over there.
Immortal Sect could not restrict Meng Yu in this regard.
Despite the disagreements between Meng Yu and the upper echelons of the Immortal Sect, the second batch of three hundred Golden Cores was eager to try their luck, hoping to snowball their success. If anyone stood in the way of their fortune, they’d be enemies for life. Mirror Twelve’s success in achieving Divinity Transformation was celebrated, and regarding anything else, they rather trusted Meng Yu’s character more.
Meng Yu made it very clear to everyone, "I will absolutely not take three hundred Golden Cores as hostages, nor will I treat everyone unfairly. Even if negotiations with the Immortal Sect break down, I will make sure to send everyone back safely!"
The issue with Mirror Twelve would be discussed later.
On the fourth day, the second batch of three hundred Golden Cores signed the Moon God Contract and entered the storage bag, which Meng Yu took back with him.
Many people had opinions about this, but no one complained to Bai Qianqian.
Throughout the year, Bai Qianqian’s infiltration of the Immortal Sect was omnipresent.
In Meng Yu’s absence, she was active everywhere, making friends with various Divine Artifacts, Divine Beasts, and cultivators. Meng Yu was no longer the pitiable little cultivator who could be oppressed and tossed around at will; he had his own power within the Immortal Sect, and Bai Qianqian, along with Zhuge Caihua, tried every means to help him expand his influence.
Her only taboo was Meng Yu, if anyone spoke ill of Meng Yu, she would no longer pay them any attention or see them again!
The officials of the Immortal Sect could only watch helplessly as the platform lay empty before them.
Once the people were over there, it was all up to Meng Yu. Even in this moment, the Immortal Sect had lost control over the six hundred Golden Cores, hoping only that Meng Yu would treat them well.
After all, they all needed to return with Meng Yu.
...
Sleepless City.
Meng Yu appeared in an alley, staying outside for three days before returning to the courtyard. Of course, to everyone else, Meng Yu had only been away for four days.
The courtyard was the same as ever, intact. An old man playing the role of a Golden Core sat in the middle of the yard, guarding everything, but no one knew that the other servants were actually Golden Cores.
The two young girls, upon seeing Meng Yu return, hurriedly paid him their respects with great reverence.
Although they were proud at heart, they were very aware of what Golden Cores represented, and the longer they stayed, the more they sensed something strange. For instance, the twenty-plus remaining servant girls in the courtyard, while outwardly respectful to the Golden Core Master (actually somewhat mocking), were in fact more respectful towards him. Moreover, everyone was increasingly respectful towards Meng Yu...
"How are these two?"
Meng Yu looked at the two girls and asked.
"They have no other distracting thoughts and are quite clever; they can be put to use,"
a Golden Core replied.
"Hmm, that’s fine then. You two go rest now. There are some things that are not suitable for you to see."
"Yes."
The two girls nodded reluctantly. In the past few days, they spent at least six hours each day sleeping. As for the reason, of course, they were put into sleep with a spell.
Pitiful Innate Experts of the martial arts forced to sleep humiliated for more than six hours a day.
"Brother Cao, can we go meditate? I promise we won’t eavesdrop or talk, and San Hua won’t talk either. I think the Spirit Cat shouldn’t..."
The young kitchen maid said with a trace of dissatisfaction; being knocked out was actually something they could accept, but even the Spirit Cat had to be knocked out!
"Bear with it,"
Meng Yu rolled his eyes. "You’ll be paid for sleeping."
Alright, the two girls promptly shut their mouths.
They had no complaints; being here was their destiny. As for the secrecy, of course, they didn’t care; everyone has secrets, and they could feel that the people in the courtyard had no ill intentions towards them.
And, Meng Yu had his reasons for keeping them. It’s like setting up a front company; having a few receptionists made many things much more convenient. With the two of them around, a lot of things were easier.
Going down to the basement, he released the other three hundred people and followed the same procedure: understanding their situation and assigning tasks.
Although six hundred people were really a bit crowded, everyone had no complaints. Wealth and richness were right in front of them, waiting for Mirror Twelve to wake up, and then the slaughter would begin.
If Mirror Twelve did not wake up or if there was an accident, then Sleepless City, as one of the most prosperous metropolises in the northwest, was also an excellent place to rob. Continue reading at novelbuddy
Looking at everyone in the basement, Meng Yu suddenly realized that he had created a miracle.
This must be the Cultivation World’s cave dwelling with the highest density of Golden Cores, right?
