Becoming evil makes you ten times stronger, but becoming a demon gives you hundredfold strength-Chapter 334 - 296: Everyone Has a Bright Future, Mine is Even Brighter

Sleepless City, within Meng Yu’s underground palace.

Those who had achieved a Golden Core were among the most talented, restrained, intelligent, and diligent of their peers, staying underground without causing any disruption.

Naturally, there were also plenty of message exchanges and casual chats. Although they couldn’t bring high-tech products, the exchange of Divine Sense among Golden Cores was even more convenient and faster.

For example, the city of Sleepless City had long been thoroughly understood by everyone – how to occupy, manage, and plunder it. They had formed about a dozen plans: for instance, at the Eternal Night Palace, if Mirror Twelve did not appear, they had a strategy on how to fight as well.

No matter how harsh and dangerous the environment was, as long as there was hope, everyone was delighted.

As for daily diet and lodging standards, people truly didn’t care.

Then, this afternoon, trays of fresh fruit and various delicious foods were delivered.

Usually, Meng Yu and the others wouldn’t go out to buy various foods and fruits so as not to attract large-scale attention. Why was Meng Yu not concerned today?

And Phoenix Eye Fruit? Isn’t that a specialty from the Blood God Sect? Someone among the Golden Cores had once thought about introducing this economic crop but discovered that the geographical environment and the influence of stellar magnetism were very demanding, so the project failed.

Also, all these cans and pastries seemed to be made by people from the Blood God Sect, and some recognized the meats inside.

Furthermore, had it been mentioned before that Meng Yu wanted to head to the Blood God Sect?

So, what was the deal with these seasonal fruits? They were Wood Element Golden Cores; they could discern more clearly than anyone how long the fruits had been picked.

"What is going on here?"

Someone curiously asked how Meng Yu got hold of the Phoenix Eye Fruits and these items.

"Well, it’s timely. Ah Yu wants to hold a meeting to discuss what he plans to do next," someone replied. Your next read awaits at novelbuddy

Master Lihua was eating the fresh Phoenix Eye Fruit and felt very good, the taste was truly superb.

...

That evening, under the full moon, so they had made two young girls and a cat fall asleep, and a group of Golden Cores walked out of the underground.

When joining the workforce, the Golden Cores had to answer some questions.

Some extreme scenarios they might encounter in inter-world employment.

Working involved risks; other than death, there was also the possibility of disappearance or delayed return. In such cases, would your spouse, children, parents, or grandchildren be able to accept your disappearance for years or even decades, and would they cause any messy soap opera-type issues? For example, what if you came back two or three years or even ten years late and they were driving you crazy by marrying someone else, cheating, or remarrying?

Also, if you found out your return was delayed, yet you had promised someone you would definitely return at a certain time, would you do everything possible to come back, even if it meant ruining everything everyone had worked for, just to see your family?

Golden Cores unemotionally answered these melodramatic questions, stating, "I am single, I am not insane, I am very lucid," and so on.

As for family issues, they would arrange everything in advance so that even if something unexpected happened, it wouldn’t trouble Meng Yu or Bai Qianqian.

Everyone’s answers were very ordinary; they reassured that they would organize everything in advance for their families. Staying there for several years or even longer was fine as this work was an adventure, and they understood the risks involved.

Then, today was the day to unravel the mystery.

Although Meng Yu had been at the Blood God Sect for over a month, for the Golden Cores present, only a few hours had passed.

After putting the two little ones to sleep, everyone appeared in the courtyard.

All kinds of fruits and local specialties were set before them to taste, as Meng Yu began sharing the events of his recent days.

"Well, everyone knows about some conflicts I’ve recently had with the Immortal Sect. For example, I’ve always wanted Qian Qian to come home with me and hoped the Immortal Sect would treat me sincerely. But those old geezers took advantage, but wouldn’t act decently. They even felt that I hadn’t contributed enough, especially with the Mirror Twelve issue. It really pissed me off. They recommended someone problematic and put everyone in danger while I had to clean up their mess. Worst of all, they even said they wanted Mirror Twelve to stay here to establish a branch base! As if!"

Meng Yu’s words elicited agreement from everyone. He had the status of a sole agent, and now they wanted to set up a subsidiary. If the Immortal Sect stationed people here, Meng Yu would lose many of his advantages.

He would no longer be able to show off his Immortal Sect knowledge, his ability to cross worlds would be known by many, his exclusive distribution channels could be replaced by the Immortal Sect, and he would become the target of countless people. The most desired actions of the Divinity Transformation here were to capture or kill Meng Yu. Even the demons he had in the Western Wastes might become a means to threaten him!

In simple terms, the upper echelons thought Meng Yu should contribute, but in Meng Yu’s eyes, they wanted to slaughter his entire family!

"I am a reasonable person, and I appreciate everyone coming to help. So no matter how much I clash or fight with the Immortal Sect, I will never let you get into conflicts with the Immortal Sect, nor will I allow you to betray them.

As for using you as hostages? That would be insulting myself. I won’t go back on my word."

The barrier shielded all the leaking light, and candles were lit in the courtyard where six hundred Golden Cores silently sat, listening to Meng Yu, the number one rebel of the Immortal Sect, drawing big pies for everyone.

Today’s Meng Yu already had the confidence to make anyone listen to him attentively.

Between people, barriers often arise due to status, power, or even lack of communication. However, in reality, a classy poor man and a classy billionaire could end up as good friends if they were stranded together on a deserted island.

"First, let’s unify our thoughts, which is, there’s no one here who, upon encountering some opportunities, would not want to become wealthy, refuses to betray the Immortal Sect, or wants to stop others from earning money, right?"

"No."

Laughter filled the hall from the six hundred Golden Cores.

Everyone here was cunning as a fox. Meng Yu’s statement intrigued everyone about his plan.

Was Meng Yu planning a heist on the Immortal Sect’s treasury, or was he going to take down a big shot? Or perhaps...

Someone gazed at the specialty fruit of the Blood God Sect, speculating in their heart.

"Second, my upcoming action isn’t about robbing the Immortal Sect, but about robbing the Blood God Sect and the Guanghan Palace!"

The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.

Meng Yu shared his thoughts with the Golden Cores present.

"Everyone, I am very interested in the Blood River Array Map of the Blood God Sect, and you probably worry that I will turn you into Array Souls, don’t you? However, I’m not that sort of person. I gathered everyone tonight only to align our thoughts on capital punishment, and also to ask what you’d like to eat tomorrow?"

Ah, everyone was momentarily stunned.

"Well, we still have about a month before the formal operation. I can cross over to the Blood God Sect and various cities at any time, to procure many items; I just haven’t done so previously. As for now… There has been an accident on Mirror Twelve’s end, and I must consider extreme circumstances. So, in the upcoming month, I will frequently travel to the Blood God Sect to either purchase or plunder various goods. Each operation will only take a few hours, and if anyone wants to help, I’d be delighted."

"But we aren’t short of supplies, and if we really need anything, we could take it from the Immortal Sect," someone raised their hand and inquired.

"The Immortal Sect, always grudging and tight-fisted, wouldn’t give me the fourth-layer Formation Diagrams or any Divine Artifacts. They fear I might use them internally and generally act as if I owe them. So, I won’t bother them this time. The Blood God Sect has plenty of excellent items; I’ve scoped out the place, and when the time comes, I’ll transport people instantaneously. We’ll fight, kill the enemy, and take whatever spoils of war you want—it’s much better than the Immortal Sect’s offerings, right?"

Everyone fell silent, their eyes glinting with anticipation.

Meng Yu could bring three hundred people at once—of course, if counting the spoils of war, only two hundred. Normally, when people went out raiding, they went in groups of two to five at most, no match for Meng Yu bringing a hundred Golden Cores in one heist. And politically speaking, we were targeting the Blood God Sect...

Though the Immortal Sect had maintained relative peace with the Blood God Sect, Guanghan Palace, and other forces over these years, the Golden Cores present remembered plenty of deep vendettas. Moreover, the Golden Cores and Nascent Souls of the Blood God Sect, much like old money landlords, liked to hoard tons of Spirit Stones and treasures like the Blood Soul Pill and Blood Spirit Jade—although the production was bloody, the items tremendously valuable.

Then, Meng Yu threw out another temptation.

"Everyone, there’s been a change. Within this month, I plan to reach the Eighth or Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment to confront the crisis."

Each level of Foundation Establishment normally takes ten years, especially the last several levels where even a genius would need twenty to thirty years. And here was Meng Yu saying he aimed to reach the Eighth or Ninth Layer within a month?

Then, Meng Yu announced that the meeting was over, and everyone could go rest. Tomorrow, whatever dish from the Blood God Sect you wanted, he would bring for you.

That’s it, that’s it?

We still wanted to know how you would go there and what you would do after arriving!

As Meng Yu stood there beaming with pride yet acting as if he had a big secret—no, a huge secret—that he wouldn’t share with anyone, the Golden Cores clenched their teeth in frustration.

For the Golden Cores, what they craved the most was the opportunity encountered by Fairy Taohua and Master Lihua.

They had come here for a day and upon returning, their cultivation soared by nearly a hundred days-worth in a single day, and the increase was stable, making countless people die of envy!

This was an effect that no Spirit Pill or transmission of Spiritual Energy could match!

Latterly, others participated in the action but received none of such benefits. When they asked those two connivers, they merely smiled, implying that the others just hadn’t been lucky enough.

Sharp-eyed ones could see that Meng Yu’s aura had strengthened noticeably—a significant change in just seven hours!

Meng Yu, he had grown stronger!

"Everyone, goodbye."

Meng Yu smiled and bid goodbye to everyone.
