Becoming evil makes you ten times stronger, but becoming a demon gives you hundredfold strength-Chapter 539 - 392 Declaration of War
Blood Shadow Ancestor sneezed.
She claimed she was innocent, although she had recently caused others from the Blood Demon Sect to be slaughtered by the Myriad Gold Pavilion—The Myriad Gold Pavilion suspected that the Blood God Sect and the Blood Demon Sect were two sides of the same coin, so they irrationally seized many real-world members of the Blood Demon Sect, then tortured them with various methods before crushing their bones and scattering their ashes.
Regarding these fellow sect members, the Blood Shadow Ancestor felt very sorry. Speaking of which, why did she always feel like everyone was cursing her lately?
Right, in private messages, many people, especially True Monarch Yu Xia, were nearly driven mad, cursing her in three emails every day, scolding her for wickedly pulling Meng Yu into the Ascension List—as if they were all good sisters.
In fact, even if she hadn't helped Meng Yu enter the Ascension List, could he not have obtained an invitation from somewhere else?
"Don't you dare bully my Meng Yu!"
She replied to True Monarch Yu Xia with such righteous indignation. Meng Yu belonged to her, and the Blood God Sect seemed rather nice, didn't it?
...
Eternal Night Palace.
Mu Venerable sat in the highest seat, silent, while the upper echelons of Eternal Night Palace had all arrived in the grand hall.
Today was the last day; Meng Yu had given the final deadline for the surrender decision.
If there were no accidents, there was a forty percent chance that Mu Venerable would choose to surrender, but... the situation had changed drastically now.
His avatar in the Ascension List was currently in the last... no, not the last negotiation, but the Myriad Gold Pavilion was repeatedly increasing the strength of the aid they offered him!
After three Nascent Souls and dozens of Golden Cores died at Cool Breeze Mountain, the Myriad Gold Pavilion's interest in the northwest had waned significantly.
After all, the Myriad Gold Pavilion was a merchant's alliance, fundamentally united for profit. The loss of three Nascent Souls was akin to selling blood and flesh to aid the Eternal Night Palace, a kind of tragic loss they had not seen in centuries. And then to continue investing next, without having damaged the enemy?
What a joke. Losing one-fifth of their Nascent Souls had already dealt a major blow. What would they do if they lost again?
The Myriad Gold Pavilion was preparing to retract its forces, yet they did not state this outright. Instead, they encouraged Mu Venerable to continue resisting and all, citing many historical examples, saying, "You must sacrifice before we can send troops," and the like, deceiving Mu Venerable.
This was also the main reason Mu Venerable was prepared to surrender, but now, everything was entirely different.
On the other side, the Pavilion Master of the Myriad Gold Pavilion was sincere.
Everyone was waiting for Mu Venerable's decision; tomorrow was the final deadline. However, the Eternal Night Palace was a great sect, with its own pride and reputation to consider. Today, a decision had to be made firmly; if they hesitated until the last moment, the people's hearts would be lost.
There were also many onlookers in the Ascension List watching the excitement.
"Meng Yu actually attacked the Myriad Gold Pavilion at this time."
Everyone had finally reached Wanbao City, staring dumbfounded at the ruins left by Meng Yu's destruction.
One-third of the entire city had become rubble, and that person was still wreaking havoc; the Myriad Gold Pavilion's face had been slapped dozens of times, a burning pain.
From a high point in the city, the Pavilion Master of the Myriad Gold Pavilion and twelve Elders issued a declaration.
They declared irreconcilable differences with Meng Yu; their great army would depart next, with Divinity Transformation, Nascent Soul, and Golden Core forces all in motion. Massive warships were preheating, ready to turn the Blood God Sect into ruins.
The Myriad Gold Pavilion sincerely invited the Ten Directions Demon Subduing Hall and other forces to join in the campaign to hunt down the demonic heretics and declared to the northwest powers that anyone who followed Meng Yu in wrongdoings would be dealt with at the same time.
"The Myriad Gold Pavilion has already promised to send at least three Nascent Souls and more Golden Cores using the Teleportation Portal and others within three months, and the main army will arrive within a year to fight to the death against the Blood God Sect," said someone in the Ascension List.
In the Ascension List, the Myriad Gold Pavilion offered Mu Venerable the conditions he had dreamt of.
"But... Grandfather, what will we do after the Myriad Gold Pavilion arrives?"
The Eldest Princess asked in such a manner.
Meng Yu was a jackal while the Myriad Gold Pavilion was a tiger; if the tiger defeated the jackal, it too would seek meat.
"They promise not to seize the foundations of the Eternal Night Palace. We will take the spoils of war from the Seven Great Sects. The Pavilion Master himself guarantees that in the face of a great enemy, sincere cooperation is the right approach. Please believe in the sincerity and wisdom of the Myriad Gold Pavilion. Their grand army will not enter our mountain gate, and the initial reinforcements will depart before the main army arrives," Mu Venerable explained to her.
In the meeting room on the Ascension List, the high-ranking members of the Myriad Gold Pavilion were discussing with the Eternal Night Palace, offering authoritative promises.
This time, Meng Yu had fiercely slapped the face of the Myriad Gold Pavilion in front of the whole world; thus, the Myriad Gold Pavilion was mobilizing. They were not the fools who discussed how to divide the spoils before winning but were very clear on how important having an allied army was.
In the Ascension List, everyone listened to Myriad Gold Pavilion's various promises while inside the Eternal Night Palace, thinking about Meng Yu's harsh conditions.
The former was a fight to the death with over a ninety percent chance of victory because the Myriad Gold Pavilion stated they would go all out, using a cleaver to kill a chicken. The only danger was if the Myriad Gold Pavilion broke their promise, but they said they could have the Four Great Sects as guarantors.
The latter meant that after surrendering, life and death would be at the mercy of others, and breaking promises could be easily excused.

Mu Venerable took a deep breath.
He had a premonition that Meng Yu's promises were real, but he did not want to surrender!
