Becoming evil makes you ten times stronger, but becoming a demon gives you hundredfold strength-Chapter 526 - 385: Fight Fire with Fire, Fight Poison with Poison_2

"Xiao Han."

Lan Qiong looked at the Eldest Princess of the Eternal Night Palace and sighed.

After the Eldest Princess had taken the Storage Bag back with her, she fell into deep thought.

The deeds of Meng Yu had surpassed her expectations time after time, like how these supplies had genuinely ended up in her hands this time. Even if Meng Yu were to go back on his word later, it would mean a permanent loss of a batch of supplies.

She thought of certain rumors: Meng Yu was very generous; during his time with the Moon-Watching Sect, he freely supplied vast quantities of Spirit Rice and Spiritual Wine. And the trade with the Mysterious Heaven Sect was a grand gesture of generosity—30 million stones of Spirit Rice provided directly without hesitation.

The man did not care about the loss of assets; to him, it was but a trifle.

Especially when she asked Lan Qiong, Lan Qiong confirmed, "You're thinking correctly."

"Ah Yu told me that after this matter is settled, he would give me a sum of resources."

After Lan Qiong succumbed to Meng Yu, she acted with boundless affection and was downright subservient. Then she received a promise from him: "Thank you for your service. I will arrange a good future for you. After I return to the Western Wastes, whether you stay in Sleepless City as a wealthy woman or go somewhere else is up to you. You could also use the Teleportation Portal to visit me in the Western Wastes if you wish, or take Spirit Stones and head to other places—everyone will surely arrange things for you."

Lan Qiong could feel the authenticity of Meng Yu's promise but also sorrowfully realized she had no allure.

"Don't you know that Meng Yu doesn't care about the foundation of the Eternal Night Palace at all?"

Although she had only found out yesterday, Lan Qiong still felt it was quite strange.

"After this is over, he will return to the Western Wastes. With three hundred years in the Golden Core stage, he does not need to spend his energy and time on an experienced Sect. He will live well in the Western Wastes, and the Eternal Night Palace will just be a punishment. In time, a new force will take over, perhaps even True Monarch Shui Yue, someone he has good relations with."

"Ah?"

"Why would I deceive you? Xiao Han, no matter what, I am still a person of the Eternal Night Palace. I remember the kindness of my Sect very clearly. So, I have a plan..."

Lan Qiong whispered, "Do you know True Monarch Shui Yue? You could contact her. Right now, she is the best buyer. If she could acquire the Eternal Night Palace, then have you thought about moving the Eternal Night Palace to Cool Breeze Mountain?

Even though it's smaller and the various facilities are subpar, it's still the base of a major Sect. If we can secure it, we won't have to live a nomadic life anymore."

"Is this possible?"

"I don't understand what you all are thinking. He's not a poor lad; he is genuinely the child of Divinity Transformation, and he is much wealthier than the Eternal Night Palace.

Ah Yu doesn't want to owe too much favor. He doesn't think it's worth it for those Golden Core cultivators who died fighting to help him, so he uses money to send you away. Why not seize such a good opportunity?"

Lan Qiong said so.

...

After many days, Meng Yu once again ascended the Ascension List.

When he attained his Golden Core, he put up a notice outside the small town to thank the netizens for their help: "I have made it to shore. If you come to see me, you can watch Sword Technique and Swordsmanship without any risk of being killed. I will engrave two more Steles for everyone to copy, and also provide the Blood Transmutation Divine Saber Technique for those interested to study."

Now, he had changed into the plain attire of a cultivator and flew toward the Myriad Gold Pavilion's city location.

If you lose, you harbor resentment; if you win, you counter and reckon. From the Western Wastes to the northwest, Myriad Gold Pavilion had repeatedly set traps for Meng Yu. Now, it was time to settle the score.

Especially now, the harsher he hit Myriad Gold Pavilion, the less dare they meddle.

The Ascension List covered an enormous area, opening every few decades. Small Sects usually build their city structures after it opens, but the super-large Sects often keep their territories intact.

Although the Ascension List is part of the virtual world, it has intelligent creatures. For example, the Myriad Gold Pavilion collaborated with certain native forces within the Ascension List. After they logged off, those forces would work with their remaining people to build; once they logged on again, the native forces would naturally receive rewards. Even if those who stayed behind had died, their offspring and descendants would still be treated well.

There were many interesting things in between, which made Meng Yu greatly admire the prowess of the old Immortal Sect. This Divine Artifact could even be considered a world on its own, with creatures that possess intelligence and life. The difference between them and Meng Yu and other Extraterritorial Demons was that if they died, they truly died and could not be resurrected.

Meng Yu flew swiftly, using a day to pass through several Teleportation Portals, and finally arrived at the city of Myriad Gold Pavilion.

The Four Great Sects were in the midst of competition, with countless cultivators displaying their elegance on various arenas, while Myriad Gold Pavilion provided various services.

In the virtual world, you can also make money.

Everyone starts with nothing when they log on, so when you enter a competition, don't you need a good weapon, and wouldn't it be better to have spiritual patterns on it? We have all sorts of magical treasures and protective armor here, don't you want them?

In reality, you pay with spirit stones, and we'll top up your account online. Just look at how much money Azure Star online games make in a year, and you'll realize that the world of the Ascension List is brimming with opportunities.

Cultivators come and go, and there are quite a few natives from the Ascension List as well. Meng Yu had interactions with the natives before. They told Meng Yu that although there are many bad seeds among you, we thank you for coming.

The cultivators are like a typhoon, suddenly appearing in this world, bringing countless disasters, but also a lot of good things.

On the city walls, a row of bloody heads hung.

"What happened here?"

Meng Yu casually grabbed a passing native and asked.

Distinguishing between natives and real people is simple, just look at the back of their hands and wrists. Cultivators who enter here have marks of different colors on theirs, while natives do not.

"Greetings, Golden Core Master."

The captured native saw the golden mark on Meng Yu's wrist. Although these people don't understand how powerful a Golden Core is in the outside world, they know that such a person is not to be trifled with.

Their lives are but one, and if they die, they cannot be brought back to life.

"Talk, what happened."

Meng Yu casually tossed a spirit stone to the native, a young man in his twenties, with a cultivation level... only at the second level of Qi Cultivation.

"They tried to rob Myriad Commerce."

The native youth, named He Lianji, had a forceful name, but spoke without any carelessness: "You immortals have the divine skills of resurrection, so some immortals like to play some human world games."

Alright, Meng Yu understood. It was just that these people had a grudge against Myriad Gold Pavilion and came to cause destruction, but they just didn't succeed.

"Do things like this happen often?"

"Quite a bit. Many people have been eliminated, so they try their luck with a robbery. It doesn't matter if they don't succeed, at most their heads end up chopped off and hung on the city gates."

The young man said respectfully, for a spirit stone was a valuable item, enough to equal a year's worth of his hard-earned income!

"Mm-hmm."

Meng Yu didn't say anything, as if waiting for something.

"Myriad Gold Pavilion, you will not die a good death!"

Someone shouted loudly, flying over the heads of Meng Yu and the others, scattering flyers like snowflakes. The native youth quickly picked up a few and presented them to Meng Yu.

"Ah?"

Meng Yu glanced at the flyer, blinking his eyes.

The message on the flyer was explosive, detailing the scandals of Myriad Gold Pavilion.

Myriad Gold Pavilion lured his female juniors, his female senior, and his female peers to sell themselves for the favors of some, in exchange for secret manuals and magical treasures. It stated that Myriad Gold Pavilion shamelessly carried on with such dealings often, and they even insinuated that many fairy-like talents had gone through such transactions in the past, winning big competitions with their help, joining other sects and soaring high, becoming true winners.

"So vicious."

Meng Yu looked at the flyer, the corners of his mouth in a smile that was not quite a smile.

Truly inhumane.
