Becoming evil makes you ten times stronger, but becoming a demon gives you hundredfold strength

Yuan Ziyu was like a flower in a greenhouse. Before Meng Yu, she had never felt such intense hatred or love for anyone, but when her cultivation was sealed, and she found herself in a cage, she couldn't help but hypnotize herself relentlessly, telling herself that Meng Yu wasn't wrong. The ones at fault were the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, the ones who took action against her, and also, she must respect Meng Yu, she must forget the hatred, she must...

Otherwise, she would die.

Then, she walked through the door and, without any warning, saw someone with a rather helpless expression.

In the past, he had negotiated helplessly with people from the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, bargained helplessly with the Myriad Gold Pavilion, helplessly killed everyone, and now he still smiled helplessly, dealing helplessly with those people, saying that Ding Yijun was just going home for a visit and asking them not to worry, the debt would definitely be repaid.

She shuddered with fear.

...

Meng Yu was not in a good mood.

Meng Yu didn't want to make a scene, and he felt that he was a very kind person, especially when he had only one Golden Core Cultivator with him and was on someone else's turf.

Although he had a trump card as assurance, there was still no need to cause trouble directly.

So when the other party smashed some items on the counter, he wasn't angry at all. After all, they were Ding Yijun's belongings, and someone would compensate with their lives later on, like this group of people, none of them would escape.

Or if they made too much of a fuss, Meng Yu was prepared to learn from Dong Tianbao or Zhang Sanfeng, close the door, kill them off, and then just leave.

But when Yuan Ziyu came in, Meng Yu felt a bit helpless.

In life, there are many times when one feels helpless, like wanting to lock up a beautiful girl in a basement but being unable to, like Meng Yu, who really didn't want to release her. But as someone reasonable and trustworthy, he still let her go. Now, though, she seemed to maintain a bit of smugness.

For instance, she didn't immediately demonstrate the oppressive aura of a Golden Core to scare away those scoundrels as she entered, then prostrate herself on the ground to report her tardiness to the Alliance Hierarch of the Western Wastes, Boss Meng Yu.

"Everyone, stop making a fuss. You've vented your anger, what more do you want? Ding Yijun owes money, right? I'll find someone to cover for now, okay?"

Meng Yu thought for a moment and then beckoned Yuan Ziyu with his finger, "Miss, could you lend a thousand Spirit Stones?"

A thousand Spirit Stones was a huge sum for a Loose Cultivator; of course, Meng Yu wouldn't take Spirit Stones from his own pocket, as that would trigger everyone's greed. But Yuan Ziyu was different. She was a Golden Core and had better ways of dealing with the situation.

Yuan Ziyu's lips twitched as she took out three Medium-grade Spirit Stones from her Storage Bag and placed them on the table.

She didn't make any further moves, as she was very afraid of Meng Yu.

Wang Yingjie picked up the three Medium-grade Spirit Stones, nodded in satisfaction, and didn't expect to encounter such a fool. Three Medium-grade Spirit Stones were worth more than the entire shop. As for Meng Yu and this woman, naturally, he wouldn't let them off either.

If they dared not to resist, then he would squeeze them dry.

"A thousand Spirit Stones is just the principal. What about the interest? She's owed me money for five years, so the interest should be two thousand Spirit Stones..."

He said with a cold laugh but realized that the beautiful woman suddenly laughed, looking embarrassed as she covered her mouth.

Surprised, he watched her, becoming more cautious.

"You continue, you continue, I just find it amusing," she said.

Suddenly, all the anger and pain left Yuan Ziyu, watching Meng Yu with an expression as if he had eaten shit, she found it exceedingly funny.

Just like back in the day, when a group of people broke into the Great Formation of the Moon-Watching Sect, only to find three hundred Golden Core Cultivators waiting for them on the other side. She would never forget the feeling of that moment.

Although she knew she shouldn't laugh, she couldn't help it, and tears streamed down her face.

Keep pretending, she thought.

Wang Yingjie sensed something was off and wanted to say something but then heard a sinister voice from outside.

"Yingjie, don't you recognize her? She is the famous Female Swordsman of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, the True Sage of Yu, the Purple-robed Sword Immortal," said the voice.

The voice was elusive, but the person already stood at the doorway, his figure slightly blurred, like a shadow.

As the shadow spoke, his gaze was fixed on Meng Yu.@@novelbin@@

By now, even a pig could tell something was wrong with Meng Yu.

"Everyone, I just want to do business, and I'm merely passing through here. Can you discuss your grievances somewhere else?"

Meng Yu suddenly felt a headache coming on.

What would it be like for a significant figure like Bai Long to appear on someone else's territory?

Most importantly, these people didn't know he was immortal and could escape at any moment!

Although he had a trump card...

"Who is he?" Meng Yu's gaze fell on Yuan Ziyu.

"My lord, I'm sorry, really sorry. I didn't know you were here, but he followed me when I came in, and I couldn't shake him off.

His name is Gong Yanguang, a cultivator from the Eternal Night Palace in the Western Extremes. His fighting ability is average, but he's difficult to deal with. You may defeat him, but it's hard to kill him. He has been following me, and the best way to eliminate him is to use the Pure Yang technique. I really didn't mean to intentionally bring trouble to the young master."

Yuan Ziyu's voice had a grit to it; this person had followed her for several days.

"Eh?"

Gong Yanguang was taken aback by Yuan Ziyu's words. Her firm belief that this young man could easily kill him was very clear from her speech.

However, from beginning to end, this young person in front of him only had Foundation Establishment cultivation—Golden Core's pressure is just one aspect, from skin, temperament, hair, etc., there's a huge difference between Golden Cores and ordinary experts.

He hesitated for a moment, and when he wanted to say something, another Golden Core aura came over.

"This young brother, we are the third shopkeeper, Giant Elephant True Sage. Has the one who fell into trouble here been with you?"

There appeared a very amiable middle-aged man at the entrance of the grocery store.

Since this morning, Myriad Gold Pavilion had been keeping an eye on this grocery store. Then they saw Yuan Ziyu enter the shop and how she spoke in a low voice to this young man—Meng Yu felt that her attitude wasn't very good, but to outsiders, it looked like a cat acting coquettishly toward its owner.

The proud and haughty Yuan Ziyu, True Sage of the Sect, showed an extraordinary level of deference to this young man.

Thus, the people from Myriad Gold Pavilion also arrived.

When cultivators commit crimes, if you don't catch them on the spot, they might have fled thousands of miles by the next day.

Meng Yu helplessly covered his face.

Karma, karma!

When he previously captured nine Golden Core females from the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, sealed their cultivation, and confined them in the dungeon, they became Meng Yu's personal property.

When Meng Yu was in a bad mood, he would go down and bully them... Of course, it wasn't about putting them in eighteen kinds of positions. Meng Yu just liked to watch those fallen noblewomen and Golden Cores perform in a state of disarray, humiliation, and fawning.

After all, the aura of three hundred Golden Cores from the Immortal Sect was too strong!

They could be swords in Meng Yu's hands or the Mount Wuzhi suppressing him. Despite their gentle and attentive day-to-day appearances, laughing and chatting, once home, they were planetary lords, rulers of their domains, each with noble identities. Whenever Meng Yu interacted with them, he felt somewhat restrained, and was even bullied by these foxes.

So, Meng Yu remembered a little trick from Azure Star, if you want to interact with important people on equal footing, just imagine them in disgrace. So sometimes Meng Yu would go to see them to release negative energy, absorb positive energy, and remind himself of the consequences if he were to lose and fall into the hands of the Immortal Sect!

Among them, Yuan Ziyu performed the best. She was a noblewoman from the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, similar to Ouyang Zhenxue from the Immortal Sect, with exceptional talent and smooth sailing growth, having never faced real hardship. She was much better in nature, treating people with warmth and generosity, and mixed well with the disciples on regular days. But it was this very trait that made her cherish her life, showing weakness when disaster struck.

Your next journey awaits at My Virtual Library Empire

But outsiders didn't know of her experiences; they only knew that the proud and haughty True Jade Sage, the Purple-robed Swordsman, who rejected countless pursuers, was nodding and bowing to this young Foundation Establishment cultivator and even took the initiative to help pay.

This was indeed worth pondering.

"Giant Elephant True Sage? Someone rushed into the shop yesterday, something about a False Core, and then I killed him. I burned the body to ashes and scattered them."

Meng Yu looked at Yuan Ziyu and then at the surrounding Golden Core cultivators, shaking his head.

In less than three days of arriving, the Bai Long Fish Outfit had turned into a scene of a crackdown. Hua Miaochai even gave a friendly tip that several Golden Cores were watching closely.

Is it wrong for me to want to travel alone?

How can you people have such sensitive noses?

This Yuan Ziyu is clearly jinxed; I must never follow her lead!

Meng Yu sighed, pondering if he could bluff his way through.

In the Cultivation World, cases are not about evidence; they take you away directly if they sense something's off. Even if he now drove Yuan Ziyu out the door, those people wouldn't let him off.

Before leaving, what guarantee did he give the Immortal Sect, to the Moon-Watching Sect?

"Don't worry, I'm a very cautious person. Safety first when traveling; you needn't worry about me causing trouble. How could such a low-profile man like me run into trouble?

Rest assured, the Immortal Sect's number one cannons' king, ah no, the runaway king, if I, Meng Yu, even go to the Central Plains, I would still live peacefully, without showing off or swaggering. I'm just gathering information. Even after my journey, no one would know I was here.

But now...

Looking at the two Golden Cores at the door and at Yuan Ziyu, and feeling the pressure of the Great Formation in Sleepless City, Meng Yu sighed.

With a flick of a finger in the air, Hua Miaochai's Formation, readied in advance, was activated.

The two Golden Cores at the entrance, well-prepared, teleported dozens of meters away in the moment the Spiritual Energy fluctuated.

Ripples from the activated Formation appeared, and the underlings trapped in the grocery store panicked.

Only Wang Yingjie, the Golden Core cultivator, took the opportunity to leave with him.

"Moon-Watching Sect Leader Meng Yu is here."

The voice spread like ripples through the water, and the entire Sleepless City heard the declaration.

The grass pancake flag hanging outside, ah no, the Moon-Watching Sect's Moon Worship Banner, fluttered in the wind.
