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

In three days, successive delegations visited Meng Yu who chatted with everyone, appearing calm and collected as if merely troubled by an unforeseen stop on his journey.

The tea set used by former True God Transforming Masters indeed played its role well; the superior-quality tea leaves earned praise. Yet what was more astonishing was Meng Yu's unwavering confidence—a mere Foundation Establishment carrying just a Golden Core Master dares to travel the world and enter foreign territories, yet instead of fleeing promptly, he stands his ground resolutely.

By the last moment of the third day, an envoy from the Eternal Night Palace arrived outside the Great Formation and loudly announced their response to Meng Yu.

Welcome to stay as a guest at the Eternal Night Palace.

That was the brief message, not mentioning Wang Yingjie or any other complicated matters—an encounter steeped in politeness and decorum.

Then, Meng Yu nodded, stored various items in his Storage Bag, but left the ten Magic Artifacts and Puppet unchanged, maintaining their operational mode, before whisking Hua Miaochai back to the Immortal Sect.

Business as usual, he stayed peacefully for a month and then checked the internet, reviewing the sector's internal data, public opinion analysis, and messages left by Bai Qianqian and Zhuge Caihua.

During these days, the interior situation of the Immortal Sect was generally fine, although there were some dissenting voices wondering why they couldn't have what others do, or even why a mere Divine Beast descendant could go while they couldn't. Despite those comments, overall, most Foundation Establishment and Golden Core Cultivators remained emotionally stable, supporting Meng Yu as the true backbone of the Immortal Sect, eagerly anticipating better opportunities.

That was good news.

After disconnecting from the internet, Meng Yu reminisced about the recent events.

Meng Yu had faced stiff resistance; in fact, the attitude of the Eternal Night Palace was quite uncompromising. They declared that Wang Yingjie's wrongdoing was their internal issue to handle and questioned how Meng Yu would compensate for the disciples of the Eternal Night Palace he had killed.

Their representatives spread the word in the city that if it weren't for the sake of Meng Yu's elder's face, they would have given Meng Yu a harsher treatment.

Well, what could Meng Yu do?

All he could do was return to the Immortal Sect, face burning with embarrassment.

Zhuge Caihua and Bai Qianqian were at the Supreme Star. After Meng Yu had cleared the accounts and eloped with both Master Lihua and Fairy Taohua, the Immortal Sect guarded against him more cautiously.

He sent a video call request to Zhuge Caihua.

"Ah Yu, are you alright?"

Upon seeing Meng Yu, Zhuge Caihua immediately relaxed.

Meng Yu did not speak. He helplessly looked at Zhuge Caihua and finally admitted, "You're right in asking that."

He was alright.@@novelbin@@

Previously, he had told Zhuge Caihua about his plans to travel to the Central Plains, then listened patiently as she blinked, tilted her head, and listened to Meng Yu explain his myriad methods of masquerading and ensuring his safety. After he had exhausted his saliva explaining, she had simply asked one question.

"Ah Yu, have you ever considered that your physique might be the problem?"

Ah, my luck has always been great; as soon as I crossed over, I killed my uncle, then my whole family, ended up in prison, went on a killing spree in the Martial Arts Miniature World, faced continuous suppression despite being a favored son of heaven, and was then targeted by Hall Master Zhao. Afterwards, I cut down everyone in the Immortal Sect, and then subjected myself to relentless Divine Thunders. Arriving in the Western Wastes, the Sky-splitting Sword Sect even sent fifty Golden Cores to attack me!

This world has been too gentle with me, and I've been gentle in return. As for luck, well, I suppose I've been quite fortunate, considering I'm still alive. I'm really, really grateful to everyone.

Zhuge Caihua's honest words saddened Meng Yu, history had shown that he encountered no issues while staying at home, but trouble always ensued when he went out. Nevertheless, Meng Yu remained steadfast in venturing out.

"I'm fine, just encountered a little issue over there."

Meng Yu shared with Zhuge Caihua everything he had experienced in Sleepless City.

The girl laughed—a laugh filled with helplessness, sympathy, and envy. That expression lasted until the next day at the joint session meeting.

A joint conference attended by a throng of Golden Core and Nascent Soul Cultivators.

"This has nothing to do with luck, does it?"

Facing everyone's knowing smiles, Meng Yu's frustration was palpable, and he stuttered through an explanation on the four ways to write the Mandarin character for "hui", creating a jolly atmosphere at the meeting.

"I encountered some trouble in the Central Plains; I came to consult everyone for advice on how to handle it. This time my opponent is the Eternal Night Palace in the Western Extremes. Does the Immortal Sect have any thoughts?"

Having spent a month in the Immortal Sect, Meng Yu had calmed down, but regardless, he still wanted to hear what the Immortal Sect thought.

The Immortal Sect was kind internally and loved peace externally, having refrained from major conflicts for thousands of years, proudly advocating that peace is precious to the entire universe.

The fictitious Demon Sect; internally cutthroat, with each member harboring their own agendas, acting out of self-interest, and falling apart at the slightest setback.

The true Demon Sect; internally united and affectionate, committed as a collective, advancing bravely despite setbacks, relentlessly persevering.

Ten thousand years ago, the name of the Immortal Sect was the Demon Sect, a few thousand years ago it was the Heavenly Demon Sect, and now, outside its domain, it is universally known as the Great Heavenly Demon Sect.

Or it could simply be called the Demon Gate, which makes the orthodox sects like the Blood God Sect and Guanghan Palace shudder with dread.

"Of course, we should eliminate them!" Read the latest on My Virtual Library Empire

A voice clearly expressed the intention, Meng Yu noticed that the ever-elegant Bamboo Fairy gracefully nodded, as if the voice did not come from her.

"Right, eliminate them!"

Then, another voice spoke up, that of the Tea Fairy, who also appeared as though it was only right and was firmly in support of Meng Yu.

"What's the point of negotiations when this Eternal Night Palace is full of unlawful acts, and their cultivation technique isn't legitimate? Such an evil organization should be completely eradicated."

The third Nascent Soul Master, Lotus Fairy, said very sincerely.

Then, the Golden Core and Nascent Soul Masters at the scene spoke up one after another, and everyone's opinion was clear, which was to take action.

Suddenly, Meng Yu felt that whether it was the conservative faction or the radical faction of the Immortal Sect, something was off.

The radical faction thought that these people should be killed, while the conservative faction thought you all are too conservative!

Last time, three hundred Golden Core Cultivators went to battle for a year, and the gains that those people came back with made even the Nascent Souls envious, not to mention so many superior spirit stones!

At that time, everyone in the Immortal Sect was crazy, their eyes all red.

How many divine artifacts were languishing, how many cultivators were stuck unable to break through, divine beasts one by one were starving, but with oil, ah no, with superior spirit stones there was hope!

A batch of spirit stones seized by the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, even though Meng Yu took half of it, made everyone's life much more comfortable, then what about other sects?

At that time, many people were persuading Meng Yu to quickly attack other sects, but unfortunately, he refused.

Everyone also knew Meng Yu had reservations, the ruthless character that was, because of special circumstances, opening permissions for everyone, so this time when he returned, everyone must persuade him properly.

"My idea is to find a way to intimidate the Eternal Night Palace, maybe with a tier-four Divine Artifact?"

Meng Yu was a peace-loving person, at least verbally peace-loving.

"What if they don't yield?"

"Three hundred Golden Cores is too large a scale, attacking the Eternal Night Palace is a bit of a stretch, the other side has three Nascent Souls and dozens of Golden Cores, if necessary, seek helpers; by then, hundreds of Golden Cores and tens of thousands of Foundation Establishments swarming in, three hundred Golden Cores would not be enough."

"The denser the grass, the easier it is to cut!"

"Even if we transfer more people in batches, we still can't hold the Eternal Night Palace. That place is in the Central Plains, where numerous mysterious forces abound, many of whom are spying on their origins; eventually, someone will play dirty tricks like capturing our Nascent Souls, and with strange and varied methods of soul interrogation, once the secrets of the Immortal Sect are leaked, forces will go all out against me, bad for me now and for the future. Once I run into trouble, everything will become illusory, like a reflection in the Water Moon Mirror."

"Hmm, we understand this situation and can discuss it at length, and if not, then first head to Nascent Soul to take a look."

"The Central Plains are vast, the Eternal Night Palace is just a minor sect; I was humiliated by them, but I don't mind. Worse comes to worst, I'll just leave; no one will speak ill of me. A mere Foundation Establishment daring to enter their territory, then being able to leave safely, would only be praised by others."

Everyone was talking, sharing their hand of cards with each other.

In short, Meng Yu intended to travel the Central Plains, then scare the Eternal Night Palace a bit to make them suffer or feel pain. Of course, if the Immortal Sect's plans were inappropriate, he wouldn't mind swallowing his pride and continuing towards other areas.

The various divisions of the Immortal Sect were actively pushing their own schemes, such as the three Nascent Souls of the Wood Element, who expressed their desire to go have a look, claiming they could teach the Eternal Night Palace a good lesson on behalf of Meng Yu, and so forth.

While other divisions also recommended their schemes, whether it be divine artifacts, divine beasts, Nascent Souls, etc., everyone unanimously opposed the previous plan of three hundred Golden Cores, indicating that this time they needed the most elite personnel and so on, but Meng Yu didn't like this approach.

As for Nascent Souls or divine artifacts and divine beasts, Meng Yu did not trust their character, instead, he preferred the previous plan of three hundred Golden Cores. Regarding the fact that Eternal Night Palace had three Nascent Souls and so forth, Meng Yu could send three hundred Golden Cores in batches and then add a tier-four formation diagram, but this plan would definitely lead to deaths.

Of course, the best plan was for Golden Cores and Nascent Souls to go together, but then, the distribution of tasks would be difficult, and besides, Meng Yu was more inclined to support the Golden Cores. You help them, they might remember you, but Nascent Souls, well... heh.

"I'll go help."

Suddenly, a familiar voice came through.

"Ah, Mirror Twelve Senior!"

"How did it sneak in here?"

"Isn't it about to be executed?"
