Becoming evil makes you ten times stronger, but becoming a demon gives you hundredfold strength
Chapter 336 Unsheathing (Part 1)_2
He even felt that the setup was too wasteful.
Now, Master Jin and his group were laying siege to Cao Defang's cave mansion, which at the core, was coveting the cultivation technique of the Blood Transmutation Divine Saber.
This matter was almost a certainty, only it was unknown how the technique of the Blood Transmutation Divine Saber would be distributed.
Smiling, he sipped his spiritual tea, oblivious to the fact that a group of people had already assembled outside.
...
Sleepless City, not far from the Eye of Array.
"The Hexagram Star Formation has to be broken simultaneously!"
The one speaking was Master Lihua, who along with one hundred and eighty Golden Core cultivators, had been spread out in other areas of Sleepless City. Today was the day to take action.
"Can we breach, with twenty people attacking each Eye of Array, at the fastest speed?"
Five Golden Core cultivators laid out the Great Five Elements Formation, leading a legion of two to three thousand cultivators, capable of withstanding Nascent Soul cultivators.
Ten Golden Core cultivators working in concert could not only show their superiority over Nascent Soul cultivators but also decide life and death.
And twenty Golden Core cultivators banding together to attack a small Eye of Array with only one Golden Core cultivator stationed?
Could they swiftly take it down?
At the same time, the remaining dozens of Golden Core practitioners would simultaneously strike the city's spiritual energy hubs and fountainhead within the Eye of Array, ensuring control of the entire city at the moment they took action.
Right, there were also the four hundred people in Meng Yu's cave mansion, a part of them ready to suppress everything at the same time everyone else moved into action.
Mount Tai crushing an egg, nothing could be more fitting, as the Divinity Transformation Mirror twelve awaited outside, looking for the opportunity to take down the opponent's Nascent Soul.
...
In Meng Yu's cave mansion.
Qin Ningxue, gripping a longsword, stood shoulder to shoulder with the kitchen maid behind Meng Yu, ready to fight to the death.
They no longer cared about life and death. The day before yesterday, after Meng Yu had saved everyone, they were bound by loyalty as deep as that of offering one's life at the Gold platform, resolved to die in his honor.
Meng Yu acknowledged with an air that said "This is the attitude I need from you—ready to die but unwilling, determined to drag a few others down with you. Please maintain it."
They felt odd, yet couldn't pinpoint what was wrong.
Outside the Eternal Night Palace now were seven Golden Core cultivators. Could Meng Yu win?
And Master Jin was watching too.
Everyone knew that aside from Qin Ningxue and the kitchen maid, Meng Yu's cave mansion housed thirty-one sick and weak individuals and one Golden Core Expert.
Many speculated that among those thirty-one, several should be at Foundation Establishment, and some even more radically guessed there might be one or two additional Golden Core cultivators.
The legacy of the Blood Transmutation Divine Saber was worth such protection.
Watching the two girls embrace their readiness for death, Master Jin coldly sneered as he observed Meng Yu's roaring and the opening of the cave mansion's doors, certain of his victory.
Meng Yu stepped out, flew into the sky, and then, one after another, the apparently weak and sick followed suit.
"Eh, all at Foundation Establishment?"
It was normal for Qi Refinement Practitioners to fly, but it shouldn't be so smooth and effortless and without any traces of human touch.
Thirty-one at Foundation Establishment, this was starting to complicate matters.
But in the next instant, his eyes opened as wide as they could.
An intangible aura rose from these people, a daunting deterrence that made one tremble, and above the heads of these true Golden Core Masters, celestial phenomena unfolded. This wasn't just one or two, but all thirty-one of them!
They, they were all Golden Core!
...
At the same time.
In the Ascension List.
Meng Yu woke up early today, after all, outside the Great Formation there had already gathered quite a crowd, many were there just for the spectacle, but there was also a large group of Golden Core Cultivators from the Taiyi Sect.
A street thug wielding a knife and slashing his way across three streets, then rising through the ranks to establish his own organization and become the boss, inspired countless other thugs to dream of such success.
But when he took up the cleaver, what he met with were the looks of idiots from the merchants and the guns of the police officers.
And yesterday, after Meng Yu had loudly declared that he wanted to bloodily purge the Ascension List, slaughter the Four Great Sects, sweep through everything, party with Nascent Soul corpses, and so on, today he was confronted by the onlooking crowd from the Taiyi Sect.
Oh dear, you're right, we, seventy-four of us, couldn't beat you yesterday, so here we are today, another seventy-four. But looking at their momentum, Meng Yu suspected that the Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment among them had all turned into Golden Cores, he even wondered if those old silver coins would throw in a couple of Nascent Soul Cultivators!
Police officers never bother with one-on-one when dealing with evil-doers, so why the hell should the Taiyi Sect let you trample over me again and again to climb the ranks?
After all, if it were Meng Yu himself, he would definitely do the same: to win is to have face, even if it's by swarming the enemy, you still have face.
"Cao Defang, in yesterday's battle, you resorted to despicable tactics, plotting against us and taking advantage of our mercy, now, let us fight anew!"
The speaker was still the Golden Core that Meng Yu had killed yesterday, who had come forcefully to seek justice.
The prestige of the righteous sects was never something to be gained by being kind and reasoning with people—only the weak argue with others all day long. After being slapped in the face, the righteous sects would surely make a tenfold return!
Especially on the Ascension List, in this world where people don't die, over the many years, how many villainous deeds had amused people, teaching the Taiyi Sect that at times like this, they must take down the infamous red-named monsters.
Now, a large group of people was waiting for Meng Yu's decision.
Meng Yu's face turned pale.
Helpless and alone, Meng Yu looked at the large group of Golden Core Cultivators in front of him, then turned his head to look at the leisurely tea-drinking big shots of the Demon Gate.
"Seeking help, reinforcements, alliances, strong backers!"
He looked at Bai Hu and the others, at the white-haired youth and the eerie middle-aged man, and then, they all smiled and raised their teacups.
Young man, face the harsh reality with courage.
As a demon cultist, being pursued is very, very normal, moreover, you won't die here.
Indeed, today the Taiyi Sect brought out seventy-four Golden Cores, which was truly a show of strength, telling everyone, we can pull together this much power at any moment!
One punch leads to a hundred!
"Elders."
Meng Yu had never been so polite, even somewhat pleadingly humble.
"I am being besieged in Sleepless City, and today Eternal Night Palace plans to ransack my home, dispatching over thirty Golden Cores to surround one poor Foundation Establishment Cultivator like me. Don't you have principles on your side, no reasoning? People violently attack me offline, and online too, what wrong have I done?"
Meng Yu even waved his hand, and clouds appeared in the high sky above the summer garden.
Scenes from the Ascension List could be projected into reality using the Water Mirror Technique, but the things in reality couldn't be seen in the Ascension List. However, that was no problem for Meng Yu; without the Water Mirror Technique, he could use the Cloud Map.
Meng Yu, munching on melon seeds in Sleepless City, looked at the scene before him and then manifested what he saw in his mind with his Divine Sense, expressing it in the form of clouds.
Although the character models leaned towards cartoony and lacked detail, the cultivators had differently colored symbols above their heads indicating their combat strength, but still, it was clear to see Meng Yu's predicament in the center of Sleepless City.
A group of people beat him up over here, another big group beat him over there!
"Ah, how did you end up like this?"
Even Bai Hu suddenly felt some sympathy for Cao Defang.
He had been sneak attacked by him just yesterday, but honestly speaking, the guy still had some backbone.
"Alas, the white dog steals food, the black dog takes the blame. I, a good person, am mistakenly identified as someone else and now they want to kill me, so, what should I do?"
Meng Yu looked at the Golden Cores of the Taiyi Sect, almost wagging his tail in a pitiable gesture, indicating if they could spare him the trouble today?
Everyone's gazes drifted towards the Nascent Soul Cultivators from Eternal Night Palace in the distance, seeking to understand what had exactly happened.
Then, the Nascent Soul Cultivator from Eternal Night Palace nodded slightly, confirming the situation was indeed as Cao Defang had said.
"You see, I have to fight a bloody battle offline, and online as well against you all. I'm just a poor Foundation Establishment Cultivator, multitasking, how could I win?
My friend, that's not fair at all!"
Meng Yu cried out with all his might!
