Becoming evil makes you ten times stronger, but becoming a demon gives you hundredfold strength-Chapter 430 341: Spring Breeze and Gentle Rain, Hardest to Guard Against_2

Immortal Sect had never given up on returning to the Old Immortal Gate, and these regulations were indeed civilized.

Meng Yu restfully entrusted everything to them, enjoying the tender warmth of the beauties' company.

This was also a display of power.

Thus, the citizens of Sleepless City saw a Saint for the first time.

When the enforcers had no personal biases, accepted no bribes, coveted neither women nor men, enforced the law impartially, and publicly, transparently, while also offering generous compensation to their subordinates and cooperating in everyday law enforcement without engaging in checks and balances, digging pits, or shirking responsibilities, the citizens of Sleepless City felt that this was simply heaven on Earth!

The Golden Cores were not merely flaunting their power or acting superior; they personally got involved in helping fix roads, save people, aid the destitute, treat illnesses, and engage in casual household conversations, letting everyone see the pure light.

Many people had never seen a smiling Golden Core in their entire lives, let alone a Golden Core willing to help ordinary people and common cultivators.

All they knew was, when a Golden Core arrived, you had to quickly kneel down, offer gold, silver, jewels, wives, and Spirit Stones!

Then, Meng Yu arrived with a group of Golden Cores, living a tranquil and simple life—which to everyone in Sleepless City, made Sect Master Meng seem utterly pure and free of desire. What mattered the affairs with two maids?

Even if he indulged in the pleasures of wine and meat banquets at the City Lord Mansion, everyone still praised him for his charming elegance!

Meng Yu leisurely, hands-off ten days, reassured the entirety of Sleepless City greatly.

Nascent Souls and even Divine Spirits dictated everything, but daily interactions were with those below, and organizations managed relationships based on the conduct of these individuals; Meng Yu stepping back and trusting others to handle matters was a sign of that trust.

The subordinate Golden Cores each bravely took responsibility, acting gently and sincerely, evidencing a tightly-knit and highly idealistic organization.

Tell me, wouldn't such an organization be much better than places like Eternal Night Palace where Qin Ningxue, having just lost her husband, was going to be sold off, unable to even protect her unborn child?

During this period, the story of Qin Ningxue and Meng Yu spread throughout Sleepless City, with the Cinderella myth becoming a reality—she, now wearing the glass slipper, was the most beautiful queen, favored by Meng Yu, attracting the envy of countless people.

Yes, Meng Yu had his legal wife Bai Qianqian, and lovers among the Golden Cores, but from any perspective, he did his utmost.

This was a severely fragmented world, with no equality among people, giants wandering among flora, the lower-ranking fighting desperately for survival, hoping for a hand like that of Meng Yu—an exceptionally good man the likes of which even the Golden Cores had not heard of.

People couldn't see what Divine Spirit True Venerable was doing, but they could see Meng Yu lounging comfortably in Sleepless City, safe and sound like a horse let loose on the southern mountains, which greatly reassured many.

The only regret was that Meng Yu was too chaste, not selecting consorts in the city, but that was also a good thing, wasn't it?

Merchants from Western Wastes also spoke of Meng Yu's previous victories, his compassion towards everyone, far from harsh, but rather incredibly reasonable.

The remaining disciples of Sky-Splitting Sword Sect and Zi Yu were the best examples, simply because they surrendered and behaved, they were let go.

And these were Golden Cores.

...

On the Ascension List.

Meng Yu stood in the small town, nodding in satisfaction.

That day, the Ascension List essay contest topic was "My Elder". A primary school student wrote an essay titled "My President Dad, Mirror Twelve".

Facing countless competitors, the grading teacher didn't hesitate to give him the highest score.

Then the reward from that day on was that everything went smoothly, with Taiyi Sect laughing that it had all been a misunderstanding. Bai Hu, including leaders from the Demonic Path, treated Meng Yu as close as siblings, and even this small town was sold to Meng Yu by Taiyi Sect as a place for him to settle down.

A person who works hard, has capability, and is willing to contribute is most likely to be treated like an old work ox.

However, if that old ox's father is Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad, then everyone would respectfully address him as "Brother Ox".

...

Responsible for the town's security were two Golden Cores from Eternal Night Palace who had surrendered, and these last few days, they had been doing very well inside.

Cultivators generally prefer death over surrender, for in this world where power belongs solely to the individual, captured enemies are often eradicated or their cultivation destroyed. Men face a miserable fate, while women face an even more tragic one.

Xie Mingxian and Lan Qiong surrendered only because their true bodies were captured in Sleepless City, and they believed Meng Yu was a good person.

Many scorned such good people, always thinking them too soft-hearted and foolish for not scraping every last spirit stone, like Meng Yu's actions in the Western Wastes, which many from the Eternal Night Palace despised.

After Meng Yu defeated the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, he offered paths for the captives except for the extremely wicked or stubborn ones.

The irredeemable were sent to mine.

Those willing to join were put to good work.

And those who surrendered and contributed could stay or leave; Meng Yu even provided travel expenses, promising a drink together should they meet again in the Jianghu.

This approach astounded the people of the Eternal Night Palace. "You killed their masters and families, yet you dare let them go free? Aren't you afraid they'll bear the humiliation and seek revenge?"

In the most extreme cases, Meng Yu even dared to let Golden Cores go free!

Many disbelieved Yuan Ziyu could have escaped from the Western Wastes, suspecting she was a spy comprehensively tamed by Meng Yu. But when the Eternal Night Palace captured her, Lady Meng examined her and discovered this female Golden Core swordsman was still a virgin!

This finding spread across the Eternal Night Palace, causing laughter, with many joking that perhaps Meng Yu preferred furry oddities. How could he be so indulgent with the enemy? They claimed they would cherish an enemy's female Golden Core...

However, the faces of the three Nascent Souls from the Eternal Night Palace were not looking good.

The enemy was soft-hearted, true to their word, wealthy, and generous!

Yuan Ziyu became a joke to the extent that many wondered if she had body odor, but when the Eternal Night Palace's Golden Cores were overpowered and desperate, they thought of Yuan Ziyu.

Surrendered, yet able to walk free without insult?

If Meng Yu could spare such a beauty as Yuan Ziyu, what about themselves?

Thus, these two Golden Cores didn't hesitate to surrender when their true bodies in the Eternal Night City were in danger.

"Don't be so stiff, relax a little, being together is fate."

Xie Mingxian on the other side, today Meng Yu was greeted by the female Golden Core Lan Qiong, with brows arched like crescent moons and eyes as deep as the sea, possessing a mysterious beauty.

Meng Yu offered them very generous terms. During the year the Ascension List was open, they were to assist diligently, helping in various tasks. In reality, he wouldn't let them lack cultivation resources. They could choose to leave or stay anytime, and if they made significant achievements, he could guide them in cultivation techniques.

"How are things on that end?"

Meng Yu was referring to the infiltration of the Eternal Night Palace.

That day, Emperor Ye and Lady Meng died in battle, and since four Golden Cores weren't in Sleepless City, their true bodies escaped or were already at the Eternal Night Palace.

The Ascension List was a good tool, similar to how bad people on Azure Star used gaming to transmit information; Meng Yu had the two contact people from the Eternal Night Palace to turn them.

Some flatly refused, but others were tempted, given the dire straits of the Eternal Night Palace.

After killing Emperor Ye and Lady Meng, Mirror Twelve, commanding four hundred Golden Cores, charged at the highest speed toward the Eternal Night Palace. At that moment, the venerable elder hesitated. The Mountain Protection Array could hold against Divinity Transformation, but if he fled, the Eternal Night Palace would fall.

Hence, his moment of hesitation allowed Mirror Twelve to trap him at the mountain gate.

Now the question was, if everyone worked together unconditionally sacrificing themselves, could they defend the mountain gate? But would his Qi Foundation Establishment and Golden Core subordinates be willing to live and die with him?

The Eternal Night Palace, originating from the Demon Gate, was a sect known for its intensely brutal internal competition where the winner took all and left no chances for others.

At this time, could everyone unite to fend off the external enemy?

Meng Yu was eager to find out.
