Becoming evil makes you ten times stronger, but becoming a demon gives you hundredfold strength-Chapter 432 342: Acting Young, Winner Takes All_2
Why don't they attack?
"Sincerity, what I want is sincerity."
Meng Yu looked at the intelligence, many people expressed their willingness to surrender, and then nodded, "Tell your brothers and sisters that Uncle Twelve has limited patience, don't let him wait too long, if it weren't for me always stopping him, he would have taken down Eternal Night Palace in one go."
Meng Yu told everyone that he was kind-hearted, had traveled here including Foundation Establishment and thanked Uncle Twelve for his help, but he didn't want too many people to die in this battle, like those at the Golden Core cultivation level.
Meng Yu praised the defense of the Eternal Night Palace and mentioned that, relying on the Mountain Protection Array, the Reverend Muzhong could at least take away a dozen of Meng Yu's side's Golden Cores, which wouldn't be good.
That was the truth.
"The terms I'm offering you now are very good, you can keep some of your property, asking for more won't work, the uncle leading the team is rather stern and ruthless, you don't understand, if it weren't for me advising him, he would have already taken down Eternal Night Palace."
Listening to Meng Yu privately slandering his uncle, True Master Lan Qiong felt immensely envious.
She too came from a large family, step by step she became a Golden Core, originally thinking her life began at the pinnacle, but now she could only say, Meng Yu was truly born with a golden key.
A father and uncle with Divinity Transformation, so many Golden Core Masters who cared for and adored him... The Golden Cores she met in Sleepless City respected Meng Yu greatly, and the women, when talking about Meng Yu, had the feeling of a big sister looking at a little brother.
She carefully explained to Meng Yu the various situations of Eternal Night Palace and the terms proposed by those people, but Meng Yu didn't care much, saying to pass this information to Xie Mingxian, let him and those people interpret it, "I'm just a minor Foundation Establishment, I don't need to worry about these things."
Meng Yu began to enjoy the delicacies.
Ascension List is a virtual world, perfect for enjoying gourmet food, and this direct disciple of Lady Meng, the famed Golden Core Master known as the Ice and Snow Orchid, in addition to serving Meng Yu tea and water, came close to Meng Yu, affectionate but also distant, rubbing against him.
Her face was slightly red, ten days ago, she never imagined, a Golden Core Master of her stature would serve a Foundation Establishment in such a lowly manner, but she knew clearer, this was her only chance.
In reality, she wouldn't even have the chance to get close to Meng Yu!
Xie Mingxian was taken to Eternal Night Palace by Mirror Twelve, regularly connecting with Meng Yu through the Ascension List, while she was imprisoned in Sleepless City.
Despite Meng Yu's friendly attitude, saying as long as you behave, I won't lack resources for your real-world cultivation, but in reality, she couldn't even meet Meng Yu!
The son of Divinity Transformation, although congenial, behind that congeniality were countless people wanting to get close to him!
She once managed a Minor World, during the critical moments of dynastic rise and fall, Emperor's succession, many famous ministers and generals, many talented enchanters, just because they chose the wrong side or weren't valued, were treated like trash, some spent decades in jail until they died of old age!
Between life and death, there is great terror.
Over the years, Eternal Night Palace defeated many Sects, dealt with many Loose Cultivators, she knew very well how prisoners were treated, many enemies would rather self-destruct than surrender, because the endings were very tragic!
And she, although still a Golden Core Master, was imprisoned somewhere, also under several prohibitions, life and death controlled by others, those Golden Cores could just raise their hands to take her life!
Although she repeatedly expressed her desire to meet Meng Yu in reality, including being willing to have all her Cultivation sealed to see Meng Yu, none succeeded!
They didn't trust her.
Then, if you can't even see them, don't have a closer relationship, how can you ensure they will truly release you?
The first day, she didn't care, the second day, she began to fear... the third day, the fourth day, and thereafter, terror surrounded her every day, making her determined.
She didn't want to die! She would survive at all costs!
She needed a true guarantee she could trust, at least she wanted to feel, this person wouldn't forget her.
Although quite shy, her chest pressed against Meng Yu's arm, such that the softest part accidentally brushed against Meng Yu once, then again, but she still clung to Meng Yu's arm.
"Don't do this, you should eat too."
The man was a bit embarrassed and quickly withdrew his hand.
Ah, this is a good man, she recalled the various rumors about Meng Yu, like at first, he was courted by Bai Qianqian, that faceless and buttless girl, just because Bai Qianqian was kind to him and could cry.
She suddenly felt a stirring in her heart and thought of many things.
...
After leaving Meng Yu's room, Lan Qiong reverted to her icy demeanor.
Then, she arrived at another courtyard, and soon after, various guests began to arrive.
It was somewhat amusing that among the eight Golden Cores that entered the Ascension List, all eight had connections with Lan Qiong, including Xie Mingxian; among them were even Lady Meng's granddaughter and the son of Venerable Mu!
The day Venerable Mu failed to escape promptly and was trapped in the Eternal Night Palace, several people contacted Lan Qiong, stating, "We want to talk with Meng Yu!"

However, at that time, Meng Yu was asleep; upon waking, he was not enthusiastic but still welcomed the talks.
Meng Yu's terms were simple.
Among the eight individuals, the lives of two people could not be discussed; they were too evil, had committed too many atrocities, and letting them go would easily implicate Meng Yu in karma, affecting his future achievement of Divinity Transformation—it was unacceptable.
Such bizarre talk would be scoffed at if it came from someone else, but when Meng Yu said it, everyone believed it to be true.
This person had already seen a farther future and cared about karma!
Of course, if these two individuals were not afraid to die and were willing to use their lives to secure a path for their children, that could be discussed too.
As for the other individuals, if they staged a rebellion, they could take their personal life weapons, some possessions, and some subordinates, all handled in the manner of Yuan Ziyu.
Meng Yu was not keen on this and let Lan Qiong and Xie Mingxian negotiate with them first; once everyone accepted the terms, they would have a proper discussion.
Today, these people came to see Meng Yu again.
"Sister Lan."
The speaker was an elegant and noble woman, Lady Meng's granddaughter. Although her mother had died at Meng Yu's hands, she still contacted Lan Qiong, the earliest traitor.
"Can't the terms be a bit better? You know, without the Eternal Night Palace, there is much danger outside; we need more assurances."
Her phoenix hairpin was luxurious and elaborate, and her expression showed fear.
For countless Loose Cultivators, becoming Golden Core was a lifelong dream as it promised safety; however, those in the Eternal Night Palace knew that once a Golden Core left their power sphere, they were merely flavorful fruit.
Disgrace comes with leaving home, implying that once you move to certain places, it's easy to perish with your clan.
Even if they stayed where they were, they could easily be devoured.
"These are the terms set by Young Master Meng, and they are indeed fair. If anyone else were to take action, do you guess, would those people honor the agreement?"
Lan Qiong looked helplessly at the foolish woman in front of her, who was still too naive. Insiders are never considered valuable people; their worth dissipates upon mission completion. Many forces, including the Eternal Night Palace, had committed acts of betrayal, and turning on people at any given excuse was all too common; in contrast, Meng Yu, who even released captured Golden Core prisoners, was extremely rare.
"I want to see Young Master Meng; is that possible? Actually, I can persuade Venerable Mu. He doesn't wish to fight to the death, and negotiations are possible as long as he is released, resulting in a perfect outcome."
The woman's voice carried hope, her ample chest trembling nonstop; this goddess of the Eternal Night Palace, in this moment, spoke humbly yet her eyes still held a trace of determination.
Perhaps, she had something to exchange with Meng Yu, perhaps she thought she could persuade Meng Yu, or maybe she still believed in the notions of a gentleman's agreement and kindred spirits.
Or even, she was entrusted by Venerable Mu to test the waters.
"Slap!"
Lan Qiong slapped her hard across the face.
"Snap out of it!"
