Becoming evil makes you ten times stronger, but becoming a demon gives you hundredfold strength-Chapter 451 - 351: Meng Yu’s Route of Surrender and Escape_2

Between men and women, it really sucks when a "lick dog" suddenly runs off, not to mention when a backup spare walks away—and Meng Yu, he was genuinely a diamond bachelor.

Look at Bai Qianqian, who slept with him, and Zhuge Caihua, who didn’t; how much did they get from him?

And this son of a bitch was truly nepotistic, favoring Fairy Taohua and Master Lihua whenever there was a benefit!

They were most jealous of just this, since they couldn’t even come close to Meng Yu’s side!

"Master Chen, I am just a poor soul, and I have no intentions of clinging to Young Master Meng."

Miss Gan stood up, yet she knelt before Master Chen.

"The lord is a true kind-hearted person, he only pities us poor folk and wants to give us a way out, please do not speak ill of him..."

This drove Master Chen even crazier!

A beautiful senior girl had high hopes for a promising younger male student, only to discover that his house maid was cute, docile, blindly worshipping him, and constantly by his side!

It was too much!

...

Miss Mei was busy in the kitchen when she heard the call for a meeting.

Ah, another meeting?

Miss Mei enjoyed working close to Meng Yu and was comfortable, but there was one thing she found hard to get used to—the meetings.

The Golden Cores had developed a meeting system using the City-Protecting Great Array and Spirit Veins, convening everyone online for important matters and a myriad of trivial issues, which Miss Mei found...really good.

So many important messages, so many chances to ask questions, so many clear instructions, even including reviews by the Golden Cores, misunderstanding the situation due to being uninformed, screwing up something...

Such scenes quashed rumors, enhanced work efficiency, got things done, and even gave everyone a feeling of being somewhat equals with them—though the locals quickly suppressed such inappropriate thoughts, one could not help but say that meetings were a hallmark of civilization.

Of course, there were no Water Mirror Techniques in the kitchen, but Miss Mei went to Meng Yu’s side, respectfully like a little wife. Raised with education on women’s virtues, she understood certain things; time with a superior is the most precious commodity—the more time you spend with him, the more opportunities you get.

The meeting hadn’t started yet, and a group of maids gathered together, talking about recent events. Meng Yu not only expressed his intention to wage war against the Myriad Gold Pavilion but also asked the Sects of the Northwest Region to take sides.

Meng Yu was not too demanding on his subordinates, apart from a few clear prohibitions, the daily routine still included various leisure activities, playing and even reading the Sleepless City Daily including submitting articles.

"You will eventually be sent out on tasks, and at that time, you will have to take on serious responsibilities, so learning more is important."

No one questioned if Meng Yu’s decisions were correct, that wasn’t for the servants to worry about. All they could do was follow Meng Yu into battle, for victory or death.

...

The banquet ended, and various figures, big and small, left the scene one by one. Meng Yu shook his head, but then ordered that the stewards of the town, accountants, and even a representative of the maids, be called for a meeting.

Meng Yu, who started from humble beginnings, knew well how stupid it was for superiors to make decisions and then either not clearly communicate them to those below, or even deliberately keep it vague to test their loyalty.

Especially those who used life-or-death choices as selections. When someone was determined and ready to die but then was told it was just a test of their character—Meng Yu never thought this was right.

What the hell are you testing!

You’re the boss, it’s your duty to explain things clearly!

And right away!

...

"I declare war on the Myriad Gold Pavilion today," Meng Yu began, voice resounding, "and I call upon the powers of the Northwest to choose their side. Anyone who remains entangled with the Myriad Gold Pavilion or has contacts with the Ten Directions Demon Subduing Hall will be our enemy."

Meng Yu made his stance clear with his opening sentence.

"I am not a conceited person. I have never underestimated those large and small powers. They all have their backers, whether they be disciples of major Sects or have other relatives and friends. Their survival is also difficult, and there is no need to force them into enmity."

"I would much rather make friends with them."

"Also, I would like to take this opportunity to share my vision for the future of Sleepless City."

"I have no plans to conquer the Northwest, let alone Sleepless City. I have never even thought about controlling it. At most, I’ll return to the Western Wastes in a year or two."

What?

...

The audience was shocked and agitated, prompting Meng Yu to lead them to an open area behind the City Lord Mansion.

Many knew that Meng Yu had been constructing something here recently, but the foggy Formation blocked everything, making it unclear what was happening.

These days, various rumors in Sleepless City were rife—claims that Meng Yu was actually a Demon Lord, practicing cultivation by draining others’ lives, that the Blood God Sect was merely the Blood Demon Sect renamed, that Meng Yu planned to attack the Six Great Sects and perform a Blood Sacrifice across the entire Northwest... The rumors even included that Meng Yu belonged to the Demon Race—a jumble of chaos, with flyers spread throughout the city overnight.

This was the Myriad Gold Pavilion showcasing its power.

The crowd below was worried, particularly about the rumors of Meng Yu going to war with the Myriad Gold Pavilion and the Ten Directions Demon Subduing Hall, which could bring their Divinity Transformation-level powerhouses, possibly leading to countless deaths.

"I came to this continent to travel the world with my sword, seek true love, and then I met Bai Qianqian. At that time, I promised her that I would make the Moon-Watching Sect one of the four major Sects of the Western Wastes and build a Teleportation Portal to connect the Western Wastes and the Northwest, making the exchange of people and goods much more convenient."

As the fog cleared, a magnificent Formation appeared before everyone, with a Light Gate towering five meters wide and four meters high, drawing amazed murmurs.

The reason why a large Teleportation Array is known as a major Teleportation Portal is because it involves Third Grade spatial technology, which can sustain long-distance transmissions over extended periods.

"I came to the Western Wastes without any ambition because there was no need to compete with the poor; I already had plenty of good items, and it was better for everyone to exchange and complement each other happily.

However, in the Western Wastes, I encountered the Five Directions Tower and the Sky-splitting Sword Sect. We battled, and the issue was delayed, but I did not forget.

So, once the Western Wastes settled, I came to the Northwest, hoping to negotiate with the largest local powers to see if we could build a major Teleportation Array for mutual benefit."

Small Teleportation Arrays, which many major Sects possess, can be used for escape or to enter Minor Worlds when necessary.

There are several medium-sized Teleportation Arrays in the Northwest, connecting several major cities, but due to recent conflicts, the Teleportation Array in Sleepless City has been shut down.

As for the large Teleportation Array, well... let me clarify one point: spatial Spells are second only to time-related Spells in complexity and excellence. Hence, a large Teleportation Array is a Third Grade Array, assumable within Sleepless City.

Eight Array Eyes stabilize the space, three Spirit Veins are bound within, and Spirit Stones provide the operational energy, resembling a black hole’s gate, four zhang wide and three zhang high, connecting to the Western Wastes a million li away!

It’s worth noting that it took the fastest ship, the Solar Eclipse, eight months to travel from the Western Wastes to the Northwest. A normal merchant fleet’s Flying Boats would take over a year, and they would still face attacks from demonic beasts and Demons along the way!

On this vast and dreadful continent, humans occupy mere specks scattered like sprinkled pepper, with countless Demons and monsters lurking in various regions. A single beast tide often results in the death of tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions!

The technology of the large Teleportation Array, held only by a few Holy Lands, indicates the immense power of the Blood God Sect backing Meng Yu.

"When I first arrived in Sleepless City, I simply wanted to have a good talk with the people of the Eternal Night Palace and prosper together."
