Becoming evil makes you ten times stronger, but becoming a demon gives you hundredfold strength-Chapter 327 - 291: Just Like a Fierce Tiger Lying on a Barren Hill

There has been a rumor recently in Sleepless City that the Elder of the Blood Demon Sect, whom Meng Yu burned to death, actually came in pursuit of the sect’s secret treasure.

The Heavenly Demon Manual is divided into ten volumes, each containing cultivation techniques that directly point to the Unity of Dao. The cultivation techniques of the Blood Demon Sect are well-known among cultivators and are easy to understand in principle—by devouring others, one enhances oneself. Even an ordinary cultivator, after obtaining the inheritance of the Blood Demon Sect, could become an expert in a short time.

Meanwhile, another rumor has surfaced; a Great Heavenly Demon of the Dark Demon Sect has slaughtered the disciples of the Eternal Night Palace and so on.

All sorts of rumors are flying around, with many strange incidents happening in Sleepless City recently. Even the Golden Core Masters guarding the city have instructed their subordinates not to reach out carelessly, but to consolidate their forces and use the City-Protecting Great Array to defend the important areas.

Many blocks are in chaos, numerous people have disappeared without a trace, and those responsible for maintaining order are either frantically busy or simply giving up. Yet, paradoxically, even more people are flocking into Sleepless City.

There is no other reason; despite the chaos, Sleepless City is still a Third Grade Minor World where Nascent Souls would not enter. Meanwhile, following Meng Yu’s revelation of the Eternal Night Palace’s attack on the merchant ships, connections have been made to the mysterious disappearances of several powerful Golden Core Families. Who would dare to wipe out these not-to-be-underestimated local powers?

Thinking about the frequent movements of the Nascent Souls from the Eternal Night Palace, one begins to understand some things.

Don’t say Nascent Soul experts are too proud to stoop to such actions. It is said that only bad people become old, not that people become good as they grow old. Nascent Souls, too, have climbed their way up from Qi Cultivation, through Foundation Establishment, to Golden Core, fighting every step of the way. The reason old people become better is that they grow old and frail and dare not offend others, but Nascent Souls are all the more vigorous.

Many people have entered the Eternal Night Palace amidst these chaotic scenes, allowing Meng Yu’s subordinates to thrive even more, joyously grasping the pulse of the city.

...

The house that Meng Yu purchased is in a relatively safe neighborhood, and he continues to live a low-profile life, with about five days left until the next transportation.

He could leave at any time, but to align with the schedule, he decided to stir things up every month.

Hua Miaochai has actually made contact, but Meng Yu told her to hide and not to move. The equipage and other contents of the five Storage Bags from the Golden Core cultivators need not be taken out for the time being.

First, the personal Magic Artifacts of the Golden Cores, etc., are always carried with them. These equipments are supplementary; having them would increase their combat power, but without them, they wouldn’t be devastated or significantly diminished in strength.

Second, since Mirror Twelve acted out of line and broke their promise, they can’t blame Meng Yu for making a second-hand preparation. For example, the recent rumors about the Blood Demon Sect were spread by Meng Yu himself, intending to prepare a huge scapegoat for the sect in the future.

Third...

He sat lazily at the door, basking in the sun. The reason he didn’t go inside was that these past few days, there had always been some people coming to visit him—some to build relationships, some to do business, some to exchange this or that. Since this was the case, he simply moved a recliner to sit outside the door and chat with whoever came by.

He wasn’t in a rush to cultivate. After doing his share of killing, he found that relaxing was also a form of cultivation.

Not to mention that he could observe all facets of the world.

For instance, right now, he saw a group of people approaching his place with an aggressive air.

One of the visitors was an acquaintance.

Huh, what had happened?

...

Wang Yingjie has been having a very tough time recently, a very, very tough time indeed.

Because he had his eye on Ding Yijun, it led to conflicts between the Eternal Night Palace and the Moon-Watching Sect, along with a series of subsequent issues. Before all this, Meng Yu’s sole demand was simple: to kill him and those hooligans, leading to a happy resolution for all.

Of course, the Eternal Night Palace wouldn’t agree to such a request as it concerned their reputation. As a result, not only did they promote Wang Yingjie, but they also assigned a Golden Core Master to protect him personally—not to prevent Meng Yu from killing him, but to prevent others from adding fuel to the fire.

Once there was a strong man whose parents were murdered when he was young. When he was about to succeed in his vengeance, a compassionate high monk appeared, repelled him, and saved his enemy.

Three years later, when the strong man had become more powerful and returned for revenge, he discovered that his enemy had died a natural death a year prior. The high monk kindly said it was fate, his enemy was already dead, and there was no need for further killing. But the strong man went mad, attacked the monk, only to be defeated by the many experts within the monk’s temple. The young strong man fled in a pitiful state, but from that day on, bloody vengeance began.

The strong man was stubborn, spending a full hundred years starting with slaughtering the temples and devotees, causing Buddhism across the continent to decline. Along his journey, his strength continued to rise, and as he slaughtered, the entire Buddhist community went from anger to despair to eventually asking, "Why did that high monk get involved back then?"

Buddhism tried to negotiate several times, but the strong man would reply, "The killer of my parents has died peacefully, so you are the killer of my parents!" Find exclusive stories on novelbuddy

It took the strong man three hundred years to transform his reputation from a blood-handed demon to a man who sought swift retribution, eliminating anyone who had acted against him.

Now, since Meng Yu demanded Wang Yingjie’s death, which the Eternal Night Palace would not accept, it did not mean that reconciliation was impossible. If the Eternal Night Palace admitted wrongdoing and handed over Wang Yingjie, then the best option would be to make Wang Yingjie disappear in advance and to declare that the Eternal Night Palace would pamper him and never admit defeat.

Many sects wouldn’t mind causing trouble for the Eternal Night Palace!

During the most absurd times, Wang Yingjie experienced five assassination attempts in one single day!

The bones of those hooligans had turned into ash, but Wang Yingjie struggled to survive, not due to his abilities but thanks to the pair of Golden Core Masters by his side.

The number of Golden Core Masters protecting him increased from one to two; many wished for Wang Yingjie to die!

"Master Yin, this family is related to the Blood Demons, and they..."

Even if Wang Yingjie’s grandfather was a Golden Core, the two didn’t hide their annoyance with the assignment. Wang Yingjie didn’t want to die, but he also knew that his life depended on whether the two Golden Core experts would do their utmost. Thus, he tried to work hard, like now, when he had found a profitable sweet spot for the two Golden Cores.

At the Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer, his cave dwelling was protected by a Third Grade Array, and it was foundationless. The sect that Cao Defang belonged to had been destroyed fifteen years prior.

Meng Yu sat at home when disaster struck from the sky.

Although Meng Yu had used various means to muddy the waters on his way, preventing gangs and evil forces from disturbing his safety, his extravagance had attracted a big shot.

Meng Yu, hearing Wang Yingjie’s words, felt that this was too much of a coincidence. This person must be killed in the future; it was clear they were incompatible with one another.

"What’s the matter?"

With no choice, Meng Yu knocked on the door, looking at the large crowd outside and the two Golden Cores floating in the sky.

"Search. We suspect there’s a problem here."

Wang Yingjie raised the token high, belonging to the ruler of the Sleepless City, with the power to mobilize support from the Array and as a symbol of status.

He couldn’t help but sneer, seeing Meng Yu as meat on the chopping board.

"Two Golden Core Masters."

Meng Yu ignored him and gave a salute to the two Golden Core Masters floating in the air.

"I came to the Sleepless City to buy property and have always lived here lawfully. The patrol team has also checked twice. Now, you want to search my home; what is the meaning of this?"

"We suspect there’s a problem here, and this is the token."

"Well, the only issue here is with Master Lin’s widow. The two of them sacrificed themselves for the Eternal Night Palace, and now the widow is being sold off. I saw it and felt it was wrong, so I bought them. These past days, people have come to inquire and hinted that I should hand them over. I don’t understand why the Eternal Night Palace would treat their own this way, and to the point of death?"

Purchasing the two of them had an advantage: if someone came to make trouble for Meng Yu, he could dodge and weave in conversation with them.

"It’s not about them; it’s mainly you..."

"Look at you, you’re getting anxious, aren’t you? There’s a rumor going around that they kept their wealth and swallowed it up. Have you no conscience? Have you stooped to preying on the desperate?"

Meng Yu casually bantered with Wang Yingjie, speaking in a moderate tone that the whole street could hear.

Anyway, the street was full of widows who could probably relate, and also many who had lost family members, all core members of the Eternal Night Palace.

And Meng Yu stood at the edge of a Third Grade Protective Array Formation, steadfastly refusing to open the door.

"You talk nonsense; you’re colluding with the Blood Demons; we have evidence..."

Wang Yingjie became desperate; such tactics had always worked for him before, but he hadn’t expected his opponent to resist this time.

Especially since the opponent was protected by a Third Grade Protective Array, even Golden Core experts would need to exert effort to break through.

"See, you’re getting anxious. Colluding with Blood Demons, over there in the marketplace, you said someone colluded with Blood Demons, Meng Yu directly killed an Elder of the Blood Demon Sect. Right, I recognize you now, you’re Wang Yingjie, the one who angered Meng Yu. If it wasn’t for you, the Sleepless City wouldn’t be in such chaos today. You provoke Meng Yu, you jinx!"

When you talk reason with him, he talks rules with you. When you talk rules with him, he muddles the situation! Meng Yu roared loudly, drawing more and more onlookers from a distance.

Enraged, Wang Yingjie flushed red, drew his long sword, and made a slashing strike. He was at the Foundation Establishment Third Layer, but the silk-like light shield of the Eighteen Clouds Array resisted his attack.

"Two seniors, I will not withdraw the Protective Formation. It’s clear that Wang Yingjie is framing me. I hope both seniors can see through to the truth."

"Open the Array, or die."

The two Golden Cores descended from the sky, a man and a woman, standing in front of the Protective Formation.

Regardless of anything else, this was the territory of the Eternal Night Palace, and Wang Yingjie was a disciple of the Palace. It didn’t matter if the scene turned ugly—the worst would be to cower.

A fight was about to break out, and two Golden Cores dealing with a Foundation Establishment level cultivator wouldn’t have any problem.
