Becoming evil makes you ten times stronger, but becoming a demon gives you hundredfold strength-Chapter 457 - 354: Mistakes Galore

Yuan Ziyu had never seen such a luxurious and free prison before.

She had not even thought that Meng Yu would treat them so well.

Flaying skin and extracting bones, separating the Divine Soul, suppressing into a puppet... These many methods were not to be taken lightly.

After she was later captured by the Eternal Night Palace, the True Sage who interrogated her smiled sinisterly, and she had also seen the prisons of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, knowing what inhuman things happened there.

Today she only wanted to ask Meng Yu if he might help them sweep the graves or check how old the children were...or perhaps... yet, what she encountered was this scene.

Meng Yu, truly, was too compassionate.

Of course, she did not understand that Meng Yu's kindness toward these female Golden Cores was simple; at that time, Meng Yu still harbored certain fantasies about the Blood Sea Great Formation, planning to use the eight of them for a Blood Sacrifice.

You obviously couldn't let the object of a Blood Sacrifice suffer too much; even pigs had to be fattened up before slaughter. Given that members of the Immortal Sect with Golden Cores were watching, and also considering that the Immortal Sect's prison system was quite sophisticated, Meng Yu imported Magic Artifacts from there to imprison souls and restrict bodies. However, on the surface, he treated them well, lest the quality of the sacrificial offerings be subpar when it came time for the Blood Sacrifice. He had even thought of a name for his Formation Diagram—Beauty Map—only to later realize in the Blood God Sect that it truly wasn't workable.

As for why he was behaving so honorably, not having approached them for these two years... regardless of anything, he wouldn't stoop so low as to use people as offerings after harming them, would he?

Threads of Spiritual Energy cascaded down from above, the Spirit Well absorbing the radiance of the sun and moon. The demi-plane was warm as spring. Yuan Ziyu looked at all of this and felt it incredibly absurd. If it were her, she certainly would not treat them so well, nor would she keep them all together—what if they escaped? Moreover, they each seemed to be living such happy lives...

Yet now, her former companions actually felt discontent?

Some even used the Whispering Secret Technique to ask her to save them?

What a joke! Could someone like Meng Yu really leave such a flaw?

For some reason, pride suddenly swelled in her heart— those were more talented, excelling, composed, and persevering than she was, but now, the one who had chosen the right person was her!

Moreover, they had become legitimate stepping stones for a true genius!

She wanted to talk about Meng Yu's illustrious feats in the northwest, his Foundation Establishment victories over Golden Cores, his glorious career, a lone figure traversing a hundred thousand miles, a single sword able to halt a million soldiers. She even wanted to say nothing at all, because not long before, when she had suggested to Meng Yu that they meet them, he had seemed a bit surprised.

"Remembered them? What's there to see after being locked up for two years?"

"Aren't their treatments good enough, talisman making, Alchemy, and Artifact Refining every day?"

"I'm glad they're being so defiant. It's best if we don't see each other to avoid discomfort."

"Releasing you was a special treatment under exceptional circumstances. At that time, someone was needed to appease the remnants of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, so I was happy when you surrendered, and even happier when you left—exchanging a fortune for money. But now, not only do they lack value, but they also have a negative value. What's there to gain in releasing them? What help could they possibly be to me? Eight Golden Cores, twenty-eight at Foundation Establishment—if even one escapes with malicious intent, how great a price must I pay?"

Hmm, I was a bit lascivious back then, imprisoning them with the thought of doing something unsavory. However, I later found that to be uninteresting. I am a gentleman; there's no need for such behavior.

My past actions weren't admirable, thinking that with your surrender, those below you would also surrender, so I treated them well. But don't worry, their treatments will continue to decline. More Golden Cores and Foundation Establishments will enter this prison, with stricter management, more rules, and more work."

Although somewhat displeased, Yuan Ziyu still relayed Meng Yu's words.

"You're talking nonsense. How can there be even more Golden Cores and Foundation Establishments coming in? Meng Yu really is revealing his ambition. Does he want to unify the Western Wastes?"

Someone was so agitated that her chest, full of elasticity, continued to expand.

Yuan Ziyu looked at the woman with the largest bosom as if she were an idiot but only sighed.

On her shoulder, the Memory Stone was recording the scene at hand. These materials might become promotional footage for countless people to watch on the Ascension List. Eventually, everyone would know they were captured by Meng Yu, and also know... Well... guess what they were thinking?

Then she sighed again and said with sincere concern.

"You don't know what our lord has been doing during this time, do you?"

She recounted in full the things Meng Yu had done during these days.

With the imminent demise of the Eternal Night Palace, wouldn't it mean that many Golden Cores and Foundation Establishment would end up in prison?

On this visit, she even had a mission; Meng Yu wanted her to shoot a series of Memory Stones to show the Golden Cores and Foundation Establishments of the Eternal Night Palace what kind of person he was.

He captured the opponents' Golden Cores without turning them into xxxooo of his own shape, allowing them to leisurely make talismans, perform Alchemy daily, and the men were dealt with clean and fast: released two, killed two; the one imprisoned agreed to Guard a secret realm for twenty years before leaving. The remaining Foundation Establishment and Qi Cultivation Disciples were not eternal servants; if they performed well, they could even exchange for resources to cultivate.

Meng Yu's stance was very clear: on the battlefield, we kill each other, but once defeated, I treat you as humans.

As for the future backlash... just look at Meng Yu's uncle who achieved Divinity Transformation, with six hundred Golden Cores, and see how laughable the idea of revenge is.
