Becoming evil makes you ten times stronger, but becoming a demon gives you hundredfold strength

But Master Mi had only one way out, which was to continue leading the army to campaign because he could not stand down.

"You're really bad."

...

The eighth day.

Although one does not need to sleep while on the Ascension List, Meng Yu had developed a habit of checking his personal email every morning.

Unfortunately, there were too many spam emails, so he could only read those from his friends.

Like True Monarch Yu Xia... yes, previously everyone was killing each other, but still, he had to befriend her to facilitate a non-violent agreement.

True Monarch Yu Xia had sent several emails, suggesting that she was a bit agitated yesterday and asking if they could continue to meet and talk?

As a Nascent Soul, she was proud and would never submit, but as a leader, she had to consider her clan.

"I sincerely advise Sister to jump ship quickly.

Myriad Gold Pavilion is too fat, having accumulated too much wealth. Many eyes are watching you, wanting to bite off a chunk, even swallow you up.

Sister, you'd better cut ties early to avoid getting implicated..."

Meng Yu responded earnestly. True Monarch Shui Yue had mentioned why he didn't wait until the Myriad Gold Pavilion's army had gathered and then launched an attack halfway, very simple.

The fall of Myriad Gold Pavilion's whale; it was in the northwest, and he couldn't reach it. Since that was the case, why kill them off completely?

The current situation was good; the Myriad Gold Pavilion still had a chance to recover, even a possibility to overturn the situation, but he could gain the maximum benefits.

Then, there were all kinds of emails, and Meng Yu replied to each one, but what did White Fox's email mean?

...

Blood God Town, Ascension List.

"Da Bai, this won't do. Tell us, what exactly did Meng Yu promise you three?"

The three beautiful fox ladies, yellow, red-haired, black-skinned... They cornered White Fox against the wall, "You must give us an explanation today, or we'll make you pay!"

Afraid that their sister would suffer, even more afraid that the sister would marry the prince, ah no, become the Empress.

White Fox's actions couldn't be hidden from other Fox Clans or the evil heretics who were even more concerned about why White Fox would bet on Meng Yu.

Of course, no one knew that White Fox had already reached the northwest, which gave everyone a misconception that the seven-tailed fox from the Fox Clan, the best among them, White Fox, was persuaded by Meng Yu.

To persuade such a cautious and benevolent White Fox who never offended anyone meant the chance of this matter's success was over ninety percent!

What was this excellent project that made her so crazy?

Now, everyone was curious. Blood God Town itself was a congregation spot for evil heretics; just a few days ago, they helped drove away the punitive force from Myriad Gold Pavilion. Now, White Fox, you better explain yourself, do you have any profitable opportunities?

Wasn't there a rumor before that Bai Qianqian was going to rebuild the Demon Race Imperial Court?

If this is true...

The so-called Demon Race Imperial Court, once established, is not about equality and glory for all demons, just like now, where the cunning rise and suppress all other races!

"No, there's no Demon Race Imperial Court, nor any plan to fight a decisive battle with Myriad Gold Pavilion in the northwest and then establish a dominance!"

White Fox hurriedly explained; she truly understood Meng Yu's plan and did not believe that the Myriad Gold Pavilion's army could reach the northwest.

"This is our meeting gift for Sect Master Meng."

Red Fox took out a human head.

This was an imposing middle-aged man, a native king propped up by Myriad Gold Pavilion in the world of Ascension List.

Myriad Gold Pavilion was not a mere relief, including various abuses and humiliations of the local natives, yet they had excellent relations with the local native kingdoms, supporting royal lineage for thousands of years.

Their trade was very pleasant; within decades, the native kingdoms cultivated and prepared various resources and maintained the security of places like Wanbao City.

After Myriad Gold Pavilion went online, they provided sufficient manpower to help the native kingdom's king to reinforce regal power or invade enemy nations.

When the Ascension List ended, besides the fixed properties, the remaining wealth would belong to the native kingdom; therefore, to the people of this world, Myriad Gold Pavilion was like a benevolent fisher, and for Myriad Gold Pavilion, the native king was a crucial partner.

"This is our sincerity. We want to have a good talk with Meng Yu. Myriad Gold Pavilion is formidable, but I am willing to die in battle in the northwest."

The speaker was Black Fox, her voice melodious yet filled with determination.

Everyone did not know what Bai Hu was up to, but they saw Bai Hu's recent actions, not only betting her all on Meng Yu but also shamelessly borrowing money to the point of desperation.

This was a big move.

In history, there were always some minor characters who eventually established the Imperial Court of the Demon Race. Within this process, countless Golden Cores and Nascent Souls risked and even sacrificed their lives for him. The reason was simple: it was a gamble, everyone endorsed him, and then they harvested an unprecedented return.

"No need, no need. This time, there's really no need to be so impulsive. To take such a risk..."

Bai Hu hurriedly declined, she obviously couldn't tell everyone the truth, but her words made the Fox Clan's Nascent Souls exchange glances, everyone being centuries-old foxes understood more clearly: Meng Yu really did not need everyone's help; he had everything under control!

What exactly happened?

"Right, he agreed, to meet with you. Just a heads up—be nicer when you talk, Myriad Gold Pavilion..."

Bai Hu thought for a moment but decided to reveal a bit of information, something Meng Yu allowed.

"Myriad Gold Pavilion is already doomed... I borrowed a lot of money from them earlier. If you're capable, go get loans now, these monies don't need to be repaid..."

She said somewhat sheepishly.

Why had True Monarch Yu Xia excoriated Bai Hu variously? Because Bai Hu had borrowed a significant amount of Spirit Stones from her a few months ago!

Why was Myriad Gold Pavilion so angry that Bai Hu stood with Meng Yu, and why did Meng Yu trust that she wouldn't betray him? Because she had mobilized the White Fox Clan to borrow large amounts of high-interest loans from Myriad Gold Pavilion.

The heavily indebted vixens of the Fox Clan were now eager for battle, vowing to bury the creditor Myriad Gold Pavilion!

...

The ninth day.

There was no need to say goodbye to Wanbao City; after leaving the urban area, the previous resurrection marks disappeared, and then suicide. The next moment, they returned to the revival point of their first log-in; an hour later, Meng Yu arrived at Blood God Town.

"Ah Yu, you're back."

Bai Hu greeted him with a smile, bowing respectfully like a maid, showing none of the arrogance typical of a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

Victors aren't blamed, let alone being genuinely magnanimous.

Earlier, Meng Yu suggested she buy the Eternal Night Palace; she thought Meng Yu was using bait to lure her into servitude, even inciting discord between her and True Monarch Shui Yue. The two women competing for the Eternal Night Palace would maximize his benefits.

At that time, she was genuinely dissatisfied. What did Meng Yu think of her?

Although the Eternal Night Palace was indeed appealing, the idea of vying for Meng Yu's favor like those lowly women was unthinkable!

Then, Meng Yu said, you don't have Spirit Stones, but you can trick people into lending!

Not only could you borrow money from Myriad Gold Pavilion, but as a good fox for so many years, having helped countless people, you could also ask them to lend money.

You could say this really worked. With the White Fox Clan, Bai Hu being the kindest had laid down many secret pawns, like True Monarch Shui Yue for instance.

She did not ask these people to go to extremes but requested their help in using personal spirit fields, treasures, etc., to mortgage and loan a large amount of Spirit Stones from Myriad Gold Pavilion, vouching with her personal reputation to repay the loans and so on.

Consequently, many people gritted their teeth to help, including other Nascent Souls of the Fox Clan who couldn't lose face and acted as guarantors, helping her borrow a lot of Spirit Stones from Myriad Gold Pavilion.

With the countdown to Myriad Gold Pavilion's downfall, she actually didn't have to pay back the loans. Just like in the past few days, True Monarch Yu Xia kept sending her messages, implying the money was no big deal, and asking if she could contact Meng Yu again to put in a good word.

She got rich, genuinely rich. Even if the auction of Eternal Night Palace fails, just these initial maneuvers were enough to prosper the White Fox Clan considerably. Moreover, Meng Yu spoke well; this money was a gift for meeting, thanking Sister Bai Hu for her help.

"Sister Bai, no need, no need."

Meng Yu hurriedly refused Bai Hu's service. Nascent Soul Cultivators were genuinely formidable, just a polite gesture in the Ascension List was sufficient; he couldn't bear the rest.

In reality, Meng Yu now didn't even dare to get close to True Monarch Shui Yue...

"Sisters, sorry to keep you waiting."

Meng Yu smiled, nodding and bowing to three beautiful ladies not far away.

When one punch opens a hundred possibilities, it's time to harvest.
