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

Zhao Yuxiang left, and just before she did, she gave Meng Yu a look full of deep meaning. Her message was clear and Meng Yu understood—now that he was on the books of Enforcement Hall, there would be an assessment in two and a half years. If he, a temporary worker, could become a formal employee, everyone would rejoice. But the Enforcement Hall could also label Meng Yu as defiant and undisciplined, deem him unqualified, and send him straight back to prison, making his future even bleaker.

Let's not forget, Meng Yu's first trial sentenced him to death!

This was the confidence Zhao Yuxuan had when manipulating Meng Yu, believing that Meng Yu could only endure. It was also the confidence that made Zhao Yuxiang believe Meng Yu would help—after all, Meng Yu had already made tough efforts for over two years, how could he possibly give up a bright future?

Then everything went back to normal.

The draft ended fruitlessly, and the Enforcement Hall was pained to realize that now they genuinely had no way to deal with Meng Yu!

The Immortal Sect had not entered a wartime system, and since Meng Yu was a temporary worker, the treaty he signed with the Enforcement Hall stipulated that after completing two red missions, he had the right to refuse problematic drafts—this was not specifically to protect Meng Yu, but a painful lesson from history that told everyone not to do so.

When you can summon guilty people to complete dangerous missions unconditionally and indefinitely, spitting could get you imprisoned, followed by even more fierce resistance, leading to a loss greater than any gain.

The mission in the Scorpio Minor World was urgent. Meng Yu could delay the process by refusing the draft, so in the end, the Enforcement Hall gave up on drafting him. However, Meng Yu paid a price; his request for annual leave was not approved, and he was assigned a business trip to a certain Second-Order Minor World.

This was to prevent him from speaking carelessly and leaking secrets.

However, this time, Meng Yu no longer played the old ox. Before leaving, he followed proper procedures, hired a lawyer, and filed a complaint against his superiors for various workplace discriminations and for using business trips as a means to hinder his cultivation, among other things.

The lawsuit between Meng Yu and the Enforcement Hall even made the news—it didn't hit the gossip or promotional news, as that was prohibited by the previous treaty, but news of the judicial litigation couldn't be blocked even by the Fifth Order Divine Artifact Moon God. This was one's most basic right.

The Second-Order Minor World Meng Yu went to was located on the Interstellar Expressway, allowing him to conveniently receive major news from the Immortal Sect, including hot pursuit coverage of the Scorpio Minor World.

There, he completed his work while watching the war situation in the Scorpio Minor World.

Five thousand Qi Refinement Practitioners descended from the sky, and Zhao Yuxiang, in her brilliant and valiant might, a beauty and a warrior goddess, cut down enemy generals. The battle was overpowering the enemy right from the start.

Yes, a mission that should have been assuredly completed with three thousand people now had five thousand Qi Refinement Practitioners in hand, the advantage on our side, how could the dragon riders ever lose?

Right, here's a piece of basic knowledge about the Immortal Sect: why don't the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators suppress their cultivation and enter First Grade Minor Worlds to fight?

Yes, Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators could suppress their cultivation, making their True Qi almost indistinguishable from that of Qi Refinement, and they could still win against ordinary Qi Refinement Practitioners. Whether it's fighting skills, Soul Searching, or the extent of sustained True Qi, they far exceed Qi Refinement Practitioners, where one could fight ten or a hundred. But generally, people wouldn't do such a thing.

Firstly, there's the problem of equipment. High Stage weapons and Protective Armor cannot be taken into Low Order worlds, which greatly weakens the combat power of high-level cultivators.

Then, in the normal world, a Qi Refinement Practitioner's all-out strike might not be able to breach the defenses of a Foundation Building Cultivator, but in the world of law, that same strike from a Qi Refinement Practitioner could likely penetrate or even kill Foundation Building or Golden Core cultivators!

You can use various means to suppress your cultivation, but your physique has been trained to be Second or even Third Grade. In such a case, with your already diminished defenses, any injury or serious wound could very well expose your real cultivation level. Foundation Establishment and up could be identified by the law as Second Order beings, and then the law would activate, gravely injuring or even annihilating Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators!

A tank, which should have been able to withstand all sorts of attacks, turns fragile in a Low Order world. It's precisely for this reason that the billions of people in different worlds are protected, preventing those real heavyweights from acting with impunity.

Perhaps it was Zhao Yuxiang's acute premonition, but three days after the operation began, a dramatic reversal occurred.

The enemy's fangs were bared; it was a trap.

Two weeks went by, and worse news came. The mission in the Scorpio Minor World had failed. The invested cohort of 4,986 Qi Refinement Practitioners, including the thousands from the previous planet, were all wiped out.

It was an exceedingly brutal war. The Immortal Sect thought they were thunder sweeping through a den, but who could have imagined that the enemy's ranks included twelve true disciples, plus over a thousand elite disciples.

The Immortal Sect's surveillance equipment could detect mass smuggling, but they had not anticipated that the enemy had been investing a year in advance and had sent in their true elites. These individuals entered the Scorpio Minor World in batches and then waited for the Immortal Sect's people to arrive, wanting to make a big move.

Both sides chose the moment of the tidal surge of the sun and moon, when the Teleportation Portal couldn't be used, neither wanting to allow their opponents to escape. After a head-on collision, both sides experienced excruciating pain.

Immortal Sect: Five thousand versus one thousand, the advantage is ours.

Demon Gate: The opponent will send at most over three thousand people. We are confident of victory; we have true disciples, various elites, ready for a massive slaughter.

The two sides fought to the death, but in the end, the Demon Gate won, defeating the Immortal Sect's army and taking control of the Scorpio Minor World.

The Immortal Sect kept transmitting the battle situation via radio waves, and over here, the masses watched a story full of ups and downs, joys, and sorrows, for two weeks.

"The battle is intense, they are all very brave." Stay connected via empire

"Actually, we could have won, it was just bad luck."

"If, if we could just increase our strength a little bit more, we would have won, like if we were issued better weapons, protective armor..."

The losses in this battle were devastating, and the Immortal Sect's media naturally covered it in various reports.

"Ah, the poor guys."

Meng Yu, who was away on business in a Second-Order Minor World, glanced at the news, shook his head, and then ordered a super luxurious double serving of Spiritual Meat to reward himself for his foresight.

Zhao Yuxiang died an honorable death in battle. Should I open a bottle of wine to taste today?

I wonder if the Zhao Family will feel the pain?

As for whether my presence could have turned the tide of the battle?

Sorry, but I'm just a temporary worker who's been manipulated at the workplace. Not long ago, when I filed a complaint about the unfairness at the Enforcement Hall, they lashed back at me, accusing me of illegal teaching, tax evasion, and they even froze my bank account.

"The defeat in this battle is due to two reasons, besides underestimating the enemy—that is, being understaffed."

The TV anchor was discussing the process of the battle. Hmm, when a war is lost, if the people below have all died valiantly, then it's a problem with those above.

The Zhao Family lost a Zhao Yuxiang and over thirty young members, and other families lost many people as well. As for this mission, initially planned for three thousand and swelled to five thousand, no one mentioned the various enhancements anymore.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
