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

Meng Yu enjoyed the delicious meal as the television program continued.

"Speaking of the mission roster, did you notice this dispatch?"

The guest on the show highlighted a name.

"Meng Yu, Enforcement Hall specifically asked for his participation and offered very attractive conditions, but he refused. It's safe to say, if he had gone there, we definitely could have won this battle."

"You can't be too harsh on this young man; he's just a Qi Refinement Ninth Layer practitioner. Even if he had gone, he wouldn't have made much of a difference, considering many of the Qi Refinement Practitioners sent this time were High Stage Ninth Layer experts."

The smiling female guest appeared to be defending Meng Yu.

"That's not the case, Meng Yu's combat strength is now comparable to being invincible among Qi Cultivators."

The male guest expressed his regret, "You might not know this, but Meng Yu's current combat power isn't just unparalleled among Qi Cultivators, but even if he comes across Foundation Establishment experts, the beginners of Foundation Establishment are no match for him, and he has defeated quite a few of the High Stage ones as well."

The Immortal Sect had suffered a major defeat, with five thousand Qi Refinement Practitioners dead in the Scorpio Minor World, including elites from some families, leaving everyone quite displeased. At times like this, there always needs to be a scapegoat, and the dead are spared from blame. So, what exactly went wrong?

Of course, Meng Yu was the one called out at this point.

This scapegoat was just perfect.

"These days, Meng Yu has been busy with private duels, that is, fighting Foundation Establishment warriors, charging half a million for each match. Just look at his combat record."

The male guest, with a sly grin, displayed a list of battle records on the screen, and the Immortal Sect audience quickly recognized several familiar names. Those martial arts Foundation Establishment warriors had fought Meng Yu with mixed results of wins and losses, but Meng Yu's winning rate was over seventy percent, and those martial arts experts he lost to were all at Mid-Foundation Establishment Stage!"

"Look, those Early Foundation Establishment experts were all defeated by Meng Yu, what does this signify? It shows that Meng Yu has at least the strength of Foundation Establishment. A Qi Refinement Ninth Layer able to kill experts of Foundation Establishment, now let's reflect on the defeat in the Scorpio Minor World. Often, the lack of a cornerstone to fend off a few moves from the opponent's elite disciples is what's missing. If Meng Yu had been there, let alone holding them off, he could have directly taken out the opponent's elite disciples and secured the victory!"

The male guest was shouting hoarsely, criticizing Meng Yu, while Meng Yu contentedly finished his double-serving luxury meal and ordered an extra bottle of champagne.

Indeed, I have been somewhat indifferent, I should show some compassion. Should I contact Zhao Yuxuan now and tell him, "You caused your sister's death"?

That day, if you had apologized and begged me on your knees, perhaps I would have agreed.

Ha ha ha.

In the following days, Meng Yu suddenly fell in love with watching news programs, especially keeping up with the strategies involving the Scorpio Minor World.

It was more entertaining than any thrilling tale, particularly the fierce battle that led to Zhao Yuxiang's death.

At the start of the battle between the two forces, teleportation was disturbed by all parties, rendering it impossible to send reinforcements, so they had to wait until the battle on the ground concluded.

The Qi Refinement Practitioners on that minor planet fought in various skirmishes, with someone dying every moment, and the complex situation of the battle often left the outcome to chance.

Online, there were numerous debates about this battle, and one opinion was that if the Immortal Sect had sent more experts, maybe just a hundred more, they could have won by now, and so on.

Meng Yu watched all of this with great interest, even imagining if he were there, he could have completely turned the tide.

Of course, such discussions inevitably involved Meng Yu. As the number one Qi Refinement Realm practitioner in the Immortal Sect (at least according to the internet), many were puzzled as to why such an important mission didn't include Meng Yu?

Many rulers of Minor Worlds without transcendent powers, even if they possessed armies of tens of thousands, would always prepare a contingent of heavy cavalry.

This army only had a few hundred men, yet the military expenditure, material resources, and so on often surpassed that of an army of tens of thousands. Yet, if you do not have a unit of heavy cavalry, when you wish to break through the battle lines, you will find the process unbearably painful, and sometimes you might even lose because of that.

If...

Suppose...

What if...

Someone was stirring up emotions, flinging mud at Meng Yu.

I heard that this time Star Industrial suffered a huge loss, and many people were going down. Right, Star Industrial's largest shareholder is surnamed Wang. That Wang Youcai who got taken care of, seems like his real dad is Star Industrial's director or something.

Ah, Meng Yu really didn't tell Zhuge Caihua about this, he felt it was unnecessary, but looking at it now, Wang Youcai had his chance for revenge.

Heh heh, heh heh.

Watching your nemesis's family ruined and annihilated, it really does feel exhilarating.

What's even more exhilarating is that Meng Yu had always been troubled by how he could rightfully sever ties with the Immortal Sect and embark on a criminal path, but now it seemed that the opportunity had arrived.

...

The days continued, Morning Star Second-Tier Microcosm.

"Meng Yu, what do you think of that battle?"

Meng Yu's business of sparring, battle assistance, and strategic discussions, being of excellent quality and reasonable price, had already become widely praised, and some even made special trips to Meng Yu's assignment location, just to have a bout with him.

Before the battle today, Meng Yu's opponent, a certain Foundation Establishment practitioner, asked curiously.

"The commander lacks ability, accumulates the weakness of all three armies, Zhao Yuxiang has many problems with her command..."

Anyone can pick faults, so you allow yourselves to smear me, but don't allow me to criticize the dead? Zhao Yuxiang, you lost, so of course it's your incompetence!

Even if Meng Yu knew that the personnel from the Enforcement Hall accompanying him would send these videos back, he didn't care.

If he showed tears and lament at this moment, would it make the Zhao family and Star Industrial (the main investor of the Scorpio Minor World) let him off the hook?

Keep dreaming. Zhao Yuxuan loved his sister so much; he would rather admit his mistakes and bow his head. He made such a good impression that day, so when his sister died, wouldn't he be outraged?

Meng Yu would bet that mad dog was likely hiring assassins to kill him by now, or looking for some excuse to send him on his next business trip to a Third Grade World, where a Golden Core could silently finish him off!

As Meng Yu spoke, the surrounding Foundation Establishment practitioners listened. Meng Yu analyzed the course of battle in an orderly fashion, earning widespread praise. After all, who was better at Qi Refinement realm battles than Meng Yu?

After the discussion came the fight, the usual fee was still five hundred thousand per person, but before the battle, Meng Yu glanced at the person ranked third in line.

His surname was Guo; the records showed he was at the early stages of Foundation Establishment, and he primarily practiced a cultivation technique related to the General's Token.

Generally, Meng Yu's opponents were at the early stages of Foundation Establishment. He would refuse higher-level opponents unless he felt the person was very nice, had a great figure, a beautiful face, and a slender waist – a pretty big sister at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. Otherwise, he would decline.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

This person, Meng Yu sensed something was off.

He had concealed his cultivation level.
