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

"We even left you a whole bunch of beauties to handle!"

After slaying the majority of the Golden Cores, eighty-eight Golden Cores used a dazing, soul-calming formation to knock out all the remaining ones. As a result, nine Golden Core beauties survived, becoming Meng Yu's prisoners, Yuan Zi Yu being one of them. She's now inquiring about the fates of the other eight, as well as others.

One hour later, she, bearing a constraint and without weapons, followed Grand Carp Immortal and came before a small plane.

This place was originally a seclusion spot for an elder of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, but after Meng Yu's renovations, it became a prison for the female captives of the sect.

Inside, the beauties were diligently working.

...

The small plane was actually not small at all, covering a vast hundred square kilometers, plus it was connected to the spirit veins of the main plane, featuring pleasant scenery and various facilities.

A group of beauties thought every day, besides their necessary work, about how to escape, but no matter what, it seemed impossible.

They had been imprisoning for two years already.

Besides the eight female Golden Cores who had been captured, there were dozens of Foundation Establishment cultivators. Everyone was steadfast and unyielding, never bowing their heads... except for that damned traitor, Yuan Zi Yu!

Yuan Zi Yu had surrendered, and then Meng Yu took her away. That brainless fool, actually believed what Meng Yu said, that as long as she surrendered and cooperated, she could be released?

How could such good fortune be true? The sects of the Western Wastes, including the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, would only squeeze their captured Golden Cores to death before eventually killing them.

Meng Yu would never allow a Golden Core to leave the Moon-Watching Sect safely. At best, he would loosen the dog chain around Yuan Zi Yu's neck a bit, turning her from a slave into a pet.

If that's the case, what's the point of surrendering?

Meng Yu hadn't mistreated everyone. The environment in this Grotto Heaven was excellent, with a Spiritual Spring, a Spirit Well, and spirit veins. Each person had their own villa, and after completing the day's work of talisman making, alchemy, etc., they could move freely and play.

However, this didn't mean everyone was free. Parts of their souls had been extracted; malicious constraints were implanted in their divine sense. They could carry out actions like alchemy and talisman making, but don't even think about intense fighting. As for attacking the guards outside?

If anything even slightly amiss occurred, the constraints would activate, causing dizziness, ringing ears, even extreme pain leading to death by self-explosion. Additionally, several Third Grade Magical Instruments forming Great Formations within this Grotto Heaven could suppress and kill everyone at any moment.

Everyone once collectively protested, requesting to see Meng Yu, to talk... and then everyone was flipped over, with Hu Qingquan wielding a whip and viciously beating them for three days, declaring you aren't worthy.

Okay, they don't understand that this is a prison system imported by Meng Yu from the Immortal Sect. However, they do know that Meng Yu has spared everyone's feelings. Daily life didn't involve being humiliated or dragged out to entertain guests. All that was required was to complete a certain amount of work in talisman making, Artifact Refining, and alchemy each day. Achieve that, and you'd get corresponding rewards. Fail, and, well, don't blame us for being impolite.

Hu Qingquan and Bu Shixian are by no means merciful beings. In front of Meng Yu, they are only submissively devoted because they've been subdued. They really torment their enemies to death, and the captives are no exception. "You once came to annihilate my entire family; I still remember it."

Days passed by one after another; everyone encouraged each other, saying we lost our freedom, but we kept our dignity... and actually, surrendering isn't impossible. It's just that whenever everyone recalled the cruel treatment of those surrendered Golden Cores, it sent chills down their spines.

Qi Cultivators, Foundation Establishment practitioners can surrender, but Golden Cores... hahaha...

And yet, there are those who harbor their own schemes, thinking the first to surrender will be despised. Only by refusing several times can one make the other party respect their character and value them more.

But why... why after a year and a half has Meng Yu still not come to see us, and why has not a single sister been dragged out and humiliated by him?

Why do you ignore us after we refuse you once?

Did you forget about us?

A person, when passionate, can do anything, but if they calm down and ponder for a while, they might change their minds and even make a complete turnaround.

Of course, among this group, there are those who still genuinely hate Meng Yu, but no one can ignore one fact: it was the Sky-splitting Sword Sect that launched multiple attacks on the Moon-Watching Sect, intent on annihilation!

Two years, and no news from outside has reached us; we just silently work and work and continue to work here, not knowing what has happened on the outside.

Only Yuan Zi Yu's portrait on the wooden target is covered with scars.

"Yuan Zi Yu is here to visit you all."

A message arrived, and suddenly everyone inside was extremely excited.

Everyone looked at each other, spreading out to put on their finest clothes, arranged their most stunning expressions, and with heads held high and chests puffed out, went to confront the traitor.

Humph, two years. Let's see what Meng Yu has trained her into, probably just like a dog!

Then, everyone saw her, Yuan Zi Yu, unchanged from the past, entering with several disciples of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect.

Having not seen her for two years, her bearing and state hadn't changed much. Then, she looked at these former sisters, sisters-in-law, and sect mates with deep remorse...
