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

"I can't stop now, no matter how good your terms are."

"From swords to plowshares, you've mobilized everything—the warships of the main temple are activated, cultivators are assembled. It has come to this point; let's not talk about any misunderstandings."

"Either I do nothing, or I go all out. The Mi Family from Myriad Gold Pavilion, I'm definitely not letting them off this time."

Though Myriad Gold Pavilion offered very favorable terms, Meng Yu wouldn't even listen. There were still six months left until the Ascension List closed, and if he fell for a delaying tactic now, he'd be the biggest fool under the heavens.

"Is that so?"

True Monarch Yu Xia sighed, the outcome of today's encounter unsurprising. Their purpose in coming was to delay her with talk until half a year passed, for as soon as the Ascension List closed down, Myriad Gold Pavilion's problems would be behind them. Without instant communication, cutting the network made everything manageable.

Unfortunately for them, Meng Yu wasn't falling for it.

"You're going out to wreck havoc again after this?"

Looking at Meng Yu, who carried two swords on his back, True Monarch Yu Xia was full of frustration.

This shameless Meng Yu, just because his combat technique was extremely powerful at the Great Perfection stage of Foundation Establishment, behaved like a monkey online every day, bullying people.

"Idle hands are the devil's playthings, Sister Yu Xia. You're too old-fashioned."

Meng Yu said with a mischievous smile, "At this point, it's certain that the Mi Family is doomed to collapse. Sister Yu, you need to think about your own family."

Meng Yu's voice was filled with sincerity, "Myriad Gold Pavilion is like a sinking ship. The question now is, do you want to go down with it, or do you start anew and establish a different alliance?"

"You're talking nonsense. Myriad Gold Pavilion has stood for nearly ten thousand years, weathering countless storms. Your schemes have merely caused a little bit of trouble, you..."

True Monarch Yu Xia was also sneering, but Meng Yu simply shook his head.

"Alright. I thought this would be a dignified discussion, but since you keep harping on, forget it. Goodbye."

The meeting between the two lasted only three minutes, a few words were exchanged, and then... this person is just going to walk out without any hesitation?

Who does he think he is?

"Ancestor."

A reminder came from her disciple's ear—the one from the family with the most business acumen, a certain genius. And True Monarch Yu Xia also recalled his analysis.

Myriad Gold Pavilion's greatest crises in history weren't due to the strength of enemies but internal divisions. This time was the same.

A brand, a company—no matter how splendid its past, once it fails to make money and keeps losing, it has to be shut down, and now, Myriad Gold Pavilion's brand value had turned negative.

There were still about half a year left before the Ascension List closed. During this time, Meng Yu would use his unique powers and methods to have heart-to-heart talks with every user who logged on, sharing relevant information. Soon, more and more cultivators would choose to loathe Myriad Gold Pavilion.

Even the most humble cultivator has the dignity not to make purchases, not to mention there were other trading companies to choose from.

For a trading company, what would be the outcome if everyone stopped buying things from them and exchanged their funds, their spirit stones, elsewhere?

Such a situation was unthinkable, but under the combined effects of the Ascension List and Meng Yu, it had happened!

"Meng Yu, I may be a bit impatient, but I still want to have a discussion with you. After all, you were willing to see me, weren't you?"

Forcing a faint smile, True Monarch Yu Xia attempted to retain Meng Yu.

"No, no. My visit today was simply to see that face of yours that wishes me dead yet has to put on a smile."

Meng Yu laughed, flying past True Monarch Yu Xia, reached out and pinched her cheek.

"Sister smells wonderful, just don't you die."
