ng Yu found himself beset by internal and external troubles.
The external pressures don't bear ntioning, as various powers all had their covetous eyes trained on him.
As for internally, after Mirror Twelve achieved Divinity Transformation, ng Yu had not gone to see him, nor had he co to the world enveloped by the Third Order Law to see ng Yu.
It was as if after a Great General conquered an enemy nation, the days when the two were closely bonded, even sharing life-and-death experiences, seed to have ended, and now, they only communicated through letters.
ng Yu greatly admired those who kept their promises at the cost of their lives, fearing death too little himself, though there was a distinction between a noble death and a foolish one.
Mirror Twelve was a good person, soone with ideals, morals, and a willingness to fight for his beliefs, but such a person could sotis be very troubleso.
He could be your best comrade-in-arms or your fiercest enemy; he could brave life and death for you or sternly hold you to account!
Because you always had to answer one question: why would soone follow you?
To save the multitude, they brave death with you, but for your glory and wealth? Why wouldn't they do it themselves?
Mirror Twelve wouldn't care how many Golden Elixir Big Sisters ng Yu slept with, nor how many people from the Cultivation World ng Yu hard, even if ng Yu killed innurably and was cruel and ruthless—those were, to Mirror Twelve, rely ng Yu's personal hobbies.
In their correspondence, Mirror Twelve was amiable, saying that achieving Divinity Transformation was really an accident and that he would definitely keep his promise; ng Yu could be assured.
However, ng Yu had to answer a question to the newly transcended Divinity, Mirror Twelve.
Why would he uphold his promise and follow ng Yu back to the Immortal Sect or obey him instead of staying at the Old Immortal Gate and establishing his own rule?
The mont Mirror Twelve returned to being a Divinity, ng Yu greatly doubted if the Moon God Contract was still effective.
Of course, it was very likely that Mirror Twelve wouldn't pose this question and would fulfill his promise, but ng Yu had to be prepared!
And in the midst of this, a slight oddity had already been noticed by soone.
ng Yu furrowed his brow.
"Spirit Rice, huh, is it scarce in the city? Is the Myriad Gold Pavilion preparing to sell a batch to ?"
Recently, Sleepless City faced a slight deficit in Spirit Rice supply. Although the basic supply hadn't ceased, as batch after batch of prominent figures ca to Sleepless City, combined with a panic ntality, it led to a 30% increase in the free market price of Spirit Rice.
Master Huo laughed and said nothing.
In the Cultivation World, Sect conflicts often started with groundwork laid decades, even a century in advance, with various pieces and strategies prepared; very few were like ng Yu's forceful approach.
When internal turmoil began in the northwest of the Cultivation World, the Myriad Gold Pavilion, targeted by ng Yu's tactics, employed all sorts of thods, including hoarding of supplies and stirring up civil strife. Even rumors of ng Yu's grain shortage in Sleepless City were partially spread by them.
If you can fight, then you can set terms. If you don't show you can hurt your opponent, then once they gather their wits, you're the next target!
"Also, I heard a rumor."
The female Golden Elixir continued with a smile, revealing a piece of news.
"The True Lords from Ten Directions Demon Subduing Hall will soon co here to investigate the differences between Blood God Sect and Blood Demon Sect, and understand the scenes where disciples of Ten Directions were slain. I've heard many rumors, Young Master ng, you're called a demon from the Demon Gate."
Hua Miaochai, who was accompanying the drink, frowned slightly. The elders of the Moon-Watching Sect all knew this was a sore spot for ng Yu!
After Song Wuqiu's sword nearly destroyed the Moon-Watching Sect, ng Yu, after winning, severely punished the forces of the Ten Directions Demon Subduing Hall in the Western Wastes, leaving no prisoners alive, rcilessly killing them all and warning the major Sects of the Western Wastes that any individual or Sect that colluded with the Ten Directions Demon Subduing Hall would be annihilated. As for the Ten Directions Demon Subduing Hall itself, he would seek justice!
This was also why, on the Ascension List, after ng Yu revealed his identity, whether it was the White Fox or the ancestors of the Demon Gate, they all accepted ng Yu very easily.
"You're quite eloquent."
ng Yu glanced at the outspoken female Golden Elixir, suddenly reminded of a female classmate from his ti at Azure Star.
Many people encounter one or two boisterous tomboys who always pride themselves on their forthright personalities, speaking bluntly, unable to tolerate even a speck of sand in their eyes; ng Yu's classmate was just like that, priding herself on her integrity.
They break up with you because you didn't give a gift on Qixi Festival, citing how you're not striving hard enough, so why should anyone look up to you, and so forth.
That was her straightforwardness, always standing by her fellow female classmates, of course, also gaining countless advantages, ddling in nurous marriages.
As for criticizing her, if you were powerful, she'd say her mouth was foul and easily offended people, urging you not to take it to heart; if you were weak, she'd curse even more venomously.
ng Yu really disliked these kinds of people.
"Do you admire the Ten Directions Demon Subduing Hall?"
"The Ten Directions Demon Subduing Hall swept away the demons, winning admiration from all, isn't that normal?"
"Do I have a grudge with you?"
ng Yu looked at her.
"How could that be, Young Master ng, this is our first eting, just straightforward talk, you should thank for notifying you of this news."
The boisterous female Golden Elixir said with a smiling tone, adding one more comnt.
"Song Wuqiu, is she doing well now?"
ng Yu suddenly felt a bit amused.
That female classmate later on did quite well; there were always many who needed soone like her as a loudspeaker, many unwilling to offend her, thus gaining many opportunities, and even being straightforward was admired by many young people, appearing suprely confident and remarkably successful at reunions.
