ng Yu sighed, then sighed again.
"Can you tell the truth, my lord?"
"Don't say too much, just a little is fine."
ng Yu waved his hand, signaling Lan Qiong to leave.
Of course, no one knew his true thoughts at the mont.
What to do when two tables' worth of people show up for a table of food?
Although ng Yu had known about the Ascension List before, due to the lack of information, by the ti the Golden Core army arrived, he realized that several events had collided, and moreover, Mirror Twelve had achieved Divinity Transformation.
In such circumstances, he could only take one step at a ti.
Feeling the scarcity of intelligence, ng Yu even had to engage in extensive exchanges with the demons from the Eternal Night Palace within the Ascension List—seeing ng Yu so full of confidence, the Eldest Princess and others had to swallow their pride to extract intelligence, but for ng Yu, it was also very worrying.
The turn of events took him by surprise, the battle growing ever larger, and the active involvent of Myriad Gold Pavilion left ng Yu speechless—them throwing three Nascent Souls at once, what if next ti it might escalate to Divinity Transformations or even full legions?
At any ti, one should ideally avoid fighting on two fronts, but now that it was unavoidable, ng Yu certainly had to try everything to stall the Eternal Night Palace.
Whether it was sacrificing himself in bed, gentle whispers coupled with various supplies, or even now, intimidating the Eternal Night Palace, it was all part of the plan.
Only a fool would think of mounting a frontal assault on the Eternal Night Palace, ng Yu's chief hope was that the palace would surrender voluntarily so that he could win without a fight, but Mu Venerable and his group, being prideful and also having various advantages, necessitated the use of other thods.
They feared because of the unknown, and ng Yu, for it was all for victory.
For example, this ti, when the Eldest Princess ca to seek intel, ng Yu secretly hoped she would surrender imdiately—if it could be confird, he would even agree to double the previous terms!
It was like during a siege, when the enemy's general demanded millions and then surrendered. Only a fool would refuse—it's rely the cost of an armored vehicle, while the real cost of a siege is astronomically higher.
However, ng Yu could never agree outright.
In the Cultivation World, human lives are worthless, cultivators are cheap, it's all about decisive killing, and it's a winner-takes-all world. Being too nice makes people suspicious and feel like you have ulterior motives.
Just like before, ng Yu was very accommodating, giving them chances ti and again, but they just dithered and hesitated, served ng Yu nicely but kept saying they needed a bit more ti!
They simply did not trust ng Yu's integrity, determined to keep the power in their hands!
So, this ti ng Yu responded with cold refusal.
ng Yu saw through them; unless they were pushed to the brink, they would always co up with tricks, so he had to keep applying extre pressure, otherwise today they'd talk of surrendering, tomorrow they'd have so issue, the day after they'd send a bunch of beauties, but they would still stubbornly refuse to surrender...
No one wanted to resolve the issue with the Eternal Night Palace quicker than ng Yu, but the problem was, a direct assault wasn't worth it, it wasn't right!
As for the Central Plains, knowing about the surrender of the Eternal Night Palace and then Myriad Gold Pavilion canceling their expeditionary force and thus barely surviving, ng Yu didn't care at all.
His base was in the Western Wastes, the northwest was just to build a reputation, what's most important now was to secure the victory first, devour the Eternal Night Palace. As for Myriad Gold Pavilion in the Central Plains, too far, too much to chew, then why bother killing the opponent swiftly?
Despite ng Yu's current glory, he felt as though he was treading on thin ice.
History has shown how many who held overwhelming advantages, who wanted to annihilate two enemies at once and refused to allow surrender, ended up dead and their clans destroyed!
Lan Qiong, although she didn't know his thoughts, she should complete the task, shouldn't she?
...
Six beauties walked toward the exit, only the Eldest Princess looked dejected. The girls from the Eternal Night Palace thought they were negotiating with ng Yu, excitedly discussing the recent events, just curious why, if they had decided to fight to the death, they should et again?
"Xiao Han."
Lan Qiong caught up with the Eldest Princess, "You don't have many chances left."
To deceive soone, one must choose the right envoy, and Lan Qiong was ng Yu's unwitting agent, used without her knowledge.
Today, when the three Nascent Souls t, Lan Qiong was serving on the side, and just coincidentally, the Eldest Princess broke in.
"Ah Lan!"
Seeing Lan Qiong, the Eldest Princess clutched at her like a lifeline.
"Ah Lan... please, tell the truth."
When Lan Qiong betrayed her sect, many voiced their desire to kill Lan Qiong's family and subordinates, but the Eldest Princess blocked them, her good friendship with Lan Qiong was clear, and she explicitly stated she would use her rit to protect them.
In private, she told her grandfather, Mu Venerable.
Things had progressed to this point, we knew nothing about ng Yu, and no matter what, Lan Qiong had beco a person close to ng Yu. What if we need her?
Then...
"Xiao Han..."
Lan Qiong glanced at the Eldest Princess and sighed deeply.
"Just now, the lord could not bear it and sent to find you."
Lan Qiong did not know ng Yu's plan, but she had witnessed the process of three major Nascent Souls visiting him.
"Just now, three major powers' Nascent Soul True Monarchs visited ng Yu, and they talked about the Myriad Gold Pavilion. Now, the Myriad Gold Pavilion is in big trouble."
ng Yu didn't allow her to say too much, so she hid the nas of the three Fox Clan Nascent Souls.
"The Myriad Gold Pavilion is dood, and you've chosen the worst possible option."
She had eavesdropped on the eting of the three major Nascent Souls today, and she explained the proceedings thoroughly, recounting everything she had heard in detail.
As for why Eternal Night Palace did not know the inside story, ng Yu had instructed his subordinates to block the people from Eternal Night Palace.
"The problem now is that the Myriad Gold Pavilion cannot save itself anymore. I'm not very clear about more details, but you've chosen the worst path. Ah Yu promised you so many tis, but you've reneged ti and again, and many in the Blood God Sect are very dissatisfied."
"Ah Lan..."
The face of the Eldest Princess turned extrely pale, and she was stuck.
"Ah, you know?"
Lan Qiong frowned; she had thought she would have to convince the Eldest Princess to believe.
"No, it's sothing else."
The Eldest Princess did not hide it and spoke of the affair involving the Mountain Guardian Elders, which indirectly proved how fearso ng Yu was.
The two of them could not quite understand those network terms, emotional attacks, but objectively, the smartest people felt the crisis.
"What should we do?"
"Wait a second."
Lan Qiong clicked on ng Yu's page and sent a ssage.
"Lord, Xiao Han is very regretful. Can she apologize to you?"
"No need, let her observe more. The affair with the Myriad Gold Pavilion has just begun. It will take a few more days to fernt completely, and even longer for them to face problems. Don't talk nonsense to save your face, what needed to be said has been said, so co back."
ng Yu replied with a bunch of words.
"Ah?"
The Eldest Princess carefully pondered these words.
"What are you pondering? Take people to see him."
Lan Qiong, a bit exasperated, pushed the Eldest Princess. "He said no need, and you just won't go? If I were you, I'd take everyone right now and kneel at his doorstep. The lord has a good temper, as long as you make him happy, everything's negotiable..."
She spoke on behalf of ng Yu. After all, she was from the Eternal Night Palace, and she vaguely guessed that ng Yu did not want to make a massive move. If she could persuade the Eldest Princess to surrender voluntarily, that would be much better.
The two talked, but they involuntarily discussed ng Yu's character.
Everyone talked about the fates of the prisoners of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, Yuan Ziyu, and those free disciples. They talked about all the promises ng Yu kept in the Sleepless City and, of course... also ntioned their previous intimacy with ng Yu, what you asked of him, as long as it wasn't too much, he would agree.
Actions speak louder than words, ever since ng Yu arrived in the Cultivation World, he had always maintained the behavior of a good man.
In crucial monts, many people are willing to believe you.
