Chapter 0259: 0259
He Taozi didn't seem to want to introduce the team members to Wu Yu .
It was likely that in his eyes, Wu Yu was just a person who had managed to join the team to get some cheap merit points through connections .
Wu Yu didn't have a good impression of this group of people either . However, for his 500 merit points, he disregarded his personal feelings .
Among the five people, the young sword cultivator in the white robe with white clouds embroidered on it took the initiative and started introducing the members to Wu Yu . He pointed to He Taozi and said, "This is Senior Brother He Taozi . I believe you should recognize him, so I won't delve too deep . He is the hall master of He Tao Hall and someone at the seventh tier of the Jindan Dao Realm . He ranked in the top-20s on the Leaderboard of Swords and Immortals in the past . He is also my senior brother . Our master is a Heaven sword rank disciple . Let me introduce myself first . I'm Ye Jingming . You can just address me as Senior Brother Ye . "
Among the five of them, only Ye Jingming was a little more amiable and approachable .
After which, he introduced the other man . "He is Gu Hongming . He's a really skilled sword cultivator and I'm not a match for him . He is also a genius-level character . You can just address him as Senior Brother Gu . Senior Brother Gu is a little direct . Just don't interrupt him when he's speaking . You will get used to it . "
Just as he finished his words, Gu Hongming sneered . "I'm indeed direct . This mission is really important . What we need is an important helper and not a burden that is assigned in due to connections . You aren't even a Huang sword rank disciple! I'm ashamed to be in the same team as you!"
His words directly attacked Wu Yu .
Indeed, there were people who felt that Wu Yu wasn't qualified . Moreover, they were part of the team .
Naturally, this was to be expected . Gu Hongming was clearly a proud person and hated those who relied on connections to get their way .
Wu Yu remained composed and answered, "It seems like Senior Brother Gu has concerns about my strength . What Senior Brother Gu might not know is that if we really fight, Senior Brother Gu might not be a match for me . "
He said it in an apathetic way, but his words were extremely arrogant . He instantly shocked the crowd . Gu Hongming was completely stunned when he heard Wu Yu . Soon, it was as though he had suffered the greatest shame of his life . He slapped the table, stood up, and was prepared to flare up . He Taozi stared at him from his seat and remarked, "Gu Hongming, if you disregard rules and start a fight with the other team members, I'll have to ask you to leave . "
"Tsk . Don't you dare push your luck with me . Otherwise, I'll make sure you have a horrible experience!" Gu Hongming growled angrily .
It seemed like he didn't want to give up on this opportunity either .
Wu Yu smiled faintly and didn't say another word . However, his previous remark made the other five understand that he wasn't willing to be bullied by others .
Although He Taozi was cold, he was one who held up the rules firmly . This was a good thing .
Ye Jingming smiled awkwardly and continued introducing the other two ladies . Wu Yu learned that the orange attire alluring lady was Su Qing . The other cold-looking lady was Gong Yangxue . They were all disciples of Heaven sword rank disciples and had illustrious histories within the Common Sword Domain in the past .
"Oh, Wu Yu, your Senior Sister Su has witnessed your performances at the Mountain of Swords and Immortals . You are indeed incredible and shocking . However, Senior Brother Gu is your senior after all and is older than you . You shouldn't offend him . After all, we are a team," Su Qing said in a coquettish tone .
Wu Yu smiled faintly and replied, "Senior Sister Su is right . I was wrong just now . However, I would like to make a point clear . Since I'm here, I will definitely contribute my strength and won't simply hope to take advantage of you guys . You guys can just wait and see . "
The crowd pursed their lips and didn't say another word . However, Wu Yu knew that they definitely still saw him as someone who had gotten here through connections to gain experience .
An ordinary dan disciple who wasn't even a Huang sword rank disciple couldn't really help them out . Yet, he was going to take up 500 merit points!
He Taozi was the leader of this group of five people . Ye Jingming, Gu Hongming, Su Qing, and Gong Yangxue were all outstanding Huang sword rank disciples . Their futures would very likely lead them to become Heaven sword rank disciples . In the worst case, they would at least be Earth sword rank disciples .
At this point, He Taozi waved his hand impatiently . "Alright, don't argue in front of me . Listen up!"
He coughed a few times and put on a strong front . After which, he remarked, "The Path of Immortals is boundary-less with countless sects, cities, and clans in the vicinity that are affiliated with our sect . A while ago, we received news from a city called Qingsang City from the city lord . That city lord was a cultivator that went under the umbrella of our sect . Therefore, this piece of news is definitely accurate .
"On a night half a month ago, a horrifying demon arrived in the city . In just one night, over 2,000 cultivators were massacred . Only a few lucky survivors escaped . Based on their account, those who had died with grievances had their hearts dug out in an extremely brutal way . That scene looked like it came out of the depths of hell and was extremely pitiful! Up to this day, no one has dared to enter Qingsang City!"
This was mainly for Wu Yu, since the rest probably knew about this information .
Wu Yu listened quietly . Although he had made some preparations, he was frowning right now . He had not expected such a massacre to happen on the heavenly continent . Obviously, this was because of his lack of experience . Such events were, in fact, not rare .
He Taozi continued, "The city lord of Qingsang City reported to Shushan, and Shushan has listed this as a mission . I've managed to snatch it first . We definitely must capture the demon culprit and bring it to justice in memorial to the 2,000 cultivators' souls . "
