Chapter 0260
Luckily, Ye Jingming stayed behind and Wu Yu was barely able to keep up with him .
"To be honest, your speed is truly impressive . When I was at the third tier of the Jindan Dao Realm, I wasn't at half your current speed . I heard that you obtained the inheritance of the Transformative Daoist . I'm really jealous of you . There will probably be Shushan Sword Sages who will take you as a disciple shortly," Ye Jingming exclaimed .
"Senior Brother Ye, you are too courteous . " Wu Yu enjoyed his current carefree status .
Ye Jingming continued, "Don't be resentful of their attitude . After all, this mission is really important to them . My senior brother, He Taozi, initially wanted to look for another seventh tier Jindan Dao cultivator and give him 700 merit points as reward . Your appearance was beyond his expectations . Therefore, they aren't very comfortable with you around . Please don't blame them for it . With regard to your talents, we still recognize it!"
After hearing Ye Jingming's explanation, Wu Yu could understand them .
He followed the flow and asked, "In other words, this mission will be very prickly? Is the demon very strong?"
Ye Jingming answered, "That's not entirely true . The main issue is that there are too many uncertainties . The information we have gathered came solely from the city lord of Qingsang City . The city lord of Qingsang City is a fifth tier Jindan cultivator . Based on his exchange with the demon, he was defeated in a single move . After which, he fled . That demon wasn't able to kill him directly . This shows that the demon should be below the seventh tier of the Yaodan Realm . Other than that, we have no other information on that demon . Even that city lord claimed that he didn't get a good look of the demon .
"The reason why the reward for this mission is so high is because of the brutality of the demon . Other than that, it might be because of the other unknowns . For example, the demon might have companions . Qingsang City is near Shushan after all . Ordinary demons wouldn't barge in alone . "
Wu Yu finally understood the situation .
"Why are you explaining to him? It's just a waste of your energy!" Gu Hongming turned back and grumbled unhappily .
This person probably saw Wu Yu as a thorn in his eyes after Wu Yu taunted him . He had probably only made it to where he was through extremely tough training . Therefore, he was jealous of Wu Yu, who had inherited the legacy of Transformative Daoist and shot to fandom!
As the Galaxy Sword Sage did not take Wu Yu in as a disciple, Wu Yu's status wasn't great at all . Otherwise, Gu Hongming would be lowering his head in front of him .
In front of the pack, He Taozi chided, "Stop quarreling . Save your energy for when you are slaying the demons!"
"Let's focus on flying . Let's focus on flying . " Ye Jingming smiled awkwardly .
Wu Yu had a rough idea in mind and didn't intend to converse much with them .
All he wanted was the 500 merit points . As for the others, he did not wish to be part of it .
Soon, their journey got tougher as they had to fly within the clouds . After approximately eight to nine days, they finally dropped below the clouds . It seemed like they were almost at Qingsang City .
Looking down from the clouds, Wu Yu could pick up a bloody scent . Looking ahead, a large river was flowing rapidly That huge river started in the direction of Shushan and brought Shushan's spiritual qi along . At a bend of the river, there was a large, dull green city . That was none other than Qingsang City .
There were various cities on the heavenly continent . These cities were different from cities of the mortal realm . For example, Qingsang City, East Imperial Kingdom, and others were all cultivation cities . The difference between cities and sects was that cities had an open concept . As long as one fulfilled the requirements, he would be allowed into the city to engage in trade, entertainment, and other activities .
Typical cities were under the jurisdiction of the city lord . A city lord had a similar status as the sect leader of a sect .
The largest city on the heavenly continent was none other than Yan Huang Imperial City! That was the core of the heavenly continent! At the same time, it was the center of various trades, businesses, and conventions . It was also where countless cultivators wished to be at .
Qingsang City wasn't huge . On a typical day, approximately 2,000 martial cultivators would be in it . It was the most lively place in the radius of a thousand miles .
However, the group could already pick up a deathly scent before reaching it . It was clear that the place had already turned into a city for the dead .
"Let's get down!" He Taozi frowned and gave his orders . Six cultivators from Shushan dashed down at once . Each one of them was young and talented, making them even more impressive .
Wu Yu soon found himself above the city . Looking down, most of the buildings in the city had collapsed . Blood was everywhere and had dried up into black blood clots on the ground . The streets were disordered with corpses piled up on the streets . Each one of them had horrified expressions just before they died . Taking a closer look, one could indeed see a hole in their chests . Their hearts had been gouged out .
"What kind of demon would be so brutal!" Ye Jingming growled angrily, his eyes bloodshot .
"Go lower and take a look! Search for clues! Split up and start working . " He Taozi was still highly efficient . Without wasting a second, he immediately made his arrangements .
Since they were separating, Wu Yu chose the edge of the region after seeing them take one region each .
When they landed and just before they separated, there were also other people rushing over . That group of cultivators descended from the skies too and had four members . Among which, one of them wore an elegant, dull green armor . However, he was covered in filth and he looked extremely unkempt . He brought his subordinates along and they went on their knees in tears . "I, this lowly one, am the city lord of Qingsang City . Greetings to the various sword immortals from Shushan! You guys are finally here . You have to seek grievances for the 2,000 other martial cultivators for us . Please slay that demon!"
The four of them wailed loudly .
He Taozi was apathetic and chided, "Stand up! Stop crying there! Tell me all the details of this incident . Everything you know! Don't you dare hide anything!"
The four of them were the only survivors of Qingsang City .
