Conceited Meridians God - C104

Du Yun City was the captain of a small team in the Zither Sound City. The dozen or so low-level Body Tempering Cultivators he led lived in the Zither Sound City doing mercenary jobs for themselves. Du Yun City had a cultivation base at the end of the third meridian, so they could be considered experts in his little team. The entire team had three experts at the 3rd meridian stage, and the rest were at the 1st and 2nd meridian stage!

Du Yun City originally heard that there was a group of big shots in the Zither Sound City recently. They were generous and prepared to recruit people, so they hastily tossed over a mission they were carrying out and rushed back to the city. He never expected that the employers had already left. Du Yun City was very disappointed!

However, it just so happened that there was a group of unknown cultivators rushing into the Zither Sound City. They wanted to hire a group of experts to do one thing! After hearing that the reward wasn’t bad, Du Yun City took his team and accepted the mission.

Later on, Du Yun City heard that the person who had rushed into the city and issued the mission was from a cultivation sect called Aquatic Sword Sect! Although Du Yun City’s cultivation wasn’t high, they had been muddling along in the Zither Sound City all year round. They had heard of the name Aquatic Sword Sect!

“They said that this mission is only to head to the Vast Sky Mountain and watch the wind at the foot of the heart mountain. That’s all!”

Du Yun City seemed to be quite disdainful of that. “It’s just that in our little team, they already paid five thousand silver taels. Very, very clearly, this matter is definitely not such a simple, ordinary mission! There might be more dangers! ”

Du Yun City’s worries were indeed true. As soon as they stepped into the boundaries of the Azure Sky Mountain Range and dispersed with the other teams, they had already heard about the other teams being ambushed by the mysterious cultivators from the other mountains!

Du Yun City seemed to care about this very much, “This matter is very strange, someone ambushed our people! These people were not easy to deal with! We have no more than a hundred people. Let’s gather and move forward together. ”

However, the people around them did not think much of it. They continued to act according to their own teams! For those people, the mission that their employer had given them was just to make a trip to the Vast Sky Mountain and cause a ruckus at the foot of the heart of the mountain!

One could easily get a reward of several thousand taels of silver just by walking around. This was something that was very easy for those who worked as a laborer for a living! He didn’t pay much attention to the surrounding people ambushing them and harassing them. In their opinion, before the matter had fallen on them, they were in no danger.

Du Yun City seems to be very angry at the other small teams around him. However, he has no other way. After all, those small teams are not related to his small team! Their strengths were about the same, there was no reason for them to listen to the commands of Du Yun.

Du Yun City brought his group of ten or so people and slowly walked through the silent wilderness of the mountains. Not far from them, there were a few other groups of people hired by the Aquatic Sword Sect. Everyone’s destination was the foot of the Vast Sky Mountain’s heart tree gate!

The mission that the Aquatic Sword Sect had given them only required them to reach the foot of the mountain, shout at the heart of the tree and provoke it. Thus, at the very beginning, there were a few small teams of cultivators who were rushing forward in a hurry. In the end, they received the news of someone ambushing them, and several small teams were completely annihilated! Everyone suddenly slowed down their pace. They finally had some connection with each other!

“Brother Du, I think we should go back now?” A companion walked to the side of Du Yun and looked at him worriedly, “Anyway, those people from Aquatic Sword Sect do not know that we did not reach the depths of the Vast Sky Mountain, but instead went to the foot of the Treeheart Sect! “Looking at the silence in the wilderness, there’s no one here. Just now, another small team sent news over and got killed by a bunch of mysterious people.”

Du Yun City’s face darkened as he shook his head and sighed, “Do you think that the people of Aquatic Sword Sect are fools? Have any of us been to the foot of the heart of the mountain? If we don’t reach the boundary, they won’t give us the remaining silver taels! “Let’s go, we should be careful. Let’s contact the other teams more often and grasp a bit more information. Don’t let down our guard.”

Ah!” Du Yun City hadn’t even finished speaking when a miserable cry suddenly came from behind them. Following that, there was a burst of movement in the forest and the forest returned to its previous tranquility!

“Something has happened!” Du Yun City had yet to open his mouth, but the small group of cultivators beside him had already rushed towards the scene of the incident. Du Yun City had caught up. As he forcefully parted the crowd, he discovered that it was actually a Second Meridian Stage low-level cultivator walking at the very end of the group. His head had been cut off, and he was hanging on top of a tree! Fresh blood dripped down, causing the expressions of the surrounding people to change!

Du Yun City’s gaze flickered. A cultivator beside him exclaimed, “He didn’t even have time to react before he was beheaded! Look, his right hand is still holding onto the hilt of the long saber at his waist. He didn’t even have the time to pull it out! ”

Du Yuncheng lightly shook his head. Even though this low-level cultivator with his head cut off wasn’t one of the people in his squad, the miserable state he was in and the location of his death made people’s hair stand on end!

A cold wind blew through the quiet and desolate mountain forest. All of the cultivators that were surrounding the headless corpse suddenly shouted in unison, turned around, and quickly ran forward.

“Why don’t they go back?” Du Yun City’s team was one of the few teams that didn’t get scared. The team member who was talking to Du Yun City earlier looked in the direction everyone was running in with a puzzled expression.

Du Yun City snorted, “Isn’t it all because of the silver? They wanted to hurry to the foot of the mountain of the core sect, finish the mission of the Aquatic Sword Sect, and then go back to collect the remaining half of the silver! A human’s heart is not like a snake swallowing an elephant; all of them are greedy and stingy people! ”

The squad member looked at Du Yun City with a strange expression and said hesitantly, “Then Brother Du, should we head back, or go forward with them? This was the central region of the Azure Sky Mountain, and it was still a distance away from the deepest parts of the Azure Sky Mountain! Along the way, no one knew what accidents would happen! I’ve just asked around, and along the way, we’ve already lost 30% of our men! More than thirty of them had died at the hands of the group of mysterious cultivators! They had disappeared without a trace! Among those killed, there are no lack of Fourth Meridian Stage experts! ”

Du Yun City sneered, “So what? They died because of their arrogance. They thought that no one would be able to deal with these people as they walked through the forest! As long as we are careful, nothing will happen to us! Why did those people appear and disappear all of a sudden? Isn’t it because of the face-off, that makes us weaker? “
