Gu Yu opened his data template. The battle with Sanmei had consumed over 20 million contribution points, not including the contribution points he had gained from helping others recently. He was left with only contribution points.
At this rate of consumption, if another fierce battle were to occur, wouldn't his contribution points be reset to zero again?
At this moment, Mobei City is peaceful and tranquil, but the scene of the monster attack on the city not long ago is still vivid in people's minds, and they feel a chill down their spine whenever they think about it.
On this day, a plump lama came from the west, carrying a vajra in his hand, and strode into the city of Mobei.
"My disciple Baibo, your master has come to avenge you," the lama murmured.
"Master, is that you?" At this moment, a somewhat disheveled old man, who had obviously been waiting for a long time, stepped forward with great joy upon seeing the lama and said respectfully.
“Niu Wangzu, I’ve said it before, your aptitude is too poor. Although I taught you, you are not worthy to call me your teacher,” the lama said, clearly looking down on Niu Wangzu.
“Yes, Master… Zen Master Tala,” Niu Wangzu hurriedly replied.
"Who killed Bai Bo?" Tara asked, getting straight to the point.
"It's Gu Yu." When Niu Wangzu said Gu Yu's name, his eyes were full of hatred. Gu Yu had humiliated him in the gambling on stones, causing him to lose his fortune. He had invited Senior Brother Bai Bo, thinking that he could get revenge, but he never expected that Bai Bo would die at Gu Yu's hands. If he hadn't been quick-witted and run away, he would probably have become a dead soul under Gu Yu's blade as well.
What angered him most was that Gu Yu had actually become the hero who saved Mo City and was now deeply loved by the people of Mo City.
"Gu Yu?" Zen Master Tara frowned; clearly, he had never heard of such a person.
"Master Tara, you must stand up for Senior Brother Bai! You must kill that Gu Yu!" Niu Wangzu cried out. The reason he didn't say it was to stand up for himself was because in Master Tara's eyes, he was nothing. On the contrary, Bai Bo was Master Tara's beloved disciple. Given Tara's affection for Bai Bo, he would definitely tear Gu Yu to pieces.
"Do you know who Gu Yu is? Does he have any background?" As expected, Tara's expression was very ugly, and there was a hint of anger in her eyes. However, the person who could kill Bai Bo must be at the Chui Realm. Generally, Chui Realm people are the kind of people that various forces try to win over. Just in case, he had to find out if Gu Yu had any powerful backers. If he offended someone with a powerful backer, it would be very troublesome.
"Reporting to Zen Master Tara, Gu Yu's identity is very simple. He comes from an ordinary background and has no powerful backing. If there is anything he does have, it's that the city lord of Mo City and the commander of the city's guards both support him, after all, he is very strong. As for his strength, it must be due to some fortuitous encounter," Niu Wangzu said. He omitted the fact that Gu Yu saved Mo City, and as for Gu Yu joining the Dragon Clan and becoming a member of the Dragon Group, Niu Wangzu was unaware of that.
"Some extraordinary encounter?" Tara frowned.
“Yes! Senior Brother Bai said at the time that he must have obtained some powerful and ancient inheritance,” Niu Wangzu added.
"A powerful and ancient inheritance?" Tara frowned again. That made sense; an ordinary person suddenly becoming strong could very well have obtained an inheritance. "Where is he now?"
“I don’t know either.” Niu Wangzu shook his head.
"Useless trash." Upon hearing Niu Wangzu say he didn't know, Tara immediately released an aura that caused Niu Wangzu to stagger back several steps. Niu Wangzu's face immediately turned terrified.
"Master, please calm down! Master, please calm down!" Niu Wangzu hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, begging, "It was my fault for not doing things properly. Please forgive me, Master. Please forgive me, Master."
"Hmph!" The vajra in the hand of Zen Master Tara suddenly squatted down.
boom…………
A wave of air swept out instantly, and Niu Wangzu's body froze, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Master, spare my life! Master, spare my life! Although I don't know where Gu Yu is, I know where his family is. As long as we capture his family, Gu Yu will surely return!" Niu Wangzu hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Moreover, Master, you are new to this place and are not familiar with it, but I know this place well. I can lead the way for you. Master, you have traveled through wind and rain and slept in the open along the way. I heard that you like delicious food. I know all the delicacies in Mo City. Please spare my life, Master."
Tara frowned as she looked at Niu Wangzu, who was kowtowing and begging for mercy. He had a lifelong passion for delicious food, and it could be said that he would temporarily put aside everything else for a delicious meal. He was indeed not familiar with Mo City. "Take me to eat some delicious food."
“Yes, Zen Master.” Hearing Tara’s words, Niu Wangzu breathed a sigh of relief. He wiped the sweat from his brow, hurriedly stood up, and led the way. “Mocheng is most famous for its whole roasted lamb, a delicacy unparalleled in the world. And the most authentic whole roasted lamb in Mocheng is the ‘Whole Lamb First Grade.’ During the roasting process, the lamb’s fat and the heat blend together, releasing an irresistible aroma. This aroma is unique and captivating, making one linger. The taste is also incredibly rich, with both the delicate and delicious flavor of the lamb and the crispy yet soft skin. Every bite is a unique enjoyment…”
Niu Wangzu rattled off, making Tala swallow hard. Lamas don't encourage eating meat, but the Lamaism Tala belongs to doesn't prohibit it; on the contrary, it encourages it. Their motto is to cultivate the mind, not the mouth.
"Gu Yu, you get out here right now!" Gu Yu was cultivating when he suddenly heard someone shouting outside. He walked out of the Origin Qi cultivation room and frowned at Nangong Yang, who was shouting outside.
Most of the Dragon Division's buildings have been destroyed, with only three training rooms remaining intact. This is related to the building materials used in the training rooms, which are special, hard, and durable. Since the other students are on holiday, Gu Yu can only stay in the Origin Qi training room.
Meanwhile, outside the Dragon Palace, there were many construction workers rebuilding it. The Dragon Palace was a national institution, and many real estate developers were eager to contribute to the country. The government immediately announced the construction of the Dragon Palace, and real estate developers from all over the country volunteered to help.
Of course, the workers didn't know what the Dragon Department did; they only heard that it was a military academy, and that it had become what it is now because the research on a new weapon had failed and was destroyed.
Although this reason sounds very far-fetched to the general public, some people still believe it, after all, it is the official explanation.
"Nangong Yang, are you here to pay back a debt?" Gu Yu looked at Nangong Yang and the imposing manner of the people beside him, and knew that this guy was here to cause trouble. Upon closer inspection, it seemed that this guy had even written him an IOU! Before he was even in a hurry to collect the debt, the other party had already come to cause trouble.
“Father, it was he who extorted money from me, forced me to write loan shark IOUs, and even humiliated me in every way. He even crushed my arm,” Nangong Yang said to a middle-aged man beside him.
"You brat, you are utterly lawless! How dare you hurt my son!" Upon hearing Nangong Yang's words, the middle-aged man's aura surged forth. Faced with this overwhelming aura, Gu Yu's brows furrowed instantly. This middle-aged man was actually a Seven-Cone, a Handsome Realm expert. "Kneel down before me, kowtow and apologize, and cripple your own hands and legs."
“Hehe…” Gu Yu chuckled upon hearing the middle-aged man’s words. “You must be Nangong Honglie, the head of the Nangong family! You don’t even thank me for the kindness I’ve shown to your Nangong family! Instead, you’re threatening me here.”
"Gratitude?" Nangong Honglie was taken aback.
“If it weren’t for my Six Harmonies Demon-Suppressing Formation, your son would have died long ago. As for severing his arm, that was his own fault.” Gu Yu was fearless. In fact, he was Nangong Yang’s savior. The Nangong family not only didn’t appreciate him, but they even threatened him. This was like a dog biting Lü Dongbin, a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
"You brat, since you have the ability to protect everyone, why do you still want to take source stones? You are clearly taking advantage of the chaos, extorting money and profiting from the national crisis. Your behavior is utterly shameful, you are a disgrace to our human race, and you should be torn to pieces as a warning to others." Just then, a middle-aged man carrying a sword strode over, followed by Ling Juefeng and others whom Gu Yu did not recognize, although a few of them looked familiar, as they seemed to be the people who had written IOUs to Gu Yu.
"And who are you?" Gu Yu asked impatiently. He had collected source stones with those people, but in the end, when resisting Sanmei's deadly attack, he used up all the source stones to block the attack and save everyone's lives.
"Tianshan Sect, Lingxiao," the middle-aged man said proudly, as if his identity and name were something extraordinary.
“Ling Xiao?” Gu Yu was taken aback. “Never heard of him.”
“You brat, you’ve extorted the source stones from my family’s backers. Your behavior is despicable. You owe us an explanation,” another middle-aged man said.
"That's right, his behavior should be severely punished."
……………………………………
Immediately, a chorus of condemnation arose, causing Gu Yu to frown deeply, a surge of anger quietly rising within him.
"Hey, do you guys have any sense of reason? If it weren't for Gu Yu, your descendants would probably be ashes by now. You're still standing here so arrogantly, you'd probably be crying and wiping away tears right now!" At this moment, Shi Shuai, Yang Xinxin, and Ri Jiu walked over. Hearing what these people were saying, Yang Xinxin said angrily, "What is this? Isn't this repaying kindness with enmity?"
“Where did this little brat come from? It’s none of your business, so don’t meddle. Otherwise, you might offend someone you shouldn’t and get punished by your elders when you get home,” Nangong Honglie said.
"Who are you calling a brat?" Upon hearing Nangong Honglie's words, Yang Xinxin was instantly enraged. He was already somewhat angry about these people's behavior, and when they called him a brat, he erupted like a volcano.
She rushed towards Nangong Honglie in an instant, but Nangong Honglie simply waved his hand, and Yang Xinxin was immediately thrown back.
"Hmph! You ignorant brat." Nangong Honglie said disdainfully.
"Don't push your luck!" Gu Yu stepped forward with a dark expression, looking at everyone and speaking in an icy tone.
"Hmph! I'd like to see who's shameless." Upon hearing Gu Yu's words, everyone's expression darkened. Ling Xiao stepped forward directly, releasing a terrifying aura that forced Gu Yu to retreat repeatedly. His cultivation level was Eight Cones, Marquis Realm.
“I saved your descendants, and instead of being grateful, you threatened me. I set up the Six Directions Demon-Suppressing Array, which requires source stones. I don’t have enough source stones, so what’s wrong with asking those who want to seek protection for some source stones?” Gu Yu questioned.
"Then why did you make them write IOUs?" a middle-aged man retorted.
Gu Yu glanced at the familiar young men. He was now filled with regret. These people didn't have enough source stones, so he made them write IOUs. Out of pity for them, he didn't ask for interest. And now their elders were coming to cause him trouble. This was unbelievable! Did he think that just because he set up the formation, he should protect everyone for free? Why should he? He didn't owe these people anything. Besides, maintaining the Six Harmonies Demon-Suppressing Formation required source stones. He had already collected source stones from those who had them, and he wouldn't collect from those who didn't. What about those seeking protection who all said they didn't have source stones?
"I have never forced them to enter my formation. It was all voluntary. If they were unwilling to pay source stones or write an IOU, they were free to refuse to enter the formation and resist the blood-pulse pull themselves," Gu Yu said. "I have never forced them to enter the Six Directions Demon-Suppressing Formation."
"Hmph, that's sophistry. Since you have the ability to protect them, you should protect them," Ling Xiao said righteously. "With great power comes great responsibility."
"Heh..." Gu Yu laughed upon hearing Ling Xiao's words, his eyes filled with sarcasm. "What you said is very good, very true, I agree with you. So let me ask you, how many poor people have you helped become rich? How many children who can't afford to go to school have you helped go to school? The war in the Southwest Yuanmen is critical. With your cultivation level, Ling Xiao, and the foundation of the Tianshan Sect, you could definitely be of great help. Why didn't you go? Even if you didn't go, you could have provided resources. Did you do that? With great power comes great responsibility. Your abilities, Ling Xiao, and the abilities of each of you, your families, and sects, far exceed mine. Why have I never seen you fulfill your responsibilities?"
Why don't you share some cultivation resources with those who don't have them? Since you, Ling Xiao, are so noble, then please help those who cultivate diligently despite lacking resources!" Gu Yu said, word by word. He, Gu Yu, was not a selfless person, but compared to these people in front of him, he was far superior. They were full of moralistic rhetoric, standing on high ground to criticize others, but in reality, they were nothing.
"Well said," Shi Shuai agreed with Gu Yu's words.
“You…” Ling Xiao was speechless after Gu Yu’s words, but he said again, “None of this is a reason for you to extort money and take advantage of people’s misfortunes.”
“That’s right, but that’s no excuse for crushing my son’s arm.” Nangong Honglie stepped forward and said, “Gu Yu, you’re sharp-tongued, and I can’t argue with you, but I’ll say it again: if you kneel down, kowtow, admit your mistake, and cripple your arms and legs, I will forgive your heinous act.”
“That’s right, we also need to return double the Originium you extorted from our juniors,” someone added.
"You are truly despicable and shameless to the extreme," Shi Shuai said through gritted teeth. He had seen shameless people before, but never anyone as shameless as this.
"If I had known this would happen, Gu Yu shouldn't have saved you back then, letting you heartless bastards die at the hands of the Nightmare Clan," Ri Jiu said angrily.
Making his benefactor break his hands and feet, kowtow and apologize, and return double the source stones—everyone knew that although Gu Yu had taken the source stones, he had put them all into the array core to resist the Three Demons' attacks. Gu Yu didn't get a single one; in fact, he had to give up more than a dozen himself.
"Hmph! I'll give you three seconds to think it over. If you can't bring yourself to do it, then..." Ling Xiao said, looking at Gu Yu. With his Marquis Realm cultivation, if he were to attack Gu Yu, Gu Yu wouldn't even have a chance to resist.
"How ridiculous, how utterly ridiculous." Gu Yu shook his head and sneered. China has always regarded repaying a small favor with a great one as a virtue, but these people are doing the opposite. Their actions chilled Gu Yu to the bone.
Regarding the IOUs, apart from Nangong Yang and Ling Juefeng, he never intended to ask for them back, but now he doesn't intend to think that way anymore.
"It seems you just can't bring yourself to do it." Ling Xiao took a step forward and instantly appeared beside Gu Yu.
"You dare!" Shi Shuai, Yang Xinxin, and Ri Jiu roared, but none of them could stop Ling Xiao's power. Even Gu Yu could only be slaughtered at his mercy.
When Ling Xiao appeared beside Gu Yu, his hand transformed into a claw and reached out to grab Gu Yu's arm.
Just then, Ling Xiao's vision blurred, and Gu Yu's vision blurred as well. An old man with white hair and an aura of dominance appeared between Gu Yu and Ling Xiao.
"The Tianshan Sect is truly declining with each generation. It's such a pity that Ling Tianhe risked his life countless times and poured his heart and soul into building the illustrious reputation of the Tianshan Sect." The old man looked at Ling Xiao, his eyes filled with disappointment.
Upon seeing the old man, Yang Xinxin and Shi Shuai's faces lit up with joy. "Grandpa, you've come at the right time! Quickly teach these ungrateful bastards a lesson!"
When Nangong Honglie saw the old man, his expression changed as well. Especially when he heard Yang Xinxin call the old man "Grandpa," his eyes became flustered and evasive. The person who came was Yang Zhenkun, the head of the Yang family, and most of those who came to attack Gu Yu knew this old man.
Although this old man is only at the peak of the King Realm, his primordial spirit is a Xuan Turtle. Although his defensive power cannot be compared with that of the Xuanwu, it is not much different. It is said that when the old man goes all out, even the Emperor Realm cannot break through his defense. Most importantly, this old man is known for protecting his own.
