I have an Apocalypse City Chapter 1467

Chapter 1467: Chapter 1469: Joining Chapter 1467: Chapter 1469: Joining Hearing the name “Song Jian,” Guo Xiao's face turned ugly, and he couldn't help but let out a cold snort.

As the most outstanding disciple of Feilai Peak, he had always set his sights on becoming the Sect Leader's disciple and aimed to stand out in the next inner sect competition, securing the first place to become the Sect Leader's disciple.

But Guo Xiao had never imagined that Sect Leader Duan Xingliu would actually take a god-favored individual as a direct disciple, making him the senior brother to the whole Imperial Sword Sect.

“God-favored individuals, who put interests first, how could they possibly remain loyal to the sect? At most they might establish their own peak, but to desire the position of Sect Leader, it's simply impossible to gain everybody's support!” Guo Xiao had proclaimed this view more than once in public and had even gained the agreement of many disciples.

All this while, Guo Xiao had always viewed Song Jian as his imaginary enemy, even though Song Jian didn't even know who Guo Xiao was before this secret realm expedition!

“Hehe, I didn't expect that Sister Xin Ling would actually bring Brother Song Jian here; this is going to be tricky!” Zhao Hai said with a laugh as he touched his nose.

Chen Yang glanced at Guo Xiao from the side but said nothing.

“Hmph, our squad does not accept members without adequate strength!” Guo Xiao couldn't help saying.

“Cough cough, Brother Song is said to have the strength to kill Legendary Realm beasts on his own. During the previous beast invasion, he went deep into the beast territory to repair the Demon Suppression Seal. You know, protecting the Demon Suppression Seal isn't just about dealing with one Legendary Realm BOSS…” Zhao Hai laughed softly, speaking in a low voice.

Guo Xiao was at a loss for words; he suddenly recalled that Song Jian had become the Sect Leader's disciple not just because he had made great contributions during the beast invasion but also because his strength was formidable. Although he only had level three Combat Power, he was already comparable to Legendary Realm experts.

Using insufficient strength as an excuse might backfire and if Song Jian proposed a challenge, wouldn't that be like shooting himself in the foot?

Guo Xiao snorted coldly and immediately said, “Even if his strength is strong, it's not necessary for him to become a member of the team. After all, we've coordinated together for quite some time, and we already have a strong understanding of each other. Suddenly adding someone else, if there's a lack of cooperation during a group slaying, wouldn't that endanger us all?”

“Brother Guo has a point!” Zhao Hai immediately nodded and said, “It's indeed not appropriate to rashly add a new member. However…”

Zhao Hai sneaked a peek at Guo Xiao and said, “But if we insist on not letting Song Jian join, wouldn't Sister Xin Ling become angry? If she impulsively leaves the team and pairs up with Song Jian, then wouldn't we end up losing more than we bargained for?”

“This…” Guo Xiao immediately became hesitant.

Although Xin Ling was also god-favored, she was the only one among the four who possessed healing and recovery skills. If she left, the team would probably have to disband. Without Xin Ling's support, even Guo Xiao would not be able to hunt Legendary Realm experts on his own, unless they took on more members into the team.

Remember, the more people in the team, the success rate, and safety of hunting increase, but the spoils allocated to each person would decrease. After all, the merit of slaying a foreign race is fixed, and the more people there are, the less each individual gets.

“Brother Guo, why not we let him join, and then we go and slay those two Legendary Realm foreigners? The few of us could group up against one, and if Song Jian is so capable, let him hunt one alone!” Chen Yang suddenly said, “If he can kill one on his own, then we can share the merit of an extra foreigner. If not, what face does he have to stay in the team?”

“Ha ha, Chen Yang, you look just like a block of wood, always so silent that not even three smacks can knock a fart out of you,” Zhao Hai roared with laughter, pointing at Chen Yang, “You're sneakily cunning, I never noticed it before!”

A hint of coldness appeared at the corner of Guo Xiao's mouth. Chen Yang's idea wasn't bad; either way, it didn't harm their interests.

“Let's see if your strength, Song Jian, is as formidable as the legends claim!” Guo Xiao murmured to himself in a low voice.

Although Song Jian's prowess was highly spoken of within the Imperial Sword Sect, not many disciples had actually witnessed him in action. As for the fact that he had learned the Chaos Sword Canon, only some higher-up elders and peak masters knew about it. Ordinary disciples didn't even know what the Chaos Sword Canon was, let alone Song Jian's true strength!

“Big brothers, I'm back!” Xin Ling came rushing over with great excitement. Seeing Zhao Hai, she quickly produced a green detoxification pill and passed it to him, “Brother Zhao Hai, this is a Detoxification Pill. Eat it quickly; you can't delay with your poison.”

“Thanks, sister Xin Ling!” Zhao Hai smiled, breathed a sigh of relief, took the Detoxification Pill, and swallowed it. If it weren't for Guo Xiao constantly using his Nine Yang True Qi to alleviate the toxin in his body, he probably wouldn't have lasted until Xin Ling's return. Now that he was able to detoxify, he naturally heaved a sigh of relief.

After taking the Detoxification Pill from the Xuan Tian Sect, Zhao Hai's complexion indeed started to improve. He was still somewhat weak, but with his current strength, the remaining poison could no longer cause him significant harm. He just needed to rest a bit longer to be fully healed.

“Big brothers, look who I brought here! Ha ha, it's Song Jian. With Brother Song joining our team, we will surely be even more powerful, like a tiger sprouting wings. We will be able to hunt even more otherworldly beings!” Xin Ling said, quite pleased with herself as she dragged Song Jian along.

Xin Ling had seen Song Jian's power with her own eyes; to her, he was like a massive golden pillar. It was fortunate that she had a bit of friendship with Song Jian to be able to latch onto such support.

“Hmph, without me, you guys wouldn't have been able to get Brother Song Jian to join your little team. He would never spare a glance at you lot!” Xin Ling thought smugly to herself. Even Guo Xiao, with his Nine Yang Sword Body, wasn't fit to carry Song Jian's shoes in her eyes.

Xin Ling sneaked a look at Guo Xiao and snorted inwardly, “A Legendary Realm beginner Elf has got you all panic-stricken. If it were Brother Song, he'd take it down with a single move!”

“He he, hello Brother Song, I'm Guo Xiao from Feilai Peak!” Guo Xiao said with a beaming smile, bowing to Song Jian, his eyes flickering, sizing up Song Jian from top to bottom.

“Brother Song, I'm Zhao Hai from Gu Yue Peak,” Zhao Hai said with a small smile, bowing slightly.

“Chen Yang, Taiyi Peak.” Chen Yang spared his words, giving Song Jian a glance, a trace of surprise in his eyes.

“Hello to the three juniors, I am Song Jian!” Song Jian smiled. From the three of them, he could feel a hint of subtle hostility, which wasn't strange to him. After all, becoming the top disciple of the Imperial Sword Sect as a divine blessed individual was something that many other disciples found hard to accept.

“With Brother Song joining us, our mission this time will definitely yield greater rewards!” Zhao Hai smiled, then glanced at Guo Xiao.

Guo Xiao coughed and said, “Brother Song, earlier we discovered two Legendary Realm beings fighting each other. By now, they should be nearly done. We're planning to surround and kill these two beings. What do you think, Brother Song?”
