Tao Yu looked over upon hearing the words and also saw the clearly identifiable group of Pioneers.


    In all, there were eight of them: three with mechanical modifications, three with alien body implantations, and two with no visible changes, uncertain whether they followed the path of physical strength or Battle Qi.


    From the vitality of the group, all eight were likely Inner City Pioneers, and among those, they were not the weakest.


    As for Pioneers coming over, Tao Yu did not find it strange, as Panda had told her earlier that the Canadian Pioneers had already clashed with some Martial World people. Continue reading on empire


    Given the peculiar fighting style of the Martial World, it was natural to attract interest, so a team of elite Inner City Pioneers had come directly, likely hoping for a huge windfall.


    Without using flying devices, relying purely on motorcycles and the like to follow the roads not completely destroyed, their speed was much faster than horses, probably spending most of the time crossing the sea and reaching Xiangyang.


    However, unfortunately for them, the biggest benefit had already been taken by herself, and she had continuously primed Guo Jing and the others with warnings about how Pioneers lack restraint and to be wary of sneak attacks; therefore, looking at their expressions, they seemed none too pleased.


    If they are unhappy, let them be unhappy. Tao Yu had no intention of pleasing them.


    "I have merely stated some facts," she said, "Pioneers are ruthless and don’t consider the natives human; this is the norm. It’s just that now, the power of the Martial Artists isn’t weak, and you are not confident, otherwise, I don’t think you would have adopted such a mild approach."


    Tao Yu snorted, completely indifferent to their feelings.


    She made a special effort to use Willpower Translation, sending a chill through the elites of the six major sects.


    Is this the kind of Pioneer that Tao Yu spoke of?


    Previously, Tao Yu had told them about these Pioneers engaging in all sorts of evil, claiming they would eat three children in one meal and act unscrupulously!


    If their strength had been superior, it would have been fine, but revealing any weakness might lead to being devoured by them!


    Initially seeing Tao Yu arrive in such high esteem, along with two stunningly beautiful and distinctive women at his side, the Pioneers were already feeling defensive.


    And now, added to the previous situation of Tao Yu causing trouble, they were already suppressing their emotions.


    But now, Tao Yu, utterly unconcerned, openly dismissed them to their faces, which indeed made them furious with embarrassment.


    While it is often true that they act without scruples, this time there are martial techniques to be learned, and we would certainly choose gentle methods over forceful ones!


    Among them, there were three with mechanical modifications, actually carrying some wide-range destructive devices.


    But now, Tao Yu’s words made them feel as uncomfortable as constipation.


    Using the natives to coerce the Pioneers?


    The key was that they were genuinely intimidated by the threat!


    "I know that the Young Miss has already arranged for the first batch of people to go south and that she has taken over, but that’s no excuse for you to throw your weight around with borrowed authority! I also have the backing of big shots from the Floating City!"


    The beardless team leader, taking a deep breath, retorted.


    Originally, upon seeing Tao Yu alone, they wanted to verbally corner him and possibly shake out some concessions.


    The first mover has its advantages, and so does the challenger.


    Just like when Bru and his group tangled with Dada.


    But who could have expected that he would assert such audacity backed by the local residents?


    Where did this brash youth come from, showing such disrespect for the rules!


    "Since we’re not on the same page, we will take our leave," the team leader said forcefully, reigning in his anger and preparing to leave.


    The situation was stronger than the individual!


    With time, location, and people all on the opponent’s side, despite being eight people, they were helpless with the locals backing the other party.


    "Take care, and remember not to linger too long."


    Tao Yu waved them off with a smile.


    However, this only earned him a cold snort and the sight of their backs as they left.


    "Young Master, they clearly harbor resentment; you can’t leave behind any future trouble."
