Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?

Chapter 112: Chapter 94: How Many People Can Fit in a Mile?

”Cultivator?”

”Not someone from Smoke Wave City?”

Xu Yin asked two questions in a row, not out of duty, as he was a Divine Gaze Realm cultivator. He didn’t really need to care about this as long as there was no trouble. It didn’t matter where someone came from.

The main reason was that Han Yu made him feel quite intrigued.

To say he was a cultivator, there was no slightest hint of True Essence. To say he was an ordinary person, his demeanor was completely incongruous.

Han Yu was also a bit surprised. This Guardian was, after all, from the Celestial Water Sect, and surprisingly, this person didn’t seem to recognize him.

This was interesting: while the Celestial Water Sect might be looking for him, their cultivator didn’t even recognize him.

With a peculiar expression, Han Yu nodded slightly and said, ”I’m just a rogue cultivator passing through.”

Xu Yin nodded too and didn’t ask any more questions, just glanced a few more times and then leisurely left.

”That idiot, why didn’t he arrest you?”

In the Sea of Consciousness, Glass was bouncing around, and Han Yu’s face instantly darkened as he spat.

”Can’t you wish some good for me?”

Glass chuckled, and with a grin, said, ”I’m just trying to relieve your worries, afraid you won’t have a place to use your Six Roots Purity Pill.”

Han Yu’s brow twitched, thinking maybe it wasn’t impossible.

——

Xu Yin returned to the Government Office. Inside the inner hall, Elder Liang was still leisurely brewing tea, completely at ease.

Gone was the image of him complaining endlessly when he first arrived.

Xu Yin helplessly sat to the side, and Elder Liang casually poured a cup and handed it over, speaking mildly.

”Encountered some trouble?”

Xu Yin had just taken a sip of tea and nearly spit it out at the words.

The tone of this senior brother of his almost made it seem as though he were the assistant here, while Elder Liang was the Guardian.

My trouble is you, senior brother!

Dealing with mundane issues daily was one thing, but returning to the Government Office to see someone steeped in comfort brewing tea was another thing entirely, leaving him feeling frustrated.

These were things Xu Yin couldn’t say aloud, so he casually vented, ”It’s still those trivial matters of the small sects, wanting to fight over a split at the city gates.”

Elder Liang sipped his tea, frowned in thought, and then a flash of insight came to him. He set down the cup and looked at Xu Yin, speaking in a serious tone.

”From now on, when cultivators cause trouble, don’t intervene until the common people are affected. This way, you can take action under a just cause, even if you kill them on the spot, it’s justified. Whether in the Imperial Court or the sect, you won’t be at fault.”

Xu Yin was initially startled by his words, then appeared hesitant. Not that the method was bad — in fact, it was excellent. But the civilian casualties would be significant.

Elder Liang, seeing his hesitation, couldn’t help but express dissatisfaction, reprimanding, ”It’s because of this kind of attitude that you’re being manipulated. You’re first an Elder of the Celestial Water Sect, then the Guardian.”

”If you had understood this earlier and handled issues from a cultivator’s perspective, what does the life and death of civilians have to do with you? They just need to leave evidence behind, and you’ll have ample reason to kill.”

The more Elder Liang spoke, the clearer his thoughts became, and he couldn’t help but feel pleased with his clever plan.

He thought to himself, it’s amazing that no one has thought of such a simple method, and yet so many Guardians have come and gone, truly a bunch of idiots.

If I were the Guardian, those demonic creatures would steer clear.

Listening to Elder Liang’s reasoning, Xu Yin’s face turned peculiar, and he pondered whether this method would work. In theory, it was sound, and he could eliminate several cultivators. But if ordinary people died in large numbers, wouldn’t the residents of Smoke Wave City flee?

Elder Liang shook his head secretly. This youngest elder was always cautious and foolish; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been pushed to do such dirty and exhausting work.

——

”Damn, that’s ruthless!”

Han Yu sat on the rooftop, having heard Elder Liang’s words without missing a single one.

Using the lives of ordinary people to lure out those unruly cultivators, the Celestial Water Sect was clearly no good.

As for why Han Yu was here, it all started from outside the city.

The suggestion from the Artifact Spirit was indeed tempting, prompting him to come over and take a look.

But he was afraid of alerting the enemy.

Unexpectedly, Glass was very confident, ”In a short time, I can make sure you’re not discovered.”

When he reached near the Government Office, the Glazed Bottle in the Sea of Consciousness suddenly emitted a layer of mist to conceal himself from detection by the Realm of Transcendence.

Then he watched in surprise as the mist continued to seep from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.

”So ’smoke from seven orifices’ isn’t just a metaphor...”

After the mist covered his entire body, Han Yu looked at his hand again, seemingly without any change.

”Stop looking, that mist is just a disguise, making people largely ignore you. As long as someone doesn’t keep staring at you, they’ll still see you.”

After saying this, Glass urged, ”Hurry up, as long as there is a barrier and you don’t act recklessly, a mere Divine Gaze Realm won’t be able to detect you.”

With half trust, Han Yu unfolded his flames and flew onto the roof of the Government Office, and sure enough, no one discovered him, leading to this scene where he eavesdropped from the rooftop.

In his view, the plans of Elder Liang and Xu Yin were truly despicable. Seeing how even two elders of a sect behaved like this, one could imagine that the Celestial Water Sect wasn’t any better.

Moreover, there was the Seeking Death Taoist who went to the Southern Border, wiping out entire households at a whim.

Throwing this Six Roots Purity Pill into the Celestial Water Sect wouldn’t be an injustice.

Each one could become a monk, letting go of worldly desires.

”What are you thinking?”

Glass asked curiously in the Sea of Consciousness.

At this moment, Han Yu looked down, deep in thought, with a conflicted appearance.

”I’m thinking whether an area of a single mile is enough to accommodate the small sects and the Celestial Water Sect in Smoke Wave City.”

Glass’s jaw dropped in shock in the Sea of Consciousness, not expecting Han Yu to play such a big game, almost wanting to wipe out all the cultivators large and small in Smoke Wave City.

”Are you sure you want to go that big?”

Han Yu grinned, filled with excitement.

”If there’s not a single Realm of Transcendence in Smoke Wave City, then what is there to fear.”

Bam! Bam! Bam!

In the Sea of Consciousness, Glass suddenly started bumping its round face against the bottle, producing a series of sounds.

Han Yu was very surprised and asked in a peculiar tone.

”What are you doing now?”

Glass was bounced away by the bottle again and again, but kept going back to bump.

”Suddenly realized my mouth is a problem.”

It suddenly dawned on Glass that if Han Yu went through with it, the Six Roots Purity Pill would give the bottle so much feedback energy.

Even though the rules are different, with so many people involved, how could it not work!?

If Han Yu truly succeeded in this escapade, the authority of the bottle would become even more stable, leaving Glass’s control of that power a far-off dream.

So, it attributed all of this to its own imprudence, venting its frustration by banging its head against the bottle.
