Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?

Chapter 403: Chapter 345: Great Chaos Approaches

The Celestial Secret Tower Master ultimately did not manage to fulfill his wish to fight the monster to the death, as the surrounding Elders clung to him tightly, constantly advising him.

”Don’t be impulsive, at worst we can call the Mo Family to rebuild, it’ll be done in a few months. What use is there in arguing with that thing?”

Moreover, the fighting inside was way too brutal; even if you go in, there might not be room to fight. You hit it, it doesn’t hurt. It hits you, and there’s nowhere to run.

Under Han Yu’s frenzied slashing, the monster plunged into madness.

The Celestial Secret Tower was destroyed.

Completely destroyed. As the eight pavilions collapsed with a roar, an area of two miles around was all rubble.

Countless giant pythons coiled in the mountain ravines, the void, underground—the entire Barrier was filled with the limbs split off from the monster.

They continually pounded the ground, causing the earth to tremble and mountains to shake. They kept clawing inside their bodies, trying to dig out the ”stubborn ailment” inside.

Han Yu laughed heartily, an invisible long blade cutting with wild abandon; the giant pythons as thick as tree stumps rushed out, only to be cut down to the size of a straw before him, without even a chance to recover, a fiery blaze followed, not giving it any time to recover.

Even a mountain-sized body was just a live target for him.

As the Artifact Spirit had predicted, this monster was simply a failed product.

As Divine Techniques, it couldn’t be harnessed by cultivators, relying solely on instinct, it couldn’t adapt to changing circumstances like a cultivator.

As a monster, it was clumsy with singular attack methods, without many tactics, and the once commendable energy body became pet fish on a butcher’s block, ready for the taking once a method to counter it was found.

Imagine if the Celestial Secret Tower had a way to counter it, it couldn’t even make a splash.

Time ticked away, outside the Barrier a group of people had likely given up hope, they could only watch as one man and one monster wore each other down amidst the ruins.

Han Yu wielded his blade with flying vigor, the monster’s mountainous body continually shrinking.

From hills to mounds, until it could contain him no more, without the support of its massive body, the energy-formed body could no longer hold.

At this moment, the monster finally regained the ability to split.

”Ah!”

With a sharp cry, the monster exploded, countless black raindrops shot out, either landing in ravines, hiding in rubble, or seeking shadows along the ground.

How could Han Yu let it escape, like the scorching sun swirling in the sky, the fire sea continued to pour out, turning the entire Barrier into a sea of fire in an instant.

Outside the Barrier, gnashing of teeth could be heard once more.

This time it wasn’t only the Celestial Secret Tower Master’s face that darkened, even the faces of the several Elders beside him were equally grim.

No other reason, Han Yu’s move left not even rubble of the Celestial Secret Tower.

It doesn’t stop there, this blaze even wiped out the grassy ravines on either side as well, now it’s just a barren stretch.

Is this place still usable?

In a moment, when the sea of fire continuously returned to Han Yu’s body, everything was charred black, and the broken walls and ruins were burned completely, leaving only ashes of the ancient site of the Celestial Secret Tower.

He emerged with a clear mind, only to see a group of dark-faced elders looking at him with peculiar eyes.

”It’s all settled.”

”You’ve burned my Celestial Secret Tower.”

The Celestial Secret Tower Master’s gaze was eerie and frightening at this moment.

Han Yu suddenly turned back, glancing at the empty ruins, his mouth twitching, ”Well... the monster destroyed it, not my fault.”

”I know, but you didn’t even leave me a shred...”

...

Ascension Tower.

Opportunities for Che Dapao to actively run around the Fifth Tower were not many to begin with, and his trips to the Inspectorate over the past few days were even rarer.

No choice, the functional overlap between the two Bureaus, his Guardian Bureau is responsible for cultivator law enforcement and protection.

The Inspectorate, while responsible for intelligence gathering, also cooperates with Guardian Mansions across regions, even being commandeered under personnel shortages is common.

Recently, the mess left by sects all over has become increasingly large, good heavens, the cowardly Evil Path sects were now all brazen, not to mention the Righteous Path small sects crying for help, even the second-rate sects couldn’t hold their ground.

The flames of war have now reached the level of major sects.

As the situation expanded, opportunists increased likewise, now the State City was increasingly hit.

Damn crooked ways of the Evil Path!

Thus, the pressure was directly leveled at Che Dapao, as these were all within his purview.

Even if he wasn’t frantic, he was likely overwhelmed.

As soon as he entered, he stormed in, pushing aside the files, dragging Quan Xiaotong up.

”I say, what’s this fuss all about again?”

Quan Xiaotong, bewildered, was dragged a distance, unable to even put down the scrolls in his hands.

Che Dapao cursed viciously, ”You scoundrel, doesn’t the Inspectorate still come under my command?”

Quan Xiaotong was taken aback by his question, theoretically speaking, inside the Fifth Tower, he was the highest authority, capable of mobilizing the Fifth Tower’s personnel at will.

But that’s theoretically speaking. In reality, it depends on whether Che Dapao can handle the people on the Fifth Tower. If he can, everything will be fine. If he’s not up to it, it’s likely that aside from his Chongming Tower, the other four towers won’t go along with him.

Fortunately, when it comes to handling people, Che Dapao has earned the respect of all five towers, so mobilizing forces shouldn’t be difficult.

”Isn’t it just a matter of saying a word?”

Quan Xiaotong asked in response.

Hearing this, Che Dapao jumped as if his tail had been stepped on, yelling, ”It’s not a matter of just saying a word! I’ve worn my lips out, and Elder Gao... that senior hasn’t lent me a single person.”

Heaven have mercy, he’s a Commander asking for a few hands from the Inspectorate, and yet he’s been babbling under a Vice Tower Master for ages.

The key is, he doesn’t dare to lose his temper, that’s right, the one he went to was Gao Feng.

There’s no way he dares to have an attitude.

”Why won’t Elder Gao lend you people?”

Quan Xiaotong was very curious. Logically, Elder Gao has always put the Fifth Tower first, so why would he make things difficult for Che Dapao at such a critical moment?

Before Che Dapao could explain, an elderly, angry voice came from behind.

”Because this kid has almost plucked all my people dry.”

The two of them turned around to see Gao Feng coming in angrily.

Once inside, Gao Feng glared at Che Dapao, ”Kid, just because you’re a big shot now, you’re reporting me, aren’t you?”

”I didn’t.”

Che Dapao quickly shook his head to deny it, jokingly, dealing with such a living fossil from the Fifth Tower, it’s best not to provoke!

Then he added with a bitter smile, ”But please lend me some more people, my side’s State Cities can barely hold on.”

”Is it that serious?”

Gao Feng and Quan Xiaotong were both taken aback.

How come they haven’t received any news?

”Isn’t it obvious? The requests for help can definitely reach me faster than you.”

Che Dapao forced a smile.

The defensive forces at the Southern Border have always been weak, so some Evil Path Sects are causing trouble there. The small Sects there can’t hold up and are all flocking to the State City for refuge.

And just like that, those crooked Evil Path practitioners ended up attacking the State City too.

How can the Southern Border’s State City withstand that!

So all requests for help have come to Che Dapao’s side.

”Aren’t there Mo Family Magical Artifacts? Even with that, it’s still not enough?”

Gao Feng frowned deeply. Currently, all regions are equipped with the Mo Family’s Magical Artifacts. How could it be such a mess?

”The Guardian Mansion only has so many people. You can give civilians Magical Artifacts to defend the city, but whether they can hit someone in a real fight is another matter.”

The threshold for Mo Family’s Magical Artifacts is low, but you still need to master them skillfully to have miraculous effects!

Moreover, performance in the moment is crucial, and most ordinary people have an inherent fear of cultivators. Whether they dare to fight is another question.

Nowadays, being able to rely on these things to defend the city is already a rare feat.

”Alright then! I’ll give you 800 more people, but I really can’t spare any more.”

Gao Feng said, his brows furrowed and his expression very troubled.

”Even we are short on manpower now?”

Quan Xiaotong was very surprised.

Gao Feng shook his head and sighed, ”Not just short, there’s not even enough, to begin with.”

Were it not for the urgency on Che Dapao’s side, he wouldn’t have gritted his teeth and lent people out.

”Recently, reports have come back from the State Cities under our Inspectorate’s jurisdiction. Even some big Sects have been attacked.”

”The defense forces in State Cities everywhere are insufficient, and we don’t even have the manpower to continue placing reinforcements.”

So it’s not his fault either, as he has lent out even the people he needed for himself, finding it truly difficult.

”Why don’t you reach out to the Cultivator Institute?”

Quan Xiaotong suggested to Che Dapao. There are many cultivators in the Cultivator Institute, and whoever gets approved by the military first goes there for cultivation. Although their cultivation level might not be high, with Mo Family Magical Artifacts in hand, they’re surely more effective than ordinary people.

”Don’t even mention it, the Cultivator Institute is currently not even a single hair of a recruit, they’ve all been borrowed including all the instructors.”

Che Dapao couldn’t help but laugh bitterly.

”This really is going to explode into utter chaos.”

Gao Feng’s expression turned ashen, a sense of foreboding lurking in his heart.

If things continue like this, it’s not just the Cultivator Realm, but the entire world that’s going to plunge into chaos.
