Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?

Chapter 446: Chapter 388: If You Die Later, You Don’t Have to Die

How do you destroy someone’s charisma with just one sentence?

This is it right now.

The carefree aura that previously surrounded the Daoist was immediately labeled as belonging to an old rogue by Han Yu as soon as the words left his lips.

What does hard mean... What kind of nonsense is that!

Shouldn’t words like this come from someone like Elder Luo?

The Daoist seemed unaware of Han Yu’s odd expression and continued to praise Han Yu’s performance.

Though it wasn’t quite a performance, considering he had been getting beaten from the start.

But the highlight of Han Yu was surviving such a treatment by the soul division. That’s quite remarkable.

”Promising, but not much,”

the Daoist smacked his lips and said.

There are countless geniuses in the world, like stars in the sky, and he had seen even the most dazzling ones; Han Yu’s performance merely earned an admiration from him.

Of course, that’s because he had no knowledge of Han Yu as a person, nor that he had reached this point in just a year.

At this moment, Han Yu was somewhat able to move; the broken bones had self-healed entirely, so when he supported himself to stand up, the Daoist offered even more praise.

”Alright! I misjudged, promising and very enduring.”

Being able to recover like this indeed makes him a top-notch endurance cultivator.

”Senior, who exactly are you people?”

Han Yu couldn’t help but ask his doubts.

Judging by the strength of the soul division, to say it bluntly, crushing any power seemed like a mere trivial task.

And this Daoist held an even higher strength, seemingly bearing grudges against the opponent, definitely not allies.

What’s more, how could such fearsome cultivators exist in the world?

He thought the Realm of Transcendence was the ceiling for cultivators, yet there were people above that ceiling.

His questions were many, but evidently, the Daoist lacked the patience to explain.

He waved his hand dismissively and said, ”There’s no need for you to meddle with who we are, just focus on your cultivation, and don’t poke around,”

After speaking, he glanced in the direction of the city wall, waved his hand gently, and the group from the Nine Sects finally regained their consciousness, but panicked as well.

They had no idea what just happened and judging by the sky, it seemed quite some time had passed.

Especially when they looked at Han Yu, covered in wounds, even he ended up like this.

Where’s the gruesome-faced man?

Soon they discovered the Daoist, and each became on guard.

”I don’t know why that old ghost is keeping you in mind, but don’t worry, when you meet again, try to hold on a bit longer, don’t die so quickly,”

”If I arrive, you won’t need to die.”

The Daoist left a few nonchalant words, took a step forward, and, looking back, a green leaf appeared in the sky once again.

Still floating leisurely, but in a few blinks of an eye, it had vanished.

Han Yu lingered in the Daoist’s words, not reacting for a while.

What did he mean by meeting and holding on a bit, dying later equals not dying...

This is overestimating him too much.

After the Daoist left, a group of people then dove down one after another, heading towards Han Yu.

”What exactly happened?”

”Who was that person just now, such a terrifying speed!”

”That member of the cult?”

Han Yu’s questions were many, but the Nine Sect elders were not short of questions either, each asking like a barrage of machine-gun fire in quick succession.

In the middle, Han Yu was driven to distraction by all the questions, hurriedly waved his hand to stop the few of them.

”Stop, let me speak first.”

...

A quarter of an hour later, not only were the Nine Sect elders left with cold spines, but also Ling Wuce and Gao Feng.

It turned out it was no illusion; they were indeed controlled for such a prolonged period.

Even now, a few remained apprehensive about the terror of the soul division, especially those Nine Sect elders.

Thinking they had risen to the peak of the Cultivator Realm, under such a figure’s hand, they were no different from small cultivators.

This was a huge disparity.

Merely listening to Xiao Shui’s description or Han Yu’s speculation didn’t compare to experiencing it firsthand.

”The entire Cultivator Realm has never heard of such a terrifying individual.”

Ling Wuce sighed deeply; indeed, he not only hadn’t heard of it, but while compiling records at the Spirit Realm Tower, he had never come across such terrifying existence in the Cultivator Realm’s past.

The Nine Sect elders looked like eggplants hit by frost, each silent.

”Let me go with you to the Inspectorate this time!”

The one speaking was the Great Elder of Piaomiao City; at this moment, his expression was grave, showing anxiety and confusion.

If the Corpse Refining Lineage was really this strong, then the Nine Sects truly needed to consider the cooperation with the Imperial Court seriously.

He wasn’t the only one thinking this way; the rest of the Eight Sects also responded accordingly.

As for Han Yu, when Ling Wuce asked if he wanted to go along, he shook his head.

”I have other matters to attend to.”

He still had ten names of Qi Fortune Cultivators at hand; he was equally eager for Qi Fortune to enhance himself.

The soul division evidently had its eyes on him; though there was short-term safety, it was uncertain when it might suddenly reappear to deal with him again.

”They’re interested in the secrets on your body; in future, it won’t be you troubling them; it’ll be them troubling you,”

The Artifact Spirit’s face was solemn; it was bound with Han Yu, and if anything unfortunate happened to Han Yu, it would suffer the same fate.

As for the Fire Spirit, matters could only be left to the Mo Family’s support, if they could truly resolve its weakness, then Han Yu could gain a significant boost in a short time.

”Mo Family senior, the matter of the Fire Spirit, please give it due attention,”

Han Yu took out the Age-Forgetting Pill and entrusted it over, as it was originally mentioned by the Mo Family Elder to persuade the Fire Spirit.

”Rest assured, I am aware of how crucial this matter is to you, once back, I’ll have Xiuwen personally take charge.”

The Mo Family Elder accepted the pills, nodding in acknowledgment.

His cousin, Ji Mo Xiuwen, was considered the most accomplished in the Mo Family; having him personally handle it, first, signified the Mo Family’s stance, second, illustrated the relationship between the Mo Family and Han Yu.

It was reassuring to have his cousin handle it.

...

Ascension Tower.

The Inspectorate had already gathered various sect leaders of the Nine Sects, along with their elders.

Che Dapao and Quan Xiaotong maintained stern faces throughout, and especially after hearing Ling Wuce’s detailed account, their expressions turned grim.

The Corpse Refining Lineage possessed such terrifying cultivators; how deep must their foundation be?

Quan Xiaotong’s speculation was already bold, but he never anticipated that just one cultivator could demolish most of his assumptions.

Such a force cannot possibly be in a dormant state; their objectives could easily be achieved.

Not to mention overthrowing the Cultivator Realm, overturning a dynasty might also be a piece of cake!

”You said the opposing side had another contender who appeared and saved you?”

Quan Xiaotong asked doubtfully.

”That’s what Han Yu said,”

Ling Wuce nodded; the specifics, only Han Yu knew best, and all information came from him.

Since he was the only one unaffected at that time.

”If that’s the case, there’s another force apart from the Corpse Refining Lineage standing against them?”

As to why this assumption, given the Corpse Refining Lineage’s foundation, it was impossible for the Daoist to have such confidence solely by individual strength.

The only explanation left was an equivalent power.

This situation is a mix of good and bad.

On the bright side, the Corpse Refining Lineage, such a terrifying force, isn’t the sole dominator.

On the downside, knowing nothing about the Daoist’s side, the Fifth Tower didn’t dare rashly approach.

For entities whose cultivation is beyond comprehension, no one can guess their intentions.

”What do you all think?”

Quan Xiaotong led the conversation back to the gathered people, meaning the Nine Sects’ various sect leaders and their great elders.

The intention behind the Nine Sects’ arrival was clear — out of fear, seeking tighter collaboration.

But understanding is one thing; letting them speak first is another.

The Fifth Tower must dominate the cooperation, so they couldn’t be hasty in speaking.

Especially in front of these grand sects, previously when they were in a weaker position, only the Mo Family, Unparalleled Tower, and Nanli Sword Studio leaned toward them.

The other sects’ perfunctory gestures were apparent to them.

Now aware of danger, eager to ally, Che Dapao and Quan Xiaotong were still receptive, but obtaining significant benefits from them was out of the question.

Moreover, the cooperation prerequisites had already been outlined.

To quell the chaos stirred by the Corpse Refining Lineage, the Nine Sects should leverage their influence to rally righteous sects, aiding the Fifth Tower to suppress rebellion.

Secondly, to form an alliance with principal sects, investigate and eliminate all sinister forces, no matter how many puppet forces the Corpse Refining Lineage had, all must be eradicated.
