Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?

Chapter 109: Chapter 91: Cultivators Cursing in the Streets

”This group of bastards, instead of cultivating within the sect, roams around Smoke Wave City as if they were frequenting some restaurant, where is any semblance of a cultivator!”

When the Palace Guard reported in haste, Xu Yin immediately cursed in anger before asking if there were any casualties.

The Palace Guard reported that they were beaten into submission by a young cultivator, no casualties.

Regret flashed across Xu Yin’s face; he truly wished that if these cultivators were to die, more would die, so the city could at least be more peaceful.

The population of Smoke Wave City has always been low, most wealthy families choose to relocate to safer places, and many small merchants, unable to withstand the constant harassments, have also closed shop and left.

Although it hasn’t reached the level of cultivators oppressing commoners, the chaos they cause in the city has led to widespread grievances among the people.

Not only do Smoke Wave City’s cultivators have a poor impression of Xu Yin, but the commoners in the city are also extremely disappointed with him.

Listening to Xu Yin’s complaints, Elder Liang sighed and comforted him.

”This isn’t something you can control; there have always been complicated and entangled minor forces in Smoke Wave City, inevitably leading to ordeals.”

The problem with small sects has always been the difficulty in upward development and insufficient sect resources, so the threshold for accepting disciples cannot be set high; having someone join is already good enough, no chance to be picky about their character and intelligence.

That’s why a group of junior cultivators mix within the city; it’s partly due to those small sects intentionally making trouble for the Celestial Water Sect, but mostly because those junior cultivators can’t settle down for proper cultivation.

Otherwise, why don’t we see cultivators at the Other Shore Realm or above coming out to mess around?

Ultimately, it’s because the Celestial Water Sect isn’t strong enough! If a Guardian came from a major sect, those people wouldn’t dare cause such chaos.

These sects don’t lack disciples, nor do they need to worry about relationships with the Imperial Court and sects; at worst, the Guardian can quit and first tidy up these sects to submission and satisfaction.

Celestial Water Sect, however, is not the same; although based in Smoke Wave City, the population here is already low, and further expansion of the sect requires enough cultivators, relying solely on support from the Imperial Court.

Not to mention dealing with these small sects; individually, the Celestial Water Sect could easily handle several, but if the minor forces in Smoke Wave City band together, they’re stretched thin.

So, in this situation, whatever Xu Yin does is wrong; it’s not his fault, except for the sect not being a major one.

After some consolation, Xu Yin’s expression slightly relaxed, but at that moment, another Palace Guard reported that two minor forces were at odds in the city again.

No fighting yet, but they are blocking the city and insulting each other!

”Damn them, these little bastards.”

Xu Yin gritted his teeth in anger.

Elder Liang was stunned, suddenly realizing his earlier comfort was powerless; in such a situation, one could only scratch the wall to vent.

Thinking about his previous experiences, they didn’t seem so bad after all.

Younger apprentice brother has it much tougher than me.

——

Han Yu watched with some astonishment, the two sides in confrontation exchanging verbal attacks, saliva flying.

This is just like when I used to lead the village kids to arrange fights with the neighboring village, isn’t it?

”Are you sure these are cultivators?”

Han Yu found it more believable that these people were street thugs rather than cultivators.

”The lowest is Celestial Human Realm, the highest is Divine Bridge Realm, mostly they are Divine Spring Realm, a mix of small fry you could probably wipe out with a Divine Power Fire.”

Glass showed a disdainful expression within the Sea of Consciousness as she explained each one.

The peak of mortal cultivation begins at Celestial Human Realm, opening the Divine Spring, building the Divine Bridge, ascending to the Other Shore, beholding the self, followed by Divine Gaze as the end.

The pinnacle of great cultivators crosses transcendence, beyond which the grand path can be seen...

Considering levels like Celestial Human Realm, Divine Spring Realm, and Divine Bridge Realm, calling them small fry isn’t inaccurate.

Han Yu wondered whether, in all this chaos, the Guardian here was dead or what?

He had been standing here for a cup of tea’s time, without a sign of Palace Guard arresting anyone.

It’s understandable if high-tier cultivators are untouchable, but letting these small fry rampage like this is just unreasonable.

”You’re not thinking of playing hero, are you?”

Glass suddenly snickered aloud.

Han Yu pondered and retorted, ”I was thinking, if I stayed here, Ping’s Pills wouldn’t have to worry about not finding users in the future.”

With these wannabe cultivators who resemble hoodlums, there’s no guilt in forcefully feeding them pills.

After watching for a while longer, Han Yu finally lost interest and left.

——

Following Xu Yin out of the Government Office, Elder Liang, together with him, flew to the site and landed, still able to hear the clamor of the two sides.

Listening for a moment, Elder Liang gave a strange look at his younger brother Xu Yin.

For more than a year, dealing with these troubles daily?

Honestly speaking, just hearing the content makes me want to palm down these junior cultivators to end the mess.

What nonsense is this?

A sect no one has ever heard of, called the Tiger Crane Sect, recently causing trouble trying to split from the Wild Tiger Sect and the Wild Crane Sect; now, leaders are in discord, and below, disciples are split into factions attacking each other.

What gives Elder Liang a toothache is, by normal logic, shouldn’t you be fighting bloodily inside the sect until the river runs red and one side emerges victoriously?

If not, couldn’t you just fight nearby the sect entrance?

Running specifically to the city to arrange a fight?

At this moment, Elder Liang’s eyes were full of pity toward his younger brother; indeed, it is exasperating for a Divine Gaze Realm expert to face these demons and monsters daily, with cultivation ineffective and eventually driving oneself mad.

For once, Xu Yin was truly angry, looking at the noisy, quarreling sides, stirring his True Essence, summoning winds and thunder with a wave of his hand.

As soon as both sides who were making noise heard the thunder resounding through and the wind howling, their faces turned pale, quickly squatting down with their heads tucked, mighty obedient.

”Arrest them all damn it, lock them up for ten days to half a month, no food given.”

Xu Yin, truly angry, instructed the Palace Guard, and immediately dozens of guards rushed up to take them to jail.

”Damn, the Imperial Court insists on talking about the law, if I could kill at will, how would these imps in Smoke Wave City dare be so difficult!”

Xu Yin, still furious, said with a flushed face.

Elder Liang was so scared he stopped him immediately, fearing he might really lose it and carry out a massacre.

Putting aside the Imperial Court’s law, even in the Cultivator Realm!

Whatever you do needs a legitimate reason, without a valid pretext for a massacre, you’d surely be labeled as following the Demonic Path.

Of course, Xu Yin was merely venting, having said such things countless times before; indulging in such words brought at least a little more relief.

Elder Liang looked up at the sky, with the sunset staining it red, it wasn’t appropriate to linger.

He could only fold his hands in a salute to bid farewell.

”It’s getting late, good or bad, I need to go back and report in, I’ll come and chat when I have free time, brother.”

Xu Yin sighed, folded his hands in farewell, ”Too much mundane business, can’t escort my brother, pardon me.”

——

Just as night fell, a crescent moon hung high.

Han Yu found an inn nearby, and upon entering, found it cold and desolate; the shopkeeper was dozing off at the counter, and the waiter leaned listlessly against it.

After calling out a greeting, the two finally looked up, a disinterested look in their eyes.

”Boarding.”

Han Yu said aloud.

It wasn’t until then that the shopkeeper, upon hearing the accent, brightened up slightly, immediately instructing the waiter to attend to the guest.

Han Yu clicked his tongue inwardly; it seemed these local cultivators weren’t well-liked among the commoners!

With the waiter guiding in front, upon reaching the room, Han Yu couldn’t suppress his curiosity and asked.

”Why is Smoke Wave City in such a chaotic state?”
