Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?-Chapter 383 - 325: Relentless Nitpicker

Want, want, want!

The ten elders nodded vigorously, looking rather amusing at first glance.

Who wouldn’t want such a powerful pill!

Though none had experienced the harsh effects of the pills, they only knew about Han Yu’s matters from rumors.

Therefore, among these people, the reverence for the pills wasn’t as cautious as that of the cultivators in the Fifth Tower.

Xiahou Jie suddenly collected his thoughts, casting a stern glance at this group, full of warning.

Then the group hastily shook their heads.

At this point, Xiahou Jie stepped forward, fawningly polite.

"Of course I’d like to take Mr. Han’s pills, I will, I will."

After saying that, he reached out to take them, but Han Yu smiled and pulled his hand back, smiling as he looked at him.

"Do you need more time to consider?"

Xiahou Jie shook his head vigorously, what more was there to think about, if he hesitated any longer, his ten subordinates would truly take them.

"No need to consider anymore."

He reached out eagerly.

Han Yu handed it over with a smile, palm open, releasing the pill.

Xiahou Jie dared not hesitate, swiftly reaching to take it, and without a second thought, directly swallowed it.

As a pill entered his stomach, he chanted joyfully in his heart, my fate is controlled by me, not by the heavens!

As a cool and refreshing feeling emerged from his belly, Xiahou Jie couldn’t help but feel gleeful inside.

As the cool feeling intensified, his senses became strangely vivid.

Strange?

But to his elders, it seemed more shocking, each with an incredibly astonished expression.

At that moment, Xiahou Jie’s skin began to emit an unusual sheen, and within moments, his exposed skin turned a bright yellow.

This... Even Han Yu couldn’t help but be amazed; it truly was a gift of Copper Skin and Iron Bones!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Xiahou Jie, naturally, noticed the peculiar change in his body, incredulously squeezing his wrist; it felt exceptionally hard and sturdy.

He then instinctively clapped his hands together, producing a sound like metal meeting metal.

"I feel frighteningly powerful right now."

Xiahou Jie murmured, satisfied as he examined his body.

Eh?

Han Yu suddenly became curious, scrutinizing him again, his expression turning strangely.

This guy indeed had Copper Skin and Iron Bones, even his head was golden, but his mouth remained unchanged, still normal.

So, is this weakness so conspicuous?

Where’s the need for secrecy? With such obvious looks, anyone could tell where to hit most effectively unless they were fools.

Having consumed the pill and witnessed its effects, Han Yu smirked and said, "Well, I’ll be off now. Don’t come looking for me over any mishaps."

As soon as Han Yu turned to leave, a mocking voice sounded behind him.

"If you’re gonna go, just go, why bother with whether there’s anything going on or not, waiting for me to invite you to a meal?"

Here we go.

When Han Yu turned around to look, he saw Xiahou Jie desperately trying to cover his mouth, terror etched on his face.

Indeed, he seemed much more obnoxious, rivaling Elder Feng, and hearing him speak inadvertently made one want to hit him.

It seems the pill had another hidden effect beginning to take hold.

Aware of this, Han Yu couldn’t help but roll his eyes, calming his mind quickly and leaving, fearing he might snap if he exchanged any more words and lash out.

He was there to deliver the pills, not to kill anyone.

As for whether Xiahou Jie would bring calamity upon himself, the heavens know—it’s none of his concern.

Eagerly watching Han Yu’s departure until he could see no more, Xiahou Jie finally released his grip, a wary look on his face.

Only now did he understand the frightening side effects, uncontrollable and out of place, offending people indiscriminately; if they were weaker, fine, but if he met someone stronger, it could prove deadly.

"I’ll just stay cooped up in Pingyang Prefecture, not going anywhere."

This deceiving place surely can’t have any cultivators stronger than himself, right?

Then he glanced over his sect’s ten elders for a moment.

These fellows were all aware of his critical weakness.

Might they betray him?

Just now, they were vying for the pills with him.

The more he looked at them, the less amicable he felt.

The ten elders simultaneously felt a chill run down their spines, especially with the Sect Leader’s off-kilter gaze!

"Sect Leader, are you alright?"

One elder, slightly braver, cautiously spoke up.

"I’m fine, of course I am fine. Are you suggesting I have some problem, or that I ought to? What’s your intention?"

Xiahou Jie’s tone was unfriendly.

Oh no, the Sect Leader’s not quite right, what to do?

The other nine were inwardly uneasy, with this demeanor, it’s clearly problematic.

"Sect Leader, we’ll take our leave first."

The nine simultaneously bowed and prepared to leave, sensing the Sect Leader was becoming hard to deal with.

Just as they spoke, Xiahou Jie turned his words back towards them.

"Leave? You’re tired of listening to me, right? Old man hasn’t said more than a few words, and you’re ready to leave."

Xiahou Jie chastised them, sounding quite displeased.

"So, what if we don’t go?"

The elders were on the verge of tears, could only bow and remained rooted.

Xiahou Jie still kept venting, rapid-fire speaking.

"What if? You aren’t just cultivators but adults, facing situations without personal judgment? Stay if you wish, or leave if you want, asking as if I force you."

This...

Their faces fluctuated uncertainly, unable to leave or stay.

Anything said invites scolding, nothing’s ever right.

Suddenly, a fiery sensation rose within them, each being Divine Gaze Realm themselves; frankly, they had ties within the sect, and, except for Xiahou Jie having slightly higher cultivation, inheriting such.

Without them, the Luoxing Sect might not thrive easily in Pingyang Prefecture.

One Divine Gaze Great Perfection leading a group of small cultivators, what can be achieved?

"Sect Leader, we’re all comrades, amongst us are even some of your senior brothers, so if we’re reasonable, let’s be reasonable, if mistakes are made, accepting punishment isn’t a problem, no need to make it so unpleasant."

One elder gritted his teeth, suppressing his fury.

"Be reasonable, and accept punishment, meaning I’m being irrational and punishing without cause, right?"

Xiahou Jie immediately rebuffed.

Damn it, so infuriating.

Every sentence like a disparity between species, yet he insists on responding to every word.

The pill’s side effects gradually made them incensed, eyes burning as they stared at Xiahou Jie.

This time it was Xiahou Jie’s turn to feel uneasy, he spoke up relatively calmly, hastily saying, "What do you intend to do?"

"To hell with it!"

One elder first attacked red-eyed, and with one leading, the other nine followed suit, all attacking.

The Luoxing Sect main hall was blasted into the sky with immense explosions, and soon all that was left were the crumbling ruins, falling like rain.

Xiahou Jie stood amidst the rubble, dazed, surrounded by ten elders, each battered and barely breathing.

Good news, his physical body was frighteningly strong, even ten Divine Gaze Realm couldn’t harm him.

Bad news, his Luoxing Sect main hall was destroyed...
