Extra's Strategy: Cultivate Protagonists, Become Invincible-Chapter 141: Is My Sect Master Cool Or Not?

Swallowing hard, Han Xuhan tentatively threw out a hook he had been preparing for a while.

"Elder Rong, I’m not sure how to say this...but can you guarantee that I will not be penalized in any way if it’s proven that I am an innocent person who got caught up in the other party’s scheme and ended up in a compromising position?"

The Elder’s eyebrows shot upward as he crawled backwards on his bed, keeping a good hold on his quilt. Subtle qi fluctuations appeared around him.

"What have you done? Speak clearly!" He gave no indication of agreeing to the request.

Han Xuhan nervously exchanged a glance with Xuanyuan Zhou and Mu Ran before speaking.

"Elder Rong, while we were trying to advance past the circle of laws within that world fragment, my spiritual world was infiltrated by a strange power that apparently works like an enslavement seal.

"It makes me a permanent disciple of the Holy Land of Laws. I’m just afraid that it might affect my mind somehow and make me a threat to the sect."

From their discussions on the boat, Han Xuhan had understood that this type of spiritual infiltration was incredibly tough to remove. The letters of law had already become a part of his spiritual world, forming an invisible, intricate connection to the foundation tower that even he could not detect.

Han Xuhan wanted these things gone, this infestation cut off from its roots. But when he had asked the other two, both of them claimed that they weren’t in a hurry to remove the seals on their own foundation towers.

Although they hadn’t stated any reasons explicitly, Han Xuhan could read between the lines; these two secretive fellows did not want the Elders of the sect to investigate their spiritual worlds under the pretext of removing the seals, not unless they fell into dire straits.

And this had provided him with the prime opportunity to farm some trust points. He had boldly volunteered to become the guinea pig, saying that he would ask the sect for help in removing the seal on his foundation tower.

If the procedure turned out to be successful and safe, Mu Ran and Xuanyuan Zhou could try it as well!

His plan to sacrifice himself had left his two bosses looking quite touched, not that Han Xuhan thought of it as a sacrifice. Unlike them, he had no huge secret to hide inside his body, spiritual world, or soul. He didn’t care about outsiders snooping around his foundation tower so long as they managed to accomplish what he had asked of them.

It was a win-win situation for him either way. How could he not take the opportunity?

This was why he hid the fact that Mu Ran and Xuanyuan Zhou’s foundation towers had been infiltrated by the letters of the language of law as well!

Hearing his confession, the Elder sighed with relief.

"Ah, even if it isn’t something that I excel in, our Sect Master can probably fix it, or find some outsider expert who can. Come, accompany me to the Sect Master’s quarters."

The three of them followed him as he rushed out of the room, keeping the quilt draped around himself like a cape. While jogging down the mountain, he lightly coughed and turned to look at them.

"About what you saw in my room..."

Mu Ran cut him off with an understanding smile.

"Don’t worry, Elder Rong. We are all old enough to understand what was happening. You don’t have to explain. In fact, if you ever need advice on how to spice up your secret affair, feel free to come chat with me. I can be considered somewhat of an expert on this,"

"...Boss, I don’t think Elder Rong was trying to say that," Han Xuhan whispered.

"What? Why would he bring it up, then?" Mu Ran asked in puzzlement.

Han Xuhan sighed and looked at Elder Rong, who looked like he was about to explode.

"Elder, we definitely saw nothing inside your room. You were sleeping hard on your bed, ALONE. We did not see any woman slipping through the window, neither did we see you trying to hide your lower-"

"YES, THANK YOU! That will be enough!"

Bursting out in fury, Elder Rong harrumphed and turned his face away, stomping his way to the sect master’s residence.

When they reached the Sect Master’s mountain, they saw him meditating calmly at the edge of the staircase that led to the peak.

Upon hearing that there might be a mysterious, powerful demonic cultivator nearby, who had wiped off everyone’s memories of a human settlement, along with the settlement itself, Xuan Zi’s expression flickered through several complex emotions.

But it went back to its normal placid state, a perfect poker face, very quickly. His face reminded Han Xuhan of Xuanyuan Zhou’s calm countenance.

"Children, you do not need to worry about any such threats reaching you as long as you reside within our sect. This sect is not something any random powerful cultivator can roll over. Rest assured, even if someone dares to show up with ill intentions, they will have to pass through me first!"

Sect master Xuan Zi looked as tall as a mountain and as majestic as a titan as he spoke those words of assurance in an elegant fashion. Behind him, the rising crimson sun in the sky seemed to burn with the spirit of a red Goliath in all of its glory.

It was such a picturesque scene that it looked edited.

Sect Master Zi is so cool!

"Of course, if the enemy is more powerful than me, which is a valid possibility considering your descriptions, then we’ll all end up being very, very, dead. So make sure to write down your wills and whatnot. I did mine decades ago," Xuan Zi suddenly added as an afterthought.

The realistic remark made Han Xuhan remember that this messed up cultivation world had a tendency to veer into the opposite path of the typical tropes halfway. The author had a fetish for subverting the situations...

The sun behind Xuan Zi now looked more like a bloody flag of tragedy. His titanic momentum was instantly broken, becoming as fake as the mountain he lived on.

Han Xuhan’s deep admiration was shredded brutally at that moment.
