Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?-Chapter 320 - 262: Trafficking in Human Lives

"Sir, I think there’s nothing wrong with us staying on the ship and eating fish."

An Other Shore Cultivator, dressed as a Palace Guard, stepped on his sword, following behind his own Guardian with a bitter expression, and then hesitantly spoke up.

They had originally set sail, so eating fish was just part of it!

Even if they got tired of fish, the commoners had brought some cabbages, enough to last a couple months without issue.

Then suddenly, his own Guardian seemed to have gone mad, insisting on going ashore to see what’s happening. Fine, but why bring along a small fry from the Other Shore Realm?

Yes, the small fry he was referring to was himself, the Palace Guard felt bitter inside.

If these two big shots started fighting and involved him, a mere Other Shore Cultivator wouldn’t even know how he died.

The Guardian turned his head, his expression serious as he retorted, "We sailed out for the safety of the people, our duty still stands, and Sea Stone City is still under our jurisdiction, we can’t just ignore it."

Despite saying this, the Guardian’s speed, even being in the Divine Gaze Realm, wasn’t that much faster than the Palace Guard’s.

He was actually feeling apprehensive too.

It was because he didn’t know if the fighting was over, so he brought the Palace Guard along to investigate.

"At least if we take a quick look and then leave, it counts as doing our duty!"

After flying for about an hour, they could finally see The Bund.

And coincidentally, they witnessed a scene of a young man kicking two elderly folks on The Bund right before their eyes.

He saw Han Yu, and Han Yu smiled and looked up at them.

The Guardian shivered, as this was likely not a good sign for himself, feeling a sense of dread in his gut, he immediately turned around, signaling the Palace Guard to fly back in the direction they came from.

"There’s nothing happening up ahead, let’s go back and continue eating fish."

The Palace Guard was a bit confused, seeing Han Yu waving, and hastily reminded his lord, "Sir, Mr. Han is waving at you?"

The Guardian flew even faster, muttering, "You must be seeing things."

"No mistake, Mr. Han is indeed calling you."

The Palace Guard spoke up again.

The Guardian was scared out of his wits and went full throttle, using his fastest speed to escape.

Damn it, he just wanted to see how things were going, not to get involved!

Han Yu looked up at the sky in bewilderment, as he had already seen the Guardian from a distance when he heard the sound from above.

Wasn’t this perfect timing, as he was just worried about what to do with those two old lunatics, and the Guardian Mansion just showed up unannounced.

Unexpectedly, just as he smiled, the other party turned and ran without looking back.

If you say you couldn’t see clearly, he had waved.

If you’re afraid the other party doesn’t understand your intentions, he had also called out.

Yet, the other party ran faster and faster, how was that possible, he immediately leaped into the air and chased after him.

The disparity in their strength was already quite significant, and Han Yu’s speed was extremely fast, catching up with the other party in less than twenty breaths.

Looking at the other’s awkward yet friendly smile, Han Yu suppressed the urge to laugh.

"Mr. Han, what a coincidence, you’re here too!"

The Guardian’s expression was exaggerated, trying his best to look surprised.

"You’re just in time."

Han Yu casually put his arm around the other party’s shoulder, chuckling lightheartedly.

Not good, not good at all.

The Guardian felt bitter inside.

The three of them returned to The Bund, the Guardian only now carefully identifying the two people lying on the ground, and was first shocked, realizing they were two of the four Transcendent Realm Cultivators.

He hurriedly looked around vigilantly, but the figures of the other two were already gone.

"This..."

He curiously asked Han Yu.

"Two got away."

Han Yu sighed, those four old monsters had their means, especially those enhancement pills in their hands.

The worst part was their lack of morals, having no bottom line, each leaving their own comrades to escape.

The Guardian was immediately amazed, my gosh, one person fighting four, crippling two and chasing two away.

No wonder Che Dapao, the Commander, showed respect to him, with such strength, whichever Guardian offended him would be killed with a slap.

"I’ll give you some credit, I’m planning to sell these two old men to the Inspectorate, consider it doing me a favor, you help send them back."

Now that someone had come to take over, Han Yu generously wanted to send these two old men away.

"Mr. Han, mind your words! We don’t engage in human trafficking here, that’s against national law, let’s pretend we didn’t hear that, quickly put away these dangerous thoughts."

The Guardian was taken aback by his words and quickly spoke up, if this actually happened, not only would his position as Guardian be over, Che Dapao would certainly flay him alive!

"No, these are two of the eight old madmen from Celestial City Peak."

Han Yu also realized the ambiguity in his words, and hurriedly pointed to the two unconscious old guys on the ground, explaining.

"This is the second, and this is the third."

The more the Guardian listened, the wider his mouth gaped, ending in disbelief.

These are two of the eight shameless old hooligans?

Otherwise, everyone says the reputation of Celestial City Peak is extremely bad, even the Imperial Court is disgusted by this bunch.

These eight old geezers never dared to establish a sect for fear of being eradicated and living in constant anxiety.

So they’re notoriously unethical, living solitary lives.

Back when the seal was broken and the Great Elder pursued them, didn’t Luo Yuqi leave a message?

If I can’t handle you, I’ll deal with your little disciples of the Unparalleled Tower.

And that’s exactly what they’ve always done, with no attachments, they’re bold enough to confront any sect, and at the slightest sign of trouble, they don’t hesitate to turn tail and run.

Relying on their Transcendent Realm cultivation, they’re hard to catch and even harder to kill, truly eight old burnout pieces of trouble.

The Guardian’s face was quite a sight. Although these eight have a notorious reputation, their exceptional pill-making skills are also acknowledged. If they are sold, the Inspectorate would certainly be interested.

Escorting them could bring significant merit, which he very much wanted, yet he hesitated greatly because... he couldn’t handle it!

"Does this put you in a difficult position?"

Han Yu looked at him hesitantly, seemingly unwilling.

It’s not a difficult matter, this is hard for me, Little Ancestor!

"Mr. Han really overestimates me. Two Transcendent Realm... Even if I had the courage of a Divine Gaze Realm cultivator, I wouldn’t dare escort them!"

The Guardian wore a bitter smile.

"How hard can it be? Don’t you have the Mo Family’s specially-made shackles?" Han Yu said indifferently.

Upon hearing this, the Guardian could only explain with a laugh and cry.

When they initially commissioned the Mo Family to custom-make these items, the Mo Family only produced ones that can suppress those below the Divine Gaze Realm.

As for items that could restrain Transcendent Realm cultivators, those wouldn’t be called tools of punishment; they would be treasures.

If the Mo Family could craft such items, the entire Celestial Essence Nine Sects would revere them.

"Imagine the value if something could actually suppress Transcendent Realm cultivators."

The Guardian could only smile bitterly.

"So what should we do?"

Han Yu was troubled. If the shackles were useless, he really couldn’t hand them over, otherwise once they regained consciousness, they could run anytime.

"Why don’t you... uh... let me take them away."

The Guardian spoke vaguely, clearly having a solution but not wanting to make it too obvious.

"This guy fears offending anyone, wants you to cripple the two old guys, yet doesn’t dare say it outright."

The Artifact Spirit chuckled, this Guardian was indeed astute.

"Wouldn’t losing cultivation affect their value?"

They could have been crippled long ago, just trying to gain more favor.

"It’s likely the Inspectorate wouldn’t recruit them, these old guys are so notorious they probably wouldn’t listen. Mostly, the Inspectorate would either use them to make a statement or extract their pill formulas, cultivation likely wouldn’t matter much."

The Artifact Spirit pondered for a moment, then mused.

This made things easier, with the second Qu Buzhi and third Wang Ruhai not even having the chance to regain consciousness before a single finger was driven into their Divine Spring position...

The Guardian watched with great satisfaction; with just these two, once sent to the Fifth Tower, the merit would be immense.

"By the way, what happened to Sea Stone City?"

Han Yu asked about the evacuated city.

The Guardian then, embarrassed, laughed, "I took everyone out to sea for shelter."

The words were straightforward.

Han Yu had already guessed as much and wasn’t discontent with it; the scale of a battle between cultivators was immense, and it was understandable a city Guardian would protect his populace.

The only displeasure was that this guy was unwilling to reveal their current location, keeping his lips tightly shut.

"You have to give me a location, so I can send them over if I catch someone again."

Han Yu sighed helplessly.

More? The Guardian’s eyes widened, nearly popping out.

"Aren’t there two more who got away?"

Their notorious reputation would surely seek revenge once I’ve crippled two of them.

Luo Yuqi likely despises me now and wouldn’t let things sit.

"Are you sure about this?"

The Guardian earnestly asked.

Han Yu nodded, thinking, you probably don’t know I’m trouble-prone, this won’t end easily.

"Hurry up! Go back and have them withdraw another twenty... no, thirty miles out."

After a change in complexion, the Guardian quickly ordered the Palace Guard.

"You deities clash, we’ll just stay far away!"

Then he pulled out a Communication Bird which was meant to be used after things settled, to call everyone back, but it ended up being used now.

Thinking that instead of letting Han Yu know the location, he’d rather be proactive after receiving the communication.

Han Yu took the Communication Bird, baring his teeth, unable to resist making a quip, "You’re really cautious."

But the Guardian wasn’t bothered, rather he laughed openly, "That’s right, they all call me Chicken Feather Gall."
