Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?-Chapter 227 - 195: Inspectorate Leak

Find Han Yu!

The Cultivator Realm suddenly overflowed with all kinds of rumors about Han Yu, springing up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain from various places.

Everything from the little bits starting at Star Sect to White Emperor City about the pills that could instantly propel someone to the Divine Gaze Realm was fully exposed.

More importantly, the rumors were well-documented with time and place, even revealing the names of people who had consumed the pills.

Moreover, the speed of dissemination was extraordinarily fast, as if there was some force secretly stoking the flames.

How fast? So fast that Ou Mingdong heard the news by the afternoon after sending people off in the morning.

"Damn!"

Which bastard is stirring up trouble, only mentioning the effects and not a word about the side effects.

And just like Ling Wuce said back then, if such pills from Han Yu were to become known, the consequences would be quite terrifying.

Ou Mingdong slapped the table and angrily looked at the Palace Guard below.

"Was it you who spread this information?"

He couldn't help but suspect, because when Han Yu took out this pill it was in the Government Office, and only this group of people could have known.

The Palace Guards looked at each other in bewilderment, and after a moment, one stood out and smiled bitterly.

"Sir, this news came into White Emperor City from outside!"

Not spread from White Emperor City? Rather it was spread into White Emperor City from outside.

"Could it be your Inspectorate doing this?" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Ou Mingdong hesitated for a moment before speaking.

Just after Han Yu took out such pills, news spread right after; it's suspicious any way you look at it that the Inspectorate might be involved.

"Sir! Bad news."

Before his words were even finished, a patrolling cultivator ran in flustered, and upon seeing Ou Mingdong, quickly approached.

No need for him to speak, a commotion was already audible from outside the Government Office.

Ou Mingdong's expression changed, the news had spread too fast, and it was likely that all the cultivators in White Emperor City already knew.

Luckily, Han Yu had already left White Emperor City, otherwise, it'd be another big mess here.

"What to do?"

A group of people looked up at him, awaiting his decision.

"What else can we do, tell them he's already gone."

Ou Mingdong cursed under his breath, his face sullen as he stormed out...

-----------------

Han Yu listened in bewilderment as the surrounding cultivators indulged in animated discussion, in Dongling City, a group of cultivators gathered, their conversations full of everything about him.

"It's said that this person is on the path of alchemy, wielding all sorts of wondrous pills."

A thin cultivator was sharing the information he'd gathered with a mysterious air.

"Star Sect spoke of a hundred genius disciples, which seems to be true; I was in Southern Border a month ago and heard of this, but never expected such hidden truths behind it."

Another cultivator nodded and spoke slowly.

"I'm not interested in other pills, but if he really has a pill that can propel someone into the Divine Gaze Realm, then I want one."

The speaker was just another Other Shore Realm cultivator, but the fervor on his face was exceptionally intense.

Not just him wanting it, all the major sects had already started to stir.

Even the Inspectorate requested the pills; could they be fake then?

Moreover, the rumors originated from White Emperor City, which was easy to verify; just by going there, it couldn't be hidden from the cultivators there.

One pill that could create a Divine Gaze Realm cultivator! Unheard of!

What sect could refuse such pills? What cultivator could refuse?

"Did the Inspectorate sell me out?"

Han Yu listened in disbelief; such well-evidenced rumors, no, this wasn't mere rumors anymore, it essentially publicized all the Inspectorate's data on him; a lot of things he did publicly had all been outlined.

Why suspect the Inspectorate, because back then when Gao Feng discussed alchemy, only the Inspectorate knew, no one else could have known.

He simply couldn't understand why the Inspectorate would do this.

Given this setup, even if he didn't go around making trouble for the Imperial Court, the sects in the Cultivator Realm would be thrown into chaos first.

"Fortunately, if this had broken out right at the start, you'd have been eaten alive."

The artifact spirit sighed in his Sea of Consciousness.

Back then when Han Yu traveled through various state prefectures, he never stayed long in one place, even if a few knew about these odd pills, they couldn't spread the word.

"They are after the West River Pill."

Han Yu shook his head, compared to those odd pills, the West River Pill was seen very rarely, known only to Young Master Xiao, Lu Dayou, and Lin Fei.

But the effect of the West River Pill undoubtedly made it the pill that most easily captivated hearts.

Who wouldn't want a pill to save years of cultivation, achieving breakthroughs in one fell swoop?

"What if a sect asks me for the West River Pill, and I can't give it, then what?"

Han Yu spoke in his Sea of Consciousness.

Glass's expression turned dark; if it were edible, giving it wouldn't be a loss, only afraid of those who lack any Qi fortune demanding pills.

"You'd probably get killed by all the sects in the Cultivator Realm."

Because without Qi fortune, Han Yu couldn't even provide the pill.

Unless the bottle gets exposed.

If the bottle is exposed, the resulting commotion would be even more frightening.

Having pills at most makes one a pharmacist.

But having a glazed bottle that can produce pills makes anyone want to kill Han Yu for exclusive possession.

How could refining pills continue then?

As soon as any pill is taken out, it would attract a horde of cultivators wanting an effortless gain.

"Sir!"

A faint voice came from his side, and Han Yu looked in its direction, it was just a junior Other Shore Realm cultivator in plain robes blending in with the crowd.

The cultivator saluted him with a cupped fist, glanced towards a distant place, and then walked out.

Han Yu, curious, followed along only to see the cultivator solemnly cupping his fists in respect.

"Sir, I am a dark scout in external intelligence from the Inspectorate."

A person from the Inspectorate?

"The Dark Scouts from various places received an urgent report from Ascension Tower, unexpectedly meeting you here, sir. Your files were not leaked by the Inspectorate; we never harbored any ill intentions toward you."

The cultivator spoke solemnly, evidently relaying a message instructed by the Ascension Tower for Han Yu.

However, after finishing, his expression was not too good-looking. While explaining candidly, it wasn't leaked by the Inspectorate, but it did originate from there.

Now each cultivator in the Ascension Tower must undergo rigorous reevaluation, as the intelligence institution, under the Imperial Court's purview, indeed had been infiltrated, and it was said the Tower Master was quite furious.

"An inside man?"

Han Yu instantly understood, and he was sure, it must be the Corpse Refining Lineage behind this mess.

At this moment, he genuinely had some admiration for the other party, for being able to plant their people even inside the Ascension Tower of the Imperial Court.

"Could the sir refrain from making appearances for a period of time?"

The cultivator spoke sincerely.

"Is that the wish of your Tower Master?"

Han Yu frowned, being advised not to appear also implicitly meant pausing the matter of pills.

This was naturally the intention of Quan Xiaotong, the Corpse Refining Lineage's game plan was shrewd. This stratagem not only caused trouble for Han Yu but also disrupted the stability the Inspectorate aimed to maintain.

Disregarding the major sects, there were countless small sects in the Cultivator Realm. If everyone was enticed, the resulting chaos wouldn't be minor; it'd be enough to exhaust the Imperial Court.

"Moreover, the Tower Master asked us to convey a message if we encounter you, sir, informing you that the Inspectorate cannot clarify this matter. Please forgive us, sir."

The cultivator cupped his hands apologetically.

Unable to clarify?

Right, as long as the Inspectorate doesn't step forward, for most, it'll remain just rumors.

No matter how well-reasoned many of the details appear.

If the Inspectorate goes public, they either lie or disclose the complete records truthfully.

As an institution bridging the Imperial Court and the Cultivator Realm, lying isn't plausible.

Truthfully revealing it would, however, solidify Han Yu's situation for the Corpse Refining Lineage.

By then, every cultivator would know about it.

Hence, the Inspectorate is disgusted with the tactic used by the Corpse Refining Lineage.

"That, I might not be able to do."

Stopping, Han Yu indeed could manage now.

The power lay in his hands.

But having come this far, while the bottle revived, he too gained substantial benefits.

Not stepping out for a period could stretch endlessly; wouldn't it mean as long as those people don't give up, he'd have to stay hidden forever?

Is it possible? Not possible.

Probably both sides greatly misunderstood his strength.

Especially the Corpse Refining Lineage, otherwise how could Black Robe and Bai Bufen suffer consecutive defeats.

Now he'd love to run into Ma Mian, then deliver him a big surprise.
