Chapter 313 - 192: Sect Competition! Cultivator’s Encounter!_4
"Impressive, I alone am already overwhelmed." The male disciple looked at Yuchi with envy.
The female disciple beside him also gave him a glance, and she was very curious and intrigued about Yuchi.
Both of them originally wanted to see what Yuchi looked like, but upon seeing him this time, they found Yuchi wearing a mask. This left them quite helpless; what was the point of wearing a mask in broad daylight, couldn’t they just have a look?
Behind the mask, Yuchi’s face was full of confusion, but he also breathed a slight sigh of relief.
The other party didn’t seem to be a cunning person; with hands clasped behind his back, he appeared profound as he slowly asked:
"What brings you to our sect?"
Upon hearing Yuchi’s inquiry, the two of them immediately began explaining.
The gist was that it was unintentional, and they meant no harm, asking Yuchi to forgive them, saying they were still young and really didn’t want any unnecessary trouble with Yuchi, hoping for Yuchi’s magnanimity and not holding anything against them, stating that they would certainly come to thank him in the future.
Yuchi believed them.
He only had two possible ways to deal with these two people now.
First, he could kill them, but this would undoubtedly set a bad precedent for his sect’s disciples. What if his disciples saw his actions and started killing at will in the future; how would that work? He wants adorable female disciples, not a bunch of bloodthirsty female demons.
Second, he could let them go, but these two might leak information about Ascension Gate. If more people were to gather around Ascension Gate, how would he deal with it? The issues with the Great Tang Prison still unresolved, and Xufu Town’s situation unknown, would Ascension Gate have to face more problems?
It truly gives one a headache.
Has my good and honest life come to an end? Is everything going to become chaotic going forward?
No, this suddenness is unbearable.
Isn’t there a way to avoid harming these two and at the same time prevent news about Ascension Gate from leaking?
Yes, there is.
Yuchi snorted coldly, casually waved his finger towards them, and with the gust from his sweeping sleeve, he completed his incantation gesture.
The two of them were bewildered, looking at their own hands, thinking their fate was sealed, when Yuchi calmly said:
"You two have already been cursed by my talisman. Being the first to accidentally pass by my Ascension Gate, henceforth, if anyone else learns of this, I will follow the talisman and eradicate your entire family without saying much more."
Yuchi’s voice was calm, though he was secretly blushing beneath his mask, thankful for its concealment.
The main reason being Miss Shanlan was watching; with her Golden Core cultivation, he dared not use Spiritual Qi in her presence. Otherwise, revealing it would be instantly detected by others. Better to just casually wave a hand, creating the illusion of successful spellcasting.
The truth is Yuchi honestly doesn’t understand cultivation. When it comes to making money, sure, but fighting is not his forte. Forced into combat, he would have to rely on brute strength.
And his method evidently succeeded.
The female disciples were dumbfounded, especially Miss Shanlan, who expressed a perfect admiration on her Celestial Immortal-like face:
"Sect Leader Senior Brother is indeed Sect Leader Senior Brother, truly an existence transcending the mundane. His spellcasting, I cannot comprehend its depths. Thus, the strength of Sect Leader Senior Brother’s Spiritual Qi and the magnificence of his stature are beyond my ability to fathom. I must continue to cultivate earnestly."
The other two disciples were even more panicked, thinking, "No way, I really don’t feel any change in my body." But you can’t guard against being deceived, like falling ill.
As soon as an image of illness is planted in your mind, the suggestion takes hold, making you feel wrong in every part, just like those two disciples. Despite having no Spiritual Qi ripple, they felt their breathing slowing significantly, not to mention their heartbeat, and eventually ended up kneeling, their whole bodies trembling with an inner coldness.
Moreover, the strength of Huo Shanlan and the message of Yuchi being Huo Shanlan’s sect leader only deepened their belief. Combined with Yuchi traversing space to Ascension Gate, they were wholly convinced!
"He truly is a master! A genuine master!"
They exchanged a glance, kneeled to the ground, reaching forward with their hands as if worshipping Yuchi, their foreheads already pressed to the cold slate stone floor.
At the same time, they said, "Senior, we will certainly not disclose anything about your immortal sect, nor disturb your peace!"
"Surely not, for figures like him were somewhat known before. When they say they’ll destroy your sect, they aren’t joking around."
Hence, this matter would remain a secret buried in their hearts.
