After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 276 - 228: Massacre

Leaving the Task Hall.

Ruan Huan began to discuss the task.

"When Elder Brother Pang Wen and the others went, the task was said to be an architectural issue. Linghua Valley has enclosed a Spiritual Beast Breeding Farm in a range of mountains and needed some buildings.

The wooden structures were all made by our people.

Ideally, these buildings should keep spirit beasts at bay and be imperceptible to them.

Yet, three months after the construction was completed, it not only failed to keep the spirit beasts away, but they even started attacking.

Linghua Valley believes there was a problem with either the architecture or the spirit wood.

Elder Sister Shu Ci said this matter could be both troublesome and simple.

We need to investigate first.

Now that the team leaders are going, it seems to have become troublesome."

Ruan Huan spoke very earnestly.

Gu An lowered his gaze.

He knew very little about architecture.

This matter was probably something that Team Two would look into before reporting.

The builders should be the ones to handle it.

If there’s a major issue...

That would indeed be troublesome.

People from the Main Court would ask them to continue trying other methods.

But some things can’t be achieved by effort alone; this matter involves people from the Front Courtyard and the Right Courtyard.

The construction was done by the Front Courtyard, while the planning should have been by the Right Courtyard.

The Left Court is mostly overseen by disciples from the mountain, even Direct Disciples.

The Right Courtyard consists of genuinely skilled people, backed by the strong cultivators of various peaks.

After all, many aspects of architectural design are involved, with Arrays being the most fundamental.

Thus, this matter could potentially become a significant task.

After having a good understanding of the situation.

Gu An looked at Ruan Huan and said, "You go back; I’ll be fine going there on my own."

Hearing this, Ruan Huan was slightly surprised, "Doesn’t the team leader need me to guide the way? I know the route."

Gu An shook his head, "No need, you stay here and see if there’s anything else to handle."

Huan hesitated for a moment but eventually nodded.

And so Gu An left alone, controlling his sword.

He did not know much about Linghua Valley, nor did he understand this Spiritual Beast Breeding Farm.

He didn’t even know where the place was.

The reason he didn’t want a guide was simply because it was easier to go alone.

The Spirit Controlling Peak people would surely make their move this time out.

So there was no need to bring along an extra burden.

This would limit his ability to exert his full power.

Additionally, he needed to ascertain Elder Huang’s integrity.

Quite troublesome.

Just after he left on his sword, Gu An slightly furrowed his brows.

He sensed that Elder Huang did not follow him out.

Instead, it was a Golden Core that followed.

Probably someone close to Elder Huang.

"Is this a change of heart?"

Gu An was a bit surprised in his heart.

But he was not in a hurry and continued to control his sword forward.

In less than thirty minutes, he felt some people appear around him.

Two of them were Golden Core Late Stage.

After completely leaving the Sect’s territory, Gu An finally stopped.

Because there were already two people waiting for him in midair.

A man and a woman, both Golden Core Late Stage.

Their Qi seemed somewhat frivolous and unstable in foundation.

But before they could speak, Gu An detected three spirit beasts rapidly approaching.

One was flying in the sky, and two were on the ground, looking up.

All three were of Golden Core Late Stage cultivation.

This shocked Gu An.

For a Golden Core Early Stage like himself, was such a big scene necessary?

Five Golden Core Late Stage individuals appeared.

The man with an expressionless face looked at Gu An, "Gu An?"

Gu An nodded, "Who might you be, Elder Brother?"

"You have two choices, one is to break both your arms and come with us, the other is for us to break your limbs and take you away." The man’s indifferent expression seemed to convey a matter-of-fact occurrence.

Gu An looked at the person in front of him and curiously asked, "Who is looking for me?"

"You do not need to know."

"Sword Control Peak’s Si Wuye?"

Upon hearing this, the two were a bit surprised.

It seemed that was indeed the case.

"For Li Yue?" Gu An asked again.

"How did she die?" the woman inquired.

Gu An shook his head, "I don’t know."

"Let us see your Storage Treasure," the woman suddenly demanded.

Gu An asked out of curiosity, "What if you find nothing?"

"You’ll accompany us to meet Elder Brother," the woman said seriously, "If it’s not you, we will clear your name."

"And what about the limbs I would have broken?" Gu An inquired.

"Shouldn’t you be grateful to be alive?" the woman chuckled, "What do you think gives you the right to negotiate with us?

Being able to talk more than necessary should make you grateful.

Additionally, even though you are the Peak Master’s disciple, no one will stand up for you.

Competition among disciples within the Sect is common.

Especially for incidents like these that no one cares about.

Not to mention being taken away outside of the Sect."

"Can’t Elder Brother and Sister let me off?" Gu An asked.

"Let you off?" The woman looked at Gu An with a disdainful laugh, "Golden Core Early Stage? Are you worth it?"

"How can you prove that Sister Li Yue’s matter has nothing to do with you?" the man suddenly asked.

Gu An pondered for a long time before answering, "There’s no way to prove it."

"Then that says Sister Li Yue’s matter is related to you. Taking you away to seek justice for Sister Li Yue, what’s wrong with that? Why must Junior Brother be so unwilling?" The man spoke with a smile, "It’s not that we are pressuring you aggressively, but rather giving Junior Brother a chance to prove himself, a pity Junior Brother is underperforming."

Hearing this, Gu An remained silent.

If the person wasn’t really killed by himself, he’s been wronged again today.

The Sect’s people are quite adept at finding the culprit.

Every accusation is accurate.

Gu An sighed inwardly.

It must be that his own methods were lacking, always leaving traces.

Making others suspect him.

He sighed inwardly and started to notice that the hidden Golden Core individual was watching.

Six people in total.

That’s it, right?

"Any last words?" Gu An suddenly inquired.

Initially, the woman thought Gu An was about to offer his last words, but once she understood, she laughed coldly,

"Looking for death."

As her words fell, she casually beckoned.

Roar!
