After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 294 - 237: There’s a Pitch-Black Forest Here

"I feel like I can leave at any time, and am ready to leave whenever."

Yu Tu’s expression changed over and over again, and finally he asked, "Am I, am I a genius?"

"Is it not the case?" Gu An retorted.

Yu Tu seemed to recall a lot, in the end he said, "I, I am a fool, that’s what they all say about me."

Gu An looked at him, remaining silent.

Yu Tu was born in a small place, and grew up with his childhood sweethearts.

At first, they should have been the closest of people.

But after joining the Sect, his clever childhood friend saw things clearly and developed selfish desires.

While Yu Tu, who clung to the past, became the "fool" she spoke of with contempt.

Deceived, played with, and insulted by his childhood friend, even his parents discarded their dignity because of him.

Yu Tu bowed his head, feeling somewhat uneasy and at a loss: "Actually, actually I’ve thought about a lot, I, I still can’t understand, I only know to treat well those who are kind to me.

But I didn’t expect, expect the outcome to be like this.

Still, now I know, everything I have today is thanks to Senior Brother, I will repay Senior Brother."

Looking at Yu Tu’s uneasy yet determined demeanor, Gu An spoke softly, "No worries, you are still young, there’s a long road ahead of you, you’ll eventually see things clearly."

"Young?" Yu Tu pointed at himself and said, "I am no longer young."

Gu An stood up and looked at the sky, "Is youth measured by age? To be young is to have a brave heart, not fearing time or the wind, the east wind cannot wake the sleeping youth’s dream, life cannot smooth out the young heart.

A journey of mountains and rivers, where in life can’t we meet?

Even if we part and never return, in dreams, we can still meet."

Gu An lowered his gaze to Yu Tu beside him, "Work hard, your future is still long."

Brave people, usually have a firm heart.

They strive, to experience the heights of mountains and the length of roads.

Gu An himself can’t do it anymore, he has aged, and no longer possesses that much courage.

He only dares to act when his personal safety is assured.

Afterward, Gu An took his leave.

Yu Tu sat in his original spot, silent for a long while.

Unsure of what he was thinking.

At noon that day.

Gu An appeared at the Law Enforcement Hall, to report that he had a mission tomorrow.

To register.

The Immortal in charge of the registration looked at Gu An as if she was looking at a rare specimen.

After Gu An left, she commented to the person beside her, "Look, that’s him, the most prestigious person in the Sect recently."

"Ah? That’s him? He looks quite old, I thought it was a young Senior Brother."

"Indeed, quite ordinary, unlike some of the other Senior Brothers and Sisters, could it be a mistake?"

"It’s definitely him, but he does look pretty normal, maybe just lucky, perhaps he will be gradually forgotten with time."

"It’s a pity, I wonder when will those Senior Brothers and Sisters we pay attention to will be known by everyone."

Gu An felt these people were quite superficial.

Judging by appearances.

It’s fine this way, everyone thinks he’s an anomaly.

So, not many people will pay too much attention.

It will be safer that way.

Didn’t expect that getting old had such benefits.

The next day.

Gu An went to the Outer Peak, his mission was simply to wait at the Outer Peak.

After a while, a flying boat appeared above the Outer Peak.

Standing on it were four people.

Gu An leaped aboard.

He saw a group of people being controlled in the center.

About fifty or sixty individuals.

Aside from Gu An, those guarding them were the five people he just saw.

Gu An walked over and respectfully performed a greeting, "Gu An, greets my Senior Brothers and Sisters."

The four individuals, with the man appearing to be in his thirties leading them.

Cultivation at the Mid-stage Nascent Soul.

The other three, a woman at the Early Stage Nascent Soul, looking quite aloof.

There were two more, a robust man at Golden Core Perfection, around twenty-five or twenty-six years old, arms crossed, quite sturdy-looking.

The last woman, at Golden Core Late Stage, in her early twenties, holding a green sword, had high regards in her gaze.

When Gu An looked at her, he always felt a slight disdain from her.

"Everyone’s here, let’s set off then," the leading man nodded slightly and spoke.

On the way, Gu An finally figured out the names of these people.

The leading man, a disciple from Qianchen Peak, named Lai Yunlong, with Mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivation. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

The Early Stage Nascent Soul Immortal was a disciple from Spirit Bamboo Peak, Ran Qing.

The robust man at Golden Core Perfection was from Spirit Controlling Peak, named Shi Jing.

And the last high-eyed woman at Golden Core Late Stage, was from Heavenly Suspension Peak, named Xia Li.

Gu An pondered for a bit, realizing that the cultivation levels were arranged in order.

He was the weakest.

Then going up in minor realms.

But this time, he just needed to follow orders.

It takes a little over a day to reach Linghua Valley.

Gu An is just quietly standing his post.

This is the task given by the team leader.

As for other tasks, the other party didn’t mention any, and he didn’t ask.

Since he wasn’t well-regarded, speaking would have been pointless.

Fortunately, it was just an escort mission, followed by digging through the mountain.

The next afternoon.

Gu An breathed a sigh of relief; everything went smoothly.

Now they had arrived in front of a mountain range.

This place was the breeding ground for Linghua Valley.

Gu An looked around and noticed that a corner of one of the peaks had collapsed.

Perhaps this collapse was what Pang Wen had been talking about.

On the way here, they indeed saw a group of buildings.

At this time, there were three strong practitioners at the Early Stage of the Primordial Spirit realm staying here.

"Fellow daoists from Cangmu Sect?" asked the middle-aged man leading them.

Lai Yunlong stepped forward and said, "Our people have arrived, what are you planning to do?"

The middle-aged man glanced at the people on the deck and said:

"Naturally, we are going to enter that area and dig out the building underneath."

"Lead the way," said Lai Yunlong.

Gu An was quite surprised, was it that simple?

He had thought they would need to exchange pleasantries for a while and then choose an auspicious day to begin digging.

In a short while,

They arrived in front of a cave.

The middle-aged man pointed to the cave and said, "The collapsed area is inside; moreover, because of you all, I’m no longer certain if the cave is safe.

You all should be well-prepared before entering."

At this time, Lai Yunlong turned to look at Gu An and said, "Junior Brother Gu, you take a team in to check it out first and then report back on the situation after you confirm the location."

Gu An nodded.

His own team was the weakest and they were not familiar with him, so naturally, the dangerous task would be given to him.

"Additionally, anything you find inside must be returned to us," said the middle-aged man.

Gu An simply nodded, then led a team of people into the cave.

Lin Rou and her team were in this group.

"Senior Brother, what do we do if something happens?" Ran Qing asked.

"Senior Sister worries too much. Everyone says he has high merits, but he was still sent out, which means everything is as usual.

Otherwise, why would they send someone with high merits like him for such a task?

If something happens, it means that his skills were inferior.

Merit Hall certainly won’t say anything.

Otherwise, Merit Hall would have intervened long ago," Xia Li said disdainfully:

"Everyone says he’s highly esteemed at Heavenly Suspension Peak, but he’s actually just a clown.

His strength is too weak.

It’s merely good luck that got him the Spirit Bamboo, otherwise, he’s nothing.

It’s just a fluke.

No matter how good his luck is, he still needs sufficient strength.

Otherwise, he will eventually be swallowed by disaster."

Gu An, walking at the front, paid no attention to the conversation outside.

Although they spoke softly and used talismans, Gu An’s cultivation was too high.

The Qi Breathing Chapter combined with Seven Emotions and Six Desires allowed him to perceive things better than others.

He could only lament that these people did not use better talismans.

Following that, Gu An entered the cave, staying alert all around.

In fact, Linghua Valley had also sent a Golden Core practitioner in with them.

"This senior brother, this place isn’t that dangerous. We have been in and out many times.

It’s only the collapsed areas that might be dangerous; just follow me," said the guide, a man who looked to be in his mid-twenties.

Gu An nodded and followed the man, but suddenly, the Blood Spirit he had released disappeared.

He paused and said, "Wait a moment."

Everyone was somewhat surprised.

The guide asked curiously, "What’s the matter?"

"There’s something not right ahead," Gu An stated.

He tried to sense the area, but found his perception was obstructed.

It seemed like something was forming an array.

Yet to the naked eye, there was nothing.

"Perception blocked? It’s fine, that’s normal. Just follow me," the guide said with a smile.

Gu An was silent for a moment, then still followed, continuing to release Blood Spirits to inspect.

He always felt that this cave was unsafe.

"Our people have also explored and it seems that deep inside they found a forest; it’s the things over there that affect this place," the guide said.

Gu An was stunned for a moment.

A forest?

Could it be cut down?
