After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 296 - 237: The Other Side Is Famous for Killing People_2

Chapter 296: Chapter 237: The Other Side Is Famous for Killing People_2

Who would have thought that the path behind them would collapse entirely.

And sensory perception has become utterly useless.

Not only that, contacting the outside world was also impossible.

What should they do now?

Dig their way out?

"I don’t know. I felt something emerging from below and that caused the cave to collapse.

Furthermore, we are already in that strange area.

It seems there’s a Barrier here, it won’t be easy to get out." Gu An spoke with uncertainty.

He wasn’t well-versed in Arrays.

But Hua Jiyang would occasionally send him one.

So he had a basic understanding.

They were covered by something similar to an Array.

And it was activated.

Difficult to get in, difficult to get out.

Fortunately, within this area, there wouldn’t be any new collapses.

Otherwise, there would be new troubles.

"Can’t... can’t get out?" The man leading the way found it hard to believe.

He was just supposed to be guiding them, how could he have become trapped here?

"Fellow daoist, with your Golden Core Cultivation, you could try and see."

Gu An suggested he use an attack to try and breakthrough.

To see if it’s possible to penetrate the mountain.

Even though Golden Core strength might not be enough to break through, it should at least be able to touch the Barrier.

"Don’t use a wide range attack, just focus on a single point and extend it," Gu An reminded.

The man hesitated, but ultimately did not try.

Instead, he said, "I choose to believe you. Can I really get out alive if I do as you say?

I don’t want to die yet."

Gu An was slightly surprised: "How can you, a fellow daoist in the Early Stage of Golden Core, not have your own thoughts?"

"If I did, why would I be reduced to guiding you?" the other replied with a sense of helplessness.

Gu An fell silent, momentarily at a loss for words.

"First, let’s count our numbers, then try to dig through the collapse," Gu An said.

"I thought you said we couldn’t dig our way out?" the man asked curiously. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

After a pause, he added, "My name is Huang Yunshan. And you, fellow daoist?"

"Gu An." Gu An gave his name and pointed to the people behind him, "Just because you believe me doesn’t mean they believe me too."

"Aren’t you the leader? Why wouldn’t they have faith?" Huang Yunshan asked, baffled.

Gu An smiled faintly, no answer given.

Among these people, there were definitely those stronger than him.

And not a few.

Otherwise, how would they be entangled with a Direct Disciple?

Gu An looked back at the twenty or so people and said, "Fellow senior brothers and sisters, have you rested well?

If you’ve rested enough, let’s start digging. Once the tunnel is open, we can get out."

Upon hearing this, Lin Rou and the others exchanged glances.

Eventually, Lin Rou spoke up, "Didn’t the senior brother just say we couldn’t get out even if we dug through?"

They weren’t deaf.

They had heard what Gu An said.

"Do you believe it?" Gu An asked.

Everyone remained silent.

Gu An continued, "Then I’ll give you two options. One, stay and dig at the collapsed building site; two, dig out the tunnel.

Choose one and stand on the left side, choose two and stand on the right side."

Lin Rou and Shan Yuanyong chose the left side.

They felt Gu An could still be trusted.

Then out of the twenty people, fifteen made their choice.

Seven chose one, eight chose two.

Five didn’t move, two of whom were injured in the legs and unable to move.

Gu An turned to them, "And what about you?"

"We choose one," they said.

At this moment, looking at Gu An, they felt a sense of inexplicable shame and fear.

They were injured, and if they couldn’t recover, they might be abandoned.

Thus Gu An looked toward the last three people.

Among them, one was in the Early Stage of Primordial Spirit, and two were at Golden Core Perfection.

They seemed to be a small group.

"And you?" Gu An asked.

The leader, a middle-aged man, spoke up, "We’re in a special situation now, so naturally, we’ll make the most advantageous choice.

Actually, neither digging through the tunnel nor digging out the collapse is the best option.

Quietly waiting for rescue from the outside is the most sensible decision.

Keep in mind that this is an important place, and people outside will surely find a way to dig through."

With that, he looked at the people around and said, "So you have a third option, that is to play it by ear."

Suddenly, everyone started to waver.

It seemed to them that what he said made sense.

"You’re merely at the Early Stage of Golden Core, and our cultivation is no weaker than yours, our experiences even more so.

At this time, with your sufficient cultivation, it’s best to follow our experiences, so that we can maximize the chances of finding a way out," the middle-aged man said with a smile, seemingly confident he had Gu An figured out.

The people around were also tempted to move towards the center.

Gu An didn’t pay attention to the people at the sidelines but instead looked at the two people beside the middle-aged man, "And what about you two, the same choice as his?"

"Yes, we also think that playing it by ear is the best," they answered.

Gu An nodded, "Alright, it is indeed an option."

Hearing this, the three were overjoyed.

The others had already begun to move towards the center.

However, suddenly the light of a blade flashed.

As their smiles lingered, the blade sliced straight through.

Suddenly, the three felt a change in their field of vision, as if it got higher.

Then with a bang.

They felt themselves fall to the ground.

Their heads hit the ground hard, causing a burst of pain.

They were even bewildered when they saw their own bodies.

What happened?

It wasn’t until they saw the knife in Gu An’s hand fall.

That they realized they had been killed.

They never anticipated that the opponent would aim for the head as soon as they struck.

Their consciousness quickly faded away.

Blood gushed out, splashing onto the faces of the five people who were about to come over.

Thus, Gu An turned his head towards the five and said, "Are you also planning to play it by ear?"

In an instant, the five saw the indifferent and cold look in Gu An’s eyes.

They shivered.

Their legs inexplicably felt heavy.

Some were so frightened they couldn’t move.

But they desperately shook their heads: "No, no."

"That’s for the best." Gu An turned to the fifteen who were still able to move and said:

"Then let’s begin."

Lin Rou and others were also shocked; they had never expected Gu An to start killing people.

The person before them seemed...

They pondered for a moment, recalling the rumors about Gu An.

Then they finally understood.

The person before them seemed to have always been a god of slaughter.

He became famous for killing people.

"But we don’t have tools," Lin Rou spoke up.

Several people nodded dumbly.

They all seemed to have been frightened by Gu An’s methods.

Although they had been stronger than Gu An before, but now...

The opponent could kill them at will.

And to break free from the restraints on them, they couldn’t count on Gu An.

"I have some." Huang Yunshan said, handing over a bunch of pickaxe heads.

Thus, everyone picked up the tools and started to dig.

Some dug tunnels, others dug out the collapsed ground beneath their feet.

Gu An looked at the two still on the ground and asked, "Can you get up?"

"Yes, we can." They said as they gritted their teeth and stood up.

Afraid the other party would think they were worthless and just kill them off.

"Take the tools, bury them, then rest for a day. After that, go dig somewhere else," Gu An said calmly.

The two hurriedly nodded.

That the other party would even let them rest was truly generous.

As for the three who died,

They got what they deserved.

At this time, to stand out and oppose,

Would mean the presence of a second voice.

This would cause division in the team.

The most unfavorable outcome.

Killing them directly would leave only one voice in the team.

As long as this person made the right decisions, they stood a great chance of surviving.

And regarding Gu An...

They felt he might be the one to make the right decisions.

After all, he had predicted the collapse before it happened.

Gu An watched them work without speaking.

He could feel strange fluctuations beneath the ground, waiting would surely lead to problems.

He must do something.

To wait and see, for him, would be like awaiting death.

Whether it was the collapse or the tunnel, he wanted to try.

Not necessarily to find something.

But there might be some discoveries.

He felt something was trying to surround them.

So waiting would most likely lead to death.

Therefore, he couldn’t let those three live.

To appeal to their emotions or explain reasoning, that was impossible.

They wouldn’t listen to him.

After all, although his reputation was high in the Sect...

Not a single message showed that he had strong cultivation or abilities.

Even he himself didn’t feel that way.

"What do we do now? Should I dig?" Huang Yunshan asked.

Gu An shook his head, then asked, "Where is that forest?"

He wanted to see if he could go logging.

If it was possible and profitable, then...

It wasn’t out of the question to get out.
