After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 306 - 242: Colluding with the Demon Sect, Betraying the Sect (Part 2)
Chapter 306: Chapter 242: Colluding with the Demon Sect, Betraying the Sect (Part 2)
"Did you read it?" Gu An asked, looking at the other person.
Shu Ci lowered her head, then said, "I did."
Gu An turned to look at Pang Wen and noticed he seemed a bit anxious, so he asked, "You read it too?"
Pang Wen readily admitted, "I did. I was the one who let Junior Sister Shu Ci read it. If the leader wants to punish someone, punish me."
Gu An looked at him and said, "You’re quite the responsible senior brother."
Without waiting for them to explain, he asked, "What was in it?"
Seeing that Gu An didn’t seem to blame them, Pang Wen was a bit indignant and said, "It was a letter written by his childhood sweetheart, saying she received a letter from home, informing her that Junior Brother Yu Tu’s family was abducted by bandits and their fate was unknown.
To find out more, he should go see her, and he must leave the Outer Peak.
To become independent, he must not accept the help of others.
She’s treating him like this to mold him into a true, self-reliant man.
If she didn’t care, why be unhappy with some of his actions and take extreme measures?
It’s all for his own good."
After speaking, Pang Wen said, "Although I don’t know what really happened, I feel that this Immortal has a sinister heart."
Gu An wasn’t surprised, just asked, "What about the rest?"
"Since we read the letter, we had to find out the truth, so we investigated Junior Brother Yu Tu’s family and went over there.
Found out they really were taken by bandits.
And those bandits are actually in contact with Junior Brother Yu Tu’s childhood friend’s family." Shu Ci laughed, "We made the bandits release them, but we also aren’t unreasonable, just gave Junior Brother Yu Tu’s childhood friend’s parents to him.
Then wrote a letter to the Cangmu Sect.
After that, they behaved."
"But we didn’t reveal our identities," Pang Wen said seriously.
Gu An watched them, thinking that these people were quite idle.
After a moment of silence, he looked at them and said, "When Yu Tu exits seclusion, tell him the truth."
After confirming there weren’t any troublesome tasks, Gu An let them leave.
After all, there were still some normal tasks that required communication with various sects.
Once he had some free time, Gu An started to assess the gains from killing Si Wuye.
For some reason, the other party wasn’t as wealthy as expected.
Just over ten thousand Spirit Stones.
The total with the others was also just over ten thousand.
Which meant he currently had forty-five thousand Spirit Stones.
Besides these, there were some Elixirs and Talismans.
And one or two Magic Treasures.
A shield and a pair of gloves.
Gu An tested them, finding the shield was low-level, with no reason to keep it.
The gloves weren’t good either.
Not as good as the Power Storage Bracelet Chu Meng gave.
However, he did get a Spiritual Method.
It was Si Wuye’s, the Hundred Battle Spirit Method.
*Enhancing Divine Thought through battle, the more one fights, the stronger one becomes, far surpassing others of the same realm, but it’s easy to experience Deviation.*
*This is the reason for his mental torment.*
*Also why, if he could endure it, he could advance smoothly.*
*After Deviation, as long as one survives, one can improve.*
Gu An put it away, having no intention of cultivating it.
The "Seven Emotions and Six Desires" was also a Spiritual Method.
*At present, the "Seven Emotions and Six Desires" seems stronger, so there’s no need to switch.*
However, with so many Spirit Stones, perhaps he could purchase a Cultivation Technique.
*Just unsure when Hua Jiyang would send news.*
Three days later.
Gu An received a transmission; it was from Mei Jianghe.
He said the items were confirmed.
Because it concerned the entire sect, there was no way to specify the use.
However, once established, it would provide Gu An with a private small Barrier, but he would need to incorporate his own Array into it to control the residence Barrier.
Not only would it be difficult for others to enter, but the Spiritual Energy would also be much higher.
Gu An was a bit surprised there was such a benefit.
Aside from this, there was the Merit.
A discussion had taken place, and although he didn’t top the list, he combined with previous achievements he could rank second.
Second place, Gu An felt a sense of relief.
*That was fine too.*
Moreover, how many Barriers would there be at the residence, one or two?
Gu An specifically went to ask.
Knowing the general situation, the other party said it could be two.
However, if in the future he didn’t work at the Outer Peak, the small Barrier would be reclaimed.
*Recognizing the person, not the place.*
As long as he held a position within the Sect, he could bring the Barrier with him.
Gu An was slightly shocked.
*This was indeed unexpected.*
*Such good treatment.*
*Was this still the sect he knew?*
*Being on the Merit List really made a difference, but the items he turned in were indeed useful to the sect.*
*Of little use to him.*
*The only useful aspect might be the ability to log and gain some numbers.*
Afterward, Gu An went back to logging.
No one disturbed him.
Soon, his Magic technique values were full.
This time he still elevated the Qi Sea Sky Gang.
Extracting techniques once again plunged him into a dream state.
Beginning to accumulate Qi Sea Sky Gang.
A year, ten years, fifty years.....
The Gang Qi increased evermore.
Until a hundred years later.
The Gang Qi neared Perfection again.
After a few more years, Gu An opened his eyes.
Without hesitation, he came to the woods and released the Gang Qi.
He dared not release it in the courtyard.
The disturbance was quite large.
Easily discovered.
This time, he drew out an old long knife and operated the Qi Sea Sky Gang.
The Gang Qi enveloped it.
At this moment, the Gang Qi was enveloped by Xuanhuang Qi.
*No longer with the obvious cold feeling as before, nor the Gang Qi’s presence.*
*It was enveloped by Xuanhuang Qi.*
Seeing this scene, Gu An was somewhat astonished.
Casually picking a leaf, covering it with Gang Qi, he then swung it.
Clang!
The leaf embedded itself into the tree trunk.
Gu An sensed it, unexpectedly there was no Qi Sea Sky Gang presence.
*This...*
*Could the Qi Sea Sky Gang obscure the Gang Qi’s presence?*
Looking inside, the cracks on the Poison Pill had grown.
The same went for Xuanhuang Qi.
At this moment, the Xuanhuang Qi covered his entire body, could it also have a concealing effect?
To test it.
He promptly returned to Heavenly Suspension Peak, seeking out the Blood Demon Divine Monarch.
Asked him about his current cultivation.
"Golden Core Middle Stage," the other answered.
Then Gu An dismissed the control of the Qi Breathing Chapter: "What cultivation?"
Currently, Gu An wasn’t hiding his cultivation, just manifesting a normal presence.
*Very dangerous, after all, if his Primordial Spirit Cultivation was detected, he would easily lose his sense of security.*
The Blood Demon Divine Monarch looked bewildered: "Can’t see it, feels like something is obscuring it."
Gu An looked at him and asked, "Are you sure?"
"Sure, it feels like Big Brother’s cultivation should be quite strong, but I can’t see the realm nor determine the level," said the Blood Demon Divine Monarch, looking like a Fat Tiger, seriously.
Gu An nodded.
Continuing to operate the Qi Breathing Chapter, manifesting the Golden Core Middle Stage cultivation.
*In other words, currently, not only could he hide his cultivation, but even have Xuanhuang Qi obscure it?*
*Then how did the Xuanhuang Qi come about?*
*Was it due to cultivating Qi Sea Sky Gang, or was it a mishap of the Poison Pill being wrapped into it?*
*Although curious, he had no answers.*
*Could only continue logging.*
*Not in a rush to extract the Hard Cultivation.*
Five days later, Gu An gradually heard some rumors.
Someone began spreading news that he brought back dark magical creatures not tolerated by the Cultivation World.
*Rippling across like a thousand waves, soon many people began focusing on him again.*
Some even joked, *watching him rise and watching him fall.*
People already dissatisfied with him started to slander him.
Gu An didn’t care.
After all, he didn’t leave the Outer Peak.
Another three days, Pang Wen nervously informed him that now people outside were spreading rumors of him colluding with the Blood Demon and Demon Path, bringing danger into the sect.
*He was called the sect’s sinner, demanding the sect bind him by law.*
*Public criticism insisted on his demise.*
Pang Wen and the others asked what should be done.
Gu An merely advised them to mind their own business and not pay attention.
*This event came quickly and aggressively.*
*Not within his expectations.*
However, the Law Enforcement Hall hadn’t sought him, nor had the sect called upon him.
Chu Meng hadn’t come over either.
*So he continued to wait.*
Another two days.
The sect began spreading that some Immortal Sects learned someone colluded with the Demon Sect, intending to harm countless lives.
They decided to come to execute justice on behalf of heaven.
Many from the Cangmu Sect began to cheer, even looking forward.
Especially the people at the foot of the mountain, impatiently hoping Gu An would be taken away.
They ridiculed, saying the clown should have known this day would come.
*They just felt something wasn’t right.*
*How did such an old Golden Core reach the Merit List?*
*Turns out he collaborated with the Demon Sect.*
*Sect traitor.*
Early February.
Gu An stood at the Outer Peak and saw several bright lights.
The Immortal Sects arrived.
Yet, Gu An still hadn’t received any word from anyone nor had anyone restricted his actions.
*Why was that?*
*This matter caused quite a stir.*
*Many were almost about to tear him apart.*
Some who used to want to be close to him quickly distanced themselves.
*It proved to have an impact, and a significant one.*
While he was puzzled, he suddenly received a message from the Law Enforcement Hall.
It was a restriction order, temporarily preventing him from leaving the sect.
Gu An looked at the restriction order.
Sighed, feeling as if he wasn’t taken seriously.
*After all, he was accused of colluding with the Demon Sect.*
