After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 315 - 247: Out of the Law Enforcement Hall This Afternoon, Back In Again
Chapter 315: Chapter 247: Out of the Law Enforcement Hall This Afternoon, Back In Again
The dark room was cold and quiet.
Only at the very top was there a small window, through which faint moonlight seeped.
Yet it failed to allow the person below to see the ground.
At this time, Gu An sat silently in the room.
He couldn’t understand why that person shattered his heart meridian.
Even if they found him disagreeable or had enough hatred toward him.
But to go as far as to shatter the heart meridian.
What kind of hatred justified using one’s life to frame him?
Gu An had killed people before and had been targeted himself.
He could understand some of the thought processes behind such actions.
But he had never seen anyone bet their own life before.
Once dead, there’s nothing left.
What kind of conviction does it take to wish for one’s own death in exchange for another’s?
After the other party died, the people from the Law Enforcement Hall arrived.
He personally twisted off the opponent’s arm, and then the opponent’s heart meridian trembled to death.
No matter how you look at it, it seemed like he was the murderer.
Daring to commit murder even when the Sect was under strict law, he naturally couldn’t escape.
Without any surprise, Gu An was captured.
He was brought back to the Law Enforcement Hall again.
He couldn’t resist and could only accept the investigation.
Ever since becoming a member of the Demon Sect, murdering within the Sect seemed to have become a very serious matter.
In the past, it also depended on luck; if unlucky, the consequences would be severe.
But now...
With no merit on his record, his fate would surely be grim.
But no one interrogated him; they just asked him to wait.
To wait for their investigation.
However, what he cared about most throughout the process was that fellow sect member who wielded a Giant Sword.
What kind of grudge justified his actions to such an extent?
But the Law Enforcement Hall’s investigation hadn’t concluded yet.
So Gu An could only wait.
Until after midnight.
He discovered that there was feedback from the Ring of Destiny.
[Yesterday morning, Shi Yuan felt that just influencing your status within the Sect was too slow to take effect, so he temporarily found someone to contact the three men on your team, hoping they could provoke you to make a move on them, attracting the Law Enforcement Hall’s attention to add more troubles.
They thought about it and planned to execute the scheme, but Shi Yuan’s real aim was to get you, in your recklessness, to kill them.
To ensure infallibility, he notified the people from the Blood Refining Sect, and he successfully contacted Qian Guanghe and gave him a Heart-Protecting Pill.
He said as long as you get seriously injured, directly shattering your heart meridian would doom you.
Meanwhile, he would enter a state of suspended animation, and later return to normal.
But how could suspended animation deceive the Law Enforcement Hall?
Instead, it would make the Merit Hall want to find out who was behind it all.
So the elixir was fake.
When Shi Yuan was having tea with someone, he mocked your recklessness, saying you’d only think those people were there to cause trouble, never guessing he was sending them to their deaths.
He hoped you would kill them.
Thus making the Law Enforcement Hall take action against you.]
Looking at the feedback from the Ring of Destiny, Gu An remained silent.
From the feedback, he learned of Senior Brother Shi’s plan, but didn’t expect him to have changed the plan.
The Ring of Destiny could only feedback on the previous day’s events.
So there was no way to know about any last-minute changes.
Thus, he couldn’t know what the other party intended to do next.
It was his naivety.
Additionally...
That sect Junior Brother had intended to fake his death, unfortunately for him, the person behind him wanted him truly dead.
"Truly venomous."
However, encountering such trouble this time was fundamentally his own fault.
He had thought he could take whatever move the other made.
Who would have thought the other party wouldn’t take human life seriously?
As long as it could affect him, whether his people lived or died didn’t matter.
Ultimately, he was inferior to these people.
They lived longer and had stronger minds than he did.
He didn’t know much, and his wit and scheming were definitely incomparable to those who frequently honed such skills.
Therefore, he shouldn’t have waited for the other party to make a move under any condition.
When capable, he should have eliminated these dangers.
His Primordial Spirit Perfection level of cultivation was pressured into this state by someone at the Late-stage Primordial Spirit level.
The opponent was out there, carefree and orchestrating strategies.
While he...
Gu An looked at the dark cell, remaining silent.
His heart also started to settle down, silently reciting the Seven Emotions and Six Desires.
Regardless, all he could do now was maintain calm and adapt to changes with unchanging resolve.
Having a heart like an empty valley, peaceful and unrippled.
With the Merit Hall’s merits accounted for, even if he did truly kill the man, he should be able to leave safely.
But losing merit was easy, and gaining it back was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
This loss...
He didn’t want to accept it, but he had to.
After dawn.
Gu An welcomed a visitor.
She looked at him and said with a smile, "Hey, who’s this, we meet again."
Gu An looked at the person before him, slightly surprised, "Senior."
"I came to see you, aren’t you moved?" Chu Meng said with a laugh.
Gu An nodded slightly, "Thank you, Senior."
"As your superior, you can shout it out loud; even though you’re older, you haven’t followed the wrong person," Chu Meng declared with her head high and chest out.
Gu An: "..."
You really don’t know how to speak.
"Why did Senior come here?" Gu An asked.
"I came to look for experimental subjects for my Alchemy; I need some people to test-eat, so naturally, I have to cooperate with the Law Enforcement Hall.
There are many Alchemy Masters in our Spirit Bamboo Peak, and some like to do their own Alchemy.
But you can’t test it on yourself, right?
It’s also not allowed to test on ordinary disciples since the Sect doesn’t agree.
Secretly spending Spirit Stones could work, indeed, but there are risks.
It’s much better here in the Law Enforcement Hall; some people can’t leave anyway, and trying on them might yield unexpected results," Chu Meng explained truthfully.
Gu An was silent for a moment; so she did not come to see him.
"Then on the way, I found out you were brought in again, so I just came to have a look," Chu Meng took out some peanuts and handed them over casually, "Do you want some?"
Gu An glanced at the peanuts, then grabbed a handful and asked, "Are peanuts really that delicious?"
