After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 316 - 247: Out of the Law Enforcement Hall This Afternoon, Back In Again (2)

Chapter 316: Chapter 247: Out of the Law Enforcement Hall This Afternoon, Back In Again (2)

Upon hearing this, Chu Meng responded: "Is the girl from the attic really that great?"

Gu An fell silent.

He truly didn’t know.

After all, he had never been there.

This was the case in his past life, and it’s still the same now.

He had no other desires, just to cultivate and devote himself to the Dao.

Otherwise, he would always be bullied.

"Speaking of which, did you kill the person?" Chu Meng asked curiously.

Gu An shook his head: "Not this time, for sure."

"Then were you responsible for the previous ones?" Chu Meng retorted.

Gu An did not know how to respond for a moment.

Are you trying to trick me into saying something?

"It’s actually not a big problem if it wasn’t you who killed them." Chu Meng seriously said: "We’ve become a Demon Sect, and the Law Enforcement Hall has started some reforms, they even provided some magic treasures.

The investigations are carried out extremely thoroughly, and probably in about seven or eight days, everything will be in place.

It’s rare for a murder not to be discovered.

You need to be cautious."

Gu An looked at the other person, feeling that they didn’t believe at all that he wasn’t a person who loved to fight and kill.

"I have to go, I still need to find someone to test my elixir pills, there’s some controversy over your case, but it should be clarified in a day or two whether it was a suicide or not.

As long as it’s confirmed, you’ll be fine.

Normally, it would take many days to clear up, but under the supervision of the Merit Hall, it should be clear today.

If you did kill them, then the Merit Hall would be punishing you directly." Chu Meng said with a laugh.

After a pause, Chu Meng also reminded: "When you get out, remember to complete that mission, and I heard that since the Sect has become a Demon Sect, there will be many issues. Outer Peak might also undergo some changes, so be mentally prepared."

After saying that, he left with a handful of roasted peanuts.

Of course, before leaving, he gave Gu An a handful of peanuts.

He really should thank him.

But since Chu Meng said so, there was a very good chance that he was fine.

In the end, it all comes down to whether it can be clarified if it was a suicide or a homicide.

Indeed, by noon of that day.

The door to Gu An’s prison cell was opened.

The one who came to pick him up was Mei Jianghe.

"Junior Brother Gu, it’s been a while," the other person said with a smile.

"Senior Brother Mei." Gu An greeted respectfully.

"No need to be so formal, it’s been cleared up. The person did indeed commit suicide, it has nothing to do with Junior Brother," Mei Jianghe said with a smile: "However, this person was really interesting.

The people from the Law Enforcement Hall specifically investigated, and it seems the person took an elixir pill and then shattered his Heart Meridian.

The technique to shatter the Heart Meridian is very sophisticated, and it appears to originate from the Blood Refining Sect.

It could make it seem like a homicide.

Hence, the Law Enforcement Hall investigated further.

And then they concluded that the person seemed to be feigning death to frame Junior Brother, but unfortunately, he really died.

The Blood Refining Sect didn’t give him the right elixir pills.

It’s a pity he ran away, if not for the recent major changes in the Sect, we would have captured him back no matter what.

But..."

Mei Jianghe looked at Gu An and said: "If it were the old days, Junior Brother’s troubles would not have been small this time.

No matter what, you would have had to take some responsibility.

It’s only because we’ve become a Demon Sect that the higher-ups have started to value law enforcement, offering various kinds of assistance.

It also shows that real beasts probably can’t get away with their crimes anymore."

Gu An was silent.

During the time of the normal Sect, whether someone ended up in trouble for killing was a matter of luck.

If you were lucky, the Law Enforcement Hall wouldn’t bother.

If you were unlucky, they’d follow through to the end.

And you would definitely pay a price.

Now that it’s a Demon Sect, everyone seems to be treated equally.

Everyone has to pay the price for killing.

What kind of logic is that?

As they talked, they left the Law Enforcement Hall.

Mei Jianghe looked at Gu An and smiled: "Junior Brother is truly remarkable, in such a short period you’ve already been through so much.

But thankfully all was well in the end.

It’s just that Junior Brother has been wrongly accused."

Gu An shook his head and thanked the other person.

It was unexpected that so much could be unearthed in just one day.

However, the other person did not mention the final mastermind.

One reason is the lack of direct evidence, so they couldn’t trace the person.

The second reason is the Merit Hall also doesn’t dare to talk recklessly.

Ultimately, they should not get too involved; report what they find, and that’s it.

Anything more would be a favor.

Gu An didn’t want to put the other person in a difficult position, so he didn’t ask further.

After all...

If after asking, the mastermind got into trouble.

Then the problem would be big.

"By the way, you still need to continue with your mission, Junior Brother, after all, you are fine now," Mei Jianghe smiled and said: "However, we will still give Junior Brother some more time, and since someone has died, you can also look for another person. If you need, you can let me know.

Most Sect missions are dispatched from the Merit Hall and the Book Collection Pavilion.

Although the Law Enforcement Hall also has some, we have more.

However, it seems there will be reforms soon.

I don’t know how they will change," Mei Jianghe said helplessly.

Upon hearing this, Gu An shook his head: "No need for now."

One more person, one more trouble.

So he’d rather wait for later, he needs to find a way to handle things now.

According to what Chu Meng said, in about seven or eight days, the Magic Treasures of the Law Enforcement Hall will be ready.

The investigation by the Sect would reach an unprecedented level.

At that time, if someone were to commit a murder, it would be difficult not to be investigated.

It was unclear whether Chu Meng had mentioned this intentionally or not.

Afterwards, she descended the mountain and arrived at the Inner Sect of the Heavenly Suspension Peak.

This visit was still about continuing her mission.

It was interrupted previously, but this time it should not be.

However, she needed to summon those two people.

After the message was sent, the pair were somewhat surprised to see Gu An.

Had he come out so quickly?

"Why is Junior Brother Gu already out?" asked the man with a snake on his arm, casually.

Gu An looked at him, expression calm:

"Call me Senior Brother, or if that feels uncomfortable, Team Leader will do.

After all, we are now in the same team.

And I am the team leader.

Respect your seniors and uphold the way of the True Dao, you should understand this, right?"

"Senior Brother? You? Someone who rose through sheer dumb luck." The conceited woman scoffed:

"I heard even if you got out, it required a considerable amount of Merit.

You probably don’t have the protection of the Merit Hall now, do you?

Shouldn’t you be humbly tail-tucking at this time?"

Gu An looked at the two of them, thinking that Senior Brother Shi truly knew how to pick people.

He chose two individuals who could easily make one’s Qi-Blood boil.

It must be said, Senior Brother Shi had an eye for talent.

He truly had all sorts of people under him.

Each person had their use, be they smart or foolish.

Applied in the appropriate place, all can have unexpected effects.

Like the time they sent me in.

If it weren’t for the reforms and the fact that my name was on the Merit Hall’s list,

I would certainly have been in danger.

"It seems there’s no one around." Gu An looked around and said somewhat sentimentally:

"My reputation isn’t good, originally I wanted you to help me restore some of it.

Now it seems, I can only resign myself to fate."

"What do you mean?" the proud woman’s brows furrowed.

However, Gu An had already approached her: "I never thought such sarcastic words would come from Junior Sister’s mouth, especially since Junior Sister seems to have quite a bit of pride."

The moment the words fell, Gu An sent a slap flying.

Slap!

A crisp sound, like the force of a storm.

Directly sent the person flying.

"You’re seeking death." At this moment, the man with the snake on his arm stepped forward, his Golden Core Middle Stage power bursting forth.

But Gu An was faster, reaching him in an instant.

He casually grabbed the man’s arm, including the snake, and said:

"Junior Brother, I don’t like this snake of yours."

Then he squeezed hard.

Bang!

The snake was directly crushed in Gu An’s mighty grip, and at that moment, a cracking sound came from the man’s arm.

Next came the agonizing screams.

"You dare!" the man shouted in horror.

"How much Merit do you think your arm is worth?" Gu An, still grabbing the man’s arm, spoke in a flat yet indifferent tone:

"I reckon my Merits are enough to account for this arm."

As his words finished, he exerted a bit more force.

Crack!

Bang!

The arm burst into a mist of blood.

Flesh vaporized, bones shattered.

The entire arm was ruthlessly crushed by Gu An.

Screams of agony followed.

Gu An kicked him away.

The man painfully rolled on the ground, but Gu An paid him no heed.

He then approached the proud woman, with a long sword now in his hand.

He actually wanted to use a knife, but unfortunately, there was none handy.

They were either too flashy or only half a blade remained.

At this moment, Immortal was horrified by Gu An, who had just come out and dared to lay hands on someone.

Gu An stepped on her calf.

Crack!

The bone broke instantly.

The proud Immortal let out a scream of pain.

Gu An looked at her distressed and flustered face, slowly saying, "Junior Sister, what parts of your body do you think are superfluous?"

"No, none, I beg you, Senior Brother, please spare me," she said in terror.

"I think this ear is quite superfluous since it doesn’t seem to understand my words." Gu An lifted the sword in his hand.

As the woman watched in terror, it came down.

An ear flew up.

Then came the screams.

Then, the people from the Law Enforcement Hall arrived again.

Seeing Gu An, they remained silent.

Gu An entered the Law Enforcement Hall once more.

Mei Jianghe, just about to start work, was startled upon receiving the news.

Hadn’t he just left at noon, and now, in a blink of an eye, he was back in?
