After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 329 - 253: Heaven’s Justice

"So many?" Zeng Lan expressed some concern: "Won’t it be especially dangerous?"

"No, no, just half a day will do, that boss is a good person," the elderly woman excitedly said.

"Mom, come on, I’ll take you to get a check-up, this time I can buy you some good medicine," Zeng Lan said as she took her mother outside.

"There’s no need to go, it’s very expensive," the elderly woman advised.

"It’s okay, things are different now, by the way, you look a bit pale, what’s been happening recently?" Zeng Lan asked curiously.

The elderly woman smiled and simply said it was nothing.

Soon, they arrived at Ren Dao Hall.

A middle-aged man took the elderly woman’s pulse.

In just a moment, the man’s brow furrowed and then he used Spiritual Energy to further examine.

His frown deepened.

At that moment, Zeng Lan’s heart sank.

"Elder," she started nervously.

The middle-aged man withdrew his hand and looked at the elderly woman: "What hurt you recently?"

The elderly woman hesitated and finally mentioned that the town had been quite chaotic lately.

A spirit beast had collided with her.

Zeng Lan broke out in a cold sweat.

She then looked at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man sighed: "I can’t help here, ordinary medicine won’t work, unless..."

"Unless what?" Zeng Lan asked anxiously.

"Heavenly Blood Pill," the middle-aged man said seriously to Zeng Lan: "Given the current price, about two thousand nine hundred Spirit Stones."

Two thousand nine hundred Spirit Stones.

Zeng Lan earns eight Spirit Stones a month.

Less than a hundred in a year.

Two thousand nine means saving for twenty-nine years without eating or drinking.

Hearing this, the elderly woman quickly spoke in panic: "No, it’s okay, we’ll just rest more when we get back."

Zeng Lan stood still, thinking of the three thousand Spirit Stones in the Storage Treasure.

For a moment, she felt somewhat fortunate.

"Heaven is watching over us, I can actually afford so many Spirit Stones."

...

Gu An was monitoring the talisman shop and asked the owner about his plans.

He shook his head, "Let’s just see how things go."

In truth, he wanted to leave but...

He had been saved by Gu An.

The owner hadn’t spoken, so he dared not leave.

"Do you want to learn talisman making?" he suddenly asked.

He felt that Gu An must be after something.

Perhaps it was talisman making.

However, Gu An shook his head: "No, I don’t have the talent, I won’t waste time."

Then Gu An asked where he could buy an Array.

Since he had given away three thousand, he currently only had two thousand Spirit Stones.

An Array for one thousand, along with the Night Barrier, wasn’t bad.

Even Primordial Spirits might not be able to come and go freely.

That was the Barrier that almost put him at the top of the Merit List.

Merely combining it with some Arrays could yield significant power.

Following the owner’s recommendation, Gu An bought an Array.

He didn’t stay any longer.

However, when he was leaving, he saw Zeng Lan accompanying her mother into the talisman shop, seemingly to ask for leave.

The owner gladly agreed.

Thus, Gu An returned to Outer Peak and laid out the Array.

Then the Night Barrier was activated.

Now, ordinary people couldn’t enter his yard.

Three days later.

Outside Cangmu Sect, beams of light came through, with powerful forces suppressing.

Gu An felt that there were also Qi emanations within the Sect, but his power was insufficient, he could only sense there was an issue, but couldn’t pinpoint what it was.

Lately, too much had happened.

There wasn’t a stable logging environment.

He just hoped that things would improve after this.

Gu An received a message to prepare for battle; there might be spies at Outer Peak.

He needed to be vigilant.

Then he saw some beams flying out from within the Sect, confronting those outside.

They seemed to have communicated, but the external suppression grew stronger, even shouts of anger spread throughout Cangmu Sect.

"Demon Path is Demon Path, everyone should be eradicated."

Boom!

A fierce battle erupted in an instant.

Gu An felt the terrifying aura bear down.

Following that, balls of energy began to fall, with continuous explosions.

Boom!

The area around Cangmu Sect instantly shattered.

The shaking ground was terrifying.

Then disciples from Cangmu Sect flew out to engage in battle.

The Night Barrier activated, withstanding the power vented from high above.

Gu An felt the terrifying power, trembling.

He couldn’t determine the cultivation of those people, but was certain that if they targeted or focused on him.

He would be in extreme danger.

At the same time, some people also appeared at Outer Peak.

They didn’t know when they had quietly infiltrated.

Gu An could clearly sense someone rushing toward him.

On the other side.

Two men were swiftly moving through the forest.

Both exuded a strong aura.

The strong aura outside caused a disturbance here, coupled with the actions of other Immortal Sects.

This made their location much safer.

Their target was clear—it was to capture Gu An.

Once Luo Yutong arrived, she was unable to leave.

Although it was uncertain whether it was related to this person.

But at least Luo Yutong’s belongings might be in his hands.

Even if they weren’t, he was an informant.

They could always question him for some information.

Wu Yunzhong looked deep into the forest: "He sure can run, but he can’t escape; Golden Core Middle Stage strength is not enough to evade my tracking."

"Hurry, we must make quick work of this, the longer we stay, the harder it is to leave.

The longer that Barrier is open, the harder it is for us to detach," Hu Hai stated earnestly.

They had previously conspired with Luo Yutong over the Divine Tree, but sadly in the end, they gained nothing.

Luo Yutong also disappeared.

They couldn’t just inexplicably accept defeat; they had to test the situation.

It was expected for Luo Yutong to be seriously injured and run into trouble upon her arrival.

But they were different, they were at their peak state now.

"He indeed can hide well, but now it seems he has stopped. Do you think he might know the whereabouts of the Divine Tree?" Wu Yunzhong asked.

"Who knows?" Hu Hai responded.

Soon, they discovered that Gu An really had stopped advancing and was hiding instead.

This was a great opportunity for them.

Moments later.

They halted their steps, looking at a big tree in front of them; Gu An was probably behind it.

The two exchanged glances.

Then they gathered power in their hands.

Following that, a Magic technique was unleashed.

Boom!

The Magic technique bypassed the tree and hit behind it.

But in that instant, the aura vanished.

Wu Yunzhong’s pupils contracted, and he immediately warned, "Be careful."

As his words fell, a streak of golden light flashed.

Then a fist was already beside his ear.

Boom!

The fist landed on his cheek, twisting his face as a cracking sound echoed.

Wu Yunzhong was sent flying, but he reacted swiftly, erupting with aura to keep the opponent at bay.

However, Gu An had no intention of approaching; instead, utilizing the momentum, he produced a longbow and drew it fully.

Qi Sea Heavenly Gang condensed into an arrow, then whoosh!

It shot through the air.

Boom!

The arrow pierced Wu Yunzhong, followed by a bang.

Blood burst out.

Wu Yunzhong’s body was instantly reduced by half.

He couldn’t even believe that he was defeated in just two exchanges and died on the spot.

"Did you hide your cultivation?" Hu Hai was shocked.

To kill with just two moves, how much cultivation must have been concealed.

But he couldn’t hesitate; a giant axe appeared in his hands, then gathering his aura, his blood began to burn, "Die!"

Watching the giant axe descend, Gu An’s longbow disappeared, replaced by a rusty longsword.

Pingqiu First Style, Wind Rises.

A fierce wind blew.

Clang!

Boom!

Power erupted.

The sword clashed with the giant axe.

Then with a snap,

The axe shattered.

Gu An stepped forward, slashing down with his sword.

His body moved like a streak of light, piercing through Hu Hai.

At that moment, Hu Hai, holding the handle of his giant axe, stood frozen.

Gu An sheathed his sword and looked back, saying:

"We could have each lived peacefully, why must you force me?"

Though he had been poor recently, he had never thought to rely on others’ charity.

Who would have thought these two would insist on delivering Spirit Stones to him?

Now, Hu Hai turned his head to look at Gu An, struggling to speak, "Did you kill Luo Yutong?"

Gu An shook his head: "I don’t know what you’re talking about."

Hearing this, a bitterness emerged in Hu Hai’s heart, they targeted the wrong person.

And staked their lives on it.

He had never doubted, that the opponent would lie.

After all, he was about to die.

Speaking the truth didn’t cost anything.

And then he collapsed to the ground with a thud, unable to rise again.

His consciousness dissipated.
