Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses-Chapter 727 - 719: The Anxious Blood Prison Great Saint

Chapter 727 -719: The Anxious Blood Prison Great Saint

After staying at the Gathering Flower Sect for two days, Gu An finally returned to the Daoist Field of the Beginningless with Zui, walking in the woods at the edge of the dojo. Zui hopped and skipped beside Gu An.

“Master, when are we going back to the Gathering Flower Sect?” Zui asked cheerfully.

Compared to a century ago, Zui had become more lively. He was already at the Nirvana Realm in cultivation and had officially embarked on the path of Immortal Cultivation. Fairy Yaoxuan had left him some power, which Gu An had sealed to prevent karma retribution from the Great Dao.

“Why? Have you found a girl you like?”

Gu An asked with a smile. Even without Jiang Qiong’s arrangements, Zui had quickly made friends with several female disciples of the Gathering Flower Sect in just two days. Mainly because he was handsome and young, he attracted the attention of female cultivators wherever he went. He wasn’t shy and could chat with anyone.

Zui tilted his head and replied, “Those little sisters are indeed very cute, and I enjoy interacting with them. But compared to them, I think there are many places and people in the Gathering Flower Sect worth exploring.”

He wasn’t immature; he was just accustomed to his physical form, so he maintained this appearance. His mind was constantly growing, and he understood the feelings between men and women, but he had no interest in such relationships.

Gu An could hear his thoughts; this kid just wanted to have fun.

“Then you need to cultivate diligently. If you perform well, I’ll take you there again in the future.” Gu An replied with a smile.

“Master, you’re the best!”

Zui immediately became happy and hugged Gu An’s arm, excitedly talking about what he had seen and heard in the past two days.

After walking for a while, Zui suddenly noticed someone.

It was a young woman who was injured and leaning against a large tree, cultivating energy to heal herself.

Hearing the conversation and laughter between Gu An and Zui, she opened her eyes and looked wary.

Gu An pretended not to see her and continued forward. As they got closer, the young woman grew increasingly nervous.

Zui also stopped talking and curiously looked at the young woman.

It was only when Gu An passed by her that she secretly relaxed.

Seeing that Gu An didn’t say anything, Zui didn’t ask further questions.

After the two of them disappeared at the end of the woods, the young woman finally completely let go of her stress.

“Wait, this is a forbidden area. Are they… people from the Beginningless?”

The young woman thought to herself. A sudden impulse to chase after them arose. She was being pursued and had fled here. If she could get help from the Beginningless, she might escape from this ordeal.

As soon as this thought was born, a surge of unexplained fear rose in her heart, making her quickly give up the idea.

On the other side, Gu An and Zui stepped into the dojo’s range.

Although Zui’s cultivation level wasn’t high, he could feel the sudden surge of spiritual energy, and he knew he was home.

“Master, that person just now seemed injured. Is there a problem with the Qiankun Sect?” Zui couldn’t help but ask.

He had been to the Qiankun Sect before but hadn’t sensed the internal conflicts of the sect.

Gu An looked ahead with a long gaze and said slowly, “The Qiankun Sect is going to disband. Our dojo will become larger in the future. Are you happy?”

“What’s there to be happy about with it becoming larger? Master, there are so many people on this continent. Are you going to drive them away?” Zui pursued.

“What do you hope I should do?”

“I hope you will let them stay. This way, the Beginningless will become more lively. Of course, this is just my idea. If you fear disturbance in cultivation, then drive them away.” Zui replied. In his heart, his master was already the most important person. He listened to his master’s words and would never forget the long, tedious years in the Desperate Celestial Tomb.

“Since that’s the case, let’s do as you wish and let them stay on the continent.”

Gu An patted Zui’s head and smiled with satisfaction.

He cared more about Zui’s character than his cultivation level.

Without a heart of compassion, one would eventually walk down an extreme path.

Hearing this, Zui became even happier, but Gu An continued, “Letting them stay is fine, but you must not bully them in the future. Regardless of their cultivation level, you must always respect others. Understand?”

“Don’t worry, Master, I will remember it.” Zui said.

The two of them chatted as they walked toward the forest ahead. The mountain forest of the Daoist Field of the Beginningless seemed vast and boundless, but in the Nine Spirit Continent, it was just a small piece.

The affairs of the world are much the same. The Qiankun Sect is experiencing a great calamity. Many people feel that the sky has fallen, but their sky seems insignificant in the grand scheme of the world.

…

On a meteor along the Path of the Great Dao.

The Blood Prison Great Saint, Fang Xuan, and five other cultivators sat together, the atmosphere heavy.

A male cultivator looked at the Blood Prison Great Saint and couldn’t help but ask, “Second Brother, do you have to go back? Haven’t our seven brothers lived a joyful and carefree life?”

The others followed in urging him. The reason was that the Blood Prison Great Saint was preparing to leave the Path of the Great Dao and return to his sect, which they couldn’t understand.

Is being someone’s steed really that good?

Now, the seven of them roamed the Path of the Great Dao. Even if they encountered a Daoist Emperor, the seven of them together had the power to escape. They had already made a name for themselves, and their future was bright.

Fang Xuan understood Gu An’s strength. He knew that the Blood Prison Great Saint’s choice was correct, though he was still reluctant. He could only refrain from persuading or agreeing.

The Blood Prison Great Saint glared and said, “Shut up! My master is the most powerful existence. You cannot offend him. Moreover, my return is the best choice and leaves you a lifeline!”

“A lifeline? Why?” another cultivator asked.

The Blood Prison Great Saint snorted, “The Great Dao is boundless. You will eventually encounter enormous trouble. When that time comes, ask me, and I can ask my master to help.” fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

These words left everyone exchanging glances, unsure of how to respond.

“Actually, you can stay.” A voice suddenly sounded. The Blood Prison Great Saint was about to retort when he widened his eyes and stood up abruptly, turning around to see Gu An and Zui approaching them.

“Master!”

The Blood Prison Great Saint was immediately thrilled and knelt to the ground.

The others stood up, curiously and nervously studying Gu An and Zui. Fang Xuan’s forehead broke out in cold sweat, his entire body stiffening as he recalled the nightmare of following the Battle Court to attack the Celestial Spirit Great World.

Zui followed behind Gu An, curiously looking at the seven of them.

Gu An walked straight up to the Blood Prison Great Saint, looked down at him, and said with a smile, “You can think it over carefully. If you want to stay outside, I won’t force you to come back. Our bond remains.”

Although the Blood Prison Great Saint was said to be his steed, he was actually no different from a disciple, as Gu An didn’t need a steed in his daily life.

Having spent so much time together, Gu An had grown very fond of the Blood Prison Great Saint and saw him as one of his own.

“Impossible! I said I would be your steed for life. Unless you chase me away, I cannot leave you!” the Blood Prison Great Saint said anxiously, his heart in chaos.

Has my master found a new steed during my absence?

Is it Celestial Cyan, Tian Bai, or another demoness?

Damn it!

Gu An heard his thoughts and felt helpless.

Why are they always demonesses?

Curse him, for thinking such things!

Gu An said exasperatedly, “Alright, then stand up. You can come back with me later.”

The Blood Prison Great Saint beamed with joy and stood up immediately.

Seeing him grinning foolishly in front of Gu An, Fang Xuan and the other five found it absurd. They had never seen the Blood Prison Great Saint so obsequious.

Fang Xuan was somewhat prepared, knowing Gu An’s identity, but the other five were filled with curiosity, wanting to know about Gu An’s origins.

“Master, why are you here? Did you specifically come to pick me up? With your divine skills, a wave of your hand could transport me back,” the Blood Prison Great Saint asked curiously. His words made his five sworn brothers secretly alarmed.

Gu An replied, “Indeed, I came to pick you up and to help you all with a problem.”

A problem?

The Blood Prison Great Saint and the others were puzzled.

Fang Xuan cautiously asked, “Sword… Senior, what problem do we have?”

Gu An looked at him, causing Fang Xuan to lower his gaze in fear, feeling very uncomfortable. This surprised the other five.

Why is Big Brother so afraid of Second Brother’s master?

Gu An answered, “You have been too bold in your actions and have offended a Daoist Emperor. Behind him is the Ascending to Yellow Heaven Sect. This void has already been sealed. You have nowhere to escape.”
