Gu An was still reading.
A commotion arose outside.
The person in charge of Tianfeng Palace, Senior Brother Hua, was dead.
The second in charge, Senior Sister Min, was missing.
People from Tianyang Sect had also died, as well as other experts from other sects.
Such a matter was too big.
Many people came to the Cangmu Sect, since they didn't know who did it.
Then it must have been done by a heinous, merciless Demonic Dao sect.
Gu An didn't want to see these people and hoped they could go back on their own.
Then wait for new developments.
Unfortunately, these people were not easy to deal with.
If he didn't come forward, they would really start fighting.
Helpless, Gu An had no choice but to walk out.
This time, as soon as Gu An came out, he felt a terrible sense of oppression.
A Void Return expert.
It seemed that the matter was too big, and even Void Return experts wouldn't hide it.
They had to come over to solve the problem.
But this time, it wasn't him who was anxious, it seemed to be them.
Gu An focused his gaze on the middle-aged man in the lead.
The other party's divine light was evident, and his power was like a thick mountain, capable of destroying everything around him at any time.
Zhang San came behind Gu An and said, "Dean, be careful, this is Zheng Feng from Tianyang Sect, who practices the Five Mountains Art, using thick power to suppress everything among his peers.
I can't suppress him, at most I can only hold him back so he can't attack.
As for the remaining people, Chen Changfeng can't stop them."
"Dean, don't worry, even if I die, I will buy you time to escape," Chen Changfeng said seriously.
Gu An didn't care about what the other party said; he could also say such nice things.
It was just talk.
Of course, when others said it to him, he would just listen.
What kind of kindness could make someone risk their life for him?
Basically, none.
He had never thought of risking his life for anyone.
Nor had he ever thought that others would risk their lives for him.
Sometimes, think more about yourself, and then think about what you want to ask of others.
See if that request is too harsh.
That way, you won't have expectations, and you won't be disappointed.
"Senior," Gu An came to the other party and respectfully bowed.
Zheng Feng looked at Gu An and said, "Cangmu Sect has good methods."
"I don't understand what Senior means," Gu An said, standing up.
"Is there any need for me to say it clearly?" Zheng Feng smiled.
"Senior, you might as well speak plainly. If the Cangmu Sect has done anything, I can currently make the decisions. If it's a fabricated charge, then this junior really can't accept it," Gu An said.
"What a fabricated charge," Zheng Feng looked at Gu An and said, "Did you capture the people of the Imperial family, as well as people from our sects?"
Gu An looked at the other party and nodded, "Yes."
"Then what else is there to say?" Zheng Feng shouted angrily, "Cangmu Sect is really going too far. We originally asked you to coordinate the situation and resolve the suspension of work here.
Now you kill disciples of our Immortal sects, imprison Immortal maidens of our Immortal sects, and members of the Imperial family.
Today, we will seek justice for those dead junior brothers and sisters, for those fellow disciples who have been bullied by you, and for the dignity of the Imperial family; we want an explanation.
Everyone, today suppress everyone in the Cangmu Sect, and kill anyone who resists on the spot."
Hearing this, everyone in the Immortal sects circulated their power and were about to attack.
At this time, Zheng Feng looked at Gu An, his voice carrying a terrifying power: "Gu An, kneel down, and you can avoid physical suffering."
Feeling such terrifying power.
The faces of the other people in the Cangmu Sect turned pale, hating Gu An to the extreme for causing so much trouble as soon as he arrived.
They hoped that the sect would send some experts as soon as possible, preferably to cripple Gu An in front of them.
For causing them to encounter such a calamity today.
Faced with Zheng Feng's angry shout and pressure, he only took a step back and said:
"Zhang San, try to kill him.
Since they want to make a big deal out of it, then make a big deal out of it.
I have merits, even if this matter ends in a complete breakdown, nothing will happen.
You kill him and then kill everyone else, then you can leave.
Chen Changfeng, take me away.
Zhang San, as long as this senior makes a move, you can fight as much as you want.
If you really can't beat him, hold him back, then destroy the academy, and you can leave.
I want to see if they can bear this responsibility."
As soon as the words fell, a powerful force erupted from Zhang San's body, and the power of the early stage of Void Return surged out.
Ready to unleash a killing move at any time.
Chen Changfeng had already grabbed Gu An's arm, and as soon as a fight broke out, he would use the Nirvana Scripture to take Gu An away; he didn't care about Zhang San's life or death.
In an instant, Zheng Feng and the others were stunned.
They had never thought that the person in front of them would be so tough.
He didn't seem to worry about the mission failing at all.
Merits...
The other party's merits seemed to be really high.
He didn't have to worry about sect punishment at all.
Then the academy would be destroyed, and this business deal would be completely torn apart.
Gu An had merits to resist.
What about them?
If they didn't complete the mission well, and even caused everything to be destroyed because of their actions.
Would their reasons stand?
If the sect investigated seriously, then...
They would bear the sect's anger.
No one present could withstand such anger.
Even if they had some background, they would lose a layer of skin even if they didn't die.
So, should they fight?
Naturally, they couldn't fight.
For a time, the two sides were on the verge of conflict.
They were ready to fight at any time, but no one dared to make the first move.
Everyone was very restrained.
Gu An didn't really want to fight either, he just wanted these people to know that his cards were thicker than theirs.
If they overturned the table, they would be the ones to suffer.
When he returned from this mission, he could say that he had offended many people, and it would be difficult for him to go anywhere in the future.
But for the sake of the mission, he had to confront them.
His cultivation was still not enough.
If his cultivation was enough, how could they bully him?
When he came, they should have come over to express their attitude and deal with the matter here together.
The two sides were deadlocked for a long time, and finally Gu An took the initiative to speak: "How about I give you seniors an explanation?"
Hearing this, the other party then withdrew his aura and said in a cold voice:
"I hope Steward Gu can give a satisfactory answer."
Gu An nodded and said: "What Senior said just now about us capturing people, that's not quite right. In order to investigate the movements of the divine object, I naturally need some people to cooperate.
So I invited some people over late at night.
A total of three people were invited.
Apart from that, we didn't do anything else.
Senior Hua and the others were not killed by us."
"We didn't say who was killed, how do you know who died?" A woman asked.
Gu An looked at Zhang San beside him and said, "You can find out late at night, can't he find out late at night? Does our Cangmu Sect seem to have such closed-off information?"
"He is a Void Return cultivator, so naturally he can kill the three of them," the woman said.
Hearing this, Gu An shook his head and said, "Zhang San didn't kill them."
"He didn't kill them? What evidence do you have to prove he didn't kill them?" The fairy questioned again.
Gu An turned to look at Zhang San: "What evidence do you have to prove you didn't kill them?"
"No," Zhang San shrugged.
Gu An turned back to look at the other party and shook his head: "No evidence."
"Then are you still saying you didn't kill them?" The fairy said coldly,
Gu An sighed and looked at the group of people opposite him: "Then shall we fight? Will you attack first, or will we attack first?"
Saying that, Gu An took two steps back and said, "Zhang San, since you have no evidence to prove it, then let's fight."
Zhang San didn't waste any time with idle words. The aura around him erupted, locking onto everyone present, ready to initiate a full-scale battle.
Once this fight began, there would be no room for reconciliation.
Each of them would have to bear the sect's fury.
Instantly, everyone's throats tightened. Some glared resentfully at the woman who had spoken, blaming her for saying too much.
How could they possibly salvage this situation?
"Wait a moment," Zheng Feng suddenly interjected, "Since Zhang San didn't kill the person, it's not entirely unacceptable to us, but there needs to be an explanation, right?"
"Everyone knows that your sect suffered a loss, and you'll inevitably come looking for us. So, who benefits most from you targeting us?" Gu An said, looking at Zheng Feng, "Naturally, the person who stole the item behind the scenes.
Once a fight breaks out, no one will investigate them, and whatever happens here will be of no concern to them.
Isn't that right?"
Hearing this, Zheng Feng and the others frowned, realizing it was a possibility.
"We can accept this reason, but why did you arrest people?" Zheng Feng questioned.
Seemingly, this gave him enough confidence.
Without a word, Gu An handed the letter to the other party.
After reading the letter, Zheng Feng was stunned, finding it hard to believe.
The others were curious.
Zheng Feng then passed the letter to the others for review.
When the fairy who had spoken saw it, she angrily shouted, "Impossible! This is definitely a fake!"
With that, she tore up the letter and burned it.
Gu An didn't seem to mind, and instead said, "Could it be that this fairy is also an accomplice? Zhang San, restrain her.
Search her storage treasures.
If she refuses and resists, it proves she has a guilty conscience.
If she's a righteous disciple of an immortal sect, she shouldn't resist."
"You…" The fairy glared at Gu An in fury.
Seemingly wanting to kill him.
In the end, Zhang San didn't succeed.
Zheng Feng intervened.
Thus, Gu An didn't plan to fight to the death with them.
Although he had achieved great merit, using it in this situation felt like a waste.
After Zheng Feng retrieved the royal guards, they left.
They said they would investigate who was responsible and report it to the sect. If the investigation pointed to the Azurewood Sect, they hoped the Azurewood Sect would offer an explanation.
Otherwise, having a Void Refinement bodyguard would be useless.
After they left, Gu An glanced at the Azurewood Sect's remaining personnel, who took a step back in apprehension.
Then, Gu An turned and left.
Back at their residence, Zhang San said, "Dean, just now, a Void Refinement cultivator seemed to be spying on us. It shouldn't be one of their people."
"So, that's the person we've been waiting for?" Gu An asked, slightly concerned.
Zhang San nodded, "It should be. The opponent is in the early stage of Void Refinement, and there are likely other powerful individuals behind them."
Gu An was puzzled. Why didn't these people leave after taking the item?
Could it be that they wanted something else?
"Were you detected by the other party?" Gu An asked.
"No, I had set up formations around the area, which allowed me to detect them. The other party used concealment techniques, so they didn't seem to realize they were discovered," Zhang San said.
Gu An didn't pay much attention to it. He couldn't investigate the surroundings in front of so many people.
Although he was stronger in that aspect.
But Zhang San and Zheng Feng were both in the early stage of Void Refinement.
They were of the same rank as him.
There was a chance they could detect him.
His cultivation was still too weak.
Otherwise, he would have been able to directly spy on the person and learn about their background.
Now, he was completely in the dark, which was a bit troublesome.
Afterward, Gu An instructed them to investigate the surroundings.
They would wait a few days before making any further decisions.
Mainly, he needed to wait for the Ring of Destiny.
The letter was genuine, and he hadn't kept a copy.
This was to ensure that everyone knew he had obtained the letter and knew its contents.
In this way, anyone with a plan would definitely be aware of him and target him.
After all, the two individuals were still in his hands.
No one could be sure what those two had revealed.
The other party would definitely be worried.
Therefore, they would either attack him or attack those two.
Most likely, they would attack both at the same time.
In that case, the Ring of Destiny would provide feedback, allowing him to know who was pulling the strings here.
On the other side.
Leng Qingtao returned to the back and respectfully said to the old woman, "Senior, I have learned the situation.
People from the Azurewood Sect have arrived, and the two people who were supposed to meet us have been captured.
In addition, our letter has also been discovered.
Now, our subsequent plans may fall through."
"Oh?" The old woman opened her eyes and looked at the person before her, "Who from the Azurewood Sect came?"
Leng Qingtao lowered her eyes and carefully said, "Gu An, with a Golden Core middle-stage cultivation, accompanied by Void Refinement early-stage and Nascent Soul early-stage cultivators from other sects.
Furthermore, this Gu An is the one who placed the seal on me.
He shouldn't be that simple.
He must have some life-saving treasures.
Killing him won't be easy.
Besides, Fan He of the Sky Sun Sect, Hua Yu of the Sky Wind Palace, and Ruo Xin of the Spirit Flower Valley were killed last night.
All three were at the Nascent Soul Completion stage, and Senior Sister Ruo was almost at Void Refinement.
Even for a Void Refinement early-stage cultivator, killing them would require a lot of commotion.
But they died too quickly, with almost no fighting.
The people from the Azurewood Sect couldn't have done it.
Perhaps other forces were involved."
The old woman was silent for a long time before saying, "Then we need to act quickly? Things should be about the same below the underground palace.
We'll act tonight.
The sooner the better.
We can't give them any more time.
Also, send a letter to the Azurewood Sect, saying that we'll be waiting for them in the underground palace, and the treasure is below. Tell them to bring the people down.
For a trade.
Originally, I wanted to have that girl Min lure the people from the Demonic Sect and the Immortal Sect down here.
To take care of them all at once.
Now that there's a Void Refinement cultivator, it's about the same.
Just a Void Refinement early-stage cultivator. Even though my strength has just recovered to the Void Refinement middle-stage, killing him will be as easy as slaughtering a dog."
Leng Qingtao hesitated and said, "Should we wait a few more days, until Senior recovers to the Void Refinement late-stage before acting? That would be safer."
Hearing this, the old woman sneered, "Do you think I've only advanced to the Void Refinement middle-stage? A Void Refinement early-stage cultivator is no match for me at all.
When we go down there, I'll kill the Void Refinement early-stage cultivator, and you kill the rest.
Adding that girl Min will be about the same.
If the Azurewood Sect brings other people, we won't need her.
If they don't bring anyone, we'll use them to replenish ourselves."
Leng Qingtao nodded and said, "Yes."
Then, she quickly left.
After the person left, Old Ji calculated for a moment and sighed, "The plan has been disrupted. These people are still not enough, but if we add another Void Refinement early-stage cultivator, it will be completely enough."
Thinking of this, the old woman's mouth revealed a ferocious smile.
She wanted everything in the underground palace.
With that, she closed her eyes and continued to recover her cultivation.
Tonight, she couldn't let that Void Refinement cultivator escape, or the trouble would be great.
She should bring one more person, which would be safer.
