After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 474 - 322: Chu Meng: Already Killing People Right After Arriving?

Watching the person beside him, Gu An remembered his days in Cangmu Sect.

Whether it was the Outer Sect or the Inner Sect.

Those who approached him usually had an excuse.

For instance, when snatching Spirit Stones, they would say that they were short on money, their younger sister from the family suffered a serious injury and needed Spirit Stones for treatment, and that they were just slightly short.

Hoping he would extend a helping hand.

Or, for example, if someone broke something in an inn, they wouldn’t ask for compensation from someone stronger in cultivation, but they would demand double the compensation from those with weaker cultivation.

Targeting people, there was always an excuse.

Mostly for the sake of profit.

But the person in front of him was a bit...

Frank, crude.

Having a feeling of being the greatest under the heavens.

Making one wonder if he had premeditated.

But...

Having just arrived, one could tell at a glance that he was not someone of lofty cultivation.

From his attire, he also was not someone of wealth.

Thus, where would the premeditation come from?

So, it must be that he was overthinking.

In an instant, a myriad of thoughts went through his mind.

Gu An looked around at the people, some lowered their heads, some reveled in schadenfreude.

It seemed, therefore, that this person was likely often overbearing and arrogant.

He must have a significant background.

Out in the world, he did not want to cause trouble so overtly.

Especially since this was a quasi-first-class Sect, filled with formidable cultivators.

Sighing, he looked at the man and said evenly, "Shouldn’t one spare people where one can? How about I make way for you?"

"Just begging for mercy like that? I don’t think that’s quite right, you should be as arrogant as I am, like shouting that you want to kill me, and then I slap you out of nowhere, leaving you scrambling on the ground looking for your teeth.

I’d feel happy, feeling comfortable inside.

Then I’ll step on your belly, crippling your Golden Core.

That way, I won’t let anyone check into your family anymore.

And you’ll have to thank me, but..."

At this moment, the man sneered at Gu An: "Your eyes are too calm for my liking, come on, let this Golden Core fellow daoist experience what it’s like to be angrily silent in fear and despair."

Gu An thought the person was truly nonsensical.

By now, the two people behind him had already come up to Gu An.

One, holding a teacup, directly splashed the tea over.

The other, swung his hand for a slap.

Although both were insulted, it felt different from Cangmu Sect.

But he had no choice but to follow the local customs.

Whoosh!

The splashed tea was directly blocked by an invisible force.

And that swinging hand, under a subtle flash of sword light, was sent flying into the air.

The man who swung his hand was stunned, a bit shocked.

Then, blood spurted from his arm.

Followed by a piercing pain.

His miserable cry echoed out.

But before the two of them could react, another subtle force struck them.

Bang!

The two were sent flying back.

Their internal organs shifted; they slammed heavily onto the ground, unconscious.

At this moment, the original aggressor was startled, a bit frightened, shocked.

He looked at Gu An: "Do you know who I am..."

Bang!

Suddenly Ye Xiu stepped forward, grabbed his head, and pushed it violently downward.

In an instant, his head was buried in the ground.

Blood flowed profusely.

The pain frightened the man, and the terrifying power made him unable to resist.

"I, my brother is a Direct Disciple, you can’t..."

Puff!

Ye Xiu’s long sword swept over the man’s arm.

One arm was severed.

"Spare me, elder, spare my life," cried the man in terror, his wail laced with pleadings for mercy.

Ye Xiu did not move but instead looked at Gu An.

Gu An glanced at the reactions of others; they were shocked, some pleased.

It seemed they had long wanted to take action, but did not dare.

But their eyes held a touch of pity.

Thus, it appeared that someone influential backed the person behind the scenes.

"Will you seek revenge on me?" Gu An asked calmly.

"I dare not, junior does not dare, in the future, upon seeing the elder, I will surely take a detour," the man pleaded.

But his heart was filled with resentment.

The fact that the other party did not kill him immediately meant that they were not reckless.

As long as he bowed his head and pleaded, compromising, it was likely that the other party would not take his life.

When the time comes, he would let this ignorant person understand how miserable the consequences of offending him would be.

Gu An looked at the man, somewhat puzzled.

Is he not restraining the venom in his gaze at all?

He might seem older in age, but surely he is not so old as to be blind?

So vicious under his very eyes?

However, causing trouble publically was indeed troublesome.

"Stop," suddenly someone spoke.

Gu An turned his head to look and found an elegant man walking out from the crowd.

The surrounding people looked at him with surprise.

"How come Brother Zhan Tai is here."

"Is Senior Brother Xiang nearby too? These two are probably going to suffer."

Ye Xiu looked at the newcomer, Mid-stage Returning to Void.

Not a flicker of emotion in his calm eyes.

Gu An felt quite sentimental; a Mid-stage Returning to Void has appeared.

Such a strong person, also so common to encounter?

In the Cangmu Sect, they were hardly visible.

"Neither of you are disciples of our sect, right?" Zhan Tai Xiu looked at Gu An with a smile: "I am a Direct Disciple of the Tianhe Lineage of the Jiuxiao Pavilion, Zhan Tai Xiu.

The person on the ground is a family member of one of my Junior Brothers, indeed a bit unruly, but he is still young.

He has offended you both.

Now he has also received a lesson, and you two have not suffered substantively.

How about we let this matter slide?

Do give me this face.

How about it?"

"Yes, let me go, my brother is very strong, there’s no need for you to oppose him," the man spoke again, excitement in his eyes.

He felt that he had survived this time.

Listening to the two, Gu An frowned lightly.

He hadn’t spoken yet when suddenly, a crackling sound was heard.
