After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 477 - 323: So Many People Died in One Night? (Part 2)

Thus, the daytime matter would likely be overlooked.

By the time they took notice, I might have already gone back.

And then there would be nothing more to it.

Moreover, the man who was killed relied on his elder brother, and now that his brother is dead, even fewer people would care.

With that, Gu An returned to his residence.

Fortunately, those two had not arrived yet.

But he didn’t dare to check the Storage Treasure, instead choosing to read books while waiting for people to arrive.

After some thought, he decided to go look for Chu Meng.

To act out the full play.

Arriving, Gu An found the maid named Dongxue standing at the door.

She was holding a sword, giving Gu An a cold look, then blocked the way with a freezing Qi.

"Immortal, I would like to see Senior Sister Meng," Gu An respectfully greeted.

The cultivation of the person before him was somewhat high, higher than Ye Xiu’s.

To think that Chu Meng had such a powerful maid by her side.

What kind of status could command so many strong maids.

That Chunyu, despite looking frail and weak,

had an unimaginably high cultivation.

Recalling the Royal Princess from the First Institute, who was always accompanied by a Primordial Spirit.

Incomparable to Chu Meng.

Dongxue looked at Gu An, then sent a message inside.

After a moment, she withdrew her Qi.

She also pushed the door open.

Thus, Gu An finally entered.

Upon entering, he saw Chu Meng sitting at the table, snacking on peanuts.

At that moment, her hair was damp with wetness, and there was also a warm vapor on her body.

She must have just taken a bath.

"Did you know I was taking a bath and specifically come over to catch a glimpse of my post-bath appearance?" Chu Meng asked, looking at Gu An.

Gu An: "..."

If I knew you were bathing, I wouldn’t have come.

After he sat down, Chu Meng reprimanded, "Did you kill someone again?"

Hearing this, Gu An’s heart tightened.

Had he been discovered already?

He had just come back, and Chu Meng was already informed?

Wasn’t that too fast?

"With that guilty look on your face, it seems to be true. Coming here and killing someone right away in the inn, you are indeed unafraid of trouble.

You don’t think that having me as your superior will surely keep you safe and sound, do you?" Chu Meng looked at Gu An with a helpless expression: "Even though that’s the case, it’s still very troublesome with you not following the rules."

Hearing this, Gu An let out a sigh of relief.

She was talking about the afternoon incident.

"What does your relieved expression mean? Don’t tell me you went behind my back to kill someone else?" Chu Meng immediately said.

Gu An shook his head: "Of course not. My main reason for coming was to talk about what happened this afternoon. It was an accident."

As he spoke, he roughly recounted the situation.

He was ridiculed, insulted, and the other party wouldn’t let it go.

Finally, they forced him into a position where he had to kill.

As Chu Meng threw peanuts into her mouth, she remarked, "Why do you always encounter such people wherever you go? I’ve never met any."

Gu An looked at the other party, wanting to say your noble identity deters others from offending you.

This was the helplessness that came from the lower levels.

All seemed easy to bully.

Those who saw someone plainly dressed would think them easy targets.

The saying went, "Respect the clothes before the person." This wasn’t unreasonable.

If he had been wearing an extraordinary Daoist robe, indicative of his status,

The attitude of that person would have been different.

At the very least, they wouldn’t dare to provoke so openly.

But that would also make people desperate, after all, arson and murder may bring golden belts.

In the Cultivation World, this was even truer, succeed and escape, and one might become a powerhouse.

Afterward, Gu An inquired about how to handle the situation.

Chu Meng pondered for a moment before saying, "I will take care of it tomorrow. You control yourself and don’t meet these people again."

Gu An: "..."

Although he felt somewhat helpless, the negotiation result was favorable.

Of course, due to causing trouble at this critical moment, his second stage reward would also be withheld.

The third stage task would be informed to him after this matter was resolved.

After that, Gu An went back.

He waited until the sky was slightly bright before those two people finally returned.

This was somewhat unbelievable to Gu An.

They said the investigation was quite troublesome, but now they had sufficient information on the other party.

Gu An took a brief look, and indeed it was the person he had killed last night.

Additionally, it was clarified that the person had wronged many in the Outer Sect.

Gu An was satisfied with the information he collected and mentioned he would make contact with the other party today.

He didn’t state his purpose, and Ye Xiu and the others didn’t ask.

However, after daybreak, messages began to emerge from Jiuxiao Pavilion.

By noon, the news was everywhere.

Jiuxiao Pavilion was shaken.

Direct Disciples killed, key Inner Sect Disciples killed.

Over twenty people died in one night.

Three Direct Disciples, twelve from the Inner Sect, and several from the Outer Sect perished.

Jiuxiao Pavilion had never experienced such an affair before.

Various investigators began to appear, ceaselessly conducting searches.

Gu An was stunned upon hearing the news.

So many people died?

He had killed a total of five, and counting those two accidental deaths, that made seven.

How come it was now over twenty?

Gu An turned to Ye Xiu and Zhao Qingshan: "Did you kill them?"

This time, he really felt it.

It wasn’t a case of the thief crying "stop the thief."

It would be normal for these two to conduct their investigation slightly later.

But Ye Xiu should have returned first.

However, coming back late together was abnormal.

Ye Xiu remained silent, not speaking.

Zhao Qingshan smiled and said: "The First Institute Head is overthinking it, we are not so impulsive."

Gu An looked at them with a doubtful expression.

Not believing them at all.

After a pause, he asked: "Are there any suspects?"

Zhao Qingshan calmly replied: "I heard that Jiuxiao Pavilion has a Magic Treasure that can display the appearance of the murderer, maybe there will be news soon."

That very afternoon.

New information came out; Jiuxiao Pavilion had indeed utilized that Magic Treasure.

In the end, they saw the appearance of the person who committed the murders, extraordinarily handsome.

But no one recognized him.

After asking around, they finally learned of the person’s identity.

Zuo Youyan.

But only one person bore traces of him, the rest had no traces at all.

When Gu An received the news, he was silent.

It seemed that the thing from Jiuxiao Pavilion was not very powerful.

This figure was left behind on purpose at Wei Huixian’s place after he learned about the situation.

Ye Xiu and Zhao Qingshan looked at each other, both very surprised.

On the other side, after Chu Meng received the news, she was completely numb.

So many people died?

And they were killed by Zuo Youyan?

Who is Zuo Youyan?

Naturally, it was Gu An’s task.

So, who was the murderer? Need you ask?

Without a doubt, it was Gu An.

"Did he kill that many people in one night?"

"From the first half of the night to the later half, and he even took the time to come over and chat with me for a bit?"

"How considerate. Moreover, he is so eager to progress, insisting on completing the task upon arrival."

"But...this has caused too much of a commotion."

Chu Meng felt as though she was back at Cangmu Sect.

At her age, why be so hot-blooded?

While Chu Meng was still ruminating, people from Jiuxiao Pavilion came.

The Cangmu Sect had arrived the day before, and something happened that very night, so they naturally fell under great suspicion.

The people from Jiuxiao Pavilion wanted to detain Chu Meng first.

Even Feng He and others had no way to intervene. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

But as they were about to make their move, Dongxue took action.

Then the people from Jiuxiao Pavilion left, looking for Gu An.

Ye Xiu also took action.

The people from Jiuxiao Pavilion left again.

Cheng Yifei followed the whole time, explaining, but after seeing the people from Jiuxiao Pavilion retreat twice, he fell silent.

Not only him, but the visitors from Jiuxiao Pavilion were also silent.

Wasn’t it said that Cangmu Sect is a Second-rank Sect?

What is up with these people?

Then they turned to Cheng Yifei, inquiring if the remaining two were also like this.

Cheng Yifei shook his head.

In the end, they could only trouble the two Primordial Spirits.

Finally, they caught some people.

Gu An watched as they were taken away, feeling contemplative.

It seemed the logging job now belonged to him alone.

"Fellow daoist, do not worry, it’s just a routine inquiry, and if there is no issue, they can be released in a few days," Cheng Yifei explained.

Gu An nodded: "It should be so, after all, something major has happened."

Cheng Yifei was moved that the other party could understand.

This time, the incident at Jiuxiao Pavilion was too big.

Too many people died.

The Sect was furious, but they just couldn’t catch anyone, and actually, many did not even wish to investigate.

Jiuxiao Pavilion was simply not united at heart.

The deaths of some were actually seen as great opportunities for others.

The Law Enforcement Hall also had many factions.

He didn’t even need to wait to know that in the end, only a few would be made to take the blame.

And then the matter would just fade away.

And he was powerless to do anything but to finish his own tasks first.

Otherwise, perhaps the one to take the blame would be someone from their own lineage.

The struggle within the Immortal Sects was even crueler than among ordinary people.
