After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 490 - 329: I Heard the Immortal Has a Big Grudge Against Me
Watching the angry expression on the other’s face.
Gu An took two steps back and said, "Fellow daoist, may you do me the honor of looking past this? I’m young and have no ill intentions.
It was just a slap to the face, nothing irreversible.
Shall we just let bygones be bygones?"
"You..." Zhan Tai Xiu watched Gu An with cold eyes, a malignant glint flickering in them.
In the end, he suppressed it and said, "Fine, let’s leave it at that.
I am a direct disciple of the Tianhe Lineage, surnamed Zhan, named Tai Xiu. And you are?"
Gu An looked at the man before him with slight surprise, replying, "A loose cultivator, named Zuo Youyan."
"Then, Fellow Daoist Zuo, let’s indeed drop this matter. What brings you here?" Zhan Tai Xiu asked calmly.
Gu An, looking at the person before him, said, "To kill someone."
Zhan Tai Xiu: "..."
He had never seen someone so forthright. And this place was Jiuxiao Pavilion; to kill so openly, was it not taking Jiuxiao Pavilion lightly?
But he didn’t plan to ask more, just delaying was enough.
He was going to make this Zuo Youyan pay the price.
And the girl behind had already sent out the message.
Though it was not fast, what if someone came looking?
Gu An moved back to Chu Meng’s side without saying more.
He squinted his eyes, watching Zhan Tai Xiu.
He could only sense something different about the latter.
It seemed like he was skilled in using poison.
"You’re not going to make a move on him?" Chu Meng asked curiously.
"Isn’t the mission to find someone?" Gu An watched Zhan Tai Xiu and the Immortal from a distance and continued,
"They will surely summon people, and by then, we will find the person we’re looking for.
Moreover, this Zhan Tai Xiu is not simple. He has a powerful defensive treasure on him.
Furthermore, he’s skilled in poison.
He already used it on me during our conversation.
With this, he will surely be unconcerned about the people he summons.
It will be convenient for us to complete the mission."
"Aren’t you afraid of being poisoned?" Chu Meng inquired casually.
"Shouldn’t senior have a way?" Gu An turned to look at Chu Meng.
Chu Meng took out an elixir pill, handed it to Gu An, and said, "Consider this a reward in advance. Once ingested, you won’t be poisoned for a month, nor can the poison be cured.
It keeps your body in its current state; if any wounds appear, it can resist many things."
Saying that, Chu Meng ate one herself.
Gu An hesitated, then took one too.
Actually, he possessed Xuanhuang Qi and Qi Sea Sky Gang.
Such poisons may indeed be useless.
Sure enough, not long after, two groups of people arrived.
They spotted Gu An and his group immediately, but soon lost interest.
Instead, they began to discuss amongst themselves.
Chu Meng shared some peanuts with Gu An and said, "Do you think they’re plotting to kill you?"
"That’s always been their intention," Gu An speculated, "Among them is one at Returning to Void Perfection. The people of Jiuxiao Pavilion are indeed powerful.
I hardly saw anyone this strong in the Cangmu Sect."
"That’s because you have limited exposure. There are many at Returning to Void, but most of those people rarely descend the mountain," Chu Meng casually replied.
"What cultivation level are the Twelve True Inheritors?" Gu An asked with curiosity.
"You’re asking what cultivation level that bitch has, aren’t you?" Chu Meng munched on peanuts and said, "Very powerful, it is said that very few of the Twelve True Inheritors could suppress her head-on.
How strong exactly, it’s hard to say.
Anyway, she’s not one to provoke."
"What’s her name?" Gu An continued to inquire.
Chu Meng looked astonished, "You don’t know?"
"I’ve only seen her once. The names of the Twelve True Inheritors aren’t widely known in the Outer Peak or outside, and even fewer mention them," Gu An answered helplessly.
"Immortal Xun Yue," Chu Meng replied offhandedly.
"Immortal Xun Yue?" Gu An repeated while eating peanuts.
The name didn’t seem very intimidating, and it appeared she wasn’t particularly young either.
Chu Meng looked at Gu An with a teasing smirk and said, "Asking me her name, are you planning to call it out openly? You’re terrifying, going to any lengths just to utter that name."
Caught off guard by her response, Gu An stood dumbfounded.
He looked at the person in front of him, puzzled.
What exactly was going through the mind of his superior?
If it weren’t for the fact that he was no match for her, he would really love to take a look inside her brain to see what filled her small skull.
"No need to explain, I understand. In facing such a person, simply yelling her name would make you happy," Chu Meng jest with a mouthful of peanuts.
Gu An: "..."
Do you really not listen to what you’re saying?
Since when does calling a name bring happiness?
At this moment, Zhan Tai Xiu approached.
"Fellow Daoist Zuo," Zhan Tai Xiu said politely, "We have discussed and believe that it is only fitting for fellow daoist to keep watch over this place.
Since you are here looking for someone, it makes sense for you to guard the cave entrance.
We will inform various people to come here.
By then, fellow daoist only needs to allow cultivators of Golden Core Perfection and above to enter.
The cave is not simple; anyone weaker could cause trouble.
We will set up the barrier, but the Barrier Compass will be entrusted to you."
Hearing this, Gu An curiously asked, "What if someone insists on entering?"
"Then fellow daoist should stop them, and we will come out to explain for fellow daoist," Zhan Tai Xiu earnestly answered.
Gu An narrowed his eyes, replying, "Isn’t that inconvenient?"
At that moment, the middle-aged man at Returning to Void Perfection approached and asked, "Does fellow daoist have any other concerns?"
He didn’t exert any pressure, but the aura of Returning to Void Perfection was plain to see.
Gu An no longer delayed and nodded, "None at all. Since this is the case, I’ll gladly accept, as it’s a good opportunity to search for someone."
Afterward, he took the Barrier Compass.
Satisfied, both men left.
"Did they threaten you? Can’t you beat someone at Returning to Void Perfection?" Chu Meng inquired curiously.
Gu An shook his head, "If I can’t beat him, can senior intervene?"
"I’m at Perfect Foundation Establishment, don’t count on me," Chu Meng took two steps back and said.
