After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 498 - 332: Senior at Perfect Foundation Establishment Can Surely Kill Returning to Void Perfection_2
Gu An had heard of the Nine Heavens Divine Monarch but did not know if there was any relation.
However, he was truly uninterested in the fortunes within.
Right now, he had already gained enough benefits.
His cultivation had ascended to another realm, and he had achieved Great Success in the Fifth Volume of Qi Sea Sky Gang.
Once the Magic was full, he could completely enhance other spells.
The Age Cycle Twelve Stars, the Seven Emotions and Six Desires, and the Prison Cage could also be attempted to strengthen.
Drawing a Prison had turned into the Divine Power of Sun and Moon; otherwise, it too needed to be upgraded.
With the improvement of his own cultivation level, the power of some killing techniques and spells had become somewhat inadequate.
Relying solely on Qi Sea Sky Gang and the Human World Blade was a bit insufficient.
When the chance arises, he should still learn more.
"Speaking of which, don’t you plan to secretly kill that Zhan Tai Xiu? You were Poisoned by him; if not for having me, your superior, you would have been doomed," Chu Meng asked curiously.
Gu An pondered for a moment and replied, "Leaving is leaving, probably won’t have the chance now, the other party cares about his reputation, but our enmity is not that great.
He should hate Zuo Youyan and Ye Xiu, they are the ones who did not give face to the other party, not much to do with me.
However, it should be his arrangement that caught me and took me to the mountain top.
Speaking of which, I still have a grudge against him.
But now is not the time; it’s better to leave first."
It wasn’t that he was magnanimous, but it was necessary to understand priorities.
If there was a chance, he too hoped that the other party could let go of their prejudices, and everyone could get along harmoniously.
But he could not wait.
Nobody knew when the other party would come out, and waiting was a trouble.
The benefits were already sufficient; leaving as quickly as possible before troubles arrived was the best choice.
Moreover, it was already June; having left for nearly half a year, he didn’t know if the First Institute had been eliminated in these days.
He hoped they could persist a little longer.
Just maintaining the quota was enough.
Chu Meng said nothing, kicking her skirt while walking, and said, "You’ve got the goods, you can think about what you want now. There should be fragments, with this one making six, right?"
Gu An nodded: "Three more and I can join Luo Sheng Hall?"
"Yes, but you may only hold dual identity with Luo Sheng Hall, since you are the Master of the First Institute," she replied.
Gu An felt that this was enough.
Suddenly, Gu An stopped and turned his head to look behind: "How did they catch up?"
Although there were people secretly following when he left,
they had already been cleared by him.
It was impossible to be tracked.
He wasn’t foolish; he would be wary for sure.
"The poison on you," Chu Meng said nonchalantly: "You think poison is only meant for poisoning people? You are clearly inexperienced."
Gu An: "...."
It turned out he hadn’t noticed; it seems his perception was not keen enough, he still needed to enhance it.
The Qi Breathing Chapter and the Seven Emotions and Six Desires needed serious cultivation.
Soon, figures landed around Gu An and Chu Meng.
Zhan Tai Xiu arrived, accompanied by a Perfect Returning to Void Cultivator.
Some people who were waiting in front of the cave mansion also came.
As well as a small portion of those who had entered the cave mansion.
They all looked at Gu An, with no longer the previous wariness in their eyes.
Instead, they seemed eager to watch a good show.
Gu An, watching the scene, felt quite helpless.
Originally, there was no chance, but now it seemed there was.
"Senior," Gu An lightly touched Chu Meng’s arm, "Leave the Perfect Returning to Void to you; I’ll handle the rest."
Chu Meng looked at Gu An incredulously: "I’m at Perfect Foundation Establishment."
Gu An immediately said, "I as Golden Core Late Stage can fight Late Stage Returning to Void, can’t Senior at Perfect Foundation Establishment beat Perfect Returning to Void?"
Holding a peanut, Chu Meng said, "You’re really making things hard for your superior. As a subordinate, you should be willing to go through fire and water, and only when big shots are provoked should I, your superior, step in to mediate."
With that, she moved Gu An in front of her.
Gu An: "...."
This superior really doesn’t seem to care much about the well-being of her subordinate.
Zhan Tai Xiu, now standing in the front, righteously said to Gu An, "Zuo Youyan, you have hindered people from seeking fortune in the cave mansion and collected Spirit Stones from others, your greed knows no bounds and you’re bloodthirsty and brutal, you must be a fiend from the Demon Path. Today, we shall eliminate the demon and defend the path."
Gu An was somewhat surprised, "Wasn’t it you who told me to stop Golden Core Perfection and below cultivators?"
"Ridiculous," laughed Zhan Tai Xiu, "If I intended to stop others, why not set the threshold higher?
These are just your means of amassing wealth, yet you try to shift the blame onto others.
Such a simple truth you don’t understand, how could others not?"
The crowd nodded along.
Indeed, that was the case.
If it were Zhan Tai Xiu, then why set the limit at Golden Core Perfection?
He could easily set the limit at Returning to Void, or even make it hard for stronger ones to enter.
After all, even Late Stage Returning to Void would not have an easy time getting in.
"Hand over the Storage Treasure, return the Spirit Stones to fellow daoists, and then incapacitate your cultivation; I guarantee I will see you safely away from here, giving you a chance, otherwise..." Zhan Tai Xiu secretly lit an incense stick and continued, "Otherwise, I won’t be able to save you.
Miss this opportunity, and even with the thin face I, Zhan Tai Xiu, have, it would be hard to plead with fellow daoists to let you go."
"Yeah indeed, give back the Spirit Stones, dissipate your own cultivation, and we’ll let bygones be bygones," some people in the crowd chimed in.
Looking at the incense in the other’s hand, Gu An hesitated, but in the end gave up the idea of pretending to be poisoned.
"Well then... I won’t hold back."
At this moment, the cultivator at the Perfection of Returning to Void frowned and coldly shouted, "Seeking death."
Following that, he formed a seal with his hand and pointed forward with two fingers as if they were a sword.
With a ’whoosh’,
a long sword unsheathed and attacked Gu An.
However, in the midst of the flying sword’s flight, a peanut came flying from the opposite direction.
’Clang!’
The sword collided with the peanut.
Instantly, their forces canceled each other out.
Both the sword and the peanut fell to the ground at the same time.
And in that instant,
Gu An had suddenly arrived in front of the formidable Return to Void Perfection cultivator.
The World’s First Blade, Parting.
’Clang!’
’Boom!’
A torrent of tremendous force spread out.
Gu An’s blade was forcefully blocked by the opponent’s Spirit Sword.
The opponent also had quite a few Spirit Swords.
This clash of power made the bystanders retreat subconsciously.
The sudden attack shocked the heart of the Returning to Void Perfection.
But it also made him even more furious.
What level of cultivation is this, to dare show off in front of him?
He withdrew his two fingers and transformed them into a palm, striking out in an instant.
Gu An responded with a punch.
A vast handprint emerged from the palm of his opponent.
Even as Gu An exerted all his strength to wield the Sea Suppressing Fist, his entire body was blasted away by the roar.
As the distance between them widened, the opponent grasped his sword which blazed like fire, and the sound of the Phoenix Call resonated.
With this sword strike, he was convinced he could kill Gu An. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
However, at the moment he was about to swing his sword, he suddenly felt something oppressive descending on his head.
Looking up instantly, he saw a giant stone falling from the sky.
"Trifling trick."
He struck with his sword.
As the sword light hit the boulder, suddenly, a stream of indescribable Gang Qi transformed into towering waves, sweeping across the area.
The Perfect Returning to Void Cultivator was hit first.
’Rumble!’
The Gang Qi swept over, leaving no grass standing in its path.
The terrifying and powerful force completely leveled the entire forest.
Those with weaker cultivation died on the spot.
As for the Returning to Void Perfection Cultivator who took the hit head-on.
In an instant... it was a scene of devastation.
At this time, Zhan Tai Xiu was too close and was sent flying backward, heavily crashing to the ground.
A mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out.
His body was covered in wounds.
He looked incredulously at the center of the force.
At this moment, Gu An was steadily approaching him.
Beside him followed a woman who was eating peanuts.
Then he immediately looked at the incense in his hand; he was sure that it had burned down quite a bit, and he was sure he hadn’t picked the wrong one.
"It’s impossible, how are you unharmed?" Zhan Tai Xiu questioned.
"Surprised?" Gu An stood before Zhan Tai Xiu and said, "Did you think your poison would work on me?"
"You..." Zhan Tai Xiu was astonished, "You knew?"
Gu An nodded, "I knew, but it doesn’t matter now, does it?"
"You can’t kill me." Zhan Tai Xiu immediately said.
"We are all no children here; why say such childish things? Be strong-willed, it’s better for everyone. I, Zuo Youyan, am a merciful person; I will not let a fellow daoist suffer." As Gu An spoke, he slightly waved the blade in his hand.
"No, I can serve you..." And then the blade fell.
After that, there was no more sound from him.
Thus, Gu An glanced at the remaining people.
They looked at Gu An with horror and unease.
"I have lost some Spirit Stones recently, have any of you fellow daoists picked them up?" Gu An asked slowly.
"There are." Suddenly, someone amongst them spoke out loudly, "Yes, I found a Storage Treasure with some Spirit Stones inside, surely they were dropped by the senior."
Gu An received the Storage Treasure from him and said, "There are still good people around, then shall I see you out?"
"No, no need, I’ll leave on my own." Upon hearing this, the person quickly fled.
The others followed suit.
The remaining sixteen people all left their Storage Treasures behind.
No matter how precious the contents were, they were not as precious as their lives.
Their cultivation was not weak; Spirit Stones could be earned again.
But the name Zuo Youyan was something they never wanted to hear again.
They would certainly inform others, so that those more powerful would seek retribution.
