After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 499 - 333: First Institute Number One? The Sky Is Falling
After these people left, Gu An and Chu Meng also quickly departed.
The commotion here was significant, easily attracting others.
Naturally, it was best to leave first.
Should a powerful individual arrive, it would be dangerous.
Although Chu Meng said that those above the Returning to Void stage rarely come here, such things are always uncertain.
On the way, Gu An did a quick inventory check of the Storage Treasure.
He found some simple Cultivation Techniques, Magic, and Magic Treasures.
There were also a few Elixir Pills and talismans.
Collecting a number of Spirit Swords, Gu An divided the items equally with Chu Meng.
There were a total of 123,000 Spirit Stones.
Mainly because Zhan Tai Xiu had many Spirit Stones, while the others had pitifully few.
The Storage Treasure of Returning to Void Perfection had been destroyed.
Therefore, they didn’t get anything from it.
Additionally, within Zhan Tai Xiu’s Storage Treasure, there was a Magic book named Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Technique.
"Does this Divine Thunder Technique have anything to do with the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Tower?" Gu An asked curiously.
"It should, probably as a set.
To maximize the power of the Divine Thunder, it needs to be used in conjunction with that tower," Chu Meng replied, pausing before asking, "How did you win just now?"
"I used the senior’s peanuts to block the first attack, and then I started to counterattack," Gu An responded.
Actually, the might of those peanuts was still too little.
He should learn some Finger Snapping type Magic,
like the Leaf Plucking technique that can injure others.
Especially with the enhancement of Qi Sea Sky Gang, such techniques would be incredibly powerful in his hands.
"I meant the stone at the end," Chu Meng said, putting away the peanuts.
"The stone was purchased; I realized it could be used as a hidden weapon. It can’t be moved, only hidden within the Age Cycle Twelve Stars.
Just now, it was released from among the Stars."
Gu An was telling the truth, merely omitting the part about him infusing the stone with Gang Qi.
"With the Twelve Stars following you, they must be feeling quite aggrieved," Chu Meng couldn’t help but remark, then added, "If you’re already this strong, why do you still call me senior?"
Thinking that she was indeed inscrutable and strong, but verbally replying, "It’s a matter of respect towards one’s superiors."
"When we return to the Sect, you’d best find a way to change that, otherwise the troubles awaiting you will be smaller than you expect," Chu Meng seriously advised.
Gu An did not say anything further but divided half of the loot with Chu Meng.
He kept the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Technique for himself.
Afterward, Gu An brought up the possibility of asking for Magic related to Finger Snapping as his reward.
Chu Meng nodded and said she would try.
"It seems like the Royal Family has encountered some issues, many things have suddenly piled up. Do you think the marriage alliances will be settled after we return?" Chu Meng asked.
"Without me there, the First Institute must be having a hard time, I wonder if they’ve already been eliminated," Gu An said, feeling sentimental.
He didn’t want to be eliminated.
Having that identity offered him much greater security.
As they continued on their way, their conversation became less frequent and more serious.
Out of curiosity, he asked.
"My Maid will soon arrive, shouldn’t I act more formally?" Chu Meng responded naturally.
So you’re informal only in front of me? Gu An was inwardly astonished.
However, on the way, Chu Meng indeed behaved properly and dignified, with a sense of aloofness,
Barely snacking on any peanuts.
Now that she had put away the peanuts, it seemed the person was about to arrive.
He also put away the All Living Beings face and returned to normal.
After walking for a while longer, two figures arrived quickly.
It was Chu Meng’s first Maid, Chunyu, and the fourth Maid, Dongxue.
Gu An had tasted the dishes prepared by the first, second, and third Maids.
The first Maid’s cooking was probably the best, followed by the third.
As for the Second Maid, since they were both subordinates, let’s not make life difficult for each other.
"Miss," both of them appeared somewhat anxious.
"What about the people from Cangmu Sect?" Chu Meng asked calmly.
"They’re nearby. They are also looking for someone," Chunyu answered.
"Is the Jiuxiao Pavilion’s mission completed?" Chu Meng asked again.
"It’s done. Most of their people have already left. Cheng Yifei is leading some people to help recruit others," Chunyu instantly replied.
Gu An was slightly surprised. Cheng Yifei should have reached the mountain peak to acquire what he desired.
Unexpectedly, instead of leaving, he stayed to help search for others.
As for himself, he had been captured by someone at the Returning to Void Perfection stage. Logically, they shouldn’t have had any reason to stay.
Soon, they joined up.
Cheng Yifei was rather emotional, "Fellow daoist, it’s good that you’re unharmed."
Ye Xiu lowered her eyebrows and said, "It was my impulsiveness that caused trouble for the Institute Head."
Gu An looked at them and shook his head slightly, saying, "The mission is over once we get out. You’re all free to leave now."
With that, Gu An retracted his bracelet, adding, "Now it’s your turn not to hold grudges against me."
The two were slightly silent, not expecting the Institute Head to let them go so quickly.
"By the way, if you’re interested in this secret realm, you could try to explore a bit. Also, this is for you." Saying this, Gu An took out the Heart Purification and Enlightenment Technique, "It’s a passable Cultivation Technique."
Gu An had no intention of keeping them.
Especially not Zhao Qingshan.
Although Ye Xiu was impulsive, she would only kill when enraged.
She probably wouldn’t act recklessly at other times.
But Zhao Qingshan was different, to ensure that this incident didn’t cause trouble, he would take Ye Xiu to kill even more people.
The people who died from the Jiuxiao Pavilion before, it was definitely Zhao Qingshan’s idea.
Out of all of them, Gu An felt Zhang San was the most handy to use.
He would act but wouldn’t go on a killing spree with Chen Changfeng.
With independent thoughts and personal biases,
such a person was the most convenient.
And would also complete his tasks.
Without fault.
Chen Changfeng, Ye Xiu, and Zhao Qingshan were all not suitable as pawns.
Afterward, everyone left the secret realm together.
Gu An wanted to leave at the first opportunity.
"Aren’t you staying for a while longer?" Cheng Yifei spoke up, attempting to persuade him to stay.
