After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 9 - : Prosperity

Feeling the force on his neck, Shang Yundong's eyes were wide with fury as he glared at Gu An and gritted his teeth:

"Despicable loose cultivator, you're seeking death!"

The moment the words fell, Shang Yundong's arm amassed strength; his Qi Refining Fourth Layer cultivation erupted, striking at the person before him.

The fist wind howled, carrying with it a fierce Sword Intent.

Such an attack was definitely not something a Third Level Qi Refining could withstand.

Just when Shang Yundong thought a single hit would seriously injure his opponent.

Suddenly, his hand struck something.

With a bang!

Qi-Blood surged.

The sound of cracking followed.

Then, Shang Yundong saw his force-gathering arm gradually deform.

Finally, it was thrown out violently.

His entire arm shattered into pieces.

Blood spattered into the room.

Terrified, agonized, and bewildered, a variety of emotions made Shang Yundong scream miserably.

However, Gu An didn't wait for him to continue making noise, he directly pressed his face into the dirt.

With a "bang", Shang Yundong's blood spurted everywhere.

Even as the other party struggled, he couldn't make much noise.

"Why does the team leader have to trouble someone lowly like me? Wouldn't it be better to leave after checking the previous room?

Everyone minds their own business, and now, everyone is plunged into danger.

I think the team leader can understand my position."

Gu An spoke calmly, his eyes already devoid of any emotion.

Now was his most dangerous moment.

He couldn't afford a single error.

He mobilized everything in his body.

If anything went wrong, he would be the one to die.

Coldness was for the sake of surviving better.

This was something he had figured out from the beginning.

He was suspected by Shang Yundong; no matter how much he delayed, it was useless.

The other party was bound to come looking for him.

Unable to prevent it, he could only allow the other party to come boldly.

Hoping the other party could see his emotions, feel there was nothing to gain, and thus leave.

Unfortunately, once the seed of suspicion was planted, it was akin to being convicted.

Whether innocent or not was irrelevant; he had to face this calamity.

Since he couldn't resolve this calamity, it was better to deal with the person who brought the calamity.

"I, I am an Outer Disciple, you dare to kill me?" Shang Yundong's harrowing voice came from underground.

Gu An paid no attention, instead, he clenched his fist and executed the Mountain Opening Fist.

A punch came crashing down.

Boom!

This strike directly aimed at Shang Yundong's head.

Yet it was blocked by a force, a Defensive Treasure.

"Ha ha, Mountain Opening Fist? You think such lowly attack techniques could break through my Magic Treasure? You can't kill me." Feeling the Magic Treasure's momentary effect, Shang Yundong laughed out loud.

However, his laughter soon faded.

As Gu An clenched his fist, grabbing Shang Yundong's neck, punch after punch hammered down.

Venting all the strength from his body.

Crack!

Finally, the Magic Treasure showed cracks.

Following that, his fist landed on Shang Yundong's body.

His skull shattered, collapsing inward.

But still, he did not die.

However, feeling the terrifying fists, Shang Yundong became frantic, his trembling voice quickly pleading: "Impossible, don't kill me, I can work for you, I'll give you the team leader's position, I didn't see anything today.

Don't kill..."

Bang!

Gu An's fist didn't stop, finishing off the opponent directly.

Then he used a dagger to further pierce the heart area.

He stabbed both the left and right sides.

This way, he should not be able to live.

Regardless of where his heart was, he was bound to die.

After doing this, Gu An finally picked up a nearby towel to wipe the fresh blood stained on his hands.

Somewhat unaccustomed.

Even felt like vomiting.

But now he couldn't show any of that, at least not in front of the woman in the room.

Indifference, ruthlessness, these were the impressions he needed to leave.

Somehow, it would be to his own benefit.

Afterward, without another glance at Chu Meng, he dragged Shang Yundong's body to the backyard.

After stripping the body of valuable items, he began to dig a hole.

He didn't dare to carry it out.

It was too risky.

He could only temporarily keep it in the backyard, hoping no one would suspect him.

As long as he continued to display the cultivation of the Third Level of Qi Refining, no one would suspect.

After the burial, Gu An planted vegetables over the disturbed earth.

Then he returned to his room to clean up the bloodstains.

He was busy until late into the night.

It was only then that Gu An finally sat down in the training room.

And began to calculate his gains from this occasion.

Chu Meng watched Gu An with some disbelief.

Previously, she had just felt that the person before her was somewhat shameless, but now she found him somewhat horrifying.

He had brought people in calmly, and as soon as the door was opened, he killed them outright.

And that strange use of Mountain Opening Fist.

Was that really the Mountain Opening Fist?

She had never seen anyone practice Mountain Opening Fist to such an extent.

It was just a boxing technique used by Loose Cultivators during their transition, of little utility.

And not particularly powerful.

Yet, he managed to shatter a Defensive Treasure with it.

As for the person just now, she didn't actually know him, but he must have come looking for her, and he even found her.

Pity he wasn't as cunning as that wretch's covert agent.

"From your conversation just now, he was your team leader?" Chu Meng curiously asked, "Was your team leader position removed? Has the Sect already searched to this area?"

"Yes," Gu An nodded slightly, "Now that he's dead, it should draw some attention."

"And yet you dared to kill him?" Chu Meng asked instinctively.

But she quickly shut her mouth.

Because there was no choice but to kill.

"How about letting me go?" Chu Meng continued.

Gu An shook his head: "Senior knows that it's impossible."

"Why on earth are you so devoted to that wretch? Besides her looks and figure, what is there worth selling out for?" Chu Meng asked loudly.

She wants my life, Gu An thought bitterly.

He didn't want to be involved in such a vortex.

But no one gave him the choice.

If he didn't get involved, it meant death; as someone at the bottom, he could only struggle to survive.

Without a word, Gu An looked at the loot he had acquired.

Something like a small pouch, along with a broken Jade Pendant.

That was all.

"Is this a Storage Treasure?" Gu An asked, looking at the small pouch.

Similar to Chu Meng's.

He sensed it and found that it was indeed a very small Storage Treasure.

It could fit one person inside, like a sack.

"This item is standard issue, every Outer Disciple can have one, and if purchased separately, it's the same," Chu Meng kindly explained.

Gu An nodded but did not fully believe her.

For safety's sake, he planned to sell it and then buy a new one.

It would be a loss of some Spirit Stones, but since Spirit Stones were not abundant at the moment, he could use it temporarily.

As for the Jade Pendant, it was already broken and of no use.

And this time, besides the Storage Treasure, naturally, it was the items inside that were the real loot.

Shang Yundong wasn't very rich, but he was incomparable to a Loose Cultivator.

Just the Spirit Stones alone amounted to sixteen, there were two bottles of Elixir Pills, a secret book, and a Spirit Sword.

If the Storage Treasure was included,

The total value was over two hundred Spirit Stones.

"Suddenly, there's a feeling of wealth."

Gu An couldn't help but mock himself inwardly.

Shang Yundong was dead, and it wouldn't be long before it was discovered.

There would certainly be an investigation.

If he managed to evade that, he could continue working in the Spirit Tree Garden.

Then who would take over as the team leader?

Normally, he would give Spirit Stones to Manager Chen to restore his position as team leader.

But now targeted, the more he did, the more mistakes he could make.

He could only take things one step at a time.

There was no rush in delivering Spirit Stones.

At least he could afford the rent for the courtyard now.
