After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 981 - 573: That’s Right, He’s Deeply Scheming
First strike and then modify
————
The Netherworld Clan belongs to an ancient race.
They hold extremely deep foundations.
Even more so, they have an ambiguous relationship with the Witch Clan’s Heavenly Court.
Especially since someone is currently ascending to Daluo status.
Such a clan, in theory, wouldn’t immediately express subservience.
There must be some resistance to it.
Gu An couldn’t believe such a clan would dislike freedom.
Soon, he understood.
"They are pretending; they are stalling for that powerful person ascending to Daluo." Gu An looked at Chu Meng seriously and said, "This is enduring humiliation for greater responsibility, hindering our progress. Only in this way can it make sense. Madam, what do you think?"
Chu Meng ate peanuts, thought for a moment, and said, "I think you could have just transmitted your voice to me, instead of saying it directly."
The others remained silent.
It seemed the person in front of them was deliberately picking a fight, intending to pressure the Netherworld Clan.
Whether the Netherworld Clan can withstand it is uncertain.
Of course, what was said made sense.
There might be an attempt to delay time.
As long as the mighty of the Netherworld Clan successfully ascend, the crisis will naturally be resolved.
Even the Cangmu Sect won’t rashly offend a Daluo.
Especially one who’s quite connected with the Witch Clan.
A mistake could force an alliance between them and the Witch Clan joining the Heavenly Court, which is adverse.
And hearing Gu An’s words, the old man’s cold sweat ran down.
I, Yang, understand that the opponent openly tells him that sufficient compensation is needed to settle this matter.
Otherwise, the opponent intends to act.
And it’s definitely not something the opponent could handle.
The clan’s own Heavenly Pride, currently ascending, even stated clearly.
If not when ascending to Daluo, he cannot stop it.
The Qingqiu Clan, being a Daoist Orthodox race with the support of the Daoist essence, was still exterminated.
Common races simply cannot resist.
Additionally, what’s most terrifying is that the Daoist Orthodox Sect was eradicated, yet the World Dao did not impose any severe punishment, merely allowing the Cangmu Sect to give a reason.
What does this indicate?
The World Dao has fully backed the Cangmu Sect.
Given this, there are only two possibilities.
One, the new era’s Dao must rely on the Cangmu Sect.
Two, the Cangmu Sect harbors a super powerful being capable of altering the World order.
If the second possibility comes true, the first becomes unconditionally attached.
Therefore, now even without a Daluo, those with Daluo should measure their prowess.
Thus, the Netherworld Clan no longer dares to entertain any extraneous thoughts.
Because the person before them is truly not joking.
He would exterminate a clan.
In a relatively peaceful era,
how did this God of Killing come into being?
Thereafter, the old man respectfully saluted, "Our clan is willing to offer the clan’s treasure, expressing loyalty to the Netherworld."
Gu An frowned.
What’s the use of this thing?
Seeing Gu An frown, the old man’s heart skipped a beat, finally gritting his teeth and saying, "Still, senior’s insight is discerning. We will also offer the Netherworld Road, guiding earthly yin energy, thus nourishing a sacred land."
Gu An remained unmoved.
The old man felt humiliated.
Yet he still bowed his head, "The Netherworld Clan is willing to offer the Netherworld Life and Death Book, entrusting life and death to your hands from now on."
Gu An stared at the other party and said, "Now I have only one question: Do you have anyone from the Heavenly Court here?"
"Yes," the old man nodded.
Gu An nodded, "Bring them out. Also, which side do you plan to stand on now? The new era or the old one?"
"Wherever you stand, that’s where we’ll stand," the old man replied.
Gu An shook his head, "If the Heavenly Court sends out a Daluo, where will you stand?"
The old man was stunned for a moment, then said, "Naturally still on your side."
Gu An nodded, "Give me the items, and I want the Netherworld Tree as well."
The old man dared not hesitate any longer and immediately said, "We will arrange it right away."
Gu An looked at them without much emotion in his heart.
Their submission was because he was stronger; if he didn’t control them now, they would undoubtedly pose a threat later.
He couldn’t believe he had the personal charisma to make them follow him to death.
Such a situation doesn’t exist.
Kindness would jeopardize him.
Later, just give the items to Senior Brother Hua and let him handle it.
As far as Senior Brother Hua’s capability is concerned.
That’s all Gu An could do.
It can only be said to contribute to the reconstruction of the Heavenly Court for Senior Brother Hua.
Nothing more.
The treasures are to be taken, and the Divine Tree must be cut down too.
Regarding the Daluo, as long as it’s not being promoted right now,
it has nothing to do with him.
Let Senior Brother Hua figure it out.
Soon, Gu An received the items, the Netherworld, the Netherworld Road, the Life and Death Book; all were in hand.
Without courtesy, they were all sealed first with Age Cycle Twelve Stars.
If there are issues, they will be dealt with.
Then let Chu Meng check it before passing it to Senior Brother Hua.
Of course, while accepting the items, he could feel the oppression and anger of the Netherworld Clan.
But it’s not important.
These were originally the former subordinates of the Heavenly Court.
They couldn’t be trusted unconditionally.
If they were to backstab during a battle, that would be the most horrible.
If the opposing side were stronger, the Heavenly Court might not be more merciful than him.
"Send someone to the Dao Sect of East Dao Ancient State. Someone there will arrange things for you, and I hope you can cooperate," Gu An replied calmly.
"We will, whatever is needed. We will firmly cooperate, only hoping you leave a way out," the old man bowed his head and said.
He naturally dared not think of anything else.
Now, he could only hope their side wins.
If defeated, perhaps their clan would also face extermination.
The struggle of major forces is far more ruthless than they imagined.
Their innate race, having come this far, knew this all too well.
All things wither, all are deathly silent.
These are left behind by the struggles of great forces.
Gu An nodded and said, "As long as you firmly stand with us, the things will eventually return to your hands, except for that tree."
