After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 161: Offending Almost the Entire Sect
Chapter 161: Chapter 161: Offending Almost the Entire Sect
Law Enforcement Hall Prison.
Gu An had his five senses sealed as soon as he entered a few days ago, waiting for the trial.
It would be a lie to say he wasn’t worried.
Especially since he had absolutely no ability to escape.
His cultivation would be considered quite good in many places outside.
Especially in the beginning, at the Vajra Wood Spirit Wood Garden.
He was completely in control of his own territory.
But that place held no meaning for him.
Other than feeling more at ease, it neither allowed for promotion nor provided many Spirit Stones.
Not like here, where you could get hundreds of Spirit Stones just like that.
Amidst various worries, his senses were unsealed, and he saw many people getting captured.
The bigger the issue, the darker his future seemed.
The bigger the issue, the less he had a place to belong.
But compared to the large blade of Qianchen Peak, there was a glimmer of hope for survival.
"Are you not listening to me?" Chu Meng said dissatisfied:
"When a superior speaks, do you drift off?"
Gu An came back to his senses and looked at the person before him: "Senior, may I ask you a question?"
"Ask away," Chu Meng said, sitting down and munching on peanuts.
It seemed that after talking for so long, she was a bit tired as well.
"What cultivation level has Senior reached?" Gu An asked out of his inner puzzlement.
While in Qi Refinement, Gu An thought Chu Meng might be at Foundation Establishment.
But now that he himself had reached Perfect Foundation Establishment, he still couldn’t see through her cultivation level.
And now, at the early stages of Golden Core, that strong feeling still inflated him.
But still, he couldn’t see through the cultivation level of the person before him.
Even if her cultivation speed was faster, could it be faster than his own?
Unless she too could advance by logging.
"Me?" Chu Meng pointed at herself and proudly said:
"Of course, I’m a formidable Golden Core expert."
"What was Senior’s cultivation level at the time in the Vajra Spirit Wood Garden?" Gu An asked.
"Foundation Establishment," pondered Chu Meng:
"You didn’t mention it, and I’d nearly forgotten. How could you be so cruel?
Facing me, such a gorgeous and graceful Immortal, are you not moved?
Who is that wench that has charmed you to this extent?"
Gu An: "...."
In your eyes, it’s all about whether one is charmed or not.
Gu An remembered that woman, thinking that she was too cruel.
"Senior got promoted so quickly?" Gu An retorted.
No matter if Chu Meng was at the early stages of Foundation Establishment or at Perfect Foundation Establishment back then,
she definitely wasn’t at the early stage of Golden Core now.
That speed of promotion was incredibly fast.
Upon hearing this, Chu Meng chuckled, "Do you admire the strength of your superior? Let me tell you the truth, I am a rare unparalleled genius."
Gu An was speechless: "..."
For a while, he didn’t know how to respond.
"How did you reach Golden Core?" Chu Meng countered.
"I too am an unparalleled genius," replied Gu An noncommittally.
Chu Meng pondered for a moment: "Your undercover work wouldn’t happen to be specially arranged by that wench, would it? You actually might be a powerful expert.
Then, pretending to incrementally advance and stir up trouble step by step, to open a gap for that wench.
Like when you were killing people in the Outer Sect, that wench’s hand was extended over.
And now that you’re going on a killing spree in the Inner Sect, that wench’s hand has reached out again.
You wouldn’t happen to be silently protecting her, treasuring her in your heart, would you?"
Gu An: "..."
Your mind really wanders far.
Not paying attention to these, Gu An asked about the current situation.
As for the poison, he would refrain from asking about it for now.
What a disaster it will be if they decide to increase the dosage of my medicine.
He wanted to see if further advancement could neutralize the poison within his body.
How could it be that one remains Poisoned after reaching the Qi Refinement stage, and yet the poison cannot be resolved even at the Golden Core stage?
"Status?" Chu Meng only just came back to her senses and asked,
"The situation is rather complicated, completely beyond expectations."
With a sigh, she added, "You killed people, causing a huge commotion. The Law Enforcement Hall’s people rushed over immediately. Then, you spoke of corruption, right?"
Gu An nodded, "Yes, the issues with the Spiritual Treasure Vault, the axe from the Iron Heart Wood management, and the situation at the Speak and Teach Plaza."
"It seems the Law Enforcement Hall had a meeting, and then, three days after your arrest, they took action.
They took over the blades of Qianchen Peak and replaced them with the Law Enforcement Hall’s blades.
They arrested hundreds of people, and more than a hundred were killed."
"The people of Qianchen Peak didn’t just let the Law Enforcement Hall do this?" Gu An found it inconceivable.
"What else could they do? Was the Law Enforcement Hall just loafing around?" Chu Meng replied seriously, "Everyone’s greatest fear is a Law Enforcement Hall that means business. But indeed, Qianchen Peak was not pleased.
Then they put forth a request." ƒreewebɳovel.com
"What was it?" Gu An was somewhat concerned.
Chu Meng chuckled, "They said since Qianchen Peak has been investigated, all other areas should be checked too. Thus, the major cleansing of Qianchen Peak turned into a grand cleansing of the entire Sect.
Many people died, and the number of those arrested is countless. The Sect has become much quieter."
Chu Meng continued with a laugh, "Congratulations to you, for in a fit of rage, killing more than ten people, and thoroughly offending the entire Sect.
Even the Law Enforcement Hall has no idea how to deal with you. But the outcome will not be good, that’s for sure."
Gu An was somewhat taken aback.
He hadn’t expected such an outcome.
In that case, even if he were to leave the Law Enforcement Hall, it would be difficult for him to survive.
What about going to the Exile Land?
If he could go to the Exile Land, that might actually be a good thing.
But he feared that might not be possible.
After killing so many, and causing problems to spread elsewhere,
It’s almost certain these people won’t let him live.
The Law Enforcement Hall also must provide an explanation to appease the various Peaks.
Hence, he, the instigator, was bound to be sent out.
And his fate would surely be miserable.
"Scared?" Chu Meng popped some peanuts into her mouth and said, "Why did you do it in the first place?
You just never took your superior’s words to heart.
If you’re too compliant, they will bully and trample over you, but if you’re too defiant, they will annihilate you.
If your talent is too high and too strong, they won’t feel at ease with you either.
They will only be at peace if you are somewhat on their level.
You may be stronger towards those beneath you, but don’t overtly threaten the interests of your superiors.
Then no one will bother you.
These are lessons I’ve learned since I was young."
"So that’s why my superior was caught by me?" Gu An asked.
At this, Chu Meng’s brow twitched, and she put down the peanuts,
"As a subordinate, why are you talking back to your leader?
Don’t you want to get out?
Don’t you want to live?"
Hearing this, Gu An was stunned, "Do I still have a chance to leave alive?"
"Don’t you see who your superior is? The Sect’s unparalleled genius, who only wanted to hide her brilliance, but then you caught her, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she got." Clenching her fist, Chu Meng said, "If my strength had been greater at that time, breaking through my injuries, I would’ve definitely pulled your tendons out."
Gu An lowered his gaze and did not speak again to provoke the person before him.
"The grand cleansing of the Sect won’t happen so quickly, as it involves many interests, so for now, you’ll have to stay here.
You’ll likely face your verdict in another two months," Chu Meng said seriously,
"In this time, that vile woman has gained a lot of benefits, and within two months, it will be confirmed how much she has acquired.
So, as it stands, you have completed your task.
If you’ve done well enough, there’s definitely no problem in ensuring your safety.
But you may have caused her to incur losses. If that happens, it leaves only me to take action, and I might not be able to get you out.
But I will do my best, at least to keep you alive."
Gu An was quite moved, and he would have been even more so if not for the interference of the Charming Technique.
