After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 162: How About Going to the Exile Land After All

Chapter 162: Chapter 162: How About Going to the Exile Land After All

Mid-April.

Many people at Qianchen Peak were anxious and distressed.

The Law Enforcement Hall’s men visited frequently.

They would always take some people away, interrogating others.

The slightest carelessness could lead to being arrested.

The previously arrogant and domineering ones no longer dared to be reckless.

Today, Immortal Xu returned to the teahouse covered in wounds.

Her arm had not yet healed.

Recalling the incident more than a month ago, her heart quivered with fear.

Initially, she wanted to entice Gu An to reveal his Spirit Stone stash.

However, not only did he take all their Spirit Stones, but he also severely injured her arm.

When she awoke, she was furious.

She wanted to seek help, to at least make Gu An understand that she was not to be trifled with.

But then...

Chaos erupted at Qianchen Peak that day.

Someone went on a killing spree.

Many powerful individuals were slain, and furthermore, officers from the Law Enforcement Hall began arresting people.

She was among those arrested.

Only then did she realize what had happened.

Gu An had killed people in the plaza, slaughtering a dozen or two.

Regardless of their background, they were killed.

Moreover, it triggered the great sword of the Law Enforcement Hall.

In an instant, the vast majority of the wealth accumulators at Qianchen Peak fell.

Even those who had already left the Sect to complete missions, the Law Enforcement Hall’s men were dispatched to search for them.

They wanted a thorough cleansing.

This made Immortal Xu, who longed for revenge, sweat coldly, her heart trembling with fear.

The night before the killing, they were being taught a lesson by him.

Therefore, at that time, he had not killed them, not having the intention to murder.

If he had intended to, the outcome...

Just thinking about it made Immortal Xu involuntarily shiver with cold.

She no longer dared to harbor any thoughts.

Inside the Law Enforcement Hall, she was questioned.

It was because some people were related to her, and she needed to cooperate.

How could she dare to not cooperate?

Luckily, she was despised but had not been involved in the corruption.

In the end, all her Spirit Stones were confiscated, and all her Merits were cleared.

Only then was she able to leave alive.

Watching the empty teahouse, Immortal Xu slowly shut the door.

Then, she squatted down leaning against it.

Burying her head in her knees, she trembled all over, and then let out a choked sob.

She had been detained and interrogated by the Law Enforcement Hall for a month.

Her fear had peaked.

Living to return was akin to her ancestors blessing her from beyond the grave.

At this moment, voices came from outside.

"Yang, Senior Brother Yang, could Senior Brother Gu be in trouble?" Yu Tu’s voice came from outside.

Yang Qi and Yu Tu passed by the teahouse without stopping.

They discussed the current situation as they walked.

"I asked someone from my hometown, and she seemed quite shocked, never expecting such a thing to happen," Yang Qi said with furrowed brows:

"But she also doesn’t know what will happen; she only knows that Senior Brother Gu is finished."

The sunlight shone upon them, and Yang Qi looked up wistfully: "Initially, I even told Senior Brother Gu to run, but he had his plans all along.

No wonder he remained calm from the start.

To kill in the plaza, and such a mass slaughter at that."

"When we were in the Outer Sect, it was the same," Yu Tu earnestly said: "I watched, watched Senior Brother Gu killing people, and he... his face showed neither sorrow nor joy."

"We were just too narrow-minded. This time, no one in the Sect dares speak loudly, and no one dares to claim innocence.

Everyone can only obediently wait for the trial.

As my fellow villager said, Senior Brother Gu was too conspicuous, and it’s almost certain he cannot escape his fate."

"Senior Brother Gu is not wrong," Yu Tu earnestly said.

"Right and wrong are not for us to decide, it depends on how the Sect measures it," Yang Qi shook his head and sighed:

"Right and wrong are complex matters, the Sect does not seek justice but benefits."

The two sighed.

...

In the following period, more people were successively sent back.

Everyone felt their hearts palpitate.

Immortal Bai Qing was also taken away.

All the axes she managed were being investigated.

She was questioned in the same way, about how she knew there was a problem with the axes and what she did about it.

She didn’t dare to hesitate and answered every question.

It was then mentioned that Gu An often chopped wood.

But he didn’t use these new axes, he always used the old ones.

The old axes were also taken for investigation.

The final result was this.

All the new axes had issues, only that old axe was without issue.

In an instant, Bai Qing was stunned.

That is to say, Gu An deliberately avoided all the axes.

The people of the Law Enforcement Hall responded to her with a smile: "Yes, he might have known early on that your axes had problems, and knew that you would become the person to take the blame for Qianchen Peak.

And he was one of them."

Bai Qing was released.

She was still somewhat shocked.

That senior brother who initially came here to log wood...

Turned out to have...

Killed so many people and plunged the entire Sect into an anti-corruption storm.

The plans of the people of Qianchen Peak were completely ruined.

Early May.

The Law Enforcement Hall stopped arresting people and began to send them to Exile Land; some would be allowed to return.

Mid-May.

Various positions within Qianchen Peak began to restart.

Early June.

Other peaks were also gradually returning to normal.

Mid-June.

All positions within Qianchen Peak were restored, and the logging yard was opened; all axes were inspected once more.

The night logging yard also resumed.

The sealed square for preaching the True Dao was also reopened.

New rules were published.

A lecture by a senior once a month.

Free clarifications in the communal square every three days.

Clarification rooms open at any time, with a fixed charge of Spirit Stones.

Regardless of the situation, all questions were answered.

When Gu An knew about these, he was not surprised.

"It’s just a new round of wealth collection, but somewhat friendlier towards the subordinates," Chu Meng chuckled. "However, the people behind the scenes have changed somewhat, that bitch has interfered, along with other Heavenly Prides, they certainly wouldn’t do anything that doesn’t bring them benefits.

How long the new order can last, who knows, but this whole turmoil has been beneficial to those with average cultivation.

However, since you’ve cut off the benefits at the top, you have been specifically targeted."

Gu An grew quite nervous, as it was finally his turn to be judged.

"What will be my fate?" he asked.

"Some think it’s not good to keep you alive, not because you’re powerful, but because someone like you alive makes others feel disgusted," Chu Meng looked at Gu An seriously and said,

"In short, many people want you dead. But that bitch has received enough benefits.

She will fight for a slim chance of survival for you.

Staying alive definitely won’t be a problem, and there’s a high probability you won’t have to go to Exile Land."

"Not going to Exile Land?" Gu An was somewhat surprised.

In fact, he wanted to go to Exile Land.

After all, people in Exile Land were unable to use their full strengths.

When other people’s cultivations declined there, he could still rise in power.

Thus, even if someone wanted to make a move against him, it wouldn’t matter. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

After all, they would not be his match.

But not going to Exile Land would mean that if any powerful individual came along, he would be doomed without a place for his remains.

Even if they didn’t want to attract the attention of the Law Enforcement Hall, just sending him out on a task would guarantee his death.

So, going to Exile Land had its advantages.

"Senior, perhaps I should still go to Exile Land?" Gu An suggested.

Hearing this, Chu Meng was startled: "You weren’t afraid when you were killing people, now you know fear? But do you really think Exile Land is safe?

Recently, a lot of people have gone in, and fundamentally, it’s you who sent them there.

There are no rules inside, you sure you won’t die if you go in?"

Gu An was speechless for a moment.

Indeed, as long as he wasn’t with higher realm people, he would actually be quite safe.

But he couldn’t claim that his Spiritual Energy wouldn’t burn out.

For a moment, he was also quite troubled.

Fortunately, from what he could see, he wouldn’t die directly.
