After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 163: Defecting Is Extremely Dangerous

Listening to what Chu Meng said, Gu An knew he could survive and leave this time.

But returning to the Sect would definitely mean facing adversaries on all sides.

Under such circumstances, how long could he live?

Or perhaps, the Law Enforcement Hall needed him to leave, and then to die at the hands of those people.

That would be considered an explanation.

After all, everything requires an origin—someone to account for it.

And this time the Sect’s affairs had caused a huge uproar; someone must take the blame for everything.

Even if they merely played a part in starting the fire.

As long as they’re involved, that’s enough.

And as the source, becoming the explanation for those with significant losses is inevitable.

He is, without a doubt, the top choice.

Do they have to be at odds with him?

Not really, but even if he dies, their losses won’t be recovered.

So it’s considered a process; it makes things look better.

Everyone gets a way out.

He brings about the reckoning, and after the reckoning, he will be dealt with.

"You can forget about the Exile Land. Given your crimes, even that wouldn’t be sufficient," said Chu Meng.

"I should have some merits, right?" Gu An said.

"Merits? You still think you can leave after killing so many fellow disciples? Enough to justify your death many times over," responded Chu Meng with irritation.

Gu An fell silent.

Killing people with his own hands would indeed incur punishment.

If it weren’t for the executioner’s sword of the Law Enforcement Hall.

It would generally be a death sentence.

"The final judgment hasn’t come down yet, but it’s very likely they’ll send you back to Qianchen Peak," said Chu Meng.

"Back to Qianchen Peak?" Gu An frowned; this was not good news:

"What’s the difference between that and sending me to my death?"

"Anyway, that vile person used some means; currently, no one dares to openly make a move, but that vile person is now particularly rampant and ferocious. Others don’t want to offend her.

For someone just a Golden Core like you, they won’t kill you outright.

They’ll do it in secret," said Chu Meng with some emotion: "Now for sure, someone suspects you’re working for someone.

That vile person will also send her people to contact you.

But you mustn’t agree.

It’s best if you pretend to be naive.

Survive these few years."

"And then it’ll be fine?" asked Gu An.

Chu Meng shook her head: "After a few years, those holding grudges might think that vile person will not care anymore; then they can openly take you out.

To cut off someone’s fortune is like killing their parents.

Of course, for some people, it doesn’t matter how they switch subordinates as long as they’re of use.

Not everyone wants to kill you; after all, settling scores is settling scores, right?"

Chu Meng smiled meaningfully.

Gu An was stunned for a moment, then he understood.

The scores were still settled.

It’s just that some people did not come forward.

Whether these people come forward or not is not important to some higher-ups.

Moreover, people from other peaks might even thank him.

For bringing in this executioner’s sword.

"So some people died directly; do you have to ask what those who died have done?" Chu Meng said while eating peanuts: "This is the higher value of a dead man; therefore, they died.

As a person, your death is not of the highest value, so that vile person succeeded.

In any case, after you get out, it will be very dangerous, but you’d better not join any faction. Reject anyone who tries to recruit you.

How long you can survive will depend on yourself."

Gu An sighed inwardly; leaving this time, it felt like enemies would be everywhere.

If he continues to act rashly, would it be nearly impossible to find a path to survival?

Should he hold back?

Or try to escape the Sect?

"Just a reminder, you’d better not defect at this moment," Chu Meng said sternly: "In the Sect, all those agreements can be directly torn up; if you defect, then truly no one will have any scruples.

Where can you flee to?"

With the pace of Law Enforcement Hall, you’ll be killed in a matter of days.

But you shouldn’t worry too much, if it were someone else they might indeed be waiting for death.

But you are different, you have a backer, and you have me.

That wretch’s strength and status are by no means inferior."

"Can they compare to the Peak Master of Qianchen Peak?" Gu An asked.

Chu Meng smiled and said, "The Peak Master of Qianchen Peak basically doesn’t manage affairs, and even if all his subordinates are gone it won’t affect his foundation.

Do you understand? There are plenty of subordinates to be had, they just take some time to replace.

After all, Golden Cores also need some cultivating.

But to the Peak Master, these people are not as important as you think."

Are Golden Cores so undervalued?

Is Cangmu Sect really so formidable?

He only knew that Cangmu Sect was the strongest sect nearby, but he thought it was just a power in some corner.

"What’s with that look? How long have you been in the sect, have you seen those famous geniuses? They are all mediocre."

"Are you the same, senior?" Gu An retorted.

Hearing this, Chu Meng raised her eyebrows: "Can you even make conversation? With your manner, even if you go to the attic to find Immortal, you’d be rejected.

Anyway, figure it out yourself, I’m leaving.

In order to interact with you, I also have to deal with others, to disguise my intentions.

I’ve left food for you to eat.

Behave when you go out. I haven’t slept well for several nights for your sake, my charm has decreased.

From sinking fish and falling geese to a beauty that shames the moon."

Gu An: "..."

You’re really self-absorbed.

But still, he ate the food that Chu Meng had given and began to ponder.

He couldn’t understand the sect’s higher-ups, but that woman seemed very formidable.

Only, it was a bit strange.

He must have offended many people.

Is that woman really willing to go to such lengths to keep him safe?

Or is it because of Chu Meng?

It’s obvious that Chu Meng has a very high status.

And then there’s the poison.

Could it really be that the woman thinks he will definitely become a great success later on and gave him a very precious poison?

Gu An pondered as he ate.

If not, could his own poison increase on its own?

He hadn’t eaten anything...

Thinking of this, Gu An looked at the food Chu Meng had given.

"This wouldn’t be poisoned, would it?"

He hesitated but then felt it was impossible.

If it were poisoned, the Ring of Destiny would have given feedback long ago.

After all, he had eaten it many times before.

Moreover, his own strength was decent now, and he would be able to detect the poison.

But still, he was curious.

Afterward, he packed some of the food intending to take it back for Noodles to eat.

To see if it would be unwell.

At the end of June.

Gu An had been in the prison for another half month.

Four months had passed since he came in.

The Outer Sect had already recruited for the Inner Sect once.

On this day, the prison door finally opened.

The visitor was a young man.

Dressed in grey-white attire, the sight of him made one’s heart tremble.

This was the attire of Law Enforcement Hall.

Upon encountering these people, everyone would get nervous.

"Junior Brother, we meet again." Dugu Jing looked at Gu An and smiled.

Gu An recognized him, it was he who had sent him to Exile Land initially.

"Senior Brother has seen me in a sorry state." Gu An got up and performed the greeting ritual.

"This matter is quite serious, but Junior Brother has also played the role of a hero in purging the sect, so we will not pursue your case any further," Dugu Jing said with a smile.

Gu An understood the meaning, the Law Enforcement Hall would not pursue it, but whether the other Peaks would pursue it or not, that remained to be seen.
