After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 204 - 193: Big Bro, I Am Guilty_2
Chapter 204: Chapter 193: Big Bro, I Am Guilty_2
"Really looking down on people,"
With that, Gu An checked once again.
After confirming no one was around, he set up some talismans and began meditating to enhance his Qi Sea Sky Gang.
Against a formidable opponent like Luo Yutong, enhancing other magic wasn’t very meaningful.
So, it was better to first enhance Qi Sea Sky Gang and then advance to the Primordial Spirit.
He had been investigating the Longevity Sect recently, but didn’t know when there would be some results.
Enhancing Qi Sea Sky Gang went smoothly.
The other members of the second team were thinking about the task rules, and Gu An didn’t seek them out.
Instead, he went logging.
Nowadays, the Divine Tree couldn’t be cut down, so he had to rely on Blood God Wood or Heart Devouring Wood.
Heart Devouring Wood used to take a month, but now it might take nearly two months.
As the magic improved, the magic values became increasingly rare.
As night fell.
Gu An was worried Luo Yutong would visit his residence again.
So he put down the axe and headed to the Inner Sect.
He didn’t immediately return to the area of the Divine Tree.
Instead, he sat on the relatively quiet banks of Qianfeng River.
Occasionally he changed positions and then looked at the Qi Breathing Chapter.
Reading more allowed for more understanding; pondering in ordinary times could also save an upgrade.
Furthermore, regardless of how he improved, the specific content needed to be understood.
*Only by thoroughly understanding could it truly become one’s own.*
*Otherwise, merely learning it wouldn’t make it truly personal.*
As time passed, Gu An sensed the Ring of Destiny’s reaction.
*Here it came again.*
As expected, it was still Luo Yutong.
[Yesterday at midnight, Luo Yutong waited for you at your residence for a long time without seeing you. She wanted to seek you but also didn’t know where you were. To find you accurately and quickly, she left tarsal ashes in the house. As soon as you returned, the ashes would stick to you and let her know your whereabouts.
Unless you entered the water, you couldn’t escape her pursuit.
Not seeing you made her increasingly suspect you had a problem. She decided to capture you first and sort things out later.]
Upon seeing this content, Gu An’s pupils constricted.
A nameless chill appeared behind him.
Without daring to hesitate, he took off his clothes and tied them to the Spirit Sword.
Then he used magic to launch the Spirit Sword upstream.
Immediately after, he jumped into Qianfeng River.
Then he collected his Qi and submerged himself in the river mud, hiding.
He dared not move recklessly.
He considered going upstream or downstream with the current.
But who knew if the adversary would come from upstream or downstream?
This was a river; once the adversary found him by the riverside, she would certainly be prepared.
So, he opted not to move and remained quietly waiting.
But he wasn’t sure if the current Qi Breathing Chapter would perfectly evade detection, given the opponent was, after all, a powerful expert above the Golden Core realm.
But since she was seriously injured, Gu An could only take a gamble.
The Vertical Earth Golden Light was ready at all times; if things went awry, he would flee to a crowded area.
As time went by, Gu An could hear his own heartbeat. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Half a "two hours" later.
A figure landed on the river path, carrying a Spirit Sword with clothes tied to it.
"Discovered?" She looked around,
"Hiding in the river?"
Boom!
Suddenly, Gu An sensed a spot beside him explode into a pit.
The river water scattered wildly.
In an instant, his heartbeat raced to his throat.
But he still dared not move.
"Then I’ll flatten this whole area and see." A low voice resonated.
Even in the water, Gu An heard it.
The adversary was being deliberate.
Gu An remained unmoving.
He didn’t believe the adversary could be so unrestrained.
This was still inside the sect; once discovered, she wouldn’t escape.
Yet the rumbling sound came once more.
The aftermath troubled him, further agitating his power.
If it weren’t for the Qi Breathing Chapter, where he had some achievements,
he would have certainly been drawn in by the Qi and thus discovered.
This woman claimed to bombard, but in reality, she was stirring the power within one’s body.
A double hit, both physiologic and psychological.
*Too many tricks up her sleeve.*
*A person who only knows how to make a move could be easily used.*
*One should be wary in the future.*
Moments later, the adversary left.
However, Gu An still dared not emerge.
Sure enough, the adversary returned shortly.
After that, she left again, but Gu An still dared not come out.
Afraid she might return once more.
Until daylight came, the adversary no longer appeared, yet Gu An still didn’t dare emerge.
He decided to wait until noon to come out.
At noon, after confirming someone passed by the surroundings,
only then did Gu An emerge from the water.
Upon emerging, he immediately used magic to dispel the dirt and stains from his body.
Then he donned his clothes and stepped out.
The crisis brought by Luo Yutong was greater than expected.
This time he discovered it, the adversary would act even more cautiously.
He couldn’t guard against everything.
*To be a thief for a thousand days, yet who could defend against a thief for a thousand days?*
He could defend against one day, but absolutely not three or five days.
He was bound to fall into the adversary’s hands.
The Divine Tree, something far beyond his level, was truly dangerous once entangled.
After tidying his attire, Gu An returned to the Law Enforcement Hall.
It was still the same receptionist Immortal.
"Why has Junior Brother come this time?" the receptionist Immortal smiled sweetly as she asked.
"Is Senior Brother Dugu here?" Gu An asked.
"He’s here, I’ll go find him," the receptionist Immortal nodded immediately.
In a moment,
Dugu Jing came out.
The two of them went outside again.
"Why has Junior Brother come?" Dugu Jing inquired.
"Senior Brother, are you still interested in capturing that Demoness from the Demon Path?" Gu An didn’t plead for help.
Asking for help was difficult.
He just wanted to see if the other party was interested in making a contribution.
The same matter, if spoken incorrectly, could put him in a passive position.
Dugu Jing looked at Gu An meaningfully, "She came to find you?"
Gu An nodded, "Yes, recently someone appeared in my courtyard and even left some tricks behind.
It should be her; had I not gone out, I would have met an untimely demise."
"No concrete evidence?" Dugu Jing asked.
Gu An shook his head.
He was a bit worried that if the other party outright refused,
he would be isolated and helpless.
It would be difficult to counterbalance Luo Yutong.
To be kicked when he was down would be a death sentence.
But even amid despair, Gu An was mentally prepared.
On his journey, he did what others dared not and reaped benefits others dared not seek.
In the same position, anyone else might have died in the sect.
Yet he survived.
Thus, offending countless people.
Being a bystander and failing to save him were par for the course.
When it happened, acceptance was necessary.
But his desire to survive wouldn’t wane.
Dugu Jing looked at Gu An and smiled,
"This person is of considerable utility to us. If there’s news, we will certainly capture her. But if two days pass without any discovery, should you return then, we will not take action.
Junior Brother, have you thought it through?"
Gu An understood the opportunity only came once.
But he wasn’t sure if she would come.
However, Dugu Jing mentioned two days.
Tonight at midnight, the Ring of Destiny might still provide feedback.
There was a possibility of finding out her whereabouts.
With that, Gu An nodded, "I understand."
"Very well, tonight you can stay at the Outer Peak. If anyone enters, we will take action," Dugu Jing nodded.
Gu An respectfully bowed, "If there’s a discovery, it will all be to Senior Brother’s credit. If not, it’s my fault for reporting false information."
Dugu Jing looked at Gu An without speaking.
Subsequently, Gu An left the Law Enforcement Hall.
He arrived at his residence on Qianchen Peak.
He needed to wait for the Blood Demon Divine Monarch to awaken and inquire if there was any response strategy.
In the afternoon.
As expected, he sensed the Blood Demon Divine Monarch about to awaken.
Soon, Gu An heard sobbing.
"Big Brother, our Divine Tree has been cut down beyond recognition," the Blood Demon Divine Monarch wailed.
Gu An nodded, "I know, I cut it."
Hearing this, the Blood Demon Divine Monarch paused, then calmed down.
As Gu An pondered how to speak, the Blood Demon Divine Monarch started in a low voice, "Big Brother, I have sinned. I deceived you. I left a trick in the sealing and intended for you to cultivate the Blood Transformation Method to restore myself.
I also taught you an unlearnable Sealing Technique; it couldn’t truly be mastered, and even if learned, would remain basic and never reach Great Success.
I was wrong; I secretly cursed you, Big Brother, and even thought of becoming the Big Brother one day.
I was wrong, and I dare not anymore. I will follow you wholeheartedly, never harboring a second thought."
Gu An listened to these words with an unperturbed heart.
*Perhaps it was because he no longer cared about the other’s intentions.*
As for the Sealing Technique, he learned it.
It was indeed a good find.
Even the Blood Evil Great Movement was a fairly decent technique.
It could draw upon human blood, not as bad as it seemed.
Of course, the most crucial point was that he was constantly at risk of his life.
*There was no mood to care about these things; he needed to devise a plan.*
As he noticed the sky losing its brightness, Gu An straightforwardly asked, "If someone a whole realm higher than myself were targeting me, how should I cope?"
******
*Found there were only a few monthly tickets needed to reach the top five hundred.*
*So I casually request for monthly tickets, just to squeeze into the top five hundred.*
Thank you.
