After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 222 - 202: Too Short-Sighted (Part 2)
Chapter 222: Chapter 202: Too Short-Sighted (Part 2)
But these three people, I hope to meet them within the next five years.
My request isn’t too excessive, is it?"
Gu An remained silent.
The request doesn’t seem excessive, but is it worth it?
All this stuff, I only need a knife and a cultivation technique.
All Living Beings isn’t very useful.
Because that woman wants it, keeping it with me will sooner or later be discovered.
It will only bring trouble.
Handing it over could get a token fragment or some cultivation technique elixir pills.
Overall, the value is decent.
But...
I need to see if the other party harbors malicious intentions.
Wait, wait until midnight.
"I need to think about it," Gu An said.
After that, he dispersed Little Blood.
Thus, Gu An sat under the moonlight, falling silent.
Seemingly pondering, but in reality, just waiting for time.
Zuo Youyan is not in a hurry.
Once midnight has passed.
Gu An then received feedback from the Ring of Destiny.
[Last night, Zuo Youyan discovered you, felt you were not the person he was waiting for, didn’t detect the desire he needed from you. Only those with desire can wield All Living Beings, and only by integrating with All Living Beings does he have the chance to seize the body.
Still, he introduced you to everything. Indeed, when introducing All Living Beings you appeared indifferent.
No trace of greed, even a sense of caution.
You’re not his best gift recipient, but you might be the best trade partner.
He decided to trade with you, to see if you’re greedy for seizing the body.
If you’re greedy and keep using All Living Beings, indulging in it, you will not escape your fate.
If you care not for All Living Beings, then that is his destined outcome.]
Seeing the feedback from the Ring of Destiny, Gu An was a bit surprised.
The other party did have a purpose, but that purpose was focused on All Living Beings.
So as long as I don’t want that thing, I won’t be in danger.
And to use the other’s identity for killing people, it seems I must use All Living Beings.
From this perspective, as soon as I agree, the benefits will be compromised.
But I can’t take all the good for myself; with the Innate Longevity Technique, life will be much more convenient.
As for that knife, there should be ten thousand spirit stones, right?
It should not just be any ordinary magic treasure.
Thus, ten thousand spirit stones plus a Primordial Spirit Technique.
That’s not a bad deal.
And it also completes the mission.
The gains are more substantial.
Killing is entirely up to me, what the other party values most are those three people.
So it seems, this trade can be done.
Opening his eyes, Gu An contacted the other party.
"Have you made up your mind?" a voice came from the tree.
"If I agree, are there any restrictions on killing and meeting people?" Gu An asked.
"Yes, there are." Zuo Youyan said with a smile, "Chasing Sun will come with my seal; once the three people are met, the seal will fade by eighty percent.
They need to give a drop of blood.
The five people need the blood from their hearts; they take up twenty percent.
But I must remind you, I can’t control Chasing Sun, can’t refine it.
This seal is just something I’ve applied.
What you can achieve depends on yourself; if you can refine it, my seal will be as if nonexistent.
It won’t be too hard on you."
Gu An thought for a moment and then said, "Give me the information on those people, the story between you, and what you want to do."
Hearing this, Zuo Youyan asked, "What about All Living Beings? How do you intend to deal with it?"
"Many want it; sell it for spirit stones," Gu An replied truthfully.
Upon hearing this, Zuo Youyan laughed and said, "Truly unfathomable. Then you can only not use All Living Beings to impersonate me. It’s very dangerous."
"That is my concern," Gu An said indifferently.
"Fine, I’ll integrate into All Living Beings. Whether you use it or not is up to you. I’ll pull out the knife for you, and I’ve already written down the cultivation technique for you.
Lastly...
I wish you good luck and hope to fulfill my last wish," Zuo Youyan sighed.
"Don’t I need to swear or anything?" Gu An asked.
"No need," Zuo Youyan said with a laugh, "You’re different from the others I know. This time I’ll trust my own judgment."
With that, the other party broke contact.
Gu An used magic to check.
He only saw the other party putting on the mask, finally being absorbed by the mask.
Becoming a part of All Living Beings.
Thus, Zuo Youyan’s Qi dispersed.
But the Qi on the Vajra Wood was still there.
Damn, the other party died too quickly, I forgot to ask about this.
Gu An got a headache.
Looks like a trip down is needed.
Early morning.
On the other side.
A middle-aged man was flying on a sword with a young man.
"Master, is the news from Outer Peak true or false? A Golden Core Early Stage dared to kill like this?" the young man asked curiously.
"Is it important?" the middle-aged man said with a smile:
"They think we need an explanation, so any suspicious person will do.
That’s why the news about Gu An was sent to us; moreover, they didn’t mention the reason, it’s just a result, casually mentioned.
Where’s the evidence?"
"Why is that?" the youth asked, puzzled.
"Because this is the person they want to kill, and it just so happens they think we also need an answer, an explanation, so the person was pushed out just like that," the middle-aged man said with a smile.
"Then why are we still going?" the youth asked, puzzled.
"They can send someone to us, can’t we send someone from the Outer Peak into that person’s hands?" the middle-aged man said with a gentle smile:
"It doesn’t really matter whether he was the killer or not. It would be best if he was; if not, it doesn’t matter either.
Those two had been acting outrageously and deserved to die a long time ago.
No one will seek an explanation for the death of insignificant people.
What everyone wants are benefits.
So, in the future, when you go out, whether your teacher is with you or not, you must be humble, neither servile nor overbearing.
Show respect, and the weak will admire you, and the strong will spare you. fгeewebnovёl.com
Understand?" the middle-aged man said, looking at his disciple.
"The disciple understands," the youth nodded firmly.
After that, the middle-aged man continued, "We should still meet this second team leader.
He is worth our efforts to get him on our side.
It would be even better if he was the killer.
What we lack now is understanding of the opponent."
"He is from the Outer Peak; we merely transact with him, and Master you do not take care of these matters," the youth said, not understanding.
"Because there might be a New Secret Realm emerging in Cangmu Sect soon, and they are likely to invite other Sects to join.
Of course, other Sects will also try to sneak in," the middle-aged man said.
"But people from the Outer Peak may not go."
"But he has the news."
"So does the person who sent me the news."
"Such short-sightedness; they take us all for fools. It’s better to have as little to do with such people. Of course, continuing in ignorance, their lives will be quite long since no one likes to catch smart people."
The youth nodded as if he understood, fumbling with the notion.
Meanwhile.
Gu An arrived in the cave.
He looked left and right, and indeed there was no excess Qi.
Soon.
He saw the spot, where three books were placed.
With a flick of his hand, the books landed in Gu An’s hand.
Upon seeing them, it was the "Innate Longevity Technique" and the "Ancient Burning Sky Technique," as well as the records of those eight people, and the life story of Zuo Youyan.
He first looked at the Innate Longevity Technique; it seemed genuine.
He did not look at the latter.
Afraid of being tempted, and disturbing the peace of mind.
Who knows whether the current self can withstand the attraction.
Look at it after getting back.
As for the matters concerning Zuo Youyan, he’d find out later.
With that, Gu An went to the back.
Indeed, he saw a rusty knife and a pitch-black mask.
The mask had a certain blood-red tint, which seemed rather demonic.
Gu An first drew the sword.
The hilt was carved with complex cloud patterns, simple and elegant, exuding a stable temperament.
The blade had a slight curve, showing a pitch-black luster, even with rust marks, it absorbed the light around it.
There was a sense of heaviness from the abyss.
After weighing it, he then swung the sword.
"Feels good."
Soon after, Qi Sea Sky Gang was added to it.
Pingqiu First Style, Wind Rises.
Boom!
A long sword mark slashed across the ground.
"Harder than the previous one for nine hundred Spirit Stones."
That was good enough.
After searching around, Gu An saw the sheath.
With a wave, he got the sheath in his hand.
Clang!
Chasing Sun returned to its sheath.
He looked at the overall piece, which was quite presentable.
After putting away the sword, Gu An then turned his attention to the mask.
This mask was extremely demonic, and he dared not touch it.
He activated Age Cycle Twelve Stars directly.
She Ti Ge.
Stars appeared, enveloping the mask.
Finally, returning to the surrounding Twelve Star positions.
Disappearing from sight.
With that.
Gu An also heaved a sigh of relief.
Now it was time to look for the source of the Qi.
After searching around, Gu An saw a tree in a cave at the side.
The tree was crimson with a third of demonic aura; the Qi was spreading out from it.
What a fine tree.
