After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In

Chapter 378: Chapter 276: The Cold Sets In—Time to Annihilate the Cangmu Sect (Part 2)

All personnel on external tasks were recalled.

At once, the Sects that had previously besieged us were emboldened and began a full-scale suppression.

They even demanded from Cangmu Sect the Daoist Scripture and the Spiritual Egg, as well as the Night Barrier, and sought to pacify the wrath of the populace with various Divine Artifacts.

The Cangmu Demon Sect’s wicked deeds and indiscriminate killing made them a target for all.

Without an explanation, there would be no peaceful resolution.

This time, Cangmu Sect responded, saying they never intended to be enemies with the others.

They agreed to let others examine the Nirvana Dao Scripture; just offer one Divine Artifact for a glimpse.

Hearing this, the members of Heavenly Yang Sect and others were furious.

Not only did they refuse to give anything, but they also wanted a Divine Artifact?

Truly the ways of a Demon Sect.

Another great battle erupted, and once again, Cangmu Sect was in retreat.

Moreover, Qingmu City at the base of the mountain was significantly impacted.

Everyone was afraid to venture out.

In late November.

Gu An achieved another breakthrough in Qi Sea Sky Gang.

He is now at the seventh layer of Qi Sea Sky Gang.

Only the final two layers remain.

He needs three more months.

But time might be running short, as today Hua Jiyang sent a letter.

The Fire Phoenix Clan has arrived.

At Heavenly Suspension Peak, guided by a Paperman, Gu An was located once more.

At that moment, Gu An was holding Hua Jiyang’s envelope.

The content was ordinary enough.

It mentioned hearing about his acquisition of the Nirvana Dao Scripture, and that he had an abundance of capable subordinates; he also casually investigated Chen Changfeng.

It said that Chen’s family elders acknowledged his talent, but to prevent him from overtaking a relative’s son, they purposefully suppressed him.

They even considered destroying him.

Vaguely, they might have wanted to use Puppet Techniques on him.

Chen Changfeng is a man who remembers favors as well as grievances.

Furthermore, Hua Jiyang said he also looked into the person behind Chu Meng.

He learned that this person rose to power not long ago but had already startled the Peak Masters.

She had a hand in several Sect reforms, and though she had weak foundations, she now controls quite a bit of power.

The Twelve True Inheritors are not to be trifled with easily.

Besides this, Hua Jiyang also sent a talisman.

The Thousand-mile Wishful Talisman.

The destination is near the Sect where he is undercover.

If the Sect gives up on him, he should use the talisman immediately.

Once used, an Array will rapidly transport him away.

Followed by covering his Qi and Heavenly Mechanism, and finally to rendezvous with him.

It should take about seven days.

Once they rendezvous, he’ll be relatively safe.

This is the life-saving method that Hua Jiyang has provided.

In the end, Hua Jiyang also mentioned that if Gu An doesn’t use the talisman, he might try reaching out to the person behind Chu Meng.

Since there has already been a transaction, there’s a chance he could receive that person’s protection.

Of course, if it’s not possible to stay in the Sect, the only option is to flee.

Gu An looked at the last sentence on the letter.

"How about it? Call me ’Senior Brother,’ was it not worth it?"

Naturally, in the end, the person asked for Spirit Stones.

Gu An didn’t know why the other party was so desperate for Spirit Stones.

But now, Gu An had a total of 128,000 Spirit Stones.

He hesitated a bit, then gave 110,000.

Out of these, 9,000 were given by Left Mother, which Gu An meant to keep.

The remaining 9,000 need to be spent.

Handing over the Spirit Stones to the Paperman, Gu An watched it leave.

This time, Hua Jiyang gave him a talisman and a book.

It was naturally the fifth volume of Qi Sea Sky Gang.

He said that keeping it was useless and gave it to Gu An to complete the set.

More would be sent in the future if there’s a continuation.

Putting away the fifth volume of Qi Sea Sky Gang, Gu An focused on the talisman.

He never expected Hua Jiyang would send him such an item.

Thus, he himself now had a certain level of security.

And it would take around six or seven days to rendezvous; even if he wanted to head somewhere else, it wouldn’t be impossible.

The options for escape suddenly multiplied.

As for Chen Changfeng, Gu An didn’t pay much attention.

The man was a genius; Gu An never intended to provoke him, and now that he has learned the analysed Nirvana Dao Scripture, Gu An owed him nothing.

Of course, although Chen Changfeng brought back the items, which caused some trouble, he was just following orders, and so he owed Gu An nothing as well.

But the Fire Phoenix Clan is coming.

Gu An instructed Pang Wen to bring the other party over.

In the afternoon, Gu An saw Chen Changfeng, who had arrived.

The other party was very young, and after cultivating the Nirvana Dao Scripture, his entire temperament changed.

He was bound to be a power to reckon with in the future.

Sitting in his seat, Gu An looked at the somewhat puzzled Chen Changfeng.

"Did the Institute Head ask for me?" Chen Changfeng inquired.

"The Fire Phoenix Clan is coming," Gu An stated truthfully: "They’re coming for the Nirvana Dao Scripture and the Spiritual Egg.

If they come to Cangmu Sect, given that you took the items out, it’s hard to say if you can stay alive.

Therefore, leave.

There’s no need for you to stay here."

Chen Changfeng was somewhat stunned:

"If I leave, wouldn’t that make you the primary person responsible?"

Gu An felt the other party was indeed kindhearted, then calmly said: "I’m from the Demon Sect, no need to follow the rules."

"Will I be safe once I leave?" asked Chen Changfeng.

Gu An shook his head: "Can’t say for sure, but there isn’t an obvious Qi on you, as long as you hide your identity, you should be safe."

This genius still needed to be sent away, just in case he himself could survive this ordeal.

At least it wouldn’t add trouble for himself.

If one day there was another treasure hunting mission, and he went and brought items back again,

it would be a headache.

"I won’t leave." Chen Changfeng refused.

This surprised Gu An.

"The Institute Head should be a smart person. Your Sect is a Demon Sect, and since the Fire Phoenix Clan is coming, they must be aware of it. Surely, they must have thought of various strategies.

If they really needed to hand me over, they would have started restricting me from leaving already, so why would the Institute Head let me go instead?

Thus, I believe Cangmu Sect will not give me up," Chen Changfeng stated with conviction.

Gu An pondered for a moment then said: "What if their reaction is slow, and they haven’t thought of this? Or perhaps they’re unaware of the strength of the Fire Phoenix Clan?"

Chen Changfeng lowered his gaze, then said: "Institute Head, if you can’t bear it, let me bear it."

Gu An fell silent.

Did this person have a problem?

How did it turn out that he seemed ready to sacrifice himself completely for this?

He had no debt of gratitude towards him.

He was just trying not to offend him.

Was there some kind of misunderstanding?

After all, when the last moment came, he intended to escape.

In the end, Chen Changfeng returned to the First Institute, and Gu An could do nothing about it, nor dared to be excessive.

The other party was truly a genius, and any extreme actions could easily create enemies.

In the evening, when Gu An was about to go logging, Shu Ci suddenly came looking for him.

Her attire was now proper and dignified, unlike before.

There were no inappropriate problems either.

"Team Leader, I..." Shu Ci stopped midway.

Gu An looked at her, not saying a word.

Shu Ci paused then said: "Team Leader, are you in the Golden Core Middle Stage?"

"Mhm," Gu An nodded.

"Then you must work hard, Team Leader. I heard that the leaders of other institutes have improved their cultivation," said Shu Ci before she mentioned leaving.

Gu An watched her receding figure, pondered for a moment then slightly shook his head.

She had something to say, but what exactly it was, was unknown.

He didn’t wish to force it out either.

Afterward, Gu An headed to the forest to start logging.

His Qi Sea Sky Gang had reached the seventh layer, and he could try to advance next February or March.

Middle of December.

Atop the central peak of the East Road Ancient State.

An old hag stood at the summit, resembling an invisible fire burning everything in the vicinity.

Behind her was a group of strong individuals, some were from the Fire Phoenix Clan, and others were their servants.

Soon, a man came before the old hag, kneeling on one knee: "Elder, we have found out precise information; the item has been obtained by Cangmu Sect.

Cangmu Sect is located in the west of East Dao Ancient State, within the Ancient Ridge Mountain Range.

It’s a remote second-rank Sect with some strength, but just a bit.

For the past three hundred years, they’ve been trading with other Sects, and their situation has never been good.

Moreover, this Sect has now become a Demon Sect.

They’ve started fighting with other Sects.

Also, the Sects near the west have learned that the items are with Cangmu Sect and are besieging them, trying to snatch the items.

Beyond that, Cangmu Sect has publicly released the first volume of the Nirvana Dao Scripture, allowing Sect Disciples to view and comprehend it at will."

Upon hearing this, the old hag laughed deeply: "Good, very good."

The old hag looked towards the west, with a smile:

"Cangmu Sect is really asking for it. Since they have been so welcoming, there is no need for us to stand on ceremony after coming from afar.

Let’s make a trip, and obliterate Cangmu Sect altogether.

It’s going to snow.

The weather is getting cold, it’s about time for Cangmu Sect to perish."
