After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In
Chapter 381 - 278: Poison Pill Shattered

Chapter 381: Chapter 278: Poison Pill Shattered

Main Peak Hall.

The woman in the off-white immortal dress slowly descended, with a compassionate look on her face. She softly sighed, "I’ve deceived all those people outside like this. If they knew they were being tricked by me, how distressed they must be.

After all, the Fire Phoenix Clan has not left; it is I who have blinded their eyes."

"Shed a few tears; it makes the pity seem more genuine," Yan Ruxue said with a smile on the side.

Qu Youdao propped up the high chair that had toppled over once again and sat down, saying:

"Fortunately, we were well prepared. I was wondering how to lure people in, but they came so actively, which made things much easier for us.

And it’ll be easier to explain to the Sect Master.

We’ve let the people go, and we haven’t suppressed the various Sects.

It’s best to live in harmony, not make enemies of others.

After all, we were the side that conceded."

"The Sect Master must know what’s happening here, right?" Situ Baichuan asked.

"The Sect Master has not been managing affairs for a while now. As long as we value harmony and do not provoke strife, it should be fine.

Besides, if there were a big issue, he would definitely react.

Right now there’s no reaction; either he trusts us, or the situation isn’t too serious," Qu Youdao said with a smile.

They dare not make any big moves, but small manoeuvres, they can still try.

For example, annihilating all the surrounding Sects would be too bold a move.

Or fighting to the death with the surrounding Sects would also be a massive undertaking.

But being attacked and defeated, or giving and taking, that’s called harmonious coexistence, valuing peace.

The Fire Phoenix Clan, everyone saw that they left.

That’s definitely being peace-loving, not making enemies of others.

In short, the policy is still aligned with the Sect Master’s philosophy.

They have done nothing wrong.

"Nine people in total, two died, it seems there were only three Fire Phoenixes, one old and two young, the remaining four were all servants," Yan Ruxue said, looking at the people in the hall.

At this moment, the old crone was looking at the four people, having recovered from her initial shock.

"Since you know we are from the Fire Phoenix Clan, you should understand the consequences of offending us.

No one has ever humiliated our clan like this," the old crone said coldly.

Qu Youdao looked at the old crone with some astonishment: "This Divine Beast doesn’t seem very intelligent, why does a prisoner under the steps speak so boldly to us?

Indeed, it’s because our Sect does not have much reputation."

"Is this gatekeeper doing their job or not?" Situ Baichuan frowned, "Or shall we slaughter it, as an extra dish for the Sect Master? Fire Phoenix, he has definitely never had it. Once he eats it, he won’t be able to escape if there’s a problem."

"It’s old, the meat must be tough," Yan Ruxue said seriously.

"Jerky works too," Situ Baichuan said.

One by one, these people had a say, and the old crone was furious.

She wanted to make it clear to them what her status was and the noble lineage she carried.

Not until she saw the blade land on her neck,

did she realize a knife was cutting through her neck to bleed her.

She reverted to her original form and then heard them discussing bleeding her first before eating.

At that moment, she felt like a chicken being casually slaughtered by someone.

"I submit, I will be a gatekeeper, I can be a gatekeeper," the old crone cried out in horror.

"Hmm?" Qu Youdao somewhat disappointedly looked at the other two younger ones: "Do you want to shout out that ’A warrior may be killed but not humiliated’?"

Both young ones expressed they were also willing to be gatekeepers.

The four people in the hall: "...."

Finally, they looked at the one that was already dead, who had also reverted to its original form.

"That one, then, let’s feed it to the Sect Master," Yan Ruxue said seriously.

The compassionate Immortal shed a tear: "The Sect Master is so pitiful, to only be able to eat what’s not fresh."

The old crone and the others found it hard to comprehend, how could such savages exist in such a remote place?

...

Back at his residence.

Gu An was still somewhat concerned.

He could not understand why people from the Fire Phoenix Clan would come, then seemingly got ambushed, and then left.

They didn’t take their belongings?

At least taking the Spiritual Egg with them would have made sense.

Such abrupt actions must indicate a problem.

But what the problem was, he couldn’t figure out.

It all depends on who can get close to those at the top; that way, some information might be revealed.

At the moment, it seems only Chu Meng might have some answers.

After all, her superiors are quite powerful, and her own status far exceeds that of ordinary people.

Plus, her inscrutable cultivation.

Twenty-five years old?

How could someone of such an age possess such terrifying cultivation?

Even with a flawless talent, it couldn’t be this quick.

Perhaps there are other opportunities.

Like his own, for instance.

Of course, it’s also possible she’s lying about her age.

After that, Gu An waited another three days.

Of course, he spent these three days logging.

Doing his best to improve himself.

Now his Qi Sea Sky Gang reached the Eighth Layer.

Just one more layer to go.

As long as he advances, then he can see what will happen at the Ninth Layer.

In addition, he could advance to Returning to Void.

Who of those in the Outer Peak could be his match with Returning to Void Cultivation?

It could be said, as long as he avoids direct disciples and senior Sect predecessors,

there would basically be no more mortal danger for him.

The rest are just some self-satisfied fellow sect members who believe they’re at the Golden Core Middle Stage.

Even if they cause him trouble, it won’t lead to major issues.

After all, these people will eventually shed their prejudices against him.

Trouble is troublesome, but what’s valuable is stability.

Furthermore, it’s about the people of the Second Team and the First Institute.

These people need to improve their strength.

And Shu Ci’s identity also poses a hidden danger.

Gu An sighed, and then he didn’t think any further.

So far, the main thing was to improve himself.

Although the Fire Phoenix Clan left without explanation, it was still a good thing in the end.

After all, he now had more time.

At the beginning of March.

Those Sects outside finally began to retreat.
