After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In
Chapter 388 - 281: They’re Not Giving the Royal Family Any Respect (Part 2)

Chapter 388: Chapter 281: They’re Not Giving the Royal Family Any Respect (Part 2)

Gu An had already been known to have arrived.

He did not care but instead met with people from Cangmu Sect.

There were three people.

Three Primordial Spirits.

A muscular middle-aged man, a young Immortal, and a slightly disheveled young man.

The middle-aged man, named Shi Ke, belonged to the Right Front Courtyard and was in charge of setting up the Academy, with Late-stage Primordial Spirit cultivation.

The young Immortal, named Shi Wanyi, was dispatched by the Main Court to mediate, communicate with other Sects, and had Early-stage Primordial Spirit cultivation.

The slightly disheveled young man, named Jie Sanlu, from the Right Courtyard, was responsible for planning the arrangement and details of setting up, with Early-stage Primordial Spirit cultivation.

Gu An looked at the three people and respectfully saluted: "Greetings to the three seniors."

From the perspective of cultivation, all three were people he needed to respect.

They also held higher positions than him.

Without the support of the Merit List and the Six Courtyard Managers, he was far inferior.

Especially since his own cultivation was only at the Golden Core Middle Stage.

Of course, precisely because he was the leader of the First Institute, even if his cultivation was just Golden Core, the people he led were incomparable to these individuals.

At this moment, the three looked at Gu An and then at the two people behind him.

Shi Ke questioned with some doubt: "Are you the main person responsible for this mediation?"

"Yes," Gu An nodded politely, "So I hope the three seniors can cooperate."

"What is your position? And what is your cultivation level?" Shi Wanyi from the Main Court asked.

"I’m the leader of the Second Team of the Rear Courtyard, Golden Core Middle Stage," Gu An responded truthfully.

Jie Sanlu from the Right Courtyard frowned: "The leader of the Second Rear Team? Golden Core Middle Stage? Isn’t this a joke? Why did the Main Court send you here? The others will surely take even more liberties now."

Before Gu An could respond, a voice came from outside.

"Fan He from Heavenly Yang Sect has heard that the head of Cangmu Sect arrived, hoping to meet and communicate," a deep voice sounded.

Primordial Spirit Perfection.

Very strong.

It seemed not uncommon for a Returning to Void Expert to be here.

This gave Gu An a headache.

"They are here," Shi Ke and the others looked ready for a confrontation.

Gu An was not surprised, and instead said: "Let them in."

Zhang San silently put on a mask and said, "The three of you, please come in."

Soon, three people arrived at the door.

All of them looked to be quite young.

Leading them was a man, flanked by two women.

A hint of mockery flickered in their eyes.

"Who is in charge?" Fan He asked.

Gu An stood in the center, facing them and said, "It’s me."

"Golden Core?" Fan He was stunned for a moment, then angrily said: "What? Does Cangmu Sect think it is invincible, completely disregarding other Sects and the Royal Family?

Sending a Golden Core here?

Is this your way of mocking us?"

Gu An sighed in his heart; having weaker cultivation indeed was troublesome.

He should have concealed his cultivation level when coming here.

It would have been better for everyone.

"Just a Golden Core, you have no idea who you are facing," Fan He’s voice fell as he burst out with his Qi: "Kneel!"

In an instant, a tremendous Qi erupted, making everyone feel suffocated.

Shi Ke and the others seemed a bit afraid, apparently having endured such pressure before.

Gu An sighed in his heart and said, "Please let this senior brother calm down."

As the voice dropped, Zhang San stepped forward, came directly in front of Fan He, and then swung his hand.

Slap!

A crisp slap sound echoed.

The terrifying pressure instantly vanished, and Fan He stumbled back three steps, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

He looked somewhat shocked at the masked person.

Then anger followed.

But before he could speak, his opponent approached him again, grabbing Fan He by the neck.

In an instant, the Qi belonging to Fan He began to wane, his vitality dispersing.

Terror, fear, and trepidation.

Unable to breathe.

Fan He trembled all over, wanting to beg for mercy but unable to speak.

The two Immortals beside him finally reacted and were about to make a move.

But a terrifying fear arose in their hearts, and an overwhelming power crushed down on them.

Boom!

Both were directly suppressed by the force and knelt on the ground.

Crack!

Their kneecaps shattered on the spot.

Fan He was even lifted up, like picking up a corpse.

"Enough," Gu An slowly spoke.

He felt that if it continued, Zhang San truly would kill someone.

He came here to solve problems, not to kill.

Less one person, always means fewer clues.

Upon hearing that, Zhang San hesitated for a moment, but eventually dropped the person to the ground.

After that, he stepped back behind Gu An.

Gu An glanced at Zhang San and felt that he was not very obedient, but still somewhat useful.

He didn’t fuss over it.

After all, the other party was neither his subordinate nor his servant.

Then it would be problematic if he were too obedient.

He tried to keep Chen Changfeng from doing anything; later, he could say he was useless and expel him.

At that moment, the room fell into a strange silence.

Once Zhang San made a move, all others with intentions restrained their thoughts.

A Late-stage Primordial Spirit was almost pinched to death.

"You, Cangmu Sect are really something, bullying us like this," Fan He, regaining his composure, said to Gu An through gritted teeth.

But just as he finished speaking, a figure appeared in front of him.

Slap!

Slap, slap!

Chen Changfeng slapped the man twice, then kicked him away, saying, "Is that how you speak to our Academical Manager?"

Gu An: "..."

Are you acting too much?

His original intention was to handle things peacefully, but these people didn’t seem to want to talk peacefully.

"Senior, what is the main reason for your visit this time? Besides, I am the main person in charge sent by Cangmu Sect this time.

I wonder if you have any complaints?" Gu An asked calmly.

Fan He watched Gu An warily and finally said, "I just want to tell you that there isn’t much time left.

If you can’t provide an answer this month, then don’t blame us for being ruthless.

Your sect will definitely have to provide an explanation at that time; the theft happened here.

Besides your Cangmu Sect, there was no one else."

Gu An nodded slightly, then said, "There’s still half a month left, so there’s no need for the senior to worry. Also, I just lost three thousand Spirit Stones, did senior perhaps find them?"

"What do you mean?" Fan He was somewhat astonished.

"Zhang San, can you ask for me?" Gu An looked at the person beside him.

Zhang San was somewhat astonished, but still stepped forward.

Seeing this, Fan He, terrified, immediately said, "Found, found them."

Eventually, the three people handed over three thousand Spirit Stones.

That’s how they left with their injuries.

Storing the Spirit Stones, Gu An turned to Shi Ke and the others, saying, "Sorry for startling the three senior brothers and sisters."

The three sighed in relief internally; just a moment ago, they thought this person was going to ask if they picked up Spirit Stones.

If they were asked, how should they respond?

If it’s just a Golden Core, they naturally wouldn’t care.

But Zhang San...

A Returning to Void Expert.

That was frightening.

They never thought that a Returning to Void would listen so obediently to another.

Could this person have a significant background?

Although they occasionally heard Gu An’s name, they didn’t really take it to heart.

After all, a Golden Core, looking so old.

Either he made it through time accumulation, or he was promoted at the last moment through some opportunity.

Having the opportunity and status had nothing to do with them.

It wouldn’t pose any threat to their future.

So they paid less attention.

But unexpectedly, it was this person who came, bringing a Returning to Void along.

"Please explain the specific situation and also inform me of all their suspects," Gu An spoke: "I hope the three seniors understand, if I can’t handle this well, it’s bad for everyone.

If the sect blames us, no one can escape.

The priority is to solve the issue here first."

"We’ll prepare, and tonight it will be handed to the junior brother," Shi Ke said.

Hearing this, Gu An didn’t say anything further.

Afterward, he rested at the place they arranged.

In the room, Gu An looked at Zhang San and asked, "Do you have a feud with that man?"

"No," Zhang San removed his mask, "I just think that as the Academical Manager is from the Demon Sect, my actions should lean towards the Demon Sect."

Gu An looked at the person before him but did not inquire further, instead saying, "Go and investigate the situation here, and also check on the people from Cangmu Sect."

"Just let us go out to investigate like this?" Zhang San was somewhat astonished. "The manager really doesn’t treat us as outsiders."

Gu An did not say much more.

After they left, Gu An took out Drawing a Prison and began to study.

He felt he was about to master it.

Such a task was not so easy to handle.

Whether it was truly taken by someone from Cangmu Sect or not, there were many complications.

He did not plan to investigate it bit by bit.

After so long, how could it be possible to find anything out?

He knew his own abilities.

So, it was still better to improve his cultivation.

One force breaks all methods.

Now he needed to know the specific situation.

It would be best to understand the strengths.

If the strongest was only Early Stage of Returning to Void, it would be easy to handle.

If not, then it would be quite troublesome.
