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

Chapter 448: Chapter 309: Burning Life, Part 2

"But he’s too weak to protect the principal. It still depends on me. Zhang San has already left, and now I’m the only one left," Chen Changfeng said solemnly.

"Sick in the head." At this moment, a young man at the edge snuggled further inside and continued sleeping, with a dismissive demeanor.

The one who spoke was a Returning to Void Expert who, despite all cooperation, could not leave.

He had been here for quite some time and always felt that some people were not sane.

Chen Changfeng was among the most notable.

...

Soon, Gu An met with Yue Han and the others.

Before they came over, he checked the envelope,

which was used for passing messages.

Although he did not know why a letter was written, he still had to check.

In simple terms, the plan had changed, and the person to marry into the Royal Family couldn’t be found.

But Cangmu Sect indeed seemed like a good place.

They planned to gradually corrode the upper echelons here.

Then turn Cangmu Sect into the Cangmu Sect of the Zhuanlun lineage.

Gu An was quite curious. Were the people from the Zhuanlun lineage very strong?

So much so that they thought they could control Cangmu Sect?

Or was Cangmu Sect actually very weak?

But after pondering for a moment, Gu An thought that since Cangmu Sect dared to fly the Demon Sect’s flag, it probably wasn’t that weak.

Unless the Zhuanlun lineage was too strong.

He took the opportunity to ask the two who had just arrived.

"Is the Zhuanlun lineage strong?" Fairy Qingyao said seriously: "They are quite strong. Their gear Magic Treasure is slightly peculiar; this Magic Treasure can enhance their roots and understanding, increasing their cultivation speed, and not only that, their spiritual power in Magic techniques and attacks are also stronger than common people.

Cangmu Sect is just barely among the Second-rank Sects, if a single elder from the Zhuanlun lineage were to come, they might be able to take over directly."

Gu An was silent for a moment, somewhat incredulous.

Could it be that exaggerated?

One elder could take over Cangmu Sect?

Although it was second-tier, it was still considered a strong Sect.

Don’t look down on the second-tier.

This was also a Major Sect.

"Tell me about your findings," Gu An said, no longer contemplating other matters.

"We can confirm that two people have infiltrated Cangmu Sect, but whether there is a third, we are still uncertain.

We don’t know their purposes, but it may be related to the principal," Yue Han spoke: "We heard that you have killed people from the Zhuanlun lineage."

Gu An handed the envelope to the two of them.

After reading, they were somewhat surprised.

"What are they looking for in a marriage partner?" Yue Han asked.

Gu An said offhandedly: "To penetrate the Royal Family."

Hearing this, they fell silent.

"We’ve already found them," Yue Han looked at Gu An and said: "As a reward, our terms are simple, that is to find the marriage partner."

Gu An pondered for a moment and said: "It’s a bit difficult."

Because of this, not to mention himself, many people were in the dark.

Not a hint of news was known.

He had even asked Dugu Jing when he had the chance.

But there was still no answer.

As you can imagine, the number of people who knew about this matter was very few.

"You can go and ask the Commandery Princess," Gu An suggested.

"That won’t work, I can’t meet her," Yue Han shook her head: "Her status in Cangmu Sect seems to be not low, and I can’t get in touch."

"She is in Cangmu Sect?" Gu An was slightly surprised.

He really did not know about this: "What is her name?"

"It’s useless, the name she uses outside is different from her family name, she ran away from home and changed her name," Yue Han shrugged.

Gu An fell silent, the Commandery Princess ran away from home?

Seemed like she wasn’t very favored.

After thinking a bit more, Gu An asked again: "Cangmu Sect is a Second-rank Sect, then what kind of force would the Royal Family be comparable to in terms of Sects?"

"Beyond first-tier, I’d say, but probably not as strong as Dao Sect, which is far beyond the first-tier and claims to be the number one Sect in East Dao Ancient State," Yue Han stated.

Gu An was quite emotional, not expecting the Royal Family to be that formidable.

"What about the Fire Phoenix Clan?" Gu An asked.

"Their top combat power is extremely strong, but their influence is not large. The Royal Family wouldn’t dare to provoke them, but Dao Sect isn’t afraid.

However, the specifics would depend on actual combat," Yue Han quickly answered.

Gu An was slightly surprised: "You know quite a lot."

Yue Han spoke frankly: "Of course, my cultivation might not be up to much, but I’ve been diligent in my studies for over three hundred years; I’m about to die of old age at four hundred. How could I not know a lot?"

Gu An roughly understood the basics: "What about the Zhuanlun lineage?"

"The Zhuanlun lineage is rather unique. Although they have their own Sect, most of their members are not actually within the Sect; instead, they hide within various Sects and recruit disciples," Yue Han explained with a sense of helplessness: "The Royal Family bears a considerable grudge against them, but it’s difficult to completely eradicate them.

Once they go into hiding, they start taking in disciples again, gradually growing stronger.

However, many don’t amount to much, so the Royal Family tends to ignore them."

"There must be some drawbacks to the Zhuanlun lineage’s ability to enhance cultivation and comprehension, especially for those with poor talents to progress further, right?" Gu An asked.

Yue Han nodded: "There’s one clear disadvantage: it consumes lifespan. There’s a certain likelihood of becoming mentally unclear during the process. Many people want to pursue the path of cultivation; hardly anyone cares about such a small loss of life; hence, some feel that the Royal Family impedes their cultivation journey.

To them, the Zhuanlun lineage represents the true path of the Immortal Sect.

And the more someone is bottlenecked by their poor talents, the more likely they are to join their ranks."

Gu An was somewhat surprised; the Zhuanlun lineage was actually like this.

He grew a little curious: "Then what extent can one reach by relying on this lineage?"

"So far, no limits have been discovered," Yue Han shook her head.

No known limits? Gu An was inwardly shocked; no wonder it was so coveted.

Joining the Zhuanlun lineage was like a high-stakes gamble.

If one succeeded, countless opportunities lay ahead, without worrying about the lifespan previously consumed.

"As for all this, the Headmaster should still pay attention to the Cangmu Sect," Fairy Qingyao kindly reminded:

"They have already been here for quite some time, and possibly many have successfully joined the Zhuanlun lineage.

The Zhuanlun lineage believes in the concept of karma, which they think they can eradicate by killing the Headmaster."

"Can’t we avoid killing?" Gu An asked.

"There must be some benefits, right? Mere hatred and consciousness alone won’t drive someone to so desperately kill those affected by karma," Yue Han said casually: "People get up early for profit, especially in the realm of cultivation. Not many like me, who progress neither forward nor backward, are considered useless."

Afterward, Gu An confirmed their desired compensation, which was to find the person linked to an arranged marriage.

In response, Gu An honestly informed them it would take some time.

The other party was straightforward, stating they would not leave until the person was found.

Gu An had nothing more to say.

After they left,

Gu An fell into silence.

Nothing seemed to be going well.

The appearance of the Eye of Heavenly Punishment meant he was always in danger.

Furthermore, with the items taken by himself, people behind Immortal Cheng would certainly come looking.

They probably wouldn’t want the Eye of Heavenly Punishment to fall into others’ hands.

Immortal Cheng died on Cangmu Sect’s territory, so eventually, something was bound to happen in the Sect.

And his own identity could be exposed at any time.

He needed to be vigilant.

Moreover, people from the Zhuanlun lineage had arrived and were planning to act against the Cangmu Sect.

If successful, it wouldn’t be long before they took action against him.

Looking at the list, Gu An didn’t hesitate and set off for Law Enforcement Hall.

Before long, Dugu Jing arrived, smiling at the list: "It seems we have a follow-up."

Gu An respectfully said, "I rely on Senior Brother for this."

He also informed him of the possible recruitment of others.

That same evening,

A man and a woman were together.

"It’s been so long, and those who got the envelopes have yet to show up. It seems they have other plans," the man said.

"I told you there is no problem. Although they got the envelopes, there was no signature, who could know it was us?" the woman spoke casually, then she added: "Besides, Gu An is back, let’s go over tonight and finish him."

The man shook his head: "Too risky, I hear that Cangmu Sect’s Law Enforcement Hall is quite formidable, and I’ve also heard that someone from the Heavenly Maiden Lineage has come to Cangmu Sect, we need to be careful with them."

"Are you sure you won’t go after Gu An? I’ve heard that he knows the Nirvana Dao Scripture. If we learn it, would we fear running out of lifespan?" the woman scoffed: "We can totally lure him out of the Sect and then act. How can Law Enforcement Hall manage to extend its reach beyond that?"

"Indeed, not really," a sudden voice came through, followed by a bang as the door burst open.

Dugu Jing stood at the doorway, smiling at the two.

Then a great battle ensued.

Moments later,

Dugu Jing looked at the gravely injured woman and the man who had become a corpse, silently spoke: "Turns out one was an avatar, start investigating."

The woman chuckled: "Guess who his real body is?"

Dugu Jing glanced at her and said: "Bring her back for interrogation."

Capturing a live one, they would always find something out.

Then he left alone, heading to Outer Peak.
