After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In
Chapter 470 - 320: No Useless People

Chapter 470: Chapter 320: No Useless People

Nightfall.

Gu An returned to his residence.

He checked the Storage Treasure of the other party.

Had he not struck first, who knows what kind of trouble the other party’s cultivation could have caused.

Returning to Void Cultivation, if they really did something, even the Law Enforcement Hall might not suppress it immediately.

Killing a person was still quite easy.

It was because of this that the other party dared to directly order him to act.

Not acting would have consequences.

Yet in just a moment, he had lured the other party under the ’Sun and Moon in the same sky,’ then launched a surprise attack, the Gang Qi crushed the Spiritual Energy of the victim’s body to prevent any retaliation, followed by a beheading.

What remained was having the Red Armor Soldiers deliver a few more strikes to ensure death.

The fight was over.

As for the Storage Treasure...

Gu An discovered it was just an ordinary Storage Treasure from the Sect.

Inside were just three Spirit Stones.

Such a circumstance was a first for him.

Even someone with Returning to Void Cultivation wouldn’t be this poor.

There must be another hidden Storage Treasure.

Too bad, it wasn’t on the body.

Before, he made sure that the person did not have an extra Storage Treasure.

However, at the moment of killing, the Reincarnation released a strand of karma.

Now it was also on the Blood Spirit.

If the hostility continued, he feared that the Zhuanlun lineage would become mortal enemies with Zuo Youyan.

But that was a matter for later.

For now, his own troubles were gone, which was a relief.

It was just uncertain whether people from the Law Enforcement Hall would come.

Whether he was the killer or not, the Law Enforcement Hall actually had a way to check—testing for karma.

If he had more karma on him, it would verify that he had killed someone from the Zhuanlun lineage.

Without it, he could avoid suspicion.

This conclusion assumed they did not know about the existence of the Blood Spirit.

Throughout the night, Gu An continued logging.

No gains were had, even with hard cultivation at just a bit over twenty, no improvements were made.

To save up what was needed would take half a year.

And he could not stop logging during that period.

At dawn, Gu An walked out of the woods.

Just as he arrived at the forest, he saw Dugu Jing with his deputy looking at him.

Gu An was somewhat surprised.

But he also found it normal.

After all, someone had died last night.

"Junior Brother, there’s official business to discuss," Dugu Jing said with a smile: "Did anyone come looking for you last night?"

Gu An nodded, then took out a letter.

Naturally, it was from the people of the Zhuanlun lineage.

"I was also thinking of finding Senior Brother today," Gu An spoke up.

Under normal circumstances, one would turn to the Law Enforcement Hall.

After all, he was an undercover agent dispatched by the Law Enforcement Hall.

Not to seek them out in such a situation would be foolish.

Of course, if he could act on his own, it would be more convenient.

After all, the Law Enforcement Hall might not take action and could instead assign him more duties.

To facilitate later on, it didn’t matter if he made a move himself during a convenient time.

Having read the envelope, Dugu Jing said, "Junior Brother must have been worried all night."

Gu An nodded: "Yes, only through logging could I settle my mind."

Dugu Jing glanced at the axe in Gu An’s hand, and laughing added, "Junior Brother’s passion for logging is well-known, I didn’t expect it could also be used to calm the mind."

After a pause, Dugu Jing continued: "Peng Ming was killed last night, and the killer has yet to be found, but we did not discover any extra karma on anyone else.

Junior Brother should be careful."

Gu An was somewhat surprised; he didn’t expect karma to have been checked.

Of course, he also expressed concern.

Whether he might also be killed.

"There’s nothing to worry about within the Sect, but..." Dugu Jing took out a list and said, "Junior Brother, you have an assignment to travel outside. We cannot guarantee your safety on such outings.

Moreover, not just one person from the Zhuanlun lineage has arrived, but two others as well: one in the Late Stage Returning to Void and one at Returning to Void Perfection.

They’re all here for marriage alliance candidates, and Junior Brother may need to interact with them in the future.

Be careful.

Peng Ming was just a test to see if contacting you would be discovered by us.

For now, his death will make them cautious, and temporarily there won’t be much happening.

But the announcement of the marriage alliance will also bring Junior Brother quite a bit of trouble.

In short, this matter has strangely become complicated.

The main purpose of coming here was to ask if Junior Brother could complete this mission."

While speaking, Dugu Jing pointed to the list.

It was the roster for the trip to Jiuxiao Pavilion.

Gu An looked down and saw four names.

From the Outer Peak, Right Courtyard, second team, Gu An with a Golden Core Late Stage cultivation, which was himself.

Then Xiao Yuan from the Right Courtyard, Primordial Spirit Early Stage.

Qian Chen, Feng Miao, Lin Yu, also Primordial Spirit Early Stage.

And Chu Meng from Spirit Bamboo Peak, with Perfect Foundation Establishment.

Looking at the list, Gu An was somewhat surprised.

"By the way, Chu Meng will be the leader on this trip, and you all must listen to her," added Ye Feihua, the deputy.

This remark caused Gu An to fall silent again.

He thought Chu Meng would go alone; he didn’t expect her to be directly integrated into the team.

And to take charge as the team leader.

"Why?" Gu An asked curiously: "How can Chu Meng with her Perfect Foundation Establishment be the leader? Also... does she know how to log?"

"Why?" Dugu Jing said with a smile: "Because she has a powerful background. She’s going to Jiuxiao Pavilion to find something and asked if there was a related mission she could partake in.

Then she set off, and she’s the leader.

In such a trivial matter, nobody wants to make things difficult for themselves.

As for her capability to lead, her Maid is not to be underestimated, and she doesn’t know logging."

Gu An: "..."

Utterly useless, only the maid is formidable, and the background is strong.

Isn’t that a bit too blunt?

Aren’t superiors like me supposed not to let themselves be discovered?

And yet, why are they blatantly coming over?

"This mission seems somewhat difficult," Gu An remarked with some emotion.

If it were just him, it might be easier.

But with Chu Meng added, it became more challenging.

"Also, regarding the Zhuanlun lineage, there are also people from Jiuxiao Pavilion that you need to meet and then identify the person we’re looking for." As he spoke, Dugu Jing took out a list and two bracelets.
