#247 - Collude with the Demon Sect and betray the Sect
Top of the list?
Hearing these two words, Gu An was quite surprised.
This time, giving something away can also put me at the top of the list?
Originally, he just wanted to send the trouble away.
By the way, get some merits. It would be best to stay on the list, but it doesn't matter if I can't.
Even with high merits, it only provides temporary protection.
Moreover, it has to be within the prescribed scope.
It is far less important than one's own strength.
So, when faced with the merit list and subsequent cultivation methods, Gu An chose the latter.
But he never expected that he would still be qualified to be at the top of the list.
This is too eye-catching.
"This can also be at the top of the list?" Gu An was a little disbelieving.
"The probability is very high." Mei Jianghe looked at the sapling and said, "Junior Brother probably doesn't know much about this thing.
Behind this tree are countless lives.
It is said that when our sect was founded, we thought about using this barrier as a sect-protecting formation.
Cooperating with our spirit tree, we can almost control all the surrounding situations, and the feedback from the spirit tree can take the sect's spiritual energy to a higher level.
Unfortunately, this method is too inhumane. Although the sect leader has clues to the refining method, it requires millions of living beings for sacrifice.
In the end, we still gave up.
After all, we are not a demonic sect.
Of course, we are not some famous righteous sect either.
So, since we got this thing for free, we naturally have to use it.
It can be said that it doubles on the original basis.
That is a thousand-year-old formation, and it can be doubled. What kind of concept is that?
If not the top of the list, the top three are definitely not a problem.
Of course, the premise is that this thing must be genuine."
Hearing this, Gu An nodded.
At this time, Mei Jianghe quickly recorded this tree, then looked at Gu An and said, "This matter needs a day or two to confirm, so Junior Brother needs to go back and wait for news.
If you are worried, you can take a trip to Tianxuan Peak and find the peak master to supervise.
I think he won't refuse."
Gu An shook his head and said, "No need, I believe Senior Brother Mei."
The other party smiled and said, "Then Junior Brother can wait for the news in peace."
After that, Gu An left the Merit Hall.
It wasn't that he really trusted the other party, but he just felt it was unnecessary.
Top of the list...
He didn't want it either.
If the other party could operate it so that he could still stay on the list after exchanging for the cultivation method, then it wouldn't matter even if he took away a portion of the merits.
Being at the top of the list is really too high-profile.
Of course, Linghua Valley might also have trouble coming.
If it becomes Mei Jianghe's merit, then someone will just replace him.
On the other side.
Linghua Valley.
In the main hall, a middle-aged man looked at the four powerhouses below and said in a low voice:
"The situation is roughly like this. The Black Night Barrier was taken away by someone from the Cangmu Sect.
Not only that, the barrier has disappeared."
The two men and two women below came from four different sects.
They looked at the uppermost position, silent.
After a while, a beautiful woman spoke, "So, Fellow Daoist Yu, what do you want to say by calling us here?
Fellow Daoist Yu looked at the people below and said softly, "In that place, besides the barrier, there is also a demon that we caught.
He said that getting the tree would get everything in the barrier. As long as the Black Night Barrier is opened again, the missing things will be connected again.
Do you know what's inside?
A bald man asked, "What is it?"
"Let's talk about the sect to which this Black Night Barrier belongs." Fellow Daoist Yu looked at everyone below and said:
"The Holy Spirit Sect."
Hearing this, everyone's hearts tightened.
The Holy Spirit Sect was an evil sect that was hunted down by countless immortal sects back then.
The Black Night Barrier started from them. It is said that they annihilated countless people in order to test how to form the Black Night Barrier.
Besides that, there was another reason why that sect was hunted down back then.
It is said that they hid the secret to glimpse the endless Heavenly Dao. The beautiful woman looked at the man above and said, "Do you mean that the secret of the Holy Spirit Sect is inside the barrier?"
Fellow Daoist Yu looked at the four people below and said meaningfully:
"Who knows?
I only know that the tree itself is an evil demon, a evil object condensed from the blood of countless people.
Moreover, the person who left has had close contact with the evil demon.
The harm brought by the Holy Spirit Sect back then was so great.
Once someone comes into contact with it, they almost become one of them.
Do you think a Golden Core cultivator who has come into contact with that thing, and may even have mastered that thing.
Is he still safe?
I think the Cangwei Sect should hand over the person and the tree to you virtuous immortal sects for disposal."
Hearing this, the four people below were silent for a moment.
Then the bald man smiled and said, "I think Fellow Daoist Yu is right.
If it is just a simple opportunity, we would naturally not be convenient to intervene.
But since this matter involves demonic sects, we naturally cannot stand idly by.
Such evil objects cannot be used by the world.
No one is sure whether this tree needs new blood for sacrifice.
It requires a joint decision from all the sects whether to destroy it or keep it."
For a time, everyone reached a consensus.
Finally, everyone left.
Start working on the follow-up matters.
Half a month later, they will go to Cangmu Sect.
This matter must be done as soon as possible. Once it is late, then the tree may be used.
At this time, Gu An returned to Fengwaifeng.
He came back to see the people of the second team by the way.
Currently, there is nothing special.
I just heard that Yu Tu has begun to retreat to break through to Foundation Establishment.
During this period, people from Lingzhu Peak came and wanted to visit Gu An.
But the person was not there, so they couldn't see him.
Later, they said they wanted to see Yu Tu.
Shu Ci and Pang Wen stopped them.
However, he left a letter.
"The letter was given to Yu Tu?" Gu An asked.
Shu Ci shook her head: "No, he was in good condition at that time, so I didn't give it to him, it would affect his Foundation Establishment."
"Did you read it?" Gu An asked, looking at her.
Shu Ci lowered her head and then said, "I read it."
Gu An turned to look at Pang Wen and found that he was a little anxious, so he also asked, "Did you read it too?"
Pang Wen admitted generously: "I read it, I asked Senior Sister Shu Ci to read it.
Punish me if the team leader wants to punish me."
Gu An looked at him and said, "You are quite good at being a senior brother."
Then, without waiting for them to explain, he said, "What's the content?"
Seeing that Gu An didn't mean to blame, Pang Wen said a little angrily: "It was a letter written by his childhood sweetheart, saying that she received a letter from her family saying that Yu Tu's family was taken away by bandits, and their life and death are unknown.
If you want to know the details, go to her, and you must leave Fengwaifeng.
If you want to become independent, you can't accept help from others.
The reason why she treats him like this is to hone him into a man who can stand up to the sky.
If you don't care, why be dissatisfied with some of his actions and make excessive actions?
It's all for his own good."
After speaking, Pang Wen said: "Although I don't know what happened, I feel that this fairy is vicious."
Gu An was not surprised, just said, "What about the back?"
"Since we read the letter, we naturally had to find out.
We checked Yu Tu's home and went there.
We found that they were really taken away by bandits.
Moreover, this bandit actually has contact with Yu Tu's childhood sweetheart's family." Shu Ci said with a smile: "We let the bandits release people, but we are not unreasonable, so we handed Yu Senior Brother's childhood sweetheart's parents to him.
Then we wrote a letter to Cangmu Sect.
Then they became honest."
"But we didn't reveal our identity." Pang Wen said seriously.
Gu An looked at them and felt that these people were quite idle.
After a moment of silence, he looked at them and said, "When Yu Tu comes out of seclusion, tell him the truth."
After confirming there were no difficult tasks, Gu An dismissed them.
After all, there were still some normal tasks that required communication with the various sects.
When he was free, Gu An began to calculate the gains from killing Si Wuye.
For some reason, the other party wasn't as rich as he had imagined.
Only a little over ten thousand spirit stones.
The others combined were also a little over ten thousand.
In other words, he currently had forty-five thousand spirit stones.
Besides these, there were also some pills and talismans.
Plus one or two magic weapons.
A shield and a pair of gloves.
Gu An tried them, but the shield's level was not high, so there was no point in keeping it.
The gloves were also useless.
They were not as good as the power-storing wristbands that Chu Meng had given him.
However, he did obtain a mental cultivation method.
It was Si Wuye's, the Hundred Battles Mental Method.
It enhanced divine sense through battle. The more one fought, the stronger one became, far surpassing others of the same rank, but it was easy to become possessed by inner demons.
This was the reason for his mental anguish.
It was also why, as long as he could endure it, he could successfully advance.
After becoming possessed by inner demons, one could improve as long as one persevered.
Gu An put it away, having no intention of practicing it.
The Seven Emotions and Six Desires Chapter was also a mental cultivation method.
Currently, it seemed that the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Chapter was even more powerful, so there was no need to change.
However, with so many spirit stones, he might be able to buy cultivation methods.
He just didn't know when Hua Jiyang would send a letter.
Three days later.
Gu An received a message from Mei Jianghe.
He said that the matter had been decided.
Because it concerned the entire sect, it was impossible to specify its use.
However, as long as it was successfully established, it would provide Gu An with a separate small barrier, but Gu An would need to provide his own formation to integrate it, so that he could control the residence's barrier.
Not only would it be difficult for others to enter, but the spiritual energy would also be much higher.
Gu An was slightly surprised that there were such benefits.
Besides this, there was also the matter of merit points.
After some discussion, the higher-ups decided that, although he hadn't reached the top, adding the previous ones would rank him second.
Second place, Gu An was relieved.
This was good too.
In addition, was the residence's barrier one or two?
Gu An went over specifically to ask.
After learning the general situation, the other party finally said it could be two.
However, if he no longer held a position at Peak Beyond Peaks in the future, the small barrier would also be taken back.
It recognized people, not places.
As long as one held a position within the sect, one could take the barrier with them.
Gu An was a little surprised.
This was indeed a bit unexpected.
Such good treatment.
Was this still the sect he knew?
Being on the list was indeed different, but the things he handed over were indeed useful to the sect.
To himself, they were useless.
The only useful thing was perhaps that he could chop down trees and get a little value.
After that, Gu An went back to chop wood.
No one disturbed him.
Soon, the spell values were full.
This time, he would still upgrade Qi Sea Heavenly罡.
Extracting the spell, he once again fell into a dream.
He began to accumulate Qi Sea Heavenly罡.
One year, ten years, fifty years...
The 罡 energy became more and more abundant.
Until a hundred years later.
The 罡 energy once again approached perfection.
After a few more years, Gu An opened his eyes.
Without hesitation, he came to the woods and released the 罡 energy.
He didn't dare to release it in the courtyard anymore.
The commotion was a bit too big.
It was easy to be discovered.
This time, he took out a dilapidated long knife and circulated the Qi Sea Heavenly罡.
The 罡 energy covered it.
At this time, the 罡 energy was covered by Xuanhuang energy.
There was no longer the obvious cold feeling of the past, nor the aura of 罡 energy.
It was covered by Xuanhuang energy.
Seeing this scene, Gu An was a little surprised.
He casually picked a leaf, covered it with 罡 energy, and then waved it out.
Clang!
The leaf embedded itself in the tree trunk.
Gu An sensed it, but there was no aura of Qi Sea Heavenly罡.
This...
Qi Sea Heavenly罡 could conceal the aura of 罡 energy?
He looked inside himself, and the cracks in the poison pill were even more numerous.
The same was true of the Xuanhuang energy.
At this time, the Xuanhuang energy covered his entire body, so did it also have a concealing effect?
To try it out.
He immediately returned to Sky Suspension Peak and found the Blood Demon God Lord.
He asked the other party what his cultivation level was.
"Mid-stage Golden Core," the other party replied.
After that, Gu An dispersed the control of the Aura Concealment Art: "What's my cultivation level?"
Gu An was not hiding his cultivation level now, but only displaying his normal aura.
It was very dangerous, after all, if his Nascent Soul cultivation level was detected, he would easily lose his sense of security.
The Blood Demon God Lord looked blank: "I can't see it, I feel like it's being concealed by something."
Gu An looked at the other party and said, "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure, I clearly feel that Brother should have a pretty strong cultivation level, but I can't see the realm, and I'm not sure what kind of cultivation level it is," the fat tiger-like Blood Demon God Lord said seriously.
Gu An nodded.
He continued to circulate the Aura Concealment Art, displaying his mid-stage Golden Core cultivation level.
In other words, not only could he hide his cultivation level now, but he even had Xuanhuang energy concealing his cultivation level?
Then where did the Xuanhuang energy come from?
Was it because he practiced Qi Sea Heavenly罡, or was it because he accidentally rolled the poison pill into it?
Although he was curious, he had no answer.
He could only continue to go back to chop wood.
He was not in a hurry to extract the bitter cultivation.
Five days later, Gu An gradually heard some news.
Someone began to spread the news that he had brought back heretical demonic creatures, which were not tolerated by the cultivation world.
This caused a great uproar, and many people began to pay attention to him again.
Some people even said with a smile that they would watch him rise from the ground and then watch him fall from a great height.
Those who were originally dissatisfied with him began to slander him.
Gu An didn't care.
After all, he didn't leave Peak Beyond Peaks.
Three more days passed, and Pang Wen told him with some nervousness that there were now rumors outside that he was colluding with the Blood Demon and bringing danger into the sect.
He was a sinner of the sect, and they requested that the sect bring him to justice.
They verbally attacked him and insisted that he die.
Pang Wen and the others asked what to do.
Gu An simply told them to mind their own business and ignore it.
This matter came a little too quickly and a little too fiercely.
It was not in his expectation.
However, the Law Enforcement Hall did not look for him, nor did the sect call him.
Chu Meng didn't come either.
So he continued to wait.
Two more days.
Rumors began to spread in the sect that some immortal sects knew that someone was colluding with the demonic sect and wanted to harm countless living beings.
They decided to come and act on behalf of Heaven.
Many people in Azurewood Sect began to cheer and even began to look forward to it.
Especially the people at the foot of the mountain, who couldn't wait for Gu An to be taken away.
They laughed and said that the clown should have known that this day would come.
They felt that it was abnormal.
How could such an old Golden Core be on the merit list.
It turned out that he was cooperating with the demonic sect.
Sect traitor.
Early February.
Gu An stood on Peak Beyond Peaks and saw several bright lights.
The immortal sects had arrived.
But Gu Lou still hadn't received any news from anyone, nor had anyone controlled his behavior.
Why was this?
This matter was making a lot of noise.
Many people were eager to swallow him alive.
Some people who originally wanted to be close to him avoided him instantly.
The facts proved that the impact existed and was not small.
While he was puzzled, he suddenly received a message from the Law Enforcement Hall.
It was a restriction order, temporarily forbidding him from leaving the sect.
Gu An looked at the restriction order.
He sighed, seemingly not valuing himself much.
He was colluding with the demonic sect.
