Chapter 102: The Wind of a Short-lived Flower, the Enemy

"you……"

Zongying's eyes widened and his voice trembled. He couldn't believe his own feelings.

He had tried his best but still couldn't break free from Gu An's hand. And it was not just that he couldn't break free, he couldn't even vent his strength. Under normal circumstances, if the power of the fusion realm was released, this medicine valley would collapse instantly.

His physical strength and spiritual power could not be transmitted out of his body. There was an unimaginable force suppressing his whole body. He had never felt so suffocated before.

He has reached the fusion realm!

The land of nine dynasties, come and go freely! Zong Ying's heart was filled with despair, realizing that he was going to capsize, but he didn't want to die!

"Senior, please spare my life!" Zong Ying gritted his teeth, without any courage at all for a person in the Fusion Realm.

Gu An has used his own spiritual power to isolate the surrounding space, making their voices unable to be heard by the outside world.

He had a rough guess about Zong Ying's identity, so he didn't kill him directly. He asked, "Give me a reason not to kill you."

Until now, Zong Ying has not shown any hostility towards Gu An. He must have been scared to death.

"I am called the Ghost Thief... I came to steal the Xuanqing Tree not for myself, but for the common people in the world... Senior, since you are a master of Taixuan Sect, you should understand the resource gap in the world of immortal cultivation. Taixuan Sect occupies too many resources for immortal cultivation. The spiritual energy of the common people is weak, and those who do not have a prominent family background cannot get out at all. If this continues, the world of immortal cultivation will only have people from aristocratic families..."

Zong Ying spoke quickly, and his eyes even turned red at the end.

Gu An was deeply moved, what a realistic acting.

Gu An agrees with the idea of ​​the ghost thief. It is chivalrous to protect the people of the world, but you can't steal from me! "You already know my strength, I have to kill you to prevent the news from leaking out." Gu An said expressionlessly.

As soon as these words came out, Zong Ying was almost scared to death. His eyes rolled and he suddenly thought of something. He said quickly: "I have a spell that can make me obey you completely and cannot disobey you. Once I disobey you, I will suffer bad luck and die suddenly!"

There is a chance! I can trick him!

The fear in Zongying's heart receded, replaced by excitement.

[Mong Ying is hostile to you and hates you to the core. Do you want to use life detection on him?]

Just when I was about to let you go, you turned hostile to me? Interesting.

Gu An became interested when he heard it and asked, "What spell?"

Zongying introduced: "This is the Heaven's Mirror Curse. As long as both parties conclude the ritual and I swear to you, it will be concluded."

"Okay, then come with me and find a deserted place to cast the spell." Gu An pulled Zong Ying towards the teleportation array in the distance.

Zong Ying was still suppressed by his spiritual power and unable to move, but he felt relaxed in his heart, as the other party seemed to really believe him.

As he was being pulled away by Gu An, he was thinking in his mind.

Who is this person?

He was able to suppress the Heti Realm so easily. Could it be that he had already reached the Mysterious Heart Realm? Could this person be the retired Supreme Elder of the Taixuan Sect? The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. He had to report this matter to the sect.

Just like that, the two of them were teleported to Xuan Valley and then left Xuan Valley. During this time, some disciples cast curious glances at them, but when they saw them talking and laughing, they quickly looked away.

After leaving Xuan Valley for dozens of miles, Gu An stopped only after he was sure that no one was following him.

The two stayed in the woods, and from beginning to end, Zong Ying was unable to escape from Gu An's spiritual suppression.

Zong Ying smiled apologetically and said, "Senior, can we start now?"

Gu An nodded and a smile appeared on his face.

As soon as he saw Gu An's smile, Zong Ying's face changed drastically and he instinctively felt the danger. Before he could think about it, a powerful spiritual sense rushed into his mind.

Soul-stealing! ...

In a dark hall, Zong Ying half-knelt on the ground, looking at the mysterious black shadow on the steps. The shadow was surrounded by black air and his true appearance could not be seen clearly.

"Your Qi-gathering technique is the most powerful. You go and test the depth of the Taixuan Sect." A cold male voice came from the mysterious black shadow, without any emotion.

Zong Ying hesitated and said, "Lü Baitian has regained the position of the leader of Taixuan Sect. His cultivation has reached the ninth level of the Fusion Realm. Do we really want to fight him head-on?"

The mysterious black shadow replied: "This is the order of the main vein. We must annex the Taicang Dynasty before the great demonic catastrophe comes. The Taicang Dynasty is located by the sea and plays a vital role in the future plans of our sect."

Zong Ying was surprised to hear this and asked, "The master's order? The master can finally free up his hands to help us?"

"Well, the failure two hundred years ago made the main branch very dissatisfied with us. Although we have infiltrated the Taicang Dynasty, compared with the actions of other branches, we have brought shame to the Epiphyllum Sect. You take action first, explore the current foundation of the Taixuan Sect, and wait for the arrival of the Xuanxin Realm master of the main branch, and then declare war on the Taixuan Sect."

Hearing the words of the mysterious black shadow, Zong Ying immediately responded excitedly. He thought this was a good opportunity to make a contribution!

The picture was shattered, and Gu An's consciousness detected Zong Ying's other memories.

This guy is not a ghost thief at all. He just uses the name of the ghost thief to let Taixuanmen make preparations in advance, so that he can understand how many powerful people are hidden in Taixuanmen.

The reason why he didn't use the name of the Epiphyllum Sect was that he was afraid of alerting the enemy. If he failed, he could still survive as a ghost thief.

The ghost thief was doing a chivalrous act, and the Taixuan Sect is a major righteous sect, so they would not necessarily kill the ghost thief.

If it weren’t for the fact that he had predicted his enemy’s lifespan, Gu An might have really been deceived by him.

for a long time.

Half an hour later, in the woods.

Zong Ying fell in front of Gu An with a thud. His eyes were rolled back and his body was stiff. He was completely dead. His spirit was shattered by Gu An's powerful spiritual power, and his soul was destroyed before his body.

Gu An took away Zong Ying's storage bag with an expressionless face, and then burned Zong Ying's body with spiritual fire.

Killing Zong Ying gave him 240 years of life, but this did not make him feel better.

In Zong Ying's memory, there was no such thing as the Heavenly Mirror Curse. However, Gu An saw what he did, including killing people for treasures, slaughtering entire families, bullying female cultivators, refining souls and making ghost weapons, etc. He was truly a man of many evil deeds.

This gave Gu An a very bad impression of the Epiphyllum Sect.

He originally thought that the dispute between the Epiphyllum Sect and the Taixuan Sect was just an ordinary dispute between sects, but now he feels that if the Epiphyllum Sect unified the Taicang Dynasty, life would only become more difficult.

There is also darkness within the Taixuan Sect, but the cultivators in the fusion realm within the Taixuan Sect are not so despicable.

"Mysterious state of mind?"

Gu An thought to himself, then turned and left.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

The autumn wind blew into the woods, scattering Zong Ying's ashes. In the air, the ashes also completely dissipated and ceased to exist.

Gu An first came to the Bajing Cave Heaven, checked Zong Ying's storage bag, and destroyed all the suspicious things to avoid exposing the location of the Bajing Cave Heaven, leaving only the resources for cultivating immortals.

The storage bag of a great monk in the fusion realm is different. It contains countless magical instruments of all kinds, as well as a lot of elixirs, even a lot of inferior elixirs.

After an hour of hard work, Gu An finally left the Bajing Cave.

After returning to Xuan Valley, Gu An went to find Yang Ni to see how the Epiphyllum was growing.

He saw Yang Ni meditating and practicing in the Tanhua Garden. Before, she was busy practicing and was not attracted by Gu An and Zong Ying. On weekdays, people from the Alchemy Hall, Law Enforcement Hall, and the Ji family came to see Gu An from time to time, and she had long been accustomed to it.

Of course, the main reason is that Zong Ying’s method of gathering energy is too powerful.

"Why are you practicing here?" Gu An asked. He saw that Yang Ni was absorbing the spiritual energy of the Epiphyllum. This was not a good thing as it was not conducive to the growth of the Epiphyllum!

Yang Ni opened his eyes and said, "I am practicing in the valley, and I am afraid of exposing my cultivation level."

Gu An directly pulled her up and walked towards his attic, saying: "Go to my room to practice. I just set up a ban not long ago, so my disciples can't spy on what's going on in the room."

Yang Ni frowned, but it was not easy to directly refuse Gu An, so she could only follow Gu An back to the valley.

…

The cold winter is coming, and the Third Medicine Valley is covered with white snow.

Gu An was reading a book in the house when Ji Xiaoyu suddenly came to visit him. He quickly put away the Taixuan Secret Book and stood up to greet Ji Xiaoyu.

Ji Xiaoyu closed the door, put up a ban, and then asked, "Did you comprehend the Shenzhou Sutra in your dream?"

She has been studying the Shenzhou Sutra for half a year and has gained many insights.

Gu An said seriously: "This is not a method of cultivation, but a principle of life. It can help you stabilize your mind. A calm mind will allow you to cultivate better."

"Isn't this something I realized in my dream?"

"Of course not. I met an old senior in the outer sect before. He gave me the Shenzhou Sutra and said something about the great way being simple. But over the years, I have often studied the Shenzhou Sutra. Although my cultivation has not improved, my state of mind has become more peaceful and open-minded. Nothing can worry me, and I will not be obsessed with anything."

Gu An shook his head and said, hearing this, Ji Xiaoyu looked at him deeply.

Ji Xiaoyu said: "This book is indeed useful. My mind is much calmer now than before I came here. I no longer think about things that I cannot do for the time being."

"I want to bring this book back to the Ji family. Do you agree? If you agree, I will find a way to get you a seventh-level spiritual tree. The Ji family's foundation is no worse than that of the Taixuan Sect."

"Of course, if you don't agree, I won't force you, and I promise not to leak the Shenzhou Sutra."

Seventh level spiritual tree?

The Ji family is so powerful? Gu An suppressed his surprise and said calmly, "Of course I am willing. Confucius in the classics has the ambition to convey his ideas to the people of the world. How can I hide it?"

The Shenzhou Jing is a patchwork of statements from many ancient Chinese sages, including Lao Tzu, Confucius, Zhuangzi, etc. Gu An also marked their names in the book to create their extraordinary images.

When Ji Xiaoyu heard this, a smile appeared on her face, and she began to discuss the Shenzhou Sutra with Gu An.

After chatting for a long time, she said goodbye and left.

When he was almost in front of the door, Ji Xiaoyu suddenly turned around, looked at Gu An and said, "Now that you own such a large Third Medicine Valley, your status and position are different. You should have heard of the Epiphyllum Sect. If someone from the Epiphyllum Sect tries to win you over, don't agree."

"Why?"

"The Epiphyllum Cult's actions are treacherous and evil, and they are not the right path. If you seek the truth from them, it will be hard to achieve good results. In addition, the Ji family and the Epiphyllum Cult are old enemies."

The key point is the reason behind it, right? Gu An complained in his heart. At the same time, he could feel the impact of the Epiphyllum Sect on the Taixuan Sect. When Ji Xiaoyu said this, he must have known that many people were lured by the Epiphyllum Sect.
