Chapter 39: Yuanying blocks the way, despicable

"What's the big deal?"

Gu An asked with a smile. When he came to the outer city today, he did feel that the atmosphere was wrong and there was an indescribable sense of tension.

Ye Lan said, "The sect master is fighting for power with a certain elder. Some time ago, the emperor came to Taixuan Sect and selected the elder's direct disciple as the national teacher, giving him a first-class official title. He also announced it to the world, which greatly boosted the morale of the elder's side. They also spread negative comments about the sect master."

Lu Jiujia was beaten to the punch by her, and his eyes were somewhat resentful. After she finished speaking, he quickly added: "The sect master has a domineering style and has offended many elders. In recent years, the territory outside the outer sect has repeatedly seen casualties among disciples and invasions by demons. Many elders in the sect are dissatisfied with this. Now that the emperor supports him, the sect master's enemies will naturally not tolerate it. With such a dispute, how can there not be chaos?"

Gu An asked curiously: "Doesn't the Sect Master have absolute power? Isn't he the strongest cultivator in Taixuan Sect?"

"Of course not. The sect leader was also elected by the elders. Moreover, in Taixuan Sect, the person with the strongest cultivation is not the sect leader, but the true disciple. It is said that he is the most talented person in Taixuan Sect in a thousand years. He goes out to explore the world and does not return for many years. Anyway, I have heard a rumor that if he wants to be the sect leader today, he will be the sect leader tomorrow at most." Lu Jiujia replied. His tone became excited when he talked about the true disciple.

"So powerful? What's his name?"

"Ahem, I haven't figured it out yet."

Lu Jiujia coughed fakely, trying to hide his embarrassment.

Ye Lan rolled her eyes at him, then looked at Gu An and said softly, "I did hear a lot of inside information in the Law Enforcement Hall. The open and secret struggles in the sect's main city have spread to the inner and outer sects. Brother, you must be careful in Xuan Valley. Those people will do anything to fight for power."

Gu An laughed and said, "Not really? Could it be that someone else dares to come and massacre Xuan Valley and then put the blame on the other party?"

After hearing this, Gu An himself became panicked.

Someone has already raised the Greedy Demon Ghost outside the outer gate, so what else is impossible to happen? Ye Lan saw his worry, reached out and held his hand, and comforted him: "Brother, don't be afraid, I will find a way to persuade the Law Enforcement Hall to deepen the patrols of the various medicine valleys in the outer gate."

Gu An pulled his hand back naturally. He was only distracted for a moment and was attacked by her.

Well, actually he saw it, but he was afraid that he would react too quickly and arouse suspicion from his fellow junior brothers and sisters.

Lu Jiujia laughed secretly, but was glared at by Ye Lan.

"You have to be more careful than me. A power struggle like this is more dangerous than going out to slay demons and monsters." Gu An said earnestly.

Lu Jiujia was very confident and said that he could not die.

Ye Lan said that she was in the Law Enforcement Hall and others did not dare to touch her easily.

The Law Enforcement Hall governs all the halls. By joining the Law Enforcement Hall, one can gain power over ordinary disciples. However, the training time of the Law Enforcement Hall disciples is not as long as that of ordinary disciples. They have to take care of any problems in the hall.

Gu An looked at Ye Lan, feeling deeply moved.

After only a few years out of the valley, Ye Lan has been transformed. She is no longer the little girl who followed him around. Now she is heroic and reliable.

The three of them drank and chatted.

Most of the time, it was Lu Jiujia and Ye Lan who spoke. Through their words, Gu An gained a lot of understanding of the situation in Taixuan Sect.

He felt very gratified that the junior brothers and sisters he had trained were taking care of him in return, which gave him a special sense of accomplishment.

If Xuan Gu's disciples were to be scattered throughout the outer sect's various halls, or even enter the inner sect in the future, wouldn't he be omnipotent?

Gu An got excited just thinking about it.

Two hours later, Lu Jiujia left first. Gu An politely declined Ye Lan's invitation to go to her mansion to taste Liang Zhen, and then left the outer city with her reluctant look.

Stepping on the flying sword and flying against the wind, Gu An was in a good mood.

The sky gradually turned red and dusk was approaching.

Gu An's apparent cultivation had reached the ninth level of the Qi Training Realm, so his flying speed was not slow. He admired the undulating mountains and forests along the way.

In a blink of an eye, half an hour passed.

Suddenly, Gu An, who was flying, saw a figure flying out of the forest in front of him and approaching him rapidly, so he couldn't help but slow down.

I saw an old man in a white robe walking towards me with a sword in his hand and a wine gourd in his hand. His nose was as red as a date, as if he had just gotten drunk.

"My friend, please stay!"

The voice of the old man in white robe came, and Gu An could feel that the other party's cultivation aura was at the Foundation Establishment Stage, but to be on the safe side, he still cast a lifespan probe.

[Lin Futian (Nascent Soul Stage 1): 603/800/840]

Good fellow! Yuanying realm! Gu An cursed the other party inwardly for being insidious and actually practicing a secret method to hide his cultivation.

The two soon met in the air. Lin Futian had a kind smile on his face and said, "My friend, I am a disciple of the Outer Sect Law Enforcement Hall, Lin Kun. I have something to ask you. Recently, there have been many spies from the Demonic Path. How about we go to the woods to talk?"

Gu An nodded. If he refused at this time, it probably wouldn’t work. It would be better to wait and see.

The two of them quickly landed in the forest, and Gu An picked up two leaves.

Lin Futian took a step forward and asked mysteriously, "My friend, have you ever heard of Xu Ruye from the Wanyin Sect?"

Xu Ruye? That's too familiar! I was the one who killed him! Xu Ruye and Chan Ji wanted to live in his medicine valley and even injured Li Ya. How could he forget it?

Gu An pretended to be confused and asked, "I have heard of the Wan Yin Sect, but who is Xu Ruye?"

"Xu Ruye was a genius of the Wanyin Sect, and his father was the deputy leader of the Wanyin Sect. He died in this area. Recently, many spies from the Wanyin Sect have been investigating the cause of his death." Lin Futian stepped forward and said.

Gu An immediately stepped back and kept a distance from him.

Seeing his alert face, Lin Futian grinned: "Why? My friend, you don't suspect that I'm a spy of the Wanyin Sect, do you?"

Gu An shook his head and said, "I don't dare, but I really have never heard of Xu Ruye. Since you are from the Law Enforcement Hall, why do you need to ask me?"

"Hahaha--"

Lin Futian laughed loudly. He suddenly waved his sleeves and the surging spiritual power spread like mist, quickly covering an area of ​​several miles in radius.

Gu An panicked, raised the sword in his right hand and looked at him nervously.

Lin Futian then opened the wine gourd, and an unpleasant smell of wine emanated from it. He grinned and said, “Don’t be afraid. There are fifteen of your fellow disciples here to accompany you…”

Gu An gritted his teeth and asked, "Who are you? What is your origin? Even if I die, can you let me die with understanding?"

“Didn’t you guess it?” Lin Futian sneered. He raised his hand and grabbed in the air. A powerful spiritual force bound Gu An and pulled him towards him.

Gu An showed a look of despair, his body soared in the air and flew quickly towards Lin Futian.

Lin Futian reached out to him with his left hand, held the wine gourd in his right hand, and poured it into his mouth.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Boom! Gu An in the air suddenly burst out with a terrifying aura, instantly dispersing his spiritual power.

Lin Futian's pupils suddenly dilated, and a leaf was reflected in his pupils.

The leaf was surrounded by sharp sword energy, as fast as lightning, and directly pierced through Lin Futian's eyebrows. Blood splattered and the leaf swept away.

Boom boom

The trunks of large trees were shattered and dust rose up, like a huge gray wall that was dozens of miles long rising up.

Lin Futian was trembling all over, with an expression of disbelief on his face. He said angrily, "You...actually hid your cultivation...despicable..."

Gu An took a step forward and stood in front of him. He put the index and middle fingers of his right hand together and pressed them against his chest like a sword.

Boom! The sword energy burst out, instantly shattering Lin Futian's body, and dispersing the dust waves behind him. It was so domineering that the trees on both sides fell outwards, and a gully several miles long appeared.

A figure suddenly flew out from the rolling dust. It was a baby, but his face was old and looked strange. It was Lin Futian's Nascent Soul.

He flew towards the horizon at full speed when he suddenly heard a sound of breaking air.

He subconsciously turned his head to look, and saw a leaf rushing towards him, directly destroying his Nascent Soul, and a blood mist bloomed in the air.

Gu An raised his hand and grabbed his flying sword. He took a step forward, sword energy possessed his body, and he turned into a sword shadow and rushed away, quickly disappearing into the mountains and forests.

He did not rush towards Xuan Valley, but headed in another direction. On the way, a prompt popped up: [You successfully took away 25 years of Lin Futian's (Nascent Soul Realm Level 1) lifespan]

It’s a bit too little, but there’s nothing that can be done. Although Lin Futian is in the Nascent Soul stage, he is 603 years old and only has 197 years left to live.

Gu An didn't think much about it. He made a big circle and then returned to Xuan Valley as quickly as possible.

He climbed through the window into the attic lobby, sat at the table, raised his right hand and grabbed a jar of wine from the wine cabinet, and began to drink it in big gulps.

After taking a sip of the wine, he gently put down the jar. His right hand was shaking a little and his heart was beating even more violently.

“Huff…”

Gu An tried hard to calm down.

It was so damn scary! I met a spy from the Demonic Path when I returned home! Gu An was worried that the noise he made just now was too loud, so he decided not to leave the valley for the next month to avoid the limelight.

"No, it's too dangerous... If someone jumps out of the Nascent Soul Realm to block me today, someone from the Spiritual Transformation Realm or even a higher realm might appear one day..."

Gu An quickly called up his attribute panel and looked at his lifespan of more than 91,000 years. The anxiety in his heart subsided a little.

The road to becoming an immortal is filled with dangers. An ordinary cultivator at the ninth level of the Qi training realm can be intercepted by a great cultivator at the first level of the Nascent Soul realm. Isn't that scary?

Gu An thought of the fifteen souls in the wine gourd and couldn't help but feel sympathy for them.

Next, he plans to forcibly harvest a wave of herbs, strive to achieve a lifespan of 100,000 years, and see if he can unlock new functions, and then spend his life as soon as possible!

Gu An took a deep breath, took out the Travels of the Green Hero from his arms, and diverted his attention.

As night fell, cheers of disciples could be heard outside the window. Gu An used his spiritual sense to investigate and found that Tang Yu and Su Han were sparring again, while the other disciples were watching the fun.

If it were usual, he would definitely go down to watch the fun, but he was not in the mood now.

He read Qing Xia's Travels carefully. His heart had calmed down, but he was still a little worried.

After a while.

There was a sound of footsteps, and then the door was pushed open. Zhen Qin walked in quickly and said, "Master, the eldest brother and the second brother are fighting!"

Her eyes fell on the cover of Qingxia's Travels and she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
