#294 - A large Buddha that cannot fit in one courtyard
Within the forest, the sun and moon shared the sky, a gentle breeze stirring.
Yet, the sunlight was dim, the moon's glow dominant.
It was as if the world had lost its light.
However, ordinary people, without looking up, would be completely unaware that their surroundings had undergone such a transformation.
Under the moonlight, Leng Qingtao suddenly felt the world grow silent.
She witnessed with her own eyes a senior in the mid-stage of Returning Void charging forward.
Then, that person she had always regarded as an ordinary disciple of the sect, pinched his neck with one hand.
And then, brutally crushed him to death.
The corpse tossed aside was enough to make her heart tremble.
Especially when that person's gaze fell upon her.
At that moment, Leng Qingtao felt the world was filled with malice towards her.
If she had known he was so powerful, she would have returned to the Azure Wood Sect long ago.
Why had she fallen into such a predicament?
Facing his indifferent gaze, Leng Qingtao knew she was doomed.
Because he had always appeared to be in the mid-stage of Core Formation.
Now, even a Returning Void expert had been crushed to death.
How much had he been hiding?
Who would hide their cultivation all the way down to Core Formation?
Shouldn't it be just a small realm, or appear to be at the peak of Core Formation, but actually be in the early stage of Nascent Soul?
Hiding so deeply, and now revealing it.
How could she possibly survive?
Leng Qingtao took a deep breath and said, "I can return to the First Branch and serve you for life."
Gu An took a step forward expressionlessly, shimmering like golden light, and then arrived in front of Leng Qingtao.
He then grabbed her neck with one hand, lifting her up.
"Serve me?" Gu An looked at the struggling figure before him and shook his head slightly, "I never needed your service.
If you had the ability to escape, I would never have thought of hunting you down.
Having already escaped, why come back and force my hand?
"I, I can do a lot," Leng Qingtao said with difficulty, "I am a woman, perhaps Senior lacks a maid to pour tea and water."
"Pour tea and water?" Gu An looked at her and spoke calmly.
But his hand did not stop, instead, he used more and more force.
At this moment, Leng Qingtao was almost unable to breathe, and the strength in her body was also suppressed.
The strength of the person in front of her far exceeded her own, and she could not resist at all.
Faced with his question, she said with difficulty, "Yes, I can do anything."
"Perhaps in the next life, you know too much in this life." Saying that, Gu An exerted force again in her horrified gaze.
Bang!
Blood splattered under the moonlight.
Leng Qingtao felt a sharp pain in her body.
Finally, she completely lost consciousness.
She had imagined countless ways she might die, but never thought she would die like this.
If she had known Gu An was so powerful, she wouldn't have dared to be his enemy, even with ten times the courage.
Throwing her on the ground, Gu An looked at the lifeless body, wondering if she would regret it.
If she had known of his strength earlier, she probably wouldn't have become his enemy.
But knowing it, how could he have allowed her to live?
He was never a good person anyway.
He had never thought of targeting these people.
If they hadn't provoked him, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to become their enemy.
But sometimes, the world is like this.
Whose fault is it?
Were they wrong?
Gu An retracted his gaze and released the Crimson-Armored Soldiers to clean up the scene.
Watching them being dealt with, Gu An knew that from his perspective, they were indeed wrong.
But from another person's perspective, he was also a heinous villain.
So, right and wrong are not that important.
It's just that this world is like this, it's either you die or I live.
After collecting the two's storage treasures, Gu An came to Chen Changfeng's side.
Looking at the Nirvana Dao Scripture automatically operating on his body, Gu An sighed: "Breakthrough in the face of battle, countless opportunities,
Blood boiling, injuries healed.
A genius among geniuses.
This child must not be kept alive."
Such a genius is definitely not a peaceful person.
If he asked him to do something, it would bring many troubles.
And such a person will sooner or later be like a rising star, eventually illuminating the world.
When the battlefield was cleaned up, Gu An released the Imprisoning Ground.
Looking at the moonlight in the sky.
And then looked at Chen Changfeng lying on the ground.
Hesitating for a moment, Gu An took Chen Changfeng away from the spot, and finally stopped at a place further away, waiting by the official road.
By the way, he checked the storage treasures.
Leng Qingtao had just come out of the First Branch not long ago, and she was very short on money.
One thousand spirit stones, plus some pills.
But Old Ji was rich, with sixty thousand spirit stones.
And a guqin, which must be the lost one.
Other than that, there were only some ordinary pills.
There were also techniques, but they were normal techniques of the Heavenly Wind Palace.
The First Branch had plenty of these.
Gu An didn't take it to heart.
However, this time out, his somewhat dry storage treasure became rich again.
Calculating it, it was actually as high as ninety-eight thousand.
Earning spirit stones, is it this fast?
All thanks to the strong support of the seniors in the cultivation world,
After tidying up the storage treasures, Gu An sealed some things.
This way, he wouldn't have to worry about anyone peeking into his storage treasures.
After all, the Twelve Stars of Sui Chen, others cannot peep into them.
And he can seal things inside.
Currently, he is using the first star, Sheti.
Although the sealing power of the second star has become stronger after his cultivation has improved.
But it is not as stable and lasting as the first star.
The second star is best used to seal divine trees or something.
Gu An sensed that there was no one else nearby.
Also, Zhang San didn't know where he went.
The other party did hold back that old thing.
The mid-stage Returning Void, his cultivation was not at its peak when he came.
I'm afraid Zhang San had other tricks up his sleeve and injured him.
In addition, the other party was also careless, which gave himself a chance.
Otherwise, how could it have been so easy to kill him?
It was by taking advantage of that moment of advantage that he decisively killed him.
Otherwise, he would have suffered.
Of course, the Qi Sea Heavenly Gang was also released by him at the first moment.
And with the help of the Azure Lotus Profound Yellow Scripture.
Only then was he able to retreat completely tonight.
Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Ultimately, he was still too weak.
He needs to go back and improve his cultivation.
This matter here needs to be resolved as soon as possible.
After hesitating for a moment, he cast a spell to open Zhang San's bracelet and seal.
Let's just say this transaction is completed.
In this way, Gu An waited by the road.
Until it was almost dawn, a caravan came over.
Gu An spent some money and got on their carriage.
It was in the last carriage.
Inside the carriage was a child and an old man.
The little boy looked at Gu An and the others, a little shy.
Perhaps because he had just woken up.
Gu An didn't want to enter the city directly, fearing that there were still people guarding in the dark.
If they were enemies, he could still take action, but if they weren't enemies, it would be bad.
"Are you two young masters also going to the academy?" At this time, the old man took the initiative to speak.
Gu An nodded slightly: "Are you also, old man?"
Hearing this, the old man smiled and said, "I plan to send my grandson in, I don't know if the academy will accept him."
Gu An turned to look at the little boy beside him, and found that the other party seemed to have mediocre aptitude.
I don't know if he can enter the academy.
"He will, he looks smart," Gu An said a good word.
After that, he chatted with the old man along the way, just chatting casually.
They didn't discuss anything important.
However, from their mouths, Gu An only heard good things about the Heavenly Sun Sect, Heavenly Wind Palace, and Hua Ling Valley.
And only bad things about the Azure Wood Sect.
They said the Azure Wood Sect was selfish and harmed countless people for its own benefit.
It was a wicked and demonic sect deserving of death.
"The Azure Wood Sect are all bad people," the child also said at this time.
Gu An was slightly surprised, not expecting even a child to think of the Azure Wood Sect as an utterly heinous sect.
But had the Azure Wood Sect done anything that defied heaven and reason?
After the sect became a demonic sect, the management was even stricter than before.
Although indiscriminate killing of innocents was not strictly prohibited, it was easy to be liquidated by the Law Enforcement Hall.
There was no need, and no one dared to do such a stupid thing.
Pang Wen had also inquired about it during his mission.
The Azure Wood Sect had rarely been in contact with the outside world recently, mostly just fighting with various sects.
After that, Gu An also cooperated with them and cursed a bit.
After dawn, the caravan arrived in front of the city.
The child felt a little hungry and took out a candy wrapped in oil paper.
Gu An looked over, he had never eaten candy from this world.
The child looked at Gu An's gaze, hesitated, and finally seemed to make up his mind, taking out the smallest piece and saying, "I'll give it to you, I wouldn't give it to anyone else."
Hearing this, Gu An took it with a smile and solemnly thanked him.
Then he took out an ordinary pill that enhanced physical fitness from his body and handed it over, saying, "I also have candy here, I'll trade with you."
The other party happily took it.
Then he ate it in one bite.
The old man was watching from the side and was about to stop him, but it was too late.
Gu An didn't care either, and examined the candy.
It was slightly yellow.
Then he put it in his mouth.
It was sweet with a hint of bitterness.
"Is it very sweet?" the child asked expectantly.
Gu An nodded slightly, looking at the other party: "Very sweet."
The child smiled, feeling very satisfied with this answer.
After entering the city, Gu An got off the carriage and waved goodbye to them.
Watching them leave, feeling the taste of candy in his mouth.
Gu An suddenly understood that the bitterness he felt was a rare sweetness in the perception of others.
For a time, Gu An felt that he had a better understanding of his own blade.
It seemed that he was faintly about to comprehend the trend of the second blade of humanity.
Not only that, he felt that his understanding of the seven emotions and six desires was becoming more and more profound.
At the same time, he was also more and more able to control his emotions.
Questioning a certain emotion, understanding a certain emotion, transforming into a certain emotion, and finally achieving certain emotions.
Finally, Gu An casually found an inn to stay in.
That night, Chen Changfeng woke up.
Because Gu An fed him pills, allowing him to recover faster.
At this time, Chen Changfeng got up and shouted anxiously, "Dean, run away!"
Gu An felt melancholy in his heart.
He could understand other people's suffering and joy, but he couldn't understand Chen Changfeng's thoughts.
Even in his dreams, he had to worry about himself?
He was really just an ordinary disciple, with no kindness or virtue towards him.
Clarifying the surrounding situation and seeing Gu An, Chen Changfeng was a little wrong: "Dean, are you dead too?"
Gu An was silent, for a moment he wanted to pour himself a cup of tea.
Unfortunately, he didn't have the habit of drinking tea, and there was no tea in the house.
It seemed that he had to listen to Chu Meng in the future, prepare tea, and then at certain times, he could splash people.
"Not dead, you're lucky, when you were about to die, you were saved by a passing senior," Gu An said, pointing to the guqin beside Chen Changfeng: "This is what that senior left behind, presumably it's the treasure lost by the Heavenly Wind Palace."
"If you get better, go find out what's going on with the academy."
In fact, Gu An had already explored with the Blood Spirit.
The people there had discovered the underground palace, and now only a few guards were left behind.
The rest of the people had gone to the underground palace.
As for making things difficult for the Azure Wood Sect.
How could they have such thoughts.
As for what kind of underground palace it was, Gu An didn't know yet.
He didn't have the idea of entering either.
In addition, this news had already been sent back, and strong people would arrive soon.
He had to leave as soon as possible.
Let Chen Changfeng hand over the treasure to the person in charge there, and then the rest to the people of the Azure Wood Sect.
He could then retire successfully.
Complete the task.
Chen Changfeng was a little dazed.
It seemed that things had changed a little quickly.
How could he suddenly be fine and get the treasure.
It seemed that this mission was completed.
Then he curiously asked, "Where's Zhang San?"
"It seems that he fought with a strong man and didn't know where he went, and didn't hear about his situation," Gu An said half-truthfully. Now Zhang San was indeed nowhere to be found, and all the suppression at that time had been lifted for the other party.
It could be said that there was no need to come back at all.
Zhang San was not a stupid person either.
The seriously injured him was probably already far away.
He had done enough.
At least Gu An felt that this mission would be difficult without the other party.
And in the end, he delayed so much time for himself.
That was enough.
His strength was there.
It was indeed a bit difficult for him to deal with a Returning Void mid-stage.
Chen Changfeng nodded, and then asked about the general situation.
Gu An also briefly informed him.
Let him know the current situation.
Also let him understand that he came back, but no one protected him, so he didn't dare to go to the gathering place.
He could only wait for the other party to wake up and do things.
In this regard, Chen Changfeng patted his chest and said that he guaranteed to complete the task.
That night, the other party left, taking the treasure and Gu An's letter to the gathering place.
However, the other party went for a whole night, which surprised Gu An.
He still wanted to wait for the other party to come back and leave overnight.
Noon the next day.
Gu An looked at the book, a little wrong.
It was noon and he hadn't come back yet.
But he really didn't notice any signs of fighting.
Could it be that Chen Changfeng ran away?
If that was really the case, then it was a double blessing.
All of a sudden, he dealt with a thorny person.
Gu An decided to wait for a day, and if the other party didn't come back tomorrow, he would leave directly.
However, that evening, Chen Changfeng came back.
With an excited face: "Dean, guess what I brought back?"
Gu An was puzzled: "What?"
"Last night I saw them all going to the underground palace, so I followed them in," Chen Changfeng said seriously.
Gu An was stunned, thinking of the Nirvana Dao Sutra and Fire Phoenix Spirit Egg that Chen Changfeng brought back.
He had a feeling that something bad was going to happen.
However, before he could stop him, Chen Changfeng took out a strange box, a crimson sword, and a black robe.
Gu An:
Take it away, I don't want it.
It didn't look like anything ordinary, if it was the same as the Nirvana Dao Sutra, where would he be able to bear it?
Sure enough, he shouldn't have waited.
He should have gone back by himself, and then he couldn't let Chen Changfeng return to the First Academy.
This great Buddha, the First Academy can't accommodate.
