Chapter 714 - 434: He Took His Own Life and Returned to Heaven — 2
And thus ends the battle.
"Fellow daoist, you’ve misunderstood." One of the elders said earnestly: "When did we ever intend to make you our enemy? If we remember correctly, today is our first meeting, right?
We have our own goals, but absolutely no intention of being hostile or creating conflict with anyone.
However, many people covet our possessions.
Too many people want us dead.
Fellow daoist, you may have been used by someone.
We must ask ourselves, what have we done?"
Upon hearing this, Gu An looked at them and said, "Did I misunderstand you then?"
"It seems so." The elder sighed, "We are people of the Royal Family, and we came to investigate the Zhuanlun lineage. They plan to sacrifice everyone on the ship.
Perhaps you were used by them."
"I was used by them?" Gu An looked at them in disbelief, "You are people of the Royal Family?"
"Indeed, I am a Commander of the Imperial Palace Guard." The middle-aged man, lying in a pool of blood, spoke with difficulty.
Gu An showed hesitation: "Do you have evidence?"
"We do, I’ll show it to you." Saying this, the elder immediately took something out from his belt.
He was about to unfold it for Gu An to see.
Meanwhile, as the others saw Gu An’s gaze on the elder’s hand, they no longer hesitated and activated the array with full force.
It’s now, kill him!
In an instant, a white-hot light illuminated the entire room.
Yet at the same time, Gu An’s Flying Snow was also ready.
Then a finger snapped.
Bang!
Two forces like hurricanes collided together.
Both sides seemed somewhat surprised at the other’s rapid response.
Rumble!
In an instant, the room shattered, wooden debris turning to dust.
At this moment, Flying Snow pierced through the white-hot light like a sharp sword.
Crack!
Bang!
The white-hot light started to shatter and disintegrate.
At first, it was slow, but within a breath, the speed at which the white-hot light shattered began to increase.
Then the fragments of Flying Snow pierced thoroughly inside.
Rumble!
The light disintegrated, and the array in the room shattered with a loud noise.
Pfft!
Flying Snow pierced through the Immortal at the forefront.
As she was about to do something, Gu An’s figure had already appeared in front of her.
In an instant, she felt a sense of sorrow.
Then the world began to spin.
The elder exclaimed in surprise, magic erupted and burst forth.
Gu An’s body surged with Qi Sea Sky Gang, thunder roaring.
Swiftly, with a palm striking down.
Rumble!
Innate Thunder struck the opponent’s body.
Causing the body to shatter, the Primordial Spirit to be obliterated.
The last standing young man, Qi-Blood surging, was about to escape.
However, a spear appeared, hurled out.
Nailing him directly to the wall.
He looked at the approaching Gu An in terror, pleading: "Spare me, senior, we meant no offense, they wanted to kill you, it’s nothing to do with me."
Pfft!
A blade sealed the throat.
Qi Sea Sky Gang shattered his Primordial Spirit.
Thus Gu An, holding the Chasing Sun, looked at the three fallen on the ground.
Initially, the two were already heavily injured due to their inadequate cultivation.
As for the middle-aged man, he was heavily injured by Gu An.
He looked at Gu An somewhat in shock and said, "Who exactly are you?"
"Zuo Youyan." Gu An looked calmly at the other party and said:
"You wanted to sacrifice me, yet you wouldn’t refund my Spirit Stones for me to leave, so I had to come find you."
The middle-aged man was utterly bewildered.
Who is this person?
Zuo Youyan?
The one the Third Prince is wary of?
He couldn’t comprehend why the other party was so powerful.
Moreover, with such strength, who would dare not let him leave?
Who withheld his Spirit Stones?
Suddenly he remembered, he had ordered people to tell anyone wanting a Spirit Stone refund to wait for twenty days.
Forcing people to stay on the ship, waiting to be sacrificed.
The plan was all good, but he never expected to encounter such a troublesome figure.
"What’s your cultivation?" the middle-aged man asked out of curiosity.
"Immortal Bridge First Level," Gu An answered.
The middle-aged man fell silent.
Would he still lie to the dead?
He wondered if the person in front had ignited the Three Flowers.
Otherwise, why did he lose so quickly even with the array’s support?
The other party seems not experienced enough, but.....
Too fast.
There wasn’t even a chance for him to use his experience to defeat the opponent.
"Blood Heaven Reincarnation is your plan?" Gu An slowly spoke.
Hearing this, the middle-aged man’s pupils contracted, somewhat incredulous, "How do you know?"
"Is there anyone else besides you?" Gu An calmly asked.
"Yes." The middle-aged man nodded immediately.
At the moment his voice fell, Gu An swung a blade across.
Directly finishing off the other party.
The two who were originally observing the situation were both stunned.
The middle-aged man was even more bewildered, somewhat unable to comprehend.
"He said there are others, where are they?" Gu An walked towards the other two and asked.
The two remained silent for a moment and said, "The Royal Family’s people."
"Besides Ji Qichen, is there anyone else?" Gu An asked.
For a moment, those two were at a loss.
Unable to understand how much the person in front of them knew.
The two hesitated briefly, "There are two more people, one is Gu An from the Cangmu Sect, he is also one of ours, and his wife, the Commandery Princess of Prince Ming Xian, is also one of the masterminds."
Gu An was stunned for a moment, then killed the person.
Then instructed the Red Armor Soldier to clear the battlefield.
Picking up four storage treasures, Gu An walked outside.
There were still two storage treasures unaccounted for.
Not sure if they were blown away by the explosion just now.
But the commotion on the twelfth floor did not alert other places.
The place was well-sealed.
The Immortal Ship lived up to its name.
Gu An went to the next room and saw Chu Meng sitting at the table eating peanuts and drinking tea.
"Senior, aren’t you worried that I won’t be able to beat them?" Gu An walked over and asked.
Chu Meng slightly raised an eyebrow, looking at Gu An said:
"People you can’t beat normally, are you going to understand them in the first half of the night and kill them in the second half?"
Gu An was silent for a moment, at a loss for how to respond.
The prejudice of the human heart is indeed like a mountain.
Wasn’t it Chu Meng who reminded me to come over?
"Just now those inside said the Commandery Princess is the mastermind." Gu An started to speak.
As he said this, he sat down but didn’t eat.
Instead, he began to look through the storage treasures.
"The Commandery Princess is plotting against you from afar? You should reflect on whether you’re a bad fiancé." Chu Meng casually replied.
Gu An was taken aback, then said, "Didn’t senior marry in her place?"
Chu Meng poured himself a cup of tea and said, "So why would the Commandery Princess harm you?"
Gu An decided not to discuss this.
The Zhuanlun lineage is full of lies, he didn’t believe a word.
He just chatted casually just now.
He took a simple look at the storage treasures and found these people had quite a few Spirit Stones, but the Spirit Stones for the ship tickets were not in their pockets.
The three storage treasures combined were only four hundred and thirty thousand Spirit Stones.
This time, Gu An confiscated the Spirit Stones without sharing them with Chu Meng.
These were the Spirit Stones for returning home.
Plus the few thousands on himself.
Five hundred thousand was finally saved up.
After all, there are still many good people.
As Gu An was about to speak, suddenly a light emanated from inside.
Gu An immediately stood up, and Chasing Sun appeared in his hand.
He had just checked and confirmed there were no problems before coming out.
Why was there a light now?
"Is it an array?" Chu Meng also stood up and said.
Gu An was slightly surprised, then went inside to check.
Found indeed there was an array in the room, emitting a faint light.
But the array was not fully operational, it was waiting for a response.
Even though Gu An didn’t study arrays much, he understood that it could be activated with some spiritual energy.
"Someone is probably trying to contact this side." Chu Meng glanced a few more times and said.
Gu An thought for a moment, then said, "It should be that prince."
Then he slowly approached the array and activated it.
A blurry figure appeared.
From the looks of it, he must appear blurry to the other side as well.
"I just sensed the ship vibrating. Did something happen?" The voice of the Third Prince came through from the other side.
Somewhat worried.
Gu An was silent for a moment then said, "Something did happen."
Upon hearing this, the other side paused and said, "You changed your voice?"
Gu An suddenly laughed and said, "No."
"No?" the other side was suspicious.
"Hmm, just changed the person." Gu An replied.
The other side was silent for a moment and said, "What do you mean?"
Gu An seriously said, "The one who was supposed to contact you suddenly had a conscience and committed suicide."
This time the silence on the other side was even longer, and after a while, they finally asked, "Who are you?"
Gu An chuckled and said, "Zuo Youyan."
