Chapter 726 - 440: Even the Nine Heavens Divine Monarch Isn’t as Arrogant as You (Part 2)
"Did you save the world in your past life?"
Gu An felt unworthy of such a notion.
Someone like him, how could he manage to save the world?
That was far too dangerous.
Such matters should be left to the Heavenly Pride; they have fame and purpose.
He genuinely admired those kinds of people.
Good people.
Who doesn’t like them?
Being a Demon Sect Disciple, the thing most needed is the Immortal Sect Disciple maintaining the balance of the world.
If the world is unstable, how could they, the Demon Sect Disciples, live in peace and protect their interests?
"Shall we set off now?" Gu An felt that they shouldn’t delay.
Chu Meng had no objections.
However, as they were about to leave, a respectful voice came from behind: "Please hold on, dear Seniors."
Gu An turned to look and saw two people approaching from afar.
They were two men, one appeared to be in his early twenties, and the other around thirty, both were Returning to Void Experts.
As they approached, they respectfully saluted.
"Fang Shuheng of the Purple Mist Sect."
"Song Chen of the Purple Mist Sect."
"Greetings to the Seniors."
Though the two were not very imposing, they were quite respectful.
Fang Shuheng, who looked to be in his early twenties, was at the Late Stage Returning to Void.
Song Chen, who seemed to be about thirty, was at the Returning to Void Perfection.
However, the latter appeared to be reticent.
The younger Fang Shuheng took the lead.
Gu An didn’t mind; he merely looked at them with curiosity and said, "Is there something you need?"
"Are the Seniors heading to the Snowfield Mountain Range?" Fang Shuheng asked.
Gu An thought for a moment and said, "Are you also going?"
"Regarding the Red Eye Clan, we know quite a lot. So, if the Seniors are interested, we could guide you there," Fang Shuheng said earnestly.
Gu An pondered a bit, thinking that having someone to guide them wouldn’t be a bad idea.
Moreover, whatever the Nine Heavens Divine Monarch left behind should be within that area.
Being one of the five major orthodox sects, the influence of the Purple Mist Sect was vast, making their investigations extremely convenient.
Finally, Gu An nodded and said, "Alright."
Upon hearing this, the two were delighted: "When do the Seniors plan to depart?"
"Now," Gu An replied.
Hearing this, the two were somewhat surprised, initially thinking the Senior would delay for a couple of days, not expecting such promptness.
Thereafter, the four of them departed together.
Toward the Snowfield Mountain Range.
The four of them flew by Sword Control, exchanging looks with Fang Shuheng.
The reason they reached out to Gu An and the others.
Was naturally because they were also at the location of the West Square.
They had quite a bit of sentiment towards the Red Eye Clan.
Upon entering that place, they had suffered significant casualties.
If it weren’t for the initial caution, perhaps the casualties would have been greater.
Yet even so, it was quite a blow.
That place had some degree of suppression over them, yet it was hard to know specifics.
They dared not send too many people, proceeding only slowly.
Hearing that someone had brought a Red Eye Clan member out surprised them, hence they went first thing.
If true, they were definitely going to seal the Red Eye Clan’s corpse.
Bring it back and report.
However, the unexpected came abruptly.
Suddenly someone disrupted the arena, subsequently capturing a Red Eye Clan member and instantly refining it.
As for the slain individuals, they had already reported to the City Lord.
Also, compensated with some items, so for the moment, everything was fine.
The aftermath remained unknown.
After all, she was someone the other side held dear, easily leading to irrational decisions fueled by anger.
But now that they have left, there should not be any great changes.
"How should I address the Senior?" Fang Shuheng asked cautiously.
Gu An looked at him calmly and replied, "What do you think I should be called?"
At this point, Gu An was rather helpless.
Surely he was now the Nine Heavens Divine Monarch.
But what should the Nine Heavens Divine Monarch be called?
He couldn’t simply say it was Nine Heavens, right?
Therefore, he inquired about the other person’s opinion.
Upon hearing this, Fang Shuheng was dumbfounded.
He strongly wished to ask whether the Senior had heard the question he was asking.
At this point, Song Chen beside him said, "Previously, at the square, the Senior referred to yourself as Tian, should we call you Senior Tian?"
Gu An sighed and said, "I am ranked ninth."
"Senior Ninth," they replied respectfully in unison.
Gu An nodded slightly, thinking to stick to that for now.
"Senior Ninth, did you encounter the Red Eye Clan at the West Square?" Fang Shuheng queried with curiosity.
Gu An nodded: "In the coffin? Yes, indeed."
"How did the Senior instantly refine it?" Fang Shuheng asked excitedly.
If it can be instantly refined, it can also be instantly slain.
Such was what they needed.
Otherwise, over at the mountain range, they would always be on the defensive.
Certainly, there must be some method to thin their numbers.
Gu An looked at him and simply said, "You can’t learn it."
Fang Shuheng felt somewhat disheartened, thinking that although he couldn’t learn it, surely someone could.
His fellow disciples were Heavenly Prides.
Surely they could learn it?
They could completely afford the Spirit Stone resources.
Song Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "Senior, I heard at the square about the Nether Sea Clan; is this the Red Eye Clan’s true name?"
Gu An looked at the man beside him and finally nodded, saying, "Yes."
"Can the Senior deal with them?" Song Chen further asked.
Gu An nodded.
Song Chen immediately said, "Recently, our Purple Mist Sect has been dealing with the Red Eye Clan. May we have the honor of requesting Senior’s assistance? We can provide ample compensation."
Leading with Spirit Stones, Gu An felt that the person before him was indeed eloquent.
Things like spirit stones are somewhat formal.
The main intent was to understand the specifics of the Nether Sea Clan.
However, he brought up a requirement for detailed maps of the mountain range.
Such would allow him to quickly find the place the Nine Heavens Divine Monarch left behind.
"Thank you, Senior. Once we return, we’ll arrange an introduction for you," Fang Shuheng said joyously.
Gu An remained vigilant.
After all, the Star Spirit Pearl on him was running low.
What would they look like if they knew that the Star Spirit Clan was about to explode?
And whether they would still journey with him.
To keep them from worrying, Gu An had no plans to inform them.
...
On the edge of the Snowfield Mountain Range.
Qingshuang stood atop the Immortal Boat, frowning as she gazed downward: "Still haven’t thoroughly investigated?"
The Immortal beside her shook her head: "There are many Red Eye Clan guards. We’ve had several skirmishes yet still cannot discern the suppression array.
However, there is plentiful collected information, and soon there may be a way to counter the suppression."
Qingshuang felt uneasy; how could the Nether Sea Clan appear suddenly here, and just the outskirts were so challenging to handle.
Though they could charge directly with great power.
But the interior remained unknown.
If it’s connected to the Sealing, forceful entry might mean releasing it.
In such a case, the already burdened Purple Mist Sect might crumble into pieces.
"Has the captured confessed?" Qingshuang asked.
The Immortal shook her head: "Our people couldn’t manage, various Secret Techniques also failed. But we’ve started an external recruitment, hoping to find a capable individual.
Let’s hope we encounter one soon."
"Find any of those who escaped?" Qingshuang inquired.
"In Wangyuan City, someone has been dispatched," the Immortal said earnestly. "Is such caution necessary? Just one escaped."
Qingshuang sighed: "I’ve already informed you of this clan’s specifics. Better to err on the side of caution than to allow them a chance at resurgence."
Once people left, Qingshuang sighed again.
Now she was eager to open the Divine Monarch Hall.
The appearance of the Nether Sea Clan exceeded her expectations.
She hadn’t imagined there indeed was a Nether Sea Clan here, and formidable at that.
With each being incredibly powerful.
Moreover, the presence of other spaces within was undeniable, demanding her attention.
It was regrettable that they couldn’t penetrate the interior.
Furthermore...
The captured Nether Sea Clan members refused to speak.
Interrogations in the Divine Monarch Hall had been conducted, and she wanted to inquire further.
Perhaps gaining inside information.
Once that is known, enough force can be amassed to annihilate them completely.
If it exceeded her capacity, she’d require additional support from the Divine Monarch Hall.
Also, the Nine Heavens Divine Monarch had promised to visit, yet there’s no knowing when.
And it’s uncertain how much he has recovered or if he can deal with the Nether Sea Clan.
