Chapter 743 - 449: Now That You Are an Immortal Bridge Expert, I Should Pay My Respects to You
Gu An couldn’t understand why this situation occurred.
The cultivation he painstakingly accumulated was just overshadowed like this.
Even when fully displayed, it wasn’t enough.
Is this something a person would do?
It’s simply pushing him to his death.
What grudge or resentment could cause the other party to do such a thing?
Originally, he thought obtaining the Bronze Tripod would allow him to safely hide within the Sect.
But now, the Sect has ironically become a dangerous place.
Although many people treat him with great respect,
no one underestimates him anymore.
Especially those who want to kill him.
Strong individuals at the Three Flowers level.
They are nearly at the pinnacle just below the Immortals.
If someone is targeting him in secret, they might even use an Immortal.
Nowadays, becoming an Immortal is difficult; it really leaves no way out.
With a sigh, Gu An utilized sword control to head for the Law Enforcement Hall.
He needed to claim his thirty-three days of logging time.
The Law Enforcement Hall had promised him three days a month to enter Luo Sheng Hall.
Now it’s been almost a year since he last went.
Accumulating to over thirty days now.
He needed to use this to enhance his cultivation.
Otherwise.....
It would be hard to sleep peacefully.
"Who exactly is it?"
Gu An thought he should ask Chu Meng; perhaps she knows.
Even if she doesn’t know, she has superiors.
There should be some clues.
Law Enforcement Hall.
When Dugu Jing looked at Gu An, his eyes carried some scrutiny.
After a moment of silence, Gu An said, "Does Senior Brother also believe the rumors?"
"I have no choice; it’s being spread everywhere like this." Dugu Jing sighed and said, "I didn’t expect it either that a Junior Brother with Golden Core cultivation is actually an Immortal Bridge strongman.
The Sect has now classified you under the Immortal Bridge."
It’s an assumption.
Junior Brother is undoubtedly the Sect’s number one Heavenly Pride."
Gu An: "..."
The number one Heavenly Pride just appeared out of nowhere.
Dugu Jing chuckled and said, "Junior Brother, no need to worry. Because of these rumors, we have no choice but to elevate the protection for Junior Brother to the Immortal Bridge level.
After all, regardless of the truth, if Junior Brother encounters danger in the future, the baseline will be at the Three Flowers level.
The protection given to Junior Brother before is no longer effective at all."
Hearing this, Gu An was a bit surprised that the Law Enforcement Hall would actually enhance the protection.
This was unexpected.
But he’s not sure what it would be.
He could only wait for the other party to continue speaking.
"For strong individuals at the Three Flowers level, ordinary arrays are already useless, so this time we won’t use arrays for protection and assistance," Dugu Jing said with a smile. "After all, facing the Three Flowers level, cultivation like mine is far from enough.
In the Law Enforcement Hall, only some Senior Brothers and Sisters who don’t travel much have this capability; unfortunately, they’re either in seclusion or on missions.
The few who are available aren’t enough to protect Junior Brother.
So we’ve decided to prepare Magic Treasure Talismans for Junior Brother."
Hearing this, Gu An was surprised. Are there really that many Three Flowers experts in the Law Enforcement Hall?
It’s certainly more than he anticipated.
Doesn’t that mean my Immortal Bridge Fourth Layer is actually quite weak?
His heart felt a blow.
This time back, things aren’t going smoothly.
He doesn’t know who is causing trouble in the shadows.
"These are Teleportation Talismans, ten in total." Dugu Jing pointed with his hand, sending ten talismans into Gu An’s forehead, then explained, "For safety’s sake, all talismans this time are custom-made, integrated into the spirit platform, accessible with a single thought, to prevent Junior Brother from being controlled and unable to move.
The Teleportation Talisman can transport over a long distance ignoring arrays.
You can choose to teleport close to the Sect or randomly.
With ten talismans, within the scope of East Road Ancient State, they’re enough to teleport you to a safe distance.
Additionally, there’s the Ten Directions Spirit Pearl."
As he spoke, a bead entered Gu An’s spirit platform: "The Ten Directions Spirit Pearl can automatically defend against lethal attacks below an Immortal. If Junior Brother is unfortunate enough to lose consciousness, it’ll trigger the Teleportation Talisman for a quick escape towards the Sect.
As long as it’s within the Sect’s array sensing range, the Law Enforcement Hall’s array can detect it, and at that time, they’ll definitely bring Junior Brother back.
Meanwhile, the Ten Directions Spirit Pearl will protect Junior Brother’s heart meridian, keeping him alive.
As long as it’s within the Sect’s range, Junior Brother doesn’t need to worry.
Leave it to the Law Enforcement Hall."
Feeling the treasures within his spirit platform, Gu An fell silent.
This setup is quite exaggerated.
Below an Immortal, he seems absolutely safe.
As long as he doesn’t act recklessly, he can certainly survive.
However, why would the Law Enforcement Hall provide such good things?
What are they after?
Is it for an alliance through marriage? Or something else?
Gu An couldn’t figure it out.
But it doesn’t matter.
At least there’s safety now.
"By the way, don’t randomly use the Teleportation Talismans when there’s no danger; replenishing them requires approval," Dugu Jing reminded. "If the approval doesn’t pass, they can’t be replenished, so Junior Brother must be cautious."
Gu An was startled, so as long as there’s real danger, no matter how many are used, they can be replenished?
For a moment, Gu An felt that the Cangmu Sect is indeed the best Sect.
Though he always felt they had other motives.
At least for now, he is safe.
This time the rumors made it hard for him to sleep and eat, but now it’s somewhat better.
However, he still needs to log quickly and elevate his cultivation.
At the very least, it needs to be higher than the rumors.
These rumors are already ridiculous enough, they won’t continue escalating, right?
Do they really think cultivating requires no time?
Even if they escalate, they won’t have much credibility.
Hesitating, Gu An asked if there’s anything he needs to do.
Dugu Jing shook his head: "Junior Brother doesn’t need to worry; right now, you represent the Sect in marrying into the Royal Family, not only that, but also helping the Sect catch traitors, plus, you’re someone on the Merit List.
Your status and position are high.
Having these things is nothing.
Just as long as Junior Brother doesn’t act recklessly."
Thus, Gu An also breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed there was nothing he needed to do right now.
