When I became a saint, an immortal official summoned me to take care of horses

Chapter 39: Nascent Soul Stage Blocking the Road, Despicable

"What's the big deal?"

Gu An asked with a smile. Today, when he came to the outer sect city, he did feel that the atmosphere was not right. There was an indescribable tension.

Ye Lan opened her mouth and said, "The Sect Master and an elder are fighting for power. Some time ago, the Emperor of the Imperial Dynasty came to the Supreme Mystery Sect and chose that elder's direct disciple as the Imperial Preceptor. He enjoyed the rank of a First Grade Immortal and announced it to the world. This greatly increased the morale of the elder's side, and they even spread unfavorable words about the Sect Master."

Lu Jiujia was one step ahead of her, and there was some resentment in his eyes. When she finished, he quickly added, "The sect master is overbearing and has offended many elders. In the past few years, there have been casualties and demonic invasions in the territory outside the outer sect. Many elders in the sect are dissatisfied with this. Now that there is the support of the emperor, the sect master's opponents will naturally not tolerate this. With such a fight, how can it not be chaotic?"

Gu An asked curiously, "Doesn't the sect master have absolute power? Isn't he the strongest cultivator in the Supreme Mystery Sect?"

"Of course not. The sect master is also jointly elected by the elders. In the Supreme Mystery Sect, the strongest person in terms of cultivation is not the sect master, but the eldest direct disciple. It is said that he is the most talented person in the last thousand years of the Supreme Mystery Sect. He goes out to explore and doesn't return all year round. Anyway, I heard a rumor that if he wants to be the sect master today, he will be the sect master tomorrow at most." Lu Jiujia replied. Speaking of the eldest direct disciple, his tone became excited.

"So powerful? What is his name? "

"Ahem, I don't know yet."

Lu Jiujia coughed, trying to hide his embarrassment.

Ye Lan threw him a supercilious look, then looked at Gu An and whispered, "I did hear a lot of inside stories in the Law Enforcement Hall. The open and secret fights in the sect's main city have spread to the inner and outer sect. Senior brother, you have to be careful in the Profound Valley. Those people will do anything in order to fight for power."

Gu An laughed and said, "It can't be, right? Is there someone who dares to slaughter the Profound Valley and then frame the other party? "

As soon as these words came out, Gu An panicked.

There were already people outside the outer sect raising greedy demons, what else could not happen?

Ye Lan saw his worry and reached out to hold his hand. She comforted, "Senior Brother, don't be afraid. I will think of a way to persuade the Law Enforcement Hall to increase the patrols in the Medicine Valleys of the Outer Sanctum."

Gu An naturally pulled his hand back. He had only been distracted for a moment, and she had actually sneak attacked him.

Alright, actually, he had seen it, but he was afraid that his reaction would be too fast and arouse the suspicion of his junior brothers and sisters.

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

"Compared to me, you have to be more careful. A power struggle like this is much more dangerous than going out to slay demons," Gu An said earnestly.

Lu Jiujia was very confident that he wouldn't die.

Ye Lan said that since she was in the Law Enforcement Hall, no one would dare to touch her.

The Law Enforcement Hall was in charge of all the Halls. Those who joined the Law Enforcement Hall would gain authority over the ordinary disciples. However, the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall did not cultivate as long as the ordinary disciples. If anything happened to the Halls, they would have to take care of it.

Gu An looked at Ye Lan and sighed emotionally in his heart.

It had only been a few years since she left the valley, but Ye Lan had already been reborn. She was no longer the little girl who followed behind him. Now, she was valiant and formidable, making people feel that she was reliable.

The three of them drank and chatted.

Most of the time, it was Lu Jiujia and Ye Lan who were talking. Through their words, Gu An learned a lot about the situation of the Tai Xuan Sect.

He was very pleased that his junior brothers and sisters were taking care of him, which gave him a special sense of accomplishment.

In the future, if the disciples of the Profound Valley were to be scattered in the Outer Hall, or even the Inner Hall, wouldn't he be able to control everything?

Just thinking about it made Gu An excited.

Two hours later, Lu Jiujia left first. Gu An politely declined Ye Lan's invitation to go to her mansion to taste some fine delicacies, and then left the Outer Hall city under her reluctant expression.

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 coming.

On the surface, Gu An's cultivation had reached the Mortal Realm Ninth Stage, so his flying speed was not slow. He admired the rolling mountains and forests along the way.

In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed.

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

He saw a white robed old man coming over on a flying sword with a wine gourd in his hand. His nose was as red as a date, as if he had just drunk.

"Little friend, please wait a moment!"

The white robed old man's voice came. Gu An could feel that the old man was in the Foundation Establishment Realm, but just to be safe, he used a lifespan detection.

[Lin Futian (Level One Nascent Soul Realm): 603/800/840]

Damn!

Nascent Soul Realm!

Gu An secretly cursed the old man for using a secret technique to hide his cultivation level.

The two soon met in the air. Lin Futian said with a kind smile, "Little friend, I am Lin Kun, a disciple of the Outer Hall Law Enforcement Hall. I have something to ask you. Recently, there have been a lot of spies from the Demonic Sect. How about we talk in the forest?"

Gu An nodded. At this time, if he refused, it wouldn't work, so he might as well play it by ear.

The two quickly landed in the forest, and Gu An picked up two leaves on the way.

Lin Futian took a step forward and asked mysteriously, "Little friend, have you heard of Xu Ruye from the Thousand Yin Sect?"

Xu Ruye?

That's too familiar!

I killed him!

Back then, Xu Ruye and Chan Ji had wanted to stay in his Medicine Valley and had even injured Li Ya. How could he forget?

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

"Xu Ruye was a genius of the Thousand Yin Sect. His father was the Vice Hierarch of the Thousand Yin Sect. He died in this area. Recently, many spies of the Thousand Yin Sect have been investigating the cause of his death," Lin Futian stepped forward and said.

Gu An immediately retreated, keeping a distance from him.

Seeing his cautious expression, Lin Futian grinned. "What's wrong? Little friend, you wouldn't suspect that I'm a spy from the Myriad Yin Cult, would you? "

Gu An shook his head and said, "I wouldn't dare. It's just that I've never heard of Xu Ruye. Since Senior is from the Law Enforcement Hall, why do you need to ask me?"

"Hahaha!"

Lin Futian laughed. He suddenly waved his sleeves, and a surge of spiritual power spread out like mist, quickly covering an area of several miles.

Gu An panicked. He raised his sword with his right hand and looked at him nervously.

Lin Futian opened his wine gourd, and an unpleasant smell of alcohol flowed out. He smiled viciously and said, "Don't be afraid. There are 15 of your fellow disciples here with you …"

Gu An gritted his teeth and asked, "Who are you? Where are you from? Even if I die, can't you let me know? "

"Haven't you guessed it already?"

Lin Futian sneered. He raised his hand and grabbed at the air. A powerful spiritual power bound Gu An and pulled him toward him.

Gu An's face was filled with despair. His body flew into the air and quickly flew toward Lin Futian.

Lin Futian grabbed him with his left hand and poured the wine into his mouth with his right hand.

Boom!

In the air, Gu An suddenly exploded with a terrifying aura, instantly dispersing Lin Futian's spiritual power.

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

This leaf was surrounded by sharp Sword Qi. As fast as lightning, it pierced through Lin Futian's forehead. Blood splattered, and the leaf flew away.

Rumble —

The trunks of the giant trees were smashed into pieces one after another. Clouds of dust rose into the air, as if a ten-mile-long gray wall was rising into the air.

Lin Futian's body trembled, and his face was filled with disbelief. He said in shock and anger, "You … hid your cultivation … despicable …"

Gu An stepped in front of him, and the index and middle fingers of his right hand pressed together like a sword against Lin Futian's chest.

Boom!

The Sword Qi exploded, and immediately shattered Lin Futian's body. It also scattered the dust behind him. The trees on both sides fell, and a several-mile-long gully appeared.

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

He flew toward the horizon at full speed. Suddenly, he heard the sound of something breaking through the air.

He instinctively turned his head and saw a leaf flying toward him, destroying his Nascent Soul. A mist of blood bloomed in the air.

Gu An raised his hand and grabbed his flying sword. He stepped forward, and with Sword Qi attached to his body, he turned into a sword shadow and quickly disappeared into the forest.

He didn't rush toward the Xuan Valley. Instead, he went in another direction. On the way, a notification popped up:[You have successfully taken 25 years of Lin Futian's (Nascent Soul Realm first level) lifespan.]It was a bit little, but there was no other way. Although Lin Futian was in the Nascent Soul Realm, he was 603 years old and only had 197 years left to live.

Gu An didn't think too much about it. He took a big detour and then returned to the Xuan Valley as fast as he could.

He jumped into the main hall of the pavilion through the window and sat in front of the table. He raised his right hand and grabbed a jug of wine from the wine cabinet. He began to gulp down the wine.

After a mouthful, he gently put down the jar. His right hand was trembling, and his heart was beating violently.

"Huff … huff …"

Gu An tried to calm down.

It was too damn scary!

He actually ran into a demonic spy when he returned home!

Gu An was worried that he had caused too much of a commotion. He decided to stay in the valley for the next month to avoid trouble.

"No, it's too dangerous … Today, a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator jumped out to block me. Someday, a Soul Formation Realm cultivator might appear, or even higher …"

Gu An quickly called out his status panel. Looking at his 91,000 years of life, he calmed down a little.

The path of cultivation was really dangerous. An ordinary Mortal Realm Level 9 cultivator could be intercepted by a Nascent Soul Realm Level 1 cultivator. Wasn't this scary?

Gu An thought of the 15 souls in the wine gourd and couldn't help but sympathize with them.

Next, he was going to harvest a wave of herbs to reach 100,000 years of life. He wanted to see if he could unlock a new function and then immediately spend his life!

Gu An took a deep breath and took out the Journey of the Green Hero from his chest to distract himself.

As night fell, the disciples outside the window cheered. Gu An used his Divine Sense to investigate. It turned out that Tang Yu and Su Han were practicing while the other disciples were watching.

Normally, he would go down to watch, but he wasn't in the mood now.

He carefully read the Journey of the Green Hero. His heart had calmed down, but he was still worried.

After a while.

The sound of footsteps could be heard and the door was pushed open. Zhen Qin walked in quickly and said, "Master, Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother are fighting!"

Her gaze fell on the cover of Journey of the Green Hero and she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
