After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 57 - Assassinate Her
57: Chapter 57 Assassinate Her
57 -57 Assassinate Her
Ren Shan’s matter had passed, and Gu An finally exhaled in relief.
But he still had to be alert for any unexpected developments.
Seven days later.
Early April.
All had been peaceful.
Especially today, it was the day for resource distribution.
Unlike before, he demonstrated the strength of the Qi Refining Seventh Layer.
Few would come to “borrow” Spirit Stones from him now.
The seven days had not brought much change to the numbers.
To advance, the end of the month was needed.
If luck was not on his side, perhaps early May.
Of course, if he could continue logging, then maybe by mid-this month he could attempt to advance.
But the Sect did not allow ceaseless logging, at least not in the Qingyang Wood Area.
Today, after Gu An collected his resources, he returned to his dwelling first.
By the pond, he looked at the Big Eye Fish.
It was still leisurely turning its belly up.
Seemingly, not many people came here.
The arrival of Chu Meng made him realise the Big Eye Fish’s role.
The moment outsiders approached, it would hide away.
Other uses were unknown for now.
It liked to eat the Gang Qi of the Qi Sea Sky Gang.
And the second part of Qi Sea Sky Gang had to be exchanged at the Merit Hall.
Gu An inquired about it and was surprised that it was no cheaper than a Foundation Establishment Technique.
Gu An calculated how long it would take him to exchange for it.
Suddenly, the Luck Cycle gave feedback.
He dared not delay and immediately checked the content.
“Yesterday at noon, Qing Chenxi received a task, and she learned that tonight at midnight, she would wait at an ancient temple outside the city for others to arrive; once everyone was together, they would set off.
This task has been her long-term plan, once successful, upon her return, she would reach the Foundation Establishment.
To ensure everything was foolproof, she had her confidants watch you, unwilling to let any harm befall you, waiting to personally take you away upon her return to interrogate you about Ren Shan’s matter.
By the way, to take revenge for her two subordinates, no matter how people died, the final hatred must fall on you.
Once a person dies, there must be an explanation; your life will serve as the explanation to others.”
Reading the content from the Ring of Destiny, Gu An was somewhat surprised.
Qing Chenxi was about to establish her foundation.
And she would come looking for him once she succeeded.
Although he knew that he was being watched, he didn’t expect her to take direct action.
Was she not afraid of being targeted by the Law Enforcement Hall?
She must have someone backing her.
When there is support, one becomes less cautious, especially since he himself was of an older age, forty-some years old.
With average cultivation and older age, few would help him.
Even if he died, the Sect might not know about it in a short time.
Just like Ren Shan’s departure.
Only those who paid attention to her knew about her disappearance.
Others didn’t even know when one less person was in the Sect.
Even if there were strict people in the Law Enforcement Hall, they still needed to be aware of the situation first.
Gu An calmed his mind.
No matter what, he had to stay cool first.
After pondering for a moment, he realised he still had some time.
If he could also reach Foundation Establishment before she returned.
Then the danger would be lifted.
But it would take at least two or three months for him to advance, and that was only if he had the techniques.
Without them, who knows how long the delay might be.
So how long would Qing Chenxi need to complete her task?
Several months?
Gu An did not know, but was it worth the gamble?
Foundation Establishment was far away, and if she returned within a month, it would be too late for anything.
There was only one other path left.
Gu An’s eyes revealed coldness and resolve: “Ambush her.”
He had thought he was already moving quickly enough in the upcoming days, but who would have imagined the opponent wasn’t slow either.
Originally planning to act after reaching Qi Refining Ninth Layer, now he couldn’t wait any longer.
Qi Refining Eighth Layer combined with Qi Sea Sky Gang and Mountain Opening Fist, even if he couldn’t kill the opponent, he would injure her and disrupt her plans. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
As long as Qing Chenxi does not reach Foundation Establishment in these few months, I will have an opportunity.
Taking a deep breath.
Gu An began to calculate his odds of winning.
A Perfect Mountain Opening Fist enhanced by Qi Sea Sky Gang would definitely injure the opponent.
To what degree, that’s uncertain.
And the Defense Talisman could block one or two attacks.
Thinking this, he took out a small shield.
This was Ren Shan’s shield, which could perhaps also block one attack.
He had already refined the shield before, its defensive capabilities were present but not very strong.
After all, something was better than nothing.
He then checked his Elixir Pills.
Nothing very useful, might as well buy some poison to see.
Gu An dared not delay, heading to the workshop.
Qing Chenxi would be at her destination waiting for someone at midnight, he had to get there as early as possible.
If others arrived first, he would have to find a way to ambush Qing Chenxi midway.
After looking around, Gu An found that the poison’s effects weren’t very good and required some time.
Especially for a cultivator at the Ninth Level of Qi Refining.
But Gu An still spent some Spirit Stones to buy poison.
He bought some more Defense Talismans.
Now was not the time to be stingy with Spirit Stones.
After spending a considerable amount of Spirit Stones.
Gu An finally left the workshop and the Sect.
While buying, he had already inquired, there was only one ancient temple outside the city.
It had been abandoned for some time, said to have been relocated from its previous location.
When Gu An arrived, he found the place quite large, observing from the rooftop, it was indeed void of people.
He then chose a higher ground, concealed himself, and waited for Qing Chenxi.
If she could arrive before the others, it would be advantageous for him.
If not, he would have to think of another plan.
The sky gradually darkened, Gu An sat cross-legged, recovering to his best condition.
The bright moon hung high.
As it neared midnight, Gu An heard a noise.
Turning his head, he saw two figures approaching the ancient temple.
Seeing this, his heart sank.
Two people…
He had no hope.
After approaching, he hid in the darkness of the night, recognizing Qing Chenxi and a female.
He didn’t rush but began to wait.
There’s no chance to make a move now, so he waited for the opportunity.
“How long will it take for senior sister to return?” Zheng Xiu asked.
“A short as seven days, as long as one month,” Qing Chenxi said as she entered the temple and started a fire.
“When will the other senior brothers and sisters come?” Zheng Xiu asked.
Qing Chenxi looked at the person in front of her and said seriously: “They just completed their tasks and will thus be coming later.
During this time, keep an eye on Gu An, and if there’s a chance, handle it yourself to inquire about Ren Shan’s situation.
Remember, unless you succeed, do not act rashly.
Don’t send people to harass him either; it will only make him more vigilant.
If he becomes desperate, unpredictable things will happen.”
“Don’t worry, senior sister, I’ve specifically investigated this Gu An, he’s just from a remote place like Mu Lin, has no background, and is not capable of much.
Just someone who joined the Sect in his forties.
People like him have to wag their tails like dogs when they meet us outside,” Zheng Xiu said with a smile.
“Do not underestimate him.
Being able to join the Sect at forty is not simple,” Qing Chenxi said with a smile:
“However, he won’t take sides.
How can one stay out of Sect matters?
Really thinks a single person can rise?
When I return, I will get to see his regrets before death.”
“Senior sister is truly merciful,” Zheng Xiu said admiringly with a smile.
Qing Chenxi shook her head and said, “You better go back first, we can’t afford mistakes in this period.”
“Okay, I’ll leave senior sister then,” said Zheng Xiu as she stepped away.
A long time after Zheng Xiu left, Qing Chenxi suddenly heard some noises.
Suddenly, a flash of sword light came.
“Who’s there?” she shouted angrily as her Ninth Level of Qi Refining aura burst forth.
