After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 67 - You Definitely Killed the Person

67: Chapter 67: You Definitely Killed the Person

67 -67: You Definitely Killed the Person

Under the moonlight.

Zheng Xiu was terrified.

She had just taken charge of the power belonging to their lineage within the Outer Sect.

Moreover, she went to the Ouyang Family and received quite a few benefits.

She had thought that the good times were just around the corner.

But she never expected to be targeted just after leaving the city.

And the other party’s strength should be the same as hers, both at the Ninth Level of Qi Refining.

However, the level of offensive power they possessed could already crush her.

She was extremely careful in the Outer Sect, not daring to offend anyone recklessly.

If she needed to offend someone, she would definitely send someone else to do it.

Why would someone suddenly come out to assassinate her this time?

And they were after her life.

“Senior,” said Zheng Xiu, who was lying on the ground, immediately: “I am willing to work for the senior and serve as your subordinate, and I will swear an oath to the Great Dao right away.”

The other person was walking in the darkness, and although there was no murderous intent on them, their stride did not carry any hint of emotional changes.

It seemed they could kill someone and then simply walk away.

As that person approached, dark clouds also obscured the moonlight.

But in the moment of nearing, Zheng Xiu still saw the face of the person before her.

Gu An met her eyes and couldn’t help but express her sentiment: “Sister guessed it right, I really am about to achieve Foundation Establishment.”

Zheng Xiu never dreamed that the one coming to kill her would be this person.

“Also, Sister almost wronged me,” Gu An said while holding a long sword, before letting it fall.

A pfft sound.

The sword pierced through the opponent’s heart.

Only then did Gu An’s voice continue: “If I weren’t the real killer, Sister would have wronged me.”

The real killer…

So Sister Qing Chenxi, was it really you who killed her?

However, Zheng Xiu simply couldn’t ask this question.

Because she sensed that this sword was not ordinary—it was imbued with Gang Qi that shattered her lifeforce.

Her consciousness gradually blurred.

She felt some regret.

With so many suspects on the list, how did she pick this person?

But soon she could no longer think.

After collecting the opponent’s Storage Treasure, Gu An stabbed a few more times.

Then dropped a Fireball Technique.

After that, she left.

This place was too close to Qingmu City.

Someone would soon come, and it was not advisable to stay longer.

After briefly checking the opponent’s Storage Treasure,

She couldn’t help but feel sentimental.

There are still many kind-hearted people.

Another senior sister was generous enough to know she gave a lot of Spirit Stones to Hua Jiyang, and now she helped to replenish them.

Back at her residence, Gu An glanced at the pond.

The Big Eye Fish was swimming in the pond, seemingly awakened by hunger.

Gu An threw a few peanuts into the water.

They were peanuts imbued with Gang Qi.

The fish had to consume Gang Qi, and it had to be Fog Gang Qi.

She didn’t know why.

But it was because she had applied Gang Qi that she was able to obtain the fish.

She didn’t understand the specifics.

And she dared not to ask.

Although this thing was not of much use at the moment, it could be another story in the future.

She always had to keep some things hidden, waiting for the day to fight back.

Doing work for that woman fairly was not an issue, but being continuously poisoned was no good.

Back in her room, Gu An took out an Array Plate and confirmed that someone had been in the yard.

But they had already left.

“Sure enough, they wanted to kill me, fortunately, I made the first move.”

Thinking this, Gu An sighed with relief.

This time, killing someone at the Ninth Level of Qi Refining did not put much strain on her body.

Compared to the last time, it was much easier.

Nowadays, within the Ninth Level of Qi Refining, there were very few who could be her match.

He also conveniently avoided unnecessary conflicts.

This time he acted, he gained a general awareness of his own strength.

“Having Qi Sea Sky Gang really is extraordinary, but I’m not sure how many among those refining Qi have managed to turn it into Fog Gang Qi.”

He could do it, so naturally others might be able to as well.

However, among those refining Qi except for the older ones, there shouldn’t be anyone who could succeed.

“In the future, when encountering an older Qi Refining Practitioner, I’ll have to be more cautious.”

After adjusting his status, Gu An took out Zheng Xiu’s Storage Treasure.

Inside were two hundred and fifty Spirit Stones.

Some Elixir Pills, some talismans.

There was also a book, a secret book of magic called “Soul-shocking Finger.”

Gu An skimmed through it briefly and found it a bit difficult.

But he could generally understand.

It involved a spiritual attack, creating illusions in the mind, then targeting the fragile psyche.

Used well, it could directly crush the opponent’s spirit, killing them.

At the least, it could cause a setback to their psyche, making recovery difficult.

But that assumes the other person gets hit by it.

Once they break free from the illusion or resist, the technique would be ineffective.

The only good point is that it doesn’t rebound back on the user.

Gu An put away the items.

As for Zheng Xiu’s Spirit Sword, he returned it.

And buried it together with the Storage Treasure of Qing Chenxi.

Objects that were too identifiable were better off not kept on his person for the time being.

To prevent accidents.

Moreover, burying them in the backyard was not really safe.

Tonight, he would find another place to bury them.

Even if someone dug them up, it would just be a loss of the Spirit Sword.

But if it were to be dug up in the backyard, it wouldn’t just be about losing the Spirit Sword.

Three days later.

In these few days, Gu An carried on with logging, keeping to a simple routine.

He did nothing out of the ordinary.

Nor did anything major happen in the logging area.

Zheng Xiu’s death seemed to be an ordinary event, one that stirred no ripples.

That evening, after logging was done, Gu An returned home.

He found that Big Eye Fish had hidden away again.

And the Array Plate had given a warning.

Someone had unreservedly entered his courtyard and was still inside.

“Senior,” Gu An initiated.

Soon after, a voice came from inside: “It’s me, come in.”

Just as he entered, Gu An saw Chu Meng sitting by the table, eating.

A plate of soy sauce beef, a plate of peanuts.

“Would you like some?” the other party turned to ask Gu An.

“Senior, why have you come again?” Gu An walked over, picked up chopsticks, and tried a piece of the meat.

It was very delicious.

Much better than what was served at Wangyue Inn by an unknown multiple.

“I came to chat with you,” Chu Meng poured a cup of liquor for herself and then poured one for Gu An as well.

Seeing that Gu An tried it, she then seriously asked, “Tell me the truth, did you kill Zheng Xiu?”

Gu An, who was drinking, was taken aback and said, “Senior, one can be reckless in eating, but words must not be reckless, lest they bring disaster.”

“Stop pretending, I’ve actually known all along that you’ve reached the Ninth Level of Qi Refining,” Chu Meng said assertively.

Upon hearing this, Gu An’s pupils shrank.

I could understand being seen through when I was practicing the Qi Concealing Technique, but why can you see through me now that I’m cultivating Wanxiang Senluo?

However, before Gu An could say anything, Chu Meng suddenly stood up, shocked:

“Your expression just changed, you really are at the Ninth Level of Qi Refining, aren’t you?”

Gu An was momentarily stunned, feeling somewhat speechless.

So you didn’t know I was at the Ninth Level of Qi Refining?

Shameless child, deceiving me?

Gu An inwardly sighed, realizing it was indeed necessary to first learn the Seven Emotions and Six Desires chapters.

To ensure that his emotions would not give him away.

“Speak, speak,” urged Chu Meng.

“With Senior having said it all, what is there for this junior to say?” Gu An responded.

“Tell me how you killed Qing Chenxi and Zheng Xiu,” Chu Meng sat down again and said.

“Can’t the Senior think about it?

Just come up with a process,” Gu An replied casually.
