#333 - So many people died in one night?
Chu Meng was originally leaning back against the edge, relaxed and enjoying herself.
But when she heard the content, she sat up straight and turned to look at Chun Yu, who was standing to one side, and said, "What did you say?"
"Gu An killed people, three of them," Chun Yu repeated.
Chu Meng felt a little uncomfortable: "Do the people of Nine Heavens Pavilion know about it?"
"They should know, but they haven't taken any action yet. This time, it might affect you, Miss," Chun Yu said seriously:
"Miss is the leader of this team, so if something goes wrong, they will definitely come looking for you.
This matter can be big or small.
If a large-scale fight really breaks out, Dong Xue may not be able to bring Miss out unscathed."
"It's not that exaggerated," Chu Meng continued to lie back down, sinking into the water, and said:
"This matter is a bit complicated. If we negotiate tomorrow, nothing should happen.
If something happens, we'll deal with it then.
Where is Gu An now?"
"I heard he returned to his residence and hasn't gone out for a stroll since," Chun Yu replied.
Chu Meng sighed and said, "Then let's continue to observe the movements of Nine Heavens Pavilion and investigate who the dead people are.
See if they are going to provoke some big shot."
Chun Yu nodded and then retreated with her head lowered.
After that, Chu Meng ignored everything else.
Let's take it slow first, and then go and question him.
Even if you want to kill people, you can't act so recklessly.
This isn't the Azurewood Sect, and it's difficult to bail people out.
On the other side.
Gu An fumbled around for a while before finding the second location.
He tried it out, and Nine Heavens Pavilion didn't have the same kind of detection as the Azurewood Sect.
They wouldn't immediately discover that he had killed someone.
In that case, he would have some time.
Of course, Zhao Qingshan and the others might be returning soon.
He had to finish as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if they found out he wasn't there and went to ask Chu Meng about him.
That would be bad.
At this time, Gu An concealed his aura and appeared at the edge of a courtyard.
Inside, there were the voices of a man and a woman.
"Senior brother, can becoming a member of the Reincarnation lineage really allow me to break through?" the woman asked.
"Of course, I can also tell you how to improve the fastest," the man's voice said with a smile:
"So you're sure you want to serve me?"
"I'll obey Senior Brother," the woman's voice said ingratiatingly.
At this time, the man laughed: "It would have been better if you had done this earlier? I even had to kill your dao companion and cripple your younger sister.
People like you without any background are just cattle and sheep to be slaughtered in the sect. You should work hard for us,
Serve us well, and then you can survive.
We won't compete with you mediocre people, but when we ask you for something, you can't say no.
Otherwise, you will understand that even if your talent is good and you have a Golden Core cultivation, you can only feel what despair is.
As for asking the sect for help.
Those you can see can't control me, and those who can control me you can't see."
"Yes, I understand now," the woman's voice was soft.
Gu An shook his head and activated the Divine Power Sun and Moon Shine Together.
Then he knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" A vigilant voice came from inside.
Before Gu An could answer, suddenly, with a bang.
A huge force was transmitted from inside.
Then a figure rushed out, carrying a vast power.
Town Heaven Seal!
A huge mark roared down.
Wanting to suppress him.
Gu An felt another difference in the Nine Heavens Pavilion.
They really acted decisively.
When encountering some enemies in the Azurewood Sect, they would at least say a few words.
The people here just don't like to talk.
They directly take action.
But they are also quite crude and straightforward in targeting people.
The two sects are really a bit different.
Not used to it.
Gu An slightly raised his hand, and with a bang.
He blocked the opponent's suppression with one hand, and then held the long spear in his hand.
With a whoosh, he threw it out.
Boom!
Bang!
Bang!
Pfft!
A powerful force roared away, hitting He Liang's body, breaking through two layers of protection in a row, and then piercing through the other party's body.
This time, Gu An didn't kill him.
He still needed to ask something.
But he couldn't be careless.
Suppress him first.
However, before Gu An could go over, he saw a figure rushing over.
Then with a bang.
The Golden Core self-destructed.
Everything turned to ashes.
Gu An:
Somewhat surprised.
Now there is only one person left.
It was also the person he asked Zhao Qingshan to inquire about.
First find out where the person is.
Midnight.
Gu An tied up a man and confined him to a chair.
This was a rather old man.
Serving as a deacon in the outer sect.
"Wei Huiyang?" Gu An asked.
"Who are you? Do you know what place this is? If you trespass into the Nine Heavens Pavilion, I'm afraid you won't be able to walk out alive.
Your appearance, your behavior, will all be recorded," Wei Huiyang said sternly.
Gu An ignored the other party and instead said, "Do you know a person named Wan Daoqi?"
Wan Daoqi was the person he was looking for, also known as the traitor of the Law Enforcement Hall.
The main purpose was still to find the other party.
"Who are you?" Wei Huiyang asked coldly.
"Zuo Youyan, with some grudges against Wan Daoqi," Gu An said.
"Will you let me go if I tell you?" Wei Huiyang asked.
Gu An thought for a moment and nodded: "Yes."
"He went to the Dao Sect," Wei Huiyang replied.
Gu An was silent for a moment and said, "Do you know how to contact him?"
"I don't know, but I know he is valued by a big shot. You are looking for death if you go," Wei Huiyang said.
Gu An sighed and then said, "Is there anything else you want to say?"
"What do you want to do..： .：" Wei Huiyang wanted to say something.
But the knife had already cut across his neck.
Gu An sighed: "Sorry, I'm a little pressed for time."
Thus, he took the things and left.
The corpses were all left behind.
In order to make things big.
In this way, the things of the day will be ignored.
When they pay attention to it, perhaps he has already returned.
Then there will be nothing.
In addition, the one who was killed relied on his elder brother, and since his elder brother is dead, then no one will care even more.
Thus, Gu An returned to his residence.
Fortunately, the two hadn't come yet.
But he didn't dare to look at the storage treasures, but instead read books, waiting for people to arrive.
After thinking about it, he decided to go find Chu Meng.
Doing a full set of acting.
When he came over, Gu An found that the maid named Dong Xue was standing at the door.
She held her sword, glanced at Gu An coldly, and then blocked the way with an icy aura.
"Fairy, I want to see Senior Sister Chu Meng," Gu An respectfully saluted.
The cultivation of the person in front of him was a bit high, higher than Ye Xiu.
Chu Meng actually had a maid of such a powerful existence by her side.
What kind of identity, to have so many powerful maids.
Thinking back to the imperial princess of the First Courtyard, she was followed by a Nascent Soul.
Completely incomparable to Chu Meng.
Dong Xue looked at Gu An and then transmitted a message inside.
After a while, she restrained her aura.
The door was also pushed open by her.
Thus, Gu An then walked in.
As soon as he entered, he saw Chu Meng sitting at the table eating peanuts.
At this time, her hair was wet, and there was also a burst of heat on her body.
She should have just come out of the bath.
"Did you know I was bathing and specially ran over to take a look at my post-bath scene?" Chu Meng asked, looking at Gu An.
Gu An:
"If I had known you were bathing, I wouldn't have come."
After he sat down, Chu Meng rebuked, "You killed someone again?"
Hearing this, Gu An's heart tightened.
I've been discovered?
I just got back, and Chu Meng already received the news?
That's too fast, right?
"Looking at your guilty expression, it seems it's true. Killing someone at the inn as soon as you arrive, aren't you afraid of trouble?
You wouldn't think that with me, your superior, here, I can definitely protect you, right?" Chu Meng looked at Gu An with a helpless expression: "Although that's the case, being so undisciplined is still very troublesome."
Hearing this, Gu An breathed a sigh of relief.
So she's talking about this afternoon's incident.
"What's with that relaxed look on your face? You wouldn't have killed someone else behind my back, would you?" Chu Meng immediately asked.
Gu An shook his head: "Of course not. This junior came mainly to talk about the matter this afternoon. It was an accident."
As he spoke, he explained the general situation.
He was mocked and insulted, and then the other party refused to let it go.
In the end, he was forced to kill.
Chu Meng tossed peanuts into her mouth one by one, sighing, "Why do you always encounter people like this wherever you go?
I've never encountered them."
Gu An looked at her, wanting to say that she was of noble status, and others wouldn't dare to offend her.
This is the helplessness of the lower class.
They all look easy to bully.
When they see someone dressed plainly, they think they're easy to bully.
First impressions matter, and there's a reason for it.
If his Daoist robe was extraordinary and extremely conspicuous,
that person's attitude would have been different.
At least they wouldn't have dared to openly provoke him.
But it would also make people take risks, after all, killing and arson bring wealth.
The cultivation world is even more so. If they succeed and escape, they might become a powerful figure.
Afterward, Gu An asked how to handle the matter.
Chu Meng pondered for a moment, then said: "I'll take care of it tomorrow. Control yourself and don't encounter these people again."
Gu An:
Although somewhat helpless, the negotiation result was good.
Of course, because he caused trouble at this critical juncture, his second-stage reward would also be deducted.
The third-stage mission would be told to him after this matter was over.
Afterward, Gu An went back.
Waiting until dawn, the two people finally returned.
This made Gu An somewhat unbelievable.
They said the investigation was quite troublesome, but now they had enough information about the other party.
Gu An briefly looked at it, and it was indeed the person he killed last night.
It also stated that the other party had harmed many people in the outer sect.
Gu An satisfiedly put away the information, saying that he would contact the other party today.
He didn't say the purpose, and Ye Xiu and the others wouldn't ask.
Only after dawn did news start to spread from within the Nine Heavens Pavilion.
By noon that day, the news was everywhere.
The Nine Heavens Pavilion was shaken.
A direct disciple was killed, and an important inner sect disciple was killed.
More than twenty people died in one night.
Three direct disciples died, twelve inner sect disciples died, and several outer sect disciples also died.
The Nine Heavens Pavilion had never experienced such a thing.
For a time, all kinds of investigators appeared, constantly interrogating.
Gu An was stunned again when he heard the news.
So many people died?
He killed a total of five, and including the two accidental deaths, that's only seven.
How did it become more than twenty?
Gu An looked at Ye Xiu and Zhao Qingshan beside him: "Did you kill them?"
This time, he really thought so.
Not just crying wolf.
It was normal for these two to investigate individuals later.
But Ye Xiu should have returned first.
But in the end, they returned late together, which was not normal.
Ye Xiu was silent and didn't speak.
Zhao Qingshan said with a smile: "Dean, you're overthinking it. We're not such impulsive people."
Gu An looked at them with a dubious expression.
He didn't believe them at all.
After a pause, he said: "Are there any suspects?"
Zhao Qingshan calmly replied: "I heard that the Nine Heavens Pavilion has a treasure that can reflect the appearance of the murderer. Perhaps there will be news soon."
That afternoon.
New news came out. The Nine Heavens Pavilion did use that treasure.
In the end, they saw the appearance of the murderer, who was extraordinarily handsome.
But no one recognized him.
After asking around, they finally learned the other party's identity.
Zuo Youyan.
But only one person had traces of the other party, and the other few had no traces at all.
When Gu An received the news, he was silent.
It seemed that the Nine Heavens Pavilion's things were not very strong.
This figure was still left by him on purpose at Wei Huiyang's side after he knew the situation.
Ye Xiu and Zhao Qingshan looked at each other, both very surprised.
On the other side, Chu Meng was numb after receiving the news.
So many people died?
And Zuo Youyan killed them?
Who is Zuo Youyan?
Naturally, it was Gu An's mission.
So who killed the people, need I say more?
Gu An, no doubt.
"He killed so many people in one night?"
"Killing from the first half of the night to the second half, and in the middle, he even took the time to chat with me for a while?"
"How considerate. Not only that, but he also wants to improve wholeheartedly, wanting to complete the mission as soon as he arrives."
"But... this is making too much noise."
Chu Meng had a feeling of returning to the Azure Wood Sect.
Why be so passionate at such an old age?
While Chu Meng was still sighing, people from the Nine Heavens Pavilion came.
The Azure Wood Sect came yesterday, and something happened last night, so they naturally had huge suspicions.
The people from the Nine Heavens Pavilion wanted to imprison Chu Meng first.
Even Feng He and others had no way to stop it.
But when they were about to make a move, Dongxue acted.
Then the people from the Nine Heavens Pavilion left and went to find Gu An.
And Ye Xiu also acted.
The people from the Nine Heavens Pavilion left again.
Cheng Yifei followed the whole time to explain, but after seeing the people from the Nine Heavens Pavilion suffer twice, he was silent.
Not only him, but the people who came from the Nine Heavens Pavilion were also silent.
Wasn't it said that the Azure Wood Sect was a second-rate sect?
What's wrong with these people?
Then they looked at Cheng Yifei and asked if the remaining two were also in this situation.
Cheng Yifei shook his head.
In the end, they could only make those two Yuanshen suffer.
Finally, they caught someone.
Gu An watched them being taken away, feeling emotional.
So the work of logging was left to him alone.
"Fellow Daoist, don't worry. It's just a normal questioning. If there's no problem, they'll be released in a few days," Cheng Yifei explained.
Gu An nodded: "It should be, after all, such a big thing happened."
Cheng Yifei was very moved that the other party could understand.
This time, the Nine Heavens Pavilion's matter was too big.
Too many people died.
The sect was furious, but they just couldn't catch anyone. In fact, there were many who didn't want to investigate at all.
The Nine Heavens Pavilion was not of one mind at all.
The death of some people was a great thing for them.
There were many factions in the Law Enforcement Hall.
He didn't even have to wait to know that in the end, they would just grab a few people to take the blame.
Then this matter would be over.
And he was powerless to do anything, he could only complete his own affairs first.
Otherwise, perhaps the unlucky ghost who took the blame would be someone from their lineage.
The struggle between immortal sects is more cruel than ordinary people.
