Chapter 396: Chapter 285: Gu An: I Dare to Flip the Table, Do You? (Part 2)

Upon hearing this, the other party finally retracted their Qi, and said coldly:

“I hope Manager Gu can provide a satisfactory answer.”

Gu An nodded and said: “Just now, Senior mentioned that we captured people; however, that’s not quite accurate. To investigate the movements of the Divine Artifact, naturally I need some people to cooperate.

So I asked a few people to come over late at night.

Three people in total.

Besides that, we did nothing else.

The people Senior Hua and the others were not killed by us.”

“We didn’t say who was killed, so how do you know who died?” A woman asked.

Gu An looked at Zhang San beside him and said: “If you can know in the middle of the night, why can’t he know? Does our Cangmu Sect seem to have such isolated information?”

“He has Returning to Void Cultivation, so naturally he could have killed the three of them,” the woman said.

Hearing this, Gu An shook his head: “It wasn’t Zhang San who killed them.”

“Not him? Do you have any evidence to prove that he didn’t kill them?” the Immortal pressed again.

Gu An turned to look at Zhang San: “Do you have any evidence to prove you didn’t kill them?”

“None,” Zhang San shrugged.

Gu An turned back to face the group and shook his head: “No evidence.”

“Then you still say it wasn’t you who killed them?” the Immortal asked with a cold voice.

Gu An sighed and looked at the group: “So, shall we start fighting? Will you make the first move, or shall we?”

While saying that, Gu An stepped back two steps and said, “Zhang San, since there is no evidence, let’s make the first move.”

Zhang San, without any further nonsense, the Qi around his body surged and locked onto all the people opposite, ready to launch into a great battle.

Once this fight starts, there would be no room for easing the tensions.

Each must bear the wrath of their respective Sects.

For a moment, everyone’s throats were tight, and some looked at the speaking woman with blame; always her with the excess talk.

How to bring this to a close?

“Hold on,” Zheng Feng suddenly said: “Since it was not Zhang San fellow daoist who killed them, we can accept this, but there must be some explanation, right?”

“Everyone knows that people have died in your Sect, and they will surely look for us. So, who would most like to see us being blamed?” Gu An looked at Zheng Feng: “Naturally, it’s the person behind the theft.

Once a fight breaks out, no one will pursue them, and whatever transpires here will not concern them.

Is that not the case?”

Upon hearing this, Zheng Feng and the others frowned; it wasn’t impossible.

“We can accept that reason, but why capture people?” Zheng Feng asked.

It seemed to give him enough confidence.

Without saying another word, Gu An handed an envelope to the group.

After reading the contents of the envelope, Zheng Feng froze, seemingly in disbelief.

The others were curious.

Zheng Feng passed the envelope to the others to check.

When the Immortal who had spoken saw it, she shouted angrily: “Impossible, this is definitely a falsification.”

Saying this, she tore up and burned the envelope.

Gu An did not mind, but said, “Could it be that this Immortal is also a conspirator? Zhang San, take her.

Search her Storage Treasure.

If she resists, it proves she is guilty.

If she is an open and honest disciple of the Immortal Sect, she should not resist.”

“You…” the Immortal glared at Gu An.

As if she wanted to kill him.

In the end, Zhang San was not successful.

Zheng Feng made his move.

Thus, Gu An did not intend to fight a war of attrition.

Although his Merit was high, using it on such a matter,

seemed somewhat a pity.

After Zheng Feng took back the Royal Attendant, he left.

He said he would investigate who was behind this and would report to the Sect; if the Cangmu Sect was involved, they should give an explanation.

Otherwise, even having Returning Void Guards would be of no help.

They left, and Gu An glanced at the people left in charge by the Cangmu Sect, who stepped back with some apprehension.

Afterward, Gu An turned and left.

When he got back to his residence, Zhang San said: “Director, there seemed to be an Early Stage Returning to Void spying on us just now; it should not be their person.”

“Is that the one we are waiting for?” Gu An asked with slight concern.

Zhang San nodded: “Should be, the person who came has Early Stage Returning to Void cultivation, and there might be a stronger power behind them.”

Gu An found it strange; why didn’t these people leave after taking the item?

They couldn’t possibly want something else?

“Did they notice you?” Gu An asked.

“No, I set up an Array around us. That’s how I detected them. They used a concealment technique, and it seems they don’t know they were discovered,” Zhang San explained.

Gu An didn’t care too much, as he couldn’t inspect the surroundings in front of so many people.

Although he was stronger in that aspect.

But both Zhang San and Zheng Feng were at the Early Stage of Returning to Void.

They are on the same level as himself.

There’s a certain possibility they could detect him.

His cultivation is still too weak.

Otherwise, just now he would have been able to directly peek at the newcomer and thus understand the situation behind him.

Now he’s in a fog, which is slightly bothersome.

Afterwards, Gu An told them to go and look around.

Wait a few more days before deciding.

Mainly he needs to wait for the Ring of Destiny.

That letter was real, and he didn’t keep a backup.

He did so to make everyone aware that he had received the letter and had learned its contents.

Thus, those with plans will definitely know about him, and set their sights on him.

After all, he still has those two people in his hands.

Nobody is sure what those two have confessed.

The other party is certainly worried.

Therefore, they will either make a move on him or those two.

It’s likely they will act on both.

In this case, the Ring of Destiny would react, thereby revealing who tampered with things here.

On the other side.

Leng Qingtao returned to the back and said respectfully to the old woman: “Senior, I am aware of the situation now.

People from Cangmu Sect have arrived, and the two people we were in contact with were captured.

Moreover, our envelope was discovered.

It seems that our subsequent plans might fall through.”

“Oh?” The old woman opened her eyes and looked at the person before her: “Who has come from Cangmu Sect?”

Leng Qingtao lowered her eyebrows and said earnestly: “Gu An, with Golden Core Middle Stage cultivation, followed by Early Stage Returning to Void and Primordial Spirit Early Stage from other Sects.

Additionally, this Gu An is the one who sealed me.

He seems not so simple.

At least he has some Life-saving Treasures.

Killing him will not be easy.

Besides that, Fan He from the Heavenly Yang Sect, Hua Yu from Skywind Palace, and Ruo Xin from Linghua Valley were killed last night.

All three were at the Primordial Spirit Perfection, and Junior Sister Ruo was almost at the point of Returning to Void.

Even for someone in the Early Stage of Returning to Void, it would take much effort to kill them.

But they died too quickly, almost without any fight.

People from Cangmu Sect couldn’t have done it.

Perhaps there are other forces involved.”

The old woman fell silent for a long while before saying: “Then shall we strike quickly? The underground palace below should also be ready.

We act tonight.

Sooner rather than later.

We can’t give them any more time.

Also, send a letter to Cangmu Sect, telling them we will wait in the underground palace, the treasure is down there, asking them to bring people down.

Trade.

Originally, I wanted to lure the people from the Demon Sect and Immortal Sect down with Min.

To solve them all at once.

Now that we have someone who is Returning to Void, that’s almost enough.

Just an Early Stage Returning to Void, even though I’ve only just recovered to the Mid-stage Returning to Void, killing him would be like butchering a dog.”

Leng Qingtao hesitated and said: “Should we wait a few more days, wait for you to recover to the Late Stage Returning to Void before making a move, to be more secure?”

Upon hearing this, the old woman sneered: “Do you think I have just advanced to Mid-stage Returning to Void? An Early Stage Returning to Void is no match for me.

When we go down later, I will kill the Early Stage Returning to Void, and you kill the rest.

With Min, that will be about right.

If Cangmu Sect brought others, we don’t need her.

If they didn’t, let’s use them to fill in.”

Leng Qingtao nodded and said: “Yes.”

Then she quickly left.

After the person left, the old woman calculated and sighed: “The plan has been disrupted, these people are still not enough, but if we add one more Early Stage Returning to Void, that will be completely sufficient.”

Thinking of this, the old woman’s mouth revealed a ferocious smile.

The things in the underground palace, she wanted them all.

With that, she closed her eyes and continued to recover her cultivation.

Tonight she cannot let that Returning to Void escape, otherwise, it would be troublesome.

Better to bring one more person, to be more secure.
