Chapter 397: Chapter 286: If You Want to Kill the Dean, You’ll Have to Step Over My Dead Body

During the day, conversing with those powerhouses gave Gu An a sigh of relief.

He knew once they started fighting, the consequences would be unthinkable.

But sometimes, when you back down, unpredictable things always happen afterward.

All coming from those people.

Finding various ways to make things difficult for him.

Therefore, deterring them was the best approach.

He had a Zhang San, which could be a deterrence.

But Zhang San could be bought, so he still needed to be vigilant.

On guard.

When alone, he would release some Blood Spirits to crouch nearby, acting as sensors.

In addition, his own perception was always active.

He dared not release it recklessly, but he needed to be aware of his surroundings.

Once someone got too close, he would quickly become aware.

In this way, he could also prevent problems before they occurred.

Gu An was contemplating various scenarios.

In short, reaching this point was not calculated, but it was the most protective of his interests.

Currently, although he had offended people, his interests had not been damaged.

People from other sects had lost face, but except for Skywind Palace, the others were still under control for the time being.

Of course, the offense was complete.

With no one coming to seek retribution, Gu An’s day passed quickly.

But that evening, Zhang San brought a letter.

Gu An looked at it, slightly surprised:

“Underground palace?”

“Yes, they have arranged to meet in the underground palace tonight, hand over Min Fairy to them, and then they will give us the treasure,” Zhang San said.

Gu An was slightly doubtful: “Is it trustworthy?”

“Trustworthy, but there’s definitively danger,” Zhang San said with a smile. “They’re luring us there, surely with a purpose.

Most likely, they’re still prepared to attack us.

But it’s possible that they indeed possess the items.”

“Is that so?” Gu An pondered for a moment then said, “Then inform the others about this, let them go.

We’ll follow behind.”

“I’m afraid that won’t work,” Zhang San said with a smile. “Everyone knows this trip is unsafe, there’s no need to take the risk.”

Gu An looked at Zhang San: “There are treasures in the underground palace.”

Hearing this, Zhang San was taken aback.

What kind of place the underground palace was, that goes without saying.

Since nobody knew, then there really might be treasures below.

Then those people might indeed go down.

And the sender of the letter might hope so too.

“Will the Academy’s Head also go?” Zhang San asked.

“We’ll follow them, then leave; the underground palace is too dangerous, not suitable for us,” Gu An said.

“What if they all die down there?” Zhang San asked again.

Gu An thought for a moment and replied, “Tell them about the danger, then see if anyone will go; If they do, we won’t, if not, we’ll consider it.”

One cannot act according to the opponent’s plan; it’s too dangerous.

Losing the initiative.

And it is also uncertain how strong these people really are.

Since the trip to the underground palace was tonight, Gu An immediately forwarded the news to those people.

Sure enough, everyone got excited.

Deciding to go down and see for themselves.

Gu An honestly informed them that this might be the opposite party’s scheme.

Those people naturally understood.

But still, many wanted to give it a try.

Underground palace.

They were convinced that hardly anyone knew about this matter.

This seemed to confirm that there were indeed unknown secrets below.

It’s likely that the other party wanted to use them to scout.

But it also meant an opportunity; as long as one went in, they could seize the treasure first.

Afterward, Gu An openly shared the method to enter.

Then he had Zhang San keep an eye on these people.

Some shouted not to go in, even resisting others from going, but once they went back, they sneaked in.

Two of the three from Cangmu Sect also went.

In an instant, many of the Sect Disciples in the buildings around the Academy went as well.

Gu An also made a show of going in.

Eventually, he returned to his residence.

It wasn’t midnight yet, he waited first.

Then he observed the situation.

Soon.

Midnight came.

Gu An received the feedback from the Ring of Destiny immediately.

[Yesterday at noon, Leng Qingtao found out that you had come to Tianlan City, even becoming the investigator for them; after inquiring about your actions, she went back to the mountain cave behind the city, reporting to the Sect Seniors.

The conclusion was reached, to lure you to the underground palace, and then split up to assassinate you.

Leng Qingtao felt they could be more cautious, waiting until the Senior recovers the Late Stage Returning to Void cultivation before acting.

But the other party refused, considering killing Early Stage Returning to Void as easy as slaughtering dogs.

Leng Qingtao agreed, but she didn’t expect you to share the news with everyone, even not risking yourself, which somewhat deviated from their plan.

If you don’t die, she cannot deal with the Sealing on her.

The Sect Senior was very happy, since everyone went down, she could plot even more, but still missing a Returning to Void and a Primordial Spirit.

Deciding to kill Zhang San before going to the underground palace to deal with those people, then kill Chen Changfeng next to you.

The plan remains unchanged, she will deal with Zhang San, and Leng Qingtao will lead people to deal with you and Chen Changfeng.

Once midnight passes, they will act.

This happens to be the time when the defenses of the Sect gathering area outside are weakest.]

Boom!

Just as Gu An finished reading the feedback from the Ring of Destiny, he felt the impact of power.

A fight had started outside.

The speed was extremely fast.

It seemed that they weren’t giving people here any time to react.

“Lead the Academy’s Head away.” Suddenly, an urgent voice came from outside.

It was Zhang San.

Then a bang.

The door was blasted open.

Chen Changfeng immediately grabbed Gu An’s arm, then pulled him out the window, flew away with Sword Control: “Head, I’ll take you away, someone wants to kill you.”

Gu An did not resist, letting Chen Changfeng pull him.

Before leaving, he saw the battle in the sky, the booming sounds relentless.
