CHAPTER 401: CHAPTER 287: THE COLOSSUS TOO BIG FOR THE FIRST INSTITUTE_2

Moreover, the opponent was negligent, which gave me the opportunity.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so easy to kill them.

It was by seizing that moment of advantage that I decisively killed them.

Otherwise, I would have been in trouble.

Of course, I released my Qi Sea Sky Gang at the first opportunity.

And I also drew on the power of the Qinglian Xuanhuang Scripture.

Only then was I able to retreat unharmed tonight.

Otherwise, the consequences would be unthinkable.

In the end, I am still too weak.

I need to go back and improve my cultivation.

The matters here need to be resolved as soon as possible.

Hesitating for a moment, he cast a spell to open Zhang San’s bracelet and sealing.

Consider this transaction completed.

Thus, Gu An waited by the roadside.

Not until it was almost dawn did a merchant caravan come by.

Gu An spent some money to take a ride in their carriage.

He was in the last carriage.

Inside were a child and an old man.

The little boy looked at Gu An and seemed a bit shy.

Perhaps because he had just woken up.

Gu An did not want to enter the city directly, fearing that there were still people lurking in the shadows.

If it was an opponent, I could fight back, but if not, it would be troublesome.

"Are the two young masters also going to the Academy?" At this moment, the old man took the initiative to speak.

Gu An nodded slightly: "Are you as well, elder?"

Hearing this, the old man laughed: "I plan to send my grandson there, I wonder if the Academy will accept him."

Gu An turned to look at the little boy next to him, noticing that he seemed to have mediocre talent.

Uncertain if he could be admitted to the Academy.

"He looks clever enough," Gu An spoke kindly.

Afterwards, he chatted casually with the old man on the way.

They didn’t talk about anything important.

However, Gu An heard nothing but praise for the Heavenly Yang Sect, Skywind Palace, and Hualing Valley from the other party.

Moreover, he heard criticism of the Cangmu Sect.

Said that the Cangmu Sect is selfish and for one’s own gain, harming countless civilians.

That they are sinners deserving death, an evil path outside the righteous way.

"All those from the Cangmu Sect are bad people." At this moment, the child also piped up.

Gu An was slightly surprised, not expecting even a child to think the Cangmu Sect was an unforgivably evil Sect.

But has the Cangmu Sect really done anything against heaven and reason?

After becoming a Demon Sect, the Sect’s management has been stricter than before.

Indiscriminate killing was never strictly prohibited, but those who did would easily be cleared out by the Law Enforcement Hall.

Without need, few dared to do such foolish acts.

Pang Wen also inquired about this during his mission.

The Cangmu Sect has had little contact with the outside world recently, mostly just clashing with other sects.

Afterward, Gu An also joined them in condemning Cangmu Sect.

Upon daybreak, the merchant caravan arrived at the city gates.

The child felt a bit hungry and took out some candies wrapped in oil-paper.

Gu An took the opportunity to look over, having never tasted the candies of this world.

Seeing Gu An’s gaze, the child hesitated, but ultimately seemed to make up his mind, offering the smallest piece saying, "Here, I wouldn’t give this to anyone else."

Hearing this, Gu An smiled, accepted it, and earnestly thanked him.

He then took out an ordinary elixir pill that strengthens the physique from his person and handed it over saying, "I also have some candy, let’s trade."

The other party happily accepted it.

And then swallowed it whole.

The old man was watching from the side, just about to stop him, but it was too late.

Gu An didn’t mind and studied the candy.

Somewhat yellowish.

Then he placed it in his mouth.

Bitter-sweet.

"Is it very sweet?" The child asked expectantly.

Gu An looked at him and nodded slightly: "Very sweet."

The child chuckled, feeling very satisfied with the answer.

After entering the city, Gu An got off the carriage and waved goodbye to them.

Watching them leave, savoring the taste of the candy in his mouth.

Gu An suddenly realized that the bitterness he felt was, in the eyes of others, a sweetness that is hard to come by.

For a moment, Gu An felt he understood his own sword even more.

It seemed that he was on the verge of comprehending the Second Sword of the mortal world.

Not only that, but he felt that his understanding of the Seven Emotions and Six Desires was getting deeper.

At the same time, he was getting better at controlling his own emotions.

Questioning a certain emotion, understanding a certain emotion, transforming into a certain emotion, and ultimately achieving certain emotions.

Later, Gu An casually found an inn and stayed there.

That night, Chen Changfeng woke up.

Because Gu An had fed him Elixir Pills, his recovery was much faster.

At this moment, Chen Changfeng got up with some urgency and shouted, "Head of the Academy, run quickly."

Gu An felt a sense of melancholy in his heart.

He could understand the joys and sorrows of others, yet he could not comprehend the thoughts of Chen Changfeng.

Even in dreams, one had to worry about oneself?

I’m really just an ordinary disciple, with no favors or virtues owed to him.

After figuring out the surrounding situation and seeing Gu An, Chen Changfeng was somewhat astonished, "Head of the Academy, you’re dead too?"

Gu An remained silent. For a moment, he felt like pouring himself a cup of tea.

Unfortunately, he was not in the habit of drinking tea, and there was no tea in the room.

It seems I should listen to Chu Meng in the future, keep some tea on hand, and then at certain times, it can be used to splash on people.

"Not dead. You’re lucky, you were saved by a senior who passed by at the right time." Gu An said as he pointed to the ancient zither beside Chen Changfeng, "This is what the senior left behind. It must be the lost treasure of the Skywind Palace.

If you’re well, go and inquire about the situation at the Academy.

In fact, Gu An had already investigated with the Blood Spirit.

People over there had discovered an underground palace and only left a few guards.

The rest of them have gone into the underground palace.

As for troubling the Cangmu Sect.

They didn’t have that kind of intention in mind.

As to what kind of underground palace it was, Gu An did not yet know.

He also had no idea of entering it.

Moreover, this news has been sent back, and soon strong figures will arrive.

I must leave quickly.

Let Chen Changfeng hand over the treasures to the person in charge over there, and the rest can be handled by the Cangmu Sect’s people.

I can then retire with my task accomplished.

Complete the mission.

Chen Changfeng was somewhat muddled.

It seems that things have changed a bit too fast.

How come everything is suddenly fine and he even obtained a treasure?

It seems that his mission for this outing is completed.

Then he curiously asked, "What about Zhang San?"

"Seems to have encountered a strong fighter, I don’t know where he has gone, and haven’t heard about his situation," Gu An said, half-truthfully.

Now, indeed, Zhang San’s whereabouts were unknown, all restraints had been lifted for the opponent at the time.

There was no need for him to return at all.

Zhang San was not a foolish man.

The seriously injured Zhang San had probably already left far away.

He had done enough.

At least Gu An felt that this mission would be very difficult without him.

And in the end, he bought so much time for me.

That’s enough.

The power speaks for itself.

Asking him to deal with a Mid-stage Returning to Void was indeed putting someone in a difficult position.

Chen Changfeng nodded and then asked about the general situation.

Gu An informed him briefly.

To let him know the current situation.

Also to make clear that since his return, he has been unprotected and dared not go to the gathering place.

He could only wait for Chen Changfeng to wake up and take action.

For this, Chen Changfeng patted his chest to guarantee the completion of the mission.

That very night, the latter left, taking the treasure and Gu An’s letter to the gathering place.

However, the other party stayed away all night, to Gu An’s surprise.

He wanted to wait for Chen Changfeng to return and leave overnight.

The next day at noon.

Gu An looked at his books, somewhat astonished.

It was noon and he had not returned.

But he really did not detect any indications of a fight.

Did Chen Changfeng run away?

If that is really the case, then that truly is good news added to joy.

In one fell swoop, I handled the troublesome person.

Gu An decided to wait one day; if the other party does not return tomorrow, he will leave directly.

However, by evening of that day, Chen Changfeng returned.

With a look of excitement: "Head of the Academy, guess what I brought back?"

Gu An puzzled: "What?"

"Last night I saw them going into the underground palace, so I followed them in," Chen Changfeng said earnestly.

Gu An was startled and thought of the Nirvana Dao Scripture and the Fire Phoenix Spirit Egg that Chen Changfeng brought back.

He had a feeling of impending bad news.

However, before he could stop him, Chen Changfeng took out a weird box, a crimson sword, and a piece of Mysterious Clothes.

Gu An: "..."

Take it away, I don’t want it.

They obviously aren’t ordinary items; if they’re like the Nirvana Dao Scripture, how could I bear it?

Indeed, I shouldn’t have waited.

I should go back by myself and then do whatever it takes to keep Chen Changfeng away from the First Institute.

This great Buddha is too big for the First Institute to contain.
