After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 260 - 220: Is He Just Faking Weakness? (Part 2)

These two people have definitely succeeded.

Their strength is not on the same level as Li Yue and the others.

Moreover, the Demon Beast is clearly burning its life to get a chance to escape.

It won’t last for more than a few days.

Once they leave, Gu An finally breathes a sigh of relief.

But soon, a sword comes from the direction they disappeared in.

Boom!

The sword lands around the Sword Array, sealing off the surroundings.

It seals Gu An inside, making it impossible for him to leave, let alone communicate any information.

It seems they don’t want any complications.

They want to inquire about his situation, so they trap without killing.

"I don’t know which Sect they are from," Gu An remarks, looking at the opponent’s Spirit Sword filled with thunder.

Such cultivation shouldn’t have come here.

According to the Sect’s division, at most only Nascent Souls in the early stages with Golden Cores should be here.

These two people came here privately, which is somewhat against the rules.

Unfortunately, no one here manages that.

Gu An dares not to think further but picks up the axe and begins logging.

Although he still feels the tremendous sword energy during this logging attempt, it’s somewhat easier than before.

However, it will take quite a lot of time to accumulate enough Hard Cultivation.

Can the Demon Beast hold on that long?

Probably not.

Gu An shakes his head, stops thinking, and resumes logging.

Once promoted to the Late Stage Nascent Soul, he won’t have to worry anymore.

As each bamboo falls, Gu An feels like his bones are about to split.

The pressure of the sword energy on him has reached a point where it’s extremely difficult for him to move.

Finally, after daybreak, Gu An is forced to rest.

In the evening, he wakes up again.

He resumes logging.

The sword energy follows.

The axe in his hand becomes increasingly heavy, and he feels a huge mountain pressing down on his shoulders.

Tonight, the sword intents and sword energies continuously invade his body.

The Qi Sea Heavenly Gang fights against them, and his body accumulates fragments of Sword Intent.

The amount is too vast.

Even the Qi Sea Heavenly Gang finds it hard to completely dissolve them.

At midnight.

Gu An collapses to the ground again.

His body can’t bear it anymore.

Now he’s sweating profusely, feeling the residue of Sword Intent even in his sweat.

If this continues, his body won’t be able to endure it.

Logging without understanding the Sword Intent has serious side effects.

Greater than those of the trees at the Sect.

And even the axe can’t withstand it anymore.

Luckily, there are many axes.

If not, he’ll have to use swords.

But he’s afraid they might cut through too quickly, and he won’t have time to absorb the required value.

It would be a waste.

Logging requires chopping bit by bit; it can’t be too sharp or too blunt.

Using a specially-made axe is best.

Although a very sharp one combined with Magic could chop at once,

Chopping more doesn’t help.

There’s no warmth flow formed by years and Spiritual Energy.

At rest, Gu An sees that the Ring of Destiny has its defenses.

It seems to be because of those two people.

[Yesterday at dawn, Wei Wen spotted you, which was a surprise to him. They came secretly from another direction just for the Sword Immortal inheritance. They learned from some ancient texts that the Sword Immortal inheritance here is quite unique.

It’s not just a titular Sword Immortal, but a real Sword Immortal with Sword Immortal Sword Dao and Sword Immortal Spirit Sword.

Only Spiritual Medicine can approach the Sword adorned with Sword Spirit without being affected.

Since they came secretly and you saw them, they naturally have to kill to keep it a secret.

But since you are here, it suggests you know something about this place. After reconsidering, they decided to trap you here.

After they get what they want, they’ll come back to interrogate and then it’s still not too late to silence you.

Their arrival must not be divulged; they have already killed many people along the way.

Using the name of Zuo Youyan, hoping to blame him.

In the evening, they forced the Demon Beast into a lake, unfortunately, the opponent used the Demon Beast in the lake to escape again.

But they cursed it, and they’ll be able to chase it down in no more than three days.]

Gu An reads the feedback, feeling somewhat surprised.

Indeed, they came secretly, and coming secretly, naturally, they can’t let others find out, encountering one person means killing one.

Otherwise, it disrupts the rules and naturally requires punishment.

No one likes to invite trouble.

And blaming the killings on Zuo Youyan is also a good option.

After all, Zuo Youyan is a traitor, and moreover, he is powerful.

He was already blamed for many lives before, so it’s reasonable for him to go on a killing spree here.

Yet, what matters most are not these things, but the chilling notion of ’killing to silence’.

"A Late Stage Primordial Spirit and a Mid-Stage Primordial Spirit."

"Facing them directly, the chances of winning aren’t high."

"Stealth attacks might have a certain possibility, but it’s best to approach them one by one."

Gu An fell silent for a moment, deciding to first enhance Vertical Earth Golden Light.

At least it would enable him to perform a stealth attack.

Even if defeated, he could still escape.

On the other side of the bamboo forest.

Wei Wen looked ahead and frowned, "This Demon Beast has a tough life; acquiring the inheritance indeed isn’t easy, and our preparations are still insufficient.

We thought it was merely a Demon Beast with the strength of a Primordial Spirit Early Stage, but it turned out to have so many tricks up its sleeve.

And it is extremely alert.

The moment we appeared, it directly fled with the item.

It did not even engage us in battle."

"The Demon Beast has hidden itself; although we can find it, it would take some time," said a woman beside him with a sigh,

"If our first strike had been fatal, we wouldn’t be having such trouble."

As she spoke, she seemed to remember something, "Did Senior Brother see that person?"

"I saw him, my sword trapped him, but only briefly," Wei Wen said.

"Do you think he will succeed in breaking the Sealing recklessly?" the woman asked.

Her name was Nolan Lin, a Mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivation.

She had secretly come here with Wei Wen.

They were from Qingcheng Sect.

Thus, they couldn’t be discovered by others, or else they would face great trouble.

They might even be unable to leave Mu Sect alive.

Thus, anyone who saw them could not be spared.

"It’s hard to say, let’s see if he has any other treasures," Wei Wen spoke.

"It seems he is also a concern," Nolan Lin thought for a moment and said, "Senior Brother, continue chasing the Demon Beast, I’ll go back and handle things.

And try to ascertain his general situation by leaving traces of Zuo Youyan in the process."

Wei Wen pondered for a moment and said, "That’s fine, but there’s a Sword Array over there, try to gain his trust as much as possible, then have him come out willingly.

That way, it won’t alarm the owner of the Sword Array.

Additionally, we need a clear account of the inside situation, how many people entered the cave.

How many have discovered this place.

Make the killing clean and quick, don’t torment him.

And don’t play games, lest the night draws out and breeds more dreams."

Nolan Lin smiled and said, "Senior Brother, aren’t you still worried about me? I won’t cause trouble for myself.

After all, a slight mishap, and we cannot leave here alive.

We have come here in search of opportunities, not death."

Saying this, she bid farewell to Wei Wen and headed towards Gu An.

If she really could not deceive Gu An to leave the Sword Array, she would destroy the Sword Array and kill.

Then wait in the surroundings to determine how many people came out.

Whether to kill or leave them depended on the situation.

At this moment, Gu An was sitting cross-legged, his current status was not very good.

But he still wanted to continue logging.

After all, the Magic was only lacking the last one or two pieces of bamboo.

But just as he was logging, he suddenly sensed someone approaching.

This took him by surprise.

Using Blood Spirit, he saw it was the same woman from earlier.

Mid-stage Nascent Soul.

"A silencer coming for me?"

Gu An immediately thought of this.

Because they couldn’t directly handle the Demon Beast, they found the time to silence one individual.

To prevent accidents from occurring in his own situation.

Especially since people were still present in the Sword Immortal Tomb, and if someone were to come out,

things would get troublesome.

Thinking of this, Gu An put away the ax.

He took out the worn long knife given to him by his Senior Brother.

This knife was still handy.

"Mid-stage Nascent Soul, same realm as me, but I’ve just entered this realm."

"I wonder how likely I am to win if I engage her in combat."

The only thing he could use to his advantage is that she is unaware of his cultivation.

Thus, a direct stealth attack was the safest approach.

After a moment, Gu An, pretending to carelessly inspect the unidentifiable Sealed long sword in his hands,

made himself appear mediocre in cultivation and treasure, thus increasing the success rate of a stealth attack.

"What is Junior Brother doing here?" Nolan Lin curiously asked as she looked at Gu An.

As she spoke, she casually took the sword.

Originally, she wanted to lure the person out, but seeing that he was just outside the Sword Array,

and didn’t retreat upon her arrival.

Was it this easy?

Is he foolish?

Or could there be a trick?

No matter, better test it first.

Thinking this, she activated her fire technique while Gu An was about to speak.

Eight streams of fire, like flying dragons, converged and headed straight for Gu An.

A Golden Core Early Stage would die instantly under this strike.

Gu An: "???"
