After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 305 - 242: Colluding with the Demon Sect, Betraying the Sect

Chapter 305: Chapter 242: Colluding with the Demon Sect, Betraying the Sect

First place?

Upon hearing these two words, Gu An was quite surprised in his heart.

Giving away these items, he could still top the list?

Initially, his intention was just to rid himself of the trouble.

Incidentally earning some Merit, it would be best if he could stay on the top, but it was not a big deal if he could not.

No matter how high the Merit, it only offers temporary protection.

And even then, within a specified range.

Far less important than one’s own strength.

Thus faced with the choice between the Merit List and subsequent Cultivation Techniques, Gu An chose the latter.

But he had never imagined that he might also be eligible for first place.

That would be too conspicuous.

"This could also top the list." Gu An was somewhat incredulous.

"The chances are high." Mei Jianghe, looking at the seedling, said: "Junior Brother might not be fully aware of this item; behind this tree lie countless lives.

It is said that when our Sect was founded, they considered using this Barrier as a grand protective formation.

Combined with our Spirit Tree, it could nearly control all surrounding circumstances, and the Spirit Tree’s nourishment could elevate the Sect’s Spiritual Energy even further.

Regrettably, this technique is too inhumane. Although the Sect Master found a clue to the refining method, it was discovered that the ritual would require millions of living souls.

In the end, it was abandoned.

After all, we do not consider ourselves a Demon Sect.

Of course, we are also not any kind of illustrious and upright Sect.

So, since we obtained this thing at no cost, naturally we want to make use of it.

One could say it doubles on the existing foundation.

A grand formation that lasts a millennium and can still double in power—what kind of concept is that?

Not first place? Top three is definitely not a problem.

Of course, that’s provided it’s the genuine article."

Hearing this, Gu An nodded in agreement.

At that moment, Mei Jianghe quickly recorded the details of the tree, then looking at Gu An said: "This matter will take a day or two to confirm, so I need Junior Brother to go back and wait for news.

If you are worried, you could make a trip to Heavenly Suspension Peak and have the Peak Master oversee it.

I believe he would not refuse."

Gu An shook his head, replying: "No need, I trust Senior Brother Mei." freewebnσvel.cøm

The other party smiled and said: "Then, Junior Brother, rest assured and wait for the news."

Afterward, Gu An left the Merit Hall.

He did not truly trust the other person, but felt there was no need.

First place...

He did not want it.

If the other party could manipulate things a bit and allow him to stay on the list after exchanging for the Cultivation Technique, then it didn’t matter to him if they took some of his Merit.

First place was simply too ostentatious.

Of course, there might also be trouble coming from Linghua Valley’s direction.

If it became Mei Jianghe’s Merit, then someone else would have replaced him.

On the other side.

Linghua Valley.

In the main hall, a middle-aged man looked at the four strong individuals below and spoke in a low voice:

"The situation is roughly as such, the Night Barrier was taken away by someone from Cangmu Sect.

Not only that, the Barrier has disappeared."

The two men and two women below came from four different Sects.

They looked at the position above and remained silent.

After a brief time, a beautiful matron finally spoke: "So, what does Daoist Yu call us here to say?"

Daoist Yu looked at everyone below and said softly: "At that place, besides the Barrier, there was also a Demon, which we captured.

He claimed that by obtaining the tree, he would have everything inside the Barrier, and as long as the Night Barrier is opened again, the disappeared items would be reconnected.

Do you know what’s inside?"

A bald man asked: "What is it?"

"Let’s start by discussing the Sect to which this Night Barrier belongs." Daoist Yu looked at everyone below and said:

"Holy Spirit Sect."

Upon hearing this, everyone’s hearts tensed.

Holy Spirit Sect was a heretical Sect that had been hunted down by countless Immortal Sects in the past.

The Night Barrier originated from them; it was said that they killed countless people in experiments to form the Barrier.

Furthermore, there was another reason for their persecution back then.

It was rumored they possessed a secret that peered into the infinite mysteries of the Heavenly Dao.

The matron looked up at the man above and said: "You mean, the secret of the Holy Spirit Sect is inside the Barrier?"

Daoist Yu looked at the four below and said with deep meaning:

"Who knows? I only know that the tree itself is a product of heretical paths, formed from the blood of innumerable beings.

Moreover, the person who left with it has had close contact with heretical forces.

The menace the Holy Spirit Sect brought in the past was no small matter.

Once someone contacts it, they almost inevitably became part of them.

You tell me, a Golden Core coming into contact with such a thing, and may even have mastered it.

Is he still safe?

I think we should have Cangmu Sect hand over both the person and the tree, for the venerable Immortal Sects like yourselves to deal with."

Upon hearing this, the four below fell silent for a moment.

Then, the bald man laughed and said: "I think Daoist Yu makes sense. If it were merely a matter of fortuitous opportunity, we naturally wouldn’t interfere.

But since this issue involves the Demon Sect and heretical paths, we obviously cannot stand by idly.

Such an Evil Object must not be utilized by the masses.

No one can be sure whether this tree still needs fresh blood sacrifices.

This requires a collective decision from all the Sects on whether to destroy or preserve it."

In a moment, they all reached a consensus.

Finally, everyone departed.

Preparing for the next steps.

In half a month, they would make a move towards Cangmu Sect.

This matter needed to be settled quickly; if delayed, the tree might already be used.

At this time, Gu An returned to the Outer Peak.

On his return, he also saw the people from the second team.

Currently, there weren’t any particular matters.

Only that Yu Tu had started his closed-door cultivation to make a breakthrough in Foundation Establishment.

During this time, people from Spirit Bamboo Peak came over wanting to visit Gu An.

Since he was not around, they couldn’t meet him.

They later wanted to meet Yu Tu.

Shu Ci and Pang Wen stopped them.

However, they left a letter.

"The letter was given to Yu Tu?" Gu An asked.

Shu Ci shook her head: "No, he was in a good status then, so I didn’t give it to him; it might affect his Foundation Building."
