After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 312 - 245: Senior Brother Shi’s Methods (Part 2)

After discovering the fourth volume, his Qi Sea Sky Gang became completely different.

The poisons are all cracking open.

The Xuanhuang Qi is even more extraordinary.

He could have given up before, but now...

He truly couldn’t bear to let it go.

Returning to the courtyard, Gu An found four people standing at the door.

They were the four members of the second team.

"Team Leader." Pang Wen and the others respectfully saluted.

Gu An looked over; Pang Wen was here, as were Shu Ci, Ruan Huan, and Shang Huo.

In other words, Ran Xin, who had reached Perfect Foundation Establishment, was missing.

From the beginning, he could sense the other’s ambition.

Now, his departure seemed reasonable and logical.

"Just the four of you?" Gu An asked them.

"Yes." Pang Wen said, "Ran Xin decided to develop with a new sect."

"Ah, that’s good." Gu An nodded, "From now on, we’re part of the Demon Sect, be careful when you go out. As for this matter, you can ask Shu Ci; she’s experienced and knowledgeable, and might understand how to be a good Demon Sect Disciple."

For a moment, everyone turned their gaze towards Shu Ci.

She said somewhat awkwardly, "Team Leader, I don’t understand much either, but if everyone trusts me, I can share what I know."

She started explaining how to be a Demon Sect Disciple right in Gu An’s courtyard.

Even Duanmu Qingping, who was passing by, was stunned to hear it.

He couldn’t help but stop and listen as well.

To put it simply, it was about concealing one’s identity.

Because Cangmu Sect was just nominally a Demon Sect, there were no issues with the cultivation techniques.

When outside, there would be no problems as long as they didn’t wear sect garments.

It wasn’t as dangerous as they thought.

Even if their identities were discovered, there was no need to worry.

If they could win a fight, it didn’t matter; if they couldn’t, they just needed to run quickly, so they needed to cultivate their movement techniques.

But there were also benefits; when buying things, they could reveal their Demon Sect identity.

Others would fear the danger and go easier when fleecing.

Gu An felt a myriad of emotions listening to all this.

Out of necessity, everyone was beginning to adapt to life in the Demon Sect.

Out of the blue, he received feedback from the Ring of Destiny.

[Yesterday afternoon, Shi Yuan saw that you were not threatened, so he knew you would definitely stay in the sect. To give you some hardship, he found someone, and at last, assigned you a sect task.

Tomorrow, the task will fall into your hands.

The sect is currently in a chaotic state, and logging will undoubtedly be affected.

The people from the Law Enforcement Hall will not manage such matters.

They mostly issue temporary tasks and have others deal with them.

Take attendance, fine Spirit Stones, or imprison people in solitary confinement.

This time he has plotted for you the position of task team leader.

The rest of the team are his people, none will cooperate with you.

At that time, facing some fellow sect members at the Perfect Golden Core Late Stage, you will only be able to leave in disgrace.

Additionally, this is a despised task.

At that time, the entire sect will resent you.]

Gu An’s expression showed no change.

This Senior Brother sure had good intentions, actually giving him such a task.

It was a time of great change in the sect, normally no one would pay attention to the logging matter.

But precisely because no one cared, the exemption from all logging tasks was never implemented.

Now they still wanted him to keep records and enforce punishment.

It really was rather inconsiderate.

Yet, it seemed to fit the characteristics of the Demon Sect.

And by doing this, he would certainly be denounced; if he did well, numerous people would hold grudges against him.

Trouble was inevitable sooner or later.

And if he didn’t do well...

He would be criticized all the same.

Because there would always be part of the sect involved in logging, wouldn’t they feel that their efforts were in vain?

This was a task that would please no one regardless of the approach.

Initially, Gu An thought that Senior Brother Shi would try to secretly attack him, to kill him.

Then, he could just counterattack in secret.

Looking at it now, the other party didn’t seem to want to take action directly.

And lately, the Law Enforcement Hall seemed stricter than before.

Once someone died, it would lead to an immediate investigation and arrest.

If a fight caused a bit of noise, it could easily attract the Law Enforcement Hall’s people.

If a Primordial Spirit battle occurred, they might arrive before the person was killed.

In which case, instead of killing his target, he would be the one getting caught.

The loss would outweigh the gain.

Indeed, as Shu Ci was coming to the end of her talk, Gu An received the notification.

Sect task, to be carried out tomorrow.

Inspect the logging forest of the sect, find all those who haven’t completed their tasks, record them, and enforce punishment.

If necessary, capture some people for immediate custody.

Right on the spot, the cluster of buildings belonging to the logging forest. There, there was a guarded house.

Junior Brother Gu An had been there before.

Four people form a team, this task must be completed within the month.

However, it’s not the entire sect that I have to inspect, only three places.

Beneath Heavenly Suspension Peak, Spirit Bamboo Peak, and the Outer Door East District.

Other places were not under his jurisdiction.

Heavenly Suspension Peak was precisely the main peak where Gu An himself resided.

Offending them meant that the reputation won by the bamboo forest would be worn down.

And Spirit Bamboo Peak, almost entirely made up of female cultivators, to offend them would be like offending countless brothers and sisters of the sect.

After all, there were many beautiful Immortals on Spirit Bamboo Peak, pursued by all peaks.

Pang Wen looked towards Gu An, seemingly curious about what was going on.

Gu An shook his head slightly, "It’s nothing, just carry on as usual."

Because they had become a part of the Demon Sect, the people in the second team seemed much more united than before.

After all, feeling the danger from others in different places, they could rely on their teammates.

Shu Ci talked a lot, some of it useful, some merely gibberish.

For some reason, Gu An felt she enjoyed talking.

He seemed to have never experienced such a feeling.

Even taught people how to be a disciple of the Demon Sect.

When they left, they were all smiles and laughter.

The next day.

Gu An took a deep breath and arrived at the rendezvous location, below Heavenly Suspension Peak.

The first stop of the mission was right here.

In front of the logging forest, Gu An stood at the entrance waiting.

The three-day limit for leaving the sect had passed, but still many had not reacted.

There weren’t many people who came to complete the logging task.

Not even half as many as expected.

Gu An waited a long while before he saw three people approaching sluggishly.

Gu An’s eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Senior Brother Shi had assigned him two men and one woman, one man muscular in appearance, carrying a Giant Sword.

He appeared to also be from Heavenly Suspension Peak.

Another was holding a multicolored snake in his hand.

Both carried a whiff of Poisonous Gas.

Probably disciples from the Spirit Controlling Peak.

The last person was a woman, clasping a sword, carrying some arrogance.

She didn’t seem to take Gu An seriously.

All three of them were at the Golden Core Middle Stage of cultivation.

And each one was close to the Late Stage.

With such cultivation, he couldn’t command them nor was he a match for them.

In this way, there was nothing he could do.

And he was the main person in charge this time.

So, the main responsibility was on him.

"Junior Brother Gu?" The muscular man looked at Gu An and said, "You’re Junior Brother Gu, right?"

Gu An nodded, "Yes, it’s me."

"So Junior Brother Gu is here. The three of us have just met up and have been looking for Junior Brother Gu everywhere, but haven’t seen anyone.

We didn’t expect Junior Brother Gu to be right here.

If you had given a signal, we wouldn’t have wasted so much time.

We also made Junior Brother Gu wait in vain." The muscular man said.

"Yes, we did look for a long time, indeed, we did not see Junior Brother Gu." The woman also chimed in.

"Junior Brother, as the leader of this mission, we couldn’t find you right away. Surely you won’t blame us?" The man holding the snake looked at Gu An, "You’re not that petty, are you?"

Gu An looked at the three, feeling like they had said everything, good and bad.

"You three have delayed the inspection." Gu An spoke up.

"It’s our fault, shall we start the inspection then?" The muscular man said with a smile, "The three of us will definitely cooperate with Junior Brother Gu, taking Junior Brother Gu’s lead as command."

"Yes, we will certainly take Junior Brother’s lead, and we will take action when Junior Brother tells us to." The Immortal with folded arms also followed suit.

At this moment, several disciples hurriedly approached the logging forest from afar.

The moment they saw people, the muscular man immediately drew his Giant Sword and with one swing stopped everyone in their tracks.

Then his gruff voice rang out:

"By the order of Gu An Junior Brother, supervising everyone’s logging.

Everyone line up now, and report your situation to Junior Brother Gu.

Whether you have been logging, whether you have been diligent, whether you have reflected on your own faults.

Record what must be recorded, fine what must be fined, and those who need to go to the dark cells will go.

Anger our Junior Brother Gu An, and you’ll regret it."

For a moment, three Golden Core Qi spread out.

They even took out Tokens, claiming they were acting on Gu An’s orders, representing the sect to inspect.

They couldn’t overlook any issues.

Gu An, standing behind, hadn’t even said a word.

They just suddenly took action.

Keeping him silent.
