#164 - Almost offended the entire sect
Law Enforcement Hall, Main Prison.
Gu An had his five senses sealed for the first few days after being brought in, constantly awaiting trial.
It would be a lie to say he wasn't worried.
Especially since he had no ability to escape.
His current cultivation would be considered quite good in many places.
Especially in the beginning, at the Vajra Wood Spirit Garden.
He could have completely carved out his own territory.
But that place held no significance for him.
Besides being more comfortable, it didn't help him improve, nor could he obtain many spirit stones.
It couldn't compare to this place, where hundreds of spirit stones were readily available.
Amidst various worries, his senses were unsealed, and he saw many people being arrested.
The matter was significant, and his future was bleak.
The bigger the matter, the less room he had to maneuver.
But compared to the blade of Thousand Dust Peak, a glimmer of hope emerged.
"Are you listening to me?" Chu Meng said displeased:
"The superior is speaking, and you're daydreaming?"
Gu An came back to his senses, looking at the person before him and said, "Senior, can I ask you a question?"
"Ask away." Chu Meng sat down, eating peanuts as she said.
It seemed she was a little tired after speaking for so long.
"What is Senior's cultivation level now?" Gu An asked the question in his heart.
During the Qi Refining stage, Gu An thought Chu Meng might be Foundation Establishment.
But even at Foundation Establishment Perfection, he couldn't see through her cultivation.
Now, in the early Core Formation stage, that powerful feeling still made him swell with pride.
Yet he still couldn't see through the cultivation of the person before him.
Could her cultivation speed be faster than his?
Unless she could also advance by lumberjacking.
"Me?" Chu Meng pointed to herself, proudly saying:
"Of course, I'm a Great Core Formation expert."
"Then what was Senior's cultivation level when you were in the Vajra Spirit Wood Garden?" Gu An asked.
"Foundation Establishment, ah." Chu Meng pondered for a moment and said:
"I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it. You were so cruel back then.
Facing a fairy as beautiful and graceful as me, were you not moved?
That bitch has you so infatuated?"
Gu An: "..."
"All you see is infatuation or not."
Gu An recalled that woman, feeling that she was too cruel.
"Senior, did you advance so quickly?" Gu An asked back.
Regardless of whether Chu Meng was in the early or late stage of Foundation Establishment back then.
She was definitely not in the early Core Formation stage now.
This advancement speed was outrageously fast.
Hearing this, Chu Meng chuckled: "Aren't you impressed by your superior's strength? Let me tell you the truth, I am a peerless genius, one in ten thousand."
Gu An was speechless:
He didn't know how to respond for a moment.
"How did you reach Core Formation?" Chu Meng asked back.
"I'm also a peerless genius." Gu An replied perfunctorily.
Chu Meng pondered for a moment and said: "Could it be that this hidden line of yours was specially arranged by that bitch? Are you actually a strong expert?
Then, you pretended to advance step by step, causing big trouble step by step, and then opened a gap for that bitch.
For example, when you killed people in the Outer Sect, that bitch's hand reached over.
Now that you're rampaging in the Inner Sect, that bitch's hand has reached out again.
Could it be that you're silently protecting her, holding her in your heart?"
Gu An: "..."
"Your mind thinks of so many things."
Not paying attention to these things, Gu An asked about the current situation.
As for the poison, he wouldn't ask about it for now.
It would be bad if she remembered to increase the dosage.
He wanted to advance again to see if he could dissolve the poison in his body.
How could he be poisoned during the Qi Refining stage and still not be able to dissolve it after reaching Core Formation?
"The situation?" Chu Meng finally came back to her senses and said:
"The situation is very complicated, completely beyond expectations."
Saying that, she sighed and said: "You killed people, causing a big commotion. The people from the Law Enforcement Hall rushed over immediately, and then you should have talked about the corruption, right?"
Gu An nodded: "Yes, the problem with the Spirit Treasure Vault, the problem with the axes in the Iron Heart Wood Management Office, and the situation at the Lecture Hall Square."
"The people from the Law Enforcement Hall seemed to have held a meeting, and then three days after you were arrested, they took action.
They took over the knife from Thousand Dust Peak and replaced it with the knife of the Law Enforcement Hall.
They arrested hundreds of people and killed over a hundred."
"Would the people from Thousand Dust Peak allow the Law Enforcement Hall to do this?" Gu An was somewhat incredulous.
"Otherwise? Do you think the Law Enforcement Hall is just eating for free?" Chu Meng said seriously: "Everyone is most afraid of the Law Enforcement Hall when they get serious, but Thousand Dust Peak is indeed dissatisfied.
Then they made a request."
"What is it?" Gu An was somewhat concerned.
Chu Meng smiled and said: "They said that since Thousand Dust Peak has investigated, then let's investigate other places as well. Then the Thousand Dust Peak purge directly turned into a sect-wide purge.
Many people died, and even more were arrested. The sect has become much deserted."
Saying that, Chu Meng smiled and said: "Congratulations, you angered and killed over a dozen people, completely offending the entire sect.
The Law Enforcement Hall doesn't know how to deal with you anymore. Anyway, there won't be a good ending."
Gu An was somewhat at a loss.
He didn't expect such a result.
Then, even if he left the Law Enforcement Hall, it would be difficult for him to survive.
Then go to the Land of Exile?
If he could go to the Land of Exile, it would be a good thing.
He was just afraid he couldn't go.
He killed so many people and caused problems in other places as well.
These people would most likely not let him live.
The Law Enforcement Hall also had to give an explanation to appease the various peaks.
Therefore, he, the instigator, would definitely be sent out.
His end would definitely be miserable.
"Scared?" Chu Meng said, eating peanuts: "Why didn't you think of this earlier?
You just didn't take the words of your superior to heart.
If you're too submissive, they will definitely bully and trample you, but if you're too bad, they will destroy you.
If your talent is too high and you're too strong, they won't feel at ease with you either.
Only if you're about the same as them can they feel at ease.
You can be a little stronger towards your subordinates, but don't obviously touch their interests when dealing with superiors.
Then no one will care about you.
I realized all this from a young age."
"So Senior was captured by me?" Gu An asked.
Hearing this, Chu Meng's brow twitched, and she put down the peanuts and said:
"What are you subordinates interrupting when the leader is speaking?
Do you want to get out?
Do you want to live?"
Hearing this, Gu An was stunned: "Is there still a possibility for me to leave alive?"
"Don't you see who your superior is? A peerless genius of the sect. I just wanted to hide my talent before, but I didn't expect to be captured by you. The more I think about it, the angrier I get." Chu Meng clenched her fist and said: "If my strength was stronger back then, and I broke through my injuries, I would have definitely severed your tendons."
Gu An lowered his eyes and didn't say anything more to provoke the person before him.
"The sect-wide purge won't be that fast, after all, it involves many interests, so you can only stay here for about two more months before your verdict comes." Chu Meng said seriously:
"This time, that bitch has gained a lot of benefits. In two more months, we can determine how much she has gained.
So from the current point of view, your mission is complete.
If you complete it well enough, guaranteeing your safety won't be a problem.
But it's also possible that her interests will be damaged. Once damaged, if she doesn't take action, only I will be left.
I might not be able to get you out.
But I will try my best, at least to keep you alive."
Gu An was quite touched. He would have been even more touched if his state hadn't been affected by charm techniques.
