Chapter 116: Chapter 116: Chu Meng: Has He Come Out?
Exile Land.
After Gu An left, a group of people returned to the house and were surprised to see traces of blood on the ground.
"Who has been here?" a middle-aged man asked.
An Immortal immediately checked the grounds and said, "Someone has completed a task and left. We need to check who it was."
Another man investigated and said:
"Junior Brother Wanyan is dead."
Quickly, he flew out, and eventually brought back a leg and a Storage Treasure.
The belongings of the prisoner inside were still there, but everything else was gone.
"It must have been someone from the Exile Land who killed him," the middle-aged man said with lowered brows.
"What shall we do? Should we report this to the Sect?" an Immortal asked.
The middle-aged man’s face was gloomy as he spoke:
"How can we report this?
People from Zones 7,8,9, ninety percent have died.
Who will take responsibility?
Forget the Law Enforcement Hall; they won’t come, but what if they do?
The matter is too serious; once they investigate, do you believe we could end up in the Exile Land?
I told you all to restrain yourselves, and now you’ve provoked a disaster; the slightest mistake could lead to death."
"Our people died, and we’re just going to leave it at that?" a young man asked.
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man scoffed coldly and beheaded him with a sword.
Head separated from the body.
At that moment, the middle-aged man’s eyes were filled with malevolence: "If you can’t understand human speech, then don’t listen."
Then he looked at everyone coldly and said:
"Everyone restrain yourselves, don’t let the remaining people die, and get them recovered as soon as possible.
If the higher-ups discover a sudden decrease in the quantity of Parasol Wood, we all die.
You even dared to hand over that Blood Array to them; I really don’t know what you think with."
Everyone bowed their heads, not daring to speak.
They didn’t expect matters to escalate to this extent.
...
In the afternoon heat, Gu An stood on the back mountain and took a deep breath.
There was not a trace of scorching sensation in this breath.
Finally, he was out.
Had he not escaped promptly during the outbreak, his body couldn’t have withstood it.
Despite the ease of killing the opponent in the end, it was actually very perilous.
Had the opponent not underestimated him, he would have been in danger for sure.
But having killed someone, it would definitely become known.
"It depends on whether the people of the Exile Land will investigate thoroughly, which they logically shouldn’t."
A lot has happened inside, many people have died.
A simple report to the Law Enforcement Hall would not draw their attention.
If they investigate thoroughly, they won’t get any good from it either.
One Wanyan Hua dead is just that - dead.
Not as important as themselves.
So Gu An wasn’t too worried.
Even if he was really sought after by the Law Enforcement Hall, it wouldn’t matter.
Who can say he killed people?
He left legitimately; at most, he concealed his cultivation.
Back in the Outer Sect, Gu An confirmed the date.
He found the time to be the same as in the Exile Land, now early May.
Next month is the Inner Sect recruitment day.
He should still be able to participate.
But as to the specifics, he was not certain.
After hesitating, he decided to head to the task inquiry place.
To ask Senior Sister Chen.
She should know.
It’s a pity that Hua Jiyang wasn’t around, or else asking him would have been best.
Now he could only inquire with Senior Sister Chen Yue; in the Outer Sect, she was the only powerful person he knew.
He was not able to discern her true strength initially.
Maybe today, he might be able to.
After all, various signs indicated she was not like an ordinary Outer Disciple.
A moment later, Gu An arrived at the task reception area.
Peering inside, he indeed saw Senior Sister Chen Yue still sitting in her spot, reading a book.
Gu An stepped forward, respectfully performed a greeting: "Senior Sister Chen."
By now, he had realized that his counterpart had actually reached the Perfect Foundation Establishment cultivation.
Isn’t that too high?
Why would such an Inner Sect Disciple come to a place like this?
To fish for benefits?
It’s quite possible.
He had already given plenty of things, not to mention others.
After all, controlling the pathway for Outer Disciples to enter the Inner Sect.
Additionally, this shows that Chen Yue is no simple character.
Such a good job would certainly not be obtained by an ordinary person.
And upon hearing the voice, Chen Yue looked up in surprise, slightly incredulous upon seeing who it was: "Junior Brother Gu An?"
Gu An nodded, smiling, "Senior Sister Chen still remembers me."
"How could I forget? A few months ago, tales about Junior Brother were all over the Outer Sect, though they have quieted down recently," Chen Yue said as she looked at Gu An, scrutinizing him before speaking:
"How did Junior Brother manage to get out? Did someone fetch you?"
Gu An replied with a wry smile, "It was merely an accident. This time, I’ve come to consult Senior Sister about an issue."
Chen Yue did not ask further about the Exile Land and instead said: "About entering the Inner Sect?"
"Can’t hide it from Senior Sister." Gu An nodded.
"You should know that there are two ways to be selected for the Inner Sect: one is the Inner Sect actively picking candidates, and the other is the Sect competition," Chen Yue said, looking at the person in front of her:
"The Inner Sect often selects disciples with potential.
Young in age, high in talent, or possessing other special talents.
How old is Junior Brother?"
"Forty-seven," Gu An answered.
"A forty-seven-year-old at Foundation Establishment, who has also been to the Exile Land, doesn’t have much potential in their eyes. So, there’s no need to bother with the first opportunity.
Of course, the first chance is half a month away. You can register here, and then you’ll go to the Inner Sect Great Hall.
If someone picks you, you can directly enter the Inner Sect.
If not, you can only wait for the Sect competition." Chen Yue explained.
Hearing this, Gu An pondered for a moment, deciding to try his luck to see if anyone would pick him.
"Registration is also ten Spirit Stones." Chen Yue looked at the person before her and said with a smile: "Having just come out from the Exile Land, you probably don’t have any Spirit Stones. I’ll lend you ten, and you can repay me fifteen in return."
Gu An intended to bring out Spirit Stones, but in the end, he could only nod his head in gratitude: "Thank you, Senior Sister."
After registering, Gu An turned and left.
In fact, he had a lot of Spirit Stones.
Nearly a thousand.
Quite wealthy.
...
Spirit Bamboo Peak.
The backyard of a small courtyard.
Chu Meng was leisurely grinding medicinal herbs.
"It’s May now, I should be able to fetch people next month. By then, they should be kneeling to thank me – their superior. Where else could they find a superior who cares so much about their subordinates?"
"This scoundrel really knows how to cause trouble for me, continue to settle in the Outer Sect, definitely going to be trouble if let in too early."
Thinking so, Chu Meng packed up the powdered Spiritual Medicine.
At this moment, hastened footsteps came from outside.
Chu Meng turned to look.
Chunyu approached her rapidly, respectfully bowing: "Miss."
Chu Meng frowned and asked, "What’s happening?"
"News from a subordinate regarding that disciple from the Exile Land," Chunyu reported immediately.
Hearing this, Chu Meng was somewhat surprised, but didn’t show it: "Did that person die in there?"
"No." Chunyu shook her head, speaking earnestly: "He’s come out."
Chu Meng was stunned: "Come out? How did he get out?"
"He completed a task, but no one knows how he did it. Nobody delved into the matter.
Currently, not many people are aware that he’s already out," Chunyu spoke.
Chu Meng stood there, dumbfounded.
To die at a time other than May would mean wanting to enter the Inner Sect in June.
Doesn’t that mean this scoundrel won’t know about me fetching people in June? Not to mention missing out on being grateful, he wouldn’t even feel the good deed of me fetching someone?
Chu Meng: "...."
Scoundrels are really the most annoying.
No matter, his core is damaged, I can still send Elixir Pills.
