Chapter 365: Chapter 270: This World Needs My Protection_2

"Never mind, let him go," Gu An said offhandedly: "There is no use keeping him here."

Hearing this, Chen Changfeng immediately responded: "No, I’ll go."

Gu An fell silent.

He actually hadn’t expected the other party to go, and indeed, he really did want to let him go.

This was a genius. Where others struggled to reach Foundation Establishment, he was about to break through to Primordial Spirit. There was no need to confine him here.

Better for him to shine and make his mark outside.

He also didn’t want to make an enemy of him.

"Release him," Gu An said, looking at Pang Wen.

The person was then set free.

Chen Changfeng said, "There are no articles of association, right?"

Gu An looked at the Seal left by the Law Enforcement Hall, then helped him remove it.

In an instant.

The perfect cultivation of his Golden Core was revealed.

This made Chen Changfeng somewhat anxious: "It won’t be that once I leave Cangmu Sect, I can’t return, right?"

Gu An: "..."

Others listening also felt it strange.

Shouldn’t you be worried about whether there are other hidden schemes?

"It won’t be like that, just report back when it’s time," Gu An shook his head: "Junior Brother Yang, get someone to take him out."

"You’re really not tricking me into leaving on purpose?" Chen Changfeng earnestly asked.

Gu An shook his head: "No."

"What about the time limit for returning?" Chen Changfeng asked.

"Half a year," Gu An replied offhandedly.

Only then was the other party sent away.

Gu An let out a sigh of relief, then said to Pang Wen: "If he hasn’t returned after half a year, strike his name from the records, and if he seeks acknowledgement, act as if you don’t know him."

Pang Wen listened, somewhat astonished.

He has never seen such a scenario.

One wants to release, the other doesn’t want to leave.

Then Gu An looked at everyone inside and said: "You can leave for half a year. If you think you can escape First Institute’s control within that time, there’s no need to come back.

Who will go?"

"What will happen if the mission fails?" Leng Qingtao, who had been silent, asked.

"Submit one hundred Spirit Stones," Gu An replied.

"I’ll go to Returning to Void," Leng Qingtao volunteered, paused, and then asked:

"What if I obtained something and didn’t return?"

"If you can escape, that’s your own ability," Gu An stated blandly.

The other party went silent, then looked at Gu An and said: "Release it."

After that, Leng Qingtao was also sent away.

"The last spot is yours," Gu An looked at Qiao He: "If you’re successful, you can submit the item and leave directly. If you fail, submit five thousand Spirit Stones, and you may also leave."

Qiao He was momentarily stunned, then joyfully said: "I’ll go."

To many, Gu An seemed rather foolish.

Once these people left, they were completely out of control.

Especially since there was no punishment.

If they obtained something, couldn’t they just hide it?

Gu An didn’t care; he was simply here to complete a mission.

Whether the people he sent failed or succeeded didn’t matter.

Initially, just having Chen Changfeng would have been enough.

But to avoid arousing suspicion, one from each realm was sent.

In this way, even if something was indeed obtained, and it remained in his possession,

It wouldn’t arouse suspicion.

After all, from what everyone could see, it was all just luck.

Chances were higher that the person would just flee if they got something.

How could these people genuinely intend to bring anything back?

They were not fools.

How much could he really do to restrict them?

Thus, from the start, he had prepared for the mission to fail.

That woman must have already arranged for people to compete for the opportunity.

Miss him or not, it didn’t matter.

Afterward, Gu An left First Institute and went to Qingmu City.

Because of that piece of news, Qingmu City had also become bustling. Talismans, Elixir Pills, Magic Treasures, their prices all soared.

It seemed many were ready to try their luck.

An opportunity had arisen, and even by stirring the waters, one could potentially reap great rewards.

Gu An arrived at a small talisman shop, only to see the shopkeeper selling talismans.

The prices had gone up quite a bit.

Gu An started to help with the sales as soon as he arrived.

Almost every talisman was now two Spirit Stones more expensive.

Because inventory was becoming increasingly scarce.

There were also some who wanted to buy on credit, but no one was willing.

Because this struggle for the opportunity could be fatal.

Many would join the fray and could end up dying there.

Buying on credit was tantamount to giving it away for free.

After the customers left, Qin Shufu asked whether Gu An also intended to search for the opportunity.

Gu An shook his head, indicating he had no such plans.

Then the other party gave him a list.

It was from the Ouyang Family.

Subsequently, Gu An spotted the name Xiao Ning in his eyes.

Thus, Gu An retracted his gaze.

The list detailed the person’s age and cultivation.

Less than a hundred years old, at the Foundation Establishment realm.

Not bad at all.

Gu An put away the list and wasn’t in a hurry to do anything.

Late in May.

Gu An still logged at night, while spending his days in Qingmu City.

The matters of the First Institute and the second team were almost entirely left to Pang Wen and the others.

Now that the number of people sent to preach and teach the dharma had increased, the revenue naturally increased as well.

In addition, some people came because of the fame, which also brought a lot of Spirit Stones to the First Institute.

In a little over half a month, they had accumulated two thousand Spirit Stones.

If this continued, about three thousand Spirit Stones could be expected in a month.

He would take one thousand five hundred for himself; the rest would be used for their cultivation.

Barely enough, but if one wanted to advance rapidly, it was far from sufficient.

Lately, the Sect battles had finally stopped, and everyone was preparing for the Fire Phoenix Tomb.

Currently, all were heading there.

Qingmu City had grown much quieter.

Many from the Cangmu Sect had left.

Everyone had their thoughts about this.

Gu An originally thought there wouldn’t be much to busy himself with in the short term.

But then, Senior Sister Qing sought him out and brought a middle-aged man with her.

He probably wasn’t from their Sect.

"Who is this?" Gu An performed the greeting ceremony, slightly curious.

"This is a prisoner captured by our fellow senior brothers and sisters," Senior Sister Qing said while looking at Gu An:

"My main reason for coming here is to seek Junior Brother’s help."

Bringing a captive naturally had to do with incarceration.

Or perhaps for interrogation?

Gu An fell silent for a moment; he didn’t seem to be skilled at interrogation.

"You want to ask him some things?" Gu An still asked.

The other party nodded and said, "Yes, we’ve heard that Junior Brother often makes people write down techniques, and we would like to request Junior Brother to make him write down his techniques.

As compensation, we can pay three thousand Spirit Stones, one Foundation Establishment Pill, one Heavenly Yuan Pill, one Primordial Spirit Pill, and one Heavenly Yang Pill."

Upon hearing this, Gu An was somewhat surprised.

These Elixir Pills were all used for breaking through bottlenecks.

Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Primordial Spirit, Returning to Void.

Plus three thousand Spirit Stones.

A big offer.

Gu An was indeed tempted, but...

He shook his head slightly and said, "We’re not skillful at this, I’m afraid it might be somewhat difficult to accomplish."

Senior Sister Qing pondered for a moment and said, "It’s okay, we have plenty of time, if Junior Brother still hasn’t gotten the information after three years, we can take the person back.

In addition, the Elixir Pills and Spirit Stones that are paid, Junior Brother only needs to return the Spirit Stones.

Anything else obtained from this person belongs to Junior Brother.

But there’s one request.

That is, the techniques we designate should preferably not be shown to others, although Junior Brother may look at it if need be to verify authenticity.

However, it’s best if what we get is genuine."

Listening to these conditions, Gu An eventually agreed.

These had no downsides for him, and returning three thousand Spirit Stones if needed was okay.

It was like an interest-free loan for three years.

If he didn’t accomplish it, indeed, he should not accept payment.

The more valuable things were the Elixir Pills.

The other party didn’t seem to want them back either.

Their sincerity was enough.

Additionally, it was something trivial for him and indeed hard to refuse.

"Alright." Gu An nodded, then inquired about the information of the middle-aged man and the technique required by the other party.

Chunyu, a disciple of Ancient Moon Tower, was at the Returning to Void Perfection realm, in possession of the once-in-ten-thousand-years secret technique of Ancient Moon Tower, Shining Through the Ages.

Returning to Void Perfection?

Gu An was slightly surprised in his heart. Was someone at the Returning to Void Perfection level captured?

Who made the move?

Before taking the prisoner away, out of curiosity, Gu An asked if there was any intention to take in Qingmu City families.

The other party asked for the family name.

Gu An provided the name.

The other person said they’d have to go back and ask.

Afterward, Gu An bid them farewell and led the prisoner towards the First Institute.

When they arrived at the entrance, the man showed a bit of surprise, "This place is indeed quite extraordinary."

Gu An slightly nodded, "Senior will be residing here from now on."

Chunyu looked at Gu An and asked, "What do you plan to use to coerce me?"

The latter shook his head, "Senior, please settle in first. I’m not planning to torture, whenever Senior sorts things out and informs me, that will be fine.

I only wish that Senior will not give the people staying here a hard time."

Chunyu was surprised, "Aren’t you curious about what kind of technique Shining Through the Ages is? It’s a Great Divine Power.

Even my own Sect does not know that I possess it. I didn’t expect your Sect to be aware of it."

Great Divine Power? Gu An didn’t harbor any greed but instead said, "Then Senior might want to consider whether to write it down or not, once it’s written, Senior will be able to leave."

Senior Sister Qing had agreed that once the person handed over the technique, how to proceed was entirely up to Gu An.
