After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In
Chapter 98: Just Bear with It and It’ll Pass

Chapter 98: Chapter 98: Just Bear with It and It’ll Pass

Gu An accepted the jade pendant, but he had no intention of using it.

The other party was trying to rope him in.

He didn’t know why.

Because he had reached Foundation Establishment? But there were many in the Inner Sect who had done the same; they didn’t necessarily have to court him.

It was likely just casually extending an olive branch, an extra pawn, which wasn’t a bad thing.

Afterward, no one came to interrogate him.

Not even the people from the Law Enforcement Hall had come by.

Seven days later.

Early November.

Gu An suddenly realized that it had been almost a year since he joined the Sect.

During these seven days, he hadn’t done much except calmly comprehend some basic Magic techniques.

He found that he was comprehending them very quickly.

His previously learned Swordsmanship had all reached the stage of Small Success.

However, progress in other areas was mediocre.

That day.

A young man walked in and said to Gu An:

"Everything has been settled, Junior Brother. There’s no denying the fact that you slaughtered fellow disciples.

Nevertheless, they ultimately broke the Sect rules in secret.

So, there’s a reason for what Junior Brother did.

But killing people is still killing people.

Therefore, we need to deduct your Merit and Spirit Stones, and then you will be exiled to the Ancient Wutong Tree Secret Realm.

You can only leave after completing the mission given by the Sect.

Or, you may leave the secret realm after fifty years.

Do you have any objections?"

"If I have objections, will there be a re-examination?" Gu An asked curiously.

"For the sake of preserving face for both sides, we hope Junior Brother has no objections," the visitor spoke.

Upon hearing this, Gu An nodded: "No objections."

"Then let’s go. You have to move there today," the other party said.

Gu An felt somewhat helpless for a moment.

The noodles were still at home.

Fortunately, Chu Meng was aware.

She should do something about it.

If he hadn’t made arrangements for the household in advance, that would truly be a mess.

He got up and followed the man out of the cell.

They then walked towards the mountain behind the Sect.

"Junior Brother, how old are you?" asked the Senior Brother from the Law Enforcement Hall on the way.

Gu An glanced at him, feeling that the man was only in his early twenties, but his cultivation was inscrutable.

"I’m almost fifty," Gu An replied.

"Did you do this to stand up for the Outer Sect?" the man asked again.

Gu An shook his head slightly: "For myself."

"For yourself?" The man seemed surprised.

"Yes," Gu An nodded.

"For those few Spirit Stones?"

"For the sake of a clear mind."

Making up a reason on the spot, Gu An thought to himself.

Hearing this, the Senior Brother from the Law Enforcement Hall paused, then laughed:

"Junior Brother is quite interesting. My name is Gudu Jing, and I hope we meet less frequently in the future."

Gu An nodded.

It should be so.

He had been impulsive this time partly because Chu Meng had said she would be lenient.

Normally, killing one would have been enough, but since he was going to kill, he naturally targeted the ones he most wanted to kill first.

Still, it was impulsive.

The fast pace of his advancement had made him arrogant.

Soon, Gu An arrived at a large hall on the back mountain.

The words "Ancient Wutong" were inscribed above.

Here, Gu An was guided into the hall by another person.

After entering through a door, Gu An felt the surrounding Qi had a scorching sensation.

The Spiritual Energy itself felt blistering hot.

Then he saw the situation inside.

A simple workshop, with houses built around it.

There were four or five people, all wearing shabby clothes with fierce expressions.

"From now on, you are one of the members here." Having said that, the man undid the talisman in Gu An’s hand.

He vanished on the spot, and there was no door behind him anymore.

Huh.

This made Gu An a bit puzzled.

He just left?

What about the mission?

And where would he stay?

At that moment, a few muscled men approached.

Gu An frowned as he observed them.

These people were all at the Foundation Establishment level.

Both Early Stage and Mid-stage were present.

"Which peak’s Junior Brother?" the rugged man with stubble asked.

"Outer Disciple." Gu An replied truthfully.

Hearing this, the rugged man’s eyebrows twitched in surprise: "Outer Sect? You from the Outer Sect can come here too?"

"Yes." Gu An nodded.

"You’re quite calm, do you know where this is? Come on, hand over your Storage Treasure." The rugged man approached Gu An, towering an entire head taller.

He stood above him, exuding an air of intimidation.

Gu An looked up at the man before him and said:

"Since brother and I are both here, why make things difficult for me?"

"Got something good in your Storage Treasure?" the rugged man sneered.

Several others who came with him were also laughing, slowly surrounding him.

Their expressions implied that handing it over was not optional.

Gu An sighed inwardly, the Exile Land indeed had no semblance of order.

He was getting bullied the moment he set foot here.

So, should he fight back or not?

If he made a move, it would be too conspicuous and he would likely be unable to live in peace afterward.

Forget it.

Endure it, and it will pass.

Gu An looked past the rugged man, feigning surprise: "What’s that?"

Curious, the rugged man looked behind him.

But the moment he turned his head, Gu An stepped back and delivered a kick.

Bang!

A powerful force struck the belly of the rugged man.

He didn’t even have time to react and was sent flying.

Then he crashed into a giant rock with a booming thud.

Wind slashed fiercely.

Gu An approached the man, swinging a punch, hitting hard on the cheek.

Bang!

The punch solidly connected with the man’s face.

His face distorted, shaking, and then he was sent flying.

Gu An followed up with a stomp.

Bang!

His fist tightened, energy gathering: "Brother, just bear with it. It’ll be over in a moment."

Bang!

The rugged man’s head smashed directly into the ground.

Blood flowed, though his head didn’t crack.

He was just a bit groggy.

Gu An felt a bit surprised inside, the man’s defenses were unexpectedly strong.

Though he had not used Gang Qi, that punch could have killed An Xinru.

Quite strong.

At this moment, the surrounding people were shocked.

The rugged man, regaining his senses, found it unbelievable.

Instinctively, he used his hands to push off the ground and retreat a few steps.

Gu An looked at him: "Remember to call me Senior Brother in the future."

The rugged man: "...."

But he dared not shake his head.

"Additionally." Gu An said calmly to the crowd: "I seemed to have dropped some Spirit Stones, did you find them?"

The crowd: "..."

Eventually, Gu An received thirty Spirit Stones.

The brothers in the Exile Land were more righteous than those outside, giving him a bit extra.

If it were outside, it would be at most twenty-five.

Afterward, Gu An sat quietly, waiting.

Those people were restless, but they had to stay here awaiting task assignments.

A feeling of sitting on pins and needles.

From these people, Gu An learned that there were over a dozen areas here, each inhabited by those exiled.

If there were any problems, they would have to go to the Sect Guard Station.

Quite a distance from here.

Every so often, guards from the station would bring resources and tasks.

That would also be the time to hand in completed tasks.

Moreover, breathing here would make the Spiritual Energy searing hot.

Over time it would burn wildly, requiring the Sect’s provided resources to soothe.

Otherwise, one would go mad from Deviation and die.

The Exile Land, a place where one would suffer upon entry.

Even their foundation could be damaged, and no one from the Sect would willingly come here.

They wouldn’t send ordinary disciples either, as coming here meant being ruined.

So, they threw in those who made mistakes; it couldn’t be better.

Some explored, some collected treasures, no need to worry about them being destroyed.

Gu An kept his gaze low, no wonder it was possible to exchange for Spirit Stones or Merits.

Once here, the future was devoid of hope.

Especially for an Outer Disciple like him, even if he could leave, he wouldn’t be valued.

Joining the Inner Sect, no one would care.

After all, coming from the Exile Land, the foundation was likely damaged.

No prospects, no future.
