After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 42 - Hua Jiyang is Wanted
42: Chapter 42 Hua Jiyang is Wanted
42 -42 Hua Jiyang is Wanted
Hua Jiyang was the first person Gu An encountered in the logging area.
The other party was not weak in strength, merely concealing his cultivation.
But this person not only offered a Cultivation Technique but also other things.
He could be described as extremely friendly.
However, Gu An could not understand what his intentions were.
Several months had passed.
The other party had never mentioned needing anything.
It made one slightly concerned.
Always being on guard.
Fearful of being dragged into the other’s whirlpool.
But…
It never happened.
Unusual.
In the Spirit Tree Garden outside, he had not been unfair to Yang Shi, yet in the end, it turned out that the other party wanted to climb over him to gain a higher position.
Thinking of this, Gu An suddenly realized that he seemed to be in Yang Shi’s position now.
That…
Did Yang Shi initially also think that his kindness had an ulterior motive?
At that time, it was indeed just a casual help.
“Junior Brother, I have to go.
At your age, don’t be reckless.
Although your cultivation is not bad, in a few years, many from the Outer Sect will surpass you,” Hua Jiyang’s voice came through.
After finishing speaking, he chopped down trees for a while longer then left.
Gu An did not stop.
What he needed most now was to quickly increase his strength.
Unfortunately, once the time in the logging area was up, one had to leave.
Because the scorching heat from logging could burn the body, continuous logging day and night cannot be sustained for long.
Every day, Gu An also carried injuries.
However, in necessary situations, he would use a Healing Talisman.
Quite wasteful, but that’s the downside of living deep in the east.
Otherwise, why would hardly anyone come here?
Spiritual Energy was sparse, survival of the fittest.
Chasing good places could promote the growth of disciples; there always has to be someone enjoying the good or enduring the bad.
With each chop of logging, Gu An could feel the pain in his body, and also feel the presence of the Warm Current.
The Magic value was slowly increasing.
Hard Cultivation value increased sluggishly.
Work at sunrise and rest at sunset.
Time passed day by day.
The beginning of March.
It was the day to collect resources again.
Gu An successfully obtained Spirit Stones and Merits.
Today, people still came to “borrow” Spirit Stones.
Seeing the poverty Gu An lived in, the four visitors each ended up “lending” him five Spirit Stones each.
After sending them off, Gu An did not dwell on this matter.
These people probably really just came to “borrow” Spirit Stones.
Such people, unless they seek a powerful backer, would not come again.
After confirming no one else was around, Gu An checked his panel.
[Name: Gu An]
[Cultivation: Qi Refining Seventh Layer]
[Status: Poisoned]
[Magic: 45/50]
[Hard Cultivation: 85/100]
[Ring of Destiny]
“It’s almost enough, but the progress is not very fast, especially for Magic.”
“I don’t know if it’s because of the rise in Magic.”
Normally, Qi Sea Sky Gang takes a long time to improve.
Accumulating slowly is also reasonable.
But…
I don’t have to use it on Qi Sea Sky Gang.
If the realm of a certain Magic is high, obtaining Magic Warm Current slows down then….
It’s a loss.
Fortunately, the current pace is still acceptable; next steps have to involve confirming the Magic.
In the current situation, it’s certainly necessary to enhance Qi Sea Sky Gang.
This is my trump card.
The key to survival.
Today is a rest day, and Gu An has no plans to go out.
Hua Jiyang said he was busy with his own matters and hasn’t appeared since.
As for him saying that no one would cause trouble, that has indeed been the case.
And there has been no movement from Ren Shan’s side either.
Chu Meng is also acting normal, and it has been a long time since he came to disturb him.
“It would be best if things could continue smoothly, I just fear unexpected incidents.”
However, in the latter half of the month, though there were no incidents with him, others did have incidents.
In early March, Gu An encountered Feng Mei from a previous gathering, who was quite polite and said that Hua Jiyang was on a Sect mission crucial for him.
Approaching mid-March, Gu An heard many voices from the Outer Sect.
About Hua Jiyang.
Saying he murdered an Inner Sect Disciple, an outrage to both gods and men, and they meant to capture and kill him.
By mid-month, everyone in the Outer Sect associated with Hua Jiyang chose to distance themselves, even openly admitting they were wrong, vowing to fight him to the death.
Anyone on good terms with Hua Jiyang.
Couldn’t escape being questioned.
Not just that, the Inner Sect seemed to have powerful senior brothers targeting the Outer Sect.
Anyone associated with Hua Jiyang definitely wouldn’t end well.
Even Feng Mei, who was quite close to Hua Jiyang initially, could only deny knowing him and even said if they met, she would definitely inform the Sect.
She dared not have any relationship.
Today.
Gu An was also questioned.
It was by the skinny man who had borrowed Spirit Stones from him before.
The man stopped by Hua Jiyang.
He looked at Gu An with a smug smile: “What’s your name?”
“What’s senior brother’s name?” Gu An spoke evenly.
This was the logging area, where everyone was holding axes.
If a fight were to break out, these would be the most advantageous weapons.
“Yuan Mujin, remember this name, the one who will make you beg for mercy.” Yuan Mujin sneered, “You surely don’t want your Inner Sect Senior Brothers to know you’re on good terms with Hua Jiyang, right?”
Gu An looked at the person in front of him and said, “I don’t know him, but I remember senior brother was quite close to him, you even had a friendly handshake with him last time.
Many people saw it.
Senior brother also wouldn’t want the Inner Sect Senior Brothers to know the one truly close to Hua Jiyang is you, right?”
At this moment Gu An saw the people around looking over.
Yuan Mujin, somewhat shocked, bellowed: “You’re twisting the facts, isn’t it obvious who was close to Hua Jiyang?”
“Yes, senior brother, no matter how much you deny it, do the Inner Sect Senior Brothers believe you?
It’s better to kill wrongly than to let go wrongly, don’t you understand this logic?
Many people saw you and Hua Jiyang shaking hands.
If not you, who else should they target?” Gu An retorted.
“Sharp-tongued, now that you no longer have Hua Jiyang, I want to see if you, this half-dead old thing, can still talk tough.
Today, I am going to teach you a lesson on behalf of the Inner Sect Senior Brothers,” Yuan Mujin angrily declared, stepping forward:
“A man in his forties, with such cultivation, you dare argue with me.
Initially, because of Hua Jiyang, I spared you once, I didn’t expect you to be so clueless.”
“So are you saying senior brother still has relations with Hua Jiyang?” Gu An asked, standing his ground.
Hearing this, Yuan Mujin angrily said, “When you kneel down and beg for mercy, I hope you can still be so tough.”
His fist was quick, employing the Mountain Opening Fist.
Conquer Kaisan Fist.
The punch roared, nearly able to suppress all peers.
This was why he had the confidence to come over.
A half-dead man would definitely not be his opponent.
Gu An watched the incoming punch, then threw one of his own.
Bang!
Fists collided.
Crack!
Yuan Mujin, thinking his punch was unrivaled, expected the crack was the sound of the opponent’s bones breaking.
However…
He saw his own forearm, twisted.
Then an unbearable severe pain coursed through his arm.
But before he could even scream out, Gu An was already in front of him, kicking out.
Bang!
Yuan Mujin flew backwards.
Crashing heavily against the Green Sun Wood.
The severe pain caused him to collapse on the ground, unable to move.
But quickly those feet appeared in front of him.
Another punch, and he would lose several months’ worth of resources.
A moment’s delay means a step behind in everything hereafter; only others would bully him.
The more he gained, the more he feared losing it.
He subconsciously pleaded: “Senior…
Senior brother, please show mercy.”
