#266 - You wronged me
#266 - You wronged me
Late March.
The great battle outside the sect continued.
However, the scope had already moved far away from the sect, and it wasn't as intense.
Even the sect began sending out Golden Core disciples to deal with it.
In other words, the great battle had been downgraded.
Or perhaps, they discovered that the other side had Golden Cores, so the sect also began sending out Golden Cores.
Fortunately, they weren't sent to Peak Beyond Peak.
Mountain-top disciples were given priority.
Mountain-bottom disciples weren't valued, and they didn't even get a chance to train.
Only when there weren't enough mountain-top Golden Cores would it be the mountain-bottom's turn.
Of course, if the mountain-bottom people insisted on going, they probably could.
It's just that they weren't commissioned, so the rewards wouldn't be much.
Sect commissions would get them a lot of resources.
Going on their own would probably only get them about half.
After all, they were originally supposed to be logging, especially since the mountain-top Golden Cores had all been dispatched, so there were even fewer loggers.
The heavy burden fell on the mountain-bottom.
If everyone went to defend against the enemy, what would happen to logistics?
Going out wouldn't accomplish much and would also affect development.
So even in the end, only a very small portion of the mountain-bottom Golden Cores were dispatched.
Gu An, on the other hand, received two more groups of people, and he proactively chose the Golden Cores.
Knowing Dugux Jing had some benefits.
At least it could reduce the risks on his side.
Sure enough, none of the ten people in these two batches were easy to deal with.
Gu An's requirements for them were very simple: offer all their cultivation methods and techniques, plus cultivation insights.
Whoever wrote it out first could leave first, and duplicates would be discarded.
This way, he could release a batch first and relieve the pressure on One Branch.
He didn't know what the other branches were like, but if One Branch encountered those who had other methods, it would be quite troublesome.
Discovering them in advance was fine, but once they couldn't be discovered in advance, it would be a fatal blow to One Branch.
Also, why hadn't Dongfang Lingyun appeared yet?
It's worth mentioning that Yu Tu had come out of seclusion.
He successfully advanced to Foundation Establishment, but after learning that he had become a Demonic Sect disciple, he was stunned.
He seemed to have some difficulty accepting it.
Fortunately, Shu Ci gave him a lesson as soon as possible.
She told him that he used to be embarrassed to take action against Qingmei's family, but now he could.
The sect supported it with both hands.
Also, Qingmei being so bad could also be understood.
Because this was the Demonic Sect.
Yu Tu suddenly understood.
He never understood before why his good friend, who had grown up with him, had suddenly become like this.
Why could people be so bad?
Now everything made sense.
It turned out that he had joined the Demonic Sect, and Jinxi had also joined the Demonic Sect.
It's just that Jinxi had changed, and he hadn't.
In the future, he would also have a clear stance when facing her.
He was ashamed to be associated with demonic cultivators.
Shu Ci felt that something was wrong with Yu Tu's words.
But she didn't care too much.
She just asked why he had been in seclusion for so long.
Yu Tu couldn't answer either, he just said that he had been constantly circulating his cultivation, as if his body always needed him to circulate it like that.
When it was over, he came out of seclusion.
Gu An wasn't surprised when he got the news.
Yu Tu was not simple.
He had extraordinary talent.
He was afraid that his body needed so much power to fill it.
Because he didn't have many resources, he naturally needed to constantly circulate and absorb spiritual energy.
Only in this way could he consolidate his cultivation.
The task Gu An gave was for Yu Tu to escort, and after the escort, he would go logging.
Others might be affected by logging all the time, but Yu Tu definitely wouldn't.
He needed to log.
Of course, others who should go logging still had to go logging.
This was tempering for themselves.
And also to complete the backyard logging task.
If they didn't complete it, they wouldn't get so many spirit stones.
"Team leader." Pang Wenyu and Shu Ci came over.
Gu An glanced at them and found that Shu Ci had advanced to the late stage of Golden Core.
But on the surface, she was still in the early stage of Golden Core.
And Pang Wen was almost there too.
They were originally stuck here, but now that they had a Nascent Soul teaching them hand-in-hand, they would naturally be much faster.
"This is last month's report, and the techniques and insights we got this month." Pang Wen handed over a dozen books.
The topmost book was different from the others, and it was to be submitted to Middle Branch and then reported to the Law Enforcement Hall.
Many things in the Six Branches didn't need to be reported, but monthly reports were required.
Gu An wasn't in a hurry to look at the techniques.
They were all relatively ordinary, and there was nothing worth learning.
Even if there were saber techniques, he didn't care.
He had a perfect Nascent Soul cultivation, and once his Qi Sea Heavenly罡 was completed, he would enter a higher realm.
These things weren't very useful.
They weren't strong, and they didn't have good enough opportunities.
For him, everything was dispensable.
The only useful thing was to help improve the Second Team and the people of One Branch.
In addition, some knowledge might also be useful, but conventional knowledge was definitely not as good as the sect's records.
What needed to be focused on was the report.
When he opened it, it stated how many people had come in total.
And then how many people had left.
There were a total of four who had left, Miao Kaihua who had died, Duan Yulin who looked like a woman, Zheng Gu who looked bald, and the later beautiful fairy Qiong Ling'er.
Thus, there were fourteen left.
And the rewards they left behind were all their cultivation methods and insights, plus some techniques.
After accepting the things, Gu An told them to continue to focus on improving their cultivation.
After submitting the report, Gu An inquired about the allocated forest.
He learned that he had to wait until mid-month.
Gu An didn't care about this either, he could wait a while longer and then go cut down the trees that were progressing faster.
The trees he had been cutting down recently were progressing too slowly.
The improvement of techniques was too slow.
It might not even be possible to complete the Qi Sea Heavenly罡 in three years.
After that, Gu An went back to logging.
It was a good thing that no one from Peak Beyond Peak had been looking for trouble recently.
He just didn't know if anyone from the Inner Sect would come.
After all, people from their master's lineage participated in each branch, except for him.
After this report, once it spread that each branch had rich harvests, then his place would probably not be too quiet.
He could still deal with Golden Cores, but what if it was a Nascent Soul?
He wouldn't be able to deal with it well.
Secretly taking action was no longer safe, unless they left the sect.
What if they didn't leave?
Taking action would reveal his hidden cultivation.
It was quite troublesome.
If it really was like this, he could only look for his master.
Presumably, his master would give some advice, after all, the vortex involved the disciples of each peak lord.
Behind the scenes must be the peak lords.
Since this was the case, there should be a victory or defeat.
That evening.
In the main hall of the main peak.
Qu Youdao sighed:
"They are quite fragile, how long has it been, and they have already retreated like this.
As expected, they don't cooperate at all."
"If it weren't for the sect leader's request not to go too far and to value harmony, would we need to fight with them for so long?" Situ Baichuan shook his head and said:
"A bunch of nobodies, if it weren't for the sect leader, how could they be so arrogant?
We would have crushed them long ago.
Now it's good, we have to consider their feelings, value harmony, and develop peacefully.
What exactly is wrong with the sect leader?"
"Wouldn't it be good to question him at the back mountain? The sect leader is not such an unreasonable person," Yan Ruxue said.
Situ Baichuan shut up.
"They are already very uncomfortable, if they knew that you were still deliberately holding back, how desperate would they be?" A fairy sitting below said compassionately.
"Let's not talk about these things anymore, let the Golden Cores and Nascent Souls go and make trouble.
The current battlefield doesn't need us, just treat it as their training, it won't last more than a few months, but we should try to capture people as much as possible.
So that the six people can determine the victory or defeat," Qu Youdao said.
"What if there are no more prisoners?" Situ Baichuan asked.
“That's simple. We are the Demonic Sect. Although our sect maintains peace with other sects, values harmony, and never provokes trouble,
we are still the Demonic Sect. A little stirring, and surely someone will attack us, right?” Qu Youdao said with a smile:
“Wouldn't that mean more prisoners?”
“They were no match to begin with, and now they're being schemed against. It's really too much for them,” the compassionate fairy also lamented.
“This is to earn prestige for their Immortal Sects. Being able to say they've attacked us is a prestigious reputation for them.
They're not at a loss. When recruiting disciples or anything else, they'll have sufficient advantages,” Yan Ruxue said with a chuckle.
After a pause, she asked, “Their reports should have been submitted, right? Have you read them?”
“I have,” Situ Baichuan said with emotion, “The ones submitted to me are all garbage. Some cultivation methods and techniques—what use are these things to the sect? After assessment, they're worthless.
The sect doesn't have them, right?
We basically have the cultivation methods of other sects here, just not complete.
What he gave is even more incomplete.
Those people really don't have to pay anything to leave safely.
They lack foresight.
They clearly had a huge advantage, and now they're going to be at the bottom of the list.”
‘He looks like the cleanest of all, but who would have thought that a bloodthirsty disciple, known for killing throughout the outer and inner sects, would be so trustworthy and simple.
He actually let people go,’” Yan Ruxue said with a smile, “We are the Demonic Sect now.
Hao Sui should learn from Spirit Control Peak and directly refine some uncooperative people into puppets and send them to the battlefield.
Others should be sent to logging, then exploit their value and force them to hand over various hidden secret techniques.
And look at Thousand Dust Peak, it's just as good, actually getting him to call two fellow disciples. As long as two disciples whose cultivation isn't weaker than his come, they can let him go.
It's truly killing many birds with one stone.
So many talents.
And look at the Scripture Pavilion, using contracts to bind some people, making them go back as spies, and requiring them to hand over a certain amount of spirit stones every month.
The contract lasts for a hundred years.
Constantly squeezing them.
Harvesting a lot.”
Qu Youdao said with a smile, “Did any of these people realize this is a competition?”
“Some of them probably did. There are always some who are smarter, but no one knows what's behind the competition.
Also, no one probably knows how to win,” Situ Baichuan said.
“Did your disciple also see it?” the compassionate fairy asked, “Others are doing it for merit or for profit, but your disciple isn't doing it for anything. Letting people go is very easy, without any desire.
He probably saw the competition, but he doesn't want to win.
It's really pitiful. He clearly doesn't want to be involved, but he's forced to be involved.”
“Now that you mention it, it does seem that way. He looks quite ordinary, easily overlooked,” Situ Baichuan said with some doubt, “Did his nature change? No more indiscriminate killing?”
‘Judging by the current situation, he doesn't seem to have much chance of winning,’” Qu Youdao said with a smile, “However, many fellow disciples are helping those people, but it seems like no one is helping him.”
“He doesn't mention it, and I can't even send people,” Situ Baichuan sighed, “It seems I've become the one with the least hope again.
What a big difference.
Before, he was the best, but now he's become the worst.
He really doesn't seem to have any ambition.
He didn't put much effort into this matter either.
He just asked for some random things and then let people go.
You might as well just ask for spirit stones directly.
“I heard that the royal family and other sects are looking for some ancestral land recently. Are you interested?” Qu Youdao asked.
“Not interested,” Situ Baichuan said, “Even if you're interested, can you go at will? Does the sect leader agree?”
Qu Youdao paused and shook his head, “Forget it, never mind. It's a big mess now, and the sect leader has a big opinion. I'd better not get involved in other things.
Let's quietly watch these six people and see who can get into the top three.
For now, let's measure them by value first.”
Gu An didn't know that he looked for the Blood Demon Divine Lord again that night.
Two of those things had problems.
The others were fine.
Besides, there was no other news. No more news came from the Eight Tone Divine Lord.
Gu An didn't know how long he would have to wait.
Does it take so long to investigate a person?
The next day.
Gu An gave the books to Pang Wen, singled out the two that had problems, and asked him to go to the prison and return them to the writers.
Cut off three meals a day for seven days.
Gu An didn't have to personally deal with this kind of prisoner.
Although Pang Wen didn't know how the team leader determined it, he still took the books back.
Just as he arrived at the First Courtyard, he saw Shu Ci tidying up the books.
These were all treasures of the First Courtyard. These things were of great help to them.
Especially after receiving guidance, they could gain more insights from reading these things.
“Senior Brother Pang,” Shu Ci said while tidying up, “What did the team leader say?”
“Two of them are fake, the others are fine,” Pang Wen said, handing over the good ones. “I have to tell Junior Brother Yang and the others to cut off the other party's three meals a day for seven days.”
“Fake?” Shu Ci put away the good ones, then flipped through the fake ones, but couldn't see anything wrong:
“How exactly did the team leader discover it?”
“I don't know,” Pang Wen shook his head.
“Do you think it's possible that they're real, but the team leader needs to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, so that other people won't dare to write fake ones?” Shu Ci asked.
Pang Wen was stunned. If it was true, then the team leader was really cunning.
Then he personally went down to hand the books to the other party, warned him, and then canceled his three meals a day.
The young man who received his two cultivation methods and techniques was a little incredulous, “Impossible,
how could they be fake? What I wrote is real,
These are the cultivation methods and techniques I have always practiced. I wrote them very clearly.
There's absolutely no mistake, and I didn't remember it wrong either.”
As he spoke, he immediately flipped through them to check. Soon, he said, “That's right, I'm not wrong, why are you slandering me?
Since you want to kill me, why are you deceiving me?
I refuse to accept this.”
For a moment, the others were curious, was he really being slandered?
Pang Wen also felt that his senior brother was doing it on purpose.
“Can I take a look?” Zhao Qingshan asked.
However, Pang Wen didn't agree.
What if Senior Brother was really playing tricks?
That night.
Gu An received feedback from the Ring of Destiny.
Which surprised him a bit.
(Yesterday at noon, Chen Changfeng, who was in Yin Prison, kept defending himself after learning that you said his cultivation methods and techniques were fake. He carefully checked them again and again, but didn't find anything he wrote wrong. These were what he had been practicing, so why did you slander him?
He cursed your name in the prison, saying you were despicable and shameless, acting like a demonic cultivator, and wanted to show that he was upright and honest.
He cursed you as a hypocrite, and dared you to point out where he was wrong.
He is wronged!!! )
It was the first time he had heard someone say that he had wronged them.
In the past, others wanted to wrong him.
But each time, he found the culprit.
This time, the other party really seemed to think that he had wronged him.
