#260 - This is the Demon Gate
#260 - This is the Demon Gate
People have been arranged.
Gu An arrived in the courtyard, Pang Wen and the others stood on the side quietly waiting.
They discovered that the First Institute seemed somewhat different from what they had imagined.
It really could imprison people.
What would happen next was completely unpredictable.
The people here were in some danger, and at the same time, there must be contact with other sects.
Their task was to negotiate with other sects, although it was similar.
But the positions were completely different now.
The Second Team often suffered unfair treatment on external missions.
It was different here.
It was necessary to negotiate the price of redeeming people.
Of course, this was very dangerous.
A little carelessness could lead to being targeted and then retaliated against.
Gu An naturally thought of this as well.
Then he said:
"The First Institute needs people. Currently, the Middle Institute needs one person to be stationed there. Once that side is improved, it shouldn't be necessary.
Who among you would like to temporarily stay behind to help?"
"I can go," Ruan Huan said.
"For the time being, it's still someone from the Second Team," Gu An said, looking at her:
"It's unknown how long the Sixth Institute will exist. Leaving the Second Team rashly would outweigh the gains."
"I know," Ruan Huan nodded, "I don't go on many missions to begin with. Most of the time, I'm helping Senior Brothers and Sisters organize materials, so I can manage both places."
"Okay, then for now, focus on accepting prisoners," Gu An looked at Pang Wen and the others.
The latter immediately said, "We're all free. When we don't have missions, we can definitely come to help."
He knew what conditions Gu An was giving those people.
It wouldn't be right for him not to come and help.
Shu Ci and Shang Huo also nodded.
Gu An pondered for a moment, then said, "Then follow the original arrangements of the Second Team. Pang Wen will continue to preside over the overall situation,
Junior Sister Shu will assist.
You will listen to orders.
Also, when Yu Tu comes out of seclusion, ask him if he wants to work at the First Institute.
The underground prison needs people to watch over it.
I'll go find two more people in the next two days.
Fill the three positions in the First Institute.
If more people are needed, let me know."
In fact, three were only barely enough, but with more prisoners, there wouldn't be enough manpower.
The few people nodded, then Gu An looked at Pang Wen: "Follow that Nascent Soul cultivator. Before you reach the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, try to get him to work.
Making talismans or transcribing cultivation methods and secrets."
"Yes," Pang Wen nodded excitedly.
After that, Gu An looked at Ruan Huan and also told her to go down and learn.
As for the remaining two people, Gu An simply said, "You don't need to rush either. It's not time yet."
Shu Ci naturally didn't dare to have any objections.
Only Pang Wen suddenly spoke, "Just releasing him when I advance, is that easy to explain, Senior Brother?"
Gu An chuckled, "Just record who leaves, and then record what they obtained, nothing can be missing."
Pang Wen nodded seriously.
Gu An looked at the four of them and said, "Other things aren't that important. Your cultivation needs to be improved as soon as possible. Take advantage of the fact that there aren't any missions right now to improve your cultivation."
If he could, he would personally explain it.
But he himself only had a superficial understanding of cultivation. Although he had spent a long time cultivating, he still didn't understand enough about cultivation.
The main thing was that there wasn't enough time.
There wasn't enough time to properly comprehend it.
But with the Qi and Breath Chapter and the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Chapter, he could analyze other people's cultivation very well.
The only drawback was that his own cultivation wasn't high enough.
He couldn't see through enough.
When his cultivation was higher and he could see through it, he could guide them correctly.
As for now, he didn't understand enough himself, and he didn't have the experience to teach others.
So he wouldn't make a fool of himself.
After arranging them, Gu An left the First Institute.
He needed to find two people.
Logically speaking, he needed to find two suitable people.
But he didn't have a competitive heart.
Whirlpool competition was definitely for something.
Winning wasn't necessarily a good thing.
So, there was no need to find capable people.
Then he would find a few acquaintances, after all, it was a position given by the Main Institute.
Each month, there were fifty spirit stones.
The duties outside the peak were indeed high-paying.
It was just dangerous and easy to be humiliated.
Let's go ask.
At night, Gu An came to the foot of Thousand Dust Peak.
He knocked on the tightly closed door.
There was no sound, as if no one was home.
"It's me," Gu An said.
Then the door opened.
Yang Qi looked at Gu An with emotion and said, "Senior Brother, why have you come to my place?
There shouldn't be such danger within the sect."
Gu An looked at Yang Qi, who appeared to be in his thirties, with curiosity.
The other party was in the late stage of Foundation Establishment realm.
His advancement was quite fast.
"Isn't it because my fellow villager said that we should go out less now, as there might be danger at any time," Yang Qi immediately let Gu An in.
Then he closed the door.
As soon as he entered, Yang Qi said, "Senior Brother, are you looking for me this time because you have a mission?"
Gu An was quite embarrassed. He did come to ask the other party for help every time.
Because the other party knew more than him, and also wasn't a big target.
It was easier to handle things.
"What are your plans recently, Junior Brother?" Gu An looked at the person in front of him and said, "Do you still want to keep logging?"
Because he liked logging, he wasn't sure if the person in front of him liked logging or something else.
But he still needed to ask.
Hearing this, Yang Qi looked at Gu An with some surprise, "Senior Brother means, you have a place to recommend to me?"
Gu An didn't hide it and nodded, "A position outside the peak, fifty spirit stones per month.
It's a sect position, so you don't need to complete sect missions anymore.
But there is some danger.
Outside the peak is much more dangerous than the inner sect."
"Who is the superior of this position?" Yang Qi asked.
"Me," Gu An said.
"So, it means I'm helping Senior Brother do things?" Yang Qi smiled, "That's fine, I have to rely on Senior Brother's actions for logging at night, now that I'm directly following Senior Brother, wouldn't I be taking a few decades less of detours?
When can I report for duty?"
"You can tomorrow, but we still need one person," Gu An said.
Gu An didn't go to find this person himself.
But asked Yang Qi to find him.
Tomorrow, they would be seen heading to the peak outside.
Soon, Gu An left.
He returned to the peak outside and took out the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Chapter to read.
The more he read, the more peaceful his heart became, and he could better perceive his own condition.
Of course, if he could, he wanted to go logging.
Since returning from Spirit Flower Valley, he hadn't logged much.
It seemed that there were many things waiting for him to be busy with.
He had also entered the Law Enforcement Hall several times.
With many twists and turns.
It had just passed midnight.
Gu An suddenly sensed the Ring of Fate.
This made him somewhat surprised.
Could it be that someone wanted to take advantage of this chaos to target him?
Not daring to hesitate, he checked the Ring of Fate at the first moment.
[Yesterday afternoon, Miao Kaihua was locked into the prison of the First Institute. As soon as he entered, he discovered that the people of the First Institute were very weak and posed no threat at all.
The strongest person was only in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. He discussed it with the other two.
He felt that he could completely use the other party's desire to improve their cultivation to lower the guard of the guards.
Then take the opportunity to escape from here.
He told the other two that he had a bloodline magic treasure hidden in his body. As long as he got close and didn't set up too many defenses, he could enslave the other party.
Then he could let them lead everyone out, but he needed someone to cooperate.
He needed three people to gather their strength together. Even if their cultivation was sealed, they could still use some power.
He needed this trace of power. At most three days, the magic treasure could be used.
Just lower the vigilance of that early-stage Golden Core cultivator within three days.]
Once they get out, the three of them will think of other ways to break the seal.
When the time comes, they will kill their way back and turn the people here into their puppets, thus having a stronghold.
After their discussion, they began to accumulate power for the magic weapon.
Looking at these contents, Gu An sighed.
These people really haven't given up.
However, people with high cultivation levels, especially those with some fortuitous encounters or backgrounds, are indeed dangerous to imprison.
It's hard to guard against.
I just don't know if the other five academies have such thorns.
Gu An wasn't in a hurry, but looked at the moonlight and continued reading.
A little while later.
He sighed and said, "I am indeed too impetuous."
He originally wanted to calm his mind and concentrate.
But who knows if these people will suddenly change their minds.
He had suffered losses in this regard before.
So, now that he's discovered it, he should deal with it as soon as possible.
Prevent variables.
Waiting peacefully, he felt that it wasn't peace of mind, but arrogance.
Thinking he had seen through these people's intentions, but in reality, it was just outdated information.
It's easy for problems to arise.
Facing the moonlight, Gu An came to the First Academy.
"Team leader," Shang Huo said.
"There's no need to guard here," Gu An said.
"I'm idle anyway, I can read the cultivation methods and then understand them, and if I don't understand, I can go down and ask," Shang Huo explained.
Hearing this, Gu An nodded.
He didn't say anything more.
This place is actually very safe.
It's quite good to be here, the outside is still fighting, I don't know when it will end.
Soon, Gu An arrived at the underground prison.
The three people were locked up in the public area.
Although they were strong, they hadn't reached the point of being held in solitary confinement.
Seeing Gu An come over.
The three of them didn't have much of an expression.
But there was no ignoring or disdain either.
Gu An saw Miao Kaihua and walked over.
At this time, he naturally noticed the subtle spiritual energy, normally he wouldn't think too much about it.
But with the Ring of Destiny, it's different.
Sure enough, his observation was still not enough.
He needs to be more careful in the future.
He also didn't know if they had hidden this magic weapon from the Enforcement Hall, or if the Enforcement Hall had deliberately left it behind to test him.
"Fellow Daoist, is there something you need?" Miao Kaihua asked with some doubt: "Do you want me to write down cultivation method manuals?"
Gu An looked at the person in front of him and said:
"Fellow Daoist Miao, will you write them?"
"Yes, Fellow Daoist has said that this place is the Demonic Sect, so I naturally have to write them. How much do I need to write to get out?" Miao Kaihua began to bargain.
As long as he bargains, he won't be suspected.
If he's too straightforward, he's worried that the person in front of him will overthink.
However, it's normal to take a few days to write a cultivation method.
Of course, it's also possible to finish writing in a day or two.
After all, when he kills his way back, he won't worry about others learning it.
In addition, it's not a big problem if some things are learned.
First, stabilize the other party.
In a few days at most, they will change from defense to offense.
Let the person in front of him be impressive for a few days now.
Gu An sighed in his heart, he actually didn't want to have too much interaction with these people.
In addition, if the other party wants to escape, it's not impossible.
After all, he didn't think about winning this contest.
It's good to stay in the middle.
If the other party escapes alone, and it doesn't affect the people here.
Let them go, then.
But they insist on turning them all into puppets and using this place as a stronghold.
That's naturally not okay.
"Fellow Daoist?" Miao Kaihua said.
Gu An sighed and said: "Fellow Daoist, I'm not a person who likes trouble. Also, as long as you cooperate, I guarantee that you can leave here safely.
At least I really don't have the idea of harming you."
"We naturally believe in Fellow Daoist," Miao Kaihua said helplessly: "Besides, we really don't have a choice, do we?"
"We really don't have more choices, except to cooperate, we can't do anything else," Qiao He followed suit.
Gu An looked at Miao Kaihua, and didn't intend to play dumb, but reached out his hand and said: "Can you hand it over?"
Hearing this, Miao Kaihua was slightly nervous.
But he still maintained his composure: "What is Fellow Daoist talking about?"
"Three breaths," Gu An looked at the person in front of him and said: "Three breaths, if that magic weapon is not handed over,
Then don't blame me for being merciless.
I'm just an ordinary cultivator, I can't leave hidden dangers here, I hope Fellow Daoist can understand."
"Understanding is understanding, but I don't understand what Fellow Daoist means," Miao Kaihua said.
The other two were also slightly nervous.
"Isn't it clear enough?" Gu An was slightly helpless: "One breath has passed."
"Really not," Miao Kaihua shook his head helplessly.
"Two breaths have passed."
"Fellow Daoist, if you don't believe me, you can search me, I definitely didn't lie."
"It's over."
"Fellow Daoist, you're framing me, how can I defend myself? If you want to kill me, then..."
Clang!
A long spear appeared, and then the spear came out like a dragon.
Puff!
The long spear pierced through Miao Kaihua's chest.
Then, with the spear and the person, he was directly nailed to the wall,
Miao Kaihua looked at Gu An in horror, somewhat in disbelief.
Perhaps he didn't understand until his death why the person in front of him acted as soon as he said he would.
Gu An let a red-armored soldier in to clean up the corpse.
And incidentally retrieved the long spear.
This was bought last time, and it feels quite useful.
He just bought one, sure enough, in some situations, it's more useful than a knife.
Just used it and had to destroy the prison.
Retracting the long spear, Gu An looked at the two terrified people beside him and said:
"You still don't understand, this is the Demonic Sect.
It's not to say that I'm unreasonable, but in this place, I am the reason."
Qiao He had a face full of cold sweat, and then nodded and said: "Dao... Dean Gu's words, we will keep them in mind.
Another person, Zhao Qin, also nodded: "Dare not forget."
"Well, the ransom is doubled, and I won't pursue the matter," Gu An said.
In an instant, the pupils of the two people shrank.
Although the other party didn't say it clearly, it was obvious that they had discovered their discussion.
The two didn't dare to say anything else, but respectfully saluted: "Thank you, Dean Gu."
"No need to be so polite, do your job well. When you leave here, if I meet you outside in the future, I will still respectfully call the two Fellow Daoists seniors," Gu An said flatly.
With that, he looked at the dead Miao Kaihua.
He found that a piece of jade pendant was condensing on his body.
It was condensed from the bloodline.
Gu An sighed in his heart, it really is a good thing, it was actually hidden in the bloodline.
The people in the Enforcement Hall probably didn't discover it either.
With that, Gu An took the jade pendant and left.
This jade pendant has a soul-stirring feeling, but it can't be activated.
Perhaps it's related to the bloodline.
I'll send it to the Enforcement Hall tomorrow.
When leaving, Gu An asked Shang Huo to record the matter of Miao Kaihua's death.
The other party was stunned in place, somewhat shocked.
The next day.
Early in the morning, Gu An planned to go to the Enforcement Hall.
But before he could leave the door, a woman walked in.
Holding a plate and eating peanuts.
So early, Gu An just got up and sat down again.
He can't leave for the time being.
