Chapter 667: Chapter 319: Dao Sect Supreme Treasure (Part 3)
Gongshan Xiu asked a question.
"Sister... you, what do you mean?" Gong Shanyu sensed something.
"This person, Gu Fan, knows when to advance and retreat and appreciates kindness. In the future, he definitely won’t be limited to this. I think now that he hasn’t yet reached notoriety, there is an opportunity. If you agree, I can act as a matchmaker..."
Gong Shanyu widened her eyes: "I don’t want to!"
She urgently said, "Sister, he’s just a lowly being of the Spirit Realm! Even if he has some abilities and becomes an Honored Guest Elder, he is still just a dog raised by our Gong Clan. If I marry him, I’ll be the joke of the whole clan. How can I face anyone after that?"
"I don’t want it!"
She bit her lower lip tightly.
Gongshan Xiu sighed softly.
In fact, she wanted to use Gong Shanyu to bring Li An back under control!
Once the two became Dao companions, Li An would become a true member of the Gong Clan. By then, he could naturally participate in the competition between her and Gong Shanye, becoming a major aid once again.
Moreover, she could completely tie Li An down.
Unexpectedly, Gong Shanyu had such aversion to Li An... In matters like this, forcing things would not lead to a good outcome. If forcibly paired, it might backfire.
"Sister, this person does not understand romance, and his background is lowly. There’s no need to bother with him... I heard that several genius disciples from Purple Cloud Mountain will be coming here soon. Sister, can I go and greet them then?"
Gong Shanyu coquettishly told her sister. Gongshan Xiu sighed slightly without saying anything further.
As for Gu Fan’s side, there’s no choice but to temporarily leave it be.
However, the people from Purple Cloud Mountain coming... we must pay attention. If we can get along well with them, a word from them could indeed influence or even change the decisions of the high-ranking members of the Gong Clan.
Gong Clan, to put it bluntly, is merely a vassal of Purple Cloud Mountain.
...
After becoming an Honored Guest Elder, Li An was responsible for the Spirit Fields at Huichun Peak and Celestial Thunder Peak, turning these two places into second-level Spirit Fields; this was the task given to him by the Gong Clan.
Soon after, he heard some news from within the Gong Clan.
The former Sect Leader of the Dao Sect, now a disciple of Purple Cloud Mountain—Su Yebai, returned to the Dao Sect.
This time, he returned under the order of Purple Cloud Mountain to investigate the whereabouts of a group who fled the Spirit Realm back in the day.
It is said that Su Yebai provided much information, and Purple Cloud Mountain indeed tracked down some of the Dao Sect members and annihilated them.
This made Li An frown deeply.
Su Yebai, who was the Dao Sect Leader back then, knew a lot about the escape of Xiang Yuntian and others. With his cooperation with Purple Cloud Mountain, they might really find something out.
If this continues, Xiang Yuntian and the others will be in great danger.
However, Li An wouldn’t concern himself much with this.
Killing Su Yebai? That’s too risky.
This person has already joined Purple Cloud Mountain, not someone ordinary people can compare with; a careless move might expose himself.
Ensuring his own safety is the most important thing; as for the safety of that group of fugitives from the Dao Sect... they can only pray for their own safety.
However, after thinking about it over and over, regarding the matter a hundred years later, he gradually made a decision...
...
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, Li An had been with the Gong Clan for nearly two hundred years.
Under his diligent efforts, Huichun Peak and Celestial Thunder Peak had been turned into second-level Spirit Fields, and a small amount of Profound Immortal Pill was formally planted, which greatly satisfied the senior members of the Gong Clan, and they gave him a generous reward.
Li An’s mysterious cultivation had also reached the perfection of Crossing the Tribulation, just one step away from becoming an immortal!
"So he truly is a member of the Dao Sect..."
Looking at the latest batch of corpses, Li An couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.
After Su Yebai came to the Dao Sect, with some unknown means, he tracked more and more Dao Sect disciples and started the pursuit; over the years, from time to time, batches of Dao Sect disciple corpses would be delivered.
Sometimes dozens, sometimes just a few...
Back then, the Dao Sect only sent out about a thousand or two top figures.
Among these corpses, there were quite a few... whom he recognized.
If this continues, it might not be long before he sees the corpses of Xiang Yuntian, Gu Canye, and others?
"The founding relic of the Dao Sect should manifest soon..."
Li An pondered, and on this day, he finally headed toward the old site of Celestial Dao Peak!
On the old site of Celestial Dao Peak, a palace had already been built, where Su Yebai and several others from Yuan Province from Purple Cloud Mountain were stationed.
"Gong Clan Honored Guest Elder Gu Fan, requesting to see the lords from Purple Cloud Mountain, I have important news to report!"
He spoke respectfully outside the hall.
Soon, a disciple in blue robes came out, glanced at him, and led him into the hall.
Inside the hall, Yuan Province was seated at the top, and Su Yebai was accompanying him. Li An glanced around; Su Yebai, dressed in a light black daoist robe, seemed to have regained his former elegance and grandeur, but in front of Yuan Province, he was quite restrained and respectful!
"Gu Fan?"
Yuan Province calmly set down the teacup in his hand: "What important news do you have?"
With a look of trepidation on his face, Li An said, "Reporting to the lord, over the years, I have been cultivating Spirit Medicine in the Dao Sect. Recently, when taking spiritual soil from Celestial Righteous Peak, I suddenly discovered something strange there, as if an ancient mysterious space is about to appear. I wonder if it’s a secret realm left by the Dao Sect?"
"I dare not hide it, so I’ve come to report specially!"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Province’s brow suddenly arched as he looked at Su Yebai: "Junior Brother Su, is there any secret realm on Celestial Righteous Peak?"
Su Yebai hurriedly got up, "Reporting to Senior Brother, there has never been any secret realm on Celestial Righteous Peak..."
Yuan Province pondered for a moment, then said: "Let’s go and have a look."
Immediately, everyone followed Li An, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived at Celestial Righteous Peak. Li An pointed out several traces, which Yuan Province checked one by one, indeed finding traces of an unusual space, and a hint of joy appeared in his eyes!
