If I become a saint, a celestial official will summon me to raise horses.

Chapter 369 Eliminating the Backer
"I'm now at the Void Transcending Realm, they can't detect me!"

Haolong said proudly, even though it was over three hundred years old, its voice still had a childlike quality, like that of a young boy.

Gu An did not refute, nor did he mention that someone was infiltrating the Eight Scenery Cave Heaven. He looked Hao Long up and down and said, "Are you getting used to staying in the Ancient Hao Sect? If you want to come back, I can talk to the Tai Xuan Sect."

With the current power of the Tai Xuan Sect, obtaining the sacred beast of the Gu Hao Sect would be no difficult task.

Haolong replied, "That's fine. I won't come back. Tai Xuan Sect is much stronger than Gu Hao Sect. If I come back, my status will definitely not be as good as before."

Gu An smiled to himself, thinking to himself, "What a silly dragon. Well then, you can stay in the Ancient Hao Sect."

He wouldn't deliberately reveal his strength to Haolong; this was also his attitude towards his disciples. Only those who were sincere and determined to stay by his side would receive his special attention and cultivation.

Just then, footsteps came from the cave entrance in the distance, startling Gu An and Haolong, who turned to look.

A figure emerged from the cave entrance. It was a handsome man in black, holding a folding fan, with a palm-sized black spider perched on his shoulder.

He looked at Gu An and Hao Long from afar with a mocking smile on his face. His gaze then fell on the Cang Teng tree, and his eyes revealed a greedy look.

Although Gu An could see through his cultivation level, he still couldn't help but send a lifespan probe to him.

【Chasing Demons (Second Level of Profound Heart Realm): 2107/4600/7500】

An ancient monster that has lived for two thousand years!

Gu An was looking forward to his next move, but pretended to be wary on the surface.

"It's you... How could you..." Haolong's eyes widened, his expression one of astonishment.

By peering into cause and effect and destiny, Gu An saw the intersection between Haolong and Zhui Mo. Zhui Mo hid his identity and joined the Ancient Hao Sect. He had visited Haolong. At that time, Zhui Mo disguised himself as a Nascent Soul cultivator and treated Haolong with utmost respect.

The Demon Chaser sneered, "If I hadn't helped you, do you think you could have gotten here?"

He stepped forward, unleashing the aura of the Profound Heart Realm, which startled Haolong into revealing his true form and standing in front of Gu An.

“You are no match for me, and once we make a move, this place will be exposed.”

Zhui Mo sneered, his gaze fixed on the Cang Teng tree, his eyes growing ever brighter.

"Who exactly are you? How can you have such cultivation?" Haolong asked through gritted teeth. The Void Transcending Realm and the Profound Heart Realm are separated by the Integration Realm. Facing the Demon Chaser, Haolong was under immense pressure.

Gu An then began to investigate the cause and effect of the pursuit of the demon.

The background of the Demon Chaser is quite profound. He has a Mahayana Realm master who is seriously injured and hiding in a mountain cave. His master comes from a demonic sect at sea, and the highest cultivation level in the sect has reached the Loose Immortal Realm. He happens to be the Demon Chaser's grandmaster.

His grandmaster in the Scattered Immortal Realm was a traitor to an ancient family. Although he was a traitor, his elder brother was still alive, and the two had a close relationship. Whenever his grandmaster encountered trouble that he couldn't handle, he would turn to his elder brother.

The strongest member of this ancient family has reached the Heaven and Earth Immortal Realm. It is worth mentioning that the family's fortune is related to another great world that Gu An glimpsed when he broke through.

In other words, the origin of this aristocratic family comes from other great realms.

Gu An wasn't worried at all. That vast world wasn't much stronger than the Heavenly Spirit World, and they were far apart.

He simply lamented the complex causes and effects of the pursuit of demons.

If you oppose the Demon Chaser, you can easily fall into a series of karmic entanglements and hatred.

After beating the small ones, beat the big ones, and after beating the big ones, beat the old ones.

It didn't take long.

The Demon Chaser approached Haolong and said, "Kneel down and submit to me. This is your only way to survive."

His tone was extremely domineering and brooked no argument.

Gu An took a few steps to the side, letting the Demon Chaser see him. He toyed with the Fate-Determining Brush in his right hand and asked with a half-smile, "And what about me? Is there any way out?"

Zhui Mo looked at Gu An, whose smile displeased him; he felt provoked.

The Demon Chaser is hostile towards you and intends to kill you. Do you wish to use the Lifespan Probe on it?

Looking at the prompt before him, Gu An couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle. His actions made Zhui Mo's eyes flash with cold light, and Zhui Mo said in a chilling tone, "You? Of course you have to die. It's perfect to feed you to the Azure Vine Tree."

Gu An asked, "How do you know that the Cang Teng Tree also eats flesh and blood? What is your relationship with Qianqiu Pavilion?"

He knew the truth, of course, but he just wanted to ask one more question since he was free anyway.

Suddenly, the Demon Chaser vanished into a wisp of demonic energy, startling Haolong. Haolong instinctively turned his head to look, and then he saw the Demon Chaser appear beside Gu An.

The Demon Chaser stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief. His right palm was blocked by the Fate-Determining Brush, and his arm trembled.

He was unable to attack Gu An, nor could he retreat; he was frozen in place by an invisible force.

"You... how could this be... who exactly are you?" Zhui Mo asked in a trembling voice, his face filled with fear.

Gu An glanced at him disdainfully and asked, "I can't give you a way out. Do you have any last words?"

These words sent a chill down the spine of the demon-chasing one.

"If you... if you dare to kill me, my master will not let you off!" Zhui Mo said through gritted teeth.

Gu An asked curiously, "Your master is only at the Mahayana Realm, and he's seriously injured. Why won't he let me go?"

Upon hearing this, Zhui Mo's pupils trembled violently, and fear and despair enveloped his heart.

He seemed to remember something and quickly said, "My master comes from a Taoist sect... let me go, and this matter will end here."

[The Demon Chaser harbors hostility towards you and hates you to the core. Do you wish to use Lifespan Probe on it?]

The hostility has even increased!

Gu An looked at the prompt in front of him without reacting; he had never intended to let the Demon Chaser go.

Now look what's happened, let's just let a few more lives die!

Gu An withdrew his hand, and a terrifying force pressed down, causing the Demon Chaser to kneel down in front of him with a thud.

Haolong stared at Gu An with his mouth agape.

Memories from long ago surfaced in his mind.

Gu Anzheng gripped the life-giving brush and swung it through the air. With a single stroke, a golden mark appeared before him, hovering in the air.

The golden light shone on the face of the demon-chasing monster, making his face appear bloodless.

Gu An calmly and slowly wielded his brush and wrote the character for "death".

As the last stroke fell, Zhui Mo felt a sudden pang of fear and looked at Gu An, gritting his teeth as he asked, "What did you do to me?"

You have successfully seized 67 years of the lifespan of True Person Lingchuan (Ninth Level of Mahayana Realm).

You have successfully seized 380 years of Zhang Lu's (fourth level of the Immortal Realm) lifespan.

You have successfully seized 512 years of Xu Tianxing's (seventh level of the Loose Immortal Realm) lifespan.

……

A series of prompts popped up in front of Gu An. He glanced at Zhui Mo and said indifferently, "I didn't do anything to you. I just eliminated all the backers you could find."

The Demon Chaser's eyes widened, and he roared almost maniacally, "What are you talking about...?"

Before he could finish speaking, an indescribable sense of panic gripped the Demon Chaser's heart.

For some reason, he suddenly felt abandoned by the whole world, an unprecedented panic, and an indescribable palpitation stimulated his thoughts.
