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

Chapter 388 The Last Road

About half a month after Lü Baitian and his companion left, rumors suddenly began to circulate within the Tai Xuan Sect.

A group of crazed disciples spread rumors throughout the inner city that the Sheng family's genius had bullied Wu Jue, only to be killed in the process.

The matter of Wu Jue killing his fellow disciples had already caused a great uproar, and now these disciples are revealing a different story. How can this not cause controversy?
Even though the group of disciples was quickly brought under control, the news still spread very fast.

After some investigation by the busybody disciples, it turned out that the group of disciples who had gone mad were witnesses to Wu Jue's murder of their fellow disciples. However, they had now gone insane and were giving statements that differed from their previous testimonies, which made people think in terms of conspiracy theories.

Some suspect that the person behind the martial arts were behind it, while others suspect that these people couldn't withstand the psychological pressure and pretended to be crazy to tell the truth. Some even believe that they were poisoned by the Sheng family before and had to lie. Now that the poison has taken effect, they have gone mad and used their last bit of sanity to tell the truth.

Amidst various opinions, Wu Jue once again became the focus of attention throughout the Tai Xuan Sect.

This matter caused such a big commotion that even Ye Lan and Zhen Qin from the branch sect came to find Gu An, fearing that he would be involved.

"The Sheng family is really ruthless. They actually poisoned someone. Tsk tsk, even the branch sects are talking about this. Wu Jue is the Tai Xuan Sect's signature genius, but he doesn't have a powerful family background. If this matter isn't handled well, those disciples without powerful family backgrounds will feel disheartened." Zhen Qin exclaimed in amazement.

Ye Lan remained calm and said, "No sect can maintain peace for hundreds of years. There will always be some trouble. The Sword Master Fudao has not appeared for many years. Perhaps this is the aristocratic families testing his attitude."

Gu An held a book in his hands, while his thoughts drifted to the distant ocean.

The deep-sea dragon carp is being chased by a group of monsters and is in grave danger.

This guy has gone through eighty-one tribulations, and he's only one tribulation away from the last one.

Zhen Qin tossed her hair and said nonchalantly, "Let them make a scene, it's about time they made a scene."

Gu An looked at her and asked, "And you, are you still causing trouble for the Ephemeral Flower Demon Mother?"

Upon hearing the name "Ephemeral Flower Demon Mother," Zhen Qin's smile vanished. She snorted coldly and said, "I am no match for her. I cannot trouble Senior Jiang any further. I can only cultivate first."

Because of Su Han's hatred, Zhen Qin's fighting spirit for cultivation has always been very high, which has also made her innate reincarnation function work quite well.

"That's good. Jiang Qiong has had a tough time too. After saving you, she must be feeling very awkward facing her deputy sect leader," Gu An said, going along with her words.

Zhen Qin nodded, and then changed the subject, saying, "I heard from a master that the Immortal Ancestor Yuanxu truly created the cycle of reincarnation, and he is in the heavens. I don't know what the cycle of reincarnation is all about."

When Gu An thought of reincarnation, he thought of Xiao Chuan. Xiao Chuan had been in the vortex of reincarnation for so long, but had not yet been reincarnated. At least within the Heavenly Spirit World, Gu An had not yet investigated his Dao Extinction Seal.

Could it be that they were reincarnated into another world?
Are Divine Sense Immortals really that powerful?
“If reincarnation truly exists, then I would look forward to it. But I fear that reincarnation doesn’t exist at all. If everyone is reincarnated, then where did the original soul originate?” Ye Lan raised a question.

The two women discussed the matter of reincarnation, deliberately avoiding the topic of martial arts techniques.

Gu An occasionally chimed in, which made the time pass quickly.

As evening approached, the two women left.

Gu An left the Third Medicine Valley and went to the Mysterious Valley first, intending to stay for an hour before heading to the Hidden Spirit Palace.

Upon arriving at Xuan Valley, he saw the disciples gathered together, listening to an older disciple talk about the Sheng family. Jiang Shi stood in front of a tree, listening attentively as well.

The Sheng family affair has become such a big deal that disciples of all ranks are talking about it.

The reason those disciples went mad had nothing to do with the Sheng family. It was Gu An who used the power of cause and effect to torment those disciples, making them constantly see the tragedy of that Sheng family genius. Over time, unable to escape the illusion, they broke down.

As for revealing the truth about the martial arts contest, it was Gu An who guided him using the power of cause and effect.

At this moment, the Sheng family was in an uproar, and the higher-ups were in a state of panic, discussing how to handle the matter.

Gu Anchao walked over to his disciples and joined them in gossiping and discussing the matter.

Upon seeing Gu An, Jiang Shi immediately sat down, behaving very cautiously. Decades had passed, yet he still longed to cultivate with Gu An, and even though he had already reached the Core Formation Realm, he had no intention of leaving Xuan Valley.

The more this was the case, the less Gu An wanted to accept it.

He deduced the cause and effect of Jiang Shi's case and found that no powerful cultivator was scheming against him. The more this was the case, the more uneasy Gu An became.

Why did Jiang Shi decide on him?

Could it be that the will of Heaven is setting up a calamity for him?

Jiang Shi had no idea what Gu An was thinking. The reason he stayed in Xuan Valley was because he was afraid of being hunted down by the royal Li family. He didn't want to leave Xuan Valley until he had the strength to protect himself.

As for Gu An, although he felt that this master was not simple, he did not think of him as the Sword Master of the Dao.

For him, the Sword Master Fudao was just a vague legend. Apart from Lu Jiujia, none of the Xuan Gu disciples had ever seen the Sword Master Fudao make a move in their lifetime. They were skeptical of the Sword Master Fudao and suspected that he did not exist at all.

After chatting for a long time, Gu An got up and left, and the disciples dispersed as well.

Watching Gu An disappear into the woods, Jiang Shi turned and quickly went to Lu Jiujia's side, asking in a low voice, "Senior brother, it's so late, where did Master go? Why is he always going out?"

He had been pondering this question for a hundred years, and had long wanted to ask it.

Lu Jiujia glanced at him and said, "Stop asking about your master's whereabouts."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shi immediately apologized.

Lu Jiujia ignored him and walked towards his house.

As he sat down on the bed, he looked at the bright moon outside the window, a look of melancholy in his eyes.

Lately, he has felt increasingly powerless, with an indescribable sense of exhaustion, and he always feels that if he closes his eyes, his life will be over.

He began to understand that the so-called "death sentence" was something he could truly feel.

His days may be numbered; he needs to think about how to handle his affairs afterward.

If he dies, who will be left the position of senior disciple, and who can serve his senior brother as well as he did?

He first ruled out Jiang Shi, as he couldn't possibly choose a disciple his senior brother disliked to succeed him.

the other side.

When Gu An arrived at the Hidden Spirit Palace, he saw that the Deep Sea Dragon Carp had finally escaped danger and hid in a cave on the seabed. After confirming that it was safe, it fainted.

"Consider yourself lucky to have escaped this ordeal. Let's make the final stretch easier for you."

Gu An muttered to himself, then raised his hand and flicked it. A stream of magical power pierced through the ocean and entered the deep-sea dragon carp's body in a way that mortals could not understand, helping it recover from its injuries and restore its demonic power.

Then he began to pick herbs.

After picking the herbs, he did not leave, but instead read books in the Qianling Palace.

The Hidden Spirit Palace contains a large number of books, all of which are his treasured works. He would come here when he wanted to be alone.
