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

Chapter 720 The Anxious Great Sage of Blood Prison

After staying at Juhua Sect for two days, Gu An took Zui back to Wushi Dojo. When they arrived at the woods on the edge of the Dojo, Zui walked beside Gu An, skipping and hopping.

"Master, when are we going to Juhua Sect again?" Zui asked with a grin.

Compared to a hundred years ago, Sin has become more vibrant. He has reached the Nirvana Realm and has officially embarked on the path of cultivation. The power left to him by Fairy Yaoxuan has been sealed by Gu An to prevent the karma of the Great Dao from backfiring on him.

"What? You have a little sister you like?"

Gu An asked with a smile, "Even without Jiang Qiong's arrangement, Zui had already made the acquaintance of several female disciples of the Juhua Sect in just two days. This was mainly because he was handsome and young, and he would attract the attention of female cultivators wherever he went. He was not timid and could chat with anyone."

Zui tilted his head and replied, "Those girls are indeed very cute, and I quite enjoy spending time with them. However, compared to them, I feel that there are still many places and people in Juhua Sect that I should get to know."

He wasn't immature; he was just used to this body and maintained this physical form. His mind was also growing, and he became aware of the feelings between men and women, but he had no interest in them whatsoever.

Gu An could hear his inner thoughts; this kid simply wanted to have fun.

"Then you'd better train hard. If you do well, I'll bring you here again in the future," Gu An replied with a smile.

"Master, you're the best!"

Zui was overjoyed and immediately grabbed Gu An's arm, excitedly recounting what he had seen and heard in the past two days.

After walking for a while, Zui suddenly spotted someone.

It was an injured young woman, leaning against a large tree, practicing her internal energy to heal her wounds.

Hearing Gu An and the other person talking and laughing, she opened her eyes, her face showing vigilance.

Gu An pretended not to see her and continued forward. As they got closer, the young woman became more nervous.

Sin stopped talking and just looked at the young woman with curiosity.

She only relaxed secretly after Gu An walked past the young woman.

Seeing that Gu An didn't speak, Zui didn't ask any further questions.

Only after the two disappeared at the edge of the woods did the young woman finally feel completely relieved.

"Wait, this is a forbidden area. They... could they be people from the Beginningless Realm?"

The young woman thought to herself, and suddenly felt an urge to chase after them. She was being hunted and had fled here. If she could get help from Wushi, she would surely be able to escape.

The moment the thought crossed her mind, a sudden sense of fear arose within her, causing her to quickly dismiss it.

On the other side, Gu An and Zui stepped into the dojo's territory.

Although Zui's cultivation level was not high enough, he knew he had returned home when he felt the sudden increase in spiritual energy.

"Master, that person seemed to be injured. Is there something wrong with the Qiankun Sect?" Zui couldn't help but ask.

He had visited the Qiankun Sect before, but he did not sense any internal conflicts within the sect.

Gu An looked ahead and said leisurely, "The Qiankun Sect is going to disband, and our dojo will become even larger in the future. Are you happy?"

“What’s so great about getting bigger, Master? There are still so many people on this continent. Are you going to expel them?” Sin pressed.

"What do you want your teacher to do?"

“I hope Master will keep them here, so that Wushi will be more lively. Of course, this is just my idea. If Master is afraid of disturbing cultivation, then expel them.”

Zui replied that in his heart, his master was the most important person. He obeyed his master's every word and would never forget the long and tedious days spent in the Heavenly Tomb of Despair.

"In that case, we'll do as you say and let them stay on the mainland."

Gu An patted Zui's head and smiled with satisfaction.

He cared more about sin's character than its cultivation level.

Without compassion, one will eventually resort to extremes.

Zui was even more pleased upon hearing this, but Gu An continued, "It's fine to leave them on the mainland, but you can't bully them in the future. Regardless of their cultivation level, you must always respect others, understand?"

"Don't worry, Master, I will definitely remember it."

As the master and disciple talked, they walked towards the mountains and forests ahead. The mountains and forests of the Wushi Daoist Temple appeared vast and boundless, but in the vast Nine Spirits Continent, they were only a very small part.

The same applies to things in this world. The Qiankun Sect is undergoing a catastrophe, and many feel that the sky has fallen, yet their sky seems insignificant compared to the rest of the world.

On the path of the Great Way, on a meteorite.

Blood Prison Saint, Fang Xuan, and five other cultivators sat together in a somber atmosphere.

A male cultivator looked at the Blood Prison Great Sage and couldn't help but ask, "Second Brother, do you really have to go back? Aren't we seven brothers living a happy and carefree life?"

Others tried to dissuade him, because they couldn't understand why the Great Sage of Blood Prison was preparing to leave the Path of the Great Dao and return to his own sect.

Is it really that good to be someone's mount?
Now, the seven of them roam freely on the path of the Great Dao. Even if they encounter a Great Dao Emperor, the seven of them working together can escape. They have already made a name for themselves and have a bright future ahead of them.

Fang Xuan knew how powerful Gu An was, and he understood that the Blood Prison Great Sage's choice was right. However, he was still very reluctant to let him go. The only thing he could do was neither persuade nor agree with him.

The Blood Prison Great Sage widened his eyes and said, "Shut up! My master is the most powerful being. You cannot offend him. Besides, it is a better choice for me to go back. It is also to leave a way out for you guys!"

"A way out? Why?" another cultivator asked.

The Great Sage of Blood Prison snorted, "The Great Dao is boundless. You will eventually encounter tremendous trouble. When that happens, come and beg me, and I can ask my master for help."

These words left everyone looking at each other, unsure how to respond.

"Actually, you can stay."

A voice rang out, and just as Blood Prison Great Sage was about to retort, his eyes widened suddenly. He stood up abruptly, turned around, and saw Gu An and Zui walking towards them.

"Owner!"

The Great Sage of Blood Prison was immediately excited and knelt down on the ground with a thud.

The others stood up as well, looking at Gu An and the other person with curiosity and nervousness. Fang Xuan, on the other hand, was sweating profusely and his whole body was stiff. He recalled the nightmarish experience of following Zhan Ting to attack the Tianling Great World.

Zui followed behind Gu An, curiously watching the seven Blood Prison Saints.

Gu An walked up to the Blood Prison Great Sage, looked down at him, and smiled, "You can think it over carefully. If you want to stay outside, I won't force you to go back. Our friendship still exists."

The Great Sage of Blood Prison claimed to be his mount, but in reality, he was no different from a disciple, and he didn't need a mount on ordinary days.

After spending a lot of time together, feelings inevitably develop. Gu An was quite satisfied with the Blood Prison Great Sage and had long regarded him as his own son.

"No! I said I would be your mount for life. Unless you send me away, I will never leave you!" Blood Prison Great Sage said urgently, his heart filled with panic.

Could it be that his master has acquired a new mount during the years he has been away?

Is it azure, azure, or some other kind of enchantress?

Damn it!
Gu An heard his thoughts and felt quite helpless.

Why are they all female demons?

That bastard, how could he think of him like that!

Gu An said irritably, "Fine, then get up and come back with me later."

The Great Sage of Blood Prison smiled with delight and stood up.

Seeing him grinning foolishly in front of Gu An, Fang Xuan and the other six found it utterly absurd; they had never seen the Blood Prison Great Sage so obsequious.

Fang Xuan was alright, since he knew Gu An's identity, but the other five were filled with curiosity and wanted to know Gu An's background.

"Master, what brings you here? Did you come specifically to pick me up? With your supernatural powers, you could just wave your hand and move me back, right?" Blood Prison Great Sage asked curiously, his words secretly alarming his five sworn brothers.

Gu An replied, "It was indeed to pick you up, and also to help you resolve a problem."

A problem?
The Blood Prison Great Sage and the others were puzzled.

Fang Xuan asked cautiously, "Sword... Senior, what trouble are we in?"

Gu An looked at him, and his gaze startled him so much that he quickly lowered his eyes, looking very uncomfortable, which surprised the other five people.

Why is the eldest brother so afraid of the second brother's master?

Gu An replied, "You have acted too rashly and offended a Great Dao Emperor. Behind that Great Dao Emperor is the Ascended Yellow Heaven. This void has been sealed off, and you have nowhere to escape."
