Go to become a god, let me marry into the sect

At the city gate, Gu An felt rather awkward.

This time, he couldn't use his own name.

It would easily bring him trouble.

After all, the Ye family, whom he had never met, and certain members of the royal family would definitely target him.

A late-stage Golden Core cultivator, in their eyes, was just an object to be manipulated at will.

He couldn't just rise up and kill people.

If it were a Golden Core Completion cultivator targeting him, he could still handle it.

But if it were an early or even late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, how would he cope?

Could he instantly explode to the late-stage Nascent Soul?

The time was too short, and if he exploded too violently, it might attract trouble.

Zuo Youyan was a case in point.

Therefore, on this trip, he could only borrow someone else's name.

Zuo Youyan was the best choice.

His identity was clear, and an investigation would confirm his existence.

No matter how thorough the investigation, no one would suspect that he was an imposter.

This was the best alias.

But...

Other people were also impersonating him.

That was too much.

He had obtained Zuo Youyan's permission.

He was the legitimate user of the name Zuo Youyan.

However, he heard someone else use the name first.

"Do you need to leave your name when paying spirit stones?" Gu An asked.

"Of course not."

The refined-looking man beside him smiled and shook his head, saying, "I'm just letting them know my name in advance, because soon this city will be full of my legends."

His confident expression made Gu An feel slightly错 (slightly confused/surprised).

However, the other party was powerful, with an early-stage Returning Void cultivation.

With such cultivation, he naturally had the confidence.

Afterward, Gu An also paid the spirit stones.

The three of them stepped into Pure Water City together.

The fake Zuo Youyan looked at Gu An and asked with a smile, "Are you two Dao partners?"

"That's not the case," Gu An shook his head, denying it.

Chu Meng didn't pay attention to their conversation but looked around, as if searching for something.

At this time, the refined-looking man didn't ask any further questions but said with a smile, "May I ask what your names are? I, Zuo Youyan, like making friends the most."

"My surname is also Zuo," Gu An politely replied.

"Fellow Daoist Zuo?" The other party said in surprise, "Then we're from the same family? It seems we can travel together, and if you need anything, I can help."

Gu An shook his head and said, "Senior, there's no need to do that.

The two of us easily attract trouble and may implicate you."

"In my life, Zuo Youyan has never known the meaning of the word fear!" the refined man said proudly.

Gu An was stunned when he heard this, as if he had thought of something, and said softly, "So, Senior Zuo has never been afraid."

It was as if he was confirming with the other party and also confirming with himself.

"Do you know my experiences?" The refined man smiled and said, "When I was young, I joined the Cangmu Sect.

My talent far surpassed my peers, and they were jealous of me and harmed me, but even if they were like behemoths, I never took half a step back."

"Yes, you never retreated.

At that time, Senior Zuo's heart was higher than the sky, and you were proud and aloof in the world, unafraid of power," Gu An said with emotion.

"Even if you died, you would never regret it."

Gu An lowered his eyes.

Zuo Youyan might think he was wrong at the beginning, but he never thought that he shouldn't have done it that way.

If he hadn't, how could he be Zuo Youyan?

He never bowed his head.

There was only one thing he regretted.

That was Su Ya'er.

Hearing this, the refined man laughed loudly, "The ones who die will only be others, so can you rest assured?"

Gu An looked at the other party and said respectfully, "Thank you, Senior."

It made him understand Zuo Youyan even more.

Zuo Youyan was weak, escaped, and was embarrassed, but he never bowed his head.

When he appears, he will only be stronger, and when he reappears, he will kill all enemies.

Gu An suppressed the emotions in his heart and said, "Senior Zuo's arrogance is used to climb to the top of all mountains, not to be submissive to others."

Hearing this, the refined man laughed again, "Fellow Daoist Zuo understands me."

Gu An returned a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Zuo, are you here for the royal secret realm as well?" the refined man asked.

Gu An nodded, "That's right, Senior, are you here for this too?"

"Naturally.

I heard that you need qualifications to enter the secret realm, do you have them, Fellow Daoist Zuo?" the refined man asked.

Gu An shook his head in denial.

"What a coincidence, I don't have them either, but I know some people who plan to sneak in secretly.

This secret realm is Nine Heavens Ridge, and there's more than one entrance.

The royal family only controls one relatively safe entrance," the refined man looked at Gu An and asked, "Are you willing to come with us?"

Gu An turned to look at his superior.

The latter said expressionlessly, "Your cultivation is high, listen to you."

Gu An: "..."

Doesn't your conscience hurt?

Saying such things against your conscience.

After thinking for a moment, Gu An decided to go with the other party, even though the other party seemed to have bad intentions.

But if they could really sneak in, it would be convenient.

After all, they were only there to seize the treasures in the depths of Nine Heavens Ridge, not to be enemies with others.

Following the normal procedures would cause a lot of trouble.

After Gu An agreed, Senior Zuo said happily, "Let's go, I'll take you to meet them.

There are about four or five people this time, not many, it won't be difficult to sneak in."

Not long after.

Senior Zuo brought them to the front of a mansion.

Gu An looked at the mansion and was slightly surprised.

Ye Mansion.

"Ye Mansion?" Gu An looked at Chu Meng, revealing his doubts.

Chu Meng was also surprised, "The Ye family of Pure Water Prefecture? Don't they have marriage ties with the royal family?"

Senior Zuo smiled awkwardly, "I didn't expect it to be the Ye family either, but the agreed location is here."

Immediately, he looked at Gu An and said, "Now that we're here, let's go in and see what the situation is?"

Ye family.

Gu An frowned, how could he dare to trespass here?

Once they fought, what use would his cultivation be?

But he glanced at Chu Meng.

He alone would naturally not be able to do it, but with Chu Meng present, the situation would be completely different.

In the end, he nodded and said, "Then let's go in and take a look."

The refined Senior Zuo was a little surprised, he didn't expect you to agree so quickly.

Logically speaking, coming to this gate, you should think twice before making a decision.

"Fellow Daoist Zuo is admirable," he then asked the guard a question.

The guard finally pointed to the side door.

"It seems we can only go through the side door," Chu Meng walked to Gu An's side and said.

"Then I have to wrong you, Senior," Gu An said in a low voice.

Chu Meng looked curious, "Aren't you wronged?"

"Why should I be wronged?" Gu An asked back.

He was not a person of noble status, the side door was fine, it didn't affect anything.

Moreover, this was the Ye family.

Its strength should be better than the Cangmu Sect.

If he insisted on going through the main entrance, it might attract trouble.

"You're not young, but you don't have a big temper," Chu Meng smiled.

Gu An thought for a moment and said, "Will going through the side door affect Senior's lesson to those who have no manners?"

"I know you definitely won't, if you kill someone, remember to tell me, so I can prepare to escape," Chu Meng said softly, "I'm afraid you'll suddenly kill someone, and then suddenly run away, and I won't be able to react.

In the sect, you killed people too fast, by the time I found you, everything was settled."

Gu An: "..."

I'm not a bloodthirsty person either.

Moreover, the previous actions were completely forced.

If I didn't act, others would have.

It was just a pre-emptive strike.

I can't wait for others to attack before fighting back.

Why put yourself in such a desperate situation?

Knowing that they harbored ill intentions, it was natural to strike first.

"We're special, we have to avoid the crowds," the refined Senior Zuo came over and said.

Gu An nodded to show his understanding, and then they turned through a winding alley and came to an inconspicuous side door.

The bluestone slabs in front of the door were covered with moss, and time had carved mottled marks on it.

This place was extremely remote, and Gu An thought that this door should rarely be used.

With a "creak", the door was slowly opened.

A servant stood respectfully at the doorway, head lowered.

Patiently awaiting Gu An and the others.

After a brief conversation between the refined Senior Zuo and the servant, the servant led the three into the estate.

The servant walked ahead with his head down, softly reminding them: "Esteemed guests, the Ye estate has certain rules. Those entering through the side entrance must avoid the master of the house.

If you see the master, you must lower your head and avert your gaze.

If the master inquires, you may only look at his shoes.

Without permission, you may not raise your head, nor may you speak.

Please, esteemed guests, bear this in mind."

Upon hearing this, Gu An was slightly shocked.

The rules were so elaborate?

Not allowed to speak, only allowed to look at shoes, this...

What kind of esteemed guest was this?

For a moment, he felt that even a demonic sect like the Azurewood Sect was much freer than this place.

This place gave him a sense of inexplicable oppression.

However, Chu Meng paid no heed to the servant's words, she looked around, surveying the surroundings.

Seeming not entirely satisfied with the layout here.

Gu An followed her gaze, and what first caught his eye was a winding path, with neatly trimmed flowers and plants on both sides, the air filled with the fragrance of flowers, mixed with the fresh scent of soil.

At the end of the path, a verdant bamboo forest swayed in the wind, making rustling sounds.

This estate was astonishingly large.

The refined Senior Zuo was quite surprised by their behavior.

But the servant did not stop them.

Along the way, Gu An saw two young men on another path, attentively introducing something to a monk.

"People from the Buddhist sect?" Gu An was slightly concerned.

He had too much karma, and if he got too close, if it merged with the Blood Spirit, it would surely be discovered.

"Looks like it," Chu Meng nodded: "It seems the Ye family has a partnership with the Buddhist sect."

The refined man was silent.

You guys are really bold, actually discussing it so openly.

Do you really take what the other person said as a passing breeze?

In Clear Water City, the Ye family can be said to dominate the skies.

But why didn't the servant stop them?

Subsequently, they were led into a courtyard.

After giving instructions, the servant stood in place.

Signaling them to enter on their own.

Seeing the three enter, the servant left expressionlessly.

He naturally saw Gu An and Chu Meng's actions and words.

As for stopping them.

There was no need to do so.

An incompetent person who offends the master will surely die.

But someone who dares to speak already implies that they are extraordinary.

He was not worthy of conflict with them.

Therefore, letting them be was fine.

This path would not offend any important masters, so he had no worries about his life.

But if he offended two extraordinary people, he would surely die.

If they were just people who feared no authority, he would still be unable to escape death after offending them.

The servant lowered his head and quickly left.

Gu An and Chu Meng stepped into the courtyard, finding that there were already three people inside.

Including them, there were a total of six people.

Among these three, one was a man in his fifties or sixties, and the other two were a handsome young man and a beautiful woman who exuded coldness.

They were also sizing up Gu An and the others.

Before they could get to know each other, a voice came from the inner room: "Has everyone arrived?"

"It seems there are two extra people," the old man said slowly.

"Indeed, there are two extra people. I met them on the way and brought them along," the refined man explained.

"It doesn't matter, since they're here, let them act together," the voice from the inner room came again.

Subsequently, a man sitting in a wooden wheelchair was slowly pushed out by a maid.

The man was about thirty years old, his aura restrained, yet he appeared exceptionally energetic.

"You all want to enter the Nine Heavens Ridge? There are indeed many opportunities inside, and it is rumored that the inheritance of an ultimate expert is within," the man surveyed the crowd and said slowly.

He paused, adding: "I am the sixth in line in the Ye family, you can call me Sixth Master."

"Sixth Master can send us in?" the old man asked.

"Naturally, I can," Sixth Master nodded.

"May I ask what Sixth Master needs us to do?" the old man asked again.

"Find a spiritual herb called the Nine Revolutions Blood Fungus," Sixth Master lowered his head, looking at his feet, and said slowly, "It's to allow me to stand up again."

"However, this item is not easy to obtain. We can risk sending you in, but you must bring back this spiritual herb.

I will purchase it at a normal price, and will definitely not let you suffer a loss.

Of course, if you fail to find the Nine Revolutions Blood Fungus, you will need to use other special spiritual herbs as the price for entering and exiting.

Otherwise, our people will not pick you up.

If you still want to go in, then I can send you in.

After entering, if you have the ability to come out on your own, then you don't need to go through me.

What do you say?"

For a moment, everyone fell silent.

So, after entering, they were not free.

However, they couldn't enter on their own anyway.

Being able to enter and pay with spiritual herbs was still worthwhile.

Especially since there was also the inheritance of a powerful expert inside.

In the end, everyone agreed to enter.

"By the way, one of you needs to impersonate Zuo Youyan. This time, there are some people who understand the secret realm, and they have some grudges with Zuo Youyan.

You can lure them over and use this to explore more secrets," Sixth Master surveyed the crowd and continued: "In addition, I have another task that I hope to entrust to everyone.

I can pay part of the reward in advance for this task."

"What is it?" the refined man asked.

"Kill someone," Sixth Master said calmly.

Subsequently, the maid sent six jade slips to the six people through the air.

Gu An became curious and picked up a jade slip to examine it.

Upon seeing it, he was stunned.

In the jade slip was a middle-aged man around fifty years old, with a pale face and weak vitality, seemingly vulnerable. This person was not special, but...

It was Gu An himself.

"Gu An of the Azurewood Sect, late stage of the Golden Core realm, whoever takes his head can get an additional reward. In addition, we provide miasma antidote pills, divine thunder talismans, and spirit-concentrating demon-breaking pills," Sixth Master said indifferently: "This time, you will encounter miasma forests and demonic illusions, special antidote pills and demon-breaking pills can keep you safe and sound.

Whether to accept this task is entirely up to you."

Gu An felt that this was not a multiple-choice question at all.

If they didn't give it, unless they had a way to resist.

Otherwise, they would become weak.

At that time...

Who could know if the people around them would suddenly attack?

After all, killing to seize treasures was not uncommon.

After only a little hesitation, Gu An took on the task with Chu Meng, and so did the others.

"Then, who will impersonate Zuo Youyan?" Sixth Master asked again.

Gu An was about to look at the refined man, but the other party spoke first, pointing to Gu An beside him, saying: "This fellow Daoist Zuo's surname is Zuo, so it would be more realistic for him to impersonate him."

Gu An: "...

Didn't you say your name was Zuo Youyan?

After Gu An was determined to be Zuo Youyan, the six were arranged to rest.

Only Sixth Master and the maid remained in the courtyard.

"How are these people?" Sixth Master asked.

"Average, the strongest is only in the late stage of Void Refinement," the maid thought for a moment and said: "However, it's enough to kill Gu An, but I don't know if it's enough for the Buddhist people to open that place.

That Zuo Youyan has good vitality, maybe it's enough for the Buddhist sect to open that door.

But this is the third batch, so they might not be used."

Sixth Master chuckled: "It doesn't matter, if they're not used, then there's no need to keep them. They'll be dealt with together at that time. Those pills are not something they can eat."
