Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses-Chapter 764 - 756 Unknown Threat

Li Ya was delighted when he saw Gu An, so a smile appeared on his face, but this delight was quickly replaced by embarrassment.

Every time he met Gu An, he bragged about how free he was outside. Previously, Li Xianyou had exposed his lies in front of Gu An, saying he often got injured. It was hard for him to cope with that, and this time, he got caught red-handed by Gu An. How could he not be embarrassed?

The Red-clothed Sword Cultivator noticed the change in Li Ya’s expression. He squinted at Gu An, who was surrounded by children, and sneered, "You know this person?"

Li Ya replied with difficulty, "I advise you not to act recklessly, or else..."

Before he finished speaking, the Red-clothed Sword Cultivator grabbed him and appeared out of nowhere, standing before the children, scaring them away with cries.

The Red-clothed Sword Cultivator scrutinized Gu An and asked, "Did you come specifically to rescue him?"

How could there be such a coincidence? He descended from the sky, chose a random city, and yet, he encountered the captive’s acquaintance.

Gu An looked at the Red-clothed Sword Cultivator and smiled, "I could be, or maybe not. If you put him down now, there might still be room to settle the conflict between you two."

"Hmph!"

The Red-clothed Sword Cultivator snorted coldly and suddenly reached out towards Gu An, moving as swiftly as lightning. freēwēbnovel.com

Boom——

A gust of wind arose out of nowhere, shaking everything on the street. The robes of the Red-clothed Sword Cultivator and Li Ya fluttered violently, their eyes widened with fear.

Impossible!

His hand was blocked by an invisible force, unable to touch Gu An. What astonished him the most was that the aura he released should have been enough to obliterate everything within a million miles, yet apart from the strong wind, nothing was destroyed around him.

In a split second, he realized the vast difference in power between him and his opponent.

Even if he wasn’t seriously injured, he wouldn’t be a match for this person!

"Senior... I..."

The Red-clothed Sword Cultivator hurriedly spoke, but before he could finish, Gu An’s eyes turned cold, and he turned to ash.

Thud!

Li Ya fell to the ground, half-kneeling, and touched his throat, feeling the cold mana dissipating.

He turned to Gu An and couldn’t help but ask, "Did you come specifically to rescue me?"

[You have successfully taken 31,782,281 years of life span from the Red Sword Ghost Demon (Late Stage of Heaven-Encompassing Free Immortal Realm)]

Only thirty-one million years of life span, a bit too little!

Gu An replied, "I have been in this city for two days, telling those children the story of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. I’ve almost finished half of it."

Upon hearing this, Li Ya was horrified.

Could it be that Gu An had foreseen things to this extent?

That Red-clothed Sword Cultivator randomly chose a place to descend but happened to land near Gu An. During the descent, he didn’t feel Gu An’s presence, which means Gu An really calculated that he would come here, and it was two days ago.

Li Ya was now the Primordial Dao Emperor, his cultivation level had reached the Daoist Collection Freedom Immortal Realm, and he had his understanding of the path of Cause and Effect derivation. However, he still couldn’t fathom how Gu An did it. It was too incredible.

Seeing Li Ya’s terrified expression, Gu An asked with a smile, "What? Do you want me to reveal a bit of heavenly secrets to you? Like today’s calamity, you will face more of in the future..."

"No! No! I don’t want to know!"

Li Ya hurriedly interrupted, extremely flustered.

Even so, Gu An’s words already left him cold.

Would he face similar troubles in the future?

Although he often got injured and said he didn’t mind, who would want to get hurt if they could avoid it?

Li Ya wasn’t a masochist; he didn’t fight to get badly injured every time. Unfortunately, his strength was inadequate.

Gu An changed the topic and asked, "Do you need my help to heal?"

Li Ya’s face turned awkward, and he shook his head in refusal.

"Then take your time recovering. I’m leaving."

Gu An said these words and disappeared from where he stood. Was it Li Ya’s illusion, or did he see Gu An’s lips curl into a smile when he turned around?

The feeling of relief from surviving was quickly replaced by embarrassment and shame, making him wish he could find a hole to crawl into.

He could only try to think positively that Junior Brother Gu had saved him more than once, and he should get used to it.

Just the thought of being held by the throat and lifted into the air made his face flush with embarrassment. He didn’t want to face Gu An, and luckily Gu An didn’t stay longer.

"According to Junior Brother Gu, the world will become even more chaotic in the future."

Li Ya thought worriedly, seemingly unable to escape the feeling of powerlessness no matter how high his cultivation level reached.

The Path of the Great Dao was indeed long.

When could he become like Junior Brother Gu, with the ability to laugh at the world?

Dust flew as Li Ya stood on the street, lost in thought until the presence of approaching civilians brought him back to reality, then he vanished from the spot.

...

Rescuing Li Ya was just a minor episode, Gu An didn’t mind much. If it wasn’t for this catastrophe that left Li Ya with no hope, he wouldn’t have intervened even if Li Ya suffered a lot.

But this incident was enough to prove that the Celestial Spirit Great World had been forced into the struggle for the Son of Heaven. Besides hiding and creating chaos, some of the outsiders were also working for the Son of Heaven to win over the major sects.

In Gu An’s view, the Celestial Spirit Great World would inevitably fall into turmoil.

More and more Outer Heaven Visitors and Immortal Gods appeared, causing the future of the Celestial Spirit Great World to change daily, all reflected in Gu An’s eyes.

He saw countless outcomes in the future. Knowing all results, he could choose the destiny he was satisfied with, but for now, he didn’t want to intervene.

As long as the Celestial Court didn’t invade the Celestial Spirit Great World on a large scale, other situations were just minor skirmishes.

In a good mood, Gu An walked through the mountains, humming a tune while observing the changes in the destiny of heaven and earth.

He saw many people’s hardships, even the Taiyi Immortal Monarch and the Seventy-Two Immortals of Jin Dong would fall into dire situations.

On the other side.

Among the continuous mountains, on a hillside, the Seventy-Two Immortals of Jin Dong were distributed, some meditating and cultivating, some comprehending the rules of heaven and earth, others deducing the future.

The Purple Dragon Star Monarch looked towards the horizon, his brows furrowed slightly.

A female immortal approached him curiously and asked, "Senior Brother, what are you looking at? You’ve been frowning for quite a while!"

The Purple Dragon Star Monarch softly replied, "Something is watching the Celestial Spirit Great World. Even I cannot fully deduce its cause."

The female immortal said indifferently, "Now that the struggle for the Son of Heaven has begun, even though the Three Thousand Great Worlds are inhabited by Mortal Spirits, there are always some Daoists. Perhaps someone is weighing whether to hide in this world."

"No, it doesn’t feel like a Mortal Spirit." The Purple Dragon Star Monarch shook his head.

These words made the female immortal feel surprised, not a Mortal Spirit?

"You mean a Son of Heaven has targeted the Celestial Spirit Great World?" the female immortal asked.

The Purple Dragon Star Monarch replied, "It’s not a Son of Heaven, and it’s not even an Immortal. I can’t say for sure, but maybe something wants to take advantage of the struggle for the Son of Heaven to commit evil in the Three Thousand Great Worlds."

Upon hearing this, the female immortal’s face turned serious. Although the Celestial Court seemed unshakable, there were many hidden enemies, not just within the range of the Celestial Dao Destiny, but also many terrible beings in the chaos watching the Celestial Court, waiting for an opportunity.
