Chapter 369: Eliminating Support
Chapter 369: Eliminating Support
"I'm already at the Transcend Void Realm, they can't possibly detect me!"
Hao Long boasted, his voice still retaining a youthful tone despite being over three hundred years old, like that of a young boy.
Gu An didn't argue or mention that someone was secretly infiltrating the Eight Scenic Immortal World. He sized up Hao Long and said, "Are you getting accustomed to life in the Ancient Hao Sect? If you want to come back, I can talk to the Taixuan Sect."
With the Taixuan Sect's current influence, obtaining the Ancient Hao Sect's sacred beast would be an easy task.
Hao Long replied, "I'm doing fine. I won't be coming back. The Taixuan Sect is far superior to the Ancient Hao Sect. If I return, my status will definitely be lower than before."
Gu An smiled to himself, thinking, What a foolish dragon. Then stay in the Ancient Hao Sect.
He had no intention of revealing his strength to Hao Long; this was his attitude towards his disciples. Only those who were sincere and determined to stay by his side would receive his focused cultivation guidance.
Just then, footsteps echoed from the distant cave entrance, startling Gu An and Hao Long, who turned to look.
A figure emerged from the cave entrance—a man in black with a handsome face, holding a folding fan. On his shoulder perched a palm-sized black spider.
From a distance, he looked at Gu An and Hao Long, a mocking smile on his face. His gaze then shifted to the Cavern Vine Tree, his eyes gleaming with greed.
Although Gu An could see through his cultivation level, he couldn't help but send out a Lifespan Probe.
【Demon Chaser (Profound Realm, Second Layer): 2107/4600/7500】
A two-thousand-year-old monster!
Gu An anticipated his next move with excitement, but his expression remained guarded.
"You... How did you..." Hao Long exclaimed, his eyes wide with surprise.
Gu An, through his insight into causality and fate, saw the connection between Hao Long and Demon Chaser. Demon Chaser had hidden his identity and joined the Ancient Hao Sect. He had once visited Hao Long, disguising himself as a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator and showing great respect.
Demon Chaser scoffed, "If not for my help, do you think you could have made it here?"
He took a step forward, and the aura of the Profound Realm erupted, startling Hao Long, who quickly revealed his true form and stood in front of Gu An.
"You are no match for me, and if we fight, this place will be exposed."
Demon Chaser coldly laughed, his gaze fixed on the Cavern Vine Tree, his eyes shining brighter.
"Who are you? How can you have such cultivation?" Hao Long asked through gritted teeth. The Transcend Void Realm and the Profound Realm were separated by the Body Merging Realm, and facing Demon Chaser, Hao Long felt immense pressure.
Gu An began to probe into Demon Chaser's causality.
Demon Chaser's background was quite deep. He had a Great Vehicle Realm master who was severely injured and hiding in a cave. This master was from a demonic sect in the sea, and the highest cultivator in the sect had reached the Loose Essence Realm, who happened to be Demon Chaser's grandmaster.
His grandmaster, a Loose Essence Realm cultivator, was a traitor to an ancient family that had existed for countless generations. Despite being a traitor, his brother was still alive, and they maintained a close relationship. Whenever Demon Chaser's grandmaster encountered an insurmountable problem, he would seek help from his brother.
The strongest cultivator in this ancient family had reached the Heaven Earth Fleeting Immortal Realm. Interestingly, the fortune of this family was connected to another Great World that Gu An had encountered during his previous breakthrough.
In other words, the origin of this ancient family was from another Great World.
Gu An wasn't particularly concerned. That Great World wasn't significantly stronger than the Heavenly Spirit Great World, and they were located far apart.
He could only sigh at the complexity of Demon Chaser's causality.
If he were to become an enemy of Demon Chaser, he would easily get entangled in a series of causal grudges.
After defeating the small ones, he would face the big ones, and after defeating the big ones, he would confront the elders.
Not long after,
Demon Chaser approached Hao Long and said, "Kneel down and submit to me. This is your only chance for survival."
"His tone was domineering, leaving no room for argument."
Gu An walked a few steps to the side, allowing Demon Chaser to see him. With a playful smile, he toyed with the Destiny Pen in his right hand and asked, "What about me? Is there any chance for me to live?"
Demon Chaser turned to look at Gu An, his smile provoking a sense of provocation.
[Demon Chaser has developed hostility towards you and intends to kill you. Do you want to perform a Lifespan Probe on him?]
Seeing the prompt, Gu An couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.
His action caused Demon Chaser's eyes to turn cold with anger. "You? You're naturally going to die. You'll make a perfect meal for the Cavern Vine Tree."
"How do you know the Cavern Vine Tree eats flesh and blood? What's your connection with the Thousand Autumn Pavilion?" Gu An asked curiously.
He already knew the truth, but he wanted to ask more questions since he had nothing better to do at the moment.
Suddenly, Demon Chaser transformed into a cloud of demonic energy and dispersed, startling Azure Dragon, who turned to look in surprise. The next moment, he saw Demon Chaser appear beside Gu An.
Demon Chaser's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief. His right palm was blocked by the Destiny Pen, and his arm trembled.
Not only was he unable to attack Gu An, but he also couldn't retreat. His entire body was immobilized by an invisible force.
"You... how is this possible... Who exactly are you?" Demon Chaser asked in a trembling voice, his face filled with fear.
Gu An looked down at him and asked, "If I can't give you a chance to live, do you have any last words?"
This statement sent a chill through Demon Chaser's body.
"If you dare to kill me, my master will not let you off!" Demon Chaser gritted his teeth.
Gu An asked curiously, "Your master is just a Great Vehicle Realm cultivator, and he's heavily injured. How can he not let me off?"
As soon as these words left his mouth, Demon Chaser's pupils shook violently, and fear and despair engulfed his heart.
It seemed like he had remembered something, and he quickly said, "My master comes from an Immortal Dao Sect... Let me go, and we'll end this here."
[Demon Chaser's hostility towards you has intensified! Do you want to perform a Lifespan Probe on him?]
The hostility had increased!
Gu An looked at the prompt, unmoved. He had never intended to let Demon Chaser off the hook.
Now, it was time for him to claim more lives!
Gu An retracted his hand, and a terrifying force pressed down on Demon Chaser, causing him to kneel before Gu An with a thud.
Azure Dragon's mouth hung open as he stared at Gu An in disbelief.
An old memory flashed through his mind.
Gu An held the Destiny Pen and waved it in the air, leaving a golden trail that floated in front of him.
The golden light illuminated Demon Chaser's face, making him appear deathly pale.
Gu An calmly continued writing, eventually forming the character for 'death'.
As the final stroke was drawn, Demon Chaser's heart pounded with fear. He looked at Gu An with a mix of terror and astonishment and asked through gritted teeth, "What have you done to me?"
[You have successfully taken 67 years of lifespan from Spirit River Sage (Great Vehicle Realm, Ninth Layer)]
[You have successfully taken 380 years of lifespan from Zhang Lu (Loose Immortal Realm, Fourth Layer)]
[You have successfully taken 512 years of lifespan from Xu Tianxin (Loose Immortal Realm, Seventh Layer)]
...
One by one, the prompts appeared before Gu An. He glanced at Demon Chaser and said indifferently, "I haven't done anything to you. I've merely eliminated all the backers you could have called upon."
Demon Chaser's eyes widened, and he almost went insane as he shouted, "What are you talking about...?"
Before he could finish his sentence, an indescribable sense of panic overwhelmed him.
For some reason, he suddenly felt abandoned by the entire world, gripped by an unprecedented panic and an unnameable heart-pounding sensation that stirred his thoughts.
