Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses

Chapter 1107: Chapter 1098: The Terrifying Gu An

Watching the golden chains converge into a Golden Bell, trapping the Great Infinite Demon Ancestor inside, Liu An was extremely excited.

He had actually succeeded!

He had suppressed a Saint!

Although it wasn’t the true body of the Saint, his actions had thwarted the Saint’s plan to descend!

He turned his head to look at Gu An, his eyes full of excitement, wanting to say something, yet unsure of what to say.

The winds blew through Gu An’s sideburns, his gaze calm as he looked ahead, his presence giving Liu An great reassurance, as long as he was there, Liu An felt he could overcome any formidable enemy.

Gu An withdrew the hand placed on Liu An’s shoulder and reached out with a grab. The Golden Bell from afar suddenly flew toward him, and in this motion, it pulled out Wei Ye’s body.

During the flight, the Golden Bell rapidly shrank, landing in Gu An’s palm.

Liu An watched as Wei Ye’s body fell to the ground, frowning deeply. He focused his gaze on the Golden Bell in Gu An’s hand, lowering his own hands as the golden chains around him dissipated.

“Senior, have I succeeded?” Liu An asked cautiously.

Gu An admired the Golden Bell in his hand, speaking softly, “You have succeeded. This Secret Technique is quite impressive and innovative.”

Upon hearing the praise, Liu An did not feel joyful; instead, his expression darkened because the person who created this Secret Technique was already dead.

Gu An continued, “This Secret Technique can seal a Saint’s sub-soul, block the Saint’s descent, and even have a counter-impact on the Saint. Its functions are infinite. However, given your Cultivation Level, accomplishing this was overly forceful, but being able to execute this technique was already your limit.”

Liu An nodded, sincerely expressing, “Indeed, being able to seal a Saint’s sub-soul is not easy, after all, a Saint is Immortal, undefeated.”

Speaking of undefeated, he hesitated again.

Because Gu An’s attitude towards the Great Infinite Demon Ancestor was too relaxed and casual.

The Great Infinite Demon Ancestor referred to Gu An as a Saint who had even cultivated with a Saint. Thinking back, it made him dizzy.

Everything seemed unreal.

Liu An once again looked toward Gu An, asking, “Senior, can the calamity of the Heavenly Dao be overcome today? It seems we are facing more than just one Saint…”

The mere avatar of the Great Infinite Demon Ancestor had already driven him to despair, making it hard to imagine how terrifying the true body of a Saint would be.

Gu An’s lips curled into a smile, and he said, “Everyone has their own responsibilities, the safety of the Heavenly Dao is not your concern.”

After speaking, Gu An closed his hand, crushing the Golden Bell, as tiny wisps of gold smoke seeped through his fingers, dispersing with the wind.

Liu An widened his eyes, exclaiming urgently, “Senior, don’t do that, it’s a sealing Secret Technique. If you disperse his sub-soul, it will only let him escape calamity!”

Gu An laughed airily, “Did you really think I intended to rely on you and Wei Ye’s Secret Technique?”

Liu An stood frozen, unable to understand Gu An’s meaning.

Gu An smirked, continuing, “I let you use the Secret Technique merely to help you relinquish your attachment. Dealing with a Saint doesn’t need to be so complicated for me.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu An thrust his right arm forward, opened his hand, and grabbed through the air. In an instant, dense black qi emerged in front of him, shrouding heaven and earth, plunging Liu An’s surroundings into darkness.

His eyes widened as the roiling black qi blocked out the sky and sun, violently surging, within it appeared a terrifying eight-armed figure, like the oldest Demon God of Chaos, a symbol of ominousness and mystery, this Demon God was struggling.

“You…”

The voice of the Great Infinite Demon Ancestor echoed, filled with terror.

Upon hearing this voice, Liu An was stunned.

The sub-soul of the Great Infinite Demon Ancestor was still here?

Wait a minute…

Could it not be a sub-soul?

An absurd idea sprang forth in Liu An’s mind, could this not be the sub-soul of the Great Infinite Demon Ancestor?

Gu An tilted his chin toward Liu An, the wind blowing through his long hair and robes, he smiled boldly, his voice clearly reaching Liu An’s ears:

“When dealing with a Saint, I will act.”

Liu An turned to look at Gu An, such self-assuredness from Gu An deeply shocked him.

He just stood there, dumbfounded, watching Gu An pull the Great Infinite Demon Ancestor from the rolling black qi, the enormous and menacing Saint True Body making his heart pound.

Before he could react, the Great Infinite Demon Ancestor transformed into a human shape, shrinking to normal size, colliding with Gu An’s hand, his throat clasped in Gu An’s single grip.

A Saint captured with a single hand!

The mood of the Great Infinite Demon Ancestor was like that of the previous Great Profound Yin Dominator, whose true body watched the scene outside the Chaos, initially scared by Gu An’s power, only for the next second, for their true body to be seized by Gu An from afar.

Facing Gu An personally brought a despair so intense that it stripped away their courage and the pride of a Saint.

Just as the Great Infinite Demon Ancestor was about to speak, Gu An’s right hand clenched tightly, directly shattering it into blood mist that spread out.

Gu An squinted his eyes, seeming to inhaled, completely absorbing the blood mist.

The sight sent chills down Liu An’s spine, unspeakably terrifying, inducing a newfound fear toward Gu An.

Such a method appeared frightfully daunting!

He recalled the experience of first setting foot upon Inch Island years ago.

He suddenly realized Gu An’s behaviors had consistently been bizarre and ruthless, how decisively he had rendered his Cultivation Level obsolete back then.

After the blood mist dissipated around Gu An, he turned his eyes toward Liu An, his gaze making Liu An feel uneasy, stepping back instinctively.

But remembering that Gu An had saved him, he quickly steadied his footsteps, facing Gu An’s gaze with trepidation, uncertain of what Gu An would say next.

“This calamity will last for many years. What you should do next, think it over carefully yourself.”

Having said this, Gu An turned and left.

Liu An watched his back, suddenly gathering the courage, loudly asked, “Senior, how can I become your disciple?”

Gu An replied without turning his head, “When the calamity ends, if you can enter the Wushi Realm, you will have the opportunity to become my disciple.”

Wushi Realm!

Liu An had naturally heard of the fame of this Holy Land; it was said the Ancestor Master Wushi ascended to immortality, had once turned the tides, repelled the Chaos Evil Demon, and was the fastest to ascend within the Celestial Court as a Celestial Dao Venerable.

So, the senior is Ancestor Master Wushi?

No wonder he is so formidable.

Liu An looked at Gu An, his expression once more becoming excited, just as he was about to speak again, Gu An suddenly vanished.

Seeing this, he exhaled a deep breath; regardless of everything, he had survived, and Wei Ye’s great vendetta had been avenged.

Wait!

Liu An quickly turned and ran towards Wei Ye’s corpse.

On the other side, Gu An returned to Inch Island, standing on the reef, sitting cross-legged, raising his right hand, surrounded by wisps of black qi.

The Great Profound Yin Dominator looked at Gu An, uncertain of his thoughts.

Hongqian Ancestor couldn’t help but ask, “Master, where did you just go? Earlier a terrifying Saint’s power descended, even piercing through the Celestial Dao Destiny. I couldn’t perceive it, but that Saint’s power suddenly disappeared; does it have something to do with you?”

Gu An, back turned to them, casually replied, “Hmm, I captured him for a purpose.”

Such a casual answer left Hongqian Ancestor momentarily speechless.

Xuanwu blinked his eyes.

What does that mean?

Did Master just go capture a Saint just now?
