CHAPTER 389: CHAPTER 282: FORCED CONFESSION—MAKING THE OTHER SIDE TAKE THE FALL IS BEST

Tianlan City.

An architectural complex next to the Academy.

This is where the various Sects reside.

As supervisors and assistants.

The Cangmu Sect resides inside, in a somewhat dilapidated complex of buildings.

After all, in their eyes, Cangmu Sect was just a group of laborers.

Not on the same level as them.

Even if some people have decent cultivation, they still can’t appear in prominent places.

Cutting trees, building houses, how can it be the same as Talisman Makers, Alchemists, and Forging Masters?

At this moment, five people were sitting inside the house.

The leader was a middle-aged man who looked down at the others and said:

"The main person in charge from Cangmu Sect has arrived, someone has already greeted him, and he is not a pushover."

"Who has Cangmu Sect sent?" a fellow daoist Immortal asked from below.

Others were also quite curious: "Who has come? How capable is he?"

One of the Baldie men laughed: "Cangmu Sect has recently provoked the Fire Phoenix Clan. Although it’s nothing serious, they were almost wiped out by our Sect recently during a conflict.

If it weren’t for the sudden intervention of the Fire Phoenix Clan, perhaps there would be no Cangmu Sect now.

This time they came without even paying their respects to us; they truly lack basic respect.

Thus, there is no need to ease the tension now; things will develop as they should.

After all, the construction of the Academy is a big matter, and we won’t bear the consequences for Cangmu Sect’s mistakes."

The leading middle-aged man looked down at the others and said, "I heard that this time it’s a Golden Core Middle Stage, his capabilities aren’t much, but within Cangmu Sect, he indeed has some abilities, which you might also know.

He is the recipient of the Night Barrier and the submitter of the Nirvana Dao Scripture.

Master of the First Institute whose name is notorious in Outer Peak."

Hearing this, everyone was momentarily surprised.

Suddenly, everyone got somewhat excited.

After all, he had come in contact with the Nirvana Dao Scripture.

Perhaps...

There could be other possibilities.

"I know what you are thinking, but remember, he is here representing Cangmu Sect.

The goal is to resolve issues, and the deadline is the end of the month.

Let this head of the institute show some performance.

Otherwise, if someone suddenly disappears, Cangmu Sect sending other powerful members won’t be good for anyone," the middle-aged man said.

Everyone understood.

They wanted to let the person stay first; if they haven’t found the treasure, their actions seem justified.

If the person suddenly disappears,

it would likely cause Cangmu Sect to send even more powerful people.

In that case, failing to get the treasure can cause trouble.

They too were sent by their higher-ups, and if they cannot complete the construction on time,

they would also face immense pressure.

The loss would outweigh the gain.

"The suspect is detained on my side, tomorrow I shall meet this head of the institute to see what he is capable of.

Even if I don’t make a move on a Golden Core, I can still hinder his every step.

I wonder how many Spirit Stones he carries.

The Cultivation World isn’t all about fighting; I don’t know if he understands interpersonal etiquette," Baldie laughed.

The others didn’t show other reactions, seeming to ponder something.

At night.

Gu An was still reading.

At this moment, his mind seemed trapped inside a circle.

His divine light emanated outwards, beginning to operate.

His spirit energy gradually condensed, eventually transforming into a long golden thread, which looped around him, finally drawing into a circle.

Enclosing Gu An within it.

Instantly, Gu An opened his eyes, looking around.

Sun and Moon in the same sky, illuminating all directions.

Imprisoning him here.

Feeling everything, Gu An slowly closed his eyes.

The golden light dispersed, and afterwards, a Golden Wheel faintly appeared in his forehead.

Finally, it completely disappeared.

Thus, Gu An in the room opened his eyes.

Mastering Drawing a Prison.

For a moment, he felt that dueling others had become much safer.

Under the Sun and Moon, these people had no possibility of escape.

Those who could escape, he definitely would not act against.

After all, locking the opponent is akin to trapping oneself.

It was almost dawn.

The Ring of Destiny had feedback.

Gu An looked at it, finding that Fan He had informed him of his status, and then the others seemingly weren’t in a hurry to make a move.

Thus, there was time for more plotting.

For now, it depended on how many Spirit Stones he carried, enough to grease any palms.

"These people still value the Nirvana Dao Scripture."

Gu An sighed with emotion.

But indeed, those who came were aware of the Nirvana Dao Scripture.

Chen Changfeng was the person they were actually looking for.

Without further thought, Gu An began to experience Drawing a Prison.

This technique was truly powerful.

No less than Shining Through the Ages.

Even more suited for himself.

Only that it could not be used in front of his Sect members as once used, it would be known who killed the Direct Disciple.

Daylight came quickly.

Chen Changfeng and others knocked on Gu An’s door.

"Come in." Gu An, who had not slept all night, slowly spoke.

Zhang San and Chen Changfeng walked in.

"Head of the institute, we’ve almost completed the investigation, and we’ve also roughly figured out the situation here.

Moreover, we’ve also completed the investigation on the people from Cangmu Sect," Chen Changfeng proudly stated.

This made Gu An somewhat surprised.

That was fast.

"It’s indeed completed. I must say fellow daoist Chen has capabilities in this area, and he is also lucky," Zhang San earnestly nodded.

"Did you find out who stole the treasure?" Gu An asked.

"Not exactly," Zhang San said as he handed objects to Gu An:

"But it’s confirmed that the current suspect is likely innocent.

Besides, we cannot rule out the possibility of the Sects being involved in an inside job."
