CHAPTER 391: CHAPTER 283: DID YOU KILL HIM?

In the prison cell.

Gu An had intended to continue questioning.

Although the person before his eyes was extremely weak, he still had to follow the necessary procedures.

After all, he was there to complete a mission.

As the person involved, essential questioning could not be omitted.

Otherwise, he would have no idea how to proceed with the investigation.

If nothing could be uncovered, it would be difficult to coordinate.

Only by clarifying the general issues and determining responsibility could he better mediate the problem.

And finally, let everything return to normal.

At least, the Cangmu Sect had to shoulder its responsibility.

As such, if they continued to stall, it would be their problem.

The Cangmu Sect was weaker in power, it was inevitable to suffer losses.

But what needed to be done was to ensure these losses were bearable.

If the problem was too significant, the Cangmu Sect did not want to suffer unmerited losses.

So, in the end, they would certainly inflict punishment on themselves.

For ineffectiveness in handling matters.

What he hadn’t expected was that before he could ask further, a force had locked him down.

Taking him for someone staging a prison break.

The assumption was naturally false.

The truth was that they were trying to intimidate him.

The force arrived swiftly and was extremely vast.

Primordial Spirit Perfection.

Only a step away from Returning to Void.

Strong.

Far too strong.

In an instant, the force suppressed everything around, leaving everyone unable to breathe.

Facing such an attack, Gu An’s eyes narrowed slightly.

If it weren’t for having Zhang San with him, it would really be difficult to move an inch.

"Thief, I’m afraid today you might arrive with your life but not leave with it," said a bald figure who appeared, shaking the very ground with his step.

The overwhelming power of Primordial Spirit Perfection crushed everything.

In a blink, he approached Gu An, ready to seize his neck with one hand.

However, just as he reached out his hand,

Another hand suddenly appeared.

Approaching his neck.

Then, with a slight squeeze.

Crack!

Bang!

The potency of Primordial Spirit Perfection, like a mirror, shattered on the spot.

Then, before the Baldie could react, a hand had gripped his neck.

The massive shock made him stiffen.

Then the feeling of weightlessness came in an instant.

An inexplicable suffocation made him astounded.

An unbearable force transmitted from his neck, causing him horror.

The sensation of death was just inches away.

Just like that, the once haughty Baldie was suddenly picked up and held like a little chick.

Gu An looked at him and said expressionlessly, "Is this a jailbreak?"

"I don’t know, maybe," Zhang San answered indifferently.

"Then kill him?" Gu An asked.

Upon hearing this, the Baldie was terrified, especially feeling the other party beginning to exert force.

As if to truly kill him.

The desire to live made him grind his teeth and say, "Misunderstanding, it’s a misunderstanding, I, I am the person in charge here, fellow daoist has misunderstood, I am willing to apologize."

Hearing this, Gu An looked at him and said, "So it’s a misunderstanding."

"Yes, it’s a misunderstanding," the Baldie immediately said.

However, Gu An looked at him, without saying a word for a long time.

Zhang San also made no move.

The Baldie, sensing their attitude, unsealed his Storage Treasure and handed it over.

Chen Changfeng pointed to the ground.

Knowing what was expected, Baldie threw the object onto the ground.

Only then did Chen Changfeng pick up the Storage Treasure and say, "I found this, it’s not fellow daoist’s, right?"

"No, it’s not," the Baldie’s face turned red due to the choked neck, shaking his head.

"Then it belongs to our director," Chen Changfeng handed the item to Gu An, "Director, did you drop your stuff again? You should take better care of it."

Gu An looked at him silently.

He suddenly thought of what Chu Meng had said.

Some people are just too eager to progress.

Gu An took the Storage Treasure, retrieved three thousand Spirit Stones, and then threw the Storage Treasure back to the other party.

He was not a bad person; there was no need to offend someone to death.

Taking everything would make one desperate.

But not taking anything might not be remembered.

However, three thousand—one thousand to Zhang San and one thousand to Chen Changfeng.

Although the price had been agreed upon earlier, in order to make them work better, he should still provide what was due.

After all, it was thanks to their power that he picked up the Spirit Stones.

Receiving a thousand Spirit Stones already counted as a win for himself.

As for offending these people.

Even if he had come alone, he would still have to offend them.

No difference.

There was no need to take all the advantages for himself.

After letting Zhang San put the person down, Gu An looked at him and said, "Since it’s a misunderstanding, may I continue with my questions?"

"Of course, naturally," the relieved Baldie immediately answered.

His heart was somewhat frustrated; why had no one mentioned that this Golden Core had a Returning to Void Expert at his side?

Knowing there was a Returning to Void Expert, even with a hundred times the courage, he wouldn’t have dared to be so brazen.

He wouldn’t dare to trouble or hardly dare to trouble at all.

Losing three thousand Spirit Stones made him extremely angry.

But he dared not show it.

He just couldn’t fathom why a Returning to Void Expert would be with someone in the Golden Core Middle Stage, and even seem to be taking orders.

Gu An then turned his gaze to the Iron Wood Blade and asked, "When did you notice your stuff was missing?"

The storm of power from before made Iron Wood Blade much more lucid.

He looked at Gu An with difficulty and said intermittently, "Originally, I was supposed to seal it for safety, I checked one by one.

When I checked the ancient zither, I found out that something was missing.

They said I stole it."

"Were the treasures unguarded?" Gu An asked.

"There was, there was someone guarding," Iron Wood Blade answered.

"Who was guarding?" Gu An asked.

"I, I don’t know," Iron Wood Blade shook his head.

He was just a conscientious person, oblivious to everything around him.

Gu An turned his head to look at the Baldie and calmly said,

"Senior, the treasures were guarded, right?"

"There was a guard, but the guard didn’t take it, so naturally, the person who entered is the most suspicious," the Baldie spoke up.
