Chapter 241: Protect Till Death

Looking at Li Ya, who was full of fighting spirit, An Hao was indifferent. If it was before, he might have been looking forward to fighting with Li Ya, but now he only had the junior brother he had never met in his heart.

Li Ya has the immortal treasure, and he is no longer the same as before. An Hao naturally does not think that he is Li Ya's opponent.

But apart from the immortal treasure, An Hao really does not think that Li Ya is qualified to be his opponent.

Li Ya thought he was afraid of fighting, so he said: "Don't worry, I won't use that treasure when fighting with you, but if it is for others, then I will not show mercy, just to show the prestige of my Taixuan Sect."

Zhang Buku stood by and snorted: "I don't mind you using that treasure, just right, I also want to try its sharpness."

An Hao looked at Zhang Buku. He had met Zhang Buku before. At that time, Zhang Buku and Li Ya were inseparable, but the two sides had not yet met.

He was very interested in Zhang Buku. He could feel that Zhang Buku's blood was extremely powerful. In terms of real strength, he must be stronger than Li Ya.

"What's your name?" An Hao stared at Zhang Buku and asked.

Zhang Buku replied, "My name is Zhang Buku, and I'm Li Ya's brother."

Li Ya's mouth twitched, but he didn't refute.

An Hao nodded, then turned away without saying anything more.

Li Ya became interested, stepped forward, and said, "The three of us are all from Taixuan Sect, and we are the same batch of Xinghai Group Sect. In the future, no matter whether we win or lose, how about helping each other?"

An Hao nodded without refutation.

In his heart, Taixuan Sect still has a very high status, and it is natural for him to help his fellow sect members.

Li Ya and Zhang Buku stepped forward and stayed beside An Hao, and started chatting about their previous experiences. An Hao didn't care at first, but he was attracted by their experiences as he listened.

Are these two so belligerent?

Zhang Buku and Li Ya soon quarreled, blaming each other, and An Hao suddenly envied them a little. No matter where they go, they can be together and rely on each other.

An Hao thought of his junior sister An Xin, and couldn't help but sigh.

Even he felt that the heaven was unfair.

…

When Li Ya and the other two were wandering in the Xinghai Sect, Gu An and his disciples in Taixuan Sect lived the same life for ten years.

Ten years passed in a flash.

Gu An was 139 years old. In the summer of this year, the Tianbang Conference held by Taixuan Sect was about to begin, and Taixuan Sect fell into unprecedented prosperity.

In the attic of the Third Medicine Valley.

Gu An looked at his attribute panel and was secretly satisfied with his lifespan restored to eight million years.

When he broke through to Xiaoyao Yuanxian, it took him nearly a million years of life to build the lifespan barrier. In ten years, he increased his lifespan by more than four million years, which was not bad and very stable.

Next, Gu An planned to strive for a lifespan of 100 million years. At that time, he would first improve the attribute panel in all aspects and then break through to a higher realm.

Although it took ten years to increase his lifespan by four million years, and 100 million years seemed out of reach, Gu An was not panicked. He still had a trump card, which was the worldly cave.

The seventh-level medicinal herbs in the cave outside the world can't mature in decades, and every month, Gu An will bring high-level seeds.

Gu An is now thinking about collecting immortal spiritual trees.

Last year, the immortal spiritual tree appeared in the private auction held by Tang Hai Zhenren, but the price was hyped up to a sky-high price. Gu An, who has been buying high-level medicinal herbs for many years, couldn't get the spiritual tree. The other party was a great monk from the Xinghai Group, with a strong background and amazing financial resources.

Gu An didn't rob just for a spiritual tree. There was no need to make enemies. The immortal spiritual tree couldn't make him gain millions of years of life at one time. What's more, Taixuan Sect and Xinghai Group are on good terms, and his disciple An Hao is also staying in Xinghai Group.

There will be opportunities in the future!

Taking advantage of this Tianbang Conference, Gu An just made money, and he himself was looking forward to the excitement that followed.

He stood up and prepared to go to Xuan Valley because an acquaintance had returned.

After going downstairs, Gu An called Yang Jian and rode the Blood Prison Great Sage to Xuan Valley.

The disciples of Xuangu have seen the Blood Prison Great Sage and Yang Jian over the years, and they all know their relationship with Gu An.

Gu An did not go upstairs, but began to inspect the park in the valley, and Yang Jian and the Blood Prison Great Sage followed.

Ten years later, the 32-year-old Yang Jian has already reached the second level of the Jindan Realm. At this age and with such a cultivation level, he is already the top cultivation talent in the world. However, considering that the 20-year-old Yang Jian is only at the third level of the Qi Training Realm, his talent is even more difficult to estimate.

Yang Jian still hides his cultivation level, and his surface cultivation level is only the seventh level of the Qi Training Realm.

Yang Jian, who practices the All Things Form Qi Jue and the Heaven and Earth Qiankun Xiantian Gong, has extremely strong blood and qi. Gu An judges that even the Yuanying Realm cultivators cannot withstand his strength.

Under Gu An's guidance, Yang Jian has become more calm, not arrogant or impatient, and has the demeanor of a senior disciple.

"I heard that the Taoist master of the Cangtian Sect has arrived." Yang Jian chatted with the Blood Prison Great Sage about the Tianbang Conference.

The Blood Prison Great Sage was also very interested in this. The two only talked about others and not about their own cultivation. This was a habit developed under Gu An's long-term instructions.

After a while.

A figure flew from the horizon, it was Li Ya.

Yang Jian turned his head and looked at him, with curiosity in his eyes.

What a strong breath!

Li Ya came on a sword, like an immortal, descending from the sky.

After he put away his sword, he quickly came to the edge of the park and greeted Gu An.

Gu An smiled and said, "Brother Li, why are you here? Wait for me for a while."

Li Ya nodded, and his eyes couldn't help but look at Yang Jian.

Although Yang Jian's cultivation was low, his temperament was extraordinary.

"What is the relationship between this person and Junior Brother Gu?" Li Ya thought to himself.

After a while, Gu An handed the herbs to a errand disciple, and then took Yang Jian to Li Ya.

He introduced Yang Jian to Li Ya and asked Yang Jian to say hello.

"Yang Jian meets Uncle Master." Yang Jian said with a fist, neither humble nor arrogant. Although Li Ya's aura was very strong for him, Li Ya was far from being comparable to Gu An. If Gu An did not hide his cultivation, the two would not be able to become brothers.

Li Ya asked curiously, "But Yang Jian in the Investiture of the Gods?"

Yang Jian nodded and said, "I have liked watching the Investiture of the Gods since I was a child. After entering the sect, I changed my name to Mingzhi."

Li Ya smiled, then took out a sword from the storage bag and gave it to Yang Jian.

Yang Jian looked at Gu An, and only accepted it when he saw Gu An nod.

Li Ya pulled Gu An to the attic, and Gu An asked Yang Jian to follow, which made Li Ya hesitate.

"Jian'er is my real disciple. I will teach him everything I know. Let him follow me and learn more." Gu An said with a smile.

Li Ya couldn't help but look at Yang Jian again when he heard this.

He understood what Gu An meant.

"I see. If you run into trouble when you go out in the future, you can find me, your uncle." Li Ya said with a high-spirited smile, and Yang Jian hurriedly thanked him.

Gu An thought it was funny that Li Ya guessed his idea, but it was a pity that the relationship was reversed.

He was not helping Yang Jian find a backer, but helping Li Ya find one!

After the three of them went upstairs, Li Ya began to talk about his experience in the Xinghai Group Sect. He has now become a true disciple of the Xinghai Group Sect, but his cultivation is the lowest among the true disciples, and he relies on the Shenyi City.

Although Yang Jian entered late, he had heard of the name of the Shenyi City.

He didn't expect that the Taixuan Sect monk who won the Shenyi City decades ago was actually his uncle.

He suddenly suspected that Li Ya was able to seize the Shenyi City because of his master's help.

"By the way, I heard that there was an assessment within the Xinghai Group. Did you participate?" Gu An suddenly asked.

Li Ya's face suddenly became unnatural, and he said: "I participated, and my ranking was good. I broke into the top 100. I became a true disciple by my real strength."

Gu An didn't believe it. Li Ya had used the power of Shenyi City a lot in these years.

"I heard that An Hao also participated. How is his ranking?" Gu An asked.

Li Ya's face became more embarrassed.

Yang Jian's eyes lit up and asked: "Master, are you talking about An Hao, the first genius of Taixuan Sect?"

"Yes, it's him."

Yang Jian fell into thought.

Li Ya said ambiguously: "His ranking is also good. If I don't use Shenyi City, I am indeed not as good as him."

Gu An asked curiously: "What do you mean? Did you meet again?"

Li Ya was depressed. Junior Brother Gu did it on purpose?

Embarrass me in front of the younger generation?

He did run into An Hao. He relied on the Shenyi City to suppress many great monks. When facing An Hao, he did not use the Shenyi City for fairness, and ended up losing miserably. This incident was widely circulated in the Xinghai group of sects. An Hao stepped on him and became famous in the sect, which made him very depressed.

Although depressed, he did not regret it. An Hao has always been his goal, and he also wanted to know how far his real strength was from An Hao.

Gu An was happy. He felt a sense of satisfaction when he knew that Li Ya was defeated by his apprentice.

Alas, this kind of mentality is not good!

Gu An changed the subject and talked about the Tianbang Conference.

Li Ya said that the reason he came back was because Taixuanmen sent a message to ask him to come back. Taixuanmen needed the power of his Shenyi City to deal with the great monks from overseas.

After all, it was the first Tianbang Conference held by Taixuanmen. Lu Baitian still hoped to keep the first place in the world, even if the opponent was a monk from the holy land or a great monk from overseas.

Gu An felt that Lv Baitian was not a martial artist, but it was not easy to criticize him. Magical weapons were part of a cultivator's strength. Who else, except Gu An, could fight immortals without magic weapons?

"Brother Li, what do you think of my disciple? Five hundred years later, I will let him participate in the Heavenly Ranking Conference. Maybe he will meet you at that time." Gu An said with a smile.

Li Ya glanced at Yang Jian and said, "Your cultivation is a bit low. If you want to compete for the first place in the world, you still need a great opportunity."

Yang Jian did not say anything and stood aside honestly.

Gu An smiled and said, "Anyway, I think my disciple has great luck and will definitely be famous in the world in the future. Although I don't know if I can see this day, I hope that you can support each other and advance and retreat together on the road of cultivation. After all, it is not enough to rely on yourself on the road of cultivation."

These words made Li Ya sad.

He knew that Junior Brother Gu's qualifications were mediocre and he would definitely not be able to compete for immortality like him.

Li Ya said seriously: "Don't worry, your disciple is my disciple. As long as I am alive, I will protect him to the death. Whoever dares to harm him must step over my dead body first."

Yang Jian looked at Li Ya, and his eyes changed.

Update starts!
