BXBX NOVEL Chapter 2153 - 2153: Inquiry 2
“Given the deliberate nature of the act, our best course of action is to depart promptly. Moreover, the discovery of the Supreme Sect disciples signifies the fulfillment of our mission. In light of these circumstances, it is prudent to expedite our departure.”
“I had not anticipated my premonition becoming a reality. This act was deliberate,” Gu Chaoyan spoke earnestly. “Yet, there is a puzzling aspect. While en route here, we encountered the Moon Sect disciples who entered an illusion, and we once again came across their distinctive attire. Strangely, we encountered no further trace of the Moon Sect disciples. Could they have met their demise? If that’s the case, it’s possible that numerous disciples from various sects suffered a similar fate in Xuhai City.”
So voiced Gu Chaoyan.
The Supreme Sect had already taken this scenario into account.
Apart from the less intelligent demonic beasts, the witches, humans, demonic beast races, and the Undead Race coexisted without causing strife among themselves.
The Grand Unity Sect had previously encountered issues with the Undead Race.
At most, the Undead Race posed sporadic problems for the Grand Unity Sect.
The humans desired no conflict with the Undead Race.
Despite the Supreme Sect having incurred the wrath of the Undead Race, they were still reluctant to engage further.
As for the recent events in Xuhai City, the Supreme Sect intended to monitor closely.
Yet, engaging the Undead Race alone was not the Supreme Sect’s intention.
Hence…
Collaboration among several sects became necessary.
Gu Chaoyan’s remarks concerning the Moon Sect and other sects provided the Supreme Sect with potential avenues to explore.
If the disciples of all the sects are in jeopardy, then it stands to reason that the consideration should extend to all the sects, correct?
“The sect’s leadership is already addressing this matter. A competition among the sects is imminent. Following the competition, discussions will commence regarding the approach to be taken against the Undead Race,” Elder Lin stated candidly.
Gu Chaoyan offered a nod in acknowledgment.
No further words were exchanged.
A sect disciple possessed no standing to voice opinions on sect affairs.
Despite the mishaps that had befallen these disciples, they had all been safely retrieved. By all accounts, the mission should be deemed accomplished. Gu Chaoyan could return, engage in cultivation, and await the opening of the mystic realm.
Feeling a sense of relief, Gu Chaoyan sighed inwardly and remained silent.
“Chaoyan, your familiarity with the Undead Race makes you an ideal candidate for this competition. Your insights on the Undead Race could prove invaluable, ” Elder Lin pointed out.
A faint spasm coursed through Gu Chaoyan’s features.
Her countenance betrayed a fleeting expression of resignation. “My knowledge about the Undead Race is rather limited.”
“Chaoyan, you have the capability,” Elder Lin affirmed resolutely, “That’s the arrangement.”
Gu Chaoyan managed a somewhat sardonic smile.
Why did such situations always entangle newcomers like her?
What relevance did it hold for her?
Speechless, Gu Chaoyan grappled with her emotions.
Unaware of any karmic debt from a past life, she found herself facing vexations in her current one, often involving Elder Lin.
“I have commitments in the mystic realm, and I fear I won’t be able to contribute significantly to matters concerning the Undead Race,” Gu Chaoyan politely declined.
Speaking of the mystic realm…
Elder Lin’s face changed.
“Come with me, I will speak with you personally.” Elder Lin said and walked into the inner room.
Gu Chaoyan felt a little embarrassed. Did something happen in the mystic realm?
“Elder Lin.”
“I have one thing to tell you in advance..”
