The leader of the Undead Race bellowed at Gu Chaoyan with a burst of excitement.

Being well-acquainted with Xuhai City, he swiftly pinpointed the array’s core location, making earnest contributions to the mission rather than being a hindrance.

Gu Chaoyan, amidst her attempts to repel the Undead Race using the Phoenix Fire, turned to acknowledge the Undead Race leader, signifying that he should take charge of this task.

In response, the Undead Race leader offered her an a.s.suring glance and proceeded towards the array’s core.

In that very moment, Gu Chaoyan, in her endeavor to not only ward off the Undead Race controlled by Pei Yueling but also to incinerate them with the searing power of the phoenix, pressed on.

The phoenix’s flames elicited painful cries from many of the Undead Race, and those fortunate enough to remain unharmed hesitated to advance.

The Undead Race leader, resolute in his mission, obliterated the array’s core.

At this juncture, Gu Chaoyan had no intention of further engaging with the

Undead Race. Instead, she shouted with fervor, “Escape!”

Upon hearing her command, the disciples comprehended the situation and began making their way out of Xuhai City.

Over a thousand disciples remained, and it would take some time for all of them to evacuate. During this period, Gu Chaoyan would focus on dismantling Pei Yueling’s Undead Race forces.

Initially hesitant, the Undead Race leader eventually joined the effort.

These Undead Races were not true representatives of their kind. They lacked the consciousness that true Undead Race beings possessed, as they were mere puppets under Pei Yueling’s control. If left unchecked, they would only sow discord and potentially lead to misunderstandings among the genuine ancient Undead Race.

For instance, the conflict with the human race had been instigated by these manipulated beings, dragging the authentic ancient Undead Race into the turmoil as well.

Upon learning of the situation, the Head of the Undead Race showed no mercy, immediately launching an onslaught against the Undead Race.

Amidst the fierce combat, Gu Chaoyan reached out to him, urging, “Just withdraw.”

Despite his initial inclination to annihilate the remaining hundred or so Undead Race members, the Head of the Undead Race hesitated.

“I can’t predict when Pei Yueling will return. While it’s regrettable that we haven’t wiped out the Undead Race completely, it’s not worth risking a confrontation with Pei Yueling alone. These Undead Race members are still immature, and we can handle them. However, we’re no match for Pei Yueling,” Gu Chaoyan persuasively argued.

There were pivotal decisions to be made, and learning to make the right ones ensured they weren’t at a disadvantage—a lesson they were currently living.

Though the Head of the Undead Race wore a regretful expression, he relented upon hearing Gu Chaoyan’s words.

He followed Gu Chaoyan as they hastily made their way toward Xuhai City’s gates, escaping the clutches of the Undead Race.

Meanwhile, the trapped Undead Race remained confined within.

The disciples anxiously awaited Gu Chaoyan’s return. As they saw her emerge, an elder from the school inquired, “What about the disciples’ remains? It appears that Pei Yueling intends to use them for her sinister purposes.” The lifeless bodies…

For Pei Yueling, they represented a significant opportunity for skill enhancement and the creation of more Undead Race minions.

Leaving this matter unattended would be catastrophic.

Yet…

If that were the chosen path…
