Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“I am here for something,” Gu Chaoyan declared.
The men from the Yan Family remained silent, patiently waiting for Gu
Chaoyan to continue.
Gu Chaoyan’s face twisted with distress, rendering her speechless. She skillfully redirected the conversation, stating, “I’m uncertain if you are familiar with the Undead Race, but recently, many pa.s.sing disciples have fallen victim to their attacks.”
“Both inner sect and outer sect disciples have been dispatched to Xuhai City for a specific mission,” she continued.
“Elder Brother Wuji,” Gu Chaoyan turned her attention to one of the outer sect disciples, “you are among those chosen for this mission.”
“Regrettably, some of the supplies I had prepared for Elder Brother Wuji were stolen by Zhuo Yuanbai. While Zhuo Yuanbai returned unscathed from the mission in Xuhai City, Elder Brother Wuji…”
As Gu Chaoyan spoke these words, a loud clatter echoed in the room as Madame Yan lost her grip on her cup, which shattered upon impact.
Gu Chaoyan didn’t explicitly state it, but her message was crystal clear:
something had happened to Yan Wuji.
Yan Shuang and Zhao Yiqiu exchanged worried glances.
“Is he… did he manage to survive?” Yan Shuang asked, her voice trembling.
Gu Chaoyan shook her head, implying the grim reality.
Xuhai City had become an intricate web of complications.
She chose not to reveal the deeper conflicts involving the major sects and the Grand Unity Sect, leaving her explanation at that.
“Zhuo Yuanbai!” Madame Yan’s voice dripped with venomous hatred. Wuji should have had a chance at survival, but he fell victim to a frame-up orchestrated by his fellow students—a fact that Madame Yan found utterly intolerable.
She, along with the entire Yan Family and the Old Master, had prepared for a visit to the sect. The sect would undoubtedly offer support to the Yan Family, expecting their loyalty in return. If Wuji had met his end during a mission, they could have reluctantly accepted it. However, the blame rested squarely on Zhuo Yuanbai’s shoulders, a bitter truth that Madame Yan simply could not bear.
“T’ve already taken Zhuo Yuanbai’s life, and I’m here to ensure he pays the
price,” Gu Chaoyan stated firmly.
“I’m going with you,” Madame Yan declared, her resolve unwavering. “I had braced myself for the possibility of something happening to Wuji when he joined the sect. But when it’s like this, I can’t simply let it go. I need to personally eliminate the Zhuo Family to find closure.”
Gu Chaoyan nodded in agreement, taken aback by Madame Yan’s strength. Madame Yan’s determination far exceeded her expectations.
Together, they would seek vengeance against the Zhuo Family.
“Let’s proceed,” Gu Chaoyan said, activating Sword Kinesis Flight and inviting Madame Yan to join her.
Though she had not initially intended to use Sword Kinesis Flight during their time in the Shenyou Dynasty, Gu Chaoyan believed it would be more efficient now, especially considering Madame Yan’s pregnancy. Madame Yan strapped on the sword, determined and ready.
They set off toward the Zhuo Family.
Meanwhile, at the Zhuo Family’s residence, the family members had gathered together under Madame Zhuo’s summoning after her return from the banquet.
The Zhuo Family and the Yan Family were longstanding adversaries, their enmity dating back to the incident at Star Moon Pavilion.
Moreover, there was a deep-seated mutual antipathy between the two clans.
Initially, the Zhuo Family had remained unperturbed by their rivalry. However, an unexpected twist occurred when an inner sect disciple emerged seemingly out of nowhere, disrupting the Zhuo Family’s carefully laid plans.
“Why haven’t you been in touch with your brother?” Madame Zhuo’s voice was laced with frustration. “What’s wrong with him? Why didn’t he inform us about the Yan Family’s inner sect disciple? I wonder when this Yan Family disciple plans to join the inner sect..”
