Chapter 2239 - 2239: Danger 1

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Originally, despite their significant numbers and the presence of an Elderly Man from the Moon Sect, there was a glimmer of hope that they could overcome him as a united force. However, that hope was shattered when he entered a room, consumed a vial of mysterious pills, and underwent a startling transformation. In an instant, his prowess surged to an unparalleled level, rendering any attempts at collaboration futile. Even if they were to band together, they would be unable to withstand even a single blow from him.

Those unfortunate enough to be struck by his newfound magical power found themselves either incapacitated or meeting a grim fate.

Given these dire circ.u.mstances…

The prospect of peris.h.i.+ng within the confines of this place was unbearable.

Despite the uncertainty of obtaining any valuable treasures, their overriding desire was to escape the mystic realm.

The individuals blocking the exit bore expressions of reluctance, yet they persisted in barricading the door, thwarting both the occupants inside and the Elderly Men from the Moon Sect from making their way out.

Gu Chaoyan posed a critical question: “Can this barrier truly impede the Elderly Men from the Moon Sect? Once everyone inside is vanquished, the gate will be unsealed. You will then find yourselves confronted by the Elderly Men from the Moon Sect, or you can opt to retreat, albeit at the risk of facing those formidable stone guardians outside.”

Gu Chaoyan proceeded to reveal the perilous circ.u.mstances that had transpired earlier in their journey.

They had already encountered the formidable stone guardians along their path.

They were well aware of the indomitable might possessed by these statues.

Amidst the hesitancy of the disciples outside, agonizing cries emanated from within the room, as the trapped individuals relentlessly pounded on the door in a desperate bid to escape.

By the sounds of it, Gu Chaoyan estimated that more than a dozen people remained trapped within.

The window of opportunity to utilize their collective abilities was dwindling fast, as the occupants within were slowly being eradicated.

Hence, Gu Chaoyan fervently hoped for a decisive course of action at this juncture.

After a brief moment of contemplation, those obstructing the door relinquished their grip, albeit reluctantly.

With unwavering determination, Gu Chaoyan declared, “Let us charge forth together and subdue the Elderly Man from the Moon Sect!”

Upon her proclamation…

The door swung open.

Inside, a glimmer of hope lit up in the eyes of those trapped, and they surged forward, ready to break free. Yet, Gu Chaoyan’s resounding cry halted their escape: “Let us subdue the Elderly Man from the Moon Sect!”

In that instant, as Gu Chaoyan took the lead, her role as the leader was a natural fit, given her initiative in proposing the plan.

Stepping into the room, Gu Chaoyan immediately discerned that the Elderly

Man from the Moon Sect had ascended to the rank of a Paragon, an unexpected escalation in his power. Typically, elders from sects like the Moon Sect reached the level of a Paragon Martial Saint, but he now stood as a Paragon Martial Emperor, undoubtedly a result of the mysterious pill’s enhancement.

This explained the disciples’ reluctance to confront her.

In the realm of Shenyou Continent, encountering a cultivator with Paragon King-level cultivation was exceedingly rare. In stark contrast, Pei Yueling had embraced heretical, malevolent, and sinister techniques, making her a formidable and easily distinguishable pract.i.tioner. This was evident in the unquestioning obedience she commanded from the schools back in Xuhai City —testament to her profound skill.

However, pondering these matters had to wait. Gu Chaoyan couldn’t rely solely on her spiritual energy to engage her adversary. Instead, she employed her unique cultivation techniques, augmented by the power of her inheritance, which granted her remarkable speed. When the Elderly Man from the Moon Sect launched his attacks, Gu Chaoyan adeptly evaded every one of them.

This tactic irked the Elderly Man from the Moon Sect considerably. Rather than dispersing his a.s.saults among others, he remained fixated on Gu Chaoyan, ensuring they couldn’t draw near to each other within the room..
