Chapter 2536: Obtaining Spiritual Root 2

In the meantime…

The witches had also arrived.

Gu Chaoyan directed her gaze towards the door, curious to witness the appearance of a witch. Why would they protect someone like Pei Yueling?

Her surprise was palpable when she saw the face.

It was him!

It was truly him!

Initially thinking she had erred in her perception, she never expected to see him here. He was the sorcerer from the uncivilized world. Why was he present, and why was he affiliated with the Third World?

The sorcerer, too, was taken aback upon spotting Gu Chaoyan.

Neither revealed their astonishment on their faces.

Seating himself, the sorcerer maintained composure.

The witches awaited his decision.

With a distressed expression, Pei Yueling pleaded with the sorcerer, “Sorcerer, you can’t hand me over to her. She’ll end my life!”

“You’re a witch from the Third World. Why obey her commands? If you seek someone, find them directly.”

“Miss Yueling,” the sorcerer’s voice resonated, composed and refined.

Pei Yueling breathed a sigh of relief.

She had already sensed that this sorcerer wasn’t the type to act impulsively.

Fortunately, her judgment proved accurate.

“This matter is of great importance, and I had to come personally to clarify things,” the sorcerer explained.

Pei Yueling nodded in compliance, acknowledging her initial understanding of the sorcerer’s character.

“Miss Yueling, I’ve already located the person I was seeking,” the sorcerer declared calmly. “It’s here.”

Perplexed, Pei Yueling scanned the surroundings.

‘Here?’ Who could that be?

“Do you recall the promise you made to me, Miss Yueling?” the sorcerer inquired. “You pledged that, in exchange for my healing, you would relinquish your life to me.”

“I’ve already tended to your injuries. Are you prepared to fulfill your promise now?”

“As she desires you, please go to her.” He smiled gracefully at Pei Yueling, his demeanor unwavering.

Pei Yueling listened attentively, attempting to decipher the underlying message.

Was he instructing her to submit herself to Gu Chaoyan?

Suddenly, Pei Yueling felt a pang of regret. She had misjudged the situation. Even if she had been injured and sought refuge, she could have hidden for a while. Lacking an escape talisman was inconsequential; opportunities would arise.

Her mistake lay in coveting the protection of the witches. It was precisely this desire for safety that led to the subsequent events.

Regarding this sorcerer, he appeared to possess a pleasant temperament, exuding refinement and reasonableness. However, in reality, he was the most formidable individual, his aura emanating from an icy coldness and a lack of compa.s.sion.

Pei Yueling had sought to manipulate him, using her entire being to sway his decision and secure the protection of the witches.

However…

The sorcerer had truly acquiesced based on the conditions she had stipulated, and he seemed resolute about invoking these terms.

Pei Yueling shook her head, her complexion extremely pallid, and her eyes dimmed with despair.

She recognized the futility of evasion.

Without any remaining escape talismans to ensure her safety, trapped within the ancient city of the Demon Clan the realm of Gu Chaoyan, with the witches aiding her—escape was an impossible feat.

“No… It’s not like that. I only pledged my life to you, not to her!” Pei Yueling argued desperately.
