Gu Chaovan and the others set out alongside the Elder Men.
However, the Head of the Undead Race had different plans. He contemplated making a discreet escape, fully aware that the impending battle could spell doom for him if he didn’t slip away unnoticed.
As he took a few cautious steps, Gu Chaoyan intervened, pulling him back gently. “Where are you going?”
The Head of the Undead Race let out a sly chuckle and winked at Gu Chaoyan. “You may be willing to risk your life, but I’ve just survived a perilous ordeal, and I value my existence. I won’t willingly march into danger.”
Gu Chaoyan, her voice hushed, tried to persuade him. “The mystic realm holds countless treasures. If we can secure even a few of them, your recovery is practically guaranteed. Without your support, I can’t ensure the safety of the Supreme Sect and the mystic realm. These treasures are the key. Won’t you reconsider? We’re all taking a risk here.”
The Head of the Undead Race found himself taken aback. How had things turned out this way? He realized that Gu Chaoyan had been safeguarding the mystic realm for a reason; she wouldn’t have taken such a stance without good cause.
Could there truly be valuable treasures hidden within the mystic realm? If that were the case, it wouldn’t be in his best interest to escape outright.
Gu Chaoyan sealed the deal. “You can have the lion’s share of the mystic realm’s treasures.”
“Deal!” The Head of the Undead Race agreed without hesitation. He decided to stick with the group, giving him a chance to win the gamble. If things went south, he could always make a hasty escape or feign his demise.
With newfound determination, the Head of the Undead Race ceased his escape attempt and followed Gu Chaoyan peacefully.
As they strolled along, they noticed that the day had suddenly grown darker.
Gu Chaoyan raised her gaze and was taken aback.
Previously, there had been only a small magical creature perched atop the school, but now, there was an additional colossal dragon, a long-standing presence. Comparing the enormous dragon in the sky to the small, loach-like dragon in her arms, the contrast was stark and unsettling.
The members of the Supreme Sect seemed to sense an impending catastrophe, their expressions grim.
The Elder Men sighed deeply.
Gu Chaoyan gently shook the Dragonman in her arms, urging it to look up into the sky.
When the Dragonman followed her gaze and spotted the colossal dragon, its eyes widened.
Before she could fully comprehend the situation, Gu Chaoyan questioned urgently, “What are the odds of winning?”
The little dragon responded indignantly, “Are you insane?! Just look at its size compared to me! I can tell at a glance that I stand no chance against it! How can you even ask about winning odds? There are none! Hand over the jewelry my father left me, and I’ll make a quick escape. I refuse to perish alongside a fool like you. That giant dragon could send me flying with a mere swipe!” The Dragonman declared confidently.
Gu Chaoyan was left speechless.
It seemed everyone…
Everyone wanted to escape.
Including the two before her.
Why was she surrounded by a group of would-be fugitives?
“That’s out of the question. Follow my lead, and don’t even think about running away,” Gu Chaoyan rejected the idea outright, placed the Dragonman back in her arms, and continued following the Elder Men.
As they ascended into the sky using Sword Kinesis Flight..
Members of the Grand Unity Sect were also present.
Among them was Pei Yueling, the daughter of the Grand Unity Sect’s leader, accompanied by numerous Paragons and Martial Immortals.
Pei Yueling expressed her surprise upon spotting Gu Chaoyan.. “You again?”
