He was the most wretched of them all.
While the two of them faced the prospect of death in the event of a mishap, his circ.u.mstances were distinct. As a member of the Undead Race, he possessed the ability to be resurrected. He was destined to endure the same agonizing cycle repeatedly in this dreadful place.
The entire situation filled him with dread.
Gu Chaoyan and Di Hongyun remained oblivious to the extent of the Head of the Undead Race’s foresight as they continued to advance peacefully.
They had just arrived in yet another town when Gu Chaoyan suddenly heard a sound, startling her.
The three of them readied themselves to react.
At that very moment, several disciples from various sects materialized, evidently preparing to take action as well.
Both sides breathed sighs of relief upon realizing that they were all humans.
Gu Chaoyan and her companions were on edge, but the other group of disciples appeared to be in a more dire situation. Many of them had lost their weapons, and their clothing bore the marks of battle. It was clear they had been in a skirmish.
Gu Chaoyan had no knowledge of which sect they belonged to; they were clearly from sects other than the Fengyue Sect.
“They are from the Three Pure Ones, a super sect even mightier than the Grand Unity Sect. It’s surprising to see them here in the mystic realm of the Supreme Sect,” Di Hongyun whispered to Gu Chaoyan.
While he didn’t possess extensive information about the Three Pure Ones or other super sects within the Supreme Sect, he had some general knowledge of these influential factions.
In the past, they had never encountered such groups, but the allure of the mystic realm was undeniable.
“A super sect?” Gu Chaoyan took a few steps forward. “We are disciples of the Supreme Sect, and we have encountered a catastrophe in the mystic realm. We’ve discovered that this place is fraught with perilous challenges. If you don’t mind, would you be willing to travel together? We can look out for one another.”
That had always been Gu Chaoyan’s initial plan. Regardless of the school they encountered, she had every intention of forging friends.h.i.+ps.
The members of the Three Pure Ones, however, couldn’t help but exude a hint of arrogance as they overheard the conversation. In their eyes, these three individuals were seeking refuge beneath the protective canopy of the super sect’s disciples. In the past, they might have looked down upon such newcomers.
But circ.u.mstances had taken a dire turn.
They had recently emerged from a life-and-death struggle. Although they were all present now, more than half of the Three Pure Ones’ disciples had entered the mystic realm. Their mission remained unaccomplished, with still a month to go before the mystic realm would reopen. Consequently, they found themselves severely understaffed. If someone voluntarily joined their ranks, they could certainly accept the help. If future misfortune befell them, well, they could all face it together.
With this rationale in mind, the leading disciple of the Three Pure Ones declared, “No problem. Your numbers are limited, but you used to guard the mystic realm, and you possess some knowledge about it. You can guide us on our journey, and we will equitably share any treasures we come across.”
“And once we’re out of the mystic realm, we can remain friends,” the Three Pure Ones disciple added, extending a very favorable offer.
Upon hearing these words, Gu Chaoyan grasped their true intentions.
Di Hongyun, sensing Gu Chaoyan’s reluctance to continue traveling with them, exchanged a knowing glance with her.
Gu Chaoyan responded straightforwardly, “Okay..”
