He refused to leave.

And leaving had become an impossible option for him.

He had bungled the entire situation, forfeiting any right to continue in this world. Even if Gu Chaoyan took no action against him, he would be unable to face himself.

In such a dire circ.u.mstance, he decided to take the ultimate risk.

Elder Lin’s gaze fixated on Gu Chaoyan.

He had always admired this man, believing he could be of use to him. Throughout his life, he had never committed an error, but this time, he had faltered.

Elder Lin relentlessly pressed his attack on Gu Chaoyan, declaring, “We won’t cease until one of us falls. Come!”

Gu Chaoyan was taken aback; this was not what she had antic.i.p.ated. Elder Lin had been her protector back at the Supreme Sect, and she never thought events would unfold in this manner.

“Just go ahead. If we don’t resolve this issue promptly, his subordinates will arrive, and we’ll be cornered,” the Head of the Undead Race cautioned.

He had served Gu Chaoyan for an extended period and had gained insight into her character. She was a benevolent soul who valued grat.i.tude, making it difficult for her to act against Elder Lin in this situation. However, their current predicament left them with no other choice.

They needed to escape quickly.

Gu Chaoyan nodded resolutely.

Her grasp tightened around the white jade sword.

She closed her eyes and thrust it toward Elder Lin. In that very moment, Elder Lin’s expression underwent a transformation.

“Just go!” Gu Chaoyan shouted, urging them to depart.

She had not antic.i.p.ated that Elder Lin would resort to such extreme measures.

It was exceedingly rare for pract.i.tioners to crush their inner pills. Once those inner pills were destroyed, the individual would vanish from the continent, leaving no trace behind.

He had undertaken this drastic action with the sole intention of ensuring her demise.

“Why?!” Gu Chaoyan was perplexed about Elder Lin’s motives and who he was working for, as he seemed willing to sacrifice everything.

Sensing the urgency, Gu Chaoyan swiftly departed.

Elder Lin’s inner pills detonated but failed to harm her.

Di Hongyun was equally taken aback.

What was going on?

Elder Lin hailed from the Supreme Sect, so why would he resort to such treachery?

“Elder Lin…”

“He is not truly part of the genuine Supreme Sect,” Gu Chaoyan clarified, “He never has been. In fact, Elder Lin’s behavior had raised suspicions back on Wuyuan Island, and then the incidents in Xuhai City, as well as his insistence on dismantling the array formation, all indicated that he was covertly working for his master. Elder Lin orchestrated the entire series of events, from the opening of the mystic realm to the dissemination of information within the mystic realm.”

“And now, this is his only mistake. He made this mistake because the magical creature is with us.”

“Perhaps I already have a notion of who stands behind him,” Gu Chaoyan stated calmly and confidently.

She then produced a bottle of pills and distributed one to each of them, saying,

“Take one of these pills to conceal your presence. We’ll hide here and await his arrival. He should be here soon.”

Gu Chaoyan promptly organized everything for their plan.

They did not dwell upon Elder Lin’s death.

She had given Elder Lin one chance to repay her grat.i.tude..
