Gu Chaoyan erupted in laughter, gazing at him with a derisive mirth, as if she had found something profoundly amusing. Her laughter brimmed with contempt.
“Treachery!” someone bellowed, and a group gave chase to Gu Chaoyan, while a few individuals remained to tend to Xu Yongnian.
Xu Yongnian’s visage bore the marks of his injuries, and he was incapacitated, unable to rise.
“Yongnian, it’s not easy to have such a headstrong sister. I fear she may not have much time left. Wouldn’t it be better to marry obediently?” someone remarked, with a touch of sympathy.
Over the past few years…
There had been a plethora of women like her.
Their own family included one as well.
Initially, they were all resistant, but eventually, they were coached into peaceful marriages and child-rearing, with any mention of cultivation set aside. Living a secure and content life seemed appealing.
Xu Yongnian shook his head.
He had contemplated doing the same.
However, he hadn’t antic.i.p.ated his sister’s audacity.
The Xu family likely couldn’t s.h.i.+eld her any longer.
As Gu Chaoyan continued to flee, she held no remorse for her actions against Xu Yongnian.
Her objective was to prevent these individuals from implicating the Xu family in the future. By making it apparent that the Xu family did not wish to retain Xu Xunnan, they hoped to bring some solace to the Xu family.
Gu Chaoyan dashed towards the location of the intermediate paG.o.da.
In a bold move, she hurled the paG.o.da into the air.
As it ascended, the paG.o.da emitted a radiant, golden light, expanding exponentially until it transformed into a colossal structure. Those who witnessed this spectacle stood in stunned disbelief.
Without hesitation, Gu Chaoyan entered the paG.o.da.
The pursuers made attempts to follow her inside, yet they soon realized they were barred from entry; the paG.o.da remained impervious to their efforts.
Gu Chaoyan stood at the pinnacle of the paG.o.da, gazing at those outside with a triumphant smile. “Weren’t you the ones who accused me of deviating from the sutra and defying the Dao? You believed a woman like me deserved to die. But behold, even the heavens prevent you from attacking me!”
“It is the divine will that numerous women possess the potential for cultivation!” Gu Chaoyan proclaimed.
Amongst the onlookers were several men who endeavored to gain entry, but not only did they fail to penetrate the paG.o.da, they were also repelled by its golden radiance.
“Is this truly fate?” Miss Lin called out from beyond.
Gu Chaoyan nodded in affirmation.
Miss Lin ventured into the paG.o.da and realized she could access it without hindrance.
“It is indeed the will of the heavens!”
The individuals Miss Lin and the governess had arranged also made their way inside. All of them were women.
The paG.o.da was sizeable, capable of accommodating hundreds of women comfortably.
Gradually, an increasing number of women sought to enter.
This place evolved into a sanctuary for the women of Jinwei Land, drawing them in like a magnet. They rushed to the scene.
Miss Lin and the governess wore expressions of delight.
Previously, they had contemplated constructing a refuge in the outskirts should Lady Xu Xunnan fail to find a solution. They had never antic.i.p.ated that Lady Xu Xunnan would unveil such a remarkable paG.o.da.
Its enchantment was beyond imagination.
Upon witnessing this scenario, the men who had pursued Gu Chaoyan from the Cangkong Pavilion grasped that a momentous event was unfolding.
None had foreseen this turn of events.
Initially, they had merely desired to apprehend the Xu family’s woman who had allegedly defied the sutra.
No one could comprehend why such a paG.o.da had materialized seemingly out of thin air.
Could it be that certain occurrences were fated?
For instance, the low-level cultivation bead acquired by the Xu family’s Lady and the paG.o.da that now safeguarded her.
Together with the developments in recent years…
An ever-increasing number of women were being discovered with the potential for cultivation..
