Chapter 2204: Escape 2
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Time was slipping away, and the most crucial task at hand was preserving the lives of those who remained. This had always been Gu Chaoyan’s steadfast belief.
“None of us can stand against Pei Yueling. It seems she’s focused on someone else for now, granting us a window to escape. There are too many deceased disciples’ bodies here for us to carry. It’s only a matter of time before Pei
Yueling returns. We must return to the school promptly and disclose the truth about the situation in Xuhai City.”
“Furthermore…”
“…,” a hesitant murmur.
“We’ve uncovered Pei Yueling’s secret, and we’ve glimpsed the true malevolence of the Grand Unity Sect. If we rush back now, we might bring calamity upon the sect, and Pei Yueling and the Grand Unity Sect might pursue us relentlessly.”
‘ more contemplative silence.
“When you return to the sect, exercise extreme caution and devise a plan without delay.”
Gu Chaoyan’s words illuminated the minds of everyone present.
It made sense!
Pei Yueling had initially intended to silence them to ensure that today’s events remained hidden. However, circumstances had shifted. They had managed to escape, and when they did, word would spread to all the major sects.
How long could the Grand Unity Sect protect them?
For a moment, they were torn, uncertain whether returning home was the right choice. Going back could indeed bring dire consequences to their school!
“Is there any alternative, perhaps avoiding a return to the school?” Elder Man subconsciously inquired of Gu Chaoyan, as if she were their guiding force. It was thanks to her that they had managed to break free from the clutches of the school.
“Even if Pei Yueling doesn’t return to the school, it’s only a matter of time before she takes action against your school. She’s already manipulating the school’s disciples, and what transpired in Xuhai City will repeat itself. By the third occurrence, it will become exceedingly challenging for her to target your school,” Gu Chaoyan stated bluntly.
Pei Yueling had already laid such plans in motion.
There was no evading it.
That was the unfortunate reality they faced.
“The top priority now is to return to our respective sects and divulge the truth. Together, we can devise a strategy to confront the Grand Unity Sect,” Gu Chaoyan added cautiously.
With that said…
She had no desire to linger here any longer, so she urged them to depart.
Their concern was that Pei Yueling could reappear at any moment, and by then, those remaining would be in grave danger.
Disciples from the major sects were flying back to their respective sects using Sword Kinesis Flight.
In Xuhai City, chaos reigned, and many disciples from the major sects had perished. The majority hailed from the Fengyun Sect, with only a few belonging to the Supreme Sect.
There were now less than 100 scattered survivors.
Elder Lin had also vanished.
Gu Chaoyan had no information on the situation, and she could only wait until she returned to the school.
Upon their arrival at the Supreme Sect, they were greeted by a sect member.
Observing only 100 individuals returning, she was taken aback. “What happened?”
“Let’s return to the school first,” Gu Chaoyan replied.
As they passed by the Array Sect, Gu Chaoyan didn’t take the lead. Instead, she lagged behind. She hadn’t had the chance earlier, but now she intended to find Yan Wuji. He was an outer sect disciple who had accompanied her to Xuhai City.
She had left Yan Wuji many things, and as long as he used them, he would be fine.
But as she looked about…
Gu Chaoyan did not see Yan Wuji.
Something happened to him?
But Zhuo Yuanbai flashed past her, all of a sudden..
