Upon hearing Gu Chaoyan’s menacing words, the Undead Race instinctively covered their mouth with trembling hands, their expression laden with fear as though his words bore real and imminent danger.
Amidst this, a chorus of laughter arose from the disciples of the Supreme Sect, unable to contain their amusement.
This Junior Sister displayed such endearing innocence.
In stark contrast, the Undead Race seemed to exude an excessive timidity. Their fear of their Junior Sister was quite apparent.
This marked the first instance the disciples had encountered someone who lamented the Undead Race’s noise levels being too high.
Nevertheless, the Undead Race covered their mouth and paid no heed to the mockery.
Ironically, they did not dread death, yet the idea of it perturbed them deeply.
“Aren’t the Undead Race meant to be immortal? Yet, here you stand, manifesting more fear of death than any other of your kind, ” Gu Chaoyan commented derisively, casting a disdainful glance at the Undead Race, his displeasure evident that they allowed fear to hold sway over them.
Curious, the Undead Race inquired, “Have you encountered other Undead Races? Where might they be?” A sense of longing marked their words. Aware that the Undead Race was gradually resurfacing within the intermediate realms, they remained isolated, yearning for companionship and their former might. Finding fellow Undead would bestow them with renewed strength, ultimately liberating them from external control.
“No,” Gu Chaoyan replied without hesitation, leaving the Undead Race to grapple with their resolute resolve.
In the wake of this revelation, a despondent weight settled within the Undead Race’s being.
Ironically, they were the one most plagued by the fear of death.
The bystanders from the Supreme Sect could not suppress their laughter once more, witnessing this exchange.
However…
What lay within the confines of Xuhai City that invoked such vehement resistance from the Undead Race?
“Provide me with one valid reason: Why do you vehemently oppose the idea of going to Xuhai City?” inquired Gu Chaoyan.
“Inside Xuhai City, terror looms large. Venturing there equates to a perilous gamble with one’s life,” uttered the Undead Race, their voice trembling with fear. “Your disciples met their demise within Xuhai City. Having just awoken from my slumber, my cultivation pales in comparison to yours. Should you confront danger in Xuhai City, my presence there would undoubtedly result in my demise. Hence, I steadfastly decline the proposition. I beseech you to heed my counsel and retreat to our sect – it’s a safer recourse. I must seek out a suitable sanctuary to conceal myself.”
“Every disciple from the Supreme Sect met their end in Xuhai City?” queried Gu Chaoyan.
“Indubitably.”
“In that case, Xuhai City is precisely where we must venture.”
Upon hearing this, the buoyant disposition of the Undead Race waned dramatically.
They had spun their narrative in an attempt to deter any expedition to Xuhai City, instilling trepidation within the group.
However, circumstances had now shifted…
This woman was unequivocally resolute, hell-bent on proceeding despite the apparent hazards!
Rendered utterly speechless, the Undead Race mused on the irrationality of human women, a stark contrast to their Undead counterparts who could be easily beguiled.
“Lead the way.”
“I refuse.
“Should you persist in this refusal, I shall eliminate you on the spot – a preemptive measure against any impending perils within Xuhai City,” declared Gu Chaoyan as she lifted her white jade sword, channeling the potent energy of her inheritance.
“I’ve embellished the truth. I am merely offering guidance. I will navigate you there,” the Undead Race discerned the ominous air and spoke with urgency.
He kept cursing Gu Chaoyan inwardly.
What was she thinking? Why did she have to go to Xuhai City?
The Undead Race had no choice but lead the way.
They continued to head towards Xuhai City.
The real Xuhai City was the same as the one they saw in the illusion..
