Chapter 2194: Xuhai City 2
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Pei Yueling regarded the members of the major sects with a disdainful gaze, as if she were looking at mere chickens, cowards, and scaredy-cats. Her demeanor exuded arrogance and intimidation, making it clear that she considered them insignificant, like ants in her eyes.
However…
Except for a select few Elder Men and exceptional inner sect disciples, the majority of the other disciples were nothing more than insignificant ants in Pei Yueling’s perspective. They had arrived at their destination, guided by the Grand Unity Sect, and with Pei Yueling overseeing the arrangements, there was no reason for hesitation. They had nothing to fear as long as the disciples of the Grand Unity Sect led the way.
The Elder Men from the major sects swiftly issued orders to head directly to Xuhai City, a command the Supreme Sect followed obediently, rushing towards their destination with their disciples in tow. In a matter of moments, disciples from various schools descended upon Xuhai City.
The previously quiet and desolate Xuhai City suddenly felt bustling with activity. It was common knowledge that the Undead Race had a different way of life compared to their practicing counterparts. Preferring the dark corners and spending most of their time lying on the floor, it came as no surprise that Xuhai City had the aura of a ghost town.
Within an hour, all the disciples had entered Xuhai City. Gu Chaoyan, from the Supreme Sect, made her entrance at the very last moment.
Upon entering Xuhai City, Gu Chaoyan turned around with the intention of exploring the surroundings. She had been to Xuhai City before and understood that their ability to leave the city freely was their greatest advantage, as the Undead Race within the city could not do the same. In her view, this was their most significant bargaining chip. If the situation took a turn for the worse, they needed to escape first. Gu Chaoyan felt compelled to share this crucial information with the Supreme Sect’s disciples, especially since many of them were outer sect members who might not possess the strength to confront the Undead Race head-on.
As she was about to step outside, she was abruptly pushed back by a surge of spiritual energy.
“What’s happening here?” She attempted to exit once more but found herself unable to.
“Oh no!” Gu Chaoyan exclaimed in frustration.
Hearing Gu Chaoyan’s cry, the Head of the Undead Race, who had been wandering within the confines of Xuhai City, hurried over. “What’s the matter?” he inquired.
“We can’t leave Xuhai City,” Gu Chaoyan replied.
The Head of the Undead Race appeared genuinely surprised. He made an attempt to exit as well, only to discover that he was also trapped.
Were they all confined within Xuhai City? It seemed that way.
The realization slowly sank in, and a growing sense of foolishness gnawed at them. They had unwittingly fallen into a trap.
“We’re stuck here, ” the Head of the Undead Race reluctantly confirmed.
As Gu Chaoyan and the Head of the Undead Race hesitated, Elder Men from the Supreme Sect began to take notice of the situation. Elder Lin approached them and inquired, “What’s going on here?”
“Something’s amiss. Once we entered Xuhai City, we found ourselves unable to leave. We’re effectively immobilized,” Gu Chaoyan explained.
Elder Lin wore an unusual expression, then stated, “Whether we can leave or not is irrelevant at this moment. Our priority should be dealing with the
Undead Race within Xuhai City..”
