Chapter 2539: Obtaining Spiritual Root 5
Editor: Henyee Translations
“If we avoid discussing the clone, it won’t prove my innocence.” Pei Yueling was unmistakably displeased. She knew her safety depended on resolving this matter conclusively.
Gu Chaoyan shot her a stern look.
“Even if he’s a clone, he possesses his own soul. Since you killed him, you bear responsibility for him,” Gu Chaoyan asserted. “He lies on Dragon Vein Mountain, and your One Origin Grass can revive him. I only want him to wake up first. As for other matters, we’ll have to wait until he wakes up to ascertain if he’s a clone.”
“As long as he wakes up, I won’t demand your life.”
“If he truly turns out to be a clone, I’ll accept it,” Gu Chaoyan declared.
“I can offer you my spiritual root,” Pei Yueling proposed, “but, in my opinion, waking him up is impossible. The life and death of the clone hinge on whether its creator is willing to provide spiritual energy. If not, he will perish.”
“The individual who informed you about the spiritual root and the One Origin Grass deceived you.” Pei Yueling was well-acquainted with such deceit.
Gu Chaoyan, despite being intelligent, appeared remarkably gullible in this matter.
She genuinely believed in these deceptive elements.
Gu Chaoyan’s face brimmed with anger. She regarded Pei Yueling with a look that could kill.
Pei Yueling dared not say another word.
Further talk would only jeopardize her safety.
She finally grasped it.
Even if he were a clone, as long as he remained by Gu Chaoyan’s side, the latter could direct her fury at Pei Yueling for his demise.
Pei Yueling forced a foolish smile. “Perhaps I’m not deceiving you. Let’s give it a try.”
“As long as you spare my life, I can offer you my spiritual root,” Pei Yueling said, moving to retrieve her own spiritual root.
In a realm like the second world, *
The significance of spiritual roots wasn’t as pronounced.
Having one would expedite cultivation, while lacking it meant finding alternative methods. In any case, it was preferable to sacrificing her life.
Pei Yueling swiftly produced her spiritual root and handed it to Gu Chaoyan.
Gu Chaoyan examined the spiritual root, confirming its authenticity.
Only then did she seem satisfied.
After receiving it, she turned to leave for the Shenyou Continent.
The sorcerer, somewhat concerned, trailed behind. Fearful of being left uninformed, Pei Yueling hurriedly followed suit.
In an instant, the three departed from the Second World.
The remaining Demon Clan members and a few witches wore expressions of confusion and disbelief.
Could it be…
What did this signify?
What should they do now? The sorcerer and sorceress were absent, and the Demon Clan’s leader was nowhere to be found.
The First Elder hastily stepped forward to address them.
The trio exited the Second World and headed directly to the Shenyou Continent, while Gu Chaoyan proceeded directly to the Dragon Vein Mountain.
Atop the Dragon Vein Mountain, a figure hovered. This person was enshrouded in the Spirit
Qi of the mountain but displayed no signs of life.
The sorcerer observed him with surprise.
“That’s him,” Pei Yueling said, pointing.
“Huaijin, I’m here.” Gu Chaoyan’s eyes welled up with tears. She retrieved Pei Yueling’s spiritual root and the One Origin Grass, attempting to revive him.
Long ago, Huang Fu had mentioned that with these two items, she could nourish him back to health.
