Ms. Doctor Divine

The two of them fell silent, their gazes fixed innocently and pitifully on Gu Chaoyan.

The Undead Race showed reluctance towards heading to Xuhai City, implying that there might be something fearsome awaiting them there. The fact that he wasn’t affiliated with the Supreme Sect raised questions about what could be even more terrifying within Xuhai City.

Having already arrived, they hadn’t yet located the Supreme Sect disciples, leaving them without the option to retreat. Their only choice was to proceed into the potentially hazardous Xuhai City.

“Lead the way; guide us to Xuhai City,” urged Gu Chaoyan, addressing the Undead Race.

Then, her attention turned to the other Supreme Sect disciples. “From this point forward, extreme caution is imperative. It’s plausible that Xuhai City could harbor even greater perils than what we’ve encountered thus far.”

Agreeing nods rippled through the Supreme Sect disciples.

Their demeanor was marked by intensity and vigilance.

Under the escort of Di Hongyun, the Undead Race led the way. Meanwhile, Gu Chaoyan meticulously assessed the situation, while disciples from different sects maintained vigilant postures.

Such was the mission at hand.

Though a Paragon-level disciple of the Fist Sect technically led, it was Gu Chaoyan who assumed the forefront. Curiously, the Supreme Sect disciples seemed to accept this arrangement without qualms, instinctively adhering to her authority. Even the Fist Faction disciple raised no objections.

In a sudden revelation, it dawned on him why Elder Lin from the Weapon Refining Sect had insisted on involving his Junior Sister in this mission. Despite her relatively inferior cultivation, her remarkable adaptability became evident.

He had been disoriented just moments ago, falling victim to an illusion crafted by the cunning Undead Race.

If not for their Junior Sister’s intervention, they might have met their demise at the hands of the Undead Race.

He held high regard for his Junior Sister’s leadership.

The journey to Xuhai City consumed a significant amount of time.

As they finally caught sight of the distant Xuhai City, their anticipation was deflated by the realization that they remained considerably distant from their destination.

Yet again, this Xuhai City resembled the one they had just entered.

The disciples of the Wushang Sect even began to suspect the authenticity of this Xuhai City.

The Undead Race came to a halt, revealing a hint of reluctance. “My Lady, I’ve fulfilled my part by bringing you to Xuhai City unharmed, equalizing our account for the earlier incident. If you intend to enter Xuhai City, you’ll have to proceed on your own. As for me, I’ll abstain. I’ve recently awoken, and I wish to extend my years of existence.”

The Undead Race’s logic was sound.

However, he was confronting Gu Chaoyan.

Knowing Gu Chaoyan’s tenacity, it was apparent she wouldn’t be swayed easily.

His reluctance to enter Xuhai City indicated a perception of danger within.

And that knowledge raised a critical question.

She had to ensure their companionship.

“What gibberish are you spouting? You’re our captive now, obliged to adhere to our directives. Numerous tasks lay ahead, and entering Xuhai City is non-negotiable!” Di Hongyun’s voice erupted. He had adopted a role as Chaoyan’s aid, steadfast in his support.

“Quiet!” The Undead Race retorted, his displeasure evident.

“Silence!” The two of them bickered in retort. “Speak if you must, but lower your volume.. Your boisterousness makes you the most vulnerable in Xuhai City due to your conspicuousness!”
