Chapter 2240 - 2240: Danger 2

In this moment, their only task was to watch as Gu Chaoyan confronted the Elder Man from the Moon Sect.

All eyes were fixed on the unfolding spectacle.

The Head of the Undead Race felt a sense of injustice and couldn’t hold back his frustration. He shouted, “What are you all gawking at? Take action!”

A disrespectful disciple couldn’t contain himself and retorted, “Quiet down, you unattractive woman!” He looked at the Head of the Undead Race with disdain.

Usually, the female disciples from the school were known for their beauty or at the very least, they carried an air of refinement due to their cultivation. It was rare to find a female disciple who was both unattractive and powerful. To have someone unattractive and powerful now barking orders at them seemed absurd to many.

This sentiment resonated with several onlookers, and no one came to the defense of the Head of the Undead Race.

Di Hongyun couldn’t help but chuckle at the scene.

“Now, take action!” Gu Chaoyan urged urgently, noticing that some were just standing idly by.

It was only then that the gravity of the situation began to sink in for the spectators. They had been overly optimistic to expect a single woman to take on the Elder Man from the Moon Sect.

Finally, the Elder Man from the Moon Sect began to resist.

In that critical moment, Gu Chaoyan aimed a direct strike at the Elder Man’s throat.

The Elder Man from the Moon Sect’s eyes widened in shock, and he collapsed as the events unfolded.

Gu Chaoyan released a sigh of relief.

Well…

Fortunately, she had successfully dealt with him; otherwise, the situation would have been extremely challenging.

As the Elder Man from the Moon Sect passed away, someone retrieved a vial from his belongings. While it was not for consumption, it was clearly a valuable item.

Some remained skeptical when someone picked up the vial, and tensions escalated as they began to vie for it.

Gu Chaoyan, however, remained indifferent.

She had no desire for such a malevolent pill; anyone else could have it. Anything within the mystic realm had to be taken away. She harbored no concerns about anyone consuming the pills again. While the pills did enhance martial skills, they also exerted control over those who ingested them, compelling them to commit heinous acts. For instance, the Elder Man from the Moon Sect had killed numerous disciples from his own sect. What was the point of such power if it led to such atrocities?

Her gaze fixed on the room before her.

The room appeared safe, while the real danger lay within the bottle of pills.

However…

What lay ahead remained an enigma.

“This young lady is astute and capable. In my view, you should lead the way, and we’ll be your protectors. We’ll ensure your safety. As for the rewards, you can make the first selection, and we’ll divide the rest among us,” suggested one of the more cautious individuals.

Retreat was not an option.

They had to press forward.

Having encountered numerous perils in the second room, they had no inkling of what dangers the unknown future held. They needed a trailblazer, someone who could confront and mitigate these hazards.

The figure before them was the ideal choice.

While they feared for their lives, they also believed she was the most suitable leader.

“That won’t do! You’re all cowards, and if anything happens to her ahead of us, we’ll all be in jeopardy!” The Head of the Undead Race flatly rejected the proposal.

These individuals were shrewd enough to push others towards peril while protecting themselves.

He intended to keep a close watch over her and not take any unnecessary risks.

“I concur, but I insist on making the first selection to secure more for myself,”

Gu Chaoyan agreed..
