Ms. Doctor Divine

Chapter 2258 - 2258: The Holy Mansion 4

In truth, it had intended to engulf it, but soon realized it lacked the capability to do so.

Since she was going to assume the role of her master, she decided to let her attempt it.

Yet the entire scenario appeared exceedingly peculiar.

They found the entire situation quite perplexing. However, if they could peer into what transpired within, they would encounter an even greater enigma.

A dark mass surged into Gu Chaoyan’s body. Originally, it intended to claim this body as its own, but before it could celebrate finding such a suitable host, the dark mass sensed itself being drawn away by some external force. When it attempted to withdraw, it was already too late; everything was being absorbed by a white mass.

It struggled.

During her struggle, Gu Chaoyan felt as though she were being torn apart.

But…

The dark entity vanished, sucked away.

At that moment, Gu Chaoyan regained consciousness as well.

She had no inkling of what had transpired, but she sensed a surge in her strength.

“What just happened?” Gu Chaoyan inquired of Dao Seeking.

“You… you absorbed it!” The Head of the Undead Race pointed to the original location where the entity had been, but now there was nothing there.

So, was this the source of her newfound ferocity?

What?

What was unfolding here, anyway?

She remained inactive, sensing an internal turmoil.

Gu Chaoyan felt bewildered as the shadowy figure approached. His astonishment was palpable when he realized the absence of the entity.

She…

In that moment, regret consumed the man, regret for keeping her for his own purposes.

He should have heeded the Elder Miss’s counsel — he should have eliminated her!

Now…

It seemed her last opportunity to perish had arrived.

The black-clad man advanced directly.

While Gu Chaoyan retained her status as a Martial God, her aura, spiritual energy, and skills had already reached the level of a Paragon. She refused to be outmatched. In her struggle against the mysterious figure, she relentlessly attempted to remove his hat to unveil his identity.

She sensed that she had encountered this person before, someone intimately familiar.

She couldn’t fathom why he harbored such a vehement desire for her demise.

But there must have been a reason.

Empowered by her inheritance and the ancient cultivator’s sacred abode, the shadowy figure proved no match for her. Soon, he began retreating, unable to withstand her onslaught.

Gu Chaoyan seized him and tore off his black cloak.

A familiar face emerged. “Elder Lin?”

It was indeed Elder Lin!

Elder Lin appeared resigned to his fate. He seemed untroubled by exposure, as he no longer desired to live.

“I should never have given you the opportunity,” Elder Lin said ruefully. His greatest blunder had been affording her the chance to steal the item.

“Why did you give me that chance?”

“You possess great skill in weapon refinement, and she can make use of your talents,” the statement came.

Upon hearing this response, Gu Chaoyan found herself torn between laughter and exasperation.

So that was the rationale!

“You granted me an opportunity once, and now I’m affording you one as well.

Simply depart,” Gu Chaoyan declared.

Elder Lin shook his head..
