“Alright,” Gu Chaoyan reluctantly replied, wearing a visibly displeased expression. The idea of visiting the Elder held no appeal to her whatsoever.

Di Hongyun glanced at Gu Chaoyan, a sense of puzzlement arising within him. He found his Junior Sister’s behavior quite odd.

Most people would have been elated to be summoned by the Elder. Their excitement would likely be palpable, unlike Gu Chaoyan’s lack thereof.

“I’m curious about the Elder’s intentions,” Di Hongyun mused aloud, his own curiosity piqued. He was struggling to fathom the reason behind this summons.

Historically, encounters with the Elder were a rare occurrence for him, happening perhaps once a year at most.

Yet now, it seemed like hardly any time had passed before he was being beckoned on multiple occasions.

To an outsider, it might appear as though he had gained newfound prominence as a respected disciple.

“I doubt it’s anything positive,” Gu Chaoyan stated with a tinge of emotion. She couldn’t help but recall Elder Lin from the Weapon Refining Faction.

Elder Lin had, on countless occasions, issued orders that left Gu Chaoyan harboring resentment.

“Junior Sister, is it appropriate to speak of the Elders in such a manner? We owe our allegiance to the sect and should act in its best interest,” Lv Zhengyang interjected sternly. Gu Chaoyan’s outspokenness had prompted him to remind her of her responsibilities.

“Understood,” Gu Chaoyan responded, her words dragged out. She had momentarily forgotten Lv Zhengyang’s presence, earning herself a reprimand.

The trio exchanged a few more words as they proceeded to the Elderly Men’s territory.

This time around…

Representatives from all six sects’ Elders had convened.

Beside them, a congregation of disciples had also gathered.

They arrived later than expected, causing both Elders and disciples to appear as if they were waiting for their presence.

“You’re here,” Elder Lin of the Equipment Refining Sect was the first to speak.

Gone was his mischievous demeanor, replaced by a solemn expression that exuded seriousness.

“The three of you are the only ones who have come face-to-face with the Undead Race and have had direct encounters with them. As a result, you possess insights into the nature of the Undead Race,” Elder Lin addressed them with a gravity that commanded attention.

Upon hearing Elder Lin’s words, Gu Chaoyan was on the verge of exclaiming in astonishment.

What could Elder Lin possibly mean?contemporary romance

It slowly dawned on them—the enigmatic nature of the Undead Race was becoming clearer.

“Lately, a considerable number of sect disciples dispatched on missions haven’t returned. Given the timeframe, the circumstances are decidedly peculiar. The Elders suspect that the Undead Race might be the cause. Their resurrection necessitates a replenishment of spiritual energy, and it appears that the sect’s disciples are prime candidates for this energy extraction due to their potency and expediency. It seems the Undead Race is willing to antagonize humanity in their pursuit of spiritual sustenance.”

“Furthermore, the majority of these missing disciples met their demise in the proximity of Xuhai City.”

“The sect has pinpointed a suitable group to undertake this task. The assignment entails journeying to Xuhai City to locate the absent disciples.”

“And you three are to accompany them.”

“I decline,” Gu Chaoyan forthrightly rejected the proposal when she comprehended the mission’s nature.

Elder Lin had already set the plan in motion, yet he hadn’t anticipated such a direct refusal.

Initial surprise swept across his features.

Then his gaze settled on Gu Chaoyan.

His brows furrowed slightly, a hint of confusion crossing his expression.

“Why?” inquired Elder Lin.

“Within the Supreme Sect, I don’t hold significant power. Our understanding of the Undead Race is still far from comprehensive—it wouldn’t be any different if someone else were sent in my place. Moreover, the imminent opening of the mystic realm presents an opportunity for cultivation that I’m keen on seizing. This way, I could potentially gain what I seek within the mystic realm,” Gu

Chaoyan stated candidly..
