Chapter 2537: Obtaining Spiritual Root 3

Editor: Henyee Translations

Recognizing the sorcerer’s reasonable nature and adherence to rules, Pei Yueling decided to approach the situation from this perspective. Hoping that a conversation might provide her with an opportunity, she turned her attention to the sorcerer.

However…

The sorcerer frowned.

Other witches chimed in bluntly, “Young one, don’t play clever games with sorcerers. It won’t end well for you. You agreed to be brought along by us. Otherwise, why would the witches be so accommodating?”

Pei Yueling’s complexion grew even paler.

She hadn’t anticipated this turn of events at all.

It seemed she had made a grave mistake.

Observing her futile struggles, Gu Chaoyan understood that resistance was in vain. She smiled, asking, “Is that satisfactory now?”

Regret engulfed Pei Yueling.

She regretted entangling herself with Gu Chaoyan over envy. Initially considering Gu Chaoyan merely a disciple of a small sect, she hadn’t foreseen the extent of her fate.

Desperation filled Pei Yueling as she inquired, “What must I do for you to spare me? I’ve never taken a life. Why must I endure such a severe consequence?”

Gu Chaoyan responded sternly, “Impossible.”

Release her?

Allowing Pei Yueling to go free would jeopardize Huaijin’s safety.

“At the very least, grant me clarity before my demise. What did I do to warrant such a heavy price? I haven’t taken lives. Why must I endure such agony?”

While there was a slim chance of rebirth for a cultivator as long as their inner core remained intact, the opportunity was uncertain and might never come. Pei Yueling was unwilling to gamble on such uncertainties.

“Really?” Gu Chaoyan inquired with a hint of skepticism.

In response, Gu Chaoyan grinned and remarked, “You’re the Noble Lady with a selective memory. The one you harmed will always bear the pain. How could you forget?”

“Do you recall the Dragon Vein Mountain in the Shen You Continent?”

“The Dragon Race’s inheritance? I didn’t receive the inheritance.” Pei Yueling felt a twinge of discomfort. She recognized Gu Chaoyan from their encounter at the Dragon Vein Mountain.

It made sense now.

The unattained Dragon Race inheritance remained Pei Yueling’s greatest regret.

“Of course, you wouldn’t, because I possess the Dragon Race’s inheritance.” Gu Chaoyan didn’t hesitate to bring up this sore point. “But that’s not what I want to settle the score for.”

“When you left the Dragon Vein Mountain, do you recall using your spiritual power to kill an ordinary man with no cultivation?” Gu Chaoyan inquired with resentment in her eyes.

Pei Yueling would never comprehend the extent of the harm her actions caused others or how she coped with it initially.

Initially surprised, Pei Yueling gradually remembered and found it unbelievable.

“You mean that man?” Pei Yueling turned to Dao Seeking for confirmation.

Gu Chaoyan nodded.

Pei Yueling chuckled in disbelief.

She found the situation absurd. This bizarre chain of events had led her, Pei Yueling, to this state.

What a ridiculous twist of fate.

“Gu Chaoyan, are you truly a cultivator? Can’t you see through this?” Pei Yueling questioned, not considering herself a fool.

“What do you mean?” Gu Chaoyan was puzzled.

“Who is he to you?” Pei Yueling was intrigued. This situation appeared perplexing and hard to fathom.

“That’s not something you should inquire about. Now, you must face the consequences!”
