Chapter 2535: Obtaining Spiritual Root 1

Editor: Henyee Translations

“I am someone sought after by sorcerers. Aren’t you afraid they’ll hold you accountable for treating me this way? I won’t let you off easily,” Pei Yueling threatened, her tone laced with menace.

Normally astute, Pei Yueling tended to lose control under extreme circ.u.mstances, especially when she realized these individuals intended to hand her over to Gu Chaoyan.

Previously unafraid of Gu Chaoyan, she now felt genuine fear. Just moments ago, Gu Chaoyan had nearly taken her life, and the prospect of falling into her hands was alarming.

Desperate to avoid such a fate, Pei Yueling resorted to threats.

However, the witches, familiar with their own situation, remained unfazed by her warnings. Pei Yueling seemed unaware of the complexities within the witches’ realm. Even if they chose to release her, the sorcerers would likely impose minimal punishment. Executing such decisions was no easy task for witches, including sorcerers.

This woman a.s.sumed far too much importance, threatening them even as they contemplated releasing her.

The witches considered their options.

Shortly, the individual returned, drawing everyone’s attention, including Gu Chaoyan’s. He conveyed, “The sorcerer wishes to personally a.s.sess the situation before making a decision.”

The witches exchanged glances.

Pei Yueling breathed a sigh of relief.

If the sorcerer deemed it necessary to personally a.s.sess the situation before making a decision, Pei Yueling was likely safe. Gu Chaoyan, however, appeared contemplative.

“Do sorcerers often prefer to see things for themselves?” Gu Chaoyan inquired.

“She will arrive shortly,” came the response.

Gu Chaoyan waited patiently, casting a pensive gaze.

A heavy silence enveloped the scene.

Pei Yueling, looking at Gu Chaoyan, expressed her confusion, “Why force me into this situation?”

“I may have provoked you, but can’t we discuss things reasonably? Must it end in my death?”

“What if the sorcerer disagrees? Our conflict will only escalate. Do you truly wish to deepen this feud?”

Gu Chaoyan furrowed her brow slightly.

She understood that Pei Yueling was attempting to negotiate her way out of this situation. While the sorcerer’s personal inspection seemed advantageous, there still lingered uncertainty. Gu Chaoyan considered whether it might be prudent to address certain matters before the sorcerer’s arrival.

She grasped Pei Yueling’s intentions.

However…

Regrettably, Pei Yueling had crossed a line.

“Pei Yueling, do you truly believe your hands are clean? The deeds you’ve committed warrant your life,” Gu Chaoyan a.s.serted without specifying the details.

Pei Yueling frowned.

She struggled to recall any irreparable actions that might justify such severe consequences. Despite orchestrating various schemes, Pei Yueling prided herself on adhering to certain principles. While she may have masterminded crimes, she never personally took lives. In her view, she wasn’t responsible for human casualties.

Moreover, she couldn’t comprehend why Gu Chaoyan, in pursuit of her, would jeopardize relations with the witches. The reasoning behind Gu Chaoyan’s actions remained elusive to Pei Yueling.
