Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
He had once been the esteemed hall master of the flourishing Undead Race, a time when meeting him would have been considered a rare privilege, let alone collaborating with him. Of course, such a collaboration depended entirely on his prevailing mood.
Standing before him was a woman whose cunning nature was evident. Her intention was clear — she aimed to manipulate him into her service.
Yet, even if he were to take a step back and frame it as a partnership, he knew all too well that it would be apparent that he was merely a means for her future plans of domination.

And thus, his decision was resolute – he would not acquiesce.
Such was the mindset of the Undead Race.
Having recently awoken, he could sense the renewed vigor coursing through his being, his nearly restored power returning. He was no fool, nor was he inclined to be a pawn in the designs of others.
Observing his hesitance, Gu Chaoyan’s eyes narrowed.
The Undead Race couldn’t help but step back, a Derceptible apprehension of the imminent danger apparent in its actions.
“I’ve already introduced poison into your system. Even without it, you’ve inflicted harm upon numerous disciples of our esteemed Supreme Sect. Surrendering you to the sect guarantees your demise. However, should you choose to accede to my proposal, not only will I spare you, but I shall also provide you with timely elixirs for the next half-month. Moreover, you’re alone at the moment, and with my assistance, your vulnerability will be significantly diminished.”
“There’s one more aspect to consider. My grievances with the Extreme Celestial Sect are substantial, and I’m certain there exists a considerable enmity between the Undead Race and the Grand Unity Sect as well. Our objectives are aligned, which makes collaboration sensible. Once my vengeance is exacted, our alliance shall dissolve. You’ll resume your role as the hall master of the Undead Race, and I shall continue charting my own course. How does this proposition resonate with you?” Gu Chaoyan inquired, her words laden with temptation.
The Undead Race’s gaze remained locked onto the woman before it.
Though harboring resentment toward the Grand Unity Sect, immediate revenge was not its current aim.
She had an uncanny ability to align herself with his perspective, a skill that posed significant danger.
This woman’s guile was nothing short of a perilous weapon.
“Not interested, you say? Then let’s abandon this conversation. I stand to gain substantial advantages by delivering you to the sect,” Gu Chaoyan declared, her expression shifting to one of reluctance to engage further. Thus, she decided to depart alongside the Undead Race.

A chuckle escaped its lips. “Oh, but of course! A poor maiden like yourself leaves me with little choice but to concede.”
“Excellent. Join me at the Supreme Sect in two weeks’ time, and I shall furnish you with another dose of antidote,” Gu Chaoyan stated matter-of-factly.
“Agreed,” came the reluctant consent from the Undead Race. Subsequently, after a contemplative pause, it elaborated, “The disciples affiliated with your Supreme Sect have no bearing on me or our Undead Race. Lay no blame on us for that.
Gu Chaoyan dismissed his commentary without much ado.
Astute in his craftiness, the Undead Race’s statements weren’t necessarily factual. Xuhai City, situated within the territory of the Undead Race, ostensibly had no ties with their realm. So, then, who were the city’s associations relevant
However, this was not the puzzle Gu Chaoyan aimed to unravel. Her objective was to amass sufficient power to exact vengeance upon a particular woman, and the Undead Race appeared as a potential ally in this endeavor.
Following the discourse with the Undead Race, Gu Chaoyan caught up with the disciples and accompanied them on the journey back to the sect.
During the return, Gu Chaoyan purposefully lagged behind. Rather than keeping pace with the group, she opted to trail them, allowing them to precede her in reaching the sect..
