Chapter 2692: Sky Sect 18

Editor: Henyee Translations

The man above gazed down at Gu Chaoyan with an air of pride.

In this moment, he held the power to defend the city, and those below were under his command, awaiting his orders. If he chose to open the gates, they could enter; if not, the people below had no choice but to battle outside until their last breath on the battlefield.

He wielded control over their lives.

Courtesy was not a concern for this unwelcoming host; it was his affair, not the business of those below.

Thus, he had the audacity to display such arrogance.

With a disdainful expression, he surveyed the people below.

Gu Chaoyan, disapproving, rose and approached the wall. She yanked the man down and tossed him out of the gate. While allowing her men to enter, she intentionally excluded the general.

She left him isolated outside the city gate.

Looking down on him with a mocking smile, Gu Chaoyan declared, “I’ll let you savor this.”

“How dare you! Let me in!” The man glared at Gu Chaoyan and then at his own men.

Yet, with Gu Chaoyan in command, none dared to challenge her.

Fearful of being tossed down, they refrained from any rash actions. Their fate seemed sealed.

True to expectations, the enemy swiftly arrived, using the outside individuals as a grim warning to the rest. Negotiation was futile; they mercilessly cut them down.

And then, the clamor to attack the city ensued.

Gu Chaoyan swiftly made a decision, rallying the people in the city to cooperate with her.

With their general now deceased, Gu Chaoyan stood as the sole commander, making it logical for them to follow her orders. The soldiers, loyal to Gu Chaoyan, began to fortify the city. Despite their initial disadvantage, they gradually gained the upper hand. After a relentless day and night, realizing they couldn’t afford further delays, the enemy decided to retreat to the previous city. However, Gu Chaoyan denied them that chance, encircling them directly.

Capitalizing on the victory, she pursued them all the way back, reclaiming several cities.

Her leadership earned her the respect of all the soldiers.

Upon achieving a comprehensive victory, she fulfilled her mission and returned to the Chaotic Space.

“Three days have passed,” the Chaotic Space reminded.

‘What.’

Gu Chaoyan hadn’t anticipated that much time had elapsed. She rose and exited the Chaotic Space.

Upon emerging, Gu Chaoyan’s cultivation level had significantly ascended.

However, at the Master of Fortune’s cultivation level, her spiritual energy underwent a tremendous surge. While not entering other realms casually, the skills she had originally grasped became more potent. Coupled with her formidable cultivation level, she stood as a formidable force.

Lin Xue, too, sensed the change in Gu Chaoyan.

The speed of her cultivation left Lin Xue pleasantly surprised.

Considering her remarkable progress, it seemed odd for her to be part of Xing Sect. Normally, she would have caught the attention of other Sect Leaders. What could be the issue?

Lin Xue was on the verge of asking when Gu Chaoyan directed her attention to a spot not far away. “Look here.”

Curiosity piqued, Lin Xue glanced over. It was just a fruit tree; why was Gu Chaoyan so delighted?

Lin Xue couldn’t help but feel a bit puzzled.

Nevertheless, she followed Gu Chaoyan’s lead.

Another day passed with feasting and merriment.

Simultaneously, the Sky Sect’s banquet drew near.

However, he remained absent during this time.

Lin Xue felt a twinge of worry and impatience.
