Chapter 2691: Sky Sect 17

Editor: Henyee Translations

But the matter was settled just like that.

Gu Chaoyan and Lin Xue took charge of his roasted meat. In the next ten days, he sneaked into the banquet with them.

Ten days later, another excellent opportunity presented itself.

Recognizing the significance of the occasion, Gu Chaoyan decided to focus on cultivating to avoid any unwanted attention at the banquet.

After the feast, he hastily made his exit.

Both Lin Xue and Gu Chaoyan prepared to immerse themselves in cultivation.

Observing Lin Xue already engrossed in practice, Gu Chaoyan entered the Chaotic Space.

“What do you think, old man? Are you done?” Gu Chaoyan asked with a carefree expression.

“What old man? You’re the old man,” protested the discontented deep voice of the Chaotic Space. He was quite young and couldn’t fathom being labeled an old man. Clearly, she was a little girl nobody appreciated.

Gu Chaoyan could not help but feel sad.

Although he had never seen anyone before, hearing this voice, if it wasn’t the old man, what was it?

Gu Chaoyan felt helpless when he was still unwilling to admit it.

She did not argue with him.

“What about my mission?” Gu Chaoyan asked.

The Chaotic Space was angry because of this. They did not give her any face and directly threw her into the mission.

Gu Chaoyan got so annoyed that she had no other choice.

She went straight to the mission.

As soon as she opened her eyes, several pairs of eyes looked at her. These people were wearing armor and looked anxious, as if they were waiting for her to wake up.

The moment Gu Chaoyan opened her eyes, a spark of hope ignited within them. “General, you’re awake. What’s our plan? The city is on the brink of being breached.”

Hearing these words, Gu Chaoyan quickly grasped the dire situation she was facing.

She pondered the options silently.

The city seemed indefensible now. However, the general before her was known for his self-centered nature. It was unlikely he would open the city gates to allow refuge; instead, he seemed more inclined to drain the life out of everyone within.

She was the general of this city.

Now, it was up to her to figure out what to do.

“Abandon the city.” Gu Chaoyan stood up and left with her men.

If they did not abandon the city, these people would die here.

No matter what, he had to go to the city ahead first.

As for them leaving her in the lurch, she couldn’t be blamed for being impolite.

Although these soldiers did not know what to do next, the current situation was indeed the best solution. No matter what, they would die.

They galloped towards the next city.

The general of the next city seemed to have expected this situation.

The deputy general asked, “General, should we open the city gate?”

“Open the city gate? A soldier should fight to the end. If the gate is opened, we’ll only invite endless trouble in the future. Let them face the consequences below; it’s a significant sacrifice for the country.”

Naturally, the city gate remained sealed.

Shouting from below, Gu Chaoyan demanded, “Open the gate!”

“You deserters have no right to call for the gate to be opened. A true soldier fights until the end. Your failure to defend the city is your own fault, and we won’t bear the consequences for you.”

“You’re the ones who didn’t come to our aid. If you had, the city wouldn’t be lost. If you don’t open the gate, don’t blame me for being blunt,” Gu Chaoyan retorted.

In the face of a formidable enemy, there was an unexpected display of selfishness from someone fearful of losing their own life.

“How can you not show some courtesy?”
