Chapter 2538: Obtaining Spiritual Root 4
Editor: Henyee Translations
âWait.â Pei Yueling struggled and shouted, âIf itâs because of this, I think Iâll die in vain.â
Pei Yueling acknowledged her past misdeeds, having orchestrated various wrongdoings within the Grand Unity Sect, including the confiscation of many disciplesâ spiritual roots. If this were the reason for her fate, she was willing to accept it, chalking it up to her own misfortune.
HoweverâŠ
She found Gu Chaoyanâs explanation hard to accept.
She couldnât fathom why she had to pay such a hefty price for what she deemed a reasonable course of action.
âIf it is him, Gu Chaoyan, you have no right to kill the innocent,â Pei Yueling asserted confidently. âAs a cultivator, canât you discern?â
âIs that truly a person?â Pei Yueling questioned.
âWhat do you mean?â Gu Chaoyan frowned in confusion.
âI mean, itâs not a person. Itâs merely a phantom. Strictly speaking, itâs just a clone,â Pei Yueling clarified. âThe so-called clone is formed by someone with an extremely high cultivation level using their spiritual energy. This clone serves their will.â
âI attacked to identify whose clone it was. Unexpectedly, the person behind it would rather sacrifice the clone than reveal themselves.â
âIn essence, what I killed was merely a manifestation of someoneâs spiritual energy. Is it fair for me to forfeit my life over this alone?â Pei Yueling questioned. She genuinely felt unjustly treated in this matter, explaining her passionate defense.
âWhat did you just say?â Gu Chaoyan was in a state of shock.
Pei Yueling claimed that Huaijin was just a clone?
It was a manifestation of someoneâs spiritual power.
He wasnât real, yet he was alive!
Impossible. She couldnât believe it.
Absolutely unimaginable.
She couldnât fathom that the person she cared for wasnât human but a clone.
âWho is it?â Gu Chaoyan asked in disbelief.
âI donât know, but someone capable of creating a clone must possess formidable mental strength,â Pei Yueling remarked. Her attack earlier was, in part, an attempt to identify the person and establish contact. Partnering with such an individual could significantly advance her cultivation.
What a disappointment.
Not only did it fail to yield benefits, but it also brought about considerable trouble.
Pei Yueling viewed this as nothing short of a disaster.

âI donât believe you; youâre lying to me!â Gu Chaoyan, for the first time, lost her composure and shouted in anger.
Pei Yueling, known for her cunning and deceit, had managed to fool members of the Grand Unity Sect and the Blood Clan before. Gu Chaoyan questioned whether she was being deceived again.
âIn the Third World, clones are indeed prevalent. What she said isnât entirely false. Some details need verification,â the sorcerer interjected.
âHeâs already dead. How can we verify this? Besides, I never discovered whose clone it is.â Pei Yueling suddenly felt a twinge of sadness. Time had passed, and now she could no longer prove her innocence.
âHis body is still in Shenyou Continent,â Gu Chaoyan suddenly stated.
âA corpse?â The sorcerer felt a bit perplexed. âIf itâs a clone, there wouldnât be a corpse. The clone may be gone, but his spiritual energy would have dissipated.â
âThat was indeed a clone. Iâm not lying about this,â Pei Yueling insisted.
Gu Chaoyan glared at Pei Yueling. âLetâs not discuss the clone.â
