If she didn’t decipher the utility of her spatial abilities today, the risk of meeting her demise in this predicament became a stark reality.
Contemplating the perilous situation, she acknowledged the gravity of the circumstance.
With the demise of the Human Clan Leader and the successful opening of the barrier, the other fleeing members of the Ling family were now inconsequential, akin to stray dogs.
The Clan Leaders collectively breathed a sigh of relief.
Approaching Gu Chaoyan with appreciative smiles, they expressed gratitude, “We owe today’s salvation to the Clan Leader of the Demon Clan. Without her, we would have been in serious trouble.”
“By the way, could it be that the Clan Leader of the Demon Clan anticipated this, prompting her timely appearance?”
Gu Chaoyan forced a smile.
Internally, she marveled at their speculative minds. If she had indeed foreseen these events, why would she have chosen this particular moment to intervene? It seemed a peculiar assumption.
Yet, outwardly, she maintained her enigmatic demeanor, offering only a faint smile without confirming or denying their suspicions. This ambiguity added to the mystique surrounding the Clan Leader of the Demon Clan.
Given her silence, the others refrained from pressing further, allowing their imaginations to fill in the gaps.
With the demise of the Human Clan Leader, there was a mess to clean up. However, Gu Chaoyan saw no need for the Demon Clan to involve themselves.
Addressing the Dao Child of the Demon Clan, she remarked, “Dealing with these nuisances is tiresome. Let’s return to the Demon Clan.”
She had no inclination to engage in further conversation with the Clan Leaders. In fact, she harbored a lingering apprehension that they might discern something about her. Thus, she deliberately distanced herself from these troublesome discussions.
“Sister, let’s just go and pay no attention to these matters,” suggested the Dao Child of the Demon Clan, sensing the natural aversion.
His sister had never been fond of such affairs, a sentiment that persisted from the past to the present. He comprehended her stance.
The Demon Clan departed without further ado.
The members of the other clans were eager to rectify the aftermath. Surviving owed much to the Clan Leader of the Demon Clan, and cleaning up the mess felt like a small price to pay, considering the potential benefits.
The demise of the Human Clan Leader resulted from his excessive ambition, leaving a trail of grievances. The memory of his past actions lingered, ensuring future retaliation against the Human Clan.
Additionally, the Human Clan Leader’s residence yielded valuable spoils.
And so, the Demon Clan left, while representatives of other races expressed intentions to visit in the future.
During the return journey, the First Elder and the Demon Family Elder extended polite greetings to Gu Chaoyan.
Gu Chaoyan, however, grappled with conflicting emotions.
After today’s incident, it seemed they had unequivocally recognized her as the Clan Leader. Whether this was a boon or a bane, she couldn’t fathom.
Adrift in contemplation, she absentmindedly placed her hand on her forehead, grappling with the uncertainty.
Suddenly, the Dao Child of the Demon Clan entered, wearing a joyful expression as he remarked, “Sister, your cultivation has ascended to a transcendent level. Congratulations! You used to fervently desire formidable cultivation, and now you’ve achieved it.”
“Our Demon Clan can ascend to greater heights. We might even seize the opportunity to revisit the ancient city of the Demon Clan. The mere thought brings me joy; we can reclaim our historical roots.”
“Why should my lack of strength hinder my return to the Demon Clan’s ancient city?”
