Chapter 2519: Demon Clan 52
Editor: Henyee Translations
She had acted impulsively, and the repercussions of rashness became apparent.
After regaining composure, Pei Yueling maintained silence.
She exchanged a meaningful glance with Gu Chaoyan, now the Clan Leader of the Demon Clan.
Had she been aware that this woman was the formidable patriarch of the demon race, she wouldn’t have allowed their conflict to escalate based on mere appearances.
With the enmity settled, regrets proved futile.
To expedite the resolution of this troublesome matter, relying solely on the Blood Clan’s resources was insufficient. Pei Yueling needed to explore additional avenues.
The Demon Clan’s banquet neared its conclusion, and the affairs were entrusted to the elders of the Demon Race.
Gu Chaoyan, the Clan Leader, could now take her leave.
The Dao Child of the Demon Clan, however, followed her, posing a question to his sister.
“Sister, are you letting that woman go just like that?” he inquired.
The woman had brazenly seized his sister’s Demon Clan Flower and had spoken disrespectfully. While his sister might be inclined to forgive, he harbored no such intentions.
If his sister chose to overlook the matter, he would take matters into his own hands, consequences be damned.
“Of course not,” Gu Chaoyan replied with a smile. “She’s taken aback by the revelation of the Clan Leader of the Demon Clan’s identity. The Demon Clan Hall Master will brief her on today’s events before our departure. When the Blood Clan comprehends the situation, they’ll realize there are consequences. They won’t afford her any chances in the future. What transpired today serves as sufficient punishment.”
The Dao Child of the Demon Clan nodded, seemingly comprehending the situation. He had always been forthright, willing to endure a disadvantage but unwilling to see his sister suffer. What his sister articulated, he neither comprehended nor acknowledged.
“Sister, I have some matters to attend to. I’ll be back later,” the Dao Child of the Demon Clan announced hastily before departing.
Gu Chaoyan breathed a sigh of relief.
Familiar with her brother’s temperament, she understood his inability to calm down. He likely sought to rectify the situation personally. Although she preferred to keep the Demon Clan out of the affair, she felt compelled to follow him.
Keen on swift revenge and the removal of the troublesome individual, she reassured herself that things would eventually settle.
Gu Chaoyan contemplated inwardly.
Soon after, the First Elder approached.
“Clan Leader.”
“First Elder, what brings you here?” Gu Chaoyan asked in surprise, unaware of the circumstances that led to his presence.
The First Elder nodded.
“Pei Yueling mentioned something from the past to me,” he disclosed. “Clan Leader, please elaborate. What is your current cultivation level?”
Pei Yueling had approached the First Elder personally?
Discussing the past?
This development caught her off guard.
Pei Yueling, despite her rash actions, wasn’t unintelligent. This unexpected move intrigued Gu Chaoyan.
Why would the First Elder believe her?
Gu Chaoyan gazed at the First Elder, wrestling with internal conflict. The dilemma lay in whether to disclose the truth or conceal it.
After a prolonged pause…
Gu Chaoyan released a sigh of relief and confessed, “Half-step Golden Immortal.”
The First Elder found the revelation both anticipated and surprising.
She was indeed a half-step Golden Immortal.
Recalling the challenges the Clan Leader faced against the Clan Leader of the Human Clan, he marveled at her ability to overcome such adversities. Despite her relatively low cultivation level, she had managed to prevail.
Truly, she was worthy of the title of Clan Leader of the Demon Clan.
“Clan Leader, tomorrow, I will guide you to a specific location,” the First Elder announced.
