Chapter 2520: Demon Clan 53
Editor: Henyee Translations
“Where?” Gu Chaoyan inquired instinctively.
Did the First Elder have another destination in mind for her?
Her curiosity lingered.
“You will find out tomorrow,” the First Elder responded solemnly, as though alluding to something of great significance.
Gu Chaoyan wasn’t particularly fond of the mysterious tone the First Elder adopted, but she refrained from challenging him directly.
So be it.
In any case, she would uncover the truth when the time came.
Gu Chaoyan nodded.
With that, the First Elder departed in tranquility.
As he exited, he coincidentally encountered the Dao Child of the Demon Clan returning with an elated expression. The First Elder remained perplexed; this young one must have found some target for mischief. It was only during such endeavors that he exhibited such jubilant demeanor.
Amused by the thought, a fond smile crept onto the First Elder’s face.
Now…
It increasingly resembled the Demon Clan of a thousand years past.
Back then, everyone within the ancient city of the Demon Clan shared a similar spirit.
The First Elder took his leave.
The Demon Clan’s banquet concluded simultaneously.
Each clan leader departed with their respective entourages.
Therefore…
The Clan Leader of the Blood Clan also escorted Pei Yueling back.
The present Pei Yueling appeared worse for wear, with noticeable swelling on her face.
The assault had been orchestrated by the Dao Child of the Demon Clan, and they were unable to mount a retaliatory response.
Presumably, the attack was a consequence of Pei Yueling’s actions within the Demon Clan. The Dao Child of Demon Clan, though reputedly formidable, generally exercised reason. Yet, Yueling’s provocations within the Demon Clan’s ancient city had pushed him to this extent.
The Clan Leader of the Blood Clan deemed Yueling’s conduct excessively impulsive.
Unanticipated was Yueling’s rashness, and now she had to bear the consequences.
For the future, the Clan Leader decided to confine Yueling within the Blood Clan, avoiding situations that might compromise the Blood Clan’s standing. It was evident that the Demon Clan’s ancient city harbored resentment towards Yueling.
“Just accept it. The Dao Child of the Demon Clan possesses profound cultivation. Even among us cultivators, facing his attack would result in injuries,” advised the Clan Leader of the Blood Clan. “Your audacity within the Demon Clan’s ancient city was unwarranted.”
Pei Yueling maintained a stoic silence.
Aware of the Clan Leader of the Blood Clan’s stance, she saw no value in expending energy on futile explanations.
Her sole focus was on cultivating diligently, awaiting the day when she could exact revenge on the Demon Clan. Even the Clan Leader of the Demon Clan was not exempt—Yueling desired her demise.
The Clan Leader of the Blood Clan remained oblivious to Pei Yueling’s current thoughts. He assumed her silence reflected acknowledgment of her mistake, fostering a sense of guilt that kept her mute.
“It’s good that you understand,” sighed the Clan Leader of the Blood Clan.
As everyone departed, they left behind the ancient city, with the passage of time unrelenting.
The awaited day finally dawned.
‘Early.’
Outside, the First Elder awaited Gu Chaoyan.
Having risen early with thoughts weighing on her mind, Gu Chaoyan’s face brightened upon seeing the First Elder. Despite everything, the First Elder retained a kind demeanor.
“Clan Leader, let’s go,” urged the First Elder.
“Yes,” Gu Chaoyan replied, and together, they departed.
The First Elder guided her to locations with fewer members of the Demon Clan. The surroundings grew progressively sparse with Demon Clan individuals, and the atmosphere chilled as they ventured further. Numerous Demon Clan flowers bloomed along the way, signifying the heightened spiritual energy nurturing them.
In this place, spiritual energy had become increasingly abundant.
Now…
Gu Chaoyan beheld the colossal flower.
Her mood took a somber turn.
