Even if she miraculously avoided harm from the miasma, restoring the ancient city of the Demon Clan to its original state proved an insurmountable challenge. Sooner or later, her true ident.i.ty would be unveiled.

And when that moment arrived…

The entire Demon Clan would show her no mercy.

The thought weighed heavily on Gu Chaoyan, intensifying her discomfort.

Every pa.s.sing moment in this realm felt like a relentless trial, each fraught with unimaginable terror.

Despite the Dao Child of Demon Clan’s attempts to uplift her spirits, Gu Chaoyan found it impossible to summon a smile.

The Dao Child of Demon Clan blamed himself endlessly, striving to devise ways to bring happiness to his troubled sister.

Upon their return to the Demon Clan City,

The First Elder welcomed her with utmost respect.

Yet, Gu Chaoyan couldn’t find it in herself to smile.

She almost preferred the skepticism!

The other Elders, along with the residents of the Demon Clan City, made a grand spectacle, joyously welcoming their Clan Leader back to the city.

This time…

They had truly acknowledged her.

Every step felt like a struggle for Gu Chaoyan.

Ahead loomed the throne of the Clan Leader of the Demon Clan—a path she had to ascend again, knowing each ascent depleted a substantial amount of her energy.

Maintaining an expressionless demeanor, Gu Chaoyan fought to conceal her emotions.

She advanced step by step toward the Clan Leader’s throne.

With each step, she projected an image of calm dominance, disguising the trembling in her legs.

Unbeknownst to those watching, Gu Chaoyan grappled with her own unease.

Finally, she let out a sigh of relief.

From her elevated position, overlooking the Demon Clan City, she exuded an air of undeniable authority.

Following her lead, the First Elder and the Demon Clan members bowed in reverence to their Clan Leader.

Gu Chaoyan executed the ceremony as per her own speculation.

Upon its completion, the First Elder eagerly inquired, “Clan Leader, when do we plan to return to the Demon Clan’s ancient city?”

As expected, the recurring question resurfaced.

No wonder the Dao Child of the Demon Clan had expressed concerns.

Return to the Demon Clan’s ancient city?

Risk exposure to the toxic miasma?

Or openly admit that she was not the true Clan Leader of the Demon Clan?

She resisted providing a direct answer.

Perplexed, the First Elder gazed up at the Clan Leader.

Gu Chaoyan, appearing reluctant, offered a tentative response, “As soon as possible.”

The First Elder beamed with approval. “Yes!”

With that, the matter seemed resolved.

Wearing a troubled expression, Gu Chaoyan descended from the Clan Leader’s throne.

This time, she left the a.s.sembly behind, turning away to depart.

On the contrary, the First Elder and the others appeared unperturbed.

It was a characteristic trait of the Clan Leader to be a.s.sertive.

He directed everyone to disperse and make preparations for the return to the Demon Clan’s ancient city.

Once Gu Chaoyan departed, she secluded herself in a room and summoned the Dragonman. “Consider how we can escape.”

“Why would you suddenly want to flee when you’re doing well as the Clan Leader of the Demon Clan?” The Dragonman, content with its indulgent lifestyle, munched on Spirit Stones, showing a lack of understanding.

“This is no jest. They’re heading back to the ancient city of the Demon Clan. I am not the authentic Clan Leader of the Demon Clan. Going back means certain death,” Gu Chaoyan a.s.serted gravely. “Not only due to the demon clan miasma, but the ancient city of the Demon Clan is also intrinsically linked to the Clan Leader. Only the true Clan Leader can resurrect the ancient city, and I cannot fulfill that role.”

The Dragonman grappled with the dilemma.

Indeed, this deception posed considerable challenges.

“Why not claim you want to take a stroll these few days, and we can use that as an opportunity to escape?”
