Chapter 2490: Demon Clan 22

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

A millennium ago, in the Second World, the Demon Clan held sway, with a female demon reigning as its leader.

However, following the mysterious disappearance of this influential female figure, the Second World descended into chaos. Both the Human Clan and the Blood Clan vied for dominance, yet none possessed the extraordinary cultivation of the departed female demon.

Consequently, the ensuing years were marked by incessant conflicts.

Contrastingly, during the era of the female demon, the Second World experienced a certain level of harmony, albeit primarily within the Demon Clan.

Anticipation filled the air concerning what would transpire upon the reappearance of the female demon.

Once the Demon Clan settled into their seats, a hush fell over the surroundings.

Gu Chaoyan sat upright, exuding a composed exterior that masked her inner trepidation.

Despite her outward calm, she harbored a deep fear. Upon entering, she keenly sensed the formidable aura of the unfamiliar experts present—individuals with abilities beyond any she had encountered before.

In the face of potential aggression, she realized her vulnerability. She could not match any one of them in combat and might meet her demise within these walls.

Under these circumstances…

Her imperative was clear: she could not afford to appear weak. They needed to emulate the fearless demeanor of the Clan Leader of the Demon Clan. If others sensed fear, they might exploit it.

Beside the prevailing fear, the gazes of all present, regardless of their race, were fixated on her, engaging in hushed discussions.

The Clan Leader of the Demon Clan had courted significant attention in the past.

While some spoke positively about her, many harbored intentions of doing her harm.

Frustration welled up within Gu Chaoyan at the persistent annoyance of being scrutinized and targeted.

At this moment…

In the backyard of the Clan Leader of the Human Clan.

The Clan Leader of the Human Clan and a few members of the Ling Family gathered together.

They were caught off guard, unaware that the Clan Leader of the Human Clan, absent for a thousand years, would return at this particular time, let alone make an appearance on the Clan Leader of the Human Clan’s birthday.

“Could that female demon have calculated something or gained knowledge prompting her appearance today?” The suddenness of her return fueled suspicion among the Ling Family members.

This statement induced a thoughtful silence among the members of the Ling Family.

A thousand years ago, the cultivation of the female demon was unfathomable, making her the preeminent existence in the Second World.

Later, it seemed she suffered from Energy Deviation during cultivation.

However, current events suggested otherwise.

If anyone could decipher the intentions of that female demon, it might indeed be an extraordinary feat.

“It matters little whether she knows anything or not. Her presence changes nothing for me. I am not afraid of her now. When the time comes, I will confront her alongside others. It might take longer, but it’s a necessary undertaking,” declared the Clan Leader of the Human Clan.

The expressions of the Ling Family members eased slightly.

The Clan Leader of the Demon Clan instilled fear in everyone almost instinctively.

Yet, upon closer examination, her present status posed no significant threat to the Human Clan.

Within the Ling Family, routine continued unaffected.

Meanwhile, regarding the Demon Clan’s Patriarch under discussion…

At that moment, a forced smile adorned her face as she regarded the Clan Leader of the Bone Clan.

The Bone Clan, true to its name, consisted of skeletal beings.

Despite their skeletal appearance, the bones of the Bone Clan were surprisingly elegant and well-formed, lacking the usual ominous visage associated with bones.

Nevertheless, dealing with this assembly of bone beings posed a challenge for Gu Chaoyan.

The Clan Leader of the Bone Clan exclaimed with an infatuated look, “Yueyue, when did you return? Why didn’t you inform me? Why didn’t you join us today?”

“I just arrived,” Gu Chaoyan replied tersely.

“Yueyue, you’re treating me as coldly as you did a thousand years ago.”
