Chapter 2472: Demon Clan 4
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The Dragonman appeared to be in high spirits. After all, it considered itself fortunate to still be alive in the Second World, especially with someone who was merely a half-step Golden Immortal. Having the backing of the Demon Clan presented a favorable situation for its growth in this unfamiliar realm.
Gu Chaoyan couldn’t help but roll her eyes at its apparent joy. He seemed quite content.
Becoming the Clan Leader of the Demon Clan did offer some advantages. Now, with a demon by her side, she no longer had to fret about being a.s.saulted by other experts on her journey. However, the prospect of facing demons directly loomed, and she might meet her demise at their hands before any other experts could intervene.
What kind of figure was the Clan Leader of the Demon Clan?
A millennium ago, she was reputedly the strongest individual in the Second World.
Yet now, with Gu Chaoyan’s cultivation level, she ranked among the weakest.
While she could maintain the charade as the Clan Leader of the Demon Clan based on her appearance, the imminent return of their Demon Elder would expose her true ident.i.ty. Despite their striking resemblance, their differences in behavior, words, and cultivation would swiftly unravel the deception. When that happened, it would be too late.
Meanwhile, the Dragonman remained blissfully ignorant and carefree.
“You really don’t understand the danger we’re in,” Gu Chaoyan cautioned. “Be cautious, or we might meet our end here in the Demon Clan.”
“No,” the Dragonman a.s.serted firmly. “The Clan Leader of the Demon Clan has been missing for a thousand years. It’s doubtful she’ll return. As long as she doesn’t come back, you’ll be safe. Even if the Demon Clan members are suspicious, they won’t harm you since they can’t definitively determine if you’re authentic or a pretender.”
Gu Chaoyan rolled her eyes once more. “You’re surprisingly insightful.”
The Dragonman, adopting an adult-like tone, responded, “It’s not that I’m clever, but I’m more acquainted with the workings of this Second World than you. This is currently the best outcome. Don’t worry. Without the Demon Clan’s protection, you’d be in serious trouble in this Second World.”
Gu Chaoyan cast a glance at the Dragonman.
Antic.i.p.ating no visitors tonight, the Dragonman cheerfully emerged from her arms and settled within the dwelling. It seemed to relish the environment, finding it secure and welcoming.
Gu Chaoyan secured herself a seat.
She grasped the implications of the Dragonman’s words. The abundance of Spirit Qi in the second world rendered even the weakest cultivator at least a half-step Golden Immortal. Yet, due to her cultivation level, she felt as constrained as a martial artist in the first world, unable to make significant progress.
However, a.s.suming the role of the Clan Leader of the Demon Clan sparked anxiety within her. She wasn’t genuinely the Clan Leader, and the weight of responsibility for a clan as esteemed as the Demon Clan loomed over her. She would prefer to remain concealed in this second world.
The Dragonman, oblivious to her concerns, reveled in its contentment.
Gu Chaoyan released a sigh of relief.
She reclined, preparing to rest.
Only through adequate rest could she confront the imminent challenge.
Encountering the Elder of the Demon Race was sure to be a headache.
The abundant spiritual energy facilitated a gradual improvement in her cultivation, a prospect that appealed to Gu Chaoyan.
The next day…
“Early.”
Gu Chaoyan heard a knock on the door.
Her heart raced. This signaled the return of the Demon Race elders, eager to meet the Clan Leader who had vanished for a thousand years.
Reluctantly, Gu Chaoyan opened the door.
