Chapter 2516: Demon Clan 49
Editor: Henyee Translations
There were certain aspects where the Dragonman had been correct in the past. Since arriving in the second world, adopting the ident.i.ty of the Clan Leader of the Demon Clan proved advantageous. Her confidence in facing Pei Yueling stemmed from this very position, giving her control over the situation.
Seeking revenge against Pei Yueling also appeared straightforward now. With an increase in her cultivation level, she could execute her plans. However, she refrained from acting immediately because she didn’t want to implicate the Demon Clan.
The members of the Demon Clan treated her exceptionally well, and it was precisely due to this kindness that she felt obligated to address her personal grievances independently.
Pei Yueling was now aligned with the Blood Clan. If the Demon Clan intervened, the Blood Clan would be obligated to provide an explanation. Simultaneously, the Demon Clan would face scrutiny from the entire second world.
This was a scenario Gu Chaoyan wished to avoid, hence she resolved to handle matters herself.
As Gu Chaoyan gazed at Pei Yueling, it was akin to observing someone on the brink of demise.
Pei Yueling couldn’t help but s.h.i.+ver under the weight of such an icy stare from afar.
Retracting her gaze, Pei Yueling wore an expression of defiance.
What if she held the t.i.tle of Clan Leader of the Demon Clan? Pei Yueling dared not make a move against her.
Furthermore, she wouldn’t allow Gu Chaoyan to have an easy time or get away with her schemes.
Pei Yueling intended to clarify matters with the First Elder of the Demon Race. If Gu Chaoyan claimed not to be the Clan Leader of the Demon Clan, it must be a deceitful ploy to ascend to that position.
At that moment…
As the Clan Leader of Demon Clan, unrecognized by the others, she wanted to test whether she could maintain her composure.
Pei Yueling sneered, taking her seat at the table.
Regardless of the Clan Leader of Blood Clan’s evident anxiety, she remained indifferent.
The Clan Leader of Blood Clan found himself grappling with an unprecedented predicament, unsure of the appropriate course of action.
All he could do was wait.
The Demon Clan’s banquet extended into the late afternoon before signs of dispersal emerged.
The Clan Leader of Blood Clan hastily made arrangements and then informed Pei Yueling, “The First Elder is over there. If you have any matters to attend to, go. Remember, our actions are grounded in the interests of the Blood Clan. The Blood Clan cannot tolerate any mishaps in the Second World. Otherwise, we could easily lose our standing, much like the current plight of the Human Clan.”
Although the Clan Leader of Blood Clan held a favorable view of this long-lost daughter, the involvement of the Clan Leader of Blood Clan and the apparent discord with the Clan Leader of Demon Clan left him increasingly concerned.
This was Demon Clan territory.
No matter their actions, they represented the Blood Clan.
Given the formidable strength of the Clan Leader of Demon Clan, the Blood Clan had to tread cautiously.
Pei Yueling found such instructions distasteful.
Her exceptional cultivation talent had earned her recognition at a young age, prompting everyone to view her differently.
Yet, upon arriving in the second world, she found herself having to curry favor and endure the nagging of the Clan Leader of Blood Clan.
She was well aware of her actions. Did he really need to pester her so?
Pei Yueling seethed with anger at the thought.
“Understood,” she replied discontentedly.
Despite the unease felt by the Clan Leader of Blood Clan upon hearing her response, he considered that Yueling might be facing unforeseen challenges, refraining from making a fuss. Instead, he patiently awaited her return, antic.i.p.ating positive news.
Nervously seated, the Clan Leader of Blood Clan braced himself for what would transpire.
Meanwhile…
