Chapter 2518: Demon Clan 51
Editor: Henyee Translations
“Otherwise, I won’t afford the Clan Leader of the Blood Clan any respect,” the First Elder declared bluntly, casting a disapproving gaze upon Pei Yueling.
“It’s true!” Pei Yueling, fearing her words were falling on deaf ears, persisted in her insistence.
The First Elder didn’t spare her a second glance as he departed.
Pei Yueling seethed with fury, perplexed by the Demon Clan’s unwillingness to heed her clear statements.
Frustrated, she stormed back.
Meanwhile, the First Elder, upon learning of the situation, experienced not suspicion but a deep sense of sorrow.
The Clan Leader had vanished for a millennium.
Throughout that time, the Demon Clan remained oblivious to her whereabouts, receiving no updates.
Upon her return, the Clan Leader expressed a desire to leave again. Moreover, she faced numerous challenges, and her demeanor lacked its former vitality. The Demon Clan’s Dao Child suggested that the Clan Leader’s cultivation had suffered, rendering her less formidable.
Initially speculative, the First Elder’s uncertainty transformed into certainty.
The Clan Leader had indeed departed due to cultivation damage, likely enduring significant hards.h.i.+ps during her absence, resulting in a marked change in her personality.
The girl insinuated that the Clan Leader had resorted to scheming to escape.
The First Elder’s heart throbbed with pain.
The exact state of the Clan Leader’s cultivation level remained unknown.
It was presumed that she had recently achieved the half-step Golden Immortal realm upon her return to the second world. During her absence, she had ventured to another continent where she faced mistreatment.
The First Elder’s focus was not on questioning the authenticity of the Clan Leader but on strategizing how to restore her to her previous cultivation level.
Meanwhile, an irate Pei Yueling returned empty-handed.
Observing Pei Yueling, the Clan Leader of the Blood Clan inquired, “Yueling, how did it go?”
“He’s utterly senseless. No matter what I said, he refused to believe anything,” Pei Yueling vented her frustration.
“Lower your voice,” cautioned the Clan Leader of the Blood Clan. “This is the ancient city of the Demon Clan. If they catch wind of your remarks, we’ll be in trouble.”
“Since you didn’t succeed, be obedient moving forward. Cease discussing the Demon Clan’s Clan Leader. Act as if you’re unaware and focus on cultivating within the Blood Clan. Should you visit the Demon Clan again, refrain from doing so. If the Clan Leader of the Demon Clan doesn’t see you, they won’t direct their frustration toward us,” the Clan Leader of the Blood Clan advised with a gentle tone.
He had resigned himself to losing this estranged daughter, a regrettable decision.
Nonetheless, the welfare of the Blood Clan took precedence.
He preferred the Blood Clan’s stability over any potential advancements, deeming it the utmost priority.
Pei Yueling regarded the Clan Leader of the Blood Clan. Gradually, her unusually agitated emotions subsided, replaced by a calm demeanor reminiscent of her arrival in the second world.
How had she forgotten?
In this world, many things were indifferent and unfeeling.
Her task was to remain composed and systematically pursue her objectives.
She had arrived in the Second World, taken away by the Clan Leader of the Blood Clan.
For an extended period, her life had been a tranquil voyage. Showered with affection and establis.h.i.+ng herself in the second world, she had experienced little hards.h.i.+p.
Yet, she had overlooked a crucial truth.
When one ceased to be of utility, abandonment loomed.
Now, it seemed she might have forfeited any claim to the Clan Leader of Blood Clan’s affections, let alone the prospect of inheriting the leaders.h.i.+p position.
All due to the lingering enmity between her and the Clan Leader of the Demon Clan.
Her lapse in judgment had proven costly.
In the intervening period…
