Though it appeared she had successfully navigated the initial scrutiny,
the disparity from the former Clan Leader was too evident, leaving lingering suspicions among the observers.
“Clan Leader, everything in the clan will now be under your command,” eagerly declared the Demon Clan’s Dao Child, seemingly impatient to relinquish control.
“The Clan Leader has only just returned; let’s proceed gradually. There’s no need to rush. The Clan Leader shouldn’t exhaust themselves so soon,” cautioned the First Elder of the Demon Race. He added, “Clan Leader, where have you been for the past thousand years? Have you gained anything during your absence?”
The question was born out of concern and a desire to understand the situation, crucial for informed judgment.
Gu Chaoyan hesitated.
Where had she spent the last millennium? What had she accomplished? How could she articulate her experiences?
“I have been cultivating, yes, cultivating,” she replied.
“Clan Leader, has your cultivation surpassed its previous level?” inquired the First Elder.
Suppressing a laugh, Gu Chaoyan grappled with the challenge of explaining her significant advancement to a half-step Golden Immortal.
Unable to provide a satisfactory answer, she chose silence.
Her reluctance to speak prompted the Demon Clan’s Dao Child to intervene. Stepping forward, he confronted the First Elder, “Old man, why are you pressuring my sister? You know why she disappeared. Do you still doubt her? Why are you interrogating her like this?”
The First Elder glanced helplessly at the Dao Child of the Demon Clan.
Despite his youth, the Dao Child wielded formidable cultivation, and he was known for his cautious nature, never erring in critical decisions within the Demon Clan.
However, when it came to the Clan Leader, his protectiveness and bias became unmistakably apparent.
Given the prolonged absence of the Clan Leader, skepticism and concern pervaded the clan.
“The Clan Leader has been missing for quite some time. He’s merely expressing concern and seeking answers,” explained the First Elder.
“Don’t inquire too much. If questioning harms my sister’s Dao Seeking, I won’t let you off,” retorted the fiercely protective Dao Child.
“I appreciate your consideration,” conceded the First Elder after receiving the Dao Child’s defense.
“Don’t worry; the situation remains as it was within the 500 meters. I still have unresolved matters and may need to depart, making it an inopportune time to assume clan leadership,” Gu Chaoyan explained.
“Sister, you still want to leave? I won’t allow it. Last time, you were absent for a thousand years. Now, I won’t permit it. There are many tasks in the clan. Even if you don’t care about me, you must consider their welfare,” protested the Dao Child vehemently upon hearing her intention to leave.
“Let’s not discuss this for now. I’m not feeling well, so I’ll go back to rest,” Gu Chaoyan announced, preparing to leave.
“Worry not, Sister; come down quickly,” urged the concerned Dao Child.
With a determined effort, Gu Chaoyan descended the stairs, the exertion draining her spiritual power and leaving her fatigued.
She planned to slip away discreetly, a strategy she executed with surprising speed, eluding even the pursuing Dao Child.
The First Elder intercepted the Dao Child who couldn’t catch up, cautioning, “Dao Child, do you genuinely believe she is the Clan Leader? Aren’t you afraid of jeopardizing everything?”
