She refrained from employing her spiritual energy but exhibited no mercy whatsoever. Channeling her utmost strength, the whip struck the face of the human who had lashed out at the Demon Clan. Under the impact of the whip, flowers of bruises blossomed across the human’s face. The heavy mark of the whip left a blood-red imprint, flesh overturned and blood seeping from the wound, spanning from his face to his body.

The sudden strike left the human writhing in agony on the ground, his wails echoing, drained of the strength to resist.

The rescued Demon Clan members stared at Gu Chaoyan in disbelief. In the absence of the Demon Clan Leader for a millennium, demons had plummeted to the lowest echelon in the second world. Many were enslaved like this, and throughout the years, both their fellow Demon Clans and the inhabitants of the Demon Clan City never intervened. The Demon Clanspeople had resigned themselves to their fate.

Unexpectedly, someone had taken action.

Uncertain whether to feel grat.i.tude or urge her to leave swiftly, the Demon Clan member hesitated. Stirring up trouble outside was the last thing the Demon Clan needed.

Attempting to intervene, it was already too late. Other humans rushed forward, seeking retribution.

Gu Chaoyan gripped the whip firmly, honing her hand speed through combat training. Her movements were swift, striking unseen. Each whip descended with precision. The humans were soon covered in wounds, resembling the Demon Clan members who had endured prolonged las.h.i.+ngs.

In less than an hour, all the humans lay injured on the ground, while only one among the group of Demon Clan members had retaliated.

“Sister, you’re incredible. These wretched humans deserve a beating to death. This is too lenient. In my opinion, we should rip out their hearts and bring them back to our Demon Clan,” the Dao Child of the Demon Clan stated, his eyes flas.h.i.+ng with a bloodthirsty glint, clearly contemplating such action.

Gu Chaoyan maintained her silence. While these individuals might deserve death, the brutality they were subjected to seemed excessive. Despite her reservations, she refrained from intervening.

Initially unafraid, the injured humans a.s.sumed the Demon Clan woman wouldn’t dare to kill them outright, fostering a sense of peace. However, upon hearing about their connection to the Demon Clan City, fear gripped them, causing visible trembling.

Though officially called the Demon Clan City, it was more accurate to refer to them as descendants of the ancient Demon Clan, residing in the now-empty ancient city due to the absence of their Clan Leader.

“We were wrong; we were merely following orders,” the humans pleaded, kneeling before Gu Chaoyan. “Please let us go. We’ll never dare harm the Demon Clan again.”

Their sincerity echoed through their words, accompanied by miserable pleas.

Yet, Gu Chaoyan remained silent.

Demon Clan members who were once captive attempted to intervene, advising, “Enough. This serves as a warning, and they won’t repeat such actions. We appreciate the concern of the Demon Clan City for our sect. However, with the Clan Leader’s prolonged absence, the Demon Clan City faces challenges. It’s better not to draw undue attention and trouble.”

“The Clan Leader of Demon Clan has been missing for a thousand years…”
