“What have we to fear?” questioned the Clan Leader of the Blood Clan, his trust unwavering.

In the Second World, the sole individual he had genuinely submitted to was the Clan Leader of the Demon Clan.

The Clan Leader of the Demon Clan possessed a formidable cultivation level, rendering her impervious to the machinations of the Human Clan.

Gu Chaoyan, reluctantly drawn into the conversation, felt a surge of irritation. Her intense dislike for the Clan Leader of the Blood Clan deepened. Why involve her in this when he could handle it himself? As a half-step Golden Immortal, she was utterly vulnerable to the Clan Leaders present, and her presence only served to expose her.

Gu Chaoyan wore a visibly reluctant expression, and the Dao Child of the Demon Clan keenly perceived it. He positioned himself in front of his sister, prepared to show no mercy to anyone who dared to attack her.

While the Dao Child of the Demon Clan trusted his sister, he wasn’t naïve. Over the thousand years of her absence, she returned with a forced smile, her cultivation level significantly diminished. He sensed her weakened state and deduced it might be connected to the Energy Deviation she experienced during cultivation in the past.

Against the Clan Leader of the Human Clan, his sister might not be a match. Regardless, he was determined not to let his sister face embarra.s.sment.

Gu Chaoyan felt deeply moved by her brother’s protective stance.

The Clan Leader of the Human Clan glanced at the representatives of the Demon Clan and then turned his attention to the Blood Clan Leader. “Do you believe I would persist with this plan if I feared her? What significance does the Clan Leader of the Demon Clan hold? Perhaps a thousand years ago, she had some standing, but now, she is truly inconsequential.”

“Her presence changes nothing.”

Having spoken, the Clan Leader of the Human Clan ingested a pill.

Suddenly, his once abundant spiritual qi surged, enveloping them in a suppressive force.

As they felt it, they realized it was comparable to the Clan Leader of the Demon Clan from the bygone era.

A trace of panic finally flickered across their faces.

Even the Clan Leader of the Blood Clan was taken aback.

What Gu Chaoyan yearned for the most at this moment was to evade and flee.

However…

Given her status, such an action was untenable.

When had the Clan Leader of the Demon Clan ever resorted to escaping?

It was inconceivable.

Fleeing back would undoubtedly arouse suspicion within the Demon Clan, leading to potential complications.

Reluctantly, feeling a surge of guilt, she steeled herself and moved forward.

As the Clan Leader of the Demon Clan and the erstwhile foremost figure in the Second World, she should rightfully lead.

The other Clan Leaders agreed with this notion.

Yet, they didn’t depart; they positioned themselves right behind her.

Gu Chaoyan wasn’t privy to the full extent of the Human Tribe Leader’s might, but she understood that he could extinguish her existence with a mere strand of spiritual energy.

Urgency consumed her as she sought a swift resolution.

Fortunately, she had stashed numerous items in her spatial storage back then.

Among her acquisitions was a talisman, br.i.m.m.i.n.g with potent spiritual energy capable of withstanding an onslaught from the Clan Leader of the Human Clan.

She had to act swiftly.

This initial move served a dual purpose — to intimidate the Clan Leader of the Human Clan and to steady the other Clan Leaders.

The Clan Leader of the Human Clan dismissed her with a lack of concern.

Undeterred, Gu Chaoyan unleashed a surge of spiritual energy, swiftly incorporating the talisman into her sleeve, absorbing the Dao spiritual energy with remarkable speed.

A flicker of surprise crossed the Clan Leader of the Human Clan’s face as he regarded her in astonishment.

Was it possible that the Clan Leader of the Demon Clan hadn’t succ.u.mbed to Energy Deviation, but rather, her cultivation had grown even more profound?

Nevertheless, faced with the current situation, he steeled himself and pressed on.

His potent medicinal pills held the capability to contend with the Clan Leader of the Demon Clan.

Such thoughts occupied the mind of the Clan Leader of the Human Clan.

Just as he prepared to execute his next move…
