Chapter 2534: Demon Clan 67

Editor: Henyee Translations

Anyone attempting to defy this rule would inevitably face consequences. If the witches intended to attack the Demon Clan to pursue someone, they would have to pay a price – a cost they surely understood how to calculate.

Reading the witches’ reactions, Gu Chaoyan discerned their reluctance to escalate the situation.

Now aware of their intentions, Gu Chaoyan felt a sense of relief.

“I can agree, but I have conditions.”

“As a prominent clan in the second world, our Demon Clan allows you to search for individuals freely, but you must compensate us for the risks we undertake,” Gu Chaoyan declared.

“That’s acceptable. Frankly, our witches have prepared numerous pills, Dharma artifacts, and enchanted armaments as gifts for this matter. Let someone bring them over immediately,” one of the witches responded, already relieved that the negotiation seemed manageable.

However, Gu Chaoyan waved her hand dismissively, signaling that she had no interest in their offerings. She held a certain disdain for pills, Dharma artifacts, and enchanted armaments, deeming them inconsequential to her cultivation within the primal chaos s.p.a.ce.

“No, I haven’t mentioned what I want,” Gu Chaoyan a.s.serted.

Perplexed, the witches turned to Dao Seeking, seeking clarification on the Clan Leader’s demands. They hadn’t antic.i.p.ated that after all the negotiations, the Clan Leader of the Demon Clan would have additional requests.

“I want…” Gu Chaoyan hesitated, her gaze fixed on Pei Yueling. “Her…”

“Firstly, she bears a grudge against the Demon Clan, and it’s imperative she remains unaware of our situation. Additionally, I have a personal score to settle with her, and I believe it’s crucial for me to address it. Knowing that she is not affiliated with the witches, could you consider handing her over to me?” Gu Chaoyan inquired, wearing a courteous smile.

Despite Pei Yueling’s previous a.s.sociation with the witches, the latter did not feel provoked. They didn’t regard Pei Yueling as a member of the witches and saw her as inconsequential.

The witches exchanged glances.

This woman had been picked up along the way, deemed useless by the witches. They didn’t consider her significant, especially since she wasn’t affiliated with their kind. Agreeing to the Clan Leader’s request seemed like a simple resolution.

However…

The sorcerer had expressed a desire to bring Pei Yueling along. Directly letting her go would complicate matters and require explanation to the sorcerers.

Yet, they also wished to avoid unnecessary complications. The Demon Clan held significant sway in the second world, and souring relations with them would be detrimental to both parties.

“She isn’t a member of the witches. However, the sorcerer tasked us with bringing her along. We must consult the sorcerer before reaching a decision,” one of the witches explained.

“I will patiently await your response,” Gu Chaoyan replied with a friendly demeanor, displaying an understanding att.i.tude.

The witches promptly dispatched someone to seek instructions.

Meanwhile, Pei Yueling was astonished. “How dare you! The sorcerers personally a.s.sured me they would bring me along, yet you dare to give me away!” Pei Yueling never expected this turn of events. Fueled by indignation, she sought to confront Gu Chaoyan and demonstrate that she, Pei Yueling, could not be so easily dismissed.

Her shock deepened when the witches agreed to the proposal.

Wasn’t that sorcerer’s word supposed to be binding?

Pei Yueling attempted to leave, but the witches intervened, holding her firmly. “The sorcerer will provide the answer in due time.”
