Gu Chaoyan couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
There was a valid reason why the people in this world wors.h.i.+pped this sorcerer. He appeared to possess an uncanny ability to sense and comprehend everything in this realm simultaneously, including her existence and all details about her.
Even when she used her spiritual energy, she no longer cared.
The act of utilizing her spiritual energy meant that she had willingly exposed herself to their scrutiny.
“Then I won’t descend from the Huang Clan mountain. Sorcerer, I have a request for you on behalf of the Five Elements Clan,” Gu Chaoyan conveyed.
“Please proceed,” the sorcerer responded calmly.
“When I encounter the clansmen and they inquire about my whereabouts, I will inform them that an unexpected event occurred. Gary will oversee the clan and the safety of our clansmen, while Aina will handle the day-to-day matters. For now, this is the arrangement. As the clans grow, we will let the clansmen democratically choose their Clan Leader. The more support a candidate gathers from the clansmen, the more likely they are to become the Clan Leader. This will be the new norm from this point forward,” Gu Chaoyan explained cautiously.
After conveying these instructions…
Gu Chaoyan carefully considered and confirmed that there was nothing else to address.
She nodded and added, “That’s all. Please relay the message, sorcerer. Our clansmen will unquestionably follow your guidance, given your status as a sorcerer.”
“Understood,” the sorcerer acknowledged.
“Then I’ll take my leave.” Before departing, Gu Chaoyan bowed to the sorcerer and expressed her grat.i.tude.
The sorcerer responded with a smile.
Gu Chaoyan left.
The sorcerer approached Adams and spoke, “Let’s descend from the mountain.”
Adams surveyed the surroundings but couldn’t find Xuelai. Surprise etched his expression.
Having seen Xuelai heading towards the sorcerer earlier, he a.s.sumed she would be with him now. However, in the sorcerer’s presence, Xuelai was conspicuously absent. An uneasy feeling crept over Adams.
“Where’s Xuelai?” he inquired.
“She left,” the sorcerer replied bluntly.
“Left? Where did she go? Did she descend the mountain ahead of us?” Adams, bewildered, failed to grasp the situation and grew increasingly fl.u.s.tered.
“She won’t be returning. Keep today’s events to yourself. That’s all,” the sorcerer stated firmly.
Adams’ heart sank.
He comprehended the implications of her absence.
Perhaps on some level, he had sensed this outcome, but he had never truly accepted it.
When she dismantled the cold pool, Adams had a vague inkling that Xuelai might not be who she seemed, that she might depart.
Unbelievably, it had turned out to be true.
As Adams descended the mountain with the sorcerer, his steps lacked vigor.
No calamity befell the Thunder Fire Clan and the Five Elements Clan. They patiently waited at the mountain’s base.
Gary and the others spotted the sorcerer and the Thunder Fire Clan Leader returning and eagerly searched for their Clan Leader.
In the next moment, realization struck— their Clan Leader, having received the news, would not be returning.
The Five Elements Clan resonated with mourning and silence.
Gu Chaoyan observed as the sorcerer relayed her words once more.
The moment concluded.
Gu Chaoyan withdrew into the chaotic s.p.a.ce.
The recent scene and the events in that world seemed like a transient dream—alien and unreal.
Furrowing her brow, Gu Chaoyan entered the Chaotic s.p.a.ce for contemplation.
This time…
