It seemed as if she could only ascend if she expressed satisfaction.

The height was daunting, and even if she desired to ascend, a method had to be devised.

Gu Chaoyan was on the verge of tears.

Fortunately, she possessed numerous Dharma treasures within her spatial storage.

Otherwise, she would have been at a loss.

Upon entering the Supreme Sect, there would be an array formation facilitating the ascent to the towering Supreme Sect.

She had to ascend.

A similar array formation had to be devised.

Stepping onto the node of the array formation, a secret known only to her, she began the process.

The individuals from the Demon Clan likely couldn’t discern the intricate workings of the array.

Gu Chaoyan constructed the array formation using her spiritual energy, calming herself as she advanced steadily toward the Demon Clan Leader’s throne.

With each step, her complexion grew paler.

Although she employed an array formation, it relied on her spiritual power for support.

After a considerable duration, she finally ascended, coercing herself to settle upon the throne of the Clan Leader of the Demon Clan. She surveyed the Demon Clan elders below with a composed demeanor.

Gu Chaoyan had no knowledge of the Demons and the Clan Leader of the Demon Clan’s appearance.

Ignorance could easily unveil her true ident.i.ty.

It was in her words, actions, and att.i.tude.

Thus, the less she said and did, the fewer opportunities for errors.

To remain inconspicuous, she opted to speak and act sparingly.

Regardless, she now held the position of the Clan Leader of the Demon Clan, so maintaining a reserved silence was only fitting. Even if the Clan Leader’s demeanor was different before her disappearance, it could be attributed to the changes wrought by a thousand years.

Thus, Gu Chaoyan continued sitting there as a matter of course.

Suddenly, an exuberant voice echoed, “See, I told you this is our Clan Leader. You didn’t believe me.”

“The moment I laid eyes on her, I knew she was the Clan Leader.”

Gu Chaoyan turned her gaze towards the source of the voice, discovering a handsome young man speaking. However, his demeanor did not match his appearance.

Despite his good looks, there was a touch of surliness to his personality.

That was the only word Gu Chaoyan could conjure.

Fortunately, this individual believed in her. Otherwise, she would have found this situation exceedingly challenging. If he harbored suspicions, her exposure would have been imminent.

Gu Chaoyan breathed a sigh of relief.

Her future life in the Demon Clan seemed promising with this individual’s trust.

The few elderly individuals below appeared somewhat embarra.s.sed.

It wasn’t their desire to doubt the Clan Leader, but the Clan Leader had vanished for a millennium. Her sudden return, discovered by the clan, left them with little choice but to harbor suspicions.

The current Demon Clan had evolved, necessitating caution in every aspect.

Many eyes were watching, eager to dismantle the Demon Clan and seize the last vestiges of advantage.

Who knew if this was a trap?

The Elders exchanged slight head shakes.

While the prospect of having the Clan Leader back would undoubtedly bring joy, there was uncertainty.

She might not share their enthusiasm.

Despite her successful ascension to the position of Clan Leader, she lacked the usual confidence. The familiar aura of pride was notably absent.

Although unable to discern that familiar demeanor, lingering doubts persisted in their minds.

Yet, acknowledgment was now unavoidable.

“Greetings, Clan Leader!”

“Don’t worry; what is the current state of the clan?” Gu Chaoyan inquired.

As the saying goes, “Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles.”

Understanding the Demon Clan’s current circ.u.mstances was imperative before she could sustain the charade.
