When Gu Chaoyan halted at this spot, she had already sensed the absence of any lingering aura, leading her to believe that this location was secure. Hence, she stood there in tranquility.

Little did she anticipate the presence of someone else.

Moreover, she was so close to them that their existence went unnoticed.

Gu Chaoyan’s laughter ceased abruptly.

Recalling the Dragonman’s earlier remarks, a shadow crossed her expression. According to the Dragonman, she was merely a half-step Golden Immortal, vulnerable to anyone’s attack.

Forcing a smile, she turned towards the direction of the voice, intending to offer an explanation.

The cultivators clad in black robes appeared surprised. Their eyes widened as they fixed their gaze on Gu Chaoyan. “You… you… you…”

“I… I… What’s wrong with me?” Gu Chaoyan felt a surge of fear. Did she appear intimidating, or was there something alarming on her face? Why did these two react this way upon seeing her?

Confused, she wanted to inquire of the Dragonman about the situation, but the creature remained concealed in her arms, too timid to emerge.

“Clan Leader! Why are you here?” exclaimed the black-robed cultivators in astonishment.

Clan Leader?

Which Clan Leader?

Why were they addressing her as Clan Leader?

Until this moment, she had only held the position of Clan Leader within the Five Elements Clan. These individuals clearly did not belong to the Five Elements Clan.

Referring to her as Clan Leader.

Was there a case of mistaken identity?

“Clan Leader, we’ve finally found you. Please come back with us!” the black-robed cultivators pleaded.

Go back?

Gu Chaoyan was convinced they had mistaken her for someone else.

Unaware of which clan they represented, how could they possibly misidentify their own Clan Leader?

Following them back might lead to a fatal encounter with their actual Clan Leader, jeopardizing her life.

With a critical mission at hand—her pursuit of revenge against Pei Yueling—she couldn’t afford to risk her life so easily.

“I have urgent matters to attend to, so I won’t be returning with you. You can head back on your own. I’ll return to the clan once my tasks are completed,” Gu Chaoyan asserted, attempting to extricate herself from the situation.

Her intention was to slip away immediately.

“I implore you, Clan Leader!” The black-robed individuals knelt down and pleaded, as if bearing a profound grievance. In their eyes, encountering her was akin to long-lost children finally finding their mothers after centuries.

Though eager to depart, Gu Chaoyan hesitated, compelled by their earnest appeals. “I’ll be heading home soon, don’t worry.”

“Clan Leader! It’s been a thousand years since you left. Do you comprehend the dire situation of the clan? If you don’t return promptly, the fate of our clan hangs in the balance.” Despite having never witnessed the true Clan Leader from a millennium ago, these individuals were keenly aware of the current plight of their clan. If this trend persisted, the Demon Clan’s existence in the world would be imperiled.

Throughout the years, the Demon Clan had tirelessly searched for their Clan Leader, intensifying their efforts. Their unexpected encounter with her fueled an unswerving determination to bring her back.

A thousand years?

She had been absent for a millennium.

The timeframe sounded oddly familiar, as if she had recently heard a similar tale.

Now, reality had caught up with that narrative sooner than she anticipated.
