She regarded them with a forced smile.
They appeared elated and brimming with enthusiasm. “Clan Leader! The elders have returned and eagerly await your presence. They were originally engaged in external affairs, but upon learning of your return, they hastily made their way back to Demon Clan City. With your presence, everything within our Demon Clan can be deliberated, and improvents are certain.”
Their joy was palpable.
Gu Chaoyan, who had a penchant for at, found it impossible to reciprocate the smiles. The weight of the Demon Clan matters pressed upon her; how could she muster a laugh?
She comprehended the current predicant of the Demon Clan and the genuine Clan Leader.
As a re half-step Golden Immortal, what contribution could she make or what assistance could she provide to the Demon Clan?
It was a fantastical notion.
Gu Chaoyan felt burdened, and even the abundant spiritual energy of the second world failed to alleviate her unease.
She followed them down to the discussion venue.
Arriving at the gathering of Demon Clan elders, those seated below were all venerable mbers of the Demon Clan.
At the pinnacle, the seat was reserved for the Clan Leader of the Demon Clan—now occupied by Gu Chaoyan.
“Clan Leader, ascend. This is your rightful position. The Demon Clan City has stood for centuries, and this seat has always remained vacant. Little did we expect that the Clan Leader could claim it so swiftly now. The new Demon Clan City has accorded you the sa high status as the old one. Given your preference for elevated positions, the Clan Leader’s seat has been constructed at an advanced level, matching your preference,” conveyed the black-robed individual who had escorted her.
This person, seemingly not even a thousand years old, displayed an innate reverence for the Clan Leader of the Demon Clan, instilling a trace of trepidation in Gu Chaoyan upon eting his gaze.
So…
She was more afraid of this position.
The Clan Leader of the Demon Clan apparently had a fondness for elevated positions.
‘How do I ascend?’
Certainly, she couldn’t use Sword Kinesis Flight, could she?
“Clan Leader, ascend quickly and assess whether you’re content. If there’s anything unsatisfactory, we can make adjustnts,” the individual urged.
Should she ascend and inspect?
It seed she had to traverse the distance by foot?
How were they supposed to manage that?
The seat was at least five ters high.
‘Walking on air?’
Was this Clan Leader of the Demon Clan not a bit abnormal?
At this mont, the Demon Clan elders and the black-robed individuals all scrutinized her intently.
Gu Chaoyan forced a smile.
She contemplated giving up altogether.
These elders, seated below and observing her, could there be any other expectations?
They likely intended to test her authenticity as the fiend, the patriarch of the demon race.
After all, the Clan Leader of the Demon Clan had vanished for a thousand years. Her sudden reappearance naturally aroused suspicions.
To pass a certain test and be acknowledged, she had to ascend and occupy the Demon Clan Leader’s throne.
Gu Chaoyan subtly shook her head and compelled herself to make the attempt.
After all, if she failed to ascend, the stern-faced individuals present would likely not let her off easily.
However…
For ordinary cultivators without the aid of Sword Kinesis Flight, ascending without a powerful cultivation was nearly impossible.
Being only a half-step Golden Immortal, ascending with such limited cultivation was out of the question.
Then…
How was she going to ascend?
A sense of dread settled over Gu Chaoyan’s face.
“Clan Leader, what’s the matter? Don’t you like your seat? Why aren’t you going up? The elders are eagerly awaiting your presence,” the individual inquired.
