Ms. Doctor Divine

Chapter 2471: Demon Clan 3

A tentative smile graced her face, for there was now a ray of hope for escape.

Observing her sudden change, the black-robed individuals felt the tension in their hearts ease.

Initially concerned that the current state of the Demon Clan City might displease the Clan Leader, making her feel they had accomplished nothing in her absence, they were relieved to see her apparent satisfaction. Her mood lifted, and she even offered a genuine smile.

Their anxiety dissolved.

Guiding the Clan Leader to the tallest and grandest spot in the Demon Clan City—a place traditionally reserved for the Clan Leader, left vacant and meticulously maintained throughout the years—they marveled at the unexpected use it would find today.

Upon entering, Gu Chaoyan, wearing an expression of fatigue, uttered, “You may depart now; I need to rest. Do not disturb me until the Elder returns, understood?”

Initially prepared to detail the matters concerning the Demon Clan City, the black-robed cultivators were taken aback by the Clan Leader’s apparent weariness.

“Understood, Clan Leader,” they responded after a brief pause.

Gu Chaoyan nodded reassuringly. “You may leave now.”

Reluctant to depart, these individuals had countless matters to discuss with the Clan Leader after their prolonged separation.

Regrettably, their only choice was to exit for the time being.

As they departed, Gu Chaoyan found herself alone in the room.

Finally, she let out a sigh of relief.

She acknowledged that navigating this situation had been far from simple.

Closing the door behind her, Gu Chaoyan swiftly brought the Dragonman out of hiding.

“Let’s figure out how to escape. You’re familiar with the second world, but I’m not,” Gu Chaoyan stated. “The Demon Clan has a sparse population at the moment. With careful planning, our escape should be relatively straightforward.”

The Dragonman gazed at her in silence, questioning the bizarre stroke of fortune that seemed to follow this woman.

Setting aside her luck, she now held the title of Clan Leader of the Demon Clan? Even if she wasn’t, she undeniably bore an uncanny resemblance to the Demon Clan’s leader. With this identity, she could navigate the second world with ease.

The Dragonman could only marvel at her extraordinary luck.

“Escape? Don’t even entertain the thought,” the Dragonman asserted bluntly. “Why are you acting so foolishly in the Second World?”

“Your safest bet is to stay put. Escaping is a dead end.”

“Haven’t you heard what those Demon Clan people said?”

“Most demons are scouring the entire second world looking for you. Even if you manage to escape, they’ll track you down swiftly. If it’s demons who find you, you’ll likely end up back in their devil city. Encountering members of other clans will spell certain death. The Clan Leader of the Demon Clan is formidable; no matter how dire the demons’ circumstances, no one dares to provoke them. But what happens if the Clan Leader of the Demon Clan is absent?”

“If they encounter you, they might just decide to kill you,” the Dragonman bluntly reminded, lacking any trace of courtesy. “The Clan Leader of the Demon Clan is immensely powerful. I’m guessing everyone in the Second World knows about them, right?”

Upon hearing these words, Gu Chaoyan stumbled and collapsed onto the ground.

‘What does this mean?’

Was she now marked and restricted throughout the second world?

It seemed like her only option was to continue masquerading as the Clan Leader of the Demon Clan her sole recourse.

What crime had she committed?

“Why are you so unwilling to act? If you assume the role of the Clan Leader of the Demon Clan, it could work to your advantage. It would make it much simpler for you to exact revenge on that woman.”
