Ms. Doctor Divine

The atmosphere among the members of the Demon Clan was jubilant.

Gu Chaoyan chose to depart abruptly.

It was exasperating.

No one granted her the opportunity to make a hasty escape.

She yearned to distance herself from the Demon Clan and its people.

Yet, the Demon Clan members perceived her departure as a routine occurrence, in line with the Clan Leader’s customary behavior.

Frustration overwhelmed Gu Chaoyan to the point where she contemplated leaping from the Clan Leader’s quarters.

Meanwhile, the Dragonman, having failed in his escape attempt, remained remarkably composed.

“Leave it to fate. We’ll deal with the situation as it comes,” the Dragonman advised, adopting a philosophical tone, acknowledging the futility of escape.

The method to breach the Demon Clan’s defenses remained elusive.

Escape seemed improbable and risked raising suspicions.

Perhaps it was better to abandon the endeavor altogether.

“Even if you can’t revive the Demon Clan’s ancient city, they won’t take drastic measures. Denying your identity is implausible. They might only harbor suspicions. Claim that you succumbed to Energy Deviation, leaving you devoid of cultivation. Without power, reviving the ancient city is beyond your capability.”

“Even in the worst-case scenario, they won’t harm you. With your resemblance to the Demon Clan’s Clan Leader, they wouldn’t dare take extreme actions.”

Attempting to console her, the Dragonman met Gu Chaoyan’s gaze.

She was aware of his incompetence.

Prepared for the worst, she decided not to open the door for anyone on that day. Blaming her bad mood, she refused to show any courtesy.

It wasn’t until the following day…

Reluctantly, she emerged with a sullen expression.

Throughout this period, Gu Chaoyan appeared visibly distressed.

The imminent revelation of her true identity loomed over her, making everything incredibly awkward.

The Dao Child of the Demon Clan attempted to engage her in light-hearted conversation, hoping to alleviate her stress and bring a smile to her face.

However, Gu Chaoyan remained stoic, refusing to acknowledge the efforts of the Demon Clan’s Dao Child.

It wasn’t until they were on the verge of reaching the ancient city of the Demon Clan that she displayed any reaction.

The ancient city of the Demon Clan differed significantly from the Demon Clan City.

Magnificent and adorned with floating castles supported by black clouds, the ancient city exuded an otherworldly aura.

The current obscurity in the Demon Clan’s ancient city suggested that it had yet to fully recover.

Moreover, the ancient city boasted the formidable Demon Clan Wall.

Gu Chaoyan found herself uncertain of whether she could gain entry, let alone predict the consequences if she succeeded.

She harbored no desire to go at all.

Diverging from the enthusiastic anticipation of others, who eagerly awaited the unfolding events, Gu Chaoyan maintained a lack of enthusiasm.

“What if I cannot revive the ancient city of the Demon Clan? What will you do?” Gu Chaoyan inquired deliberately, seemingly providing herself with an exit strategy.

“Clan Leader, it has been a thousand years, and some things are subject to change.

Accidents can happen. Don’t burden yourself with pressure. Let’s attempt it first. If it doesn’t work, we can discuss it later,” reassured the Dao Child of the Demon Clan, attempting to comfort her.

A sigh of relief escaped Gu Chaoyan’s lips.

Fortunately, the timing was not set in stone.

As Gu Chaoyan and the others neared the ancient city of the Demon Clan, a palpable seriousness gripped their expressions.

They gradually passed through the formidable Demon Clan Wall, entering the desolate ancient city.

However, the arrival of Gu Chaoyan and her companions failed to inject vitality into the defeated ancient city of the Demon Clan.

Seeking answers, Gu Chaoyan turned to observe the expressions of the Dao Child of the Demon Clan and the First Elder. The unchanged state of the ancient city raised doubts in her mind. Had she failed, and was she no longer recognized as the Clan Leader of the Demon Clan?
