Chapter 2530: Demon Clan 63

Taking someone else’s life—what right did she have?

Gu Chaoyan believed in the principle of an eye for an eye. Such actions warranted retribution, and the price for this transgression was a life in return.

Did Pei Yueling think she could escape consequences under the witches’ protection?

Impossible.

Gu Chaoyan had no intention of letting her off easily. Sneering, she refrained from directly revealing the truth. Instead, she intended to expose it before Pei Yueling’s demise.

Initiating a direct assault, Gu Chaoyan startled Pei Yueling, who attempted to flee. At this point, unexpectedly, Pei Yueling, too, had contemplated reconciliation. However, Gu Chaoyan’s attack suggested otherwise, compelling Pei Yueling to escape in earnest.

Activating her escape talisman, Pei Yueling vanished instantly. Aware of her inferiority, she avoided a direct confrontation with Gu Chaoyan, who had rapidly advanced within the Demon Clan. While Pei Yueling reached only the Golden Core realm, Gu Chaoyan, fueled by the resources of the Demon Clan, neared the cultivation level of the Golden Immortal Dao Ancestor in a remarkably brief period.

Recognizing the vast disparity, Pei Yueling wisely chose evasion over direct conflict.

Although Gu Chaoyan contemplated pursuit, she soon realized that Pei Yueling had successfully eluded her. With a resigned sigh, Gu Chaoyan conceded.

“Sister, I’ll chase after her,” declared the Dao Child of the Demon Clan.

“No need, she is already far away,” Gu Chaoyan asserted.

Pei Yueling had already departed, prompting them to vacate this troublesome locale. It was the witches’ territory, and stirring trouble with them was best avoided.

“Let’s go,” Gu Chaoyan directed the Dao Child of Demon Clan.

He nodded, preparing to depart.

However, at that moment…

A figure emerged among the witches.

Clad in white robes, the individual caught Gu Chaoyan’s attention due to a sense of familiarity. It seemed she had encountered this person before.

As she attempted to get a clearer view, the person swiftly turned away, hastening in the opposite direction. Although Gu Chaoyan recognized the back as familiar, she was about to investigate when the Dao Child of Demon Clan intervened. “Sister, if we proceed, we’ll enter the witches’ domain. If they spot us, it won’t bode well. They might even involve the demons. The witches are known for their cunning nature.”

Reluctantly, Gu Chaoyan relented.

Typically, the Dao Child of Demon Clan allowed her to follow her instincts. However, his caution indicated the gravity of the situation, dissuading Gu Chaoyan from risking it solely based on her intuition.

Ultimately, they withdrew from the area.

Concerned, the Dao Child of Demon Clan inquired, “Sister, what happened just now? You seemed to have encountered something ominous.”

“I am fine; I just felt like I recognized someone,” Gu Chaoyan replied, her thoughts in disarray.

“But that person? His cultivation is immeasurable. Even I lack confidence in facing him. He appears to hold a significant position among the witches. Sister, do you truly know him?” the Dao Child of Demon Clan queried.

“Not necessarily,” Gu Chaoyan admitted uncertainty, as the man shouldn’t be present in that uncivilized world.

Fortunately, the Dao Child of Demon Clan prevented her from advancing further.
