“I must entrust the remaining responsibilities of the Demon Clan to you. The First Elder will continue overseeing all clan affairs. Now, a crucial matter requires attention. Once I depart for the Sky Sect, a new Clan Leader may emerge.”

“…”

“I believe it’s imperative to make this decision in my presence,” Gu Chaoyan stated. She needed to personally assess the potential candidates to ensure a smooth transition of leadership within the Demon Clan. Otherwise, even as she ventured to the Sky Sect, she wouldn’t find peace.

“Clan Leader, do you no longer wish to lead our clan?” Some discontented Elders inquired, casting uneasy glances amongst themselves.

Gu Chaoyan was perplexed.

Her intention was to strategize for the betterment of the Demon Clan, yet it seemed as if she were abandoning them.

The confusion deepened for Gu Chaoyan.

Previously, the First Elder had mentioned that the emergence of a new Clan Leader often indicated that the former had either achieved enlightenment and ascended to the Third World or, unfortunately, fallen.

Being in the former category, a new Clan Leader was imminent.

The First Elder, realizing the misunderstanding, clarified, “Clan Leader, in your absence, I will handle the day-to-day affairs of the clan. However, you can still retain your position as Clan Leader. You would be the first to transition directly to the Sky Sect. If you successfully reach the Sky Sect, you can continue as the fiend, the Clan Leader of the Demon Clan, as it holds a unique status.”

Surprise flashed across Gu Chaoyan’s face.

If she had been aware of this nuance, her concerns would have been alleviated.

The Elders chimed in proudly, “Indeed, Clan Leader. Among the past leaders of the Demon Clan, you will be the first to ascend to the Sky Sect. Such an occurrence is rare even among the clans of the second world.”

“…”

“The significance of ascending to the Sky Sect is truly profound. Moreover, you possess considerable autonomy. Hence, you remain our esteemed Clan Leader without any reservations. Entrust the mundane affairs of the clan to us; your position as Clan Leader stands unchallenged. As long as you retain this role, your influence over our Demon Clan remains intact, ensuring our future resilience against any mistreatment.”

“This revelation about the Sky Sect is remarkable.”

Gu Chaoyan was utterly bewildered.

What kind of formidable force was this Sky Sect?

Such information left her completely puzzled.

Had she been aware of this, she wouldn’t have hurried to explain herself. Instead, she would have ventured forth to experience it firsthand.

Gu Chaoyan displayed a helpless expression. “I will adhere to your counsel. I must attend to other matters, so I shall take my leave now. Rest assured, upon my return, I will enforce discipline.”

With those words, Gu Chaoyan resolved to make her way to the Sky Sect promptly, mindful of the limited timeframe for utilizing the Guidance Scroll.

As Gu Chaoyan prepared to depart, the Dao Child of the Demon Clan cast a pitiful glance her way.

Feeling a sense of helplessness, Gu Chaoyan recalled the responsibility she had towards a particular Dao Child within the Demon Clan.

Retrieving a paper crane from her spatial storage, she infused it with her spiritual energy. Handing it over to the Dao Child, she spoke, “This is for you. In my absence, feel free to use it to communicate any concerns.”

The Dao Child of the Demon Clan immediately smiled and expressed his gratitude, “Thank you, Sister.”

Despite its lifeless appearance, the paper crane retained a trace of spiritual energy from Gu Chaoyan, bringing contentment to the Dao Child.

Satisfied with his new possession, the Dao Child of the Demon Clan couldn’t help but boast.

Gu Chaoyan was on the verge of leaving.

Before her departure, she discreetly prepared another paper crane. Without verbalizing its purpose, she allowed the paper crane to gracefully soar in front of the Dao Child of the Demon Clan.
