That had always been a perplexing aspect for Gu Chaoyan.

When the Demon Clan relocated from the ancient city hundreds of years ago, there was no intention of returning. It wasnt until she, as the Clan Leader, proved her worth that the desire to return surfaced. Gu Chaoyan couldnt comprehend this s.h.i.+ft in perspective.

Even without the presence of the Clan Leader, the Elders and the Dao Child of the Demon Clan, a.s.suming leaders.h.i.+p roles, should have maintained control over the ancient city of the Demon Clan.

The Dao Child of the Demon Clan was taken aback.

He hadnt antic.i.p.ated his sister raising such a question.

Wasnt the ancient city of the Demon Clan her city? Did she not understand the significance?

Perhaps, he wondered, had she always resided in the Demon Clans ancient city, her cultivation perpetually formidable, rendering her unaware of these circ.u.mstances?

Puzzled, he explained earnestly, Sister, have you forgotten? The ancient city of the Demon Clan relies on your cultivation to activate its protective barrier. Furthermore, the entire city depends on your cultivation to function. Without you in the ancient city of the Demon Clan, we can only sustain our connection with the Yu Meng for a limited timeabout a hundred years. As time progresses, the pervasive miasma of the ancient city becomes insurmountable. Thats why we established the Demon Clan City, a place to reside when youre not present.

Shock overcame Gu Chaoyan.

She hadnt forgotten; she was entirely unaware.

Dependent on the Clan Leader of the Demon Clans cultivation?

Returning was impossible, regardless.

At her current cultivation levela mere half-step Golden Immortalstepping into the Demon Clans ancient city would likely prove fatal, given the toxic miasma, let alone sustaining its functions.

Gu Chaoyan shook her head and said, Hold off on that for now.

In the Human Clan Leaders mansion, you witnessed that my cultivation appears significantly enhanced, but its misleading. While practicing Energy Deviation, my overall cultivation has suffered. I can vanish into thin air, but the core cultivation is compromised. Im concerned Gu Chaoyan conveyed with a hint of sadness, hoping the Dao Child of the Demon Clan would comprehend and abandon the idea, perhaps even dissuading others.

The Dao Child of the Demon Clan had already contemplated these matters, understanding they were issues the Demon Clan would eventually confront.

He smiled. Sister, I understand.

His sisters cultivation must have suffered damage.

Knowing her sisters nature, she would have personally dealt with the Human Clan Leader rather than letting him off easily.

The reason for raising this concern was not due to a belief that it should be so, but because the First Elder and others had officially acknowledged Gu Chaoyan as their sister. With this acknowledgment, the return to the Demon Clans ancient city was imminent.

Sister, dont worry. The ancient city of the demon race doesnt require your personal cultivation. It stands for every Clan Leader of the demon race. As long as you hold the position of Clan Leader of the Demon Clan, the ancient city will naturally restore itself, comforted the Dao Child of Demon Clan.

Upon hearing his words, Gu Chaoyans expression turned even more distressed and anxious.

No need for personal cultivation?

That meant the ancient city recognized humans solely through the Clan Leader of the Demon Clan.

Her predicament seemed dire.

She wasnt the authentic Clan Leader of the Demon Clan, yet she bore an uncanny resemblance to one.
