"Otherwise, I won't afford the Clan Leader of the Blood Clan any respect," the First Elder declared bluntly, casting a disapproving gaze upon Pei Yueling.
"It's true!" Pei Yueling, fearing her words were falling on deaf ears, persisted in her insistence.
The First Elder didn't spare her a second glance as he departed.
Pei Yueling seethed with fury, perplexed by the Demon Clan's unwillingness to heed her clear statements.
Frustrated, she stormed back.
Meanwhile, the First Elder, upon learning of the situation, experienced not suspicion but a deep sense of sorrow.
The Clan Leader had vanished for a millennium.
Throughout that time, the Demon Clan remained oblivious to her whereabouts, receiving no updates.
