    When Gu Chaoyan halted at this spot, she had already sensed the absence of any lingering aura, leading her to believe that this location was secure. Hence, she stood there in tranquility.


    Little did she anticipate the presence of someone else.


    Moreover, she was so close to them that their existence went unnoticed.


    Gu Chaoyan’sughter ceased abruptly.


    Recalling the Dragonman’s earlier remarks, a shadow crossed her expression. ording to the Dragonman, she was merely a half-step Golden Immortal, vulnerable to anyone’s attack.<div>


    Forcing a smile, she turned towards the direction of the voice, intending to offer an exnation.


    The cultivators d in ck robes appeared surprised. Their eyes widened as they fixed their gaze on Gu Chaoyan. “You… you… you…”


    “I… I… What’s wrong with me?” Gu Chaoyan felt a surge of fear. Did she appear intimidating, or was there something rming on her face? Why did these two react this way upon seeing her?


    Confused, she wanted to inquire of the Dragonman about the situation, but the creature remained concealed in her arms, too timid to emerge.


    “n Leader! Why are you here?” eximed the ck-robed cultivators in astonishment.


    n Leader?


    Which n Leader?


    Why were they addressing her as n Leader?


    Until this moment, she had only held the position of n Leader within the Five Elements n. These individuals clearly did not belong to the Five Elements n.


    Referring to her as n Leader.


    Was there a case of mistaken identity?


    “n Leader, we’ve finally found you. Pleasee back with us!” the ck-robed cultivators pleaded.<div>


    Go back?


    Gu Chaoyan was convinced they had mistaken her for someone else.


    Unaware of which n they represented, how could they possibly misidentify their own n Leader?


    Following them back might lead to a fatal encounter with their actual n Leader, jeopardizing her life.


    With a critical mission at hand—her pursuit of revenge against Pei Yueling—she couldn’t afford to risk her life so easily.


    “I have urgent matters to attend to, so I won’t be returning with you. You can head back on your own. I’ll return to the n once my tasks arepleted,” Gu Chaoyan asserted, attempting to extricate herself from the situation.


    Her intention was to slip away immediately.


    “I implore you, n Leader!” The ck-robed individuals knelt down and pleaded, as if bearing a profound grievance. In their eyes, encountering her was akin to long-lost children finally finding their mothers after centuries.


    Though eager to depart, Gu Chaoyan hesitated,pelled by their earnest appeals. “I’ll be heading home soon, don’t worry.”


    “n Leader! It’s been a thousand years since you left. Do youprehend the dire situation of the n? If you don’t return promptly, the fate of our n hangs in the bnce.” Despite having never witnessed the true n Leader from a millennium ago, these individuals were keenly aware of the current plight of their n. If this trend persisted, the Demon n’s existence in the world would be imperiled.


    Throughout the years, the Demon n had tirelessly searched for their n Leader, intensifying their efforts. Their unexpected encounter with her fueled an unswerving determination to bring her back.


    A thousand years?<div>


    She had been absent for a millennium.


    The timeframe sounded oddly familiar, as if she had recently heard a simr tale.


    Now, reality had caught up with that narrative sooner than she anticipated.
