Chapter 605 - 599 Holy City
The next day.
The entire Shadow Demon Clan was in turmoil, for their esteemed young lady had vanished. As the jewel in the crown of the Shadow Demon Clan, Zi Ying’s status was extraordinary. She was not only the goddess worshiped by numerous young members of the clan but also the heir to the next clan leader. Her sudden disappearance was undoubtedly a major event for the Shadow Demon Clan.
However, the panic did not last long and soon subsided, as the main character of the event, Zi Ying, returned safely.
In the Clan Leader’s residence, within the council hall.
"Zi Er, what happened last night? I heard from the Second Elder that you were abducted? Are you injured?" the Clan Leader of the Shadow Demon Clan, named Tian Xing, was a Second Grade Demon Saint.
"Oh? How would the Second Elder know that I had been abducted?"
Zi Ying’s gaze sharpened slightly as she looked intensely at the Second Elder.
"I just happened to be passing by there yesterday and heard some noise in your room. By the time I got there, it was already too late," the Second Elder said with a smile, his face revealing no flaws. He had clearly anticipated this turn of events and was fully prepared.
"Who is it? Who is the scoundrel that dares to offend the mighty on their own turf?"
Tian Xing, the Demon Saint, was a hot-tempered man. He was clueless about the underhanded tactics involved; he only wanted to know who was bold enough to lay a hand on his daughter in his territory.
Hearing this, Zi Ying glanced at the Second Elder beside her and then said with a smile, "Indeed, I encountered an attack yesterday, but thankfully someone of high standing helped me. Otherwise, I might really have fallen prey to certain individuals."
