After giving everyone their demon sealing technique, Yuan said to them, "We don’t have much ti before the demons break out of their seal, so we’ll need to prepare ourselves."
"I will begin learning this technique imdiately." Wang Ming said.
Everyone returned to their rooms shortly after and began training their demon sealing techniques.
"What are we going to do now, Yuan?" Chu Liuxiang asked him.
"Prepare. I am going to return to the Demon Sealing Clan’s Grand Library and learn as much about demons as I can. You two should also prepare."
"Okay." They both nodded.
Yuan entered Cultivation Online while everyone else practiced their demon sealing techniques.
After arriving at the Demon Sealing Clan’s Grand Library, Yuan imdiately began looking through manuals about demons to see if he could learn any more weaknesses on demons.
However, there wasn’t any information that he didn’t already know.
"Why are you studying so hard? You’re going to stare a hole in that manual at this rate." A voice suddenly resounded behind Yuan as he was completely absorbed in the manual before him.
He turned around to see Yan Hara standing behind him with a smile on her face.
"You could’ve at least let know that you were back," she said.
"Sorry, I just got back today, and I am in a bit of a hurry."
"Hurry? What’s the rush?"
She glanced at the manual in his hands and mumbled, "Demons?"
"Little founder, are you in trouble... with demons?" She asked him with a frown on her face.
"Well..."
"Where?" Yan Hara’s voice suddenly beca serious.
"I’m sorry, Senior, but even if I told you, you wouldn’t be able to get there. This is a problem that only I can solve."
After a mont of silence, Yan Hara spoke, "Follow ."
"Eh? But—"
"Follow !" She suddenly shouted, causing everyone there to turn and look at them with intrigued gazes.
"O-Okay..." Yuan placed the manual down and followed Yan Hara to a private room.
After shutting the door, Yan Hara pointed at a chair and said, "Sit down."
"Now, tell about your demon trouble. I don’t understand why you’d want to hide this from , but I want to help you," she said to him.
"I am telling you, Senior, even if I told you the truth, you wouldn’t be able to do anything about it because you won’t be able to reach that place with the demons." Yuan sighed.
"Whether I can help or not, I will decide after I hear your explanation."
Yuan sighed, and after a mont of silence, he spoke, "There are so demons that will be breaking out of their seal soon, and I am preparing so that I can deal with them."
"Are you insane?!" Yan Hara suddenly exclaid, and she looked at him with complete disbelief.
"Little founder! Real demons are nothing like the low-grade artificial demons that you have been fighting! They are a real threat and incredibly dangerous! You cannot try to deal with them by yourself, especially when you’re just a Spirit Lord!"
"Tell the location of these demons and I will alert the Demon Sealing Clan."
"They’re in a place called ’Earth’." Yuan calmly responded.
"..."
Yan Hara silently stared at him for a good minute before speaking, "This is not a joking matter, little founder. If we don’t deal with these demons soon, it could spell disaster for the Nine Heavens!"
"I am not joking, and the demons are not located in the Nine Heavens." Yuan stared back at her with a serious face.
"W-What the hell do you an they’re not in the Nine Heavens?" Yan Hara frowned.
"Like I’d said, they’re on a place called Earth, and this place doesn’t belong in the Nine Heavens."
"And I am well aware of how dangerous demons can be. After all, I have already encountered a few of them."
Yan Hara’s eyes widened with shock after hearing Yuan’s confession.
"You... Just who are you, little founder?" She asked him in a low voice.
"You wouldn’t believe even if I told you..." He sighed.
"This place... If it’s not within the Nine Heavens, then it can only be a realm that exists outside of the Nine Heavens. I have always heard rumors that such places exist, but there has never been concrete proof. You... You ca from outside the Nine Heavens?"
Yuan smiled upon hearing her sowhat accurate deduction.
"Sothing like that," he shrugged.
"Unbelievable..." Yan Hara muttered in a flabbergasted voice.
"Now you understand why you— nor the Demon Sealing Clan could help , right? I know you’re worried, but it’s okay, it’s not my first ti fighting— even killing a demon."
"..."
After another long mont of silence, Yan Hara asked, "How... How many demons have you encountered...and killed so far?"
Yuan pondered for a mont to count.
"Uhhh... Six demons?"
He’d killed four in the Mystic Realm, one in the Jaded Garden, and one in the Qi Family.
"S-Six... demons...?" Yan Hara repeated in a dazed voice.
’He’s killed even more demons than ?! How is that possible?! He’s only a Spirit Lord!’ She cried inwardly.
She did not want to believe Yuan, but she couldn’t see any lies within his clear eyes.
"I know six sounds like a lot, but it’s really not, considering how there are dozens of sealed demons that are about to break out of their seals in that world..." Yuan sighed.
"Dozens of sealed demons? Just what kind of world is that? It sounds so ridiculous..." Yan Hara sighed.
"And six demons is a lot! Do you know how many demons the average demon sealers kill?! Zero! Freaking zero! I am one of the top demon sealers in my generation, and I have only killed three demons, which is already considered a freaking miracle! Of course, this is mostly because demons are pretty much extinct... If not for that fact, I would have killed many more demons..." Yuan Hara sighed, trying to justify her low kill count compared to his.
