Chapter 846: The Real Demons’ Valley

”I picked these two treasures.” Yuan showed Yan Hara and the others his new treasures.

”Huh? Only two treasures? That’s not right. You had over 2,000 points!” Yan Hara said with a puzzled look on her face.

”That should be the Demon Sealing Ward, and it was only 200 points the last time I saw it. However, I don’t recognize that ring.”

”I know that ring, but it belonged to the second floor. I’m surprised the old man allowed you to go upstairs since only Master Demon Sealers qualify to go there.” Wan Yu said.

And he continued, ”But why did you choose that treasure out of everything you could’ve picked from that floor? I am going to be honest— you wasted your points on that ring.”

”What kind of demon sealing treasure is that?” Yan Hara asked.

”It’s not really a demon sealing treasure. It is rumored to belong to the Divine Paragon, but there is no real evidence to back up such a rumor. That ring also has a massive amount of demon sealing aura stored within it, but nobody knows how to extract it from the ring. In fact, nobody even knows how to use the ring or what it’s used for.”

”H-How many points did you spend on this ring?” Yan Hara asked Yuan in a nervous voice.

”2,000 points...” He said.

”Two thousand?!” Yan Hara exclaimed.

”Heavens! Little founder, how could you waste so many points on such a worthless ring! That shrewd old man must’ve tricked you into buying it with some bullshit, right?! Come with me! We are going to ask for a refund!”

”Calm down, senior. I was not tricked. I know about the rumors and that nobody knows how to use it.” Yuan quickly said.

”A-And you still purchased it? Why would you do such a thing?” Yan Hara asked with a bewildered look on her face.

2,000 points is no small amount. In fact, this is the first time that someone has acquired this many points, yet he wasted it on a useless ring that has no real practical uses when he could’ve claimed a powerful demon sealing treasure instead? It didn’t make any sense.

”To be completely honest, I don’t know why I got it. I just had a feeling that I needed it.”

”You got it because of a gut feeling...? Unbelievable...” Yan Hara was truly speechless now.

”You know what they say... The more talented they are, the more eccentric. That is why ordinary people can never understand geniuses.” Wan Yu shrugged.

”Whatever...” Yan Hara rubbed her temples and sighed.

”Anyways, if it’s your choice to pick that ring, then I won’t say anything else. I really hope you don’t regret it.”

Yuan nodded.

Sometime later, Yuan walked outside the Grand Library with the other three.

”Senior, I am going to return in a month to challenge the Demon Sealing Pagoda again. I have a feeling that I am going to defeat the fourth floor this time.” Yuan said.

”A month, right? I understand. You have my communication jade slip, anyway.”

”See you later, Yuan.”

After saying their goodbyes, Yuan left the Grand Library and returned to Spirit Heaven.

”Do you really think he has what it takes to remove Qian Chu from his position?” Wan Yu asked the other two afterward.

And he continued, ”I have my own hopes, but I don’t have any expectations.”

”He will, without doubt, become the next leader. I will make sure of it. That has been my goal even before today.” Yan Hara calmly responded.

Tang Zheng then spoke, ”He definitely has the talent, but I don’t know if he’ll have the time...

”In the end, we can only hope that fate will guide him towards the right path.”

After returning to the Myriad of Techniques, Yuan sighed inwardly, ’The Demon Sealing Clan and the Demon Sealing Grotto... How troublesome...’

Even though he said that he will remove Qian Chu from his position, it was much easier said than done. In the end, he can only put that thought behind his mind for now and focus on getting stronger.

Upon leaving the Myriad of Techniques, Yuan was greeted by a dark sky and the same chilling sensation from the Demons’ Valley during the examination.

As he left the narrow alleyway and entered the street, Yuan could hear joyful laughter resounding from the street.

”Did the people of this city finally decide to leave their houses?” Yuan muttered to himself.

Feng Yuxiang appeared beside him and said, ”Please be careful, Young Master. I sense something off about them.”

Yuan nodded as he entered the street with Feng Yuxiang following close behind him.

He looked around to see many masked people dancing and singing on the street, almost as though there was an active festival, but the atmosphere did not feel normal, like there was something eerie about it.

”Young Master, let’s just go straight to the Demons’ Valley.” Feng Yuxiang said to him.

Yuan nodded, ”Yes, let’s go.”

However, right as he was prepared to leave, the people there suddenly stopped dancing, and they all turned to look at him in silence.

Yuan swallowed nervously, and he quickly said, ”Feng Feng, let’s just fly out of here.”

And before the people there could even react, Yuan flew into the sky and disappeared from their view.

Once in the air, Yuan and Feng Yuxiang began flying towards the Demons’ Valley.

”We should be able to see the Demons’ Valley very soon.” Feng Yuxiang said.

Half an hour later, deformed mountains started popping up in the horizon.

Once Yuan could see the Demons’ Valley more clearly, he said, ”This place looks nothing like the Demons’ Valley from the examination...”

Compared to the Demons’ Valley in the Grand Library that had normal-looking mountains, the mountains in this place were mostly deformed, like they had been crushed by giants, and some of them were even riddled with holes.

There was also not a single living tree or blade of grass to be seen, and the miasma was so thick that one could see it with their bare eyes in the form of a red fog that shrouded the Demons’ Valley..
