Chapter 747 - Inside The Dragon Spiral Mountain

”So your request for us is to deal with these demons, is that correct?” Yuan asked for confirmation.

”Indeed.”

”Okay, I will take care of them.” Yuan nodded his head and agreed to the Lordʼs request.

”Eh?”

A dumbfounded noise echoed from the cave, almost as though the Lord was surprised by his response.

”Is there a problem?” Yuan asked.

”No… I just didnʼt expect you to agree so easily. This is a demon— demons that weʼre talking about. Even the Qi Family is reluctant to fight with demons unless they absolutely have to.” The Lord said.

”Well, what else am I supposed to say? No, I wonʼt help you deal with these demons that could potentially destroy this world? You know, I created the Demon Sealing Faction for a reason. I plan on eradicating every last demon in this world, even if I donʼt get anything out of it.”

After a moment of silence, the Lord spoke again, ”Before you make your decision, I would like you to see something.”

”Manager. Take him ʼinsideʼ the mountain.”

”Inside the mountain!? Are you sure?” The Manager appeared to be shaken by his request.

”He will have to see it eventually since he will be fighting the demons for us, so we might as well let him see the scene and fully understand our situation now. Thereʼs no point in delaying this issue. The demons are going to come out of their seal, and I donʼt trust the Qi Family will be able to handle this calamity by themselves.” The Lord sighed.

”I understand.”

The Manager turned to look at Yuan and said, ”Follow me.”

Yuan nodded and proceeded to follow the Manager, but they did not go the way he had expected. Instead of going back to where they came from, they went to the other side of the mountain, where a hidden path was located.

After walking for about half an hour, they arrived before this cave entrance that was emitting an ominous atmosphere.

”Before we go inside, I must warn you not to touch anything.” The Manager said to him.

”I wonʼt.” He promised.

”Letʼs go.”

They entered the cave a moment later, and after walking for some more, they encountered another entrance, but this one was emitting a menacing aura that would make people reluctant to move forward.

When Yuan felt this forbidding aura, his body got the chills, almost as though it was reacting to it.

After taking a deep breath and swallowing down his nervousness, he followed the Manager into the enclosed area on the other side of the entrance.

”T-This is…” Yuanʼs body shook violently when he realized what he was seeing in this place, and it left him completely speechless.

He could feel multiple emotions flaring up.

Shock, worry, fear, distress, dismay, and above all, powerless.

Meanwhile, in the Chu Family, Senior Qi, who had been sealed for almost an entire day, finally manages to break out of Yuanʼs seal.

She gasped for air after breaking out of her seal, and her body was soaked in cold sweat.

”That little bastard! How could he humiliate me in such a manner?! He actually kept me sealed for so long! Does he not have even a shred of mercy in him?!” She cried in a low voice.

Even though she was sealed, she was fully conscious and awake. It felt like she was in a prolonged sleep paralysis, and no matter what she did, she could not break free from the seal.

She became more and more worried as time went on that she would remain sealed forever.

”S-Senior Qi! Are you okay?!”

Someone from the Chu Family had been stationed there to monitor her condition, and he immediately approached her when he noticed the situation.

”What is the situation now?! Whereʼs Yuan and Liuxiang?!” She shouted in an angry voice.

”T-They left yesterday after causing havoc in the family. Yuan even crippled the Masterʼs cultivation.” The man explained the situation to her.

”What?! He crippled Chu Shijian?! How ruthless!” Senior Qi trembled in fear after learning of this information, and her thoughts of revenge came to a quick halt.

ʼThis man is ruthless and dangerous! If I mess with him anymore, he might kill me!ʼ Senior Qi believed that if Yuan was capable of leaving her sealed— capable of crippling Chu Shijian, then he was also capable of killing her!

”Where is Chu Shijian right now? Take me to him.” Senior Qi said to the man.

”Right away!”

Sometime later, they arrived at Chu Shijianʼs room, where the owner of the room could be seen lying in bed with a sick and frail appearance, and his wife and children were around him, almost like they were at his deathbed.

”Senior Qi… Thank the heavens that youʼre fine.” Chu Shijian said in a relieved voice after seeing her face.

”I was worried that you had died, and I have spent all night thinking about how I should relay this news to your family.”

”What about you? You look like youʼre on your deathbed.” Senior Qi said to him.

”I am fine… Because I suddenly lost all of my cultivation, my body has become frail and pathetic. However, I am not going to die. I should fully recover in a few months.” Chu Shijian said.

”Thatʼs good to hear. But what are you going to do now? Are you going to take revenge?” Senior Qi asked him.

”Haha… Revenge?” Chu Shijian laughed in a low and dispirited voice.

”After losing my cultivation, I stopped caring about many things, and I realized that I could no longer feel some emotions, almost like Iʼd lost them as well. What will I achieve with revenge? Am I going to get my cultivation back if I avenge myself? I donʼt care anymore.”

Senior Qi was speechless. Is Chu Shijian really going to take this massive slap in the face and do nothing about it? However, she understood his feeling a little. After all, she is also feeling hesitant about taking revenge.

”I understand. Anyways, I will be returning to my family now. My family has been unable to calm down since the Jade Gardenʼs incident, and they believe that more demons will soon break out of their seal. If you need me, send me a message, but I may not be available anytime soon..” Senior Qi said.
