Chapter 1258 Yuanʼs Plan

1258 Yuanʼs Plan

”Hey! You can all cease your training now!” The Managerʼs voice boomed, echoing across the entire mountaintop.

A few minutes later, the entire Demon Sealing Faction assembled before her, each of them bearing the marks of their intense training, with bruises and bloodied clothes as evidence of their hard work.

”Did something happen, Manager?” Wang Ming asked her.

”Nothing really, but your leader has returned.”

”Leader? Yuan? Heʼs back?” Chu Liuxiangʼs eyes flickered with excitement upon hearing this information.

”Yes, and heʼs waiting for you guys back at the house, so you guys are done for today.”

”Thank you for today, Manager.” They said to her before rushing back to the house.

Sometime later, back at the house.

”Yuan!” Chu Liuxiang rushed at Yuan and tossed her body onto him without hesitation.

”Itʼs been a while, Liuxiang. Everyone.” Yuan greeted them with a calm smile.

”Welcome back, Yuan.” Meixiu was the first to respond, her face with a gentle smile.

”Iʼm back. Sorry, it took a little longer than expected.”

”Luckily, you came back at just the right time. If youʼd come back even a little later, we wouldʼve had to act without you.” Wang Ming said.

”Is this about the Ten Great Families?” Yuan asked.

”You knew?” They looked at him with wide eyes.

”Not the whole story. Meifeng told me the Ten Great Families are trying to cause trouble, but thatʼs all.”

”And now that weʼre all here, I will tell you the whole story,” Meifeng said.

”I think it can wait a little longer.” Yuan chuckled, and he pointed at the others, ”They should probably get cleaned first.”

”Sorry! We wonʼt take long!”

Everyone there quickly scrambled back to their rooms to wash themselves.

Sometime later, once everyone returned, they all sat around the dining table.

”Now that everyone is here, allow me to begin,” Meifeng said as she brought out a laptop and a projector.

”As Iʼve already told you, the Ten Great Families are targeting you, Yuan. While you were still away, I received a call from Bai Lihua, who warned us about the Ten Great Familiesʼ plan— that they plan on working together to go after you and your Exile.”

”My Exile? Xiao Hua?” Yuan raised an eyebrow upon hearing this news, and he immediately understood the situation.

”I see… So that person mustʼve been from the Ten Great Families, and heʼs seeking revenge for what happened…” Yuan sighed out loud.

”Hm? What are you talking about? Did you already encounter the Ten Great Families?” Chu Liuxiang asked him.

He nodded and recalled to them what happened recently, ”Right after I left the Nameless Emperorʼs Tomb, we were approached by an Exile, who tried to rob and kill us. In the end, my Exile killed this Exile. Of course, this Exile had a partner, who hid the entire time. He mustʼve been from the Ten Great Families.”

”Everything makes sense now… But to make the Ten Great Families work together, it could only be the work of one person— Xiong Lu. Heʼs a very famous player who dominated many games, and the Xiong Family is also currently ranked first in the Legacy Ranking.” Meifeng said.

She proceeded to show Yuan the recruitment announcement made by them.

”They are also gathering Exiles from around the world now. Unfortunately, we donʼt know how common Exiles are or how many have joined Xiong Lu.”

Yuan closed his eyes and began pondering silently.

Eventually, Wang Bingbing asked, ”So, what do you think we should do, Yuan? We had a few ideas about fighting back, but weʼve decided to wait for your return before we act.”

Yuan opened his eyes and smiled, ”Itʼs quite simple— thereʼs no need to do anything.”

”Excuse me?”

Everyone there looked at him with wide eyes.

”No matter how many Exiles theyʼve gathered, they wonʼt be able to do anything to me.” Yuan calmly said.

”Seriously…? Youʼre that confident?” Wang Bing muttered in a dazed voice.

”Your strength mustʼve increased significantly during the last six months.” Li Jinxi said, her gaze filled with anticipation for some reason.

”Well, Iʼm still stuck at Peak Spirit King, but I have improved on everything else.”

”So you donʼt plan on doing anything about the Ten Great Families?” Xi Murong asked.

”Actually, I do have a plan up my sleeves.”

”Whatʼs the plan?” They all looked at him with anticipation.

”Iʼm going to visit them once they fully gather their force,” he casually revealed.

”Youʼre what?!”

”Wouldnʼt it be better for you to visit them before they gather their force?” Meifeng couldnʼt help but ask.

”It wouldnʼt be as convincing if I did that. In fact, they will most likely start making excuses and continue causing more trouble later.”

”Convincing? What are you trying to convince them of?”

After a slight pause, Yuan spoke with a grim smile, ”Iʼm going to convince them that no matter what they do, they will not be able to touch me.”

Everyone there swallowed nervously as they subconsciously began to wonder what Yuan was going to do to the Ten Great Families.

”Anyways, letʼs put the Ten Great Families aside for now and catch up on our own lives. I see that you guys have been training hard for the past half a year— to the point where youʼve all caught to up my cultivation.”

”Itʼs mostly thanks to the Lordʼs assistance.” Wang Ming said. ”Without his help, as well as the Managerʼs training sessions, we wouldnʼt have been able to reach Spirit Grandmaster so quickly.”

”Liya also helped you guys? Now thatʼs shocking.”

”Is it really? Sheʼs actually really nice once you get to know her. Though, she does have trouble being honest with herself at times.” Wang Bingbing smiled.

”Her training is brutal, too. I swear I almost died a few times— just this month alone.” Shi Lang sighed.

”Yuan, tell us about the Nameless Emperorʼs Tomb! I want to hear about your adventures!” Chu Liuxiang suddenly requested.

He nodded, ”Okay.”

Thus, Yuan began recalling his experience within the Nameless Emperorʼs Tomb to everyone.
