Chapter 2480 Too Dangerous to Be Left Alive

When the Demon Sealers pointed at Yuan, the Seventh Heavenʼs Demon Sealers began sweating profusely, not knowing how to introduce him without sounding suspicious.

However, Yuan completely ignored them and walked away, acting like they werenʼt together.

”Huh? He wasnʼt with you guys?”

They silently shook their heads.

”Anyway, what happened to the Demonic Realm and the others?”

After a moment of silence, one of them finally gave in and revealed, ”We were ambushed by demons.”

”What?!”

”Why would the demons appear now of all times?!”

”I donʼt know, but it definitely wasnʼt a coincidence that they attacked at such a crucial time. Someone in the clan must have told them.”

”Y-You—! Are you saying that a Demon Sealer has betrayed humanity, being a spy for the demons?! Thatʼs a grave accusation!”

”Iʼm aware, but aside from the Demon Sealers and the Celestial Emperor, no one else even knows about the situation concerning the Demonic Realm. Or are you suggesting that the Celestial Emperor—”

Before he could finish, someone hastily covered his mouth and hissed in a lowered voice, ”Bastard! Are you trying to offend the Heavens?! Thereʼs no way the Celestial Emperor would ever aid the demons!”

”So what happened afterward?”

”Although we had a lot of casualties, we managed to stop the demons from destroying the seal.”

”I see… Itʼs unfortunate that we lost so many Demon Sealers during such a critical period, but youʼve done well.”

The Demon Sealers merely shook their heads and sighed, not even bothering to ask how many demons had appeared. In their eyes, if the Demon Sealers of the Seventh Heaven had been capable of handling the situation, then the number of demons couldnʼt have been too significant.

Unbeknownst to them, the number of demons that had appeared was in the thousands—a force so overwhelming that even the full strength of the Demon Sealing Clan would have struggled to contain it.

”So what about the Demonic Realm itself? What about the seals?”

They proceeded to ask about the most important subject again.

After a moment of silence, the Demon Sealers of the Seventh Heaven responded, ”The seal was fixed.”

”Fixed?! By whom?”

”Sorry, but we donʼt know. He appeared out of nowhere, fixed the seal, and then vanished again like a ghost.” The Demon Sealers lied without batting an eye, clearly willing to say anything necessary to keep the Divine Paragonʼs return a secret.

Meanwhile, the other Demon Sealers stood frozen like statues, bewildered expressions on their faces as they struggled to process the nonsense theyʼd just heard.

Who could possibly fix the seals besides the Divine Paragon? And how reliable were the seals?

”How—”

”OOOOH!”

Suddenly, a loud commotion burst from the spectatorsʼ stands behind them, startling everyone present.

Inside the Valley of Demons, after several hundreds of exchanges between Yan Hara and Demon Emperor Carnage, it was clear who had the advantage.

Demon Emperor Carnage looked at his right arm, which had just been sealed, with a deep frown on his face.

”Whatʼs wrong, you fiend? I thought you were going to devour me,” Yan Hara remarked with a mocking smile on her face.

”I see that I have underestimated you—”

”You wonʼt be able to defeat me,” Yan Hara interrupted.

”What was it called? Demon Emperor Nightmare? That demon was much stronger than you.”

”Demon Emperor Nightmare?!” Demon Emperor Carnageʼs eyes widened at this nostalgic name.

”Youʼve fought against Nightmare?! Thatʼs impossible! He was sealed by the Divine Paragon ages ago!”

Yan Hara shrugged, not willing to put in the effort to explain.

Demon Emperor Carnage narrowed his eyes.

”I have changed my evaluation of you,” he said in a low voice. ”Although youʼre not as ridiculous as the Divine Paragon, youʼre still too dangerous to be left alive.”

He retrieved a crimson-colored marble and crushed it, shattering it into countless fragments.

”What the hell are you…”

Yan Haraʼs body stiffened when she sensed multiple powerful presences suddenly appearing nearby.

One… five… ten…

In the blink of an eye, over a hundred demons surrounded Yan Hara, all of them at least a Superior Demon.

”W-What is happening?! Why are there suddenly so many high-ranking demons?!”

The spectators were left utterly stunned by the sheer number of demons that had appeared—far exceeding what should have existed within the event.

”A trap! Itʼs a trap! Those bastards are trying to kill Senior Yan!” Her supporters shouted in disbelief as they grasped the situation. Without hesitation, they drew their weapons and charged toward the portal leading to the Valley of Demons.

However, Qian Chuʼs supporters swiftly reacted and blocked their path to the portal.

”Stop! What do you think youʼre doing?!” ”I should be asking you that! Why are you blocking us?!”

Yet, Qian Chuʼs supporters offered no explanation and continued to block them.

Realizing that the others had no intention of allowing them to assist Yan Hara, her supporters immediately made their move, attacking without hesitation.

Meanwhile, the audience could only watch in stunned bewilderment, utterly unprepared for such an abrupt turn of events.

Before long, the audience began fleeing the venue, afraid that the situation would spiral out of control and drag them into the conflict as well.

”Meixiu, we should leave as well. Thereʼs no telling what will happen from here,” Keling said to her.

Meixiu remained silent for a moment before giving a small nod. ”Letʼs go.”

However, just as she rose to leave with her master, her entire body suddenly stiffened, her gaze locking onto a certain masked figure wearing full black in the crowd.

Although many people there wore masks, something about this individual inexplicably stood out to her.

”Meixiu? Whatʼs wrong?” Keling stopped after taking a few steps upon realizing that Meixiu had suddenly frozen in place.

However, Meixiu gave no response, her eyes fixed ahead as though lost in a trance.

Seeing this, Keling followed her line of sight toward the masked individual, who stood there calmly watching Yan Hara on the display with an almost eerie stillness.
