Cultivation Online Chapter 822 - A Nasty Individual

Chapter 822 A Nasty Individual

"Because you allowed the Demon Emperor to get away, who knows how many innocent lives would be lost now. And you did this all for what...? To fight this ’Ancient’ thing?" Yuan muttered in a low voice as he stared at the Divine Paragon’s statue.

In his eyes, the statue suddenly turned into the real Divine Paragon, and he spoke, "Ancients are the peak of the demon race. Above Demon Emperors are Ancient Demons, but they are not true ’Ancients’. Ancients are the first demons to have ever existed, and they all possess something all lower demons desire complete control over their emotions."

"In other words, they don’t have these random destructive urges that force them to go crazy, just like us humans. A demon that can control their emotions and thoughts they are so powerful that a single one of them could probably destroy the entire Nine Heavens."

Yuan frowned and said, "And you purposefully allowed the Demon Emperor to get away because you want to fight one of these Ancients? This is insanity and incredibly selfish! I didn’t know you were such a selfish individual until now!"

The Divine Paragon smiled, "What’s wrong with being selfish? Everyone is selfish in their own ways, and my selfishness is also yours. Don’t forget that we are one and the same."

"I don’t get it. You were the first person to start hunting demons, yet you allowed a dangerous demon like the Demon Emperor to get away today. What is your motive? Why did you start the Demon Sealing Clan and start hunting demons in the first place?"

The Divine Paragon smiled at Yuan’s question and said, "If you want the answers, search for them in your memories. Defeat the fourth floor of the Demon Sealing Pagoda and you will have your answers."

"One more thing... The 8th Leader of the Demon Sealing Clan he’s a nasty individual. He intended on letting everyone at the tournament die today. I highly recommend that you stay away from him until you’re strong enough to confront him, and no matter what you do, do not reveal your true identity. I have a good feeling that he will do whatever it takes to remain as the leader of the Demon Sealing Clan, so anything that threatens his position will be disposed of..."

The Divine Paragon returned to being a statue the next moment.

Yuan sighed.

There was nothing he could do right now besides to continue his training. Now that there is a Demon Emperor and two more potential Demon Emperors on the loose somewhere in the Nine Heavens, he wants to be prepared before encountering them.

Yuan went to the training area shortly after and began training his demon sealing techniques.

Now that he’s completely mastered the Demon Sealing Strike, he will be moving onto other demon sealing techniques.

The following day, Yan Hara showed up at the training area to look for Yuan.

Once she found him training alone, she approached him with a smile on her face.

"Hey."

Yuan stopped training and turned to look at her.

"Senior Yan. How are you feeling?" Yuan bowed to her before asking.

"Alive," she said.

And she continued, "I’m sorry that you had to witness such a pathetic fight. I was completely useless in that fight. If not for the Leader, I would’ve also died to the Demon Emperor."

Yuan shook his head, "Don’t feel bad, Senior. You went up against a Demon Emperor and survived. Not many people could say the same."

"I’m not sure if that makes me feel any better since I am only alive because of Leader Qian, but thank you." Yan Hara showed a bittersweet smile.

"Anyways, I have scheduled your next examination. It will be in five days. If you cannot make it, I can reschedule it for you."

"I will make it." Yuan nodded.

"By the way, who became the next Supreme Demon Sealer?" He then asked her.

Yan Hara showed a bittersweet smile before responding, "Although nobody managed to kill or seal the Demon Emperor, they decided to give it to Suo Rengan because his overall performance was better. Some people also say it’s because of his background as Grand Elder Suo’s grandson that gave him an advantage, but if he doesn’t qualify to become a Supreme Demon Sealer, I also don’t qualify."

"However, I won’t let this defeat discourage me. I will definitely win the next tournament and become a Supreme Demon Sealer!" Yan Hara spoke with her fist held tightly.

"I have faith in you." Yuan said.

"You cheeky little thing. I should be the one saying such words to you! Anyways, I won’t stay here for long since I still have some important business to attend to. Before I leave, I should warn you that things might get a little crazy for a bit, so you should watch out."

"What do you mean?" Yuan raised his eyebrows.

Yan Hara looked around to make sure nobody was near them, and then she said in a low voice, "Because of what happened to the Demon Sealing Grotto’s three demon sealers, the Demon Sealing Clan is anticipating some kind of altercation with them soon, which might lead to some fights between the demon sealers from each party, so you should be careful."

"What makes the situation even worse is that only the demon sealers from the Demon Sealing Grotto had died during the tournament, so there are people speculating that it was a trap set up by the Demon Sealing Clan to lower the Demon Sealing Grotto’s power. After all, losing three Master Demon Sealers in one day is very damaging even to a powerful place like the Demon Sealing Grotto."

"If any demon sealers from the Demon Sealing Grotto try to provoke you, ignore them. If they try to start a fight, try your best to ignore them. We don’t need any more drama now."

Yuan nodded, "I understand."

"Good. If anything happens within the Grand Library, you can contact me through my communication jade slip. If you are outside... Well... Good luck..."

Yan Hara left the scene shortly after warning Yuan about potential disputes between the Demon Sealing Clan and the Demon Sealing Grotto in the future.. Although everything appeared to be normal now, it was only because not everybody had heard of the situation yet, which would undoubtedly change within the next few days.
