Cultivation Online Chapter 880: 26 Days

Chapter 880 - 26 Days

"Good. Now that it’s been decided, I want to see the demons right now." Yuan said.

"Bring him to the demons. And don’t do anything funny, Liya." The Lord said to the Manager.

"I won’t." She said in a nonchalant voice.

"Follow me."

Yuan nodded and silently followed the Manager to the area with the 11 demons.

Once they arrived, Yuan began analyzing the demons one by one by putting his hand onto it and checking their prowess.

Some minutes later, Yuan pointed at a specific demon and said to the Manager, "I want this demon. Can you deliver it to the back of my house by this afternoon?"

The Manager frowned and said, "Are you insane? What do you think this place is? A convenience store where you can buy demons and have them delivered?"

"Well... I don’t mind taking care of the demons here, but are you sure you want that? It’s going to get messy, and we could accidentally break the other demons out of their seal in the process."

"Although I don’t care if the Dragon Spiral Mountain is destroyed or not, I don’t think the Lord will like that very much."

"Che." The Manager coldly snorted.

"Fine, we will deliver it to you by this afternoon. What else do you want?"

Yuan suddenly summoned the Empyrean Overlord and began writing on the ground in front of the sealed demons, numbering them from one to eleven in addition to dates.

"The numbers dictate the order these demons will break out of their seal, and the date is the exact day they will break out of their seal. I want you to deliver the demons three days prior to their dates. Simple, right?"

The Manager didn’t say anything at first and walked around to look at the dates.

"The first demon to break out of their seal is in 5 days, and the last demon will break out of their seal in 26 days... We have less than a month to deal with all 11 demons?" The Manager mumbled, sounding slightly worried.

She turned to look at Yuan and asked, "How accurate are your accessements?"

"Although I can’t tell the exact second the demons will break out of their seal until the very last few hours, I am confident that they will break out on those days. However, just in case, I want you to bring them to me three days prior to their dates." Yuan said.

"And what are you going to do once I deliver these demons to you?" The Manager continued to ask.

Yuan smiled and said, "You’re free to stay behind and experience it with your very own eyes."

"I will be doing that even without needing you to tell me."

"Great. Then I will see you in a few hours." Yuan said as he walked towards the exit.

Once they returned to the Lord, Yuan said, "I am going to return home for now to prepare."

"You can ask for the details from her." He pointed at the Manager.

"Liya, show him the exit." The Lord said.

The Manager then led Yuan until they left the formation.

"See you later, Liya." Yuan chuckled.

"I don’t recall giving you the permission to use my name." The Manager frowned.

"What’s the harm? I have a feeling that we’ll become friends in the near future, so we might as well start now."

"In your dreams." The Manager sneered before leaving him to return to the peak of the mountain.

Once she returned to the Lord’s side, she explained the situation to him.

"I see... So we have 26 days to deal with the demons..."

The Manager then asked in a concerned voice, "Can we really trust him?"

After a moment of silence, the Lord spoke, "Although I don’t know what had happened to him to cause such a drastic change in personality, he’s definitely more formidable than before. And we’re in no position to be picky. We have no choice but to trust him for now."

The Manager then said in a low voice, "When he was with the demons earlier, I could smell anger and hatred in his scent. I don’t want to trust him, but I believe that he truly despises demons for some reason."

"That’s good enough for me." The Lord said.

Meanwhile, after returning to his home, Yuan called for everyone in the Demon Sealing Faction.

Once everyone was gathered, Yuan said to them, "This is a little sudden, but I need you all to prepare yourselves."

"What happened?" Wu Zao asked.

"We’re going to be fighting a demon soon," he replied in a calm voice.

"What?! A demon?!" They all exclaimed.

"This is certainly very sudden! Where are we going to fight the demon?" Wang Ming asked.

"Here. In our backyard."

"What...?"

Their eyes widened with shock after hearing such words.

"The Manager will be delivering a demon to our backyard later this afternoon, and I am going to let you all fight it." Yuan revealed another piece of shocking information.

"W-Wait. You’re going to make us fight the demon?" Shi Lang swallowed nervously.

"Yes. You can’t expect me to fight all of the demons by myself, right? Although I can certainly kill all of the demons by myself, that would make your efforts pointless."

"You all learned demon sealing techniques for a reason, or am I wrong?"

"No, you’re right." Wang Bingbing said with a resolute expression on her face.

"Don’t worry, I won’t force you to fight if you don’t want to."

"I will fight!" Wang Ming immediately said.

"Me too." Xi Murong raised his hand.

Once everyone there agreed to fight, Yuan nodded and said, "Good, then meet me in the backyard this afternoon."

The others immediately stormed off to prepare for the fight.

"Are you two okay?" Yuan asked Meixiu and Chu Liuxiang afterward.

"I would be lying if I said that I’m perfectly fine, but I am not afraid. After all, you’re going to be there, right?" Chu Liuxiang said.

"Of course." Yuan nodded.

"Then there’s nothing for me to be worried about! I am going to prepare!" Chu Liuxiang said before she left to prepare.
