Chapter 770 - I Will Handle It (1/2)
After speaking with the Qi Family, the Manager called Meixiu's phone to let her know about the situation.
”Hello?”
”This is the Manager of the Dragon Spiral Mountain. Is this Meixiu's phone number?”
”Yes, this is Meixiu speaking. Did something happen to Yuan?” Meixiu quickly asked about Yuan.
”No, I am just calling to let you know that he will be staying at the Qi Family for a little longer than anticipated.”
”...”
”I understand… Can I speak to him?” Meixiu asked after a moment of silence.
”Unfortunately, he's currently in seclusion, so he will not be able to speak with you.”
”W-Wait… What do you mean by that? Why is he in seclusion?”
The Manager proceeded to explain the whole situation to Meixiu.
”He's going to fight a demon?!” Meixiu's anxious voice resounded after hearing everything.
”Not exactly. He's going to exterminate a sealed demon.”
”How is that any different?” Meixiu frowned.
”Does it really matter? In the end, he agreed to it.”
”How long will this take?”
”About a week,” said the Manager.
”I understand… I will tell the others. Just make sure he's safe…”
”As much as I hate that idea, it is my job as the Manager of the Dragon Spiral Mountain to keep its residents safe… No matter how much I dislike that resident.”
Once the connection stopped, Meixiu went to notify the others about the situation while the Manager and the Qi Family waited for Yuan to emerge from his seclusion.
A week passed by in a flash, and during this time, the island shook three more times.
”Is he coming out of his seclusion anytime soon? It's already been a week, and the demon is showing signs of unsealing.” Qi Fang complained as she stood in front of Yuan's immortal cave with the others.
”You know what? I think we should go inside and see what the hell is taking him so long! We don't have any more time!”
Just as Qi Fang began approaching the immortal cave, a figure emerged from the cave entrance.
”Took you long enough! I sincerely hope that you're fully prepared! It's been a week!” Qi Fang said to Yuan, who just finished his seclusion.
”Sorry, it took longer than expected.” Yuan said.
Since the Heaven Splitting Sword Strike is actually part of another Divine-rank technique, he had to improve his Heaven's Secret Art first, which is harder than learning even an Ancient-rank technique.
”I am ready to kill the demon. Let's go.” Yuan then said.
Sometime later, they arrived at the tree on the hill.
”So… How are you going to exterminate it?” Qi Man asked once they were standing in front of the sealed demon that had cracks appearing all over its body.
