Cultivation Online novel Chapter 1584

Chapter 1584 A Villain

"Fuck! Why did the Lord refuse to help us?!"

"Could he be afraid of Yuan?"

"That's impossible! The Lord has an unfathomable cultivation! He could easily kill someone like Yuan!"

"Whatever his reason is, we cannot leave without any results. Our supervisors will eat us alive if we return emptyhanded."

"But what the hell are we supposed to do?"

The government officials stopped moving and decided to sit by the road to think. They were also in too much pain to walk and took this opportunity to heal. After some time, they considered returning to the peak for another attempt to convince the Lord, but no one actually dared, fearing that the Lord would kill them for such audacity.

"There's nothing we can do here. I'm sure our supervisors will understand. Let's get out of here before there's a misunderstanding."

"Yeah. It's not like we can argue with the Lord."

The officials got back on their feet and began descending the mountain again.

Sometime later, they noticed a handsome young man coming up the mountain from a distance.

Despite his youthful appearance, he had a profound aura and exuded the presence of an expert.

"T-that's—!"

"Look over there!"

"It's Yuan!" The government officials immediately halted their steps when they recognized the young man to be Yuan—the very person they were trying to put under control.

Yuan noticed these individuals long before they even saw him and had plenty of time to ponder how he should interact with them, if he even should.

Once they were only several feet apart from each other, Yuan stopped in front of them with a friendly smile on his face.

"Judging by your suits, you must be with the government. Did you already finish your discussion with the Lord? How did it go?" he asked.

"W-what are you talking about?" The officials' eyes widened with surprise, almost as if they couldn't believe what they were hearing.

Yuan pretended to look confused and said, "Hmm? I thought you were here to see whether you can get the Lord to deal with me or something along that line. Was I mistaken?"

"You!?"

The government officials' faces darkened after hearing his words. However, they quickly realized the gravity of their situation.

If they respond incorrectly and offend Yuan, it might trigger what they feared could happen.

"I-I think there's been a misunderstanding. We—our supervisors are not trying to 'deal' with you. We just want to make sure you don't accidentally destroy a city or the world…"

They would not utter a single word until they returned to their supervisors, informing them of the Lord's response, as well as Yuan's warning to them. _{ƒгeewebnovёl.com}
