"So your request for us is to deal with these demons, is that correct?" Yuan asked for confirmation.
"Indeed."
"Okay, I will take care of them." Yuan nodded his head and agreed to the Lord's request.
"Eh?"
A dumbfounded noise echoed from the cave, almost as though the Lord was surprised by his response.
"Is there a problem?" Yuan asked.
"No… I just didn't expect you to agree so easily. This is a demon— demons that we're talking about. Even the Qi Family is reluctant to fight with demons unless they absolutely have to." The Lord said.
"Well, what else am I supposed to say? No, I won't help you deal with these demons that could potentially destroy this world? You know, I created the Demon Sealing Faction for a reason. I plan on eradicating every last demon in this world, even if I don't get anything out of it."
After a moment of silence, the Lord spoke again, "Before you make your decision, I would like you to see something."
"Manager. Take him 'inside' the mountain."
"Inside the mountain!? Are you sure?" The Manager appeared to be shaken by his request.
"He will have to see it eventually since he will be fighting the demons for us, so we might as well let him see the scene and fully understand our situation now. There's no point in delaying this issue. The demons are going to come out of their seal, and I don't trust the Qi Family will be able to handle this calamity by themselves." The Lord sighed.
"I understand."
The Manager turned to look at Yuan and said, "Follow me."
Yuan nodded and proceeded to follow the Manager, but they did not go the way he had expected. Instead of going back to where they came from, they went to the other side of the mountain, where a hidden path was located.
After walking for about half an hour, they arrived before this cave entrance that was emitting an ominous atmosphere.
"Before we go inside, I must warn you not to touch anything." The Manager said to him.
"I won't." He promised.
"Let's go."
They entered the cave a moment later, and after walking for some more, they encountered another entrance, but this one was emitting a menacing aura that would make people reluctant to move forward.
When Yuan felt this forbidding aura, his body got the chills, almost as though it was reacting to it.
After taking a deep breath and swallowing down his nervousness, he followed the Manager into the enclosed area on the other side of the entrance.
"T-This is…" Yuan's body shook violently when he realized what he was seeing in this place, and it left him completely speechless.
He could feel multiple emotions flaring up.
