Chapter 2494: Dealing With Qian Chu’s Spies

"Five..."

The moment Yuan began counting down, several individuals within the crowd immediately started scrambling toward the exits, shoving their way through the others in panic.

"Four..."

Seeing this, even more people hurriedly followed after them.

"Three..."

By the time Yuan reached three, over a hundred Demon Sealers had run out of the Grand Library.

"Two..." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"One..."

As Yuan finished the countdown, everyone present swallowed nervously and waited in tense silence, eager to see what he would do next—and how exactly he intended to distinguish the spies from the genuine Demon Sealers.

Without any warning, Yuan activated Swords of Eternal Torment, causing around seventy swords to materialize high above the crowd.

Before the people present could even fully raise their heads to look at them, the swords suddenly descended, shooting toward specific individuals within the crowd.

The swords caused no pain despite piercing deep into their bodies. However, their bodies rapidly began to turn to stone, the petrification spreading so quickly that they could not even scream or utter a single word before becoming stone statues.

The Demon Sealers trembled in fear as they witnessed humans being sealed for the very first time, and they slowly turned to look at Yuan, as though expecting an explanation from him.

However, Yuan offered none. Instead, he coldly commanded, "Move them somewhere far from my sight."

Those standing near the sealed spies immediately began dragging them away, moving almost entirely on instinct.

A few moments later, Yuan continued, "Although Demon Sealing Aura is not particularly effective against humans, that does not mean we are completely immune to it. And as you all just witnessed, if the Demon Sealing Aura is powerful enough, it can even seal humans."

"With that being said, unless you are me, you won’t be able to seal anyone."

"..."

After another brief moment of silence, Yuan turned to Yan Hara and asked, "I heard I’ve received several invitations?"

She nodded and replied, "After news of your return spread, countless people and organizations throughout the Nine Heavens sent invitations requesting you to visit them. They claim they wish to personally thank you for everything you did in the past. Are you going to respond to them?"

Yuan pondered for a moment before responding with a faint smile, "Sure, let’s give them a response."

"Who do you wish to reply to? Even the Celestial Emperor has sent an invitation," Yan Hara said.

The smile on Yuan’s face widened slightly as he replied, "Instead of responding to just one of them, why not answer all of them at once? In the end, they all want to meet me, don’t they?"

He leaned back in his chair before continuing, "Then let’s do exactly that. Spread the word throughout the Nine Heavens that I will be hosting a banquet, and anyone who wishes to attend may come."

Yan Hara’s jaw dropped at his words, and she hastily asked, "W-Where and when should we hold this banquet? With the Stairway to Heaven gone, it’ll be difficult for everyone to arrive."
