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 exin 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.


    This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    "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 sh, and during this time, the ind shook three more times.


    "Is heing out of his seclusion anytime soon? It''s already been a week, and the demon is showing signs of unsealing." Qi Fangined 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.


    Sometimeter, 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.


    "I am going to destroy it using my technique."


    "Technique? A demon sealing technique?"


    "No, it''s a powerful technique that can obliterate everything in its path. I have killed a demon before using this technique." Yuan said.


    "Stay back. I don''t want anybody to be caught up in the st."


    Once everybody was at a safe distance, Yuan summoned the Empyrean Overlord and started gathering all of the spiritual energy in the air.


    "What the heck is he doing…?" Qi Fang mumbled in a low voice.


    "I don''t know, but whatever he''s doing, it''s going to be big and powerful…" The Manager said in a dazed voice.


    She has never seen such a massive amount of spiritual energy gathered in one spot before.


    Yuan took his time gathering as much spiritual energy as he could since he didn''t want to take any chances with this bulky demon.


    While Yuan gathered his strength, the ind began shaking again.


    "The demon… It''s pulsating with light…" Qi Huan pointed at the demon in the tree that was glowing red in a heartbeat rhythm.


    This is the closest they have seen a demon being unsealed, and they were getting goosebumps all over their bodies.


    A few minutester, Yuan was finally finished with charging his strike.


    After taking a deep breath, Yuan swung his sword and released all of the spiritual energies that he had gathered, shooting a bright beam of light at the sealed demon.


    BOOM!


    The beam consumed the entire tree and most of the hill, instantly evaporating it.


    This shocked the Qi Family and the Manager, as they have never seen anything this destructive before.


    "It''s just like a nuclear weapon…" Qi Man mumbled in a dazed voice.


    Yuan fell to his knees and began gasping for air after releasing the Heaven Splitting Sword Strike, feeling as though half of his energy had been drained from that one attack.


    However, before he could even catch his breath, he suddenly heard Qi Fang''s screaming voice, "Yuan! In front of you!"


    Yuan immediately used his divine sense to look at the scene before him, and to his absolute shock and horror, there was a glob of red slimy substance on the ground that was moving around as though it was alive.


    ''I-I didn''t manage to kill it? Did I not use enough spiritual energy? No… I used even more than thest time! This demon must be far stronger than the one in the Mystic Realm!''


    Yuan turned to look at the Qi Family and shouted at them, "Leave this ce immediately! I will handle the demon!"


    "A-Are you sure?! We can assist you!" Qi Fang said out loud.


    "I am sure! Just leave! I will handle it! Trust me!"


    Qi Fang looked at the others and they all nodded at each other before leaving the ce to alert the others.


    Shortly after the others left, the red substance started forming into arge, bulky figure, and in just a few moments, it''d managed topletely recover, bing a full demon again.


    It silently stared at Yuan with a calm expression for a moment before showing an ugly smile on its face, "That hurt like hell, human.. You''re going to pay for waking this Supreme One up in such a rude fashion."
