Chapter 1258 Yuan"s Plan

1258 Yuan"s Plan

"Hey! You can all cease your training now!" The Manager"s voice boomed, echoing across the entire mountaintop.

A few minutes later, the entire Demon Sealing Faction a.s.sembled before her, each of them bearing the marks of their intense training, with bruises and bloodied clothes as evidence of their hard work.

"Did something happen, Manager?" w.a.n.g Ming asked her.

"Nothing really, but your leader has returned."

"Leader? Yuan? He"s back?" Chu Liuxiang"s eyes flickered with excitement upon hearing this information.

"Yes, and he"s waiting for you guys back at the house, so you guys are done for today."

"Thank you for today, Manager." They said to her before rus.h.i.+ng back to the house.

Sometime later, back at the house.

"Yuan!" Chu Liuxiang rushed at Yuan and tossed her body onto him without hesitation.

"It"s been a while, Liuxiang. Everyone." Yuan greeted them with a calm smile.

"Welcome back, Yuan." Meixiu was the first to respond, her face with a gentle smile.

"I"m back. Sorry, it took a little longer than expected."

"Luckily, you came back at just the right time. If you"d come back even a little later, we would"ve had to act without you." w.a.n.g Ming said.

"Is this about the Ten Great Families?" Yuan asked.

"You knew?" They looked at him with wide eyes.

"Not the whole story. Meifeng told me the Ten Great Families are trying to cause trouble, but that"s all."

"And now that we"re all here, I will tell you the whole story," Meifeng said.

"I think it can wait a little longer." Yuan chuckled, and he pointed at the others, "They should probably get cleaned first."

"Sorry! We won"t take long!"

Everyone there quickly scrambled back to their rooms to wash themselves.

Sometime later, once everyone returned, they all sat around the dining table.

"Now that everyone is here, allow me to begin," Meifeng said as she brought out a laptop and a projector.

"As I"ve already told you, the Ten Great Families are targeting you, Yuan. While you were still away, I received a call from Bai Lihua, who warned us about the Ten Great Families" plan— that they plan on working together to go after you and your Exile."

"My Exile? Xiao Hua?" Yuan raised an eyebrow upon hearing this news, and he immediately understood the situation.

"I see… So that person must"ve been from the Ten Great Families, and he"s seeking revenge for what happened…" Yuan sighed out loud.

"Hm? What are you talking about? Did you already encounter the Ten Great Families?" Chu Liuxiang asked him.

He nodded and recalled to them what happened recently, "Right after I left the Nameless Emperor"s Tomb, we were approached by an Exile, who tried to rob and kill us. In the end, my Exile killed this Exile. Of course, this Exile had a partner, who hid the entire time. He must"ve been from the Ten Great Families."

"Everything makes sense now… But to make the Ten Great Families work together, it could only be the work of one person— Xiong Lu. He"s a very famous player who dominated many games, and the Xiong Family is also currently ranked first in the Legacy Ranking." Meifeng said.

She proceeded to show Yuan the recruitment announcement made by them.

"They are also gathering Exiles from around the world now. Unfortunately, we don"t know how common Exiles are or how many have joined Xiong Lu."

Yuan closed his eyes and began pondering silently.

Eventually, w.a.n.g Bingbing asked, "So, what do you think we should do, Yuan? We had a few ideas about fighting back, but we"ve decided to wait for your return before we act."

Yuan opened his eyes and smiled, "It"s quite simple— there"s no need to do anything."

"Excuse me?"

Everyone there looked at him with wide eyes.

"No matter how many Exiles they"ve gathered, they won"t be able to do anything to me." Yuan calmly said.

"Seriously…? You"re that confident?" w.a.n.g Bing muttered in a dazed voice.

"Your strength must"ve increased significantly during the last six months." Li Jinxi said, her gaze filled with antic.i.p.ation for some reason.

"Well, I"m still stuck at Peak Spirit King, but I have improved on everything else."

"So you don"t plan on doing anything about the Ten Great Families?" Xi Murong asked.

"Actually, I do have a plan up my sleeves."

"What"s the plan?" They all looked at him with antic.i.p.ation.

"I"m going to visit them once they fully gather their force," he casually revealed.

"You"re what?!"

"Wouldn"t it be better for you to visit them before they gather their force?" Meifeng couldn"t help but ask.

"It wouldn"t be as convincing if I did that. In fact, they will most likely start making excuses and continue causing more trouble later."

"Convincing? What are you trying to convince them of?"

After a slight pause, Yuan spoke with a grim smile, "I"m going to convince them that no matter what they do, they will not be able to touch me."

Everyone there swallowed nervously as they subconsciously began to wonder what Yuan was going to do to the Ten Great Families.

"Anyways, let"s put the Ten Great Families aside for now and catch up on our own lives. I see that you guys have been training hard for the past half a year— to the point where you"ve all caught to up my cultivation."

"It"s mostly thanks to the Lord"s a.s.sistance." w.a.n.g Ming said. "Without his help, as well as the Manager"s training sessions, we wouldn"t have been able to reach Spirit Grandmaster so quickly."

"Liya also helped you guys? Now that"s shocking."

"Is it really? She"s actually really nice once you get to know her. Though, she does have trouble being honest with herself at times." w.a.n.g Bingbing smiled.

"Her training is brutal, too. I swear I almost died a few times— just this month alone." s.h.i.+ Lang sighed.

"Yuan, tell us about the Nameless Emperor"s Tomb! I want to hear about your adventures!" Chu Liuxiang suddenly requested.

He nodded, "Okay."

Thus, Yuan began recalling his experience within the Nameless Emperor"s Tomb to everyone.
