Chapter 901: Why Are You Wearing a Mask?

Yuan entered the Demon Sealing Zone and unsealed the demon shortly after Li Jinxi finished her turn.

"I have fulfilled your request, human. You"ll set me free as promised." The demon stared at Yuan with a solemn expression.

"Yes, don"t worry, I will set you free."

Yuan said as he approached the demon.

"What are you planning?" The demon frowned upon sensing that something was wrong.

However, before it could even react, Yuan extended his hand and grabbed the crystal embedded on its body.

"W-What is the meaning of this, human?!" The demon roared at Yuan.

"What else? I am setting you free."

"f.u.c.king bulls.h.i.+t! You lied to me, human!"

"I didn"t lie. You just misunderstood the meaning behind my words, that"s all."

"f.u.c.k YOU, YOU d.a.m.n LIVESTOCK!"

The demon became enraged and rushed at Yuan.

"You"ll be truly free now." Yuan mumbled in a low voice as he crushed the demon"s crystal, instantly killing the demon.

The others were left speechless by Yuan"s actions.

"H-He killed the demon just like that?" w.a.n.g Ming muttered in disbelief.

"Y-Yuan! Why didn"t the demon die when we struck its crystal? I know I"d destroyed it a few times during our training!" s.h.i.+ Lang asked him.

"That"s because it requires a certain technique and a certain level of demon sealing aura to achieve this feat. When you all become strong enough, I will teach you this technique." Yuan said to them.

"It"s a promise!"

"Of course."

"Anyways, the next demon won"t be unsealed for another week, but I can unseal it early. Take the next five days off. I will deal with the other demons in the meantime."

"Alright."

Yuan approached the Manager afterward and said, "Can you bring all of the demons here tomorrow?"

"A-All of them?" The Manager stared at him with wide eyes.

"Yes. We could wait for them to break out of their seal one by one, or I can kill them all at once."

"Why the sudden rush?" She asked.

"I just remembered that my sister"s birthday is coming up soon, so I want to clean things up before I go," he calmly said.

"Is that so…"

"Alright, I will speak with the Lord." The Manager nodded.

"What"s wrong? Is there something on my face?" Yuan asked when she continued to stare at him.

"I"ve been meaning to ask you this but… why are you wearing a mask?"

"Oh, this? The demons would lose all desire to fight if they see my face, and I don"t want that." Yuan explained without really going into the details.

"Why would they lose desire to fight if they see your face? That doesn"t make any sense…" The Manager asked out of curiosity.

"I don"t know. I guess they really hate my face or something." Yuan casually shrugged.

"So he doesn"t want to tell me, huh…"

"Whatever." The Manager left shortly after, returning to the peak of the mountain to notify the Lord of the situation.

"He wants to deal with all of the demons at once? I don"t have any problems with that. In fact, that"s exactly what I want."

The Manager then asked, "Once he defeats all of the demons… are you really going to tell him the truth?"

"He probably already knows the truth. Do you remember what he said? That we came from the Nine Heavens?"

"Of course."

"Then he"s already aware of the fact that the Nine Heavens truly exist somewhere in this universe, which is already a third of what we"re going to tell him. We might as well tell him everything at this point."

"I guess so…" The Manager sighed.

The following morning, the Manager arrived at Yuan"s household with a truck meant for moving furniture.

After parking in the training area, she proceeded to bring out the remaining 9 demons, placing them in an orderly fas.h.i.+on and in the order they would break out of their seal.

"Can you put this one to the side for now? It"s going to be the others" practice tool." Yuan pointed at a certain sealed demon and asked the Manager.

"Alright. What about the other demons? Which do you want to kill first?"

"I will handle them all at once. It"s more convenient that way, after all."

The Manager frowned and said, "I know you"re strong and all, but you shouldn"t be so arrogant. You should take the situation more seriously and be more cautious and deal with them one by one."

Yuan sighed, "Fine. I will kill two of them at once, and then I will deal with the strongest one by itself at the end."

"Did you even hear me just now? One. At. A. Time."

"You"re underestimating me now, Liya." Yuan smiled.

"How about this? If you let me fight two of them at once, I will fight them without a mask."

"Deal." The Manager immediately agreed, leaving Yuan speechless.

"Was this her intention from the beginning?" He wondered inwardly.

While the Manager moved two of the nine demons into Yuan"s Demon Sealing Zone, the others gathered around the area with transportable chairs, acting as though they were going to an outdoor movie.

"Okay, I am ready." The Manager said to Yuan after she finished moving the demons.

"Thank you."

Yuan said as she entered the Demon Sealing Zone.

"Hmm? He"s not wearing his mask today?" w.a.n.g Bingbing noticed this and asked the others.

"Why does he even feel the need to wear a mask?" w.a.n.g Ming asked.

"Do you know?" Xi Murong turned to ask Chu Liuxiang.

"I don"t. What about you, Meixiu?" Chu Liuxiang asked her next.

"I don"t." She shook her head.

"Even you don"t know?" The others were surprised. Out of everyone there, they expected Meixiu to know.

While the others mumbled to each other, Yuan unsealed the demons.

"HAHAHAHA! I AM FREE! FREEEEEE!"

The two demons in the Demon Sealing Zone immediately started laughing out loud.

Yuan patiently waited for the demons to notice him.

When the demons eventually noticed Yuan, they stopped laughing and stared at him with their eyes as wide as saucers.
