Nameless Town
Nameless Town
However, before he could even react, Feng Yuxiang, who had been prepared to act at a moment's notice, waved her hand and released a blast of spiritual energy at the aggressor, sending the old woman flying to the next street.
Yuan stared at the old woman that had fallen a street away with a baffled look on his face, and he turned to look at Feng Yuxiang.
"Feng Feng, did you really have to do that? That woman wasn't a cultivator, so there was no way that kitchen knife could've hurt me…"
"Mortal or not, she dared to attack Young Master, so she will be punished." Feng Yuxiang said with a firm look on her face.
"I hope you didn't kill her…" Yuan sighed.
However, when he turned back to look at the street, he could not see the old woman anywhere.
"Huh? Where did she go?" Yuan looked around, but he couldn't see even a shadow.
"She probably got scared and ran away. I didn't even use that much strength just now, so she should be fine." Feng Yuxiang said.
"Since there's nobody we can ask for help, I guess we can only continue to look for the Myriad of Techniques by ourselves."
Eventually, Yuan gave up on walking on foot and started flying around the town.
After about fifteen minutes of circling around the desolate town, they finally found the Myriad of Techniques, which was hidden in a narrow space between two ordinary-looking buildings.
If it were not for the fact that he'd seen the same entrance multiple times by now, Yuan would've definitely missed it.
Upon entering the Myriad of Techniques, they were greeted by the usual scenery that was filled with warmth and light, the polar opposite of the nameless town.
The tingly sensation on his skin immediately disappeared the moment Yuan entered the Myriad of Techniques, allowing him to finally breathe normally.
Sometime later, he made his way to the Demon Sealing Clan's Grand Library.
After coming out of the portal in the Grand Library, Yuan approached the building in the distance, but it was completely empty there due to the drama between the Demon Sealing Clan and the Demon Sealing Grotto.
"You're the little founder… What are you doing here? Didn't you hear? The Grand Library is closed until further notice." The man that gave Yuan the badge when he first arrived was still there to guard the entrance even though it was closed.
"I'm here to take my demon sealing examination with Senior Yan," he explained the situation to him.
"Give me a moment to confirm this." The man retrieved a communication jade slip and contacted Yan Hara, who was somewhere within the Grand Library.
"Are you expecting the little founder?" He asked her.
"Yes, please let him inside." Yan Hara quickly responded.
The man turned to look at Yuan and silently nodded.
"Thank you." Yuan bowed to the man before making his way inside the Grand Library.
Once inside, he walked straight to the area with the Divine Paragon's statue.
When he arrived, he could see five people standing in front of the statue.
Yuan immediately recognized three of these people.
They were Yan Hara, Tang Zheng, and surprisingly, Wan Yu.
As for the last two individuals, they were a beautiful young lady and a handsome young man that Yuan did not recognize at all.
The young lady was wearing the Demon Sealing Clan's uniform while the young man wore the Demon Sealing Grotto's uniform.
"You're late, little founder." Yan Hara said to him in a relaxed tone when she noticed his presence.
"Sorry, but something came up and I had to travel to another location." Yuan said with an apologetic smile.
"So that's the rumored 'little founder', huh. I must say, he really resembles the Divine Paragon, but his cultivation is too weak. Are you sure he should be participating in the examination?" The handsome young man showed a provocative smile after seeing Yuan.
The young lady merely glared at Yuan with a deep gaze, her thoughts unknown.
Yuan glanced at the handsome young man before ignoring him.
He looked around the place, showing a puzzled expression on his face when he couldn't see any artificial demons in the area.
"Are you looking for the artificial demons?" Tang Zhang read his thoughts and asked with a smile.
Yuan nodded.
"Hahaha! Don't tell me that you're participating in this examination without even knowing anything about it?! I have never met anyone like you before!" The young man started laughing when he realized the situation.
"Calm down, Wan Kaiqi." Wan Yu narrowed his eyes on the handsome young man.
"Sorry, Uncle Wan, but this guy is too much for me." The young man, who turned out to be Wan Yu's nephew, spoke as he wiped his tears.
"It's my fault. I forgot to explain the examination to you." Yan Hara suddenly realized this fact and apologized to him.
"It's fine. The details don't really matter to me. I intend on passing the examination no matter what, after all." Yuan said with a confident smile on his face.
"Well spoken." Wan Yu smiled, and he continued, "When I heard that you wanted to become an Elite Demon Sealer, I immediately volunteered to become a judge. I missed it when you became an Advanced Demon Sealer, but I won't miss this one."
"Anyways, now that everyone is here, let's go to the area where the examination will take place." Tang Zheng said, and he suddenly began creating array symbols the next moment.
A few moments later, Tang Zheng combined the array symbols into a single powerful array before infusing the array with the Divine Paragon's statue beside him.
A few moments later, a red portal appeared before them, and Tang Zheng entered it without hesitation.
The others followed with Yuan entering last.
After exiting from the portal, Yuan was greeted by the scenery of a mountain valley, but there was something ominous about it, and the sensation he felt from the nameless town could suddenly be felt again, but it was much more intensive this time.
