Chapter 814 - Demon Sealing Flag
Yuan turned to look at Lian Er and responded in a calm voice, "It's nothing. Oh, can you tell me about the current leader of the Demon Sealing Clan?"
"T-The leader?" Lian Er was slightly taken aback by his weird question that had nothing to do with the current event.
"Well… What do you want to know about him?" Despite shivering all over her body, Lian Er wanted to remain respectful and decided to entertain him.
"Any information is fine. Just tell me everything you know about him." Yuan said.
'He's no longer trembling? Did he already adapt to the Demon Emperor's aura? No… that's not possible. He's only a Spirit Lord, and it has only been a few minutes since the event started. Just how is he doing it?' Lian Li wondered to herself as she watched their conversation.
Yuan, who had been terrified out of his mind just moments ago, suddenly appeared to be completely fine under the Demon Emperor's aura.
Lian Li looked around her at the other spectators, and sure enough, most of them were still trying to adapt to the Demon Emperor's ridiculous aura, so how is a Spirit Lord like Yuan completely fine?
Lian San also noticed Yuan's odd state and thought to himself, 'He's not an ordinary demon sealer. No wonder why a Spirit Lord like him dared to come to this place…'
While her siblings wondered about Yuan's identity, Lian Er spoke, "I don't actually know that much about the leader, so sorry in advance if I wasn't of any help."
"Anyways, the current leader is, as you already know, the 8th leader of the Demon Sealing Clan. He's been with the Demon Sealing Clan for over 100,000 years, and he took over the clan after the previous leader died in an accident."
"As for his qualifications, he has sealed over 20 demons and killed 7 demons, making him the most experienced demon sealer in the clan."
"He became a Master Demon Sealer after spending just a little over 1,000 years in the Demon Sealing Clan, a Supreme Demon Sealer 5,000 years later, and he went on to become the leader of the clan about 10,000 years later, becoming the youngest leader of the Demon Sealing Clan in history."
"Because of him, the declining Demon Sealing Clan also regained some of its strength, so the Grand Elders rewarded him with the Demon Sealing Flag, one of the most powerful demon sealing treasures out there that was once used by the Divine Paragon himself."
"Do you see that black and red flag by his side? That's the Demon Sealing Flag, one of three demon sealing treasures that was once owned by the Divine Paragon. Rumor has it that the Divine Paragon has sealed over 1,000 demons with it."
"The Demon Sealing Flag, huh?" A mysterious smile appeared on Yuan's face as he looked at the majestic flag standing proudly beside Qian Chu.
"Where are the other two treasures?" Yuan asked next.
"I'm not really sure since they always keep its whereabouts a secret, but rumor has it that the Demon Sealing Grotto has them." Lian Er said.
"The Demon Sealing Grotto?" Yuan raised his eyebrows.
Lian Er nodded, "When some of the most trusted demon sealers left the Demon Sealing Clan and created the Demon Sealing Grotto, they took with them one of the Divine Paragon's treasures. As for the second one, I was told that the Demon Sealing Clan had to surrender it to the Demon Sealing Grotto during its lowest point when it was on the brink of destruction in order to save the clan. However, these are just rumors without any solid evidence to support it, so you shouldn't consider them to be true."
Yuan released a low sigh after hearing such information, "How the Demon Sealing Clan has fallen…"
'Although I didn't really care about the Demon Sealing Clan even up to my death, it still leaves a bitter taste in my mouth knowing that something I personally built is slowly being destroyed.' Yuan sighed inwardly.
After being pressured past his limits by the Demon Emperor's aura, Yuan's memories as the Divine Paragon resurfaced, as did his personality as the Divine Paragon, so one can say that it was the Divine Paragon's consciousness that is currently awake in Yuan's body.
"The Demon Sealing Clan is no longer what it once was, so why did you decide to join the clan? You would've been better off joining the Demon Sealing Grotto that is much stronger nowadays." Yuan suddenly asked her.
Lian Er smiled and quickly responded without hesitation, "That's simple. Like most demon sealers nowadays, I joined the Demon Sealing Clan not for its strength but for its legacy and history."
"The Demon Sealing Clan is neither a faction nor a sect, so its prowess really doesn't matter to me. I am satisfied with being part of something that made a difference in the world. Without the Demon Sealing Clan and the Divine Paragon, I doubt we would be living so peacefully right now, much less using a Demon Emperor for entertainment."
A gentle smile appeared behind his mask after hearing Lian Er's words, and he no longer asked her any more questions.
Instead, he turned his attention to the Demon Emperor that appeared to be toying with the five Master Demon Sealers.
"They won't win against this Demon Emperor." Yuan suddenly mumbled in a low voice that could only be heard by the triplets.
"Huh? What do you mean?" They all turned to look at him with raised eyebrows.
"If they continue like this, they're all going to die— all five of them." Yuan said.
"How is that possible? All of the demon sealers in the arena are Master Demon Sealers— they're the best of the best within their rank. There's no way they'd all lose to a single demon, right?" Lian Li asked.
"You guys are underestimating the prowess of a Demon Emperor. That thing… It's just toying with them right now. Once it gets serious, only the Grand Elders and the 8th Leader can handle it.." Yuan said to them.
