<h4>Chapter 879 - How Confident Are You?</h4>


    Five minutes after the Manager took back the lead, they arrived at the peak of the Dragon Spiral Mountain.


    Yuan immediately walked to the cave and stood in front of it.


    "Did something happen on your way here? You''rete." The Lord''s voice resounded from deep within the cave a momentter.


    "Not really. I wanted to try cracking the formation that is protecting this ce." Yuan said with a calm smile.


    The Lord was surprised by his words and couldn''t find any words for a good moment.


    "Hahaha!" He suddenly startedughing.


    "So you found the formation, huh? Not bad! Not bad at all!"


    After getting a goodugh, the Lord continued, "So, what business do you have with me— with the demons?"


    "It''s nothing that important, but it''s about time I deal with those pests. It doesn''t feel good knowing that you''re living so close to demons, you know? It''s like living in a house with the knowledge that there are insects dwelling in your basement. It makes my skin crawl just thinking about it." Yuan said.


    "..."


    The Lord didn''t immediately respond, but he could tell that something had changed about Yuan, who appeared to be a totally different person right now.


    "You say you want to deal with them, but how are you going to achieve that?" The Lord asked a momentter.


    "It''s simple. I will drag them out of the mountain and deal with them one by one. After all, there''s no reason why we should wait for them to break out of their seal. The best time to strike is when they''re sealed and unable to defend themselves."


    "That is an interesting but reckless n. How confident are you? Can you say with certainty that you can defeat the demons at your current state without any troubles?"


    "Yes, I can, and I won''t be fighting them myself. The Demon Sealing Faction will also be there."


    "How daring… and risky." The Lord said in a pondering voice.N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    "They will eventually break out of their seals, and that day is not far in the future. We can train until we copse everyday until they break out of their seal, but I doubt it would make that much of a difference."


    "While there is truth in your words, I don''t know if I canpletely trust you. What if you fail to kill the demons and they destroy my precious mountain?"


    "If you don''t trust my abilities, then why did you even ask me to deal with your demon problem?" Yuan said as he calmly stared into the pitch-ck cave.


    "This and that are two different matters. You''re being impatient right now, and you''re acting differently than usual. I don''t know if I can trust you in your current state." The Lord said.


    Yuan sighed after hearing the Lord''s words.


    "Fine. Then you can find someone else to deal with the demons. The Demon Sealing Faction will move out of the Dragon Spiral Mountain as soon as possible since I won''t be able to fulfill your request."


    And without waiting for the Lord''s response, Yuan turned around and began walking away.


    "You insolent brat!" The Manager shouted at him.


    However, Yuan ignored her and continued walking.


    "Where do you think you''re going?"


    An immense pressure suddenly appeared from the Lord''s cave, halting Yuan''s movements.


    "Did you already forget about the formation? It works both ways, so you won''t be able to leave here by yourself." The Lord said in a cold voice.


    Yuan turned to look at the cave in a stiff manner with the pressure making it hard for him to move.


    "Judging by your aura, you''re probably a Spirit Emperor… Perhaps even a Spirit Sovereign. However, that should be impossible with the quality of spiritual energy in this world even if you cultivated for millions of years— that is if you cultivated in this world."


    "You… You''re not from this world, are you? Let me guess… You''re from Cultivation Online— or should I call it the Nine Heavens?"


    The Lord''s pressure suddenly disappeared, and the ce became dead silent.


    The Manager was also staring at Yuan with a profound frown on her face, seemingly trying toe to a conclusion.


    Yuan turned to look at the Manager after sensing killing intent from her.


    "I know you hate me, but I didn''t think you hate me enough to want to kill me. However, are you sure you really want to do that?"


    "I am no match for a Spirit Emperor with my current strength, much less a Spirit Sovereign, so I am currently at your mercy. However, if you kill me, you can kiss the Dragon Spiral Mountain goodbye when the demonse out of their seals."


    Yuan suddenlyid on the ground and spread his limbs out like he was stretching.


    "Go ahead. Kill me. I won''t defend myself."


    "Stand down, Liya." The Lord''s voice resounded, breaking the awkward silence.


    And he continued, "You… Who are you? You''re not the Yuan I know."


    Yuan smiled and said, "It''s rude to ask for one''s identity while being in a ce where they cannot even see you, much less identify you."


    "I have my circumstances." The Lord said.


    "What a coincidence. I also have my circumstances. However, I can tell you that I am indeed Yuan. Whether you believe me or not… I don''t care."


    After another long moment of silence, the Lord spoke, "I will ask you again. How confident are you? Can you promise me that you won''t mess this up? The Dragon Spiral Mountain is much more important than you can ever imagine. If the demons destroy it, it will be the end of this world."


    Yuan raised his eyebrows after hearing the Lord''s seemingly outrageous ims.


    "I won''t make any promises, but I can say with confidence that I have never lost to a demon before." Yuan said, not counting his defeat in the Demon Sealing Pagoda.


    A defeated sigh echoed from the cave a momentter.


    "Very well. Do as you please. However, if you screw up, I will personally kill you even if it''s thest thing I do." The Lord said.
