“Is there something wrong?” Yuan decided to ask them after giving them plenty of time to speak.
“Little founder… That technique you used to restrict the Abomination— what kind of technique is it?” Yan Hara forcefully swallowed before asking him.
“Oh, that was one of my family’s techniques. It’s called Swords of Binding Light. It’s really good for restricting magical beasts and demons alike,” he responded in a calm manner.
“Swords of Binding Light? So it really wasn’t Swords of Eternal Torment?” Tang Zheng mumbled.
“I told you it couldn’t have been that technique.” Wan Yu didn’t seem surprised outside, but he was relieved inwardly.
Of course, since Yuan had the Divine Paragon’s memories, he was well aware that Swords of Eternal Torment was a technique that had never been shared with the Demon Sealing Clan or anyone in that matter. He was also aware of the risk from using the technique, but he had no other choice, as that technique was required to defeat the Abomination at his current level.
“Anyways, that was a marvelous performance, little founder. I am now more confident than ever that you have what it takes to become the next leader of the Demon Sealing Clan!” Yan Hara said with a bright smile on her face.
“Screw the Demon Sealing Clan.” Wan Yu suddenly said.
“Huh? What did you just say?” Yan Hare turned to look at him with a frown on her face.
However, Wan Yu ignored her and continued to look at Yuan, “I wouldn’t normally do something this shameless, but you’re worth it. Yuan, leave the Demon Sealing Clan and join the Demon Sealing Grotto. You’re wasting your talents over there.”
“Hey! How dare you try to convert the little founder right in front of me!” Yan Hara was beginning to fume in anger.
Wan Yu coldly snorted at her and said, “Have you already forgotten what I told you during the examination? The Demon Sealing Clan is collapsing faster than ever before. It will only be a matter of time before it completely disappears.”
He then turned to look at Yuan and continued, “Listen here, Yuan. Because of Qian Chu, the current leader of the Demon Sealing Clan, three Master Demon Sealers from the Demon Sealing Grotto were killed, and this isn’t the first time he’s indirectly killed our people. The Demon Sealing Grotto can only endure it so much before they make the Demon Sealing Clan pay for its leader’s crimes.”
“Therefore, I am advising you to leave it before things get too hectic. If you want to become a leader, you can become the leader of the Demon Sealing Grotto instead. I believe you have the capabilities.”
After a moment of silence, Yuan spoke, “So what you’re saying is… The Demon Sealing Clan will suffer because of the current leader. In other words, as long as someone replaces his position, the Demon Sealing Grotto won’t bother us any further. Is that correct?”
“Uhh… I understand where you’re coming from, but that’s not how this works. Even if the Demon Sealing Grotto is willing to forgive the Demon Sealing Clan, it is highly unlikely that someone will replace him. Ojan Chu, he won’t let anyone take his position even if he has to fight to his last breath.”
“Little founder, are you thinking about taking Qian Chu’s spot as the leader of the Demon Sealing Clan?” Yan Hara suddenly asked him.
“Hm? No, not at all. However, I do intend on removing Wan Chu from his position. He doesn’t qualify to be the leader of the Demon Sealing Clan.” Yuan said in a calm voice.

Yan Hara and Tang Zheng felt chills down their spine after hearing Yuan’s words, and they immediately began looking around to make sure nobody else had heard him.
“Y-You shouldn’t say such things out loud! Do you have any idea how many people admire Qian Chu? Even worse, if Qian Chu gets word of it, he will personally take care of you!” Yan Hara warned him.
“Hahaha!” Wan Yu suddenly began laughing out loud.
“You are truly a wondrous and incomprehensible existence! Tell me, how are you going to ‘remove him’? You have piqued my interest!”
“Don’t tell him anything. For all we know, he could run off to tell Qian Chu afterward.” Yan Hara sneered.
“I would never help Can Chu. He’s not only an egotistical bastard but also coldhearted to the bone. He’s someone that could sacrifice an entire city without batting an eye as long as he achieves his goal, almost like a demon in human skin. If I can assist in bringing him down, I would do so in a heartbeat.” Wan Yu shook his head.
And he continued, “You know, I had a relationship with many of the demon sealers that had been killed by Qian Chu. They were my friends.”
Yuan then spoke, “Even if you ask me to tell you, I don’t know how to remove him from his position— at least not right now. However, I will eventually think of something.”
“Little founder… Are you serious?” Yan Hara looked at him with a worried frown on her pretty face.
“It is one thing to fight for his position, but what you’re doing sounds like an act of treachery… You could—will be killed for it if caught.”
“Don’t worry, Senior Yan. I won’t do anything… for now. After all, I am still too weak to threaten anybody.” Yuan said.
“Aiya… That’s not what I am worried about…”
“You worry too much, Yan Hara. If you keep your mouth shut, nobody will find out about anything. In fact, the two of you are more of a risk to him than I am. After all, you’re both from the Demon Sealing Clan and work directly for Qian Chu. I, on the other hand, work for the side that wants to see him fall.”
“That’s it! I have had enough of your bullshit! How dare you suggest that I would do anything to hurt him!”
Just as Yan tiara prepared to confront Wan Yu, Tang Zheng quickly reacted and stepped between them.
“That’s enough from the both of you. Are you trying to worsen the already grave situation between our clans? If you don’t trust each other, I have a suggestion. Make an oath with heaven as witness that you will not say anything.”
“You want us to make a Heavenly Oath?” They looked at Tang Zheng with wide eyes.
“It’s either that or you continue fighting each other.” Tang Zheng nodded.,
