After departing from the Heavenly White Tiger Clan, Yuan began his journey back to the Rising Phoenix Clan, despite still having several months left before the one-year promise.
However, along the way, he was forced to halt when he spotted two groups of cultivators clashing in the middle of nowhere.
Typically, Yuan wouldn’t have paid such a scene any mind, as it had nothing to do with him. But this time, something caught his attention, as the attire of these cultivators looked familiar, compelling him to stay and observe.
"Hm? Those robes... Aren’t they the Demon Sealing Clan’s robes?" Feng Yuxiang commented after seeing them.
"Yes, and the other one belongs to the Demon Sealing Grotto," Yuan confirmed.
The Demon Sealing Clan and the Demon Sealing Grotto members noticed Yuan shortly after he arrived, but immediately stopped paying attention to him once they realized that he wasn’t reinforcement from the other side and continued their fight.
These members were mostly Bronze Immortals, with a few still in the Divine Realm.
"I have been getting really tired of you guys lately! Do you think you’re better than the Demon Sealing Clan because you’re slightly better at controlling Demon Sealing Aura?!"
"Hah! What Demon Sealing Clan? You guys are nothing but old news! There’s a reason why most of your original members have left and joined us at the Demon Sealing Grotto instead!"
"Right?! You’re just a bunch of envious bastards! That’s why you schemed against us during the Supreme Demon Sealer qualifications!"
"What scheme?! You’re just slandering us at this point!"
The battle intensified with each passing moment.
"Aren’t you going to stop them?" Feng Yuxiang asked.
Yuan replied calmly, "They may be fighting, but I don’t sense any real killing intent. They’ll be fine—it’s more like watching a bunch of kids squabbling."
Suddenly, a powerful presence descended upon the place, instantly halting everyone’s movement.
"What do you idiots think you’re doing?! Stop this immediately!" A familiar voice resounded the very next moment, and a beautiful woman appeared before them.
It was none other than Yan Hara.
"Senior Yan, they’re the ones who started this fight!" said one of the Demon Sealing Clan members.
"That’s right! They attacked us on sight! We were only defending ourselves!"
Yan Hara turned to look at the Demon Sealing Grottos with a frown.
"Explain yourselves," she demanded.
"What is there to explain? Your Demon Sealing Clan started this."
"..."
Instead of being angry, Yan Hara merely said, "Since nobody was seriously injured, I’ll let you leave. Get lost before I change my mind."
"Hmph."
The Demon Sealing Grotto did not stay and quickly left the scene.
"Senior Yan! Why did you let them go that easily?! They’ll think they can bully us and get away with it!"
"We need to fight back, or they’ll just keep doing it!"
Yan Hara looked at them and sighed. "Regardless of how you feel about each other, with the recent movements from the demon worshippers, we’ll need to stand together. Fighting among ourselves won’t just weaken us—it will endanger the rest of the world."
