Chapter 887 - Tian Chenyu's Decision

"A demon with a zigzagging horn?" The demon mumbled in a low voice.

After a moment of silence, a wide grin appeared on its face, and it said, "Now that you mention it, I might have seen a demon like that before. Why do you care? Oh, let me take a guess. Perhaps you lost someone valuable to this demon? Hahaha!"

"I see… So you don't know anything about this demon. Well, not that it really matters. I will eventually find it as I wipe you demons from this world, one by one."

Tian Chenyu flicked his arm the next moment, sending the demon's head into the air and completely sealing it with the Demon Sealing Strike.

'Two down, one more to go.'

Sometime later, Tian Chenyu followed the last demon's scent until he reached the other side of the city.

However, by the time he'd arrived, the demon had already erased six families from the city and was preparing to leave.

"Hey, where do you think you're going, you lowly demon?" Tian Chenyu approached the demon as it reached the city gates.

"What the fuck did you just call me, livestock?" The demon halted its movements and turned to look at Tian Chenyu with a grim expression.

"What's wrong? You don't like it? I think it's quite fitting."

"Die!"

The demon suddenly attacked him without any warning.

[Demon Sealing Strike!]

A powerful and threatening aura that the demon couldn't comprehend erupted from Tian Chenyu's body.

'What is this feeling? My skin is crawling. Is it because of his aura? I don't like this feeling one bit.'

This is the demon's first time experiencing such an eerie feeling, but it didn't understand why. After all, it's never experienced the feeling of fear before.

And because of its ignorance, the demon did not even bother to avoid Tian Chenyu's attacks.

'This feeling… It's becoming more intensive… Becoming more uncomfortable…'

The demon suddenly halted its movements.

'I… cannot move my body…?'

When it looked down, the demon could see that its right leg had completely turned into stone.

"What did you do to my body, livestock?! What did you do?!" The demon roared.

"How annoying. This is the third time I've heard such a question today." Tian Chenyu snorted.

"The third time?" The demon's eyes widened with shock upon realizing something.

"You… Don't tell me that you had…"

A wide smile appeared on Tian Chenyu's face as he spoke, "Don't worry, I took care of them before coming to you."

"YOU BASTARD! A MERE LIVESTOCK! HOW DARE YOU DEFY US—"

Tian Chenyu shoved his sword into the demon's mouth in the middle of its outcry.

"Shut up, you're too loud."

And without any hesitation, Tian Chenyu poured demon sealing aura into the demon's body through the sword stuck inside its throat.

Once the demon was completely sealed, Tian Chenyu began making his way back home, where his parents were anxiously waiting for him.

"Chenyu! You're fine!" His mother immediately went to embrace him.

"I'm sorry for making you worry."

"What happened to the other demons?" Tian Aowei asked him.

"I took care of them. They won't be able to hurt anyone else for a long time… I hope."

"You hope?" Tian Aowei raised his eyebrows.

"Anyways, let's sit down and talk. I have something I need to tell you guys."

"Y-You want to talk? Right now? Why don't you get some rest first? You seem tired." His mother said.

Tian Chenyu pondered for a moment before nodding, "Sure."

He then returned to his room to rest for the remainder of the day.

While Tian Chenyu rested, the entire city was in an uproar about the demons' invasion, and above all, they were confused by the outcome.

The three demons that invaded their city had somehow turned into stone, something that has never happened before. Nobody saw what happened because they were all hiding inside their homes, but news of the demons turning into stone began spreading throughout the city like wildfire, and it would eventually make its way to the nearby cities.

Once cultivators from outside the city heard of the rumors, they made their way to Tian Chenyu's city to see the sealed demons for themselves.

"Who did this to the demons?" f r e e w e b n o v e l. c o m

This question would become the most asked question in the city for the next few years.

Eventually, peak experts from all over the world would visit the city to study the sealed demons and to find the person responsible for the demons, as they believed that this person could help them fight the demons and stop their terror.

However, this would not happen until Tian Chenyu had long left the city.

The following day after Tian Chenyu sealed the three demons, he approached his parents and said to them, "Mother, father, thank you— thank you for everything that you've done for me."

"W-What's wrong, Chenyu? Are you okay?" His mother asked him, feeling that something was wrong about his behavior.

"I have made a decision— a decision that you might not support but must be done." Tian Chenyu said.

And he continued, "I have decided to erase all demons from this world, and in order to do that, I must leave home and go on a long, long journey. I don't know how long it will take or if I will ever return, and I know that this will make you unhappy, but I must do this."

"E-Erase all demons from this world? Do you have any idea what you're saying, Chenyu? There's no way that's possible!" His mother exclaimed.

"Whether it is possible or not, we won't know until I try. Even if it's impossible, I still have to try." Tian Chenyu remained firm on his decision.

"No! I won't allow it! This family is already crumbling as it is! If you leave, it will truly be destroyed—"

"Dear." Tian Aowei placed his hand on her shoulder and shook his head.

"Chenyu is no longer a child. If he's decided on a path, it is our duty as his parents to support it, even if we cannot comprehend it."

"In fact, this might be the only way for his heart to heal."

"Even if you say that, he'll die! Are you really fine with letting him walk a path that's clear suicide?!"

"He won't die. I believe in him. He's already defeated three demons by himself, after all. If anyone can defeat the Demon Clan, it's him."

Tian Aowei then turned to look at Tian Chenyu and said, "Can you leave us alone for a bit? I will talk it out with your mother."

"Okay." Tian Chenyu didn't say anything else and left his parents alone.Google seaʀᴄh novelenglish.net . Fɪre.net

Once they were alone, Tian Aowei began trying to convince his wife to let their son leave.

Many hours later, they went to see Tian Chenyu, who was patiently waiting for them in his room.

"We've come to a conclusion." Tian Aowei said.

"Chenyu… Here, take this." His mother suddenly handed him a silver ring.

Tian Chenyu didn't ask any questions and accepted it.

"It's a spatial ring. It's a treasure often used by cultivators to store their luggage while they travel. It'll make your traveling a lot more convenient."

"Does this mean…"

"Yes, I— we both approve of your journey." His mother nodded with a gentle smile on her face.
