Chapter 1574  Nine Heavens Law and Order

Once they were finally alone, Kelan raised his hand and showed his faction's symbol, as long as his rank.

Yuan's curiosity was piqued at the sight of Kelan's symbol and rank. He raised an eyebrow and inquired, "What brings a high-ranking figure like you to the Fourth Heaven? I doubt it's a simple task like catching an escaped immortal."

Yuan pretended not to be part of the Celestial Overlord to see Kelan's reaction.

"There's no need to be on alert. My name is Kelan, and Senior Bai asked me to watch over you because he was worried that your fight with the immortal might go awry."

"Oh, is that so? I apologize if I had offended you in any way before, Senior." Yuan's attitude suddenly changed, becoming more respectable.

This dumbfounded Kelan.

'The way he treats his friends and foes are so vastly different. Even if I am someone slightly suspicious, he might not hesitate to cut me down.' Kelan thought to himself.

"Anyway, even though nothing happened to you, and you even managed to slay an immortal—albeit the wrong one—I must apologize for failing to save your life multiple times due to how absorbed I was in your fight."

"Your fight was truly mesmerizing and awe-inspiring. Unfortunately, you ended up killing someone you shouldn't have, and you even made it seem like you're a demon… or are you actually one?" Kelan inquired, seemingly unclear on his identity.

Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I am definitely human."

Kelan sighed in relief and said, "Thank the heavens. You would've made things really difficult for us if you were a demon. With that said, you'll probably still be hunted by the Nine Heavens Law and Order for killing their member, and rumors about you being a demon will spread."

"Your healing abilities that rival a demon will concern many people, and they might treat you like a real demon, even if you're a human. However, the Celestial Overlords will do everything they can to protect you."

However, Yuan shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I never intended to cause trouble for the Celestial Overlords. Even if they want to find me, they don't know my real identity yet, so they'll be chasing a phantom for a while."

"You're unfathomably bold… Nobody could be as calm as you if they knew they were being hunted by the Nine Heavens Law and Order…"

Yuan shrugged and said, "Anyway, since I am safe, does that mean you'll return to the upper heavens now?"

"No, I'll stick around a little longer. After all, it's been so long since I visited the lower heavens. I also want to know more about you, Junior. And once you recover from your fight, let's have a spar."

Yuan nodded, "Alright."

"Then I'll see you later." Kelan left the scene shortly after, returning to Senior Bai to notify him of their situation.

Yuan returned to the Pavilion of Knowledge.

"Yuan! You're okay!" Xi Meili's face immediately brightened after seeing his return.

"I told you I'd be fine." Yuan smiled.

"How was it? Did you kill the immortal?" she asked.

"No, he got away, but I did kill an immortal." "What…?" Xi Meili raised her eyebrows in a puzzled manner.

"It's a bit complicated, but this is what happened…"

Yuan recalled the events that had occurred during his battle.

"Heavens… what a mess…" Xi Meili's eyes were wide open by the end.

Meanwhile, Kelan requested an urgent audience with Senior Bai.

When Senior Bai received this urgent request, his eyebrows rose.

Sometime later, he met up with Kelan, who was waiting for him inside his world.

"Senior." Kelan respectfully bowed to him.

"What's the matter? To request an urgent audience, did something happen to Yuan?" Senior Bai went straight to the point.

Kelan nodded with a serious expression and said, "A lot happened, so sit back and prepare yourself."

Senior Bai immediately swallowed nervously.

"I watched our Junior fight the escaped immortal. It was quite something. He exceeded my expectations in every metric and more. This is how it went…"

While Kelan recalled everything he had witnessed to Senior Bai, the same thing was happening elsewhere with the group of immortals that had confronted Yuan.

"It's a demon, I tell you! We must contact the Demon Sealing Clan and the Demon Sealing Grotto as soon as possible!"

"This demon was unlike anything I've seen or heard! He wielded a sword and spear and had the aura of a beast!"

"He was only a Spirit King, but he could use Enhanced Sword Aura and fight several Divine Kings simultaneously!"

The leader of Nine Heavens Law and Order listened to the information with a confused and bewildered look on his face.

"A Spirit King that can fight an immortal with their cultivation suppressed to Divine King? Has demon-like regenerating ability? What kind of fucking creature are you guys making up? Did you guys get hit in the head too hard when trying to capture the escapee?" The leader couldn't believe what he was hearing. This entity sounded like something that wouldn't exist even in exaggerated fiction.

"This monster is real!" The immortals insisted.

The leader sighed, "Alright, I'll contact the Demon Sealing Clan and the Demon Sealing Grotto. Tell me everything that happened."

A few hours later, the leader of Nine Heavens Law and Order visited the Demon Sealing Faction's headquarters and requested an audience with Qian Chu, the current leader of the Demon Sealing Faction.

"It's been a while, Demon Sealer Qian." Qian Chu casually nodded and said, "I was told you have information on a powerful demon?"

"Unfortunately. My faction members encountered this demon in the Fourth Heaven while chasing after one of the Nine Heavens Eternal Grotto escapees. With that said, I am not certain this information is trustworthy. You'll understand what I mean in a bit."

"A demon in the Fourth Heaven? This would be troublesome if true." Qian Chu muttered.

"Alright, let's hear it. Tell me everything you know about this demon."
