Cultivation Online novel Chapter 589

Chapter 589 - Staying Behind

"W-What was that sound just now?!"

"It sounded like an explosion!"

"Fuck! I really hope the demon didn't just break out of its seal!"

The grand elders panicked as they ran upstairs.

Meanwhile, Yuan tried his best to learn the Demon Sealing Strike even as they moved, as that was essentially his only chance of winning against a demon at his current strength.

Eventually, they reached the surface and returned to the main tomb.

"Seniors, I am going to borrow some of the weapons in here!" Yuan said to them, and without waiting for a response, he retrieved a greatsword that resembled the Empyrean Overlord in size from its display case along with a couple of daggers.

"Weapons? Don't tell me you're planning to fight the demon!" Senior Wang asked him.

Yuan nodded and said, "I can sense a powerful aura quickly approaching us from the staircase. The demon will be here at any minute. If I don't stay here to stop it, everyone will die. That's why I will stay here to stall the demon while you all evacuate the disciples."

"No!" Chu Liuxiang immediately refused.

Then she said, "If you're going to stay here, I will stay here with you!"

"You must not, Young Lady! It's my duty to guarantee your safety!" Sebastian exclaimed.

"I don't care! I am not going to leave Brother Yuan here to die!"

"Then I will stay here with the Young Master in your place!" Sebastian said.

"What can you do, Sebastian?! You may be strong, but you're only a Spirit Warrior!"

"Lulu, leave!" Yuan suddenly shouted at her.

"B-But…" Chu Liuxiang looked at him with teary eyes.

Yuan lifted his hands to wipe her tears, and he spoke in a calm voice, "Don't worry, even if I cannot defeat the demon, I won't die. I promise."

He then looked at Meixiu and continued, "You too, Feng… No, Meixiu. Leave this place with Lulu. If any happens to either of you… I will never be able to forgive myself."

After a moment of silence, Meixiu nodded her head, but she didn't say anything, mostly because she'll reveal the fact that she was crying behind her mask if she spoke now.

"No! I am not leaving you, Brother Yuan! We have yet to start our family! If you die, I will die with you!" Chu Liuxiang was still reluctant to leave.

Yuan sighed in an apologetic voice, "I'm sorry, Lulu…"

He then used his movement technique to get close to Chu Lixuiang, before knocking her out cold by hitting her with the sword hilt.

After catching the unconscious Chu Liuxiang, he handed her to Meixiu, "I'm sorry for the inconvenience…"

Yuan suddenly turned to look at the staircase, as he could feel the demon's presence getting incredibly close.

"Leave! Now!" He shouted at them.
