Chapter 614 - Dragon Spatial Ring

'What happened?' Yuan wondered to himself as he watched Elder Xue leave the scene in a hurry.

The disciple was also dumbfounded by the turn of events, and she turned to look at Yuan with a profound expression on her face.

'Just who is this guy?' she wondered to herself.

Meanwhile, after leaving the prison area, Elder Xue went to summon other sect elders.

About half an hour later, Elder Xue sat in a medium-sized room with a dozen other figures, all females.

"What happened, Sister Xue?" One of them asked after everyone was seated.

"We have a problem," she responded with a deep frown on her face.

The atmosphere there immediately became serious when the others saw Elder Xue's expression, as she's rarely this solemn.

"First of all, a man had entered the Fairy Paradise," she continued after a moment of silence.

"What?! A man?! How dare this savage beast invade our sacred territory! Doesn't he know that men are not allowed in the Fairy Paradise, and breaking this rule is punishable with the death sentence?!"

"There are always people who want to try their luck. This is the 3rd man to invade our territory in the last 10 years."

"It's only a man, right? Why are you so serious about it, Sister Xue? Just kill him and toss his body back where it belongs like we always do." Another one said.

Elder Xue shook her head and said, "That's the problem. This person isn't just an ordinary man. He has a Dragon Spatial Ring with him…"

"Wait… What? A Dragon Spatial Ring?"

Elder Xue watched as everyone in the room widened their eyes after they realized the situation.

"Dragon Spatial Ring… You're telling me this man that invaded our territory is from the Royal Dragon Family?"

"Why would someone from the Royal Dragon Family invade our territory? They should know very well to not do such a thing, as that could potentially start a war."

"How do we know if he's true royalty? He could have stolen that ring for all we know."

"If he's really from the Royal Dragon Family, we cannot kill him so easily."

"Should we speak with the Sect Master about this?"

"Did you forget? The Sect Master is currently away to help the Fairy Empress."

"How troublesome…"

"Sister Xue, what do you think we should do in this situation?"

The people there all turned to look at Elder Xue, who was the most senior in the room.

Elder Xue closed her eyes to ponder.

After a moment of silence, she spoke, "We should verify his identity first."

"How are we going to do that? What if he lies? We will have no way to verify it unless we go to the Royal Dragon Family."

"Then bring someone from the Royal Dragon Family here to verify his identity just in case. Tell them about the situation. I'm sure they'll understand and cooperate. After all, this could potentially lead to another war."

"I will go to the Royal Dragon Family." Someone there immediately volunteered.

"Okay."

"I will handle interrogating that man." Elder Xue said.

Sometime later, Elder Xue ended the meeting and returned to the prison cell.

"Bring him down." Elder Xue said to the disciple there.

"Y-Yes!"

While the disciple worked on bringing Yuan back down, Elder Xue spoke to him, "This does not mean you're free. If you do anything funny, I will kill you. If you try to run, I will kill you. Do you understand?"

Yuan silently nodded his head.

Once he was released from the chains, Elder Xue pointed to the Dragon Spatial Ring and said, "Open it and dump everything out."

Yuan immediately hesitated for obvious reasons.

"Either you do it by yourself or I kill you and open it myself. Don't be mistaken. I can easily force open the Spatial Ring with my cultivation base. I am merely giving you a chance to show your sincerity." Elder Xue said to him.

Of course, she lied about killing him to scare him. However, she was telling the truth about opening the spatial ring by herself.

Although only the owners can open their spatial rings in normal circumstances, a cultivator with a strong enough cultivation base can forcefully open spatial rings and pouches at the cost of destroying the spatial ring.

"Alright, I will open it," Yuan said, as he was left with no other choice.

Elder Xue grabbed the Dragon Spatial Ring and tossed it to Yuan.

The moment Yuan had the Dragon Spatial Ring in his grasp, he immediately tried to log off the game.

Even if he doesn't really go anywhere and has to return to this place when he logs back into the game, at least he can delay this situation to a certain extent. Furthermore, it could confuse these people.

However, a notification popped up when Yuan tried to log off, leaving him speechless.

<You cannot log off during a hostile situation>

'I cannot log off?!'

This is the second time that he has encountered this kind of situation. The first time was when he tried to log off right before the Demon Lord denoted itself, but since he was in combat, it didn't let him log off, forcing him to take the explosion head-on.

"Wait are you waiting for? If you're planning something..." Elder Xue narrowed her gaze at Yuan when he stood there without moving for longer than she was comfortable with.

'Haaa… Looks like I really cannot escape this situation…' Yuan sighed inwardly.

He then opened the Dragon Spatial Ring and dumped everything out, feeling as though he was being robbed at gunpoint.

The next moment, a couple of items fell out.

The Soul Ensnaring Zither, Golden Dragon Robe, the Demon Lord's Demon Core, cultivation techniques, live-saving treasures, the Seven Colored Herb, and last but not least, the Dragon Ancestor's Blood Essence.

Elder Xue and the disciple stared with wide eyes as all of these treasures lay on the floor before them. Even though they didn't recognize half of these treasures, they could tell their value by its unfathomable aura.

'This guy… Just who is this man?!' Elder Xue cried inwardly.
