Preparing for the Demons' Invasion

"Grandfather, this isn't the time to joke. We have an emergency." Lan Yingying said to him as she retrieved the demon core and showed it to him.

"Hmm? What's that?" Grandpa Lan didn't immediately recognize the demon core since it has been many years since he last saw one.

However, when he finally realized what he was looking at, his eyes widened with surprise, and his playful expression turned solemn.

"Where did you get that demon core?" He asked her in a serious voice, and he continued, "Let's talk inside."

A few moments later, they returned to the table.

Once all four of them were fully seated, Lan Yingying recalled their encounter with the demon and how Yuan defeated it.

"We were attacked by a demon on our way to the city," she started off with this shocking information.

"What?! Impossible! The Lord's Sword Aura should have prevented them from getting so close to the city!" Grandma Lan said.
