Chapter 1286: Chapter 707: Golden Vase Chapter 1286: Chapter 707: Golden Vase The matter of the Space-Time Corridor was crucial to the Demon Clan's grand plan, and Logan's delay was indeed puzzling. He pondered for a moment, about to speak, when he heard a series of hurried footsteps outside the door, followed by the appearance of Logan's figure in sight.
Sheron Perri, seeing Logan return, instantly breathed a sigh of relief, as if a massive weight had been lifted off his chest. He hurriedly took quick steps forward, opened the door, and let Logan in. Logan's arrival slightly eased the originally tense atmosphere.
“Logan, you've finally come back,” Sheron Perri's tone carried a hint of reprimand, but it was mostly one of relief, “Everyone has been waiting for you. The matter of the Space-Time Corridor is urgent, why have you not gone there sooner?”
Logan gave a faint smile, his eyes flashing an imperceptible depth. “Some things take time to handle. But now, I have returned, and we can start to discuss important matters.” His voice was calm and firm, as if everything was under control.
Elder Talon Skyler quietly observed Logan from the sidelines. Although nothing unusual could be seen on the surface, his keen intuition told him that Logan seemed to be hiding some secret. He gently coughed and spoke slowly, “Logan, during this trip, did you find anything or make any discoveries?”
Hearing these words, Logan's gaze flickered, as if weighing what to say. After a moment, he slowly replied, “Indeed, there have been some discoveries, but let's discuss these matters later. For now, let us focus on resolving the issue of the Space-Time Corridor.”
Elder Talon Skyler nodded his head, not pushing further. He knew that as long as Logan had returned, all would be answered. However, he had a vague feeling that this matter might not be as simple as it seemed on the surface.
With Logan's return, the atmosphere within the Demon Clan Castle became tense and orderly once again. Everyone sat around the round table to discuss the specifics of the Space-Time Corridor. Elder Talon Skyler, on the other hand, observed each person silently, his mind brewing plan after plan to handle any potential contingencies.
In a secret room of the Demon Clan Castle, the dim yellow light flickered, casting shadows across two solemn faces. Elder Talon Skyler sat by a simple stone table, his piercing gaze fixed on Logan sitting across from him, as if trying to see through his thoughts.
“Your real body hasn't been in the room during this time; you must have gone somewhere else,” Elder Talon Skyler's voice was deep and forceful, each word striking Logan's heart, “Where exactly did you go? Or should I ask, to what place did you go?”
At these words, Logan nodded slightly, his face not showing much surprise. He seemed to have anticipated this question from Elder Talon Skyler and was prepared with an answer. “I went to some necessary places, took care of some necessary matters.” His response was vague and general, clearly not intending to reveal too many details.
Elder Talon Skyler narrowed his eyes, clearly unsatisfied with Logan's answer. “You certainly are quite agile; why didn't I see it before! However, it's just as well, for I too want to discuss with everyone about going on the Critical Journey. We leave tomorrow, it's quite lively outside today, and I suppose you have heard about the recent disappearance of members of the Human race!”
Upon saying this, Elder Talon Skyler's tone became serious. He knew that the disappearance of the Human race had already caused a stir among the entire Demon Clan, and the Critical Journey was even more relevant to the Demon Clan's future. He had to ensure that everything stayed under control.
Upon hearing this, Logan fell silent for a moment, then slowly began to speak: “To ensure everyone's safety, it's best we all stay inside the inn for a while, and not think about going out.”
Elder Talon Skyler frowned. He always felt that there was some hidden meaning in Logan's words, as if deliberately delaying time. “You wouldn't be thinking of dragging all of us along again, would you?” Elder Talon Skyler's tone contained a trace of displeasure, “We're not so easily fooled!”
Faced with Elder Talon Skyler's implicit threat, Logan appeared remarkably calm. He smiled faintly, his eyes revealing a profound and unfathomable light. “I, Logan, have always acted in an open and upright manner. What I say has its reasons. Everyone need only follow my arrangements, and I assure you everything will go smoothly.”
Elder Talon Skyler watched Logan, his heart still filled with doubt. But he knew that now was not the time for questioning. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. “Alright, since you say so, we will trust you for now. However, Logan, I hope you understand that the fate of us all is closely linked. If you have any plans or discoveries, you must tell us in time.”
Logan nodded, indicating understanding. He knew that Elder Talon Skyler's concerns were not unfounded. But he also had his own difficulties and plans, and now was not the time to reveal them.
As their conversation came to an end, the atmosphere in the secret room became heavy and oppressive once again. They both knew that the Critical Journey was filled with unknowns and dangers. Nevertheless, they had to forge ahead, fighting for the future of the Demon Clan.
In the spacious hall of the Demon Clan Castle, where the light was dim and warm, it was hard to dispel the tension that pervaded the air. Logan and Elder Talon Skyler stood opposite each other, their dialogue laced with a flammable tension, as if at the brink of explosion.
