Chapter 110 - The Demon Sealing Ritual - Part 2 (1/2)
Ling Kun wiped the spatial ring in his hands and dozens lumps of light yellow crystals hovered in front of his body. Along with a wave of his arm, these crystals all flew towards a corner of the imprisoned ”demon's” light yellow barrier and slowly merged into the barrier, becoming part of the barrier's power.
Suddenly, the color of the entire barrier became even deeper. Those yellow crystalline objects all contained a power sealing force. Along with their merging, the stabilization of the barrier was complete.
'Almost there.' Thought Mesa while he kept a close eye on Xia Yuanba.
”This demon's outer appearance is the same as us, and his profound strength is also what we cultivate, yet he possesses a type of special ability called 'Profound Handle'. Amongst the demons, those who possess 'Profound Handles' are few in number.”
And this back and forth continued on for a few minutes. During this time, Ling Kun had been taunting Yun Canghai by telling him that his son and daughter-in-law had tried to rescue him and failed. In the end they were pursued by the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region and fatally wounded. But in the end they managed to get back to the Illusory Demon Realm. Yun Canghai in turn had been cursing at Ling Kun and desperately trying to break his chains, but all in vain. He even tried to attack to Ling Kun, but the barrier contained his attack.
”Tsktsk, how pitiful.” Ling Kun shook his head: ”The former Demon Emperor's guardian angel, the 'King' of Illusory Demon World's millions of inhabitants, has now become a pitiful mad dog. I guess it's best send you down! See you again in twenty years!”
With a twist of his hand, the giant black sword started its descent down into the Sword Management Terrace again, where Yun Canghai would be sealed again for the next twenty years.
”I will definitely kill you… ALLL!!! I will definitely kill you all!!” Roared Yun Canghai as he kept attacking, even though the barrier stopped all of his attacks. In a rare moment of cool headedness, Yun Canghai stopped his attacks and looked towards the crowd. Stretching out his arm, he pulled it inwards and with his Profound Energy had caused an attractive force that was felt by everyone. But as this attractive managed to slip through the barrier, it had lost most of its strength and its effect was basically non-existent on everyone present. Everyone, but one person.
AAAHHHHH!!!!
Hearing a scream and looking towards the source, everyone could see Xia Yuanba flying through the air and colliding with the barrier. But just as he was about to sink into it, Mesa had appeared next to him, pulled him out and threw him back to the crowd. Looking back at Yun Canghai, Mesa smirked at him as the sword went down and sealed them both in. But what Mesa didn't notice, was that Yun Che also rushed forward to try and rescue Xia Yuanba at the same time as Mesa and ended up getting sealed with them.
”MESA NOOOOOO!!!!!” Screamed Cang Yue in fear as she saw Mesa go down with the 'demon' and fainted shortly after.
”NOO!! BROTHER IN LAW!!” Yelled Xia Yuanba and watched on powerlessly as Mesa and Yun Che both went down with the 'demon' and were sealed away.
Yun Canghai's hand had landed on Mesa abdomen and in his fury unleashed an attack that went straight through Mesa, but Mesa just stayed calm and kept smirking at Yun Canghai.
Moving just his lips, Mesa wordlessly told Yun Canghai: ”Hello old man, we have a lot to talk about.”
”Brother-in-law… Brother-in-law… Brother-in-law!!”
Xia Yuanba rushed forward as if he was insane, and threw himself at the Heaven's Punishment Sword. Both of his hands smashed the platform under the Heaven's Punishment Sword with *bang* sounds, until the skin on his knuckles had cracked open with blood. But the Heaven's Punishment Sword couldn't be shaken in the slightest even if all the power of the whole Heavenly Sword Villa were combined together. Let alone one Xia Yuanba, even ten million Xia Yuanbas would not be able to cause the slightest bit of damage.
Looking at what just transpired, everyone was filled with grief. Xia Yuanba was still banging against the Heaven's Punishment Sword in a desperate attempt to free Yun Che, Cang Yue had fainted and Qin Wushang was looking at the Heaven's Punishment Sword with tears in his eyes. He and Xia Yuanba had even begged Ling Kun to open the seal again, but to no avail.
Ling Kun took a deep breath, and spoke with a heavy voice: ”Preposterous! The suppression of the Heaven's Punishment Sword can't be released on a mere whim. The profound formation that I just activated required the cooperation of more than a dozen Heavenly Mighty Sword Region's elders and it also took a long time to finish…. Sigh! Even if it was possible to release it, so what? The wound he received just now… he has to be dead. He caused it himself… you all should… just give up.”
Realizing that there was nothing they could do, Qin Wushang wanted to take Cang Yue with him. Looking at Xia Yuanba, he saw him sitting there in front of the Heaven's Punishment Sword, completely still.
”Yuanba, stand up, you have to live on. Only then, would you be worthy of Mesa and Yun Che sacrifice.” Qin Wushang said dejectedly. After he finished speaking, there was no response at all from Xia Yuanba. He lowered his head, and wanted to pull Yuanba back up, but he suddenly saw two very distinct long streaks of blood on Xia Yuanba's face.
Getting back up, Xia Yuanba walked away. Even with Qin Wushan shouting after him, he didn't listen and kept on walking. Not willing to leave Cang Yue behind, he asked Ling Yuefeng to send someone after him.
”How could this happen… How could this happen…” Said Ling Jie. He eyes were devoid of all light and he just stared at the Heaven's Punishment Sword.
”Sigh… Elder Wugou, send someone to follow the one called… Xia Yuanba, don't let him get into any trouble. Furthermore, let Grandmother Jiumu go to Princess Cang Yue to check up on her and make sure she is alright.” Ling Yuefeng finished his instructions and sighed deeply. The achievement of becoming the champion of the ranking tournament with profound strength at the True Profound Realm was unprecedented, but just like this, a peerless genius seen once in a thousand years, had fallen. There was no way that anyone would not feel regret.

Back at the Frozen Cloud Asgard, Chu Yueli just came back into the room and just told them what she heard had happen at the Demon Sealing Ritual.
”Wh… at? What did you say… What did you say!?”
”I am so sorry sister, but I am afraid it's the truth. Mesa Uchiha and some kid called Yun Che were killed by the demon. They died after saving Xia Yuanba, who came with them. Their corpses are now sealed beneath Sword Management Terrace, together with the demon.” Said Chu Yueli sadly. Chu Yuechan was completely distraught and Xia Qingyue just sat there, motionless and staring out in front of her. With tears streaming down her eyes, Chu Yuechan wanted to rush out there, until they heard a voice.
”Hey! Who are you calling dead!”
