Chapter 111 - Yun Canghai - Part 1 (1/2)
Outside the seal, Mesa had sent his clones to go and make sure that those he wanted knew he was alive. Xia Yuanba had, in his rage fueled grief, disappeared to somewhere. And no one, not even his sister Xia Qingyue, was able to stop him. After the whole incident at the Sword Management Terrace was over, Ling Kun left in a hurry towards the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region, he had left without saying goodbye to anyone. He had to report everything that happened inside the Heaven Secret Basin Realm to Sword Master Xuanyuan Wentian. The next day, the Blue Wind Imperial Family and the Frozen Cloud Asgard had also left without saying goodbye to anyone. Princess Cang Yue looked like she had lost her soul and didn't speak to anyone when they left, worrying Qin Wushan greatly.
On the Sword Management Terrace, Xuanyuan Yufeng stood there looking at the Heaven's Punishment Sword, under which Mesa was sealed. She was looking at the giant sword with nostalgic look on her face and gently caressing the stick that Mesa gave her.
'In the end I ended up not using the stick you gave me and now you're dead. At least I have something to remember you by. I will never forget that amazing night.' Thought Xuanyuan Yufeng with a gentle smile on her face.
”My love, what are you doing here? This is so unlike you.” Said Ling Yuefeng when he saw his wife standing at the Sword Management Terrace.
”I was just thinking how unfortunate it is. Mesa Uchiha was a once in a lifetime genius, one who was blessed by the heavens themselves. The fact that he ended up dying here just makes me a bit sad. It would have been something to see where his star would have ended up.” Said Xuanyuan Yufeng, looking at the giant sword.
”Yes, I was thinking the same thing. It truly is a shame that he was taken so early in his life. He still had so much potential. It would have been something to see where he ended up with all that potential.” Said Ling Yuefeng, agreeing with his wife.
But inside the seal, Mesa was lying on the ground in a pool of his own blood and with a massive hole in his chest. But as the seconds were ticking by, the hole in his chest was closing at a quick rate, clearly visible to the n.a.k.e.d eye. Yun Canghai, whose anger had subsided at this point, was astonished as he looked at Mesa's wounds heal at such a fast pace.
”What in heaven's name… how can anyone heal at such a fast rate! I clearly blasted a hole through his chest, he should be dead!” Muttered Yun Canghai to himself. But then he remembered that weird and menacing grin he had on his face when he had was captured by him and he tore a hole through his chest. So he decided to keep an eye on him and see what else would happen. Looking a little bit to the right, he saw the second person who came in here. This guy ended up in here without his knowledge and only after they were all sealed and his anger had subsided, did he notice him. He himself was uninjured, but kept completely still and pretended to be dead. Knowing that there would be no use in wasting his energy on him, Yun Canghai decided to ignore him.
A day or so later, he heard a groaning sound and saw that weird kid get up and stretch out his body without a care in the world.
”Ahhhhh! God, that was a nice nap!” Said Mesa. Hearing this, Yun Canghai who was so focused on him was dumbfounded and nearly had a sideways anime-fall. All this time he had assumed that Mesa was focusing on healing himself, turned out that he was just napping. Even Yun Che, who was so focused on staying still and pretending to be dead, was dumbfounded and broke his act.
”You were napping!!” Yelled out both Yun Canghai and Yun Che.
Standing up, Mesa looks to his left and sees Yun Che and shakes in disappointment: ”So, you've ended in here as well. Huh, dumb-dumb.”
”So old man, first off, thank you for sealing me into this place. I really needed the perfect excuse for some secluded training.” Said Mesa to Yun Canghai.
”Uhhh…. You're welcome…. I guess.” Said Yun Canghai, who didn't know what else to say.
”And second, I have got some good news and some news for you. The good news is, you are no longer gonna stay in this place, because I am going to free you. But the news is, not yet. I will get you out of this place once I am back from my training camp.” Said Mesa.
Yun Canghai looked at him for minute, and noticing the serious look on his face, couldn't hold back his laughter: ”Hahahahahah….!!! That was such a funny little joke! Kid, stop dreaming and let me tell you the reality you're facing. First off, you are stuck in here with me and you can't get out. No matter how much power you have, you cannot forcibly break the seal. Second, you can't free me from this seal, because this seal formation is tied to my soul. Meaning, that as long as I am alive, this seal will remain active. And there is no way that you can break it without killing me. And I still have a job to do once I find a way to get out of here, so I will not allow you to kill me!”
”And therein lies the solution to your problem. Because I am not some normal kid.” Said Mesa and simultaneously used the Gate of Babylon to open a portal and take out a weird purple dagger shaped in the form of a lightning bolt. Both Yun Canghai and Yun Che were watching with wide open eyes at Mesa use the Gate of Babylon and take out the dagger.
”Here, this is Rule Breaker. The ultimate anti-thaumaturgy treasure. With this thing, I can literally break any contract, curse, seal etc. etc. etc. in existence. So this pathetic Heaven's Might Soul Suppressing formation can very easily be broken by me. Let me show you by breaking those chains that bind you to that sword, so you can finally have some freedom to move around.” Said Mesa and stabbed Rule Breaker into the Meteorite Chains that bounded Yun Canghai to the giant sword. Once Rule Breaker touched the chains on Yun Canghai, an intense light formed that quickly subsided. After that, the Meteorite Chains all broke at the same time, thus freeing Yun Canghai from the giant sword and allowing him to be able to move again for the first time in a hundred years.
Seeing the accursed chains that bounded him to the giant sword for a hundred years and stopped him from moving around break apart, filled Yun Canghai heart with so much joy that he hugged Mesa with tears in his eyes: ”Hahahahaha…!!! The heavens haven't forsaken me after all! After all this time, I can finally move again! Hahahahahaha…!!”
After his excitement died down, he asked Mesa for his name: ”Kid! Tell me! What is your name? I must know the name of the man who has finally showed me the light of hope and freedom!”
”The name is Mesa Uchiha, the man who can make the impossible possible.” Said Mesa with a smirk.
After letting go of Mesa, he cupped his hands in front of him and gave Mesa a curtesy bow: ”Mesa Uchiha, I thank you for finally granting me the freedom to move around again. Know that I, Yun Canghai of the Yun Family, one of the Twelve Guardian Families, the loyal protectors of the Demon Emperor, owe you my life and I will do anything I can to repay this favor to you.”
Yun Che, who was sitting on the side, was quite surprised. Ever since he was banished from the Xiao Clan in Floating Cloud City, he has been looking for a trace of who his birthparents where. And now, he found someone who had the same surname as him.
”Eh? Senior, your surname is also Yun?” Asked Yun Che.
Yun Canghai's eyes widened as he heard Yun Che and turned to him: ”Junior! What'd you say, your last name is Yun as well? Looks like we are from the same clan, hahahahah! Tell me! What is your name?”
Yun Che gently smiled and said: ”This junior's family name is Yun and his name is Che.”
