Chapter 113 - Yun Canghai - Part 2 (True Version) (1/2)
(A.N.: To all my dear readers, this chapter is basically the same as the previous one. But I have edited this one and applied punishments for refusing the quest and punishment for failure of the quest. Thank you to the following readers who have come up with the punishment suggestions for refusing the quest and/or for failing the quest that I have eventually used: Gamesempie, kartikeya02, OverlordAinz1, aramirez0008.
And thank you to everyone else who pitched in with your suggestion. I have said this once before and I will say it again: All of you truly are a bunch of heartless, diabolical bastards and I f.u.c.k.i.n.g LOVE IT!!
So before you read this chapter, a quick headsup. This chapter is mostly the same as the previous one. But this one has been edited, because I was not very happy with the previous one. The reason that I did not delete the previous one, is because I love all the chapter comments and paragraph comments so much that I didn't want to delete the chapter and not share all of your collective work of art with the rest fo the world.
And lastly, enjoy this chapter)

”This is my Yun Family's… mark of an unawakened Profound Handle! It… It proves that you are a descendant of my Yun Family. You are my biological grandson!!”
”Wh… wh… what did you say?” Stammered out Yun Che, not believing what he just heard.
”That white Profound Handle imprint is the Yun Family bloodline's proof. The thing you wore since you were young is our Yun Family's treasure that we protect for the Demon Emperor's Family! I normally wear it on me, and it had never left my body. When we left for Profound Sky Continent to find the Demon Emperor, I entrusted it to my son… and my son entrusted it to you… You are the son of my son… I am your… biological grandfather!” Said Yun Canghai excitedly.
”R…r…really?! A…a…are you really my… grandfather?” Asked Yun Che carefully. At this point his mind went blank at the bombshell piece of news he had just been handed.
”It has to be! Remember when that junior of the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region said that twenty years ago, my son and his wife managed to sneak their way into the Profound Sky Continent. They had eventually come close to this place. But in the end they were hunted down by the Mighty Heavenly Sword. If we assume that that junior said twenty years because he rounded up, then it would make sense.” Said Yun Canghai excitedly. But Yun Che was still in a daze and still had trouble believing it.
”If you still don't believe me, then we shall perform a blood paternity test and proof our familial relation that way! It is the most indisputable way of proving whether I am your grandfather or not.” Said Yun Canghai as he made a cut in his finger and let out a few drops of blood.
The blood paternity test would be conducted by having two people mix a few drops of blood together and infuse just a smidgen of Profound Energy into it. If there were any familial relations between the two, then the drops of blood would mix together. And if there wasn't any familial relation, then the two drops of blood would separate.
Realizing that this could mean he would finally find a member of his family, Yun Che bit his thumb and drew out some blood. Dropping a few drops of blood on the drops that Yun Canghai had dropped earlier, he waited with baited breath for the result. After a few seconds, he saw the blood drops fuse, thus proving beyond a doubt that Yun Canghai is his grandfather.
But before he could even begin to process it, Yun Canghai swept him of his feet and with tears in his eyes and a laughter that could shake the heavens, hugged him and joyfully proclaimed: ”My grandson… you are my grandson… my biological grandson… biological grandson….!!”
Meanwhile Yun Che absentmindedly whispered: ”My grandfather… you're my grandfather… grandfather…”
”Ahem! Ahem!”
Both Yun Che and Yun Canghai look towards the source of the sound and see Mesa still standing there.
”I hate to break up the family reunion, but I think you owe us an explanation old man. Who are you and how did you get here?” Said Mesa.
”Sigh…! I believe I do. Well gather around, and I will tell you the story.” Said Yun Canghai and started telling his story.
And so he went on explaining about himself and how he got there. He told them that he was the patriarch of the Yun Family, one the twelve Guardian Families that serve and protect the Demon Emperor and his family. He in particular was named the Demon King, an honorary title meant to designate the number two of the Illusory Demon Realm, just behind the Demon Emperor. The Yun Family were the strongest of the Twelve Guardian Families and they were particularly famed for their family's innate ability, the Profound Handle, and went on to show off the Profound Handle, much to Yun Che's astonishment, but Mesa wasn't interested in it at all. He went on to talk about how one day the Four Sacred Grounds invaded the Illusory Demon Realm and started slaughtering the Illusory Demon Realm citizens. They somehow knew a lot of details of the Demon Imperial City, capital of the Illusory Demon Realm, and managed to sneak their way in and cause major havoc and chaos there. The Sacred Grounds invaded many times but were eventually beaten back by the Twelve Guardian Families. He went explaining how one day the Demon Emperor went missing. In order to get him back, he and twelve Grand Elders from the Yun Family tried to sneak into the Profound Sky Continent and try to rescue him. But instead, they walked right into an ambush and were subsequently slaughtered. Only he survived, albeit with grave injuries, and ended being sealed away in this place for the last hundred years. And during this latest sealing ceremony, he was also taunted with the fact that Little Demon Emperor, who would the one to succeed the Illusory Demon Realm throne was gone and that the Little Demon Empress is alone and her power was waning by the day.
Yun Che, who had been listening to the story, was getting madder and madder at the injustice his family and especially his grandfather had been suffering from for the last hundred years.
Listening to his story so far, Mesa had an idea what had happened. Someone from the Illusory Demon Realm itself has secretly been supplying information to the Four Sacred Grounds and had been coordinating with them. But from what he had gathered from Yun Canghai's story, was that the Four Sacred Grounds attacked them with a specific goal in mind. Looking at Yun Che and the Mirror of Samsara he was holding, Mesa connected the dots immediately.
'So that's what happened. Well, the least I can do is tell him and give him some closure on that burning question. After I rescue him, these two are on their own. I have no desire to go to the Illusory Demon Realm in the first place. They can figure out how to go there themselves and kill that Duke Ming guy themselves, it has nothign to do with me. And according to the original story, that Little Demon Empress is a legal loli and I have zero interest in that shit. Ophis and Jasmine are the only exceptions, seeing as how Ophis can transform into an a.d.u.l.t and curvy form and Jasmine will eventually grow up to look like Erza Scarlet, who is a true beauty with the right amount of curves in the right places.' Pondered Mesa.
(A.N.: So as you all might have infered from this, I am not a lolicon. Quite the opposite in fact, for me: Loli is NOT LIFE! So I will be honest with all of you, I like curvy woman, be they young or milf, curvy is the way for me. So for everyone who had been expecting a loli to joing the harem, I am sorry to disappoint you.)
”Hey old man.” Said Mesa, attracting both Yun Che and Yun Canghai's attention.
”I might have an idea. First off all, there is a traitor within the upper echelons of the Illusory Demon Realm, that much is certain. From what you've told me, this traitor must have dangled some piece of bait for the Four Sacred Grounds that they couldn't resist, and my guesses is that Mirror of Samsara. What do you think?” Said Mesa.
