Against The Gods With An Anime System 110 The Demon Sealing Ritual - Part 2

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: "h.e.l.lo 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!"

Looking over to the source of the voice, they saw Mesa teleport into the room. Immediately after, he was tackled to the ground by both Xia Qingyue and Chu Yuechan who were both crying tears of joy, happy to see him while he has hugging them both back.

"Mesa! We thought you were dead." Said Chu Yueli as she approached him.

Hearing that they thought he was dead, Mesa immediately set the record straight for them: "Alright, let me set the record straight for you all, once and for all! First off, I am unkillable to the point of nigh immortality. And second, why didn't you check the Vivre Card I gave you before you a.s.sumed that I was dead."

Hearing that, Chu Yuechan, Chu Yueli and Xia Qingyue all started looking sideways and didn't dare to meet Mesa's gaze cause he right. They had jumped to conclusions and a.s.sumed that Mesa had died without checking the Vivre Card first.

"Sigh….! But anyways, I have come here for a different purpose. I came here to tell you that I had been sealed underneath the Sword Management Terrace. But with my teleportation powers, I can easily escape it. But what I want you to do, is pretend that I am dead and keep the fact that I am alive and free a secret." Said Mesa seriously.

"But why?" Said all three of them at basically the same time.

"Because of what happened in the Heaven Secret Basin Realm, I had come to the conclusion that I need to go into secluded training for a while. And using the fact that I am supposedly dead, I can make sure that n.o.body will look for me and so no one will disturb me." Said Mesa.

"But, you promised you would go with us to the Frozen Cloud Asgard." Said all three of them.

"Of course I will go. You just go back and once you're all back, I will simply teleport in. Just to make sure that I don't come in at the wrong time, break this stick and I'll come teleporting in." Said Mesa as he Chu Yuechan the same kind of stick that he gave Xuanyuan Yufeng.

"And one more thing…" Said Mesa as his demeanor went from a little serious to dead serious: "Stay away from the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region. What they have been telling us is not what they want us to know. That so called demon is named Yun Canghai and he is the grandfather of Yun Che, that kid that I got stuck with in that seal. Apparently, the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region and the other Sacred Grounds had attacked the Illusory Demon Realm and kidnapped the Demon Emperor and that so called 'demon' came here to rescue him and walked straight into an ambush. I knew from the beginning that the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region were hiding something, but this just confirmed it. But one thing I am sure of is, that the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region are planning something else. So keep your distance from them at all times."

Telling them this, Mesa could see in their faces that they were shocked at this revelation.

"Well then, I'll be off. Once you've reached the Frozen Cloud Asgard, break that stick and I'll come over immediately." Said Mesa before he teleported away.

A few hours later, in Cang Yue's room. It has been a few hours since Cang Yue had fainted. When she woke up, she looked like she had lost her soul and just stared out into s.p.a.ce in front of her. Qin Wushang and Ling Jiumi were there, but she told them that she wanted to be alone for a while and so they left her.

"Mesa, you can't be dead. You just can't." Mumbled Cang Yue to herself in sadness with her hands covering her face.

"Well good news, I am not dead."

Caught by sheer surprise, Cang Yue quickly looks in the direction of the voice and sees Mesa sitting next to her bed.

"Mesa! You're alive!" Yelled out Cang Yue happily and flew into his arms and locked lips with him. After a while, they had separated.

"Of course I am not dead. Didn't you check the Vivre Card I gave you?" Said Mesa. Cang Yue suddenly had a look on her face that said 'of course, how could I have forgotten'. But realizing that she had jumped to conclusions and a.s.sumed Mesa was dead, she didn't dare to look him in the eyes.

"Seriously! You just a.s.sumed I was dead. Why do you think I gave you that Vivre Card if you just a.s.sume I'm dead?" Said Mesa in a bit of a chastising way.

"Sigh…! Anyways, I have come here to tell you that I am not dead. But I need you to pretend that I am dead." Said Mesa.

"But why?!" Asked Cang Yue shocked.

"Because something happened in the Heaven Secret Basin Realm that nearly cost me my life. And because of that experience, I had decided to go into a secluded training. And the fact that I 'dead', is just better for me, since people are not going to be looking for me." Said Mesa.

"But… but how long will you be gone then? What if I want to see you?" Said Cang Yue in a sad tone.

"Then I will come back to you. You still have that bracelet that I can teleport to, so I can always come to you no matter where you are. All you have to do is break this stick and I'll come over immediately. Just make sure you're completely alone when you break the stick." Said Mesa and gave Cang Yue the same kind of stick he gave to Xuanyuan Yufeng.

"Oh, by the way. Before I go, I want to tell you one thing. Stay away from the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region. What they have been telling us is not what they want us to know. That so called demon is named Yun Canghai and he is the grandfather of Yun Che, that kid that I got stuck with in that seal. Apparently, the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region and the other Sacred Grounds had attacked the Illusory Demon Realm and kidnapped the Demon Emperor and that so called 'demon' came here to rescue him and walked straight into an ambush. I knew from the beginning that the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region were hiding something, but this just confirmed it. But one thing I am sure of is, that the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region are planning something else. So keep your distance from them at all times." Said Mesa, shocking Cang Yue.

"So, I'll be off then. Make sure you pretend I am dead and I will see you once you're back at the Blue Wind Imperial Palace and alone in your room." Said Mesa before quickly giving Cang Yue a kiss and teleporting out of there.
