The Devil Sword Swordsman
Ch. 220 - Demon Sealing Formation
"If you're looking for Huang Kun he's inside" Li Yong said. The man turned to the group of the Sacred Sword Alliance.
"I'm sorry it was so presumptuous, I didn't mean to attack you."
"Ah it's okay Senior Li, after all I know you're worried we're your enemy."
Li Yong drew a small smile but for a moment he relaxed that smile and realized the voice was so familiar. His eyes were on Xin Fai for quite a while but not a word came out of his mouth.
"You...?"
"Should I introduce myself again?"
"Xin Fai-!?"
"Yes, Senior Li."
Li Yong's face turned deep for a moment, appearing blue in both eyes. The man approached Xin Fai then hugged her tightly.
"Since that day you've all left, I never thought we could still meet today..."
Xin Fai did not reply to anything and just let Li Yong calm himself down first, it was hard to accept the presence of the person he had thought was absent for several years. Although Li Yong still thought this was just a dream yet he could sense that this was not a dream simply because it could touch the young man.
"Come in, let's talk about this inside."
Xin Fai nodded, along with Shen Xuemei who was walking alongside him. Upon entering this sect the disciples simply put on a wary and suspicious face to each other. Never again did they accept guests carelessly even though they were from a big sect. This increasingly strict guard certainly had a strong reason, so that no more bloodshed would take their lives from their side.
Arriving in a room now filled with Elders and guards, they were welcome to sit down before explaining their arrival.
Zhu Yue was the one who explained this first, the man had quite good speaking skills. The elders who were initially unhappy about their presence began to be able to accept, for a moment some of the Lotus Temple elders stared at Shen Xuemei inside.
The presence of the young man in the Lotus Temple will again invite an even greater problem, because his body is now the target of black warriors.
"We came here to deliver Shen Xuemei to his father, the Mayor said he would wait for his son at the Lotus Temple."
One of the elders in white robes spoke up. "of course. He said he'll be there in a few days, are you ready to wait?"
Xin Fai lowered his brows, it seemed that Shen Xuemei's father was a typical person who was busy with the Empire's political affairs. He doesn't have much time to do anything outside of his job.
"How many days do we have to wait?"
"Maybe a week."
"And it could be more, right?" xin Fai said successfully guessing the man's thought, it seems that waiting like this will only take a lot of time.
"Shen Xuemei will be treated back to the Shen noble family's residence. So you don't have to worry about that anymore, in waiting for his father's arrival we will ensure his safety and will escort him to their residence safely."
At least this decision lightened the duties of the Sacred Sword Alliance, Xin Fai nodded slowly with a slight turn towards Shen Xuemei. It seemed that he also did not mind staying in his family residence, rather than having to harm the Lotus Temple sect.
"Where are you going after this, Fai'er?" li Yong asked now. That nickname had not been heard by Xin Fai for long enough, then he just chuckled a little.
"The reputation of the Sacred Sword Alliance is indeed beyond doubt, lately the news of your massive movement has become the most talked about topic in the Empire."
"Senior was overly complimentary," Xin Fai said accordingly. "Senior Li, can I ask you something?"
"Whatis that? I'll do it while I can."
The two swordsmen of the Sacred Sword Alliance brought Ho Xiuhan right before them. It caused a huge question mark on the heads of the priests who saw it. It didn't take long to buy time Xin Fai immediately explained.
"Are you able to seal the demon inside this man's body?" tanyakanya.
"You mean?"
"Like you guys sealed the demon inside my body, can you?"
There was a sudden silence, Li Yong was like thinking heavily. In the current Lotus Temple only he is considered the most capable of mastering the science of sealing because the one who teaches him is Tao Wei directly.
"Fai 'er... The devil in your body with this man's body is different." He said as he checked Ho Xiuhan's body and was able to confirm the man was a Blood Devil Man by recognizing the scorpion tattoo on his chest.
The more black the tattoo, the more kills it has subverted. While the tattoo of the scorpion Ho Xiuhan himself was blood red, not too many lives had fallen on his hands.
"How can you be sure this works?" asked an elder, he certainly still clearly remembered the figure of Xin Fai who came to their sect a few years ago, unexpectedly now that little boy had become a leader of the Sacred Sword Alliance.
"The "devil that grew on his body came from the demonic monsters in my body as well. I'm sure this will work."
Hearing that they had no reason to hold him back, the reason Xin Fai still had time to consider before the elders finally agreed to it and immediately summoned some senior priests who would perform demon sealing formations.
Passing through the temple tower opposite him was a path leading to the basement, Xin Fai walked into the dirt road in silence. The members of the Sacred Sword Alliance were not allowed to come along, only Xin Fai, Li Yong, Ho Xiuhan and the rest were Lotus Temple priests allowed to enter.
A spacious room with many hanging chains reminded him of the past, at a time when this demonic power was still out of his control. Xin Fai stared at his own hand, it was somehow as far as he stood yet at least this second he had managed to master his demonic power.
Ho Xiuhan was chained in the middle of the room with sealing paper stuck to his body. The priests stood at their respective predetermined points.
For a moment a light with sealing spells shone, hooked in a circle from every point the priests stood. This sealing formation managed to make Ho Xiuhan realize, the man widened his eyes while shouting in a violent manner.
The sound of chains rang out a few times and almost one of them was missed if Li Yong did not strengthen the seal in order to suppress Ho Xiuhan.
A aura of darkness shot out from Ho Xiuhan's body and was absorbed directly by the sealing chains that glowed somewhat green, the man scavenged the ground trying to break free yet so powerful a seal bound his body.
The longer Ho Xiuhan got out of control. He tried to attack the formation by throwing whatever was nearby, one eye of the man was flushed red.
Blood dripped from one of his eyes slowly. Ho Xiuhan let out a shriek, bluffing furiously then smashing the chains that tied his neck.
Li Yong then opened his eyes to realize the rebellion, he issued a force large enough to make the chain bond tighter and tighter making Ho Xiuhan's neck reddened.
Although unable to do anything Xin Fai remained wary of the surroundings, he moved the sword using a space stance as the demon rampaged. Sure enough, not so long after Ho Xiuhan weakened a huge energy came out making the ceiling tremble violently.
The demon in Ho Xiuhan's raging body unleashed all the rest of his strength which resulted in the entire room now being filled with the demon's red aura.
