The General's Genius Daughter

Chapter 333 Resealing

The Sun Moon Deity fumbled inside his Storage Ring and finally fished out a scroll.

Hua Qiyue immediately unfurled it. It contained a rune sealing art.

Since she, Yun Shimo and the Sun Moon Deity all understood runes, it would not be too difficult to execute such a sealing art.

“The requirement is that you must have reached the first level of Great Deity. I’ve just reached that level. So it shouldn’t be a problem, right?” Hua Qiyue glanced at the scroll and then threw it to Tianpi.

When Tianpi saw the procedure inside, his wan face showed indifference. “It doesn’t matter. Let’s try it.”

Hua Qiyue heard him and was exceptionally happy. After Tianpi had been resealed, he could come out after the demonic energy in his body cleared.

Hua Zun was rather suspicious. “Will it work? The rune sealing art 10,000 years ago was very powerful. Hare, are you sure your scroll isn’t a counterfeit?”

The Sun Moon Deity started to glare at Hua Zun in anger. “You’re the counterfeit one!”

Hua Zun caressed his head dejectedly and said no more.

“Let’s do some preparatory work first. Master, get out of bed now!”

With these words, Hua Qiyue grabbed the scroll and dashed out in high spirits. After all, it wasn’t right for a girl to stay too long in a man’s bedroom.

Hua Qiyue took the scroll to under the Bodhi Tree. Early that morning, Tianci had left for Ice City with the Man-Hunting Insect and the Asura Chicken. That little fellow would take a trip there every few days to amuse himself.

The temperature outside was extremely low. Soon, Hua Qiyue’s nose and face were frozen purple.

Yun Shimo felt some heartache when he saw this. He started to erect a barrier, condensing his anima energy and blocking out all the surrounding cold air. Within an instant, all was warm inside the barrier.

Hua Qiyue ignored Yun Shimo, concentrating on studying the sealing art.

Hua Qiyue had never executed a sealing art before. From the written procedure, it did not seem too difficult. It might even be said to be simple.

But she did not know whether it would work on Tianpi.

When Hua Zun, the Sun Moon Deity and Tianpi all arrived to under the Bodhi Tree, Hua Qiyue raised her eyes and said, beaming. “The steps are very simple. Are you sure this sealing art will work on Master?”

Hua Qiyue asked, looking at the Sun Moon Deity.

The Sun Moon Deity gave a cold snort. “Humph, this is the only scroll I have. I’ve only collected this one sealing art. I have no more.”

In other words, they could use no other sealing art.

Tianpi’s pale face was full of laziness. “Try it and we’ll know. No need for worries. There won’t be any ill effects if we fail.”

“Wrong. If we can’t seal you in, we will instead stimulate the demonic energy inside your body. Then you’ll turn into a devil.” The Sun Moon Deity was once a companion of the immortals. It was indeed quite knowledgeable about everything.

Tianpi still shook his head indifferently. “Let’s try it!”

Even if the demonic energy was triggered, he could still suppress it. They had no need to fear.

Hua Qiyue hesitated and glanced at the Sun Moon Deity. It nodded, indicating that they should give it a try.

But Hua Zun shook his head worriedly. “We haven’t try sealing before. Besides, Tianpi’s powers are so strong. Once we trigger the demonic energy, his powers will increase manyfold. I’m afraid...”

Yun Shimo had remained silent. Hua Qiyue ought to have the ultimate say over whether they should seal Tianpi in or not. In actual fact, Yun Shimo was against it.

“Lad, what’s your take?” The Sun Moon Deity glanced over to Yun Shimo.

Yun Shimo shook his head. If he was to express his opinions, he would not hide his views.

“There will be certain risks. Like Hua Zun says, once we trigger the demonic energy, he will turn into a devil. Then the situation will be even more difficult to control,” Yun Shimo said flatly, watching Tianpi’s pallid face.

Tianpi raised his brows and said very disdainfully, “Don’t worry. Even if I turn into a devil, I will have the ability to control myself.”

“Humph, you keep saying that you can control yourself. But why couldn’t you control yourself when you killed Xian’er? She was your greatest love!” Hua Zun heard him and retorted coldly.

Tianpi’s heart seemed instantly lacerated by a knife. He silently bowed his head. “This time, if I lose my sanity...”

“Then what?” “You will kill Qiyue and us. So what shall we do?” Hua Zun was aggressively refuting him.

“Cut that crap. Wasn’t it all because of you and your friends? If you guys hadn’t tricked him into swallowing the Hallucinatory Pearl, he would not have turned out this way!” The Sun Moon Deity was neither friend nor foe to Tianpi and Hua Zun. He vacillated between their stances.

Hua Zun glared coldly at the Sun Moon Deity, tightly pursing his lips. He said no more.

Hua Qiyue looked at one, and then at the other. Cold sweat broke out on her palms. “So... Master, what shall we do?”

“Let’s try it. If I really start to demonize, I can naturally suppress it.” Tianpi thought for a while and replied seriously. Every midnight over the past few days, the demonic energy inside him would threaten to wreak havoc, but he could still suppress it.

When Hua Qiyue saw that Tianpi was confident, she chose to believe him. So she got the others to set up the array.

Under the Bodhi Tree, Hua Qiyue placed the green jade gourd in the center of the array. The jade gourd began to sense the power of the sealing array. It instantly started to scintillate with green light.

Tianpi stood in the middle, his eyes lightly shut. He was trying his best to suppress the restless demonic energy inside him.

Hua Qiyue, Yun Shimo, Hua Zun and the Sun Moon Deity each took up one side of the array. They injected spiritual energy in all at once. The sealing array immediately started to glitter with a golden light. The runes in the array began to waver and sparkle.

The runes were scintillating with a holy light. Even the Bodhi Tree started to tremble, as if sensing something.

Hua Qiyue was extremely nervous. Although she had undergone many battles, this was the first time she had tried executing such a grand sealing array for Tianpi. So naturally she was tense.

Besides, if something went wrong and Tianpi went berserk, it would be the start of a tragedy.

The lights in the array became brighter and brighter. The light from the green jade gourd intensified as well. Tianpi’s eyelids started to twitch uneasily as cold sweat fell in large drops.

All the lights had gathered within his body. Tianpi now resembled a luminous object. No one could see the expression on his face.

Hua Qiyue and the rest were all trying their best, injecting all their spiritual energy into the array to steady it.

But at that moment when they were all concentrating on activating the array, the luminous body in the center— Tianpi’s body— started to emit a massive energy fluctuation.

Hua Qiyue was overcome by shock. She desperately tried to suppress that fluctuating aura!

Yun Shimo and the others were also shocked. They did not expect the demonic energy inside Tianpi’s body to resist, even before the sealing array had been activated!

Tianpi was also strenuously trying to suppress the demonic energy. But the demonic energy seemed almost sentient. It could sense the disadvantageous situation it was in. So it did its utmost to resist.

Hua Qiyue began to feel the strain more and more. Although she was at the first level of Great Deity and the other three at the great completeness of Great Deity, none of them felt relaxed or easy.

Tianpi shut his eyes tightly, desperately trying to suppress the demonic energy attempting to demonize him. A scar started to tear open on his forehead. Tianpi suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were bloodshot!

Tianpi had demonized!

That demonic energy seemed to be unleashed. With a loud boom, it rebounded all the lights and energy oppressing his body!

Hua Qiyue and the others were forced to take several quick steps back by the detonation. The Sun Moon Deity started to yell, “Quick... let’s activate the array again!”

Hua Qiyue’s forehead started to break out in cold sweat. She had almost used up all the spiritual energy inside her body. It would be even more difficult now to reactivate the array.

Yun Shimo unhesitatingly scribbled a few runes. His spiritual energy was several times that of Hua Qiyue. So naturally, he found all these easier going.

Yun Shimo had not yet set up the array when another massive force rammed against him. Yun Shimo retreated several steps, the corner of his mouth trickling with blood.

The demonic energy inside Tianpi’s body was so maniacal that it seemed to be tearing his entire person apart. If Tianpi did not bow to its demands, he might really detonate and die!

“All of you, retreat!” Tianpi bellowed. Crimson and white lights intertwined in his body, casting a similar reflection on the sky where crimson intermingled with the white.

The Sun Moon Deity had no choice but to retreat. Hua Zun could not control him either. All of them retreated to 30 meters away, watching Tianpi under the Bodhi Tree. He was already sitting cross-legged, desperately trying to hold down the madly raging force within his body.

Tianpi could feel his skin opening up with big gashes. His internal organs seemed bloated. He could feel a constant, bone-racking pain. His brain seemed incessantly pricked by 1,000 needles. If he relaxed, he might not be able to restrain that powerful demonic energy and would turn into a devil!

“Soul Allaying Art!” Tianpi gave a loud growl. The white light on his body was now even more blinding. In an instant, it had suppressed the raging crimson light.

Hua Qiyue held her breath and focused her eyes, quietly observing the scene. She could feel her skin creep and her blood curdle.

After all, if they failed and Tianpi became a devil, all of them would not be his match even combined.

But she saw Tianpi sitting silently there, gashes appearing on every inch of his skin. Blood was seeping out. But once the crimson light had been suppressed, his wounds did not look so gruesome.

An eye-catching riot of red splashed across the snowy ground. It looked exceptionally glaring. Hua Qiyue’s bosom was heaving. Her heart surged with pain when she saw Tianpi with cuts all over his body.

“I didn’t expect him to be able to control himself...” The Sun Moon Deity began to sigh quietly.

Hua Qiyue strode out and dashed over, helping the feeble, blood-drenched Tianpi up. “Master, Master... how are you feeling?”

Tianpi slowly opened his eyes. His bloodshot eyes had resumed its former profound blackness. He softly shook his head. Even that one movement caused his whole body to jerk with pain.

“I’m fine...”

“You still say you’re fine? Look at you...” Hua Qiyue helped him up, feeling a pang in her heart. They headed for the Ice Palace. Yun Shimo silently watched their departing figures, his heart overwhelmed with melancholy.

The Sun Moon Deity pursed its lips and cast Yun Shimo a glance. “Stinking lad, go and take a look. If you won’t, that lass will be snatched away by another man!”

Yun Shimo bowed his head and went silently after them.

Hua Zun’s expression was even more crestfallen. Yun Shimo might have a chance, but he had none at all. Because neither Hua Qiyue nor Tao Xian’er had ever loved him.

After helping Tianpi to his bedroom, Hua Qiyue handed him a clean set of clothes and waited outside the door. Tianpi needed to take some pills to heal his wounds. Only then could he take off his blood-drenched robes.

After one hour, the door of the room opened. Tianpi stood there, his face ashen white. He stared into Hua Qiyue’s watery and anxious eyes.
