Ch 452: Binding Rope
Lang Yuankui then took out from his bosom a blood-red iron lock, looking quite sinister, and a similarly red key.
“This thing is called a Binding Lock, able to seal eighty percent of a person’s True Qi. If one wants to forcefully break the seal, they can, but they will suffer extremely serious backlash. Only with the key in my hand can the seal be safely removed.”
Lang Yuankui handed the Binding Lock to Li Hanzhou, smirking and saying, “Xiao Han, Wise is he who knows when to yield, do it yourself.”
Although Li Hanzhou willingly came out to protect the villagers, who knows if he might suddenly change his mind and attack them? Precaution must be taken.
Li Hanzhou understood his meaning and without hesitation, took the Binding Lock in his hand.
Seeing this, Lang Yuankui channeled a strand of True Qi into the key in his hand.
Click!
The Binding Lock in Li Hanzhou’s hand made a sound, quickly melting into Li Hanzhou’s palm. Immediately, bloodlines appeared all over his body, then disappeared.
And Li Hanzhou instantly felt as if countless invisible chains had appeared, blocking his Dantian and meridians throughout his body.
Lang Yuankui put the key away carefully, letting out a sigh of relief.
Now Xiao Han is as good as caught!
“Consider yourselves lucky!”
Lang Yuankui glanced at the villagers of Xiaohe Village, sneered, and had his subordinates escort Li Hanzhou out of the village.
The villagers, no longer in mortal danger, watched Li Hanzhou’s receding figure, their hearts filled with emotion.
A Human Race Sword Immortal actually appeared for them, little demons; this was something they hadn’t dared to imagine.
And the Deer Demon family, being most familiar with Li Hanzhou, felt it most deeply.
Lu Yuanhua and Lu Yueya silently watched Li Hanzhou’s figure, feeling a deep pang in their hearts.
They wanted to stop them from taking Li Hanzhou away, but they knew that with their humble identities and meager strength, going up against them would only lead to death.
“Big Brother…”
Lu Xiaoxiao’s whole body trembled uncontrollably. She glanced at Li Hanzhou’s back and raised her hands to cover her face.
She covered her face, but she couldn’t stop the tears sliding from the gaps between her fingers.
Liu Dongyue looked back at the villagers still standing where they were, waved his hand, called one of his subordinates, took a pouch of silver from his bosom, and handed it to the subordinate.
“Give this silver to them.”
After giving his instructions, Liu Dongyue smiled and came to Lang Yuankui’s side.
“Brother Lang, I wrongly accused you. I didn’t expect Xiao Han to actually be hiding here.”
“Humph!”
Lang Yuankui snorted coldly without speaking, but a genuine joy appeared on his face.
This tremendous merit was finally in his grasp. Countless people would likely envy and resent him. However, before he delivered Li Hanzhou to Huang Tian and the Four Great Demon Saints, he absolutely could not reveal it.
He couldn’t let others present casually spread the news, otherwise other Demon Race members might try to steal the credit.
Thinking this, Lang Yuankui proactively spoke to Liu Dongyue.
“Brother Liu, since we have the person, let’s forget our past grudges. However, the journey is long, and we would appreciate your help in looking after him.”
He planned to share some of the merit with the Green Snake Race, so they would not spread the news, and would instead help keep it secret.
Anyway, the lion’s share of the merit was still his; the small loss was insignificant.
“Certainly, certainly.”
Liu Dongyue replied with a smile.
The Blood Wolf Tribe members escorted Li Hanzhou to a ship, and to the tent they had temporarily set up on the dunes.
Lang Yuankui didn’t intend to waste time. The sooner Li Hanzhou was delivered to the Demon Saint, the more at ease he would be.
So he had his men abandon the tent set up on the dunes. After preparing sufficient water and food, they set off immediately towards the location of Huang Tian and the Four Great Demon Saints.
They crossed mountains and valleys, and as time slowly passed, the sky gradually became enveloped in the night.
“Sir, we’ve traveled so far, perhaps we should rest?”
“Yeah, I haven’t eaten all day, I’m starving and exhausted.”
“…”
The Demon Race members all looked at Liu Dongyue and Lang Yuankui, their expressions showing intense fatigue.
During the day, not only did they have to travel, they also had to focus all their attention on Li Hanzhou, afraid of any mistakes; they were extremely tired.
“Then let’s rest for a while.”
Lang Yuankui considered it and spoke; he was also a little tired.
So everyone found a relatively tall dune that could shield some of the wind and sand.
They arrived at the bottom of the dune and made it their temporary resting place.
The Demon Race members built bonfires and began to prepare dinner.
Liu Dongyue had always lived a life of luxury within the Green Snake Race, so he didn’t need to cook.
He looked at his subordinates who were busy, and said, “You all sit down, I’ll go relieve myself.”
After saying this, he went to the other side of the dune.
Feeling the strong wind, Liu Dongyue reached out to test the wind direction, and finally took out a bottle from his bosom and shook it.
After confirming that the amount was sufficient, Liu Dongyue slightly pulled out the cork, tied it to a prominent piece of dead wood, and finally smashed a hole in the bottom of the bottle.
The wind and sand blew fiercely, causing the bottle to shake violently. The cork at the mouth of the bottle became increasingly loose under this external force, and it was only a matter of time before it completely fell off.
As soon as the cork fell off, the wind would blow through the hole at the bottom of the bottle.
Liu Dongyue brushed the sand off his hands, took a pill from his bosom, and put it in his mouth, leisurely walking back.
When he returned to the bottom of the dune, he just happened to pass by a Blood Wolf Tribe junior demon who was clutching his groin, looking flustered.
He almost bumped into Liu Dongyue.
“In a hurry to be reborn?” Liu Dongyue couldn’t help but yell.
“I’m sorry, sir, I’m in a hurry to relieve myself.” The junior demon quickly apologized; he dared not offend this person.
“Come, cheers, let’s celebrate our imminent success!”
“Today is a great day, the most glorious day for our Blood Wolf Tribe!”
“When I get back, I must tell everyone about this. After all, who has ever personally captured an Immortal Realm strong person?!”
“…”
By now the food was ready. The Blood Wolf Tribe members enjoyed the delicacies and drank fine wine heartily, their conversations filled with pride.
In the past, they could only dream of meeting an Immortal Realm strong person, and even if they did, they would have to be humble and subservient.
But now they had personally captured Xiao Han, the Human Race Sword Immortal. What a glorious feat! Enough for them to boast about for a lifetime!
