Chapter 604 The name to not be spoken
"I am not sure... does Senior have any errands for this Junior to run...?", the man called Gui Jianyu, tired of being here without knowing why while witnessing this spectacle, clasped his hands in front of his chest in a subservient manner, slightly rubbing them together.
"Ah, mmn mmn, no, mmn mm *gulp*, I just called you to see how fast you will come", the young man on the sofa chuckled munching on the grape.
"... Haha... of course I arrived as soon as I could...", Gui Jianyu first froze, and then made a bright smile that almost closed his eyes, hiding the look in them.
"Hahaha, kidding, I'm kidding. Don't make that face", Linghun Mo chuckled, rising up to sit, grabbing and fondling Gui Xiaolan's curves, eliciting a sensual moan from the latter, as he looked at her Father with a grin, "I called you because there have been some news"
"From the Azure Eagle Continent?", Gui Jianyu's voice became reinvigorated as interest flashed in his eyes.
"Not exactly. That alchemist is being shady for some reason, I haven't received news ever since the continent went into shutdown, nothing directly from him either. Though if he went back on our agreement I will make sure he pays for it", anger could be glimpsed for a moment in the Blood Demon's eyes as he narrowed them.
"Ahn~! Lord Mo~ you're hurting me~", Gui Xiaolan spoke in a high tone with rebuke a he relaxed, smiling while turning to her.
"My bad", he whispered leaning over to her.
"Then...", Gui Jianyu asked with a bit of confusion.
"From the Empire", busy with the woman in his arms, Linghun Mo did not turn at his guest while speaking, "It seems that little bird has fled her cage, so the Nie Family has contacted me. I thought I'd let you know since you have been so focused on her..."
Gui Jianyu's eyes revealed a glint of excitement after hearing the news, all hints of displeasure disappearing from his demeanor.
"Thank you! Senior! Thank you so much for your magnanimity and generosity!", he deeply bowed as Linghun Mo smiled.
"Hahaha, you better remember that feeling and words for when we break out of this cage and ascend. I looked after you because you are the descendant of that Gui Clan, after all" the Blood Demon made a remark finally turning his gaze away from the woman.
Which did not sit well with her, as she made a sulking face, and a dejected sound "Uuu... what about me?"
"Hahaha, and because of Xiaolan. If it wasn't for your daughter I might've not supported you", Linghun Mo's gaze turned affectionate again as he made a wide grin turning back to her, his eyes shining with lust.
"Of course! I shall remember that!", Gui Jianyu bowed, inwardly grimacing.
'Looking after, my foot! Pthui! When we were outside you didn't even dare say the wrong word in front of my family name!
And Xiaolan? Hah! If it wasn't for the circumstances she wouldn't even look at you! You forgot how you chased after her?!
With her Physique, as well as skills in Lust Cultivation and Dual Cultivation, she has you wrapped around her finger like a lap dog! And that finger is the middle finger pointing at me!'
His inner thoughts boiled with anger, as his daughter's eyes turned cold for a moment as she looked at her father, not stopping the seductive laugh even for that moment, while her lover was busy with her body.
"But that is not the only news, the ones who trashed your branch Sect have returned as well", Linghun Mo spoke again, grasping Gui Jianyu's attention once more, "They also seem to have made one of the Elders of my Blood Demon Cult angry as his son disappeared last year, and after thorough investigation it was tied to the same group"
"Hmm? Aren't they from..."
"Which is why I told you that the news are 'not exactly' from there. Because there might be something they know. What's more it is some brat that's apparently surrounded by beautiful women, his name is... Wu Long", Linghun Mo spoke, but as soon as he said that name the woman in his embrace shuddered and froze, as did her Father standing to the side.
"Hm?", the Blood Demon raised his head to look at her, and then as a light of recollection appeared in his eyes, a wide grin curled his lips and he started laughing "Hahaha! You Lust Cultivators are such scaredy-cats when it comes to that name, I completely forgot hahaha!"
"It is not a laughing matter! You know I don't like to hear Slaughter God's name!", Gui Xiaolan furrowed her eyebrows as Linghun Mo instantly made an apologetic look.
"I'm sorry... but he left the Boundless Mortal World so long ago that let alone you, even your ancient ancestors were not born back then yet... why fear someone's name if that someone did not and cannot affect you?", he said with genuine confusion.
"It's still considered bad luck and bad omen calling that name", she spoke with a light frown, feeling a bit uncomfortable.
"You wouldn't understand... Lust Cultivators would not have to seek refuge in the embrace of the Corrupt Path if it was not for him... one man... ONE MAN! That one man was enough to make it so! From the moment you start treading on the path of Lust Cultivation, you must live in constant fear because of that single name", Gui Jianyu spoke up from the side, shaking his lowered head and sighing as Lust Cultivators abhorred and feared the name at the same time.
"Besides, it is not like what he started did not become the norm, just because he started the hunt on Lust Cultivators and stopped at no threat or authority to do so, Dual Cultivators who worship him as if he is their true god did so as well, and later so did the rest of the society!", Gui Xiaolan added with genuine hatred in her voice.
"Haa~... I know, I know. I promise you, one day I will slay that Slaughter God for you, my love. And then you will not have to fear anymore", Linghun Mo sighed with lament, pained to see her in this mood, and proclaimed with an affectionate gaze as her face turned to a smile, tracing the side of his face with her fingers.
"Ah~! Lord Mo~! You are incredible" Her happy voice reaching his ears made him drunk as he leaned over again.
"Haa~", Gui Jianyu sighed, inwardly rolling his eyes at the words of this man, lost, body and soul altogether in the embrace of his daughter, turning his gaze to the side, the scenery of the prairies visible only from the top of the pagoda coming into his view, as the sun was already hovering on the horizon in the west, the crimson glow of the dusk looking somehow particularly sinister and eerie on this day.
Suddenly, he noticed something, as if a bleak or reflection of sunlight appeared in the clear air for a moment and disappearing. He squinted, and not noticing anything, a ripple of his spiritual sense spread as the two sitting before him turned to him with widened eyes.
"What is it?", Linghun Mo asked with raised eyebrow.
"Nothing, I just thought-...", Gui Jianyu shook his head not sensing anything out of order, until...
*Grrrrr!!!*
A tremor started shaking the entire mountain range, and pillars of light were rising into the air around it, a giant glowing pattern appearing in the skies above.
"...?!"
"What the...?"
"What is happening?"
The three people, as well as all members of the Blood Demon Cult were looking around them, trying to figure out what exactly was going on.
"...! This is!!!", Gui Xiaolan then widened her eyes as a feeling spread across the territory.
"Aura Suppression Field! No doubt about it!", Linghun Mo spoke with wide eyes, looking up.
"But who?", Gui Jianyu asked with bewilderment as walls of light started rising between the pillars, enclosing the whole territory in the cylindrical shape of the Formation.
