Chapter 948 Suspected
Lord Xiong stood with his hands clasped behind his back, exhibiting an air of detachment, as if the affair had nothing to do with him. Hoping for him to step in and speak up was utterly unrealistic.
In this moment of dire crisis, Mo Yun stood up and said with a smile, "I didn’t expect Xue Wang to be this serious. Very well, we’ll do as he asks. However, this lad has only joined the Devil Cult not long ago. It’s a bit much to ask him to perform such cruelty. How about I do it? I can assure you’ll be satisfied. After all, I’ve been with the Devil Cult for a long time and have more blood on my hands." Having said this, Mo Yun walked up to the terrified child and struck down with a palm, killing the child on the spot.
Gu Fan said nothing nor did he try to stop her. He wasn’t indifferent; he was simply powerless. What’s more, even speaking a single word in defense of the child would put him in danger.
"How about that, Xue Wang? Are you satisfied with the way our Devil Cult handles matters?" Mo Yun had just mercilessly ended a child’s life, but she appeared to be without a ripple of emotion, not a trace of guilt, and she still managed to be cheerful and lively, seemingly not faking it at all.
Xue Wang laughed, "I can finally understand why the earlier members of the Xue Clan sought collaboration with you. Our Xue Clan and your Devil Cult are indeed well-suited." After speaking, Xue Wang glanced at Gu Fan, his suspicions seemingly unchanged.
It was then that Lord Xiong finally stepped forward and said, "Enough has been done for one night. Everyone, find a room and rest."
Mo Yun nodded, "All right, we’ll take that one."
Gu Fan remained silent and followed Mo Yun, but he couldn’t help turning back for a glance at the child, whose eyes still hadn’t closed in death, and he sighed involuntarily.
Xue Wang noticed this gesture from Gu Fan, and his unease grew. He walked over to Lord Xiong and said, "Lord Xiong, this lad is kind-hearted, not one of us. He might betray us one day, so for safety’s sake, we’d be better off killing him."
