Chapter 1117: Grand Lord Hong Lian Arrives (4)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
A profound light flashed across Master Mu"s eyes as he chuckled silently.
If Gu Ruoyun could survive under Grand Lord Hong Lian"s pressure, it would prove that this woman has the right to make the Mu family serve her! If she were to die in Grand Lord Hong Lian"s clutches, the Northern Block Territory would simply revert to their previous configuration.
Nevertheless, out of all the possibilities Master Mu had considered, he never thought that Grand Lord Hong Lian would turn out to be Gu Ruoyun"s father!
In the Medicine Manor, the atmosphere of the entire place changed as soon as that flash of red robes had entered the manor.
The change was not very obvious but Grand Lord Hong Lian was a Martial Saint after all. Just how accurate were his senses? He had immediately seen through the patterns in the atmosphere.
"An illusion?"
Grand Lord Hong Lian furrowed his grim brows. He instantly stretched his mental state. A constant surge of energy was then released into the surroundings of his red robes, engulfing the s.p.a.ce around him.
Boom!
Boom, boom, boom!
The powerful energy slammed into the atmosphere but could not s.h.i.+ft the illusion.
"This must be an illusion created from a formation. However, what makes me curious is that who could possibly have the ability to create such a powerful illusion? Even the full extent of my power cannot break it!"
Grand Lord Hong Lian laughed bitterly at the thought of this. He never thought that it would be so difficult just to see his daughter. Which father in this world would have to endure such agony?
At this moment, Gu Ruoyun, who was seated in the great hall, sensed a strange movement. Her eyebrows knitted together as she said, "It seems that someone has entered the formation."
"That"s right." The Vermillion Bird nodded. "That person should be a Martial Saint so he had entered the formation upon his arrival in the Medicine Manor. Besides, that person"s scent is rather familiar."
"Their scent is familiar?"
Gu Ruoyun was stunned. The Vermillion Bird has not met a lot of people from the First City, she had mostly encountered those from Wind Valley alone! Could it be that the members from Wind Valley have arrived?
The Vermillion Bird furrowed her brows. After a long pause, she relaxed them. "That scent is very familiar with yours, Master."
Gu Ruoyun was stunned. A Martial Saint whose scent is similar to mine. Could it be...
Suddenly, a possibility appeared in her mind"s eye. Gu Ruoyun rose to her feet with a whoosh. Her initially delicate and pretty features were filled with excitement as she rushed out without any warning...
Grand Lord Hong Lian, who was deep inside the formation in the courtyard, was searching for a way to break out of the illusion. However, at that moment, the ripples in the atmosphere disappeared instantly and everything returned back to its initially peaceful and quiet state.
A face that he had longed for day and night then appeared before his eyes.
"Yun"er."
Grand Lord Hong Lian"s expression moved a little as he stared at the woman in green who was standing in the courtyard. His grim, black eyes softened and became very gentle in an instant. The cold lines at the corners of his lips gradually softened as well.
"Father is here to see you."
Gu Ruoyun took bigger steps and the crowd watched as she threw herself into Grand Lord Hong Lian"s arms, holding the man in red in a tight embrace. Her tensed heart slowly relaxed.
"Father, you"ve finally arrived."
Ever since she found out that Old Man Jiang had reported her perilous incident to her Master, she knew that her father would have immediately rushed over from the Red Lotus Territory. However, she never thought that he would arrive so quickly.
After all, this news had to be sent out from the Northern Block Territory. Considering the distance from the Red Lotus Territory to the Northern Block Territory, even someone traveling at the speed of a Martial Saint would need a month to traverse that distance.

"Yun"er, it"s really difficult to even see you," Grand Lord Hong Lian chuckled and teased as he remembered how he had been trapped in the formation.
Gu Ruoyun laughed awkwardly when she heard those words. "We had set that formation because my friend was trying to prevent the members of First City from causing trouble for me. Anyone who has reached the rank of a Martial Saint would become trapped in the formation."
Anyone at the rank of a Martial Saint would become trapped in the formation?
A wave of shock entered Grand Lord Hong Lian"s heart. How powerful was this person to have the ability to construct such a powerful formation?
A smile crept up upon his handsome face at the thought of this. "Yun"er, I have been quite worried that no one would be able to protect you while I was not by your side. Now I see that you have quite a few capable people on your side. I can rest a.s.sured now."
Gu Ruoyun shrugged her shoulders and smiled. In this life, to have received Zixie"s help was the honor of a lifetime.
"Yun"er, has anything happened to you while you were in the Northern Block Territory?" Grand Lord Hong Lian seemed to have recalled something and knitted his grim brows. "I have heard that the Northern Block Territory has always rejected the geniuses sent over by the Medicine Sect. You"ve come here in the Medicine Sect"s name as well. Has anyone caused you grief?"
As Red Lotus Territory was quite a distance from the Northern Block Territory, Grand Lord Hong Lian had not stopped to rest along the way so that he could see his precious daughter as soon as possible. Naturally, he would not be aware of the news surrounding Gu Ruoyun in the Northern Block Territory.
Gu Ruoyun was shaken as she stared at the concerned look on Grand Lord Hong Lian"s face. She then rubbed her nose.
It seems that Father hasn"t heard anything at all...
That was not such a bad outcome either. She was perfectly capable of settling the matters surrounding the Lan family on her own and did not need anyone"s help.
"Father, do you think that I"m the kind of person who would suffer in silence?" Gu Ruoyun lifted the corners of her lips and smiled. "Don"t worry, no one can abuse me in the Northern Block Territory."
Grand Lord Hong Lian smiled and stroked Gu Ruoyun"s head lovingly as his dark eyes flashed with a gentle light. "I know better than anyone of your powers. The only thing is, being your father, I will never allow anyone to bully or humiliate you! Anyone who dares to do so shall be given the taste of a true madman."
Just as Grand Lord Hong Lian had spoken, a sound came from his communication token.
Grand Lord Hong Lian furrowed his brows upon hearing that sound. Ultimately, he picked up the wooden token and his expression reverted to his initially icy exterior.
"Grand Lord, I"ve finally managed to contact you. I"ve been trying to call you through the communication token for a while now. Why didn"t you answer?"
The communication token was a type of summoning tool on the mainland and was much more convenient than sending a pigeon.
If one wishes to create a communication token, one must first seal both parties" mental energies in the communication token then call each other through their mental energies! The communication token was more than a medium of communication. In fact, the other voice would be transmitted directly into Grand Lord Hong Lian"s mind so no one else could hear it.
However, to make a successful call through the communication token, one must do it when the other party was completely at ease. Grand Lord Hong Lian, who had been rus.h.i.+ng towards his destination, had his mind filled with his precious daughter"s image. How could he have possibly heard the call from the communication token?
