Chapter 1256: What Better Ti Than Now To Bank On The Na Of Her Father?
“I also don’t accept.” Gu ngng was incensed. “I just want you to lead up the mountains. I am interested in sothing in the mountains, but have no interest in you at all.”
“I told you. The peak is the sacred grounds of the vultures. We can only bring outsiders up when bringing new partners to pray for blessings. Since you and I have no intention of becoming partners, I cannot bring you up.”
“Eh, why are you being so particular?” Gu ngng asked. “Who sealed off that sacred ground? The previous ssenger of the Beast Deity?”
Who sealed it off...
Gregory was stumped by her question. Since the day he was born, he had been guarding the Motou mountain range, facing the harsh and cruel weather conditions day in day out. The sacred grounds had always been the sacred grounds. No one told him why it was sacred or when it had beco sacred.
But this was not important.
The reality of it was that the vulture race had been guarding the grounds for generations. Rules were rules, and they must be adhered to.
He was the leader of the vulture race, so all the more he could not willfully break the rules.
“If it was a rule set down by the previous ssenger of the Beast Deity, then I should be able to abolish it, right? After all, we are both the sa rank. She is a ssenger and so am I. If my rank is still not high enough, how about I go seek the Beast Deity himself? After all, you vultures are the most loyal guardians of the Beast Deity. If it was the Deity himself who passed down the order? Will it override your stupid rule?” Gu ngng intoned that as a second-generation immortal, what better ti than now to bank on the na of her father?
Gregory remained resolute. He stood firm. “This is the rule of my vulture race. Even the ssenger herself cannot force us. If the Beast Deity wants to abolish our rule, the entire race has no choice but to perish. We cannot have our loyalties divided. Only in death will our race not break the rule and not go against the Beast Deity.”
One word kept flashing across Gu ngng’s mind: Pedantic.
But Gregory’s tone was not threatening. He was just stating the facts. As such, Gu ngng realized that if she tried to force his hand using her father’s na, Gregory would really rather annihilate his whole race than yield.
Damn, if the vulture race went extinct because of this—she could just forget about ever attaining the Love of the Sky.
Gu ngng asked again, “How about... can you get so other vulture to co discuss this with ?”
“Only the leader of the vulture race, after receiving the orders of that great lord, can descend the mountain.” Gregory glanced at the mark over Elvis’ heart again. He then said, “Now that the great lord is no longer around, no one from the vulture race will ever descend the mountain again after I return.”
Damn, just who is this great lord?!
“What if this great lord asked you to bring up? Will you do so?” Gu ngng probed.
Gregory snorted. “You don’t even know who that great lord is, but want to use such ridiculous words to fool ?”
Gu ngng smiled. “You have been secluded high up in the mountains for years, so you probably don’t know that apart from being a ssenger of the Beast Deity, I am also the Beast Deity’s daughter. So I can also go ask my father about this so-called great lord. I may not know what I have forgotten, but my father will. How about... you stay here for a while? I need to go talk to my father and find out—apart from giving the Heart of the Desert, did this great lord tell anything else?”
