Chapter 90
The Love Demon’s Lair
Looking to the others with hope in his eyes, Xie Jie said, “lets go get our man.”
All tense and ready to fight, they moved slowly into the huge gaping maw of the jagged cave.
The inside of the cave looked like any other, there were stalactites and stalagmites forever reaching towards each other, the air held the smell of damp and moss, and the weather worn rocks stuck out into the cave making it appear blocked. If they hadn’t known this was the right place, they would have discounted it and gone on to the other options. In his mind, Luo Bai thanked disciple Wu for escaping and showing them the way.
Searching at the back of the cave they found a huge bolder with strange dull runes on it. Gong Qiu Yu read the runes and his brows drew down, “this is a necromancy temple, we should not be here.”
Luo Bai put a hand on his scholar’s shoulder, “the necromancers have been possessed too, we’ll release them first, then we can deal with them wanting to kill us for trespassing.”
Making a series of complicated hand motions, Gong Qiu Yu touched a dozen different runes in quick succession.
The boulder silently moved out of the way, exposing a large dark tunnel. Cautiously they moved in with Luo Bai out front, but Gong Qiu Yu stopped them all by saying, “hold on, I want to clear our escape route.”
On the inside there was a simple lever that activated the spell to move the boulder. The scholar took out a brush and wrote over one of the runes in a strange ink, his quick precise words glowed for a moment and the boulder stayed open.
Gong Qiu Yu nodded and they moved further into the tunnel of dark rock.
The dirt floor sloped quickly downwards and narrowed so they could only move one abreast. The rough tunnel walls unevenly widened out then shrank back in, as it curved back and forth in its descent into the depths of the earth.
Off in the distance, Luo Bai could hear the sounds of shouting, picking up their pace they moved quicker along the dark tunnel.
The Leaders and Hao Kong’s enhanced senses meant they could see fine in the dark, distracted by their desire to find Chu Ling, they forgot to check with Xie Jie, who as an incubus could naturally see every detail around him, he was amazed for the umpteenth time by his wonderful men.
Suddenly a young lady in the fancy robes of the golden winged sect raced out from round a bend in the dark, tears streamed down her cheeks as she fled. In a second Luo Bai used the butt of his sword to incapacitate the two necromancers chasing her.
Gently catching the young lady, Gong Qiu Yu said softly, “keep going straight, help is on its way,” blushing he said, “try to stay aroused, it’s the only way to avoid repossession.”
The lady’s dark brown eyes went wide and her blush matched the beautiful scholar’s, Xie Jie could feel her attraction to his man, she would be safe with Gong Qiu Yu as her inspiration.
The lady nodded, “yes Leader Gong.” Taking a calming breath she said, “please help me take them with me.” She pointed to the unconscious necromancers.
The lady’s panting breath caught at the sight of Gong Qiu Yu’s approving smile. Quickly Hao Kong and Xie Jie lifted the necromancers up and put them on her shoulders. With a determined nod she moved out of the tunnel.

When the others began to move again, Luo Bai was already ahead of them down the winding tunnel. At various intervals tunnels branched off from the main one, but Luo Bai always smoothly followed the sounds of people yelling.
They could hear the muffled cries of the possessed, then there was a clear yell of, “gag him!”
The urgent yell of Chu Ling cut through the other noises, “run! All of y...” but his voice was cut off with a cry.
Rounding a curve in the tunnel, Luo Bai heard a loud thud, followed by Chu Ling’s first muffled scream of pain. Without thinking he raced towards the sound, as he flew down the tunnel the other men struggled to keep up with him.
Just as the others lost sight of the tall martial artist, Luo Bai came to the end of the tunnel, which ballooned out into a massive natural cavern, that was 50 metres wide and 5 metres high. Long jagged stalactites hung menacingly down to the flat rock floor. The whole place was lit with braziers around the rough hewn walls, making shadows jump around in the dim light. The same strange dull runes from the boulder were carved into every surface.
Across the great expanse of the cavern, on the far wall suspended off the ground was Chu Ling. His arms were tied together by golden ethereal rope, that hung from a large dull metal ring attached to the uneven rock. The rope ran down his broad back and tied his ankles to another dull metal ring embedded in the floor, stretching him out to his full length, every muscle of his bound body strained against his restraints as he fought to get free.
Just as the tall Leader entered the cavern, Chu Ling screamed again around the leather gag in his mouth, when a disciple in a green belt brandishing a long wooden staff hit him with all his might.
Luo Bai saw red and charged for his man, the others felt his anger just before they felt the possession.
Luo Bai stopped dead in the middle of the cavern, then slowly turned to his right, where there was a small dais with an ornately carved throne. The whole area was surrounded by people, some were wearing robes of Snow Mist Peak, others looked like farmers, a few were from other sects, the rest all wore the same black robes with purple trim of the necromancers.
Sat on the throne was a ghostly pale thin man wrapped in dark robes, he had sharp uneven features, his thinning sandy blond hair reached down to mix with his wispy blond beard and moustache, he smiled maliciously at the tall martial artist he had just caught.
Before the others could react, the love demon said coldly, “kill Chu Ling.”
Luo Bai’s face contorted with rage as he struggled with every fibre of his being against the possession, but it was to no avail, his body flew at his dear lover while drawing his sword.
Dun Guanlian shot out to stop him, but Luo Bai had too long a head start.
The Leader’s long deadly sword flashed as it slashed again and again at Chu Ling, cut after cut raining down on his bound man, Luo Bai’s body strained with every strike.
Deathly silence enveloped the cavern as Luo Bai dropped his sword with a loud clattering clang, the others daren’t move as Luo Bai slumped at Chu Ling’s feet.
Hundreds of lines of red bloomed on Chu Ling’s robes crisscrossing his body with his life’s blood.
