Heavenly Dao Child

"There is something that I wish to convey to you all."

"What is it, brother Ryuu?"

"While I was interrogating Kemec there were a few things that I learned from him and I believe I should tell you all before it slips off my mind."

Ryuu paused for a moment as he watched his fellow cultivators hanging on to his words as he continued, "According to Kemec, there are some survivors that they failed to catch."

Chianyu frowned as he spoke, "Are we going to team up with them and how many are they?"

Ryuu frowned as he spoke, "I believe if we come across them we can speak with them and try to find some common ground and maybe work together and as for how many of them are left, well they are around two hundred strong."

"So there are not many who could help us."

At Amnon's words, Ryuu shrugged as he spoke, "There is nothing we can do about it, every little help is welcome, though the next part of the news is horrible."

True-Spear looked at him with his brows raised as he spoke with a smile on his face, "What can be worst than anything we are suffering now?"

"How about learning the cause of the Deva realm's defeat?"

With his words every cultivator sat up straight looking directly at him, 'Heaven give me strength why do they always have to look at me directly like that, it makes me nervous.'

He somehow managed to control his inner turmoil as he began to speak, "Deva realm got torn from inside."

At his words, the hearts of every cultivator who were listening sped up as many looked aghast as Frozen Ocean spoke in a fearful tone, "You mean their people backstabbed them?"

"No they were spies who had infiltrated their group, they were the reason their group fell apart."

Zywia looked at Ryuu with a worried look on her face as she spoke, "Ryuu do you think there are spies amongst us."

Her words looked as if someone has poked the beehive as everyone started shouted, arguing and cursing, making Ryuu's brow to twitch for a moment as a scowl slowly formed on his face until he could no longer contain himself anymore as he roared out in anger, "WILL YOU LOT SHUT UP AND SIT DOWN!!!!!"

It was as if a dam broke and the water that it held back came slamming down on them hard, forcing them to bend to his will as they all sat down ram rod paying complete attention while they gained a bewildered expression on their face, 'Why did we obey him?'

"You all should control yourself the way you are acting was like asking the Preta Realm cultivators to locate us."

"How did you make us obey you?"

Ryuu looked at True-Spear with a confused look on his face before it dawned to him, 'Drat I exposed part of my Divine body, now time to use my superior acting skills and save myself.'

"What do you mean by obeying?"

True-Spear narrowed his eyes as he spoke with a slight tinge of hostility, "You order us to shut up and sit down, and we obeyed you without question, how?"

Ryuu tilted his head as he spoke with confusion, "What are you talking about, 'order', 'obey', I did no such thing all I did was shout at you all and activated an array that made the gravity increase a bit nothing more and nothing less, so please stop speculating something that did not happen."

"Impossible we all felt no were compelled to listen to your order."

A shout came from one of the cultivators as Ryuu rubbed the bridge of his nose in exasperation as he spoke, "Can you lot not shout a bit louder, those poor Preta realm cultivators are still having difficulty in finding us."

That stopped the cacophony from rising as Ryuu glared at them as he spoke, "I do not know why you all have such a high opinion of me, and I thank you for believing on the fact that I might have powers to make others obey but unfortunately I do not have so and for that, I applaud your imagination and feel disappointed at myself for not having such wonderful powers, now anything else other than my imaginary powers."

An uncomfortable silence descended amongst them as Zywia spoke with a small cough, "Well since we have finished shouting and accusing, Ryuu can you proceed with what you were telling about the spies and whatnot."

"Yes brother Ryuu you were saying about spies and whatnot, so do you think there is a chance that spies might have been present amongst us?"

Ryuu flashed both Zywia and Frost Flames a small as he spoke, "I would not be surprised if we had spies amongst us when we had entered Eden, but since then we have lost so many and now we have formed a tight-knit group of friends who are working together like a well-oiled machine as such I believe if that the chances of one of us turning into spies is slim to none."

Although he said there was no chance, inwardly it was a different matter, 'Like hell there no chances of spies, the only one I can think of as not a spy is Zywia and as for others no not a chance, maybe Frozen Ocean, well Frost Flames as well but others I do not know, True-Spear, Su-Min, Amnon and Daniella have small chances but….argh, it is so confusing.'

As others nodded at that though Ryuu could spot uneasiness as well as distrust in them, 'At least a few of them are vigilant, even if I say that there is no spy amongst us others should not let their guard down, these cultivators had infiltrated them years ago, I will have to create a list and keep an eye on them for possible signs of betrayal.'

Ryuu then turned towards his fellow cultivators as he spoke, "So what should we do now?"

Chianyu spoke with a frown, "Well first of all we should stick together and whittle down our opponents using guerrilla tactics just as you have suggested Daoist Brother Ryuu."

Devaraj nodded at that as he added to Chainyu's words, "Also if possible we should try and establish a relation with Deva realm."

Ryuu nodded at that as he spoke, "Even if they are around two hundred, even a little boost is better than nothing not to mention they have experienced fighting against the Preta realm."

"Are sure about them? They could be hiding and would want to do nothing to do with Eden anymore and waiting for Eden to let them leave."

Ryuu frowned at the question thrown towards him by one of the fellow cultivators but before he could speak Frost Flames spoke on his behalf, "Revenge, Justice and Honor."

Frost Flames blushed as everyone's eyes fell on her and as her eyes fell on Ryuu, he gave a small nod of encouragement a beautiful smile blossomed on her face as she continued, "Revenge for the betrayal, Justice for those who those who fell and most importantly trying to regain their Honor by freeing their captured brethren, or that is what I would have tried to do if I were in their shoes."

Ryuu send a look full of admiration towards her as he spoke, "So true I might not be able to say as eloquently as sister Frost Flames we might have not known each other for a long time, we might not have the same views but as long as we are a team, I would have moved Heaven itself to rescue you."

Many gained a small smile on their face at his proclamation as Frozen Ocean gave him a small bow to Ryuu who simply send her a small smile in return.

Jerthrar frowned as he looked towards the horizon before he shook his head with a sigh only to turn as a voice came to his ears, "Is there any problem 'Corpse General'?"

Jerthrar glanced at the speaker as he spoke, "Well Kemec is dead."

The speaker simply shrugged as she spoke, "So what he was useless anyway."

"Must you be so rude about the deceased, Serpent Queen?"

Serpent Queen snorted at his words as she spoke, "Like you are one to talk about respecting the dead, using them for your battles."

Jerthrar looked affronted at that as he spoke, "Please if there is anyone who knows to honour the dead it is me, as such they are still moving."

"So have you managed to make contact with our plant within their group?"

Serpent Queen shook her head as she spoke, "No though it would be difficult since their low number would be difficult for whoever it is to establish contact without someone noticing."

"So true, whoever it feels for him or her for having to spend time amongst that filthy trash."

Meanwhile, in another part of the sixth level a small group of cultivators stepped into the level, they cautiously stepped inside as they looked around trying to spot anything dangerous anything that would cause their defeat, death and in the worst-case imprisonment, and finding none present that would cause any form of harm they let out a sigh of relief.

Elmer looked around as he nodded to his fellow cultivator who then pointed towards a stone stele as he spoke, "We all laughed at them but now they are larger than us, do you think that they will enter the sixth level."

Elmer shrugged as he spoke, "No idea, but if they do I hope we can form some sort of alliance."

The other person simply chuckled at that as he spoke, "As they would, why would they when we have nothing but death and danger to offer them to."

"Whatever we can find in Eden we would offer them that, and I hope they would help us."

The person's chuckling did not cease as he spoke, "Elmer you are naïve, our people abandoned us, look at us we are over two hundred strong but, how many of them are with us only fifty, only fifty of them are with us, did you forget about Arel?"

Elmer growled at him as he spoke, "Of course how could I forget that bastard, his wife has been kidnapped and he is busy crying and blaming everyone but, he is such a coward that he decided to stay back in the fifth level and continue his pity party."

"It cannot be helped but we have to find a way to secure an alliance with them, no matter how much we try our paltry numbers would not make any difference."

Elmer balled his fist as he spoke, "I know, but for now, let us make a camp and keep our heads low and search for the cultivators for Manushya realm."

"And what if they refused to ally with us, then?"

Elmer looked at his fellow cultivator directly into his eyes as he spoke, "Then nothing, we will proceed with our plan, we neither falter nor can we step back, you all know what is at stake."

The grim look on their faces was the answer to Elmer's question as they slowly left the archway that brought them here.
