Heavenly Dao Child

"This way please.", Chianyu guided the group towards an open vast field with nothing in sight for miles on end except a good few scars marring the surface.

As he landed on top of the ground he kneeled and touched the ground, and it soon split apart as the entire group of cultivators went inside, the opening closed itself.

Everyone inside the cavern looked up as it opened and saw the scouting party returning along with other unknown cultivators, with some of the new cultivators looking injured.

Zywia frowned upon seeing the new arrivals as she whispered to True-Spear, "So these are Deva realm cultivators they looked worn out and in bad shape."

True-Spear nodded in agreement as he spoke, "Some of them look like dead, and I hope brother Ryuu knows what is doing by inviting them here."

Zywia raised one of her delicate eyebrows as she spoke in confusion, "What do you mean?"

True-Spear sighed as he ran his hand through his hair as he spoke with a tired sigh, "Just look at them, some of them are looking as if they are already dead, and in such a condition they might prove to be more of a burden, though if I were to wager this is the only help we will get from Deva realm."

Zywia's eyes widen slightly as she spoke with a worried tone, "By only help you mean that the other members of their realm have given up."

True-Spear has nodded as he gripped his spear hard as he spoke, "That is the only explanation that comes to my mind, otherwise if it was only an envoy they would not have sent around fifty cultivators when their strength has been reduced to mere two hundred."

Elmer let out a small whistle as he spoke, "Impressive it never cross my mind to create hideout in such a manner."

Chianyu gave a small smile as he spoke, "You are welcome brother Elmer."

As the group descended inside the artificially created cavern Ryuu took charge, "Please bring the wounded this way so that they may heal."

The more he saw the more he became impressed, the place if nothing else was homely and inviting, and it felt nice.

"My friends you have put up a very nice and cosy base it feels soothing here."

Ryuu gave him a small smile as he spoke, "Thank you for your kind words brother Elmer, is it possible to have our talk now or do you wish to rest."

Elmer frowned a little before he spoke with a sigh, "I prefer to finish our talks before resting."

Ryuu's smile widen as he spoke, "Excellent, well then please let me gather others as well and then we can proceed with our talks as the cultivators of my realm would love to make your acquaintance."

Elmer gave a small nod and soon the other cultivators had arrived as they took their seat with the Deva realm cultivators who were not injured took the middle area.

As everyone settled down one of the cultivators cleared his throat drawing attention before he spoke, "Greetings guest from another realm my name is True-Spear, and if I may not be rude can you please elaborate what and how did you lose to them."

At his question, the Deva realm cultivators gained a broken look on their face as True-Spear hurriedly spoke, "I know it might be very painful to recall the events so if you do not wish to say anything then it is fine for us."

Elmer began with a hollow chuckle, "It is painful that is true, but I believe it would be prudent if I come clear to all of you."

With that he took a deep and stayed silent for a moment, a silence that most found to be highly irritating as more and more questions were birthing in their mind wanting them to start firing at the Deva realm cultivators but with great difficulty, they managed to hold their tongue.

After what seemed to be an eternity Elmer began to speak, "My elder brother Eilauver was elected as the leader of our expedition into Eden, and under popular demand, it was decided that we would form a truce with the Preta Realm cultivators, as we wanted to avoid further battles and unwanted carnage."

Upon hearing his words Ryuu wanted to scoff at that, 'What kind of idiots are they? You can only negotiate a truce when you know you have an upper hand in case something goes south.'

"I along with few others protested vehemently at that but we were a minority as such we lost the argument, we managed to make contact with them and they decided to meet with us."

"I still remember the day, it was raining as if the Heaven's itself was crying for our demise, at first they were cordial and we thought that a truce would be formed but then they insulted us and fun of us and threw our proposal of peace at our face, and then the fight broke out."

"We were holding them good, when all of a sudden it happened.", tears appeared not only in his eyes but also rest of their group as he continued to speak with a hollow look in his eyes, "Our comrades turned against us all of a sudden, I thought we knew them, I knew them, I was friends with one of them for near about a century and he turned against us like that, and it was disastrous all of a sudden we were fighting on two fronts with one of them our friend and brother in arms a moment ago turned traitor we were unsure who to trust anymore."

He choked a sob as he spoke, "My brother, my elder brother was murdered by his fiancée who stabbed him from the back, I killed that bi**h., who knows how long they have infiltrated us, who knows how long they have been planning this."

His words send a chill down Ryuu's spine, 'This is worse than I thought, how long has their sleeper agents have infiltrated the Deva realm, but most importantly how long have their agents infiltrated our realm.'

"Ryuu, Ryuu!", a scream startled him as he was jolted awake and found himself staring at Frost Flames face which was filled with worry, "Are you alright Ryuu? We have been calling you for some time now."

Ryuu gave her a sheepish smile as he spoke, "I am alright I was just thinking about something."

Frost Flames looked at him with a frown for a moment before she turned her head towards Elmer who spoke with a frown of his own, "Daoist Brother Ryuu, you said you are an officer in the Immortal Phoenix Army?"

Ryuu nodded in conformation as suddenly one of the cultivators from his side spoke loudly, "What is this Immortal Phoenix Army?"

Hearing this question Ryuu suddenly wanted to just die of embarrassment as one of the Deva realm cultivators sneered back at the person who asked the question as he spoke, "Are you not a Manushya Realm resident, then why do you not know the name of the army of your realm."

At his words many of the cultivators blushed as Ryuu groaned and seeing the suspicion in the eyes of Deva realm cultivator he simply placed his left hand over the bicep of his right hand as a holographic tattoo appeared in front of them, that seemed to have been lit by fire, seeing the tattoo Elmer relaxed a bit.

As the tattoo disappeared Elmer spoke with a sigh, "For the last few years there have been numerous incident where Preta Realm cultivators have tried invaded into our realm and did the similar incident take place in your realm as well."

But before Ryuu could speak one of his fellow cultivators spoke with confusion in his voice, "How do they attack our realm do they simply pop up and start invading us?"

Zywia shook her head as she spoke, "Nothing like that there are places which are known as nexus, the nexus connects our realms and through the nexus they can reach our realm as such they are kept close watch by cultivators to prevent unauthorized entry."

Seeing everyone listening to her with rapt attention Ryuu did not bother to correct her as the army has decided not to let others know that Preta Realm or has his teacher refer to as Preta Lok has found means to create temporary nexus to invade our territory.

Ryuu gave a small appreciative nod towards her as he spoke, "As Zywia said there are times that they would try to invade and I have faced them in battle, and beyond that, I am sorry I cannot say anything, as it is a military secret."

Upon hearing that many nodded in acceptance though Ryuu could spot the disappointed look on their face, 'If only they knew.'

Meanwhile, in another part of Level, a goblet full of wine lay on the ground as a tall man of easily over fifteen feet towered over Ithrura as he thundered, "WHAT!? Are you telling me that bastard is here?"

Ithrura growled at him as she spoke, "I am not dead Zikris so stop shouting at me."

"Bah, I care not but are you sure."

Ithrura sighed at that as she spoke, "Yes I am sure that 'Rain Sword' is here.", she then tilted her head as she spoke in a curious tone, "Why are asking me the same question over again and again.", before she let out a small gasp of shock as she spoke, "Do not tell me that Devil Emperor Zikris is afraid."

Ithrura had to jump from her position as she dodged a powerful swing of Zikris's arm as she spoke with a snarl, "Watch out where you are swinging your arm."

But Zikris did not pay any heed to her as he shouted out, "Gather all of our men we are going to tear this place to find him and then I will kill him."

Ithrura nodded as she spoke with a mocking voice, "Yes we will use all of our men to exhaust him and when he is near death, the invincible and powerful Zikris is going to kill him and claim him as the strongest and invincible once again."

"How dare you speak to me like that?"

Ithrura simply send a mocking look to him as he spoke, "I will speak to you in any way I would want to, at least I am not a coward who is hiding and using others to do his dirty deeds and then trying to steal their glory, disgusting and you call yourself the strongest amongst us."

Zikris growled as his body became black as charcoal as his eyes became white as blackish flames began to surround him making Ithrura step back as he bellowed to her, "Shut up you wench I will show you why I am the strongest I do not need any weaklings.", with that he took the sky while created shockwave strong enough to make Ithrura fall on her back.

As she stood up with a glare a burst of familiar laughter came to her ears as she turned she was greeted by Jerthrar who was laughing at her plight as her glare intensified.

"Sorry I cannot help it, seeing you stumble back because of his forceful jump."

Jerthrar somehow managed to reign in his laughter as he spoke, "I thought you said he would take a few men with him."

Ithrura simply glared as she replied to him, "I did say so but that bloke's head got so angry that he left just like that."

Jerthrar simply shook his head in exasperation before he spoke in a pleading tone, "At least you told him where to go."

Ithrura gasped at that as she spoke with a voice filled with guilt, "Oh I was thinking that I was forgetting something, I forgot to tell him where to go but come to think of it the agent did not give us location either."

Jerthrar shrugged as he spoke, "meh not your fault then.", before they both broke into laughter.

"So did you remember to place the array on him?"

Ithrura snorted at that as she spoke, "Who do you think I am Corpse General of course I remember, and I hope he finds that 'Rain Sword', I want to see why he has such a high bounty on his head."
