Heavenly Dao Child

Suran yawned as he looked at the queue in front of him, Lady Unanresh had ordered them to deploy and they had done so, he was the lowest of the low only a 7th rank Mystic Immortal Emperor, as such he who was nowhere near the power totem pole had only one thing in his mind, that was to survive by hook or crook, he was a grunt to the major power holders who were present here and he knew that he might one day lose his life because a certain big shot woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

'Why did I decide to venture into this wretched place when I am such a low-level cultivator compared to them, me and my rotten luck, I doubt there would be anyone as foolish as I am.'

That was his last thought before he felt a sharp pain, and his vision went blank, meanwhile, a certain someone whose name was Zywia sneezed out loud drawing a glare from everyone present.

Unanresh cursed at her luck, at first there was a barrier that prevented them stepping into the seventh level and when they did manage to step into the seventh they were again stopped by another barrier which they had to break to step forward and she knew that she had lost valuable time while doing so, and time was what her prey needed now the entire reason she had ordered the camp to break was meaningless.

'I will not accept defeat so easily, I am going to find them and kill them.', and with that thought in mind, she pushed forward.

Ryuu looked at the scene in front of him with a smile, as he gave himself a mental pat on his back for successfully pulling the wool over their enemies' eyes."

With his victim's body was safely stored inside his space ring as he sank into the shadows before he moved to the next one.

A few minutes before the arrival of Unanresh, Ryuu led his companions directly towards the portal but instead of following Elmer's plans, he turned and quickly spoke towards his fellow companions.

"Deploy the illusion array make it look like we are crossing over to the other side."

The cultivators who were given the responsibility of operating the array simply gave him a nod as they began working on their magic, while he haphazardly threw a couple of talisman around while a few of them went passed the portal.

Elmer looked at him furiously as he spoke, "What are you doing?"

Ryuu simply sent him an unimpressed look as he spoke, "Saving the life of my companions, if you wish to carry on with your plan please fill free to do so, my companions and I would prefer a different path."

Elmer looked stunned at that before he noticed that the Deva realm cultivators were following Ryuu's instructions without complaining as such he held his tongue and decided to follow Ryuu's instructions as well.

"We are done with that Brother Ryuu, to onlookers, it would look like we all ran to the seventh floor, now what."

Ryuu looked at his fellow cultivators as he spoke, "Well now follow me closely but remember not to drop the array no matter what."

He then lead the groups towards the direction of their approach before stopping a good few distances away before he let loose dozens of talismans which was swirling around them before he slammed his hand on the ground, the talisman glowed as a blue-coloured barrier surrounded them, upon seeing it Ryuu let out a satisfied smirk as he spoke, "Well with this barrier in place, they will never be able to detect us and now we move to the next phase."

With that, he went towards the side as he snapped his finger and partition wall appeared obscuring their view, as a few seconds later Ryuu stepped out dressed as a normal Preta realm cultivator's armour not to mention he had a matching mask to go along with it.

"I hope that some of you are already carrying the armours that we have received by killing them, so what are you all waiting to wear them."

At his words a few of them enthusiastically went to change wear the armour of the Preta realm cultivators, it was as if Heaven was looking after them, each cultivator whether they be from Deva or Manushya wore armour that they prefer, but the Preta realm was different they had generalized armour design, as a result, most of them except a few wore similar armour and some of them even had a mask covering their face, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise for them, as it would help them to blend in properly.

Ryuu meanwhile looked at a few who had a look of embarrassment on their faces, chief among them was Zywia.

'I should have known, she had thrown away the armour, also there was no reason for her to keep them until and unless they prefer to take some kind of trophy.'

"You do not have any armour?"

Zywia simply gave a small nod as Ryuu spoke with a sigh, "Well since none of us had any idea that we might need their armour I can understand so how many of you require them."

"Brother Ryuu, I think there are seventy of us who require the armour, as for the Deva realm I do not know."

As Zywia spoke one of the Deva realm cultivators raised his hand to draw attention towards him as he spoke, "Well I do not need any armour I have a couple that I can use.", he looked over others from his group before he spoke with a tired sigh, "Well from the looks of it you need to bring at least Fifty-six sets."

Ryuu inwardly grimaced at that as he left the safety of the barrier, then he proceeded towards the nearest unit of Preta realm cultivators while suppressing his KI to a much lower level and acting as discreet as possible, he found his first prey a cultivator who was little away from the group and without even a hint of vigilance.

As soon as the person died, a small smile appeared on his lips, 'Well one down over a hundred to go.'

A few minutes later Ryuu was in a quandary, 'Damn it, it is taking too long and if I do not make a move fast they would crossover to the other side I have managed to take out the stragglers but the rest are in groups as such I have to be careful and fast, not to mention searching for perfect target and running from one end to another is proving to be a chore, I will get a couple of more armours and the rest can use illusion to hide, but then many would think I was unable to plan properly, damn it screw it all.'

Upon finishing the rant in his head Ryuu simply stepped towards the nearest shadow as he stepped into it, he was quickly swallowed as he disappeared through it.

Frost Flames had an anxious look on her face, it had been some time since Ryuu had left and he has yet to return, they saw him take down a couple of cultivators before he seemed to have disappeared in the crowd.

"Zywia there is something that I wish to the task of you.", those simple words spoken out of Su-Min's mouth turned to be the exact distraction that she needed.

As she gave her undivided attention to the duo but a scowl formed soon after as she saw the similar form of attention given by others, 'Can they not stop eavesdropping on others.'

Unlike her, Zywia did not pay any heed to her surrounding as she spoke with a smile, "What is it Su-Min?"

"Well during the skirmish I happen to see Ryuu, sending his swords through his shadow and they reappeared skewering the Preta realm cultivator, do you know what it was I have never seen such a thing."

Zywia gave a small nod as she began to speak, "Ah, I know it is a special technique one of his Older Sisters had developed and is used by 'Woj…'"

"Zywia, hold your tongue least I silence you for blabbing out my family's secret out in the open."

A voice thundered as it came with an insane burst of Killing intent, as Zywia went chalk white then she looked a bit sick, as True-Spear appeared in front of Zywia standing guard as he spoke, "Ryuu if you touch a hair of her head I will tear you apart."

The tension was so thick that it could be cut with a knife, Zywia looked distressed at that as Ryuu simply snorted at his threat as he spoke with a mocking edge in his voice, "How cute."

"Brother Ryuu I apologize and thank you for stopping me from creating such an error of colossal stature, I can convey how ashamed I am for acting as such.", an embarrassed Zywia bowed deeply as she apologized to Ryuu.

True-Spear looked distressed at that as he went by her side to support her while sending a glare towards Ryuu who sighed as he began to speak in a grave tone, "Sister Zywia you are older than me as such you should know about blurting out extremely important and sensitive information about your allies so easily."

Zywia nodded with a sombre look on her face as Ryuu produced the freshly killed corpses of the Preta realm cultivator as he spoke, "Well what are you waiting for change into those armours quickly we do not have much time left."

As the rest changed their armours, Ryuu's eyes narrowed as he looked at Zywia briefly, 'What is wrong with her, no matter how careless and unreliable she may look like there is no way she would blurt out such information like that, I smell something foul, I have to speak with her as soon as possible.'
