Heavenly Dao Child

One of the persons present frowned as he spoke, "Where is Her Highness?"

"Our Royal Sisters are all very busy as such they are unavailable, so what do you all want."

"The Prisoner planet number 84516 had a riot which let to escape of some dangerous criminals."

Ryuu did not show any emotion upon hearing that but inwardly he frowned, 'From what the commander had told me these planets are giant prisons where dangerous cultivators are being kept imprisoned because they are too dangerous to be allowed to roam free, but at the same time killing them in any way or form will be merciful.'

Ryuu then tapped at the telepathic link as he spoke, 'Please tell me about this Prison Planet 84516.'

As soon as he spoke Ryuu felt as if a large amount of information was suddenly forced into his brain as the commander's voice came to his head, 'Please do not fight against it Your Highness, the pain would be a bit less.'

Compared to his previous experience where a large amount of information was shoved into his brain the pain was nothing and all he gave was a small twitch of his brow before he spoke with a drawl, "How did they escape? After all according to our knowledge the planet is impossible to escape from as the prisoners have their KI sealed to the point that they are normal mortals, whereas the guards have access to theirs, not to mention there are arrays which would immobilize them, so tell us how did they escape? And most importantly where is Warden."

The person in question spoke with a slight hint of anger in his voice not to mention the slight contempt, "Why else the array failed to hold them and as such, they escaped from the prison, and as for the warden he is busy."

Ryuu narrowed his eyes as the Commander leaked a bit of his killing intent making the speaker look uncomfortable as Ryuu spoke, "We applaud your audacity to show anger and direct it towards us but know your place.", as he spoke those words the Commander's killing intent spiked even more before it disappeared as Ryuu continued nonchalantly, "The array had been checked a few years ago, an array of that size and created by experts cannot fail so fast, clearly there is something else in play, and what are you all doing to recapture them? But most importantly who are you."

"I am the Vice-Warden Your, Highness, Warden is very busy at the moment he is trying to coordinate our forces and trying to find where the escapees went."

Ryuu drummed his fingers on the table in front of him as he spoke, "You are telling me that the location arrays that were tattooed on the prisoner are not working as well, what happed Vice-Warden such massive array failure is not possible, they were not made by some nameless array master but the best of the best that is available in our realm so how did …"

Whatever Ryuu was about to say was stopped as he found himself coming face to face with a sword which was backed by a horrendous amount of KI, when all of a sudden dragged by the Commander into a world of shadows before he found himself standing in front of a familiar place, a place where the controlling arrays of Ayindril laid.

A disoriented Ryuu looked around before he spoke in a confused tone, "Wha… What happened?

"Your Highness there is an assassination attempt on you and…"

The commander was interrupted as a familiar face approached them, making Ryuu frown as he spoke, "Major Chen what are you doing here? This is a restricted area."

The Major simply smiled when all of a sudden a figure appeared behind the Commander of Wojownik Cienia stabbing the Commander, who simply send a pulse of KI that was strong enough to fling Ryuu towards a large door, he hit it hard enough to make a small trickle of blood flow from his head.

Ryuu did not waste his time as he quickly used his blood while he sent a pulse of his KI along with a bit of his soul force while he touched the door, which begun to open.

As soon as the door was opened wide enough for him he rolled inside while the door itself began to close as soon as jumped inside through it, but the door was not fast enough as he heard a female cultivator's hand grabbed his leg as she spoke with a smirk, "Got you brat."

Her smirk changed to a painful scream as suddenly her outstretched hand turned into dust and from the looks of it was a rather painful process, and as the door slammed shut he received one last message from his protector, 'Your Highness whatever happens do not step out wait until the Royal family returns and do not worry we will be victorious.' and with that, the telepathic link between them snapped.

Ryuu looked at the door he could hear his heart hammering hard against his chest as he whispered out loud, "What just happened? Why was I attacked by Ayindril's army?"

His thoughts were cut short as he heard a loud boom from outside as a very horrible realization dawned, "Coup, I facing a freaking Coup d'état."

He was jolted from his seating position as another large bang was heard, wasting no time he ran much deeper inside his place of refuge as fast as he could while putting as many doors between him and the attackers.

He opened another set of doors as a feeling of relief came over him, 'This is it, I am happy that the Commander managed to bring me to this place, though it is a shame that the commander was not able to enter this place because of the various defences that only allows someone whose soul, blood and KI are keyed to it.'

A very large explosion was heard, an explosion that shook the room hard making Ryuu gulp as he spoke out loud, "I do not have much time."

He dashed towards what seemed to be a large globe of water floating on a dais, on his way he removed all his clothing, his space ring even his weapons, he gave one last look towards his sword and spear as he spoke with a voice full of sorrow, "I am sorry but I cannot carry you inside it, as it would cause interference so forgive me.", he felt a feeling of understanding and encouragement washed over him.

With the assurance of his weapons, Ryuu jumped into the globe of water, and as soon as he was inside the Globe he was hit was an indescribable feeling of being submerged into lava while at the same time he felt as if he was submerged in a pool of liquid nitrogen.

What made this room special as well as the most secured place in Ayindril was the presence of the Globe, it was no mere globe as it was the main controlling panel to control any and all arrays that were placed in Ayindril to ensure their defensive and offensive capabilities.

For someone on the level of his teachers or his older sisters, they would not have any need to personally enter this room to use those arrays at their full capacity, but for Ryuu, it would be too much strain as such he had to directly interact with the array using the Globe while at the same time he could only hope he was able to control most of the defensive measures.

Major Chen frowned as he looked at the door through which stood between him and Ryuu, they wanted to capture him alive so that they might have a way to hold him as a hostage as a bargaining chip but because of the Commander of the Wojownik Cienia's interference Ryuu had escaped, not to mention he had one of his hand removed and even with ten of his people working with him, four of them were dead, three were crippled and the rest were like him with various states of injury but worst of all the Commander had escaped.

"He is not going to like this."

Chen glared at the speaker as he spoke, "So what are you waiting for the break that door ope…", whatever he was going to say came to a halt as he looked around before speaking in a confused tone, "What happened where did that thrice-damned brat go?"

His companions looked confused as he shouted out to them, "Move, move and search for him, it might be something those blasted whores might have given to protect him, he might be invisible try and found him fast."

What they did not know was that as soon as Ryuu had taken control of the array, he had activated the defensive measure around the place where he was hiding, amongst them, one of them made the place invisible, another would wipe the location of the place while another would make a subtle gesture for people to move away from the place.

Meanwhile, Ryuu found himself standing in front of multiple large screens that showed him Ayindril from various locations and with each new location his heart sank.

"Damn it, this is a full-on invasion we were betrayed by our own but why?"

All of a sudden he noticed something from the corner of his eye, the Commander seemed to have managed to gather the rest of Wojownik Cienia present in Ayindril and was preparing to make a counter-attack, as such using one of the arrays he decided to establish contact with the Commander.

"Commander, hello can you hear me."

The Commander of Wojownik Cienia went ramrod as a voice came from his side, "Your Highness is that you?"

"Yes, but let us skip the pleasantries, for now, the entire place is in chaos and people are being killed as such time is of the essence, I am now in control of some of the emergency attack and defensive arrays, as I am at your Command please order me as you see fir and we will drive those betraying sc.u.m out of Ayindril."

"Are sure you want to follow my instruction?"

"Of course compared to your experience mine is nothing as such I would gladly follow your lead but upon saying that I do not wish for my teachers or any of my older sisters to know of this yet, my eldest sister does not need any distraction and I do not wish her security to lessen."

"As you wish Your Highness, then please start with the puppet army that is stored around Ayindril, begin by releasing them but do not overtax yourself, as if you collapse we will lose."
