Chapter 347 - Gathering of the Strong(Part-1)

A group of cultivator sat on a floating platform created by one their own, as they water lapped lazily across the surface a heated discussion was brewing as they argued amongst each other, the platform although big enough to hold a hundred was nowhere big enough to hold all of them as others were using similar methods or were simply floating on the air lazily.

Ryuu had a saucer full of wine which he sipped at it lazily, 'Nice, the 'Purple Fire Sake' has a nice spicy aftertaste I believe that it is something which 3rd mistress will approve of, now to find out where it is made.'

"Excuse me Daoist Ryuu.", a melodious voice came to his ears as he turned he was greeted by the sight of a woman with turquoise colored hair wearing a bluish dress with a matching veil covering most of the lower part of her face, even then she looked extremely pleasing to many cultivators eyes easily standing on par with Zywia with her mesmerizing red eyes, unlike many cultivators who had leered at her upon seeing her well endowed chest Ryuu simply smiled at her as he looked directly into her eyes as he spoke, "Yes how may I help you miss, although I vaguely recall seeing you somewhere but I fail to remember your name."

The woman looked as if slightly embarrassed as she spoke, "Oh how rude of me, I forgot to introduce myself my Dao name is 'Frozen Ocean' I am older martial sister of 'Frozen Sky' and 'Frozen Flames'."

Ryuu's eyes widen slightly as he spoke, "Ah remember you were there with Sister Frozen Flames, unfortunately I was in a bit hurry my older sisters are a bit impatient as such I had to leave so rudely for that I apologize, so how are they all doing your Sisters and their disciple."

"They are doing well, in fact I want to convey their gratitude for saving their disciples without your help we would have had suffered a fate worse than dead.", the tone full of gratitude made Ryuu gave her a warm smile.

"It was something anyone would have done for.", was his reply.

But before anyone could say anything about it a voice intervened their small talk, "Sister Frozen Ocean when will you introduce fellow Daoist to us."

Ryuu looked at the new comer with hair as black as midnight cascading down as water fall, with red pouty lips and violet hair looked at him intently as Frozen Flames spoke, "Daoist Ryuu she is my friend her name is ...."

Before she could say Zywia spoke with a growl, "Kangjon Su-Min, it has been a while."

The woman turned towards Zywia as she gave a smirk as she spoke, "Well well princess it has been a while."

Ryuu tilted his head as he spoke curiously," Sister Zywia you know her.", and how could he not be curious when suddenly an acquaintance of Zywia suddenly appeared.

Zywia nodded at that as she went and hugged the person in question who returned in kind with a smile on her face.

Frozen Ocean tilted her head at that before she turned towards Ryuu as she spoke, "Well along with me are my friends Daniella and Amnon."

Ryuu nodded towards a man and a woman, the man had a white hair with red eyes and the woman had purple hair with blue, from the closeness he saw Ryuu deduced them as couple.

Ryuu simply nodded towards them as he spoke with a smile, "Nice to meet."

"CAPTAIN RYUUUUU!!!!!", a shrill voice came to his ears as he turned his head slowly as he saw a person almost crossing the eight feet mark hulking towards him he tensed up as the person neared him bowing reverently like he was some form of deity drawing curious stares towards him he even saw some people trying to stifle their laughter, it was so embarrassing that he was wishing to disappear.

As the person looked up expectantly Ryuu could not help but speak, "Excuse me but do I know you?"

The person looked at Ryuu as his voice quivered, "Your highness you do not remember, you were there in….", before anyone could react the person suddenly jumped towards him, as a dagger appeared in his hand as he went for the kill, " Venomous Naga cut!", a shout came from him as he moved for the kill.

Zywia let out a squeak, as Ryuu moved showing an incredible agility jumped sidewise from his seat as he grasped the hand holding the dagger applying pressure while twisting it making the dagger lose, before he hit him hard on several parts of the assailants body as sickening crunch arose from them, before he flung the dagger towards Zywia so fast that she was unable to react as it went past her with crackle of electricity and loud sonic boom, a small gurgling noise brought her notice as she saw a headless body fall into the ocean.

To a cultivator of Mystic Immortal a small broken body is nothing, they could still fight still activate dangerous talisman as such Ryuu made sure to send with each strike send a small part of a large array whose work was to join together and seal the KI circulating the assassins body along with it also destroyed any and all form of array hidden in the assailant's body.

'Ho an array that released a deadly poison that can be activated by self or remotely, hmmm I might study both the array and the poison later.', was Ryuu's thoughts as he threw the dagger towards another assailant using a concept he had learned during his previous birth, the rail gun which when couple with KI infused throw was highly deadly not to mention the array that he inscribed with touch, when the dagger met with the eye of the second assassin not only did it take his eye off and punctured his head, but the array activated and literally vaporized it.

"Ryuu are you alright?", came a concerned shout from Zywia as she moved to his side, while Ryuu looked down at the assassin who was lying near his feet foaming from the mouth dead.

"Tc, he committed suicide.", Ryuu remarked as he kneeled near his body as others surrounded him, making a circle.

"Ryuu….", Zywia began again with concern before Ryuu cut her off as he spoke, "I am fine but do not try to go and retrieve the body it might have some trap on it, damn this fellow committed suicide before I could ask some questions though.", as he replied he grumbled inwardly, 'Damn it I have to up my speed of array creation if only I had managed to add a few more I would have easily prevented him from suicide.'

Ryuu had almost stripped the dead assassin n.a.k.e.d when he finally saw a tattoo, a serpent head with deadly fang looking ready to bite, which looked to be slowly fading.

Frozen Ocean narrowed her eyes as she spoke, "I have seen that tattoo somewhere."

Amnon narrowed his eyes as he spoke, "Fury of Nirvana."

Ryuu nodded at that as he spoke, "Yes a rather despicable group that will do anything for a prize."

Su-min smirked at that as she spoke, "You seem to have made some interesting enemies but 'Captain'?"

Zywia sighed as he replied on Ryuu's behalf, "He is my big brother's colleague and they are bound to ruffle some feather to make some enemies."

"Well since the excitement is over can we begin the meeting now.", came a bored and lazy voice to everyone's ears drawing their attention.
