Chapter 373 - Blood God's Fountain (Part-3)

Ryuu was laying on top of a rock formation as he looked at the red fountain of blood, as he let out a yawn he felt Zywia approach him.

"Brother Ryuu you did not mention them the working of the array completely."

Ryuu closed his eyes as he spoke with a smirk, "Why should I?"

"From the shy kid you changed a lot, the first time I met you, you seemed to be kind of depressed."

"Why should I not be after getting scolded by your older Sister."

Zywia's eyes widen a fraction as she spoke with a sigh, "Yes I remember you were dozing off during a meeting where you had been dragged off to attend alongside your sister, I meeting if I recall a meeting you had no reason to participate."

Ryuu gave her a small smile as Zywia continued speaking, "So many years have passed away since then, and now from a Void Immortal you are now peak Mystic Immortal Emperor."

Ryuu nodded as an array glowed under his hand as he spoke, "Yeah so many, I missed almost half a century of my life gone because I was in coma."

Zywia frowned at that as she spoke, "I heard tidbits about it, so the woman was strong."

Ryuu snorted at that as he spoke, "Strong would be understatement, I was in a tea shop you know when she approached me asking permission to take the unoccupied seat in my table, when she suddenly started speaking as if she had known me forever, her aura I knew I would not win so I ran but it was futile, my flying vessel went up in flames as my bodyguards intervened, I never knew their names as they referred themselves as numbers."

Zywia listened with rapt attention as Ryuu continued, "They had protected me many times whenever I had landed in some idiotic situation, two of them stayed back as the third teleported with me but it was all for naught for we found ourselves face to face with her again, she was holding the severed heads of the other two, they were not weaklings but strong honest to Heaven DaoFather level opponents and what did she do she simply walked and tore the soul out of the third one, they I found myself being forcibly kissed with her tongue down my throat."

"WHATTTTTT!!!!" Zywia gave an incredulous shout as Ryuu chuckled as he spoke, "Oh what a kiss it was full of passion if it weren't for the feeling of having someone tearing our brains out did not accompany with it, and I was so scared I still sometimes have nightmares of her."

An uncomfortable silence descended amongst them before Zywia spoke, "Then what happened."

Ryuu sighed as he continued, "She was practically shoving Dao into my brain causing it to almost make brain dead, not to mention I was forced to watch my previous life, and when I woke up I was a Mystic Immortal Emperor who had spend over half of his life comatose."

Zywia winced at that as she spoke, "How strong is she?"

Ryuu closed his eyes before he spoke, "She strolled into Ayindril once, when all of my teachers were present, along with my sisters not only that three more cultivators whose strength equal to my teachers and older sisters were present and in spite of all those people present there, she casually crushed my third sister's heart before anyone could react."

When he said that Zywia looked ready to faint upon hearing that as she spoke, "That is impossible how is that even possible what is she?"

Ryuu snorted at that as he spoke, "That is something I myself wonder often what she is, my teachers your parents they are known to have reach the pinnacle of cultivation yet they fall short of her by quite a margin."

Zywia felt a headache forming as Ryuu turned on his side as he supported his head with his hand as he spoke with a yawn, "Why are you suddenly interested in such old dreadful stories?"

Zywia sagged as she spoke, "Because I am bored, this entire trip is nothing but facing near death situations not to mention we have yet to find anything of value."

Ryuu closed his eyes as he spoke, "So true so true, though dear sister Zywia I spoke with you so much yet what precaution have you taken so that no one eavesdrop on us."

Zywia gave him a smug smile as she spoke, "I used a talisman that prevents someone from listening to our talk."

Ryuu stifled a yawn as he spoke, "Is that so.", as Zywia nodded she felt something fizzle near her back making her yelp in surprise as Ryuu continued in an extremely bored tone, "Then next time do not forget to check for any bugs that had been planted on you."

Zywia's jaw was unhinged before her eyes shone in anger at having an array placed on her discreetly with her realizing it as she spoke, "Duly noted brother and thank you."

Seeing Ryuu roll back again into lying position Zywia could not help but ask, "You could have tried to gather some of the nucleus I have seen you use something similar in the first level so why did you not gather some."

"I see no reason to, not to mention the fact it would further complicate make the array even more difficult to draw by them, although it would have been nice if we could get out hands on some nucleus.", as Ryuu spoke his brow twitched as he smiled inwardly, 'I got the nucleus of the 'Emperor, Celestial 2nd level not bad.'

Zywia nodded at that as she spoke, "So true it would be nice, you know I have been thinking for some time now."

Ryuu started to sweat bullets upon hearing that, 'She is thinking oh Heavens, her greatest idea till date was sneaking into Eden without preparation, oh Heavens please someone save me.', bracing himself from whatever idea that might pop out of her brain and give him nightmare he send her an encouraging nod accompanied by faux smile as she continued, "About those laws you said to them, I remember my mother speaking about them, it was something like 'Code' something, something."

Ryuu completed on her behalf as he spoke, "'Codex Synergy', written by my teacher what of it."

Zywia deadpanned at him as she spoke, "You recommended them that book and then told them that you have yet to read it and have learned about it from your teacher and your teacher taught you about those laws."

Ryuu raised one of his brows as he spoke, "Well yes I learned everything from my teacher though she made me memorize the entire thing by heart even before I was 10 and I do not see its significance."

Zywia's eyes narrowed as she spoke, "You told them to inquire about any manual from Shangri-la Pavilion, you are profiting from them."

Ryuu snorted towards her as he spoke, "So I do not see any problem with it, as for the text they should forget it DaoFathers fight for a copy and it is very rare, and at their level they do not even have the strength nor influence and status enough to touch a summary of the chapters of the book let alone the original."

Zywia smiled warily at that as she spoke, "Chasing Winds is the type who will now chase after you for your knowledge."

Ryuu sighed as he spoke, "Well then she has to live with severe disappointment because I am not going to teach her or anyone else anything at all."

Zywia cracked a smile as she spoke, "Well one day you will be taking a disciple then you will have to share your knowledge."

Ryuu nodded towards her as he spoke, "Of course, but I doubt it would be anytime soon."

Zywia nodded at that when all of a sudden her eyes harden, "What about those deserters? We were gambling our lives, working hard those people had run away and I do not doubt when we move to the next level upon completion of the task those shameless deserters would join us as if nothing happen."

Ryuu gave her a smirk as he spoke, "Dear sister please do not get worked up about those deserters they were simply afraid and decided to take a cautious route and I hope they do so when the decide to venture into the next level after all it would be unfortunate that accident happened and we being tired from fighting against the horde failed to save them."

Zywia returned the smirk as she spoke, "Yes it would be unfortunate."

Meanwhile on another part of the cave a slap resounded as a feminine voice spoke with anger, "What is this rubbish, I gave you one task and you could not complete it, I told you to plant the bug on that girl so that I might eavesdrop on their chat and you could not even plant the bug properly all of you are hopeless."

The person in question had a perfect hand print on his cheek as he mumbled lowly but was loud enough for the person to hear, "But I did Boss Lady"

The woman in question had a vein throbbing on her forehead as she spoke with anger, "Then please explain to me why I am only hearing braying of DONKEY!!!!! GET OUT WORTHLESS TRASH!!!!"

With that she kicked the person as she spoke with a snarl, "If you want something done, do it by yourself and not use idiots.", and then with a huff she left.
