Chapter 1514 Troublesome
Ryu moved with lightning-like swiftness. Though he was in Azure Lightning territory, the truth was that he didn't feel much pressure at all. The number of spatial experts were far too few, and even those that were likely had weaker affinity than himself. Unless someone locked onto his aura before he entered the void, was actively scanning the void, or he chose to expose himself, the danger he was in was relatively lesser.
Plus, he had just spent the last several chasing down treasures the likes of which even Dao Gods might drool over. If he lost his life so casually now, wouldn't it be too ridiculous?
However, Ryu was still in a bit of a predicament. He wasn't sure where the Radiant Star Sect was.
In the past, Aika had been quite arrogant, stamping down the Sect right in the middle of the Heaven she ascended to. But Ryu highly doubted that she could continue to be so arrogant after coming back to the Seventh Heaven. Finnd new chapters at novelhall.com
Granted, it would likely be less due to Aika herself, and mostly due to the external pressure from the elders and grand elders that had returned from the Sixth Heaven as well.
Ryu wasn't too worried, though. Finding out about the first Sect to rise up to the Seventh Heaven in several generations was an easy task. He was sure that there would be some wars that had broken out, and in a territory like this one, controlled by one of the Sect's competitors, it would be even easier to find information.
Ryu hesitated for a moment and chose to step out of the void. He slipped a mask onto his face and tied his flowing white hair up.
He didn't very much like to tie his hair up like this, but the minor details would likely go a long way in a situation like this one.
The town he approached was known as Thunder Brace City. Seeing the guards all wearing brass braces embedded with azure coloured gems, one could easily decipher where the place got its name from.
Ryu smiled to himself. He missed having his eyes. Now he could freely scan everyone he came across and they would truly be none the wiser.
'And then there's my "handler"...' Ryu thought with a chuckle.
On a building in the distance, the moment he had stepped into the city, someone was tasked with following him. They were quite covert and this person was in the Perfect Sky God Realm, but they couldn't escape Ryu's eyes at all.
The middle-aged man didn't seem to have malicious intentions, it was more likely that whenever someone stepped into the town with a mask, they were assigned someone to watch over them.
'Security is actually so tight. Is this because of the potential war that's likely still ongoing? Or has it always been this way?'
Ryu asked the little woman since he wasn't sure.
"This is fairly common on the Ninth Heaven, but this is definitely new to me for this Heaven. Then again, it's been a very long time since I returned here, I didn't even know your Heavenly Pupils had actually fallen so far until recently."
Ryu nodded to himself. Indeed, he probably shouldn't rely on Hope for information.
'I can't afford to eat as much as I want either, how troublesome...'
Ryu's body was exceptionally powerful right now, enough to barely rival a weaker False Sky God.
One could imagine, then, the kind of gaps there were between Sky God Realms if he was "only" able to fight a single level above with his body.
