Chapter 1517 Suffocating Encirclement

"Who was that?"

A shadow appeared behind the old man who was still rolling Ryu's Fragmented Crystal between his fingers.

"Some young whippersnapper," the old man chuckled.

"I don't think if that was the case you would have talked to him for so long."

"There's the scent of stars on him."

"He's from the Fading Star Sect?"

"If he was, would he be here and so out of the loop?"

"But wouldn't he know what was going on if he was from the Radiant Star Sect as well? I don't think any disciple from that Sect, especially not such a weak one, would dare to appear out in the open like this so flippantly. Does he not want his life?"

"Maybe, unless he wasn't playing the fool. If he knew all of that, I reverse your question onto you, why would he come here?"

The shadow fell silent before finally speaking again.

"So you know who he is?"

"I have a guess."

The shadow's eyes narrowed. This old man only dared to have a guess when he was more than 90% likely to be correct.

"Who is he?"

Ryu felt that it was in one part due to his body, and another part due to his new status as a Sky God, not to mention his breakthrough in forming his own unique constitution.

The world around him didn't just match his movements, it was eager to do so, rushing and even pushing the other energies around it out of the way so that they could be first in line.

He had restrained himself while in the old man's city, but now that he needed speed, gorgeous silver runes danced around him and fueled his body with every step. He could even feel his cultivation enhancing by incredibly small increments.

And then he met the first line of defense.

Sensing all the exceptionally powerful Sky Gods around him, Ryu was quite speechless for a moment. They were being more shameless than he thought they were, this was completely brazen.

The instant he had heard about the Battle of Faith, he knew immediately that the Azure Lightning Sect and the Raging Inferno Sect would do what they could to suppress them, including encirclements if they had to.

But usually, this would be done more covertly.

"Where's the shame?" Ryu couldn't help but chuckle to himself as he shot past them.

Get into an all out battle with these Perfect Sky Gods? That would be the pinnacle of foolishness.

That old man had no idea that Ryu could casually enter the void even while in only the first Sky God Realm, so he had no idea that things would be this easy for him.

This would cause the old man to lose a bit of the wealth he was planning on making off of Ryu, but who inquired him to be such a busy body to begin with?

Ryu continued to move and he was finding himself to be more and more without words. The encirclement was practically endless and stretched as far as the eye could see. It took him three more days of traveling just to see the density of Sky Gods finally whittle down a little bit, but by the end of it, he was entirely stunned.

So these were the suffocating methods of these "powerful" Sects. How noble of them.

Ryu, whose personality had mellowed out quite a bit in recent years, suddenly found his gaze turning cold again.

He didn't rely much on the Radiant Star Sect, if at all. But he owed Aika quite a large debt of gratitude and his impression of Selheira wasn't bad either.

These people were truly pissing him off.

Ryu stepped out of the void when he sensed the final encirclement and spotted the Radiant Star Sect in the distance, his unfamiliar aura suddenly becoming akin to a blazing torch in the night.
