Chapter 356 - Into the Abyss(Part-2) (1/2)

Ryuu took out his trusted kiseru as he took a puff of smoke, all those nearby suddenly felt as if they were about to enter a trance it suddenly felt so peaceful only to be a voice to break it, ”Don't let your guard down.”

His voice jolted everyone awake as if a cloud had been lifted from their eyes as Su-Min quickly away from him as she spoke in an accusing tone, ”What did you do me?”

Ryuu lazily glanced at her as he spoke, ”Nothing.”

Su-Min raised one of her fingers as she spoke, ”You did something just now.”

Ryuu shook his head as the corner of his lips curled up in amus.e.m.e.nt as he spoke, ”Nothing as you can see that I am currently enjoying a peaceful smoke and since you people were dozing up I told you to wake up.”

Frozen Ocean narrowed her eyes as she spoke, ”That thing you are smoking it is…”

Ryuu gave her a dazzling smile as he spoke, ”A concoction created by my teachers that calms the blood boiling in my veins.”

Su-Min glared at him as she spoke with a growl, ”You should have warned us.”

Ryuu tilted his head as he spoke, ”Why should I you should already be aware that I was going to smoke making you all passive smokers and I am you ally as such you did not have any problem but what if I were your enemy but most importantly I would like some private space please.”

Zywia frowned at that as she looked at Ryuu, 'Something is wrong with him, since the battle he is acting not only hostile but rude as well, the Ryuu I know does not act like this.', before her eyes widen, 'No way he is still having problems since he went berserk as for others who shared the same fate they were all put down like rabid dog by their fellow cultivators but Ryuu he fought against it but that does not mean he is still not battling the side effects.'

She turned towards her fellow cultivators as she spoke, ”Sister Su-Min, Frozen Ocean if you will please I need to speak with you about something.”

As they duo went together with Zywia she spoke with a grimace, ”I am so sorry for the way he is behaving….”

Su-Min sighed as she spoke, ”Please there is no need for you to say sorry for someone like him.”

Zywia shook her head as she spoke, ”Ryuu is not like that, I do not know why but he is acting rather strangely I blame the strange attack that caused him to go berserk I believe he is not out of the woods as such he must be experiencing some sort of side effect so please give him some time to deal with it.”

Frozen Ocean tilted her head as she spoke, ”You care about him?”

Zywia sighed as she spoke, ”I entered here because of my pride and things I have since then had made me realize I bit of more than I could chew and Ryuu helped me in more than one way he could have left me behind yet he did not.”

Su-Min looked send a glance towards Frozen Ocean before she spoke, ”Hey Zywia I wanted to ask something before she spoke, ”What is Ryuu's relation with the Princess of Shangri-la?”

Zywia frowned at that question before her face broke into a smile as she spoke, ”Ah I remember you missed the 'Thousand Year' banquet as such you do not know and I do not know why your teacher did not mention to you, well sorry I will not tell you here in the open maybe sometime in the future from prying ears and Daoist sister please do not thing I meant you.”

Frozen Ocean nodded at that as she spoke, ”I understand, though what is this thousand year banquet?”

Zywia as well as Su-Min's smile widen as they began explaining to her about the 'Thousand Years' banquet.

Meanwhile Ryuu was in a bad mood it was getting difficult for him to reign in his bloodl.u.s.t as such he decided to meditate under the effect of the special concoction created by his teacher and it was working well as he had almost reigned in his control when all of sudden someone shook him awake.

Daoist Three-Lives was old, old enough to claim that even amongst all the cultivators present he might just be the oldest as well as one of the few who have returned for the third time, others say that once you have returned successfully from this wretched place then you are guaranteed to be a Celestial in no time then what about him and those who are forced to return here again and again and fail.
