Chapter 391 - Igniting The Fires of War (Part-1) (1/2)

”So what we will do is pretty simple, just like Brother Ryuu told us a few days ago, I hope you remembered the story of how two groups were brought down to their knees by the third, he simply committed crimes and then made sure to frame the two groups slowly and surely turning into each other, and then the capitalize on the situation what Brother Ryuu had suggested is extremely easy for us they are already at each other's throat as such we would simply light the fire and fan the flames.”

A rather eloquent cultivator finished his speech only for another to begin his, ”What Brother Daoist said is true but at the time he also failed to mention how delicate the situation is, from a glance we can see two groups who are fighting against each other but at the same time we should not forget that they have been fighting for who knows when and as such they should be familiar with each other's tactics and as such it would be very easy for them to notice something amiss and I do not doubt that they might be already aware about us and it would not take much longer to add two and two make four and then we have to fight on both of them after all we are the third part that had encroached upon their lands and because of us they might form a temporary truce to deal with us.”

Many nodded at that after all being cautious was an extremely good habit until one of them spoke aloud, ”Hey has anyone seen brother Ryuu? After all we are following his suggestion so where is he?”

True-Spear grunted at that as he replied to them, ”He volunteered to take my shift according to him, he was getting bored and wanted to stretch his legs but he should be back by now.”

Severing Saber shook his head as he spoke, ”Even after all possessing many good qualities Young Ryuu is too restless as well as lazy, always seeking for something that would either keep his attention or sleeping.”

Chianyu frowned as he spoke, ”Why do you refer to him as 'Young Ryuu' many of us might be younger than you fellow Daoist Brother but I do not think we are that much younger.”

Severing Saber gave him a slight smile as he spoke, ”Forgive me brother Chainyu and anyone who might be offended but Ryuu reminds me of my Great Grandchild he would reach his Hundred years soon he is very lazy until something catches his eyes, Ryuu reminds me of him.”

Chianyu nodded at that as he cracked a small smile as he spoke, ”The only difference is Ryuu is million years older.”, Zywia almost choked on hearing that as even Frozen Ocean's brow twitched a bit.

Severing Saber nodded at that as he spoke, ”Exactly brother Chianyu exactly as you say.”

Whenever Ryuu's age was brought up Zywia had the sudden urge to hole up inside a room and cry at the unfairness of the world, even Frozen Ocean to a certain extent after all how many could claim they are an Mystic Immortal Emperor before their hundred years of age, Zywia still remembered how her parents had laughed upon hearing from her brother Cezary about Ryuu's strength thinking he was joking then it morphed into that of horror and finally resignation the only thing his parents would say was that even Pangu was less troublesome than Ryuu and how he was the only one in existence that had created such reality defying miracles, she had chalked it up as good luck but now she hoped that his luck would hold for many millennia to come, Frozen Ocean had a small chat with her and helped her realize that Ryuu might not be sleeping but because of the poison he was forced to rest often as such the duo decided to create as much distraction so that others might not learn about it.

”I am sorry everyone I was bit late.”, Ryuu came to the clearing with a figure covered from head to toe in some form of cloth making everyone look at the person curiously.

”Brother Ryuu, if I may ask who is this person accompanying you?”

Ryuu gained sad frown on his face as he spoke, ”Today when I took the shift on spying the second village or as I would designate its name as 'Beta', I came upon a startling discovery the Village 'Beta' are full of cannibals.”

At that everyone's eyes widen especially those that who were not spirit beast and had taken humanoid shape, cannibalism was seen as a taboo to any cultivator who indulges in it, it was one of those many taboos for that affects ones karma badly and tarnishes it to the point no amount of good deeds and repenting can make them karma good.

True-Spear frowned as he spoke while leaning forward, ”Brother Ryuu the person beside you did you rescue the person by your side?”
