Chapter 414 - Sneaking Past (Part-4) (1/2)

Suran yawned as he looked at the queue in front of him, Lady Unanresh had ordered them to deploy and they had done so, he was the lowest of the low only a 7th rank Mystic Immortal Emperor, as such he who was nowhere near the power totem pole had only one thing in his mind, that was to survive by hook or crook, he was a grunt to the major power holders who were present here and he knew that he might one day lose his life because a certain big shot woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

'Why did I decide to venture into this wretched place when I am such a low-level cultivator compared to them, me and my rotten luck, I doubt there would be anyone as foolish as I am.'

That was his last thought before he felt a sharp pain, and his vision went blank, meanwhile, a certain someone whose name was Zywia sneezed out loud drawing a glare from everyone present.

Unanresh cursed at her luck, at first there was a barrier that prevented them stepping into the seventh level and when they did manage to step into the seventh they were again stopped by another barrier which they had to break to step forward and she knew that she had lost valuable time while doing so, and time was what her prey needed now the entire reason she had ordered the camp to break was meaningless.

'I will not accept defeat so easily, I am going to find them and kill them.', and with that thought in mind, she pushed forward.

Ryuu looked at the scene in front of him with a smile, as he gave himself a mental pat on his back for successfully pulling the wool over their enemies' eyes.”

With his victim's body was safely stored inside his space ring as he sank into the shadows before he moved to the next one.

A few minutes before the arrival of Unanresh, Ryuu led his companions directly towards the portal but instead of following Elmer's plans, he turned and quickly spoke towards his fellow companions.

”Deploy the illusion array make it look like we are crossing over to the other side.”

The cultivators who were given the responsibility of operating the array simply gave him a nod as they began working on their magic, while he haphazardly threw a couple of talisman around while a few of them went passed the portal.

Elmer looked at him furiously as he spoke, ”What are you doing?”

Ryuu simply sent him an unimpressed look as he spoke, ”Saving the life of my companions, if you wish to carry on with your plan please fill free to do so, my companions and I would prefer a different path.”

Elmer looked stunned at that before he noticed that the Deva realm cultivators were following Ryuu's instructions without complaining as such he held his tongue and decided to follow Ryuu's instructions as well.

”We are done with that Brother Ryuu, to onlookers, it would look like we all ran to the seventh floor, now what.”

Ryuu looked at his fellow cultivators as he spoke, ”Well now follow me closely but remember not to drop the array no matter what.”

He then lead the groups towards the direction of their approach before stopping a good few distances away before he let loose dozens of talismans which was swirling around them before he slammed his hand on the ground, the talisman glowed as a blue-coloured barrier surrounded them, upon seeing it Ryuu let out a satisfied smirk as he spoke, ”Well with this barrier in place, they will never be able to detect us and now we move to the next phase.”

With that, he went towards the side as he snapped his finger and partition wall appeared obscuring their view, as a few seconds later Ryuu stepped out dressed as a normal Preta realm cultivator's armour not to mention he had a matching mask to go along with it.

”I hope that some of you are already carrying the armours that we have received by killing them, so what are you all waiting to wear them.”

At his words a few of them enthusiastically went to change wear the armour of the Preta realm cultivators, it was as if Heaven was looking after them, each cultivator whether they be from Deva or Manushya wore armour that they prefer, but the Preta realm was different they had generalized armour design, as a result, most of them except a few wore similar armour and some of them even had a mask covering their face, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise for them, as it would help them to blend in properly.

Ryuu meanwhile looked at a few who had a look of embarrassment on their faces, chief among them was Zywia.

'I should have known, she had thrown away the armour, also there was no reason for her to keep them until and unless they prefer to take some kind of trophy.'
